This Tony Hseih is crazy brilliant. Daughter tells me there are people who take the Zappos tour just to steal a clue about what he might be thinking about. Hsieh groupies.
The passage below requires at bit of explanation for those not in Vegas
In a shocking turn of events Zappos has announced all downtown establishments will begin to accept bitcoin as its only form of payment, causing customers and employees to flock to downtown Las Vegas hoping to cash in on their returns.
Hseih seems to posses some utopian vision. He started the Downtown Project. For example, he bought the Golden Spike and developed housing above it. The units share a "community kitchen". Inhabitants must use a common/shared kitchen so that you must get to know your neighbor and develop a sense of community.
Hseih and the Downtown project have opened bars and businesses downtown. These are the Bitcoin only purchases referenced.
He started a car sharing business called Swift. Kinda self explanatory. Utopian shit.
The Zappos building is filled with egghead misfits. They come to work in pajamas and dreadlocks. Flex hours and crazy benefits. Like a cult they all worship this guy as a god. He can do no wrong.
My daughter, especially since she is so young, is one of those who will take a Bitcoin paycheck cause Tony Hseih thinks it's a good idea. Thus, the debate at dinner.
Lol, daughter came home with dreadlocks. I kid you not.
