Elastic Supply Money - Brandon Iles, Co-Founder of Ampleforth
About this episodeLinkedin
Brandon is the Co-Founder of Ampleforth, an elastic supply money, which adjusts supply if price moves outside of a target band. In a market filled with crypto variants, Ampleforth separates itself from the rest with its novel supply mechanism. New seniorage is distributed equally amongst holders, like a stock split.
Brandon also worked at Google Search and so we jumped into his experiences there and how the company is leading the way in Total Information Awareness.
