“This brings us to the two really important things I’ve learned about being both an entrepreneur and investor. Life and adoption curves do not take place on a linear scale, and major trends are like tsunamis, they don’t stop for roadblocks. It is inevitable that a crypto-currency takes the place of government backed or commodity backed currency. It is the natural evolution of money onto the internet. Less friction, more anonymity, a free flow of value around the world. This will happen no matter how many roadblocks you place in front of it, just as the sharing of most of our assets in order to increase capacity utilization will happen as well. It is the path of least resistance.”
