if you were designing money from scratch today, you’d get crypto. - Brian Armstrong

The U.S. finally feels like it's back on offense. Innovation is happening and is encouraged.

It's hard not to be an optimist right now. We're in a golden age for freedom.

Five freedoms in crypto:

1) Freedom to control your own money
2) Freedom to move your own money
3) Freedom to invest your own money
4) Freedom to preserve the value of your own money
5) Freedom to raise money

Count me as someone who believes AI should not be regulated

We need to make progress on it as fast as possible for many reasons (including national security). And the track record on regulation is that it has unintended consequences and kills competition/innovation, despite best intentions.

We’ve enjoyed a golden age of innovation on software and the internet largely due to it not being regulated. AI should do the same. The best protection is to decentralize it and open source it to let the cat out of the bag.
