Memorable Quotes from the show:
[00:04:37] "...When you open the book, the first thing you see is not financial advice. I am not a CFA. I'm on a talent. I have no mechanism to understand your personal financial situation. My goal, which I say in the book, is to transfer my way of thinking to like a book so that you can understand how I think about this stuff in a sort of economics and finance so that you can make an intelligent decision of like what percent of my investment portfolio should they allocate to this crazy bitcoin nonsense."
