Balaji Srinivasan, ex-CTO of Coinbase, warns that Silicon Valley could collapse within a decade due to political pressures, including California's proposed billionaire tax. He argues that crypto-native networks and Chinese tech companies will succeed Silicon Valley as they are more resilient to political risks. Srinivasan views crypto protocols as decentralized 'mammals' that will outlast the 'dinosaur' Silicon Valley monopoly on technology.
