Andreessen Horowitz's Chris Dixon Urges Shift in Focus from Crypto Speculation to Blockchain Builders
- Chris Dixon feels there is too much focus on crypto speculation and prices, wants more attention on blockchain technology and startups building real use cases
- Dixon leads the crypto division at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)
- Dixon recently wrote a new book "Read Write Own" comparing blockchains to steel and the Web 2.0 internet to wood
- The book argues that while wood (Web 2.0) works fine now, steel (blockchains) will lead to drastic changes when adopted at scale
- Dixon believes the "productive side" of blockchains that entrepreneurs are building is the more important story right now than speculation
