Joe Lonsdale on Hiring

To be clear I am PRO CRYPTO. I own BTC and some of these. And I agree the SEC has been terrible, and that we should support the sector with clear laws and precedent. But to me, that doesn’t include government money buying in! Not the proper, principled role of government.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Turn shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Turn
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic, punchy
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
