with Chris Burniske (@cburniske), Joel Monegro (@jmonegro), Denis Nazarov
(@Iiterature), and Jesse Walden (@jessewldn) When designing cryptonetworks --
really, emerging economies -- how do we avoid some of the monetary and fiscal
policy failings of "real-world" economies? Like not separating currency and
capital, which accelerated and spread economic growth through the former...
but also concentrated the latter into the hands of a few? Yet how can we
empower users to access capital while also managing risk? If the promise of
cryptonetworks is to better align incentives and value capture, then we can't
make the same mistakes as we did in traditional economies. We also have the
chance to do novel things not possible in the physical world, through
software. So this episode of the a16z Podcast -- featuring voices from
Placeholder VC and a16z Crypto -- goes deep into the nuances and mechanisms of
cryptonetworks, tokens, and decentralized applications at every layer of the
"stack". Chris Burniske (who has written a lot about financial modeling-
influenced frameworks for analyzing crypto) and Joel Monegro (who has written
about "fat protocols", and once managed the Digital Economy Department at the
Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Dominican Republic) of Placeholder VC
discuss and debate all of the above -- and more! -- with a16z crypto's Denis
Nazarov and Jesse Walden (co-founders of Mediachain, which was acquired by
Spotify). Throughout the history of information technology, we've gone from
hardware to software, and software to data. So what's next, what's the layer
above data? The answer is governance -- which gives more people a way to
participate in decision making around a given network -- but the answer for
how to implement the best governance isn't so clear. \--- The views expressed
