Nic Carter, general partner at Castle Island Ventures, joins Karol Markowicz to discuss artificial intelligence, the future of work, Bitcoin and crypto, venture capital, Operation Choke Point 2.0 and why he believes money and businesses will increasingly flee blue states for red states.

Carter explains his unconventional journey from aspiring journalist to becoming obsessed with Bitcoin, working at Fidelity and ultimately co-founding a venture capital firm focused on blockchain, crypto and financial technology.

With AI rapidly transforming white-collar work, what should young people do to prepare? Carter explains why his old advice — prove yourself by writing something great — no longer works the way it once did. Instead, he argues that becoming highly skilled at using AI could provide a major career advantage, while warning that people shouldn't allow artificial intelligence to replace their own critical thinking and cognitive skills.

Carter also tells the story behind Operation Choke Point 2.0, the term he coined while investigating what he describes as the Biden administration's debanking of legal crypto companies. His reporting eventually became part of the national political conversation and was embraced by Donald Trump.

Finally, Carter makes a major five-year prediction: capital, businesses and productive workers will increasingly migrate from blue states to red states such as Florida and Texas. He explains why taxes, regulation and potential wealth taxes could accelerate that shift — and why once powerful economic network effects begin to break, the exodus could happen quickly.

Plus, Carter shares why personal relationships will remain valuable in an AI-driven economy, how X helped build his career and professional network, and his advice for avoiding lifestyle inflation and the pressure to impress other successful people.
