Excellent!
"So, importantly: you don’t have to fight a war to start a new company.
You don’t have to kill the former CEO in a duel. So a very important
meta-concept is to create peaceful ways to exit and start new countries.
So, you know, two of the founders of Paypal: Peter Thiel is into
seasteading; Elon Musk wants to build a Mars colony. And you can scale
it back too: even on Hacker News, just recently, within the realm of
someone on startup number 1 or startup number 2, these guys just went
and bought a private island. It’s random, it’s in the middle of Canada,
it’s freezing cold, there’s sticks over there, it doesn’t exactly look
like Oahu… but the best part is this: the people who think this is
weird, the people who sneer at the frontier, who hate technology—they
won’t follow you out there. That’s the thing about exit is: you can take
as much or as little of it as you want."

I found these two fireside chats to be quite informative. It's interesting to see the differences in perspective between these tech giants who are pouring millions of dollars into Bitcoin, via VC investing in infrastructure or via investing directly in the
cryptocurrency.
