    Fun fact: @chia_project is the most decentralized and secure blockchain ever (350k full nodes vs BTCโ€™s 65k) and it uses 0.2% the energy of Bitcoin or 0.5% the energy of Ethereum. chiapower.org

    We've decided that if this passes, we're leaving CA.
    California lawmakers have introduced a plan to almost *double* state tax revenue, at an additional cost of $12,250 per household. A new 18.05% all-in top marginal rate on income. A 2.3% GRT would be 3x the nation's current highest. taxfoundation.org/california-heaโ€ฆ #CALeg #capolitics

    - True p2p offers - Scalable UTXO AMMs - UTXO DIDs - Ubiquitous on-chain royalties I don't think anyone in the world truly understands how massive this is. Seriously. You don't get it. I don't even get it.

    Also as much as I gripe about Chia, I still think there's a solid chance it flips ETH and BTC in the next 5-10 years. Ya I said it.

    One of my fondest memories is a dish walk (followed by PF Changs) in 2014 with @balajis and some other @a16z-ers. It was 4 straight hours of our heads exploding. It took weeks to digest what he said. I remember wishing there was a book I could reference. Thankfully, now there is
    I've been writing a book on how to start a new country. It's finally coming out. You can preorder it now. It arrives on July 4. amazon.com/dp/B09VPKZR3G
