I'm still really fascinated/confused by Tobi's demonstrated obsession with crypto/nft/web3. He's obviously not in it to get rich because he's already rich, and he actually has a presumably deep understanding of technology (unlike most of the crypto fanatics), so all I can imagine is that he really must be caught up in the philosophical/cultural trappings of it.
- Biganon 5y ago> He's obviously not in it to get rich because he's already rich Er... gestures broadly at rich people
- shafyy 5y agoYes, I also don't get it. Shopify is even doing this weird NFT thing with Doodle (or whatever that is called). The whole SXSW show looked like something out of of a birthday of a rich teenager. It made me lose some respect for Tobi and Shopify.

- Zpalmtree 5y agoHe has a deep understanding of the technology so wouldn't be interested in crypto why? There are lots of builders constantly creating things in the web3 space. Maybe you should re-examine your opinion of crypto if you see smart people involved and can't understand why they would be interested
- lottin 5y agoWe tend to assume that people who are successful are also very smart, and this is often not the case.
- TimJRobinson 5y agoCaus it's fun? Hacking on DeFi products feels like hacking on websites in the 90s, or I assume hacking on PCs in the 80s. There's a lot of cool stuff yet to be built and you get the freedom to build and launch anything you like and have it be used by millions of people overnight.
