Companies with crypto exposure do not have enough exposure to blockchain and AI. Exposure to Crypto, Blockchain, & AI are either small parts of large conglomerate strategies (IBM, TSLA), or privates.

Large conglomerates dabble in the space, however purchase of the shares does not give direct and sufficient exposure to the space.

Crypto companies have put most of their focus on transactions and users vs technological innovation.

Companies are choosing the strategy of brokerages of yesteryear, taking advantage of retail traders through the bid/ask spread and transaction fees which encourage gamified trading, hurting the little guy.

Many core blockchain and crypto technology companies have not gone public. A number of private companies with strong exposure to A/B/C are doing well but are inaccessible to individual investors through traditional means.

Flywheel provides exposure to some of the most innovative A/B/C players while maintaining low capital requirements, competitive fee structure, and high diversification.

  • Many new companies have latched on to AI/ML. Is AI/ML a centerpiece to their strategy or a passing fad?
  • COIN IPO down 20%+. What does that mean for the rest of the crypto space (IPO’s, blockchain, crypto)?
  • With so many companies in blockchain attached to bitcoin, is there intrinsic value left in non-bitcoin crypto/blockchain innovations?
  • What impact will government regulation on cryptocurrencies have on the future of blockchain?
  • Will Govcoins adversely affect the impact of cryptocurrency?
