Dialectic with Jackson Dahl

Ep. 9 of /dialectic w @jacob is live.

Jacob is co-founder & CEO of /zora, a platform that allows anyone to tokenize media. He's spent his career thinking about how blockchains, tokens, markets, and ideas enable internet-native coordination.

They're building on Stewart Brand's premise that "information wants to be free, but it also wants to be expensive.” In an internet era where content is abundant and effectively free, it is also expensive to consume and create—not by way of money, but time.

We discuss a world where markets around attention and content allow better coordination around what information is worth our time.

We also discuss why memes are so powerful, speculation vs. gambling, reflections on popular crypto ideas and Zora's history, Coinbase and co-creating USDC, and many other topics that showcase Jacob's generative creativity, unique ways of thinking, and inspirations.
