Ep 26 - Jake Brukhman - Generalized Mining for Decentralized Networks

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our twenty-sixth episode features Jake Brukhman. Jake is the founder of CoinFund, a cryptoasset-focused investment and research firm founded in 2015. CoinFund directly engages with decentralized networks and contributes support to companies designing blockchain protocols and applications - something they've referred to as "generalized mining." Jake himself has a technical background, previously studying mathematics and computer science and working as a technical product lead at Amazon. On this episode Jake talks about the vision he had for CoinFund in 2015, why he embraces the term "generalized mining" (and how he defines it), the future of decentralized finance on Ethereum, and why 2019 might be the year of decentralized governance. Enigma's podcast "Decentralize This!" features guests from all over the decentralization space: developers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, writers, artists, people in government and enterprise - all individuals who care deeply about building a more decentralized and sustainable world. How can all these people with different perspectives collaborate to create and scale the technologies we need to shape a better future? ---- Relevant links: CoinFund: https://coinfund.io Grassfed Network: https://grassfed.network Jake's Twitter: https://twitter.com/jbrukh Enigma: www.enigma.co
