  5. And crypto is seen as real money that people can't tamper with (at least control is decentralized and I can trust people to review the open source code). Why put your livelihood into something that could be manipulated or devalued without your input.

  6. Most people today probably still think of cryptocurrency as funny money, or a speculative asset class. But I believe we're going to see this perspective flip, probably starting with young people as with many things, where holding a government's currency is seen as funny money.

    Every year I do a big macro presentation. This year, ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’; we connected everyone (!), and wonder what's next, but meanwhile, connecting everyone means we connected all the problems. Tech is becoming a regulated industry

  10. Start a meeting with how you authentically feel (tired, nervous, excited). By letting your guard down you will recruit the room to your side so that everyone is rooting for you.

  11. I could see digitized fiat currencies making it easier for the IMF or others to create baskets, for instance. And it will just generally get a bunch of people more comfortable with digital currencies, which is good.

  12. It's a bit like countries that have created their own internets, vs using the global, decentralized internet.

  13. Cool to see more CBDCs coming out (central bank digital currencies) I don't expect these to have as big of an impact as global/decentralized cryptocurrencies, but they could be complementary in other ways.

  15. I used to hate running, but this is a form of exercise I can actually look forward to. Almost meditative, and keeps you sane/productive.

  16. 30 minutes of zone 2 cardio in the mornings (not very intense, think walking at a 7-8% incline on a treadmill for most people) is a great way to clear your mind, listen to educational content (audio books, podcasts), and even write down goals, journal, or practice a talk

  20. Otherwise you're just responding to other people's todos all day, not making progress on your top priorities. Periodically check your phone when you have time, it's fine to respond an hour later or a day later (or never).

  21. Productivity tip: your phone should be on do not disturb 100% of the time. The only thing that should allow your phone to vibrate is about ~10 people in the world (started contacts who can punch through DND in emergency) and your calendar app so you're not late to next meeting.
