Mined with CoinFund
There’s so much noise across the echo chamber of crypto culture. What’s something people aren’t talking enough about?
Mined with CoinFund is a weekly show that explores the unearthed narratives within the crypto space. As a team of early stage investors and operators, our business is built on idea-spotting: catching a glimmer of one intriguing idea that could become a market-shaping opportunity.
Mining is a cryptographic process, but in the physical world, it is digging through boulders to find gems. We aim to uncover unpopular truths and unspoken perspectives that deserve to be debated.

Last week’s $LIBRA launch was not like other pump and dump schemes.

CoinFund Partner Einar Braathen and Principal Bobby Beniers chat about the $LIBRA saga, Solana’s ecosystem narrative, and whether or not memecoins are here to stay. They cover:
- Timeline of events after $LIBRA launch (1:32)
