Notable Quotes
· “One mistake might have been exploring too many options. A lot of people give advice to early entrepreneurs to focus, focus, focus. And I made the mistake of being endlessly curious, trying so many different things. But I’m actually grateful for that because my knowledge base of the area has expanded significantly, and I also met a lot of people and learned so much about the nuances of the industry that I otherwise would not have known If I had started small.” – Maika (18:06)
· “I think really focus on the basics of a sustainable company. You can’t raise off fluff and an idea. Make sure you have traction. Make sure the value is there. Show that people are willing to utilize your products, maybe even willing to pay. That’s even better. I think basic business things that people kind of forgot about in the last couple of years of high VC investment time. So just make sure you have a valid business idea model execution.” – Maika (31:28)

Today we sat down with David to get inspired, informed, and entertained and get his thoughts on the future of digital assets, and security within the blockchain and web 3 space.

Notable Quotes

“We are now in 2023, and we really don’t have any true enterprise-level risk management. So, I think we’re not in a great place, candidly, where I think we should be. I am hopeful that things like DoD Frank Act, I hope there is some sort of similar legislation that’s passed. Because we can’t be taking in 100% of our deposits and lending a 100% of our deposits with risky loans. I think there is this gray area of criminality where you are just YOLOing from a risk management perspective. I think in a good way a lot of this is just poor risk management and not criminality, outside of FTX.” – David (15:13)

“I think it honestly comes down to a lack of actual understanding. You can’t just beat your chest and say I am just going to dictate how this is going to work. By sanctioning validators to not take certain transactions is such a severe regulatory overstep. I think it kind of telegraphs somewhat of the immaturity in the regulators to fully grasp the implications of what they are doing. This is a global financial economy and ecosystem.” – David (36:12)

Welcome to the Immutable Mindset podcast, your ultimate guide to the future of block chain technology, crypto and the next evolution of the internet.

In this very special episode of The Immutable Mindset, co-founders Adam and Kevin sit down with Chris Adamo, co-founder of Flamingo Capital and Adam’s best friend. Together they discuss the future of crypto and blockchain and some of the challenges facing the web 3 space today.

Notable Quotes

“People are really believing in collaboration over competition and abundancy. We all learn together. Rising tides lift all ships and I think that’s the mentality of that is keeping us afloat and keeping us moving in the right direction.” – Adam (9:24)

“Definitely more open, definitely less history. People are kind of like; this is me; this is only me; this is all I do; this is my world and it’s closed off. A lot of folks are new to this space. In general, it’s only a few years old. So, there are open to learning from you. If you have done something in the last few years that’s done well and made an example of it, then you are going to learn.” –Chris (07:52)

“There is still a lot of harm that’s been done in the past year around the trust issues and overall understanding of how this stuff works. I do think we need more security. I think we can take a page out of how people built institutions for years of governments and then bump the trust around it, And then build some sort of FDIC insurance around cryptocurrency. That could happen and that could be a huge business for us.” – Chris (24:05)

Welcome to the Immutable Mindset podcast, your ultimate guide to the future of blockchain technology, crypto, and the next evolution of the internet.

Today, we are taking you on a journey with a crypto wizard, a man who has gone from laughing at people buying NFTs to proudly owning and displaying his own cryptopunk as his profile picture. In this very special episode of The Immutable Mindset, co-founders Adam and Kevin sit down with Sergio Silva, Senior Director of Business Development at FireBlocks and a blockchain, NFT, and crypto expert.

Notable Quotes

“If we do a good job of onboarding our family and friends, teaching them the right way and helping each other out; nobody needs to get fished; nobody needs to get hacked; but to also just give up the responsibility to have some big brand do it for us that just goes against the ethos of crypto.” – Sergio (14:48)

“That brings all these lead players and participants are not aligned with the visions which is just to make really awesome me-bit memes with really dope artists. I’m really lucky that I’ve been here for two years. I have really cool artist friends. And so that’s always been the idea and obviously the pillars of the manifesto. And now there is the expectation of profit and when everything is going up you are a genius and people love you. And then things correct as they should, and then literally I have people in my DM’s threatening to come and kill me and so it has been an exercise and a lesson in managing emotion and expectation, communication and tokenomics.” – Sergio (33:50)

Our Guest

Sergio Silva is a true alchemist of the modern era. He has embraced the world of web 3.0, NFT and blockchains and has becomes its leading voices. Starting his career at the esteemed Goldman Sachs, and then on to Barclays, Sergio learned the ways of trad finance before partnering up to work on a smart up that went on to become Coinbase.

Welcome to the Immutable Mindset podcast, your ultimate guide to the future of blockchain technology, crypto, and the next evolution of the internet.

With so much misinformation and mistrust out there about Crypto and blockchain technology in general, there is an ever-present need to have a platform where actionable, verifiable data can be analyzed, discussed, critiqued, and presented to the audience so as to keep them better informed about the latest tech and trends in the web 3 space.

In their very first podcast, co-founders Adam and Kevin talk about their professional and personal reasons for creating The Immutable Mindset, its vision and purpose, and what kind of guests and content the audience can expect in the upcoming podcasts.

Notable Quotes

“Maybe you are an industry veteran. Maybe you have been here for 10 years. And you like to dive deep into conversations. You’re worried about transparency and security, and privacy. This is absolutely the place for you. We’re going to have wide-ranging conversations with the best of the best guests, and it is our intention to be a relevant, reliable and believable place for our audience to come and get facts about this space.” – Kevin (06:26)

“We are going to bring you (the audience) the best and brightest in this world. And we’re excited to do that and we’re going to tie it all together. We’ re going to have fun. We’re going to keep it open, and lively but ultimately, we also want you, the audience to engage. So as we build out our social media channels and as we build out our email list, we want to bring the community into this. Ask questions. Get involved, and share information. Because that’s really what its all about. We truly believe in collaboration over competition in abundancy here.” – Adam (12:30)

“The misinformation, everything that’s been going on, I want to make sure that this (The Immutable Mindset) is that reliable, believable place, where we get guests that we can dive deep on, so we can edutain our audience, and make sure that you guys actually get useful information, the actual information that makes sense here.” – Kevin (10:39)
