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) Our Guest Chris Adamo is an investor, advisor and cofounder of Flamingo Capital, a venture capital fund that invests in early-stage companies in Miami.
