Fat Protocols sparked a revolution when it was first published in 2016. It’s absolutely essential reading for everyone in the industry. This panel brings together three leading GPs in crypto to reexamine the thesis and challenge its long-term viability two years after it was first proposed. This panel features Kyle Samani of Multicoin Capital; Joey Krug, the Co-CIO of Pantera Capital (and the co-founder of Augur, a decentralized prediction market platform); and Jesse Walden, a Partner at a16zcrypto.

The role of crypto investors is evolving—rapidly. Blockchain technologies will create trillions of dollars of value over the next decade. But investing in tokens is fundamentally different than investing in companies. New tools, heuristics, and security measures are required to responsibly invest in this ecosystem.

In this fireside chat Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures and Tushar Jain of Multicoin Capital explore the ins and outs of modern portfolio construction for allocators and fund managers alike, traversing key issues such as how to think about long-term vs. short-term conviction, thematic discovery, strategic exposure, how to pick winners, and (VCs) investing in cryptofunds, to name a few.

James Prestwich of Summa, Ali Yahya of Andreessen Horrowitz, and Zaki Manian of Cosmos discuss the types of trade offs that various smart contract platforms are making, and the implications of usability and dapp development.

Ryan Selkis of Messari and Kyle Samani of Multicoin Capital discuss the ways by which some crypto assets may become worth tens of trillions of dollars.

Vinny Lingham of Civic, Matt Luongo of Keep, Yaniv Tal of The Graph, and Nadav Hollander of Dharma discuss the challenges of developing dapps today, and their expectations for dapp development moving forwards.

Kyle and I recently joined Patrick O’Shaughnessy on the Invest Like the Best podcast. Patrick is a great interviewer who approaches this space with a skeptical investor's mindset.  I highly recommend this episode if you are interested in learning more about the different viewpoints in crypto investing. We had a wide ranging conversation on topics including: Paths to Tens of Trillions: Store of Value or Utility Hypothesis? Moneyness as an emergent phenomenon The new design space enabled by smart contract platforms Network effects of peer-to-peer digital cash vs. digital gold The n-dimensional tradeoff space of various platforms Challenges of investing in open-source protocols Opportunities for the tokenization of securities
