Episode notes

The chinese intronent is a lot more innovative than, let's say, the broad mass of the sesrelis one way of looking at that. The global english speaking population. I think there's many more English speakers outside the united states than there are within. And so now that those folks all have smart phones, it's only a matter of time before they're really heavily involved in us.

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.
