66-Ether: The Triple-Point Asset, with Ryan Sean Adams

Ether is a super-asset in a super-position, fitting into the role of three categories at once.

There are 3 asset superclasses, as defined by Robert Greer in his 1997 paper “What is an Asset Class, Anyway?”. Ether fills nicely into all 3 asset superclasses, and is the only asset to ever do this.

Ryan Sean Adams comes to POV to walk through each category, and talk about how Ether’s value proposition fits each one.
