No BTC, No Ethereum Killers: Activist Investing in Crypto - Vance Spencer (Framework Ventures), Ep. 93
03/17/20 • 61 min
I'm thrilled to be joined by Vance Spencer (@iam__vance) from Framework Ventures, an activist crypto fund bullish on DeFi and governance. I enjoyed Vance's no-holds-barred takes, and we discussed:
- Why Framework doesn't hold BTC
- The case against Ethereum killers
- Speculation as a use case: Chainlink, Synthetix
- The new winners in the crypto fund space
