Number Go Up! The mania of Crypto...

Curious Worldview Podcast
A charismatic mix of cerebral thinking with straight talking
This has stood out to me…
He’s a polarising fella, not everyones cup of tea. There are plenty of positions he holds close which I find ridiculous and exaggerated, but man… Tim Kennedy is a force.
I am in deep admiration of this guy. Forget the fact that he’s world class martial artist, fought in the UFC, has an ongoing career is US special forces. Tim is also a prolific businessman and still engaging himself in conflicts at personal risk.
He’s been on Joe Rogan and Jocko Willink plenty, but this episode in particular I recommend to you.
This is what I want you to engage with most…
The general consensus for Zeke’s book is that is that it’s the better half of Michael Lewis’s ‘Going Infinite’.
‘Number Go Up’ documents, first hand, from the Bahamas to Cambodia to El Salvador to the halls of power of US, the wild mania of crypto and the insanely eclectic, deranged and interesting characters that colour in those lines.
Zeke opens up for this episode of ‘A Curious Worldview Podcast’ unlike he has for a podcast before.
His answer to the role of serendipity in his life at the end is beautiful, his reflections of what is required for good journalism is amazing, and his documentation of crypto’s wild ride and its consequences is perfect.
There is plenty for everyone is this.
A bit of gossip about Michael Lewis (who authored the big short), Marc Andreeson and a16z’s role in the crypto bubble, the damage that crypto has caused. The incredible characters at the heart of tether, SBF, journalism and more.
This is a photo worth saving…
The undisputed GOAT.
Sebastiao Salgado is one of the deepest and most satisfying rabbit holes on the internet.
This photo is from his book, ‘Coffee’, and the mood, the edit, the scale of it all. Somehow Sebastiao finds this in all of his photography.
