Internet culture is culture. Everyone is online and spending most of their lives there. You can even argue the metaverse has been here, not just with obvious examples, like World of Warcraft and Fortnight, but even Instagram. There are people already buying assets, they're buying the Louis Vuitton purse, to take a photo of to impress a bunch of digital people with their digital asset, which just happens to be a photo of them wearing the purse, that 99.999% of people will never actually see them with. So, the metaverse is here; it's just not evenly distributed.

One in four American women are back to work two weeks after giving birth... About a third of babies are born via c-section now, so you've got a material number of women who are coming back to work two weeks after giving birth, who still have wounds, and are still recovering from significant surgery.

I think everyone or a material number of people are going to participate in a DAO over the next 5 years. They won't know it; they don't need to know what it's called. Remember, the average person doesn't know what a hypertext transfer protocol is. They don't need to ... We should be thinking about NFTs the same way; we should be thinking about DAOs the same way ... The average person only cares about user experience.

To be able to actually create massive business impact has nothing to do with the ability to post hustle porn memes on social media... That does not advance your business, and instead, it promotes a really toxic idea that working yourself to death, sacrificing your emotional and physical health, all those things, it promotes this falsity that those are actually good.

Having dads take paternity leave is not just better for the health of the child, but also for the health of the birthing mother, both physically and emotionally

Social media as we know it... is probably going to look like a weird transition. I think, in the grand scheme of the Internet, it's actually going to look like a blip, because it becomes an intelligence test once you provide ownership as to why you would ever want to participate in a scheme where you don't actually own the things that you produce.

I believe, wholeheartedly, the online identity, the digital identity, which will more often than not be pseudonymous, is going to be more valuable to more people than their government name.

Web2 is going to look like a blip. The stuff we were doing, the stuff that we cared about, is going to seem like this weird, you know, ugly middle... compared to what is happening now.

You are way better off lending money or investing in women in these communities all over the world. Doesn't matter; when you normalize across different countries or regions, cultures, does not matter. Give money to women, because when you do, let's say they're going to start a business or what have you, the gains from that don't just get reinvested in the business, they get reinvested in their families and their communities.

Almost half of women don't return to the workforce after they have a baby, and that's a ton of talent that's being squandered

Your tech stack, at the end of the day, doesn't really matter unless it affects the user experience, which, again, is the thing people actually care about.

It's never been a better time to be starting from zero because the expectations of your community are so low, and because where it can go from here is so much greater.

Founders have more leverage than they realize, even at the earliest stages, and certainly as their company starts showing traction. But if you're a hot deal, you actually have a lot of power over investors. I think founders are waking up to that and starting to set a higher standard, and also demanding more from the people they take money from.

I'm most excited about ETH. My largest personal position is in Ethereum still.

I probably have 10% of my net worth worth in crypto right now.

We went through a lot during the founding of Reddit. I regret not working with a therapist sooner. I regret not working with a coach sooner. I regret spending years eating garbage food.

The CEO role of the future is just as much a head of state as it is a business leader.

The idea that web2 was read and write and now we've moved to web3, which is read and write and own, is really meaningful.

I know you know at the end of the day, user experience is what wins.

We proved in web2 that this stuff works. And now, by adding real ownership into it, it's changing lives.
