Episode notes

High school was kind of stultifying in the sense that you just couldn't learn anywhere near as fast. My brother ramji is very good at execution. He approaches problems in a different way than i do. List rank iterate is a great way to attack unstructured problems. I'm envious of kids to day who have stack overflow and get hub and, you know, a really functional google and what not.

When Balaji Srinivasan sat down for his conversation with Tyler he was the CEO of Earn.com. Today he is the CTO at Coinbase, which acquired his company in the intervening weeks (congrats Balaji!). But while his job title has changed, his passion remains the same: harnessing the power of the blockchain to launch a new generation of entrepreneurs, businesses, and entire markets.

Balaji talks with Tyler about the potential of the blockchain and beyond, including how firewalls may become the new immigration policy tool, why drones are still underrated, the future of news and academia, what the Silicon Valley opener reveals about how America views the tech industry, and more.
