This Balaji guy seems pretty smart, he should start a network state
I'd help.
He's so gifted, but needs to stfu once in a while "that's right"
OK the 2 OGs on a podcast? Instant Click ... Wish this was a 4hr long version
Awesome to have the two people together that have most shaped my view on crypto. Already preordered the book and amped for it to come out!
Love the part at the beginning where he explains dns and web1
it really proves my thesis that web2.5 gonna be huge
I feel like I’m watching Chris through the peephole on my front door. 😂 Good interview!
I still miss Google Reader to this day
Historians will look back on that foolish deprecation decision as the turning point in Google’s decline.
And yes, I know the stock has been up a lot since then. But let’s not confuse financial performance with goodwill, long-term business model durability, etc
Hey Balaji you probably know by now but there is a freeze at 13:37 both on YT and Spotify
Fixed!
Chris is a smart guy
Verus Protocol is going to fill all the gaps that are in this crypto sphere and is already ready for use
Great insights ✌🏼 💯
bada bing!
Gods amongst men...
No mention of nostr. What a shame.
It's called NOSTR
Please launch paperback in India
Composability? SEE PROGRIUM’s Tractor and Wanix.
If blockchain is so useful, how come no one uses it?
This is my refutation of the usefulness of blockchain and decentralized databases/systems. It's been around long enough for significant user adoption to have occurred - if it were truly NET value-add, and truly NET useful for users.
I'm sympathetic to the aspirations and the (libertarian) values of independence, self-control, and decentralization behind much of the blockchain movement. But the costs/benefits balance just doesn't work - the proof of this is the lack customer adoption. It kind of reminds me of Marxism - good in theory in an ideal world but just does not work well in practice. Sorry.
People in the 90’s: The Internet is so useful, how come no one uses it?
1) Almost all of blockchain's value comes from network effects - the more people are using it, the better it becomes, non-linearly.
2) The technology is quite limited - high transfer fees, expensive storage costs, high electricity use, etc.
The philosophies are there, and I believe they're what matters in the longrun.
Stop thinking about the monetization and start thinking about community; they don't go together.
wow, chris' employees tell him his book is great? amazing 😂
