Why Ethereum’s Early Adopters Were Bullish

Why Ethereum’s Early Adopters Were Bullish

Ethereum’s founders knew they didn’t want to be another Satoshi; they had a team and they wanted to be visible and accountable. Ethereum co-founder Anthony Di lorio, one of the first people to see Vitalik Buterin’s original Ethereum white paper, fellow Ethereum co-founder Anthony D’Onofrio, early investor Ken Seiff of Blockchange Ventures and CoinDesk podcast producer Adam Levine credit the blockchain’s decentralization efforts to the founding team’s outreach to bring a community together.

In 2014, no one knew what to expect from a token sale that promised to kick-start a whole new type of cryptocurrency, something that would become more than digital money.

“I was bullish in the beginning. When Ethereum first started out, the idea of something beyond Bitcoin was just…it wasn’t out there,” said Di lorio, one of the dozen or so original contributors who wanted to create Ethereum as a startup rather than an open-source project shepherded by a nonprofit – a layout that faced fierce debate in the early days.

The Defiant newsletter creator Camila Russo hosts the discussion that takes us back to year one of the “world’s computer.”

Blockcast.cc 访问 Conflux 生态负责人Robin

Blockcast.cc: Hello Robin, 我看你最近一直挺忙碌地在四处出差，对接Conflux的社区流量工作，感谢你在繁忙的工作中抽出时间接受我们的专访。首先按照惯例请简单介绍一下你的背景和履历，以及你是怎么进入到区块链行业的？ Robin: Hello Blockcast的读者们大家好。我叫彭瀚, 也可以叫我Robin，我是Conflux的生态负责人。 我毕业于北京大学软件工程专业，我的经历略微怪异一点。我先在读书阶段有过两次创业经历，之后才参加了工作。 第一次创业是在2014年，IDG投资了我和几位好朋友做的一个互联网招聘平台公司，并于15年被收购。另外一次是在17年由Plug and Play投资我的社交APP”心对”。这个项目不幸失败了，之后我被创大资本收留，开始研究并投资区块链领域。后面加入了德丰杰，开始更多关注海外的区块链项目的投资。我在创大资本与德丰杰参与了多个区块链项目的投资和投后服务后，算是正式踏入区块链的世界。 在18年末我认识了Conflux联合创始人元杰，在一次闲聊时候了解到Conflux在开发钱包产品的过程中欠缺人手。于是我主动请缨，带领我之前创业的团队利用业余时间协助Conflux开发产品。这一合作就是一年时间，我们先后参与了官网、浏览器、钱包等产品的开发。在此过程中，也与Conflux建立了深厚的友谊。 我是去中心化的信仰者，我想要去一个对区块链行业有最大贡献的地方，不管是在投资机构还是公链团队。这也是19年9月我加入了Conflux的主要原因。 Blockcast.cc: 作为一个前连续创业者和区块链方向的投资人，你应该见过了很多的公链项目，为什么选择加入了Conflux, Conflux哪些地方吸引了你？ Robin: 我在德丰杰的平台上接触了世界上许多非常优秀的公链项目，Conflux的团队当时吸引我的主要是两点： 1. Conflux 是为数不多的纯工程师文化为导向的公链团队，而且技术领导者是华人之光姚期智院士。它与很多商业导向的公链很不一样，Conlux专注于技术和落地，而不是一味地追求商业利益，最开始的初心是不一样的。 2 . 在我还只是社区成员时，我带领我之前创业团队与Conflux合作开发了一些产品。Conflux的创始团队给予了我们很大的尊重和认可，这让我觉得我做的事情非常有价值，所以

Corey Hoffstein on the Fed, Passive Investing and Market Volatility

Image
Corey Hoffstein is the founder and Chief Investment Officer of Newfound Research LLC, a quantitative research and investment fund. He is also the host of the “Flirting with Models” podcast. His most recent research is “Liquidity Cascades: The Coordinated Risk of Uncoordinated Market Participants.” In it, he examines three popular narratives about what is driving radical swings in markets, including: The increased role of the Fed The rise of passive and index investing The growth of volatility-correlated strategies He finds that, individually, none could explain the radical market shifts we’ve seen. However, when combined, they create a market incentive loop that is causing markets to move and react to exogenous shocks more quickly and aggressively than ever before. Enjoying this content?
