The one that I always remember is how they shilled for Solana immediately before it crashed hard. (I have never had any position in any crypto)

I feel like their show has an implicit subtext where you’re expected to understand when they are lying. You get to feel smart by recognizing when they’re just talking their book.

The tricky question is whether there is any value in the podcast besides understanding their book.

They are standard VCs who constantly hype the latest fads. I remember when the Apple Vision Pro was going to change the world overnight, according to All-In. Currently jcal loves to talk about forcing all his employees to use chatgpt as their default search engine. I'd be willing to bet that won't be the case anymore in 6 months. Still, I listen to them regularly because now and then I learn something genuinely useful.

What is something useful you have learned? It has been ages since I listened, but I stopped because I felt like I wasn't gaining any insight from it. Maybe I'm missing out now?
