Episode notes

In general, i'm more bullish on small countries. There may be a few large ones that are softer, save enough to compete. But there's a bunch of these small countries hat punch above their weight from a softer standpoint. And when it comes to siber security, quite arguably, the form of warfare of the future, or even the present, is that the smaller, large countries have the parative advantage in either attack or defence.

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.
