“Even if you put all your money into gold coins and silver chests and hide it in some forgotten corner of the planet… when the world does come to an end, there will be nothing left to buy and to sell and probably some humans or robots or something else will have come along and taken your gold away from you,” he told a laughing audience.
Operating under the notion that the bad versions of the singularity are things that one simply cannot invest in at all, Thiel said that, in some sense, if you believe in something like this, you have no choice but to bet on it as an investor. And what will those investments be? Well, according to Thiel, the best investments will be the ones that represent the most aggressive bets on the singularity. In fact, we may already be seeing such bets.
