Live on Bloomberg TV

00:00JOINING ME NOW IS THE CEO OF A COMPANY WHICH PROVIDES MONITORING AND ANALYTICS FOR BLOCKCHAIN COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. TALK TO US ABOUT THE PROBLEM YOU ARE TRYING TO SOLVE. > > WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE LOW-PAID NETWORKS RELIABLE SO THE WEB THREE WORLD CAN BE BUILT ON IT. WE ' VE GOTTEN USED TO THE RESILIENCY OF TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORKS. WHAT IS VERY IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO BUILD APPLICATIONS FOR WEB THREE, APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE HIGH OPERATION LIKE THE NEXT ZOOM, THE NEXT NETFLIX, WE NEED A BLOCKCHAIN THAT WORKS. WE WANT ANYONE WHO RUNS INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO RUN IT RELIABLY. EMILY: ARE ATTACKS ON THE BLOCKCHAIN MORE SERIOUS THAN THEY WOULD BE ON OTHER NETWORKS? > > I THINK THEY ARE. I THINK THE ASSETS THAT EXIST ON THE BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS ARE MUCH MORE VALUABLE THAN VIDEO OR VOICE. IF WE ARE PUTTING OUR BANKING SYSTEM OR NEW ASSETS, DIGITAL ASSETS ON THOSE NETWORKS, I THINK WITH SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, AND I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE HIGHEST [INDISCERNIBLE] THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS, WHEN THERE IS AN OUTAGE, EVERYONE RUNS SOME KIND OF BLOCK AND MONITORING ON NOTES, AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT EVERYBODY SEES THAT THEIR NOTE IS DOWN, AND THEY TRY AND FIGURE OUT, IS IF THE NODE, THE NETWORK, THE OCCUPATION? NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON EXACTLY, SO EVERYBODY GOES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THEY GO ON TWITTER, GOING TO SCORED -- GO ON DISCORD, AND THEY START ASKING EACH OTHER IF THEY ARE SEEING THE SAME THING, AND THEN THERE IS AN LONG PROCESS OF COORDINATION FOR BRINGING A NETWORK BACK IN ORDER. THESE ARE OPERATIONS IN THE EARLY DAYS THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW. WE NEED INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE COMMUNITY MONITORING AND VISIBILITY INTO THE NETWORK AND SET -- AND SO THAT THOSE OUTAGES CAN EITHER BE PREVENTED OR WHEN THEY HAPPEN, WE CAN QUICKLY RECOVER. I THINK WE ARE SEEING THINGS AS WE BUILD OF INFRASTRUCTURE, WE START -- AS WE BUILD UP INFRASTRUCTURE, WE START BECOMING LESS AND LESS SECURE. EMILY: WHAT IS YOUR READ ON WHERE THIS IS ALL HEADED? > > DEFINITELY THE MARKETS ARE IN TURMOIL AND WE ARE GETTING TO A BEAR MARKET, BUT I THINK THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A GOOD THING. EVERY TIME WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST DURING BEAR MARKETS, THERE ' S A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE BEING BUILT. BLOCKCHAIN ' S ARE BEING BUILT AND MOVING FURTHER ALONG. INVESTORS ALSO BECOME MUCH MORE FOCUSED ON THE VALUE OF WHAT IS BEING BUILT RATHER THAN ON FINANCIAL ENGINEERING. I THINK THAT IS A HEALTHY KIND
