Mined with CoinFund
There’s so much noise across the echo chamber of crypto culture. What’s something people aren’t talking enough about?
Mined with CoinFund is a weekly show that explores the unearthed narratives within the crypto space. As a team of early stage investors and operators, our business is built on idea-spotting: catching a glimmer of one intriguing idea that could become a market-shaping opportunity.
Mining is a cryptographic process, but in the physical world, it is digging through boulders to find gems. We aim to uncover unpopular truths and unspoken perspectives that deserve to be debated.
