“What the smartest people do on the weekends is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years.”
— Chris Dixon

“Denying and pushing back against NFTs and crypto is basically saying: ‘We’re not going to have a collectively owned future. We’re going to have a corporate-owned future, and we’re going to have a government-owned future.'”
— Naval Ravikant

MORE CHRIS DIXON AND NAVAL RAVIKANT QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE

“We were told the internet is bad for creative people. The internet is not bad for creative people. Web2 is bad for creative people.”
— Chris Dixon

“Denying and pushing back against NFTs and crypto is basically saying, “We’re not going to have a collectively owned future. We’re going to have a corporate-owned future, and we’re going to have a government-owned future.'”
— Naval Ravikant

“As with all sorts of tech things and money involved, there are bad people. It’s just inevitable. It happened in the ’90s; it happened in the 2000s. It happens now. And those people give Web3 a very bad name. We want to get rid of those people.”
— Chris Dixon

“Where we started was we actually decentralized the hardest thing. The hardest thing to decentralize is money. And once you have money decentralized, then you can own private property.”
— Naval Ravikant

“The killer app of the internet is networks. We’ve got a million networks built on this thing now.”
— Chris Dixon

“Any regulator that stops the next generation of artists and musicians and gamers and game developers from owning their platforms and their work is going to go into the wastebasket of history as a villain. It’s that simple.”
— Naval Ravikant

“Step one will be you take the existing artists and they get more money. Step two is you’re going to incentivize a whole new generation to go do these cool things.”
— Chris Dixon

“This should be the greatest time in history for creative people.”
— Chris Dixon

“I really believe very strongly that one of the most important things you can do is just go speak to a lot of people. That’s where I get all of my information is talking to entrepreneurs, talking to people that are smarter than me.”
— Chris Dixon

“I think Web3 is not only better for the world, but it’s also going to beat Web2. It’s going to be more popular because the people get really excited when they actually get to participate.”
— Chris Dixon

Hi Tim,

As a web 3 explorer and optimist, watching you take the web3-pilled the past few months via the podcast and Twitter has been beyond exciting. Your podcast and content inspired my life in many ways – the most formidable being my goal of becoming a great podcaster and inspiring me to start my own web3 podcast (tagged in profile).

I am searching for a way to go full-time into crypto, preferable in research, venture or podcasting. It sounds like you are spending more and more time thinking about yourself and the space (perhaps an NFT mint, the foundation as a DAO or the place of the creator in web3). I would love to join your team and help you explore/research your many ideas, keep up with the space and plan for future crypto native guests.

With the convergence of someone that shaped my life and an idea we share the same fire for (the keep you up all night sensation), I thought it would be worth a 12:43 am blog post comment. (Also based in ATX!)

Hello Tim! First-time commenter, thanks for the content you put out. I’m a Mendocino (ARG) listening from Southern California, drinking some mate 🧉. As a self-publish author, I am wondering how one can sync content into the Web3 revolution. I’m sure if I keep listening I’ll find actionable advice. 🤷🏽🤷🏽 All the luck on your NFT project for scientific R&D!

Hello Tim , Your 5 Bullet Friday blog lists Destino by Disney & Dali . Disney was a racist & Dali a fascist and it brings to mind how non white people like me reconcile the race / facism issue. There is often an extra layer non white people have to deal with . I do not know if this issue has been discussed in your podcasts but it would be interesting to know your views. Thank you 🙂

Thank you for this interesting podcast episode. When the question on learning about crypto came up, it seemed like it was tailored towards politicians. What about the regular internet people? If you want to learn the basics of crypto, I’d recommend the still underappreciated YouTube series School of Block created by Ledger and The DeFiant.

[Moderator: YouTube link removed to prevent embed.]

I like the series for its entertaining value and covering the basic concepts, which get compared with the real-world equivalents. It even covers the pump and dump scams and how risky it might be to get into any crypto asset, so not only showing the positive side of web3.

For years, I’ve been very skeptical about crypto assets, and this series adjusted my direction towards considering owning some assets. Yes, there are still numerous issues to solve like the high demand of power for transferring or creating these assets, which are not yet renewable. It does, however, solve several other issues, that our economies haven’t tackled for decades and even centuries, when it comes to ownership and supporting the people, who do the actual work. Even during this interview, I was wondering about the opportunities of an Uber alternative because the drivers deserve more of the fare they collect.

Heyo Tim!

This is my first time to your website; I love your books and podcast. You rock!

I was excited by this eye-opening interview about NFT’s because I’m a creative.

I looked further into it and found some disappointing challenges.

Is anyone addressing these important issues?

1. Many artists are deeply dismayed because people are grabbing (stealing) their images off the internet and minting them for their own profit. What would be celebrated by artists is actually making artists angry and fearful. This is also a bummer for buyers who want to support artists and buy something authentic.

2.The computing power to process the blockchains creates a huge gob of pollution because of the energy it consumes. It’s contributing an alarming amount to global warming.

3. Security for the tokens and wallets is not always the highest. Millions of dollars have been lost.

If you hear of emerging solutions to these problems, please share it with us in follow up podcasts. I am interested in hearing more.

Keep up the amazing work!

-Michelle

We are yet to get a full grip of the sudden surge of cryptocurremcy and we have the NFTs pushing the boundary of our imagination, these technological transformation seems is just the beginning, as we are entering the web3.0, just tip of the iceberg, and we have the full stack digital disruption coming like a tsunami.We get the answer how we need to prepare ourselves for such an onslaught of disruptive digital ideas…

There couldn’t have been three better experts to simplify these complex concepts and lay it so beautifully for common person like me to have a good understanding of the multiplicity of loaded layers between the new peices of technology at play. We are all playing but we are very little aware of the game behind the scene.

Thank you so much for such a lovely and enriching discussion. I really loved the way three of them have such deep respect for each other and waiting for their turn without having to cut over other. There is fun and there is this eye for finer print. Striking the perfect chord. All have one clear objective in their mind of breaking down the complexity of such technological concepts and making it simpler for such easy understanding.

Also, so much to learn from Chris who has been there when these technologies were in their embryonic stage, we can learn so much more from their mistakes and Naval highlights what he missed out and how we should all be vigilant of things and spot certain hidden trends, if we are deeply observant, we can recognize those finer aspects, we can all make the difference that matters, we can as well be part of making the market, become the creators where we are now frantically trying to participate…and many times miss the bus and find it hard to board the next…

Terrific show and guests.
The thing that jumped out is the need for messaging/branding around web3 – the perception around the blockchain and crypto seems really problematic.

My brother and I are native Austinites and own a branding firm here. We’re best known for creating the Austin FC branding from identity to ‘Grow The Legend’. We just finished our first meta verse / NFT related project for a video game called Million On Mars which is an Austin startup. We’ve worked in public health, food, politics, music, whiskey, healthcare and more.

Would love to connect if you want to talk about brand.

Hey Tim,

This was such a fun episode and was really pertinent – I’ve spent the last 2 months building an NFT for mycophiles and have been trying to figure out the best way to use it to support my favorite research and teams (primarily Johns Hopkins and MAPS).

If you’re interested in connecting sometime, I’d be open to donating the art/concepts you need to launch your series.

Thanks for the many years of entertainment and info – your work has been ever-present throughout the last decade of my life.

Hi Tim,

The Tim Ferris Show was the first podcast I ever heard in my life during the pandemic ( April 2020) last year and after the first episode thought how on earth I missed such wealth of information and it had to be gold standard of podcast! Since then I had been swept away by the vortex of podcast and created mine own for fun.

Hearing this podcast I still belief your show is still the GOLD standard of podcast world.

P.S. I was coming back from an investor meeting a bit demotivated as was quoted “You are daring to go into a complex , super fragmented world “. This podcast fired mw up with inspiration and fire power to my engine.

Many regards

Hey there,

I’ve spent weeks exploring the space and don’t agree with any of what these experts are saying.

The nobel price servant Paul Krugman said it best in his post “Technobabble, Libertarian Derp and Bitcoin”.

“And nowadays we use Bitcoin to buy houses and cars, pay our bills, make business investments, and more.

Oh, wait. We don’t do any of those things. Twelve years on, cryptocurrencies play almost no role in normal economic activity. Twelve years is an eon in information technology time. Venmo, which I can use to share restaurant bills, buy fresh fruit at sidewalk kiosks, and much more, was also introduced in 2009. Apple unveiled its first-generation iPad in 2010. Zoom came into use in 2012. By the time a technology gets as old as cryptocurrency, we expect it either to have become part of the fabric of everyday life or to have been given up as a nonstarter.

But I’ve been in numerous meetings with enthusiasts for cryptocurrency and/or blockchain, the concept that underlies it. In such meetings I and others always ask, as politely as we can: “What problem does this technology solve? What does it do that other, much cheaper and easier-to-use technologies can’t do just as well or better?” I still haven’t heard a clear answer.

Why are people willing to pay large sums for assets that don’t seem to do anything? The answer, obviously, is that the prices of these assets keep going up, so that early investors made a lot of money, and their success keeps drawing in new investors.

This may sound to you like a speculative bubble, or maybe a Ponzi scheme — and speculative bubbles are, in effect, natural Ponzi schemes. But could a Ponzi scheme really go on for this long? Actually, yes: Bernie Madoff ran his scam for almost two decades, and might have gone even longer if the financial crisis hadn’t intervened.”

First, crypto boosters are very good at technobabble — using arcane terminology to convince themselves and others that they’re offering a revolutionary new technology, even though blockchain is actually pretty elderly by infotech standards and has yet to find any compelling uses.”

I’ve read dozens of white papers, most of them written in conjunctive saying “Could possibly to this and that”. Not a single technology (other than maybe the NFT games) have so far done anything. Let alone replaced any of the large tech giants.

It’s all about profit. I would never take advice from either of the two podcast guests as they are financially incentiviced to talk positively about it.

Would be interested about other peoples opinions who can think more critically.

For me, I’ll much rather stick to stock picking.

Excellent episode as always I feel these deep dives are slowly helping to understand blockchain. I am attempting to ask a follow-up question correctly.

You bring up the potential of NFTs to bring better equity of income to creators, but I’m curious if/how these works pass into the public domain. i.e. could some very egregious IP owners (e.g.Disney) use NFTs as away to lockup art forever or would/should NFT’s eventually become public domain?

I felt really excited depressed after this pod. I am a 50 year old contractor/finish carpenter with a degree in drama, math and science are not my strong skills and I just feel like I am going to be left out of this amazing web 3 experience. Anyway, you could do a pod about how a mere mortal like myself can get involved? I don’t even know where to start, do I have to learn to program? Are there websites that I can utilize that can m\help me get involved?
It sounded like you, Tim. are still trying to figure things out so I feel like if you don’t get it I am hooped. anyway. great pod love the show.
Take good care,

Hi Christian, I don’t think that you will end up being left out. You don’t need to be able to code as the web3 developers will make sure that their apps are easy to use. I would suggest getting started with buying small amounts of crypto and go from there. There is an overwhelming amount of services out there so I get your point.

I kept waiting to hear how to write for 3.0! Has the Tim Ferris blog figured out how or where to host/post? Create content for the 3.0 Substack or Medium?

I’ve heard of some NFT books, but I’m super curious how to simply blog. Also is an NFT podcast scene happening? My search has only just begun but I wonder if anyone knows already.

So far I have not seen any NFT art I want to hold for 5 years… but there are people I have been reading for a lot longer than that. Supporting the creators I love, along with publishing my own writing in a less saturated space is a concept that has me captivated.

I could feel the excitement in this podcast, it was intoxicating. Super fun to feel like I can get involved in my little way along with the frothing VC guys haha

Thank you for the stellar podcast! I have a question:

The group in this episode mentions people who may have missed the first few boats in web3 shouldn’t feel rushed to get on the next one or worried there aren’t more boats coming to build wealth, but I was wondering when will be the time to be worried about not getting on the boat to just survive in the new decentralized financial world?

When do any of the above thinkers (or people in the comments section) think fiat currency will be almost worthless? When will people be saying, “I need BTC, ETH, etc. to feed my family”?

Many thanks!

Esoteric logical things? .. is not logical ..

ethereum is an SJW coin careful man ..

Chris, that’s .. not really true either you don’t own your domain, yes, but as we saw ie with gab (for a whole host of other reasons won’t get into) it’s the gateway providers who wield the real power ..look at all sites that have gone offline ..

Misunderstood or deliberate ..i’ve always said; money has been dammed up not being able to flow through the mkts w/ ppl following it. ..

Pls. The Left doesn’t want to rein in Big Tech – look who is promoting fake news, etc.

Naval ya, the Pirate party would totally love this; co copyright, etc .. I nvr cared who makes money off my stuff, initially yes, but in the long run .. but i do knowing who it came from. Because that is eternal, that, with your name attached to it ..

We don’t want collectivism either; thesis of socialism ..

the problem is that, the CB *yes, should be part of the state; the problem is that now it isn’t; it’s over it ..

lol that’s funny aliens wouldn’t invade ..unless you count them breaking thru/crossing over into realms – demonic is what it is, demons is what they are. Kinda funny the Fed would have that response to it since what happens in this world, like taxes ..it’s all controlled from the other; it’s just demons being puppeteers ..no, really. ..

Inflation the constant printing of money out of thin air; saturation of the money supply the Inflation is not going overseas; it still is tied to the dollar, face value of whose (country) it is.

I dig tax havens ..robbing of the populace like we saw in Cyprus; a nation’s financial health is directly correlated ..Try and find a system without a CB you can’t; b/c one necessitates the other; jealousy, this is what it feeds on

.. This has got nothing to do w/ money; it has got everything to do w/ pvcy ..my tax records are my own; pvt / intellectual property; they’re not for entertaining ..even Milton Friedman said we’d need more insider trading 🙂

Nature who’s in on Covid, NYT that’s really pro-Trump..yeah. Nice ..

dude, guys; missed the boat .. lol in 2020 I didn’t even know what yield farming (now am moving from trader to banker new career at 🙂 50? lol) was let alone NFTs ..did you know and go against yourself in that decision? If not, you didn’t miss out/on anything. …

😉 I can help w/ this; how did they get recipes, back then? Cutouts! You..don’t remember? None of you had a folder filled with .. *shakes head. Guys ..

Naval said smth really crucial/important/ may I build on that? NFTs are a lifestyle ..buy smth you like; believe in; becomes part of your identity ..

I think NFT technology is the future. NFT is not only very expensive eight-bit pictures, it is something more. This technology allows you to prove ownership, removes unnecessary intermediaries from the transaction and the history of all transactions is open and transparent. Undoubtedly, this will open up new opportunities for all mankind! So far, this is a completely new market and the rules of the game are being formed on the go.

interesting discussion and it’s always useful to have a balanced discussion and also see how things are really going out there in the wild west – https://web3isgoinggreat.com provides a sobering and realistic account of the state of web3. I liken web3 to google glass, kinda cool idea, overly complicated and no one really needs it. Virtual reality and micropayments are versions of hell no one actually ever asked for.
