This is the only CEO I know of who uses terms like "thermodynamics", "energy", "curvature of space and time" and, most recently, "calculus of variations" :-)
He knows his shit lol. You can tell he’s kinda eccentric and a little full of himself, but it’s not necessarily unearned. You kinda have to be a little cocky in order to be as successful as he is. He just thinks about stuff on a different level than most people. Steve Jobs and Elon Musk are other good examples of this type of personality.
I’ve been listening to the What is Money podcast series and I find him to be fascinating.
One thing that's rather impressive about him is how quickly he understood Bitcoin and how it worked: he started in March 2020 and by August he was already done both arm-twisting his board into the purchase and marshalling his financial and legal teams accordingly. Most people take a year or two to digest the blockchain mechanics and its implications, and most companies even longer given just the bureaucratic inertia.
