Quotes by Laura Shin (?)

“Retirement meant that you were spending the money you had saved up, independence meant that all you were spending was just the interest on your money,” Vitalik wrote. “It was as if your contribution to society were complete, and you had fulfilled your debt to this world and could now peacefully live off the proceeds of your work until the end of time.”
― Laura Shin, The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze

“Whether or not he actually was on the autism spectrum, everyone saw he couldn’t read social cues or body language or between the lines—even when someone was taking advantage of him. Vitalik was more honest and pure than the others. If someone said something to him, it wouldn’t occur to him that that person was lying. This gave others an opportunity to push their own agendas forward. Some observers felt Vitalik had no idea what was really happening.”
