Nat Eliason | From Crypto To Copy: Exit Liquidity, Crypto Confidential & Writing Worthy Of Posterity

Nat Eliason is an absolute legend.  I’ve been subscribed to his newsletter, following his tweets, and listening to his interviews for what feels like years now. He’s a prolific online writer who recently published his debut book, a memoir of a crypto side quest he spiralled deep down into which is serves as revelatory for the sheer insanity that is crypto. It’s meme coins, making loads of money, losing it, secret discord servers, exit liquidity and all the rest that foreshadows the same stuff happening now.  Crypto is back in the news, and therefore so is Nat’s book - Crypto Confidential - which is a must read if you want to get a sense for, or contribute to, the mania. However, writing is Nat’s circulatory system, so we ended up speaking half about books and half about crypto. When you check out the episode, navigate the timestamps if you wanna skip the writing stuff and go straight to crypto. Before I leave you with Nat, he’s got this tremendous call to action on his Substack that I wanted to share here… “Among my strongest life goals is to write something worthy of outliving me” Subscribe To The Curious Worldview Newsletter Nat Eliason Substack ---- 00:00 - Who Is Nat Eliason? 01:08 - Serendipitous Anecdote 02:58 - CRYPTO: Crypto Mania 12:23 - Writing 18:05 - AI Helping Writers (Great Metaphor) 24:48 - Great Story Telling Less Great Writing 34:08 - Taleb"s Influence 41:08 - Book Publishing Market (VC Metaphor) 1:00:33 - CRYPTO: Crypto From All Sides.
