Cryptonite: The Reddit for global innovators

Born out of the heart of Silicon Valley, global entrepreneurs and risk investors come to Cryptonite to teach and learn. To be relevant and prosperous in today’s fast-changing, 24/7 world, professionals must stay on top of technology disruption and the new opportunities it inspires.

With a target launch in 2023, Cryptonite seeks qualified Wizards representing all modern growth-industry sectors to help guide our community. Our first Wizard recruitment push focuses on seasoned entrepreneurs and risk investors operating in the fast-growing dApps/crypto, artificial intelligence, and metaverse/virtual reality ‘Web3’ sectors. We also seek Wizards representing robotics, biotechnology, regenerative science, green technology, energy, advanced sensors and devices, and other emerging innovation sectors.

Our Wizards ideally have at least ten years of intensive study and provable results in one or more innovation and entrepreneurial business domains. We favor clever entrepreneurs, crafty designers, and hard-core geeks who have helped transform an idea into a thriving product and enterprise defined by the size of the customer base, revenues, and profits.

Along with transparency of purpose and member privacy and data control, Cryptonite offers its members economic alignment through revenue-sharing. Under this construct, our Wizards — as our teachers — stand to enjoy significant Cryptonite PRO (CPRO) token rewards and expert subscription income. CPRO benefits include discounts on membership upgrades, as well as Cryptonite and third-party event tickets, research and intelligence, online data services, productivity tools, shared space, and select luxury offerings. If the market and regulatory environment allow, we plan to list the CPRO on public exchanges to provide additional value.

Cryptonite Wizard home page

Designed in a retro-Reddit, subject tag-driven format, only our Wizards can share and initiate the debate on the Wizard home page. Members can also rate and reward each other with CPROs, make comments, and connect.

Cryptonite Wizards initiate community discussion by sharing content and opinion on topics they think matter and telling us why we should care.

Get in the Cryptonite Mix?

If Wizards choose, they can hang out and initiate voice chats (think Clubhouse) around the content, observations, and opinion they share and receive additional CPRO rewards.

Cryptonite Wizards may choose to launch a ‘MiXr” — a voice-based discussion and debate — around the content and opinions they’ve shared and allow their viewers to ‘get in the MiX.’

Cryptonite Live!

Cryptonite Live! shows highlight top entrepreneurs, companies, innovation trends, and investment opportunities. Our Wizards participate as Cryptonite Live! presenters, commentators, and program hosts. Cryptonite viewers interact by rating and rewarding presenters with CPRO, real-time commenting, and connecting with others.

*Wizard will help Cryptonite achieve its long-term goal of creating* a live, 24/7, interactive video broadcasting platform that focuses on the business of innovation and its cultural and geo-political impact.

Cryptonite Tribes and the DAO

Wizards enjoy the ability to create and host a Cryptonite Tribe based on their subject expertise and a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) they help design. Given the complexity of innovation and industry sectors represented by the Cryptonite community, Tribes offer members a deeper and more focused structure to learn and collaborate. As Reed’s Law underscores, as the number of Tribes multiplies, the economic value and network effects of Cryptonite will grow exponentially.

“Successful decentralized social networks will offer a transparency of purpose and economic alignment. The true value of a network’s currency will ultimately be equal to the perceived value of being a member of the community.”
— Balaji Srinivasan, former CTO of Coinbase & Partner at Andreessen Horowitz

Cryptonite Top Company, Altcoin, and Investor Competitions

Wizards work with our editors to nominate and vote for Cryptonite’s top company and cryptocurrency competitions.

Cryptonite produces the top 500 private companies, Altcoin Fast 40, and top individual risk investor lists, which are dynamically tracked and showcased on Cryptonite’s home page.

Cryptonite Innovation World Tour

Wizards work with our event producers to plug-into live programming as hosts and presenters on the Cryptonite World Tour.

Cryptonite holds an annual summit at the Hoover Institute on the Stanford University campus and a rotating selection of innovation centers and crypto colonies worldwide.

Meet the Cryptonite Wizards—Women First! campaign.

In 22 of 250 U.S. metropolitan areas, women under the age of 30 earn the same amount as or more than their male counterparts, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. Additionally, this fall’s college enrollment numbers show that for every man, there are now almost two women attending college. Women with an associate degree or higher are also now earning 5 percent more in wages than men.

n recognition of the trend that shows new-generation women outperforming men across most professional indicators, Cryptonite is honored to foster our Women First! program with the goal of ensuring that our Wizard ranks always represent 51 percent-plus women. We still have a way to go to reach this balance, so please actively encourage your female professional heroes to join us. Follows is a small example of Cryptonite’s growing list of industry experts now also serving our members as Wizards.

‘It’s a scary time to have an opinion or to make controversial art or statements. It’s scary because art is about creating conversation. That is always the point. The Internet is the opposite of conversation — it’s people putting things out and not taking anything in. Being an artist is not about everybody loving you or thinking you’re hot. It’s about expressing something that will hopefully spark a conversation, inspire people and expand their thinking.’ — Zoë Kravitz, actress
