Blockchain Technology: Painkiller or Vitamin for Venture Capital?
This chapter explores the role of blockchain technology as a 'painkiller' or a 'vitamin' in the realm of venture capital investments, citing examples like Stripe's B2B payments. It covers the shift from speculative web three to practical, painkiller-focused applications in the crypto space, discussing avenues for widespread adoption through decentralized compute, B2B payments, cross-border transactions, and decentralized social platforms. The conversation also delves into regulatory challenges, the potential for big tech firms like Facebook to adopt blockchain, and the transformative impact of decentralized finance (DeFi) in reshaping the financial landscape.
