> His advice for us: lean into what the nerds are doing<p>Wait, so I thought surely this would be "us" at least in some broad way, but also:<p>> He borrows against the NFT in U.S. dollars, then uses the capital as a lender in a riskier, higher-interest DeFi transaction (I.E. the 20% UST yield we showed you on Friday).<p>OK he would be eaten alive in most tech communities if he even threw this idea out there.<p>The contingency-planner nerds would start talking about 2008 while they look around for a flat surface to lay on, and the more analytical nerds would probably ask if he even knows how much money he really needs to get by.<p>It's like, lean into what the nerds are doing, but not _those_ nerds. You'd need to filter for the ones who are worried about not being risky enough & cutting-edge enough.
