What’s one big idea in crypto that everyone is missing? Time to dig in: Introducing Mined with CoinFund. Mined is a weekly show that explores the unearthed narratives within the crypto space. There’s so much noise across the echo chamber of crypto culture. What’s something people aren’t talking enough about? At CoinFund, we pride ourselves on being early with precision. As a team of early stage investors and operators, our business is built on idea-spotting: catching a glimmer of one intriguing idea that could become a market-shaping opportunity. Mining is a cryptographic process, but in the physical world, it is digging through boulders to find gems. We aim to uncover unpopular truths and unspoken perspectives that deserve to be debated. In our first episode, CoinFund CEO Jake Brukhman and Head of Venture Investments David Pakman speak with Chief Experience Officer at Ledger ian rogers about how inconsistency in wallet security is one of the biggest blockers of crypto adoption. Make sure you subscribe to Mined on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Youtube, and leave us some feedback on the first episode. Let’s kick this show off! #coinfund #mined #podcast https://lnkd.in/dJs5r8iS

“AI is as significant as the invention of fire in the history of our species,” said Bagel 🥯 Network founder Bidhan R. at EthCC last week. “Do you want fire to be owned by one company?

CoinFund reposted this
The future of tech platforms is evolving to be thinner and less opinionated. Check out my latest op-ed to explore how blockchain infrastructure is leading this transformation at the expense of Big Tech. The advantages include 1) lighter-touch role to service devs without overreaching, 2) benefits clear in the user value proposition and 3) regaining power to defy exploitative Web 2.0 practices, operating systems, AI and app store constraints.

“The existential threat to blockchain is that without a well organized and a strategic global marketing strategy, we will build it and no one will come” writes CoinFund CIO Alex Felix in CoinDesk. “However, if we enlist a distribution partner who brings enough scale to make it lucrative to build Web3 apps, developers will start testing fun things that may unlock a big enough prize to justify the risks of building for an app store that doesn’t yet exist.” Read his full article in CoinDesk to learn more about web3’s distribution power over Big Tech: https://lnkd.in/gJ7MyMyR
