During this talk, I dunked on Egypt's currency as my primary negative example of Broken Money multiple times. And then during the Q&A, since this was Princeton, one audience member of course was like, "yeah, I was the former minister of finance in Egypt." Imagine a movie where the main character is like, "freeze frame, rewind, how did we get here?" That was kind of my thought at the moment. But he was cool. He ran finance for a two-year period during a benign environment. He wasn't the source of the issue, fully understood the issue of course, he asked good questions, and we talked afterward. But it was still one of my favorite "holy shit" moments in presentation history. nostr:note17jka2z9fax49sjmqvsaghywa2z88s2dl5g2j03amanrmssgy3cysqv68dm
