  1. Totally agreed with Sacks on Ukraine-Russia War issue. The problem about americans is that they are double-standard, and Sack is one of the few that could think clearly without bias

  2. Sachs is incredibly thorough and rational with his explanations and JCal pulls the same media headline catch phrases “Putins a maniac dictator and he must be stopped” that gets nothing done and ignores his demands that could quickly end this conflict. His pride and hubris come before rational thought.

  3. I think when you guys talk about the war it is an over site not to talk about the expansive undeveloped oil fields in Ukraine and the location of Ukraine oil and Russia oil supply lines. I def think it is worth mentioning that Ukraine supplying oil to Europe is a existential threat to Russia's economy. Look at the other Ex Soviet countries who have oil and what Russia does to guarantee they are not able to supply oil to Europe. NATO could be def an issue but I think the oil play in Ukraine is def in the head of Putin too.

  4. Wow such a distaste for the audience 👏 true colors are shining. How the divide starts with your thoughts, then your words, and then your actions. Bring us together, D.sax for president 🙌

  5. Sacks the moral relativist, china or russia making deals is not the same as nato, those countries are dictatorships with unfree citizens, the threat from them is infinitely greater to us than ukraine joining nato is to russia

  6. Everyone who lost money in crypto deserved to lose said money. Chamath needs to stop pretending to be the big guy fighting for the little guy meanwhile he milks you with shit spacs…disgusting.

  7. Zen going out at the top to start something more fun for the founders in an uncertain time

    We need more of this consolidation as the market bounces at the bottom for who knows how long

  8. A lot of stocks down 90+% that never offered really anything but possibility of increasing in value (No dividends). So I really dont see difference between traditional and crypto. Retail market just has an insatiable appetite for risk.

    "They were buying them to see them appreciate and flip them" – JCal
    Yeah… just like tech stocks that dont pay dividends. What does that stock do but hopefully promise it appreciates? Should we delist HOOD?

  9. Crypto is monetary energy running at a digital velocity. Human nature expressed at the speed of light. Archegos, Lehman, and tulip style collapses were inevitable.
