Educated Predictions with Jake Brukhman

Fortune Teller Podcast

Today we’re talking to Jake Brukhman, founder and CEO of CoinFund. Jake has always been a computer science and math guy, with a 10-year career in financial technology. He says he learned about bitcoin in 2011 and while he thought it was fascinating, it took him a couple of years to really understand what blockchains were. It was after reading a white paper on Ethereum that he realized it made a lot of sense to make a new digital asset class. This led him to found CoinFund in 2015 which was the first investment and research firm in the industry. CoinFund has studied and supported development of blockchain since its inception and the team has more than 30 years of experience in investing, engineering, and law. The evolution has been about how this technology can be applied to all of these different areas. Jake says blockchain is a coordination technology that’s as broadly applicable as a database. He believes blockchain technology can play a role in so many different areas with some core ones being transfer of money, accumulation of value and digital goods, Web3, and decentralized financial protocols. -- The Fortune Teller podcast is a discussion between industry leaders in blockchain and financial technologies.
