Venture Capital - Brooklyn, N/A, US
We take a secular view on Decentralized Finance (DeFi) built upon Layer-1 blockchains to deliver venture capital returns with public market liquidity.We believe the 2008 Global Financial Crisis marked the beginning of the Fourth Turning for our social, political, and economic climate. Since then, global monetary policy has expanded the fiat money supply anytime there is a war, crisis, or endemic. The underlying problem is that our financial system evolved to rely on "trust-based" institutions. Under a "trust-based" model, the integrity of institutions is a function of those controlling the institutions. Rules enforced from the top down are guaranteed only if those in power are trustworthy. Rule changes at the discretion of those in power sometimes create a misalignment of incentives between the institution (government) and its participants (us). As centralized institutions grow in importance, the entities or people controlling them accumulate more power, potentially exposing us to harmful behavior.Satoshi Nakaomoto's Bitcoin white paper in 2009 offered a solution – an electronic peer-to-peer cash divorced from centralized government. Like the internet decentralized information, the blockchain will decentralize asset transfer using smart contracts. Bitcoin will serve as the base layer monetary asset for this web 3.0 economy – money for the people, owned by the people. Bitcoin and the blockchain fundamentally shift how financial systems distribute trust, eliminating the roles of centralized authorities in favor of an ecosystem built on computer science and cryptography. This transition from a trust-based economy and society to one of self-sovereignty using the blockchain will be behind one of the largest wealth transfers in human history. Over the next decade, this paradigm shift will unfold.Trust is the foundation of all human relationships. The greatest investment opportunity of our lifetimes is betting that it doesn't have to be.
