    What Hacker News says

    1. brandonhallDec 2017
      Just came out and published by McGraw-Hill. Cryptoassets by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar. It approaches crypto as an asset class and isn't very technical. Very much written for fund managers and active investors. Highly recommended.

      > When I switched to this new upstart called Google it wasn't mainstream.

      It was in schools by that time. Youngsters could well embrace crypto long before the rest of the normies. I would have loved it when I was a kid. Anyone got kidos who grind crypto?

      If you're reading the nytimes for crypto, then you're behind the curve. Bigly. Digital coins. Fucking morons.

      & if you're reading the nytimes for crypto investment advice, then you're probably exposing yourself to risk with limited upside. Find someone who is investing in this shit full-time & give your money to them. Even tech VCs invest in crypto hedge funds. Polychain Capital is an example. Olaf Carlson-Wee (who runs it) was on the cover of Forbes recently (I believe ). They're the type of ppl you want investing for you. You could also bing Ari David Paul &/or Chris Burniske. The former is opening a fund. The latter will probably open a fund after his book 'Cryptoassets' is released (I think that's the play).
