Searching for Mana with Lloyd Wahed

Blockchain investing: what you need to know | Andrea Bonaceto, Eterna Capital

Jan 12, 2021
44:51

Eterna Capital Partner Andrea Bonaceto joins Lloyd to talk about blockchain investing.

Since launching in 2018, Eterna has provided seed and early-stage funding to blockchain innovators like Algorand, Borderless Capital, DFINITY and more. Forbes has named it one of the top three boundary pushing blockchain investing firms, and Andrea has been named to the publication’s Top 30 Under 30 list.

In their conversation, Andrea and Lloyd wonder whether blockchain will have the same revolutionary impact as the internet, identify the key trends that will shape the sector’s development and question how it will drive adoption of central bank digital currencies. Plus, Andrea outlines the industry's biggest  hotspots and tells us why community-building is essential for blockchain investing firms.
