Fireside Chat with Yat Siu
summary
Animoca Brands explains its shared network effect investment thesis, citing over 500 portfolio companies including Sandbox, OpenSea, Axie Infinity, Magic Eden and Pixels and arguing tokens function as ownership not just currency. Claims include 21.7 billion airdropped over three years, a $100B gaming advertising market with an average $86 cost per paying user, and a current Web3 market around $2.5T; advocates bridging, permissionless interoperability and widespread token ownership as the mechanisms that scale value across networks.
