Chris Dixon Thinks Web3 is the Future of the Internet. Is it?


Andreessen Horowitz generally is responsible for a ton of money flowing into Web3, but Chris Dixon is one of the solo decision-makers so is personally are responsible for a lot of it.

Chris Dixon leads crypto investing at the storied Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z. He’s responsible for leading funding rounds for Coinbase, which went public about a year ago, the NFT marketplace OpenSea, and Yuga Labs, which is behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club, among others. He is also a prolific user of Twitter, where he posts lengthy threads about crypto and web3. He is at once one of the biggest investors in the space and its biggest booster.

Chris is a smart guy who has been around the industry a long time and has seen a lot of tech hype come and go. This episode gets way into the weeds and, while we do talk over each other here and there, I think excited but respectful disagreement is in too short supply these days, so we wanted to keep all of that in the episode.

Okay, Chris Dixon, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz. Here we go.
