Hi, everyone. Welcome to the A6&Z podcast. I'm Sonal. We recently took the A6 and Z podcast on the road to New York City. And so today's episode features a fly-on-the-wall recording of a conversation between venture capitalist and longtime internet investor Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures and A6&Z Crypto general partner Chris Dixon. The two discuss everything from

current tech trends like AI to seemingly more mature trends like mobile and cloud to the advent

of crypto. And throughout the episode, they weave through past and present in internet history

to reflect on where we are now really to where we may go next. Are we seeing disruption?

Or is a lot of current innovation just a sustaining innovation to borrow from Clay Christensen's

framework? Or how about Carlotta Perez's framework for tech revolution and financial capital?

Does that fully apply to software? And what precisely is so unique about software itself? And how

might that affect internet-native

applications for things like crypto? The two discuss all this and much more in this episode of

the A6C podcast. As a reminder, the content provided here is for informational purposes only,

it is now, 25 years into the internet, sort of the modern, the mainstream internet.

Some very large, you know, trillion dollar tech incumbents, very venture industry has grown dramatically.

Tech seems more mainstream.

Some people argue it's perhaps becoming mature.

Maybe it's like TV where there's like four TV channels and there's four big incumbents.

There's all sorts of interesting stuff happening in like crypto and AI and new devices like virtual

reality and augmented reality and self-driving cars and drones.

There's interesting stuff happening in verticals, like changes in health care and real estate and finance.
