The Fountain #15: Crypto To Build New Cities, Naval Ravikant On Tech Innovation, And When Law Meets Innovation

Hola hola!!
In this week's newsletter, we're looking at the case of crypto to building new cities, a legal framework that allows for fast development, and Naval Ravikant's take on why the future is brighter for innovation.
🦄 Do We NEED Crypto To Build New Cities?
Crypto doesn't really solve the needs required to start a new city. Some of the problems that exist when building new cities are:
Political stability
Reputation building
Capital needs
Talent availability
Local employment
While crypto doesn't solve these problems, running on crypto significantly improves things, such as IP on the blockchain, mortgages, payments, and integrated arbitration with smart contracts!

A Fireside Chat at the AI & Technological Progress Conference with Naval Ravikant and Niklas Anzinger on why the future is brighter on longevity, AI, and technology advancements.
Takeaways:
It just takes one person to make a breakthrough for humanity.
Scientific theory and entrepreneurial tinkering build on each other.
Be optimistic on the general things and be skeptical about specific things → Broadly: remain open-minded & Narrowly: question everything.

🚀 Startups We'd Like To See To Build
To reach longevity escape velocity at scale, biotech & science progress isn't enough.
Incentives for healthcare delivery and science funding are broken.
Vitalia's focus is biotech, but we also need lots of non-biotech innovation as well!
