CoinFund's Jake Brukhman and Multicoin's Tushar Jain on Generalized Mining - Ep.92

Published: Nov. 13, 2018, 8:30 a.m.

b"Jake Brukhman of CoinFund and Tushar Jain of Multicoin Capital discuss a new trend among crypto funds: generalized mining, also called mining 2.0, in which investors participate in the networks in order to seed activity on them. For instance, an investor might offer disk space on a file storage network or provide capital on a decentralized lending network. They explain why it makes more sense to do this in the early days of a network than when it's matured, whether this will lead away from a peer-to-peer vision for crypto toward more professionalization and how this affects the basic premise of the fat protocols thesis. We also discuss how this impacts how crypto funds hire, do their accounting and reporting and structure their LP agreements.\\n Thank you to our sponsors!\\n Abra: Click this special link for a free $25 in Bitcoin! https://www.abra.com/unchained\\n Altlending: https://altlending.com\\n WeTrust: WeTrust: Donate in crypto and have your donation matched by WeTrust through Giving Tuesday, November 27! http://wetrust.io/unchained\\n Episode links:\\n Jake Brukhman: https://twitter.com/jbrukh?lang=en\\n CoinFund: https://coinfund.io\\n Tushar Jain: https://twitter.com/TusharJain_\\n Multicoin Capital: https://multicoin.capital\\n Jake's post on crypto borrowing: https://blog.coinfund.io/crypto-borrowing-and-staking-networks-e7d2d64a81a4\\n Tushar's post on generalized mining: https://multicoin.capital/2018/10/23/the-evolving-role-of-crypto-investors/\\n Jake on LivePeer as a case study: https://blog.coinfund.io/livepeer-cryptoeconomics-as-a-case-study-of-active-participation-in-decentralized-networks-19a932415e0e\\n Unchained episode with MakerDAO: http://unchainedpodcast.co/why-its-so-hard-to-keep-stablecoins-stable\\n Unconfirmed episode with Rune Christensen of MakerDAO: http://unconfirmed.libsyn.com/rune-christensen-of-makerdao-on-its-15-million-from-andreessen-horowitz-ep039\\n Initial witness offerings, by Jake's partner Alexsandr Bulkin: https://blog.coinfund.io/iwos-with-adapt-a-creative-technological-solution-to-a-regulatory-problem-513b0bc811ff\\n Jake's post on fat protocols not being an investment thesis: https://blog.coinfund.io/fat-protocols-are-not-an-investment-thesis-17c8837c2734\\n Unchained interview with Joel Monegro, the author of the fat protocols thesis: http://unchainedpodcast.co/placeholders-joel-monegro-on-the-fat-protocols-thesis-today-ep65\\n Videos that Jake mentions at the end of the show:\\n Generalized Mining, An Introduction & Primer by Jake Brukhman, CEO of CoinFund: https://youtu.be/ceex9CN2YZU\\n Panel #1: Supply Side Services | Generalized Mining and The Third-Party Economy: https://youtu.be/Cr6H2FcidjY\\n Panel # 2: New Role of Crypto Investors | Generalized Mining and The Third-Party Economy: \\xa0https://youtu.be/zakQc07GRXA\\n Panel #3: Staking Economic Design | \\xa0Generalized Mining and The Third-Party Economy: \\xa0https://youtu.be/ydViUpTZens\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
