EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of All-In Podcast, featuring Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya, E120: Banking crisis and the great VC reset explores Banking Turmoil, Fed Blunders, And The Great Venture Capital Reset The episode dissects the unfolding regional and global banking crisis following the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapse, arguing it stems primarily from rapid Fed rate hikes exposing duration mismatches and supervisory failures—not from panicky venture capitalists. The besties walk through a detailed timeline of bank failures, critique regulators, the Fed, and political spending, and explore how new Fed backstops effectively kick systemic risk one year down the road. They then pivot to the “great VC reset,” covering fund write-downs, fund-size cuts, and late‑stage pullbacks, while noting that lower valuations plus powerful AI and hard-tech waves may make current vintages more attractive than 2021. The show closes with a deep “science corner” on room‑temperature superconductors, their massive potential impact on energy, computing, and infrastructure, and the controversy around the latest high‑profile research claim.
