Hello, welcome to money talks from Slate Money. This is a very, very special episode of Money Talks because I only do this once every five years.

I'm Felix Ammon of Axios and I have had various affiliations over the years.

But the one thing that is a constant since the beginning of the age of Bitcoin is that every

five years I get into a bet with Ben Horowitz. Ben Horowitz, welcome.

Thank you, Felix. It's good to be back after five years.

Ben, you are, well, tell me, who are you? Introduce yourself. I am one of the founding partners of

Andresen Horowitz, who are, I think we have the largest crypto fund in the world. Is that right, Chris?

Yeah. This other gentleman who's just jumped in here is Chris Dixon. Welcome.

Hi, Felix. How are you? Thanks for having me. Chris, what's your role in the in the

cryptoverse? And plug your book. So I'm Ben's partner. I've worked with Ben for about 10 years,

and I created our separate crypto fund that we started about five years ago.

And I just published a book. Thank you for

mentioning that. It's called Read Righton. It's about blockchains and kind of my view that they're a

useful tool for building new internet services that have a lot of benefits of kind of the early

internet and decentralized networks like email and the web, but also can power advanced services that we're

kind of accustomed to today. Okay, we're going to talk a lot of crypto and blockchain, but first

of all, we're going to settle a bet. And it's all coming up on Money Talks.

My name is Caden Sinclair.

Some people call us American royalty.

We were liars.
