tl;dr: The paradigm shift to a decentralized world will play out over decades, not months. The mistake I made in the Web 1.0 era (the late 90s) and Web 2.0 era (2000s) was in thinking that the changes that would happen as a result of the arrival of e...

The Smoothness of Switzerland

tl;dr: everything just works. A model for respect of time. I’ve called Switzerland the “Disneyland at country scale.” And there’s something surreal about the country and its immaculate treatment of, well, everything. There are many things to admire a...

One of the things that I love about traveling is that it forces you to work on your adaptation skills. My flight plan to Bulgaria was originally quite simple. Go to Munich, transfer, then go to Sofia. After 4 hours of delays, the plan evolved to: go...
