a16z Podcast | Trends in Cryptocurrencies
- ▶ 1:23 Juan Benet And around 2013, 12 and 13, I started working on a distributed file system called IPFS, which is now a large open source project, and through that ended up discovering a whole bunch of stuff around Bitcoin, and the thawing of the… 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 3:06 Chris Dixon Filecoin's similar, sort of analogous to Airbnb versus hotels or something, right? 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 7:37 Olaf Carlson-Wee But until you have IPFS and an incentive system using something like Filecoin, on top of that, you can't really have reliable peer-to-peer file storage. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 8:18 Olaf Carlson-Wee So, for example, IPFS and Filecoin could be used extensively by regular people in the same way that when you tweet, that gets stored on Twitter servers, but you don't really think about mechanically how that happened.
a16z Podcast | Why Crypto Tokens Matter
- ▶ 1:47 Fred Ehrsam And that's sort of what we're seeing with the dawn of Ethereum as a computational resource or Filecoin as sort of a global database resource.
- ▶ 29:11 Chris Dixon You go through and you really kind of model out in detail, you know, if Filecoin got to scale, and you were using Filecoin to transact, and the storage market were this big, and people were paying, willing to pay this much in fiat, and… 2 times in the scene
a16z Podcast | Getting Applications Into People's Hands
- ▶ 0:27 Sonal Chokshi Dixon and Bennett cover all this in this episode, starting by talking about the history of the IPFS or Interplanetary File System Protocol, which Juan designed, moving to the problem and opportunity of storage, and then briefly touching on… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 7:31 Chris Dixon Well, that leads us into Filecoin.
- ▶ 7:33 Juan Benet Yeah, so Filecoin is a protocol that came out of IPFS, and there's basically three problems that Filecoin tries to solve. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 12:50 Chris Dixon Okay, so you're a busy guy, you've got IPFS, Filecoin, and then recently you were the co-creator of CoinList?

- ▶ 14:58 Alex Rampell The reason why this is so interesting, and this is a company, or actually a protocol that we invested in called Filecoin.
- ▶ 16:06 Alex Rampell They ran to Fry's Electronics, they went to Amazon, they bought hard drives, they picked, they're gonna install them in their computers because they want to earn Filecoin, so it helps jumpstart the network.
- ▶ 17:43 Alex Rampell Is that when the network utility, or rather the application utility is low, um, so there are no hard drives to go store things on, on Filecoin, so why would I want to use Filecoin instead of Amazon S III? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 19:59 Alex Rampell People have tried doing things like Filecoin or Orchid before.
- ▶ 20:42 Alex Rampell And our interest is really finding more things in new protocols like ORCID, ah, like Filecoin from Protocol Labs that this model can support.
