The greatest bridge in crypto

There aren’t many people in crypto. We’re still on the way to 'onboarding billions'. It’s because it is isolated from the daily applications people use. Crypto systems don’t interact with the apps and platforms where most are. It's not surprising. Building a fair and open system is part of the crypto vision, and that's orthogonal to how most tech platforms run. They are for the most part incompatible. The root of this incompatibility is data verifiability. User data in web 2 is not verifiable...

The Precious and Arcane (an excerpt)

I was in 6th grade in the 1980’s when a classmate gave me what he called “a punk mixtape.” Side A was labeled SKATE ROCK and on Side B was scrawled SUICIDAL. We had basic cable and I’d already become a devout MTV watcher which had heavily influenced my musical tastes, but this cassette rewired my brain in irreparable ways. (I consider that a good thing by the way, anytime you have the opportunity to have your worldview turned upside down I highly recommend it.) I listened to it until it broke...

Unruly Futures 8: The New World Order

Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of Unruly Futures, once again by Francesco who's taking charge of these more and more while I mend a couple of broken bones of my kids — apparently, they won’t be pro skiers after all. Once again, macro, AI and robotics continue to be the most consequential topics, so they make the bulk of the weekly reading we did, but as usual there's quite a lot of other stuff. We cut down on proper science papers, but let us know if that's something you'd lik...

Memecoins and Marx(ists)

The best way to make yourself unpopular in crypto isn't to be a misogynist, a liar, or even a fascist - quite the opposite, those might even be somewhat celebrated. Instead, all it takes is digging out Marx's works and pointing out that the man who gave Capitalism its name had some insights into the relationship between society and capital that weren't all about crushing the bourgeoisie and bringing about a revolution. This much ahead, I am not a Marxist nor do I believe that we just need to ...

Threading the Needle

Since data allows us to price risk more accurately and, at the same time allows us to offer incentives for appropriate behaviour, it is a very useful tool for insurers looking to achieve optimal risk pooling. However, if we take it too far we risk ending up in a surveillance society.

The development risks you're not even thinking about

Real estate development is a risky endeavor and so a big part of this business is managing it. There's planning risk, market risk, construction risk, bad-drawing risk, and the list goes on. But it's also important to keep in mind that the risks you worry about the most will invariably change throughout the course of each real estate cycle. For example, early on my career, we worried a lot less about construction cost escalations. We'd plug in a 2-3% annual increase into the pro forma and then...

Recalibrating

Burnout. This is the word I’ve been searching for to describe how I have been increasingly feeling. Burned out. Over the last 12 months, there has been an increasing dissatisfaction and disillusionment with my 9-5 job. Sure, there’ve been plenty of instances over my 35+ year career where I’ve “had enough” of the bullshit (as according to Andrew 😊). We all have these moments. They are point in time, they pass, we get over it and we move on. What I have been experiencing of late is something d...

This is a lay of the land, breaking down how social platforms have innovated, scaled, and, in many cases, failed. By analyzing their strategies—what worked, what didn’t, and why—we can better understand the challenges and opportunities facing the next generation of social networks.

Wallet-Centrism

We are transitioning to an environment where users want to outsource and automate time-consuming yet complex tasks. Lower attention spans create opportunities for personalized autonomous agents that humans can utilize to delegate task execution. We've seen this already, where users have begun to transition away from numerous distinct websites and search queries for data in favor of text-prompted LLMs that provide a universal set of answers in one terminal. The natural next step is a locally-h...
