episode notes
Five years ago, Ben Horowitz of tech investor Andreessen Horowitz bet Felix Salmon that 10% of Americans would be using Bitcoin to pay for something by now. The bet involved 100-year-old wine. Of course, Ben lost, but he's ready to double down on his new digital bet. He and partner Chris Dixon discuss the past and present of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and AI.
