- agumonkey 5y agoa few videos of him chatting with "investors" are on youtube et al he seems also a bit into the transhumanist narrative
- trevyn 5y agoCan you share a couple of the better links?
- agumonkey 5y agoI forgot which one I saw but it's in there https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jack+dorsey+elon+musk https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jack+dorsey+elo... somewhere it's interesting to hear them chat but don't expect deep stuff, it's rich people having fun about markets and futures
- adh636 5y agoI don't know him personally so I could certainly be mistaken, but from listening to him speak/write and based on his charitable giving I don't get the impression at all that Jack is motivated by riches. I think he is genuinely interested in Bitcoin as a tool for advancing humanity. I also don't get the impression he is interested in 'crypto'. I guess it remains to be seen though.
- blocked_again 5y agoYeah. I think apart from that he knows how painful is to work with the current payment systems given the trouble they had to go through to get credit card companies work initially with Square to give their card readers for small businesses.
- baby 5y agoI wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason why FB investigated cryptocurrencies as well, they had/have so much trouble getting payment features approved in different countries.
- tshaddox 5y agoEven if it’s not about personal riches, I think it’s pretty clear that he’s motivated by scale of impact, which for any for-profit company would likely be strongly correlated with “riches.”
- dheera 5y ago> based on his charitable giving I don't get the impression at all that Jack is motivated by riches. Well, if you have more riches, you can do more charitable giving, so I don't see why he would not be motivated by the possibility of more riches.
