Do you know anyone living on crypto? I'm talking at least 80% of income in crypto, 80% of spending (not just selling for cash). If they have a bank they rarely use it. Send them my way, I want to talk to as many as possible!

Not every job should pay a "living wage" (whoever even determines that). I want to be able to do multiple "sub-living" wage jobs at the same time. I want to do a really low-activity low-wage job on evenings when I'm not busy. Minimum wage laws are opportunity killers.

Yesterday Brian nailed it: crypto companies are focused on the complete wrong stuff. The industry will look completely different in 5 years.

Privacy and free speech are fundamental human rights. You have the right to both speak your mind, and choose what you don't want to share. This is why I'm a fan of default-on, but not forcibly-on, privacy.

The weakening or collapse of the US federal government would usher in the greatest growth in freedom that any living American has ever experienced.

One of the most fun and energetic shows I've done in a while (even though it was almost two hours!). Esteban is a great guest for laughing about the ridiculousness of our times. 😁
