@roderick_c Np man - enjoyed the talk. It reminded of a book I read back in 2016 called “Play Bigger” where they talked about Category Design. I agreed with your points 100%: first mover in a new category is a massive marketing win in terms of optics.

#FUTURIST18 | Spanos | A quote from his father: “To become a beast you must eat beasts” [sic]. Again, positioning Bitcoin and Crypto as the spear to fight against the spear that is the Federal Reserve. Truly impassioned in his expression of this message.

#FUTURIST18 | Spanos | Expresses a personal trajectory that is largely libertarian, supporting campaigns like Ron Paul. All of these experiences led him to discovering Bitcoin, which he saw as the first true weapon against the Federal Reserve.

#FUTURIST18 | Spanos | Starts off with a core message that innovation is permissionless, using the Wright Brothers as his guiding metaphor. Then dives a bit into his personal history, emphasizing the importance of resiliency during the ups-and-downs of life and business.
