I agree with your comment, but just a minor point: has Thiel made it clear that his bunker is to protect against potential AGI threats? I thought it's insurance for nuclear warfare.

Congrats Drew!

One of the highlights of my MIT experience was going to your ~yearly tech talks that you did at the beginning of the fall semester. I’m excited to see Dropbox continue to grow as a company. :)

To be fair to the previous commenter, they did not explicitly propose cryptocurrency as a solution; they're just asking a question. Also, cryptocurrency != blockchain technology.

That said, I do agree with your sentiment that the blockchain-as-a-solution space is getting a bit ridiculous. I can't imagine a way to translate this problem into a smart-contract-solvable form.

I'm not a native NYer, but when I have been there this has not been the case. FWIW, everything that the original commenter mentioned is true of Boston and the Bay Area in my experience.
