    EconStories presents a special event on entrepreneurship and innovation. PayPal co-founder and technology entrepreneur Peter Thiel visits the UT Austin campus to talk about innovation, entrepreneurship and his new book, "Zero to One."
    Available on Amazon: amzn.to/1Fp8aE3
    UT Austin Provost Gregory L. Fenves hosts the event at the LBJ Auditorium, and it is sponsored by the Innovation Center at the Cockrell School of Engineering.
    Thiel is hailed as one of the most successful investors in the world. After co-founding PayPal, he went on to co-found Palantir Technologies and invest in Facebook, where he still serves on the board. He's played major roles in dozens of successful companies and continually strives toward the next big thing. In "Zero to One," he emphasizes the need for entrepreneurs to grasp for the ideas that nobody else has in order to truly innovate. This new way of thinking about innovation encourages burgeoning business leaders to carve their own lane in a heavily saturated race toward success.
    "Zero to One," based on a course Thiel taught in 2012 at Stanford University, urges readers to see the broad picture and look past traditional boundaries between fields and industries in order to create a future full of innovation.

    That short term, medium term, and long term answer is absolutely genius

    I'm always so surprise why so little views from Peter Thiel's video. In my opinion he is one of the most important capitalist around.

    27:50, it's only been six years, but now you can buy and sell Bitcoin on PayPal, and use it for payments!

    A government can't shut down Bitcoin.

      But they can throw sticks in the wheels making it difficult and unattractive to use for the general population.

      They could buy all of them up as there is a limited supply.

      Max Power I wish they would try to buy all of the coins. That would translate in an incredible increase of: the price, validity and media attention.

      Max Power That wouldn't work for a number of reasons. Namely, they would have to buy them as they continue to be created with ever higher valuations. Many people wouldn't sell to the government, knowing this would happen, and they would profit greatly. One bitcoin can be split quite a bit, so a subset of bitcoins would still perform the same function as the whole. And finally, a different cryptocurrency would simply fill the gap. But really, it would be cheaper to hack bit-coin and subvert it. But why would they bother. It doesn't appear to be taking off in its current form.
