This is almost hilariously bad thinking. It’s the VC filter bubble turned into a kooky VC marketing buzz phrase designed to continue the VC filter bubble. Meanwhile, A16Z’s numerous investments in ‘zeitgeist’ fitting blockchain technologies like IPFS suck hundreds of millions of dollars with no visible success.
- mynegation 7y agoI was with you until you called IPFS “blockchain technology” which it is not. It is true that people interested in blockchain are also interested in IPFS but this is association, not underlying technology.
- detaro 7y agoIPFS itself is not, but the VC investments into it are basically all tied to blockchain things around IPFS. E.g. a16z invested into Protocol Labs' Filecoin - which funds IPFS development, but IPFS alone would be uninteresting to VCs.
