Nassim Taleb saw that the financial system was way too complex for any one to understand. He succeeded as a trader by learning how to deal with uncertainty.

His work (check out all of Nassim's books on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Nassim-Nicholas-Taleb/e/B000APVZ7W/ref=dbs_p_pbk_rwt_abau)is quite popular within the bitcoin community. Joey and I thought it would be worthwhile to look at some of his ideas through lens of Bitcoin:

- the Turkey problem
- Risk taking and iterative action
- Mediocristan vs extremistan
- Fat Tails and asymmetries
- IYIs
- Dr. John and Fat Tony
- Lindy effect
- Antifragility
- Learn by doing and iterating
