Village Global’s Crypto Stories: “Explain Generalized Mining Like I’m Five”

Andrew Cronk (Figment) goes into generalized mining. He contrasts sending someone money via PayPal with sending someone money via a decentralized network. He talks about whether firms with different approaches in the space can co-exist and what it means to be a validator and why it’s important for a firm to be an active participant in a network. Andrew also explains how and why they’ve set up Figment to be itself a decentralized firm with no office and individuals working around the world.
