Jon Wu is head of growth at Aztec, a privacy preserving Layer 2 for Ethereum that took home an impressive Series B last year, led by A16Z. As arguably the public face of Aztec for the past several years Jon speaks and writes some of the most consistently cogent content on everything from encryption and privacy to DeFi and finance to civil liberties and the future of open societies. He's never boring, and you'd never regret being 20 tweets into any X thread that he's written. Here, we compare crypto to casinos and what casinos do right versus what crypto does wrong, examine the multi-hundred year bet Apple made on trust, and understand cryptographic privacy as an insurance policy against volatile times when things don't "just work" as expected.
