What scene? He was never really part of the crypto scene, it was all an act and trust is gone there. Maybe he’ll stay in the political scene or media scene or something, prob depends on legal situation

What are the most interesting projects related to zero-knowledge proofs?

It might accelerate our pace of investing a bit. Closed a $130M fund last year and had been waiting for all the bullshit to get flushed out before aggressively deploying

I’d still take my first full year in Bitcoin, 2013 but it’s close!

Might this be the wildest year in crypto yet? 😅

Where do you think we are in the adoption lifecycle for crypto relative to the internet? 60s, 90s, 2000s?

what's your best guess for what you think will drive the next cycle?
