Key ideas from Cory Levy

• "It's easier to start a new city than reform San Francisco, and may even be easier to start new countries than to reform America" - Corey
• Gold has doubled against the dollar in two years while Bitcoin quadrupled, meaning the dollar dropped 50% against gold and 75% against digital gold
• Network School has brought people from more than 100 countries to create a physical manifestation of cloud communities in just one year
• "The next rules based order is the code based order" - smart contracts and Bitcoin provide cryptographic trust without human intermediaries
• US passport has dropped out of the top ten globally due to reciprocity rules as American identity and currency simultaneously devalue
• "Political risk is regulatory risk" - talent should consider platform risk when choosing where to build, just like choosing iOS over BlackBerry
• Reserve ratio was set to zero in 2020, making US banking "fictional reserve banking" rather than fractional reserve banking
• The Internet is to America as America was to the UK - a version 3.0 evolution from common law to constitution to smart contracts
