Chris Dixon, head partner at a16z, justifying why Yuga Labs is worth $4B with a bunch of absolute nonsense involving “decentralized content creation. Those who regularly tune in to Decoder are aware that people have a healthy amount of skepticism towards crypto. However, in order to arrive at an objective basis for this pessimism, we have been talking to individuals who are actively investing in and developing crypto companies and technology.
In general, it is necessary to ask the questions and actually listen to the answers because there is a lot of money, focus, and energy — both literally and metaphorically — in the crypto space. There are a number of these episodes at this point, but the conversation that will take place in this episode is one that is important from the very beginning.
Andreessen Horowitz, also known as a16z, is a venerable Silicon Valley venture capital firm, and Chris Dixon is the partner in charge of crypto investing there. He is in charge of directing investment rounds for a number of startups, including Coinbase, which went public in the past year or so, the NFT marketplace OpenSea, and Yuga Labs, which is the company that is behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club, amongst others.
In addition to this, Chris Dixon is an active user of Twitter, where he frequently contributes to extensive discussions concerning cryptocurrencies and Web3. He is both one of the most significant investors in the space industry and its most significant supporter. Chris Dixon is a sharp individual who has worked in this sector for a significant amount of time and has witnessed the rise and fall of a great deal of technological hype.
This episode welcomes Chris since he is considered a smart guy in the industry. This episode goes into a lot of detail and it was important to include all of that detail since passionate but civilized debate is in short supply these days. In any event, it’s a good one, and regardless of whatever side of the crypto debate you’re on, you’ll discover something here that you hadn’t considered in the past no matter what you think about cryptocurrencies.
Thanks for having me.
