Episode notes
Long-Term Fiat Devaluation Thesis
- Money printing and fiat devaluation are likely to continue influencing asset allocation for years.
- Hold scarce assets and minimize cash to hedge persistent monetary devaluation.
Funding Inefficiency In Science
- Scientific funding has been centralized and inefficient, funneling most dollars to overhead instead of researchers.
- Tokenized, decentralized funding can reduce overhead and direct capital to scientists faster.
Tokenize IP Through Use Cases
- Move intellectual property on-chain through use-case driven tokenization rather than abstract standards.
- Combine IP tokenization with capital formation to fund development and commercialize assets.
