Peter Thiel on Technology, Crypto, AI, and more

Insights March 19th, 2018

Peter Thiel, PayPal founder and former CEO, speaks frankly and openly on a number of subjects with CNBC at the Economic Club of New York in March 2018.
In typically calm, conservative, contrarian, and decisive form he covers a number of interesting areas?

  • The megacity exodus trend for tech investors and those building the world’s leading new companies.
  • Why coffee shop ecosystems – important in gestating new ideas – are disappearing in San Francisco and Manhatten
  • Why he is moving his company to Los Angeles to gain a new perspective.
  • How Peter Navarro has sold 1 million copies of his book “Zero To One” in China vs. 40,000 in India – and why this is important
  • And, why A.I. is a good idea, but not as charismatic and transcendent as Bitcoin is.
