He's smart but he doesn't sound like an engineer at this point in his life/career. He sounds like a wealthy person who reads a wide variety of books/tweets and has range of smart but shallow talking points combined with a good deal of practiced hand waving. Chris Dixon sounds exactly like him. I wonder if Marc has written more than a 'hello, world' in the past 5-10 years. He's probably better versed in modern art and finance than he is in computer science or engineering these days.

Why would he need to be an engineer to be successful in tech? Steve Jobs wasn’t.

If a large group of people want crypto it will exist regardless of the engineering merits.

Steve Jobs designed (like product requirements, not technical details) and sold products people loved, for decades. He didn't just make handwavy sales pitches.
