Post by: TechCrunch on May 06, 2013, 03:31 AM


Andreessen Horowitz (http://www.crunchbase.com/financial-organization/andreessen-horowitz) partner Chris Dixon (http://www.crunchbase.com/person/chris-dixon) has been a big part of the New York City scene for years — and finance has long been a dominant industry in the city. So when talking about the ascent of Bitcoin (http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/29/chris-dixon-plans-on-investing-in-more-bitcoin-startups-says-more-entrepreneurs-are-getting-involved/) onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt NYC Dixon directly addressed corruption in Wall Street, we thought it'd be interesting to follow up and hear more.

So in our chat backstage, Dixon talked a bit more about how he sees the tech industry impacting the "company town" feeling of Wall Street dominating New York — and how tech is shifting the energy of the city back from a place that takes things, to a place that makes things. We also talked about Andreessen Horowitz is investing beyond software and into the hardware space, Dixon's very popular personal blog (http://cdixon.org), and more.

Check it all out in the video above.
