Intro

We went live with Figment Capital’s Jim Parillo and Dougie DeLuca, as well as Theia’s Noah Goldberg, to discuss Dougie’s “Crypto Is Dead” piece. We examined the shift from building for crypto natives to broader adoption, challenges in sales and BD across crypto, infrastructure versus application-layer investing, monetization models for blockchains, and governance issues in crypto.

Thanks for tuning in!
