Our thesis is that we’re in an era where people are looking for services to simplify very technical infrastructure so that they can build on-demand services

The blockchain is this mammoth network that is quite difficult to build on…. It’s like telecom or credit card processing or web hosting where certain people at the beginning tend to do it themselves but, over time, it matures and bigger companies start accessing it. So what you need is reliability and real service-level agreements. When a big bank wants to connect to the blockchain, they want an expert to help them. We want that to be us
We’re very interested in helping bitcoin itself to evolve and to be leading contributors in helping bitcoin scale and be more robust going forward
