I listened to the Lex Fridman podcasts with Sergei Nazarove and Charles Hoskinson recently. They really are wonderful podcasts, Hoskinson is a performer, he works the crowd well, he engages with Lex well. Sergei a little less, strictly clinical, famous for only wearing flannel shirts, less willing to engage in humour. These two podcasts reignite my love of cryptocurrency whenever I listen to them.
Money has been tight for me over the past year, I haven’t been able to invest in cryptocurrency regularly, I’m lucky nothing has happened over the last year in crypto and that I haven't missed out. These podcasts relit that fire in me, the devotion to the vision and the understanding of the process.
I used to be all in on Chainlink. When it comes to investing your CEO matters, Mark Zuckerberg defines this for me, whenever META stock has fallen I’ve bought in, even when I didn’t have the money to really. Why? Because I believe in Mark Zuckerberg more than I believe in any of his products. The guy made Facebook in his college dorm, and he didn’t sell it. He could’ve retired a long time ago and lived on an island somewhere, but he’s still here 20 years later, innovating, defending himself to Congress, killing it.
Tesla isn’t valued so highly because of its cars, it’s because people believe in Elon Musk. I get the same feeling from Sergey Nazarov, if there was somebody in crypto I had to give me money to, and trust, it would be Sergey Nazarov. He’s a serious guy…
