Great explanation! Reminds me of a lovely conversation I had with @balajis nearly a decade ago talking about what he was doing with 21dotco and Bitcoin. Many a times, it’s all about timing in tech. Stablecoins + Agentic AI = 🎯 Good luck @brian_armstrong/@emiliemc 👍

An empty Chrome tab today needs more memory than Doom, Quake, Need for Speed, Age of Empires. Probably more memory than all of them combined too! These companies haven’t worked in a hardware/connectivity-constrained environment.

Still the best cold DM I got!

Why would I learn how to Google and get to the right source to understand something when I can subscribe to an AI chatbot, get the answer and then spend time on Google trying to figure if the chatbot was drunk. ;-)
