Too Long; Didn't Read

Founder of Rap Genius and Everipedia says there are no good tech startups in NYC. He says the companies were started in NYC — the fakest tech city in the U.S. - whereas Everipedia was started in LA. Crypto will bring Silicon Valley to its knees, with LA becoming the more dominant crypto-powerhouse, he says. The biggest hit of all time is Tumblr, which is an underwhelming piece of shit where the hipster CEO took his billion dollars and throws lots of cocaine parties now.
