What if crypto isn’t just a speculative asset class—but the next foundational layer of the internet?
In this episode, Chris Dixon, founding partner of a16z crypto and one of the earliest, most forward-thinking investors in the space, joins TBPN for a wide-ranging conversation on the real, long-term promise of crypto—and why we're still early.
He unpacks:
-Why stablecoins are already functioning as internet-native money
-How blockchains can serve as global, programmable financial infrastructure
-Why programmability, not just low fees, is the real unlock
-The evolving regulatory landscape and new bipartisan momentum
-The rise of AI agents, decentralized platforms, and real-world crypto use cases
This episode is about long-term thinking, technical optimism, and building open infrastructure for the future of the internet.
