In a recent snippet, we mentioned Andreessen Horowitz's (a16z) involvement in the global race for cryptocurrency dominance.
a16z is keen to own big chunks of the emerging world of digital currencies, and have a hand in writing the rules for how it will operate.
To push its agenda, the firm has hired an array of experienced government hands, including Katie Haun, a one-time Justice Department cryptocurrency prosecutor.
Haun was one of a team of Washington insiders to make a case for a16z during a recent five-day lobbying blitz. No other crypto player in the Washington influence game has a line-up that rivals the team a16Z has assembled - and none of these people is registered as a lobbyist.
We suggest that there's a load of self interest in their efforts to frame regulatory proposals for the industry as a whole.
It's a bit like asking a wolf to design a sheep pen.
In an interview, Haun spoke to TechCrunch about:
- What a16z tells its investors about its various bets on NFTs
- The economics for creators
- a16z’s deal flow
- Why the firm is investing so much in tokens
- Her seats on the both the boards of OpenSea and Coinbase
Haun said:
It’s still very early days for these business models … [But] one thing about crypto architecture distributed systems is that you can make a living, and we’ve seen this with NFTs already. You don’t have to be Beeple and get really rich to make a living.
As to Haun's last sentence, analysis has proven that most NFTs are worthless. Only 1% of NFTs sell for more than $1,500, and 75% sell for $15 or less.
