“The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs”

Intro to Blockchain
Jefferson believed in limiting the power of financial institutions to influence the nation’s economy. It is in this spirit that crypto-technology was invented, and that Jefferson Capital, long-only manager of crypto-asset hedge funds, was founded
Digital Asset Whitepaper
the Trilemma refers to the fact that networks in general (and distributed systems in particular) suffer from internal trust issues, proportionate to their size: The larger the size of any network, the greater the degrees of separation between its members and therefore the lower the level of trust.
“[Bitcoin] is a remarkable cryptographic achievement… The ability to create something which is not duplicable in the digital world has enormous value…Lot’s of people will build businesses on top of that.”
"...a smart currency, designed by very forward-thinking engineers. It eliminates the need for banks, gets rid of credit card fees, currency exchange fees, money transfer fees, and reduces the need for lawyers in transitions… all good things.”

Digital Asset
Digital assets are units of trade on Blockchain networks. They can represent any real world good or service, commodity or security, and be bought and sold peer-to-peer. They can bring financial liquidity to any asset, without the need for exchanges or brokers. Digital assets will lead to efficient markets, frictionless business practices and a better economy for producers and consumers alike.
Blockchain
A blockchain is a decentralized encrypted database used for keeping an immutable ledger of transactions between its users. This technology enables ownership rights of any conceivable good or service to be transferred and verified without the need for intermediation by third parties. In short: The end of middlemen
Decentralization
A “decentralized” system is one without any single point of control. The control is distributed across a network of nodes, making it more secure than a traditional system. In computing, these systems were only made possible in the last decade, thanks to advances in cryptography.
Jefferson Methodology:
1) Question and Anticipate
In order to anticipate the various blockchain development hurdles and proposed cryptocurrency solutions, one must have a very detailed technical understanding. Only then can the questions be anticipated effectively.
2) Research and Analyze
Once the right questions have been asked, it’s time to determine which proposed digital asset solutions are most viable.
3) Value and Select
So you’ve found a few projects you like but how do you approach valuation? Have you determined short, medium, and long term hypotheticals with appropriate probability weightings? Are the outcomes binary? It’s a constantly evolving landscape, things can change quickly. Active monitoring is essential.

Diversification beyond Bitcoin:
There are over 1500 types of digital asset traded globally. Bitcoin is just one of them.
The term cryptocurrency is misleading: Most behave more like fungible shares.
This is why we refer to them as digital assets.
Digital assets are uncorrelated to existing asset classes such as: stocks, bonds, real estate, or financial commodities. This means they move independently and can be thought of as a true hedge to existing investments.
