.@antonio, it took me half an hour of my European sun-sitting and cappuccino-enjoying time to create this info graphic, so I expect an apology for spreading misinformation https://i.imgur.com/4hoGyyw.png

Except that’s not the relevant stat. It’s average age

Yeah, my graphic hides the fact that the European population pyramid is top heavy (that was intentional). But anyways, these data suggest that our active labor force is significantly bigger than that of the US. But sure Dan, you can zeihan-forecast that there'll be a demographic collapse soon, please go ahead 😆

Since Spotify, what’s the most interesting thing that’s come out of Europe. Note: plenty of interesting things from Europeans living / working in the US Europeans are great; EU is sclerotic cf. GPT

I'd say Ethereum - IIRC it was primarily developed in Europe. But despite some other notable projects like Revolut or UIPath, I agree that theres not too much going on in European tech, partly because of the different PE market structure.

I’d be curious if @vitalik.eth thinks that’s the case. Would be a strong example for me to update my priors!

The biggest Ethereum core development hub early on was Berlin. It might still be, actually!

I'd say crypto is unique compared to other industries though. There's an intentional ideological component to resisting siliconvalleyification, as well as heavy use of remote work (not entirely a separate factor!), and institutions such as the conference circuit that make location independence work better for people.
