"When we invest, we think in terms of funding teams, and funding networks." placeholder.vc/blog/2019/1/10… via @jmonegro
A team needs investment capital to get started, the network needs productive capital to offer utility & @placeholdervc we think the two must be weighed carefully: medium.com/@cburniske/pro…
"We worry that many teams from 2017 over-prioritized investment capital, and still haven’t put the measures in place to stimulate the conversion of that investment capital into productive capital."

#Cryptonetworks that started as a security but already launched & will be grandfathered into “sufficiently-decentralized-to-no-longer-be-a-security-land” have a sizable #RegulatoryMoat vs those that raised in 2017 and have yet to launch & cross the security divide.
Much easier for a regulator to say, that #cryptoasset’s no longer a security, and leave its tax treatment, filing requirements, etc as such, than to provide the path to cross from security —> non-security, and that “path” I fear will become a quagmire.
What woes will a team face if upon launch their cryptoasset is a security (until they become a non-security)?

For example:
1) tax ramifications of “transacting” a security are horrible for use.
2) heavy filing requirements drag on resources, especially if dev heavy team
3) ...?

Really enjoyed this chat with @jwangARK & @yassineARK.

#Bitcoin was the main topic, but we wove in discussion of @placeholdervc, developer traction, #crypto’s financial stack, regulatory matters and more: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fyi…
@jwangARK is a dear friend & sharp, independent thinker who we were lucky enough to hire from @nvidia when I was at @ARKInvest to cover $ARKW with me.
@yassineARK is a new friend who exudes warmth, and has done a fantastic job of replacing me at the firm, quickly making a name for himself in the #bitcoin space (and rightfully so!).

1/ Don't underestimate the strength of the #hodl meme. Until we have market completeness, hodlers will make #cryptoasset prices stickier than anticipated.
2/ Market completeness: "In such a market, the complete set of possible bets on future states-of-the-world can be constructed with existing assets without friction." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_…
3/ It's no secret the #crypto markets have a strong long bias.

Outside of the top 10 #cryptoassets, shorting is difficult, and even for the top 10, friction remains.

Limiting Beliefs...

1) to upskill we need to hire externally vs. train internally
2) we’ll fail at X because we failed at X once before
3) we can’t innovate internally
4) [some group] can’t handle transparency
5) we can’t afford “good” developers/designers

(1/5) #teams
6) the team needs to start with training wheels
7) the best people have already left
8) we can’t prioritize w/o a solution in mind
9) they’re not management/leadership “material”
10) I need to do it myself for it to be done right

(2/5) #teams #limitingbeliefs
11) there’s no way we can all work together on that
12) this is too rough to show a user/customer
13) w/o supervision, they’ll just slack off
14) w/o a strict process, chaos will ensue
15) this decision is too high stakes to involve the team

(3/5) #teams #limitingbeliefs

I’ve worked with lots of agile #teams, and some of the symptoms of a well functioning high-perfoming teams that I see are:

👇
They start their daily standups on time.
They tend to laugh a lot and have fun.

1/ Everyone wants to know the future. Market narratives explain what’s happening and inform our actions. At the moment, a # of narratives are competing to explain crypto’s immediate next next. Below is the TL;DR and bibliography of a piece I wrote on these narratives:
2/ The point was to ask which market narrative is likely to drive the next bull market? I wanted to play out the market mental models that might shape how different people look at crypto: Fat Monies; Tokenized Securities; Protocol Wars; Dapps, and Whales. tokendaily.co/blog/which-nar…
3/ After publishing, I put the question out to Twitter to see what they thought. Bitcoin/Fat Monies came out ahead, with a breakout App beating out Tokenized Securities for #2.
