Alchemy will be commercially viable when we figure out fusion at scale. A new wave of gold mining will devalue whatever's left in Fort Knox. And then this digital gold people call Bitecoin is going to gain prominence I guess?

who knew driving was such a dangerous activity?.
$UBER $LYFT $GETR @TURO all thought they were smarter than the insurance industry. Turns out the insurance market knew what they were doing and the hyper scalers were just trying to squeeze a few points of margin and clearly had no clue how tort liability actually should be.

cautiously optimistic, keep it up FL!.
Curious on folks thoughts regarding the negative sentiment with FL CAT carriers. Is it due to the lack of future growth due to all the citizens pull outs kind hitting a ceiling this year? . Fundamentals have actually never been stronger. Tort reform passed, claim frequency down.

Why do I build?.Not for Lambos or last iPhone. I build so I can:.→ Enough money to scuba dive .→ Kitesurf when it’s windy.→ And never again reply “Sure, happy to jump on a quick call”.
