Episode notes

If you can't speak, you don't actually have a true voice, right? Because the guy who writes a headline on the day of the election then controls a million votes, and you have only one. So speaking rights are like voting rights in that sense. It's going to be very difficult for them to take away these rights because they're poorly organized. And i see this all the time with start ups, that they're small, but they're focused, and they can get more work done.

Balaji Srinivasan makes a return appearance to The Knowledge Project, this time to go in-depth on Web3, Crypto, and the state of the world today. Srinivasan offers his unfiltered thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of established democracies, the Russia-Ukraine situation, housing as an investment, education, legacy wealth, and which country he would bet on to dominate the future.

Srinivasan is the former CTO of Coinbase and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, and is an early investor in many successful tech companies and crypto protocols. He is also the author of the book The Network State: How To Start a New Country, set for release July 4, 2022.
