In my discord (link below) I got asked this question:

Dave, you obviously were early to the internet. Then early again with crypto. How did you know these were going to be big things? Maybe you can do a video telling us the story on how you discovered the internet and get involved in it. And the same with crypto.

When it comes to spotting trends, it's important to have an overall philosophy.

The one philosophy that has paid me dividends has been, if there are two competing systems, the more decentralised one will usually grow faster and be adopted more.

I don't try to make predictions. Instead I look for evidence.

When I got on the internet, I looked for the store that had the most sales.

Usually you can tell how good something is by how successfully it launches.

I pay attention to growth rate and then project if this rate of growth would continue.
