We believe blockchain technology will fundamentally transform how we exchange value, execute contracts, and manage data, giving rise to unstoppable protocols that address some of the digital era’s most pressing challenges.
However, we also understand this evolution is not linear and impossible to predict. Thus, as investors, we are best suited to not constrain our investment activities to what we believe a certain outcome of this exponential adoption curve could look like.
We rather remain flexible to the outcome, adopting to market conditions, technological advancements and going where we see opportunities arising.
