a16z’s Chris Dixon shares his insights on crypto at TechCrunch Disrupt – TechCrunch

/in


Love it, hate it or barely understand it, crypto continues to draw massive amounts of VC money, despite recent token turbulence casting a shadow over the still-nascent sector. Case in point, in May the venerable Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) closed a crypto megafund for a whopping $4.5 billion. 

A16z’s new fund comes hot on the heels of last year’s $2.2 billion Crypto Fund III. That’s a pile of newfangled faith from an investment firm founded back in 2009. All of this activity is why we’re thrilled to announce that Chris Dixon, the founder and managing partner at a16z Crypto, will join us onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt on October 18–20 in San Francisco.

At a time when crypto ecosystems, like Terra and its UST stablecoin, collapse and take billions of dollars down with them, plenty of investors and entrepreneurs remain skeptical. Yet others — like a16z — are doubling down on crypto, NFTs and other uncharted web3 products. 

You can bet we’ll ask Dixon about the current crypto market and why he remains bullish. We’re also curious to hear his take on Bill Gates’ opinion that NFTs represent an asset class based on the greater fool theory. We think this promises to be a rich and spicy conversation.

Chris Dixon is a general partner and has been at Andreessen Horowitz since 2012. He founded and leads a16z Crypto, which invests in web3 technologies through its dedicated funds.

Previously, Dixon co-founded two startups — SiteAdvisor and Hunch — serving as CEO at both. SiteAdvisor, an internet security company, was acquired by McAfee in 2006, while Hunch, a recommendation-tech company, was acquired by eBay in 2011.

Dixon also co-founded Founder Collective, a seed venture fund, and he has personal angel investments in various technology companies.

TechCrunch Disrupt takes place on October 18–20 in San Francisco. Buy your pass now and save up to $1,100. Student, government and nonprofit passes are available for just $295. Prices increase September 16.

Dublin, July 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Global Content Disarm and Reconstruction Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Component (Solution and Services), By Deployment Mode, By Organization Size, By Vertical, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2021-2027” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Global Content Disarm and Reconstruction Market size is expected to reach $533.8 million by 2027, rising at a market growth of 15.6% CAGR during the forecast period.

CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) is a computer security solution that removes potentially dangerous code from files. CDR technology, unlike malware analysis, does not determine or detect malicious capability, but instead excludes any file components which are not supported by the system’s rules and policies. CDR is used to prevent cybersecurity threats from breaching the perimeter of a business network. Website traffic and email are two channels that CDR may be used to defend.

A phishing email is the source of the vast majority of malware infections. A considerable number of them employ a malicious document as the distribution mechanism. Over than 70% of phishing emails attachments or links and over 30% of fraudulent online downloads in 2020 were supplied via documents like PDF, Excel, Microsoft Office Word, and PowerPoint. Nevertheless, just because a document has been weaponized does not mean it is attempting to destroy.

Microsoft Office files are organised as ZIP files that contain folders holding a variety of different files. This indicates that the malicious script included within an Office file is merely one of numerous files contained within it. PDFs are similar in that they are likewise constructed from many elements. A malicious PDF file is made up of a number of components that work together to form the file which the receiver sees. Just one or a few such objects, however, contain the dangerous script code that is concealed within the page.
