Why Balaji Srinivasan Thinks the SaaS Apocalypse Is Overhyped | The a16z Show
- ▶ 54:19 Balaji Srinivasan Because zero knowledge proofs, which basically mean anybody can prove anything without revealing anything else, were developed, and then they were commercialized in the form of Zcash, scaled with zero knowledge proofs for scaling, um,… 2 times in the scene
Why Creativity Will Matter More Than Code | Kevin Rose and Anish Acharya

Future of Crypto, Blockchain & Web3 w/ Chris Dixon
- ▶ 19:09 Chris Dixon And that creates a competitive dynamic where people can sort of shop around and empirically, I have a few charts in the book, like the take rates in, for example, Ethereum is sub one percent and all the kind of common blockchain networks…
- ▶ 30:47 Chris Dixon First, you know, Bitcoin has been around that long, but Ethereum, which really generalized the ideas of Bitcoin and, and, and built a blockchain that's a general computing platform, that was 2015. 5 times in the scene

- ▶ 6:05 Alex Gluchowski (Alex G) Uh, and, uh, I, this was a great intro, a very, very good analogy, and I would like to extend it with, um, uh, you know, like for me, the blockchains that when I first learned about Bitcoin and later Ethereum and more powerful way to, to… 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 13:17 Alex Vlasov (Alex V) Too early to go into there because around the same time, the plasma concept was introduced and on this hackathon, we tried to do the first very simple prototype of plasma for a serial.

- ▶ 6:24 Arianna Simpson This is a very simplified version of the diagram, so forgive me for those who, who get in the technical weeds if I give a high level overview, but basically the way it works is a user can say, okay, I have a 150 dollars, let's say, worth… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 9:54 Arianna Simpson Um, it basically enables trading of Ethereum based assets on the blockchain.

- ▶ 4:16 Olaf Carlson-Wee I think that, you know, these, uh, VM systems moving towards, um, a WASM, a compiler, and this is like Polkadot, Dfinity, E WASM, so like Ethereum too, um, I think it's a really big deal.
- ▶ 6:57 Chris Dixon Um, then there's sort of the Ethereum era, which is sort of takes this idea of digital money and expand it to blockchain computers, right? 2 times in the scene

- ▶ 18:32 Jesse Walden People probably don't need to understand how Ethereum computers, you know, determine consensus, but I think, I think the difference is that in order for a stable coin to work, it, it's a much more, you know, complicated system, and it has…
- ▶ 24:40 Dennis Nazarov They could use the same amount of the computational resource of Ethereum.
- ▶ 28:26 Dennis Nazarov In America between Ethereum, for example, and the applications built on top of it, you could imagine that there's some way in protocol to say it's an upgrade to ERC-TWEN standard that, you know, 10% of the tokens every quarter get, it's a…

- ▶ 6:48 Andy Milenius And I can say from my own personal experiences, when I first discovered Ethereum, you know, I immediately recognized that there was value in a decentralized network that maintained like this global state 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 21:27 Andy Milenius So you can imagine supply chain invoices, you can imagine, like, commodities like gold, you can imagine pure cryptocurrencies like Ether or Augur's Rep, all existing in the same system of credit, so that if any single one of them has…
