We recognize that the company's value is greater than $3 Billion already. So, we think a fair offer is $11 Million for 50% of our Coinbase position. Best, DARREN K. INDYKE DARREN K.

EFTA00900910 Good to hear from you so quickly. We do not have anything formal, in terms of paperwork. But if Jeffrey wants to sell his Coinbase position, we will have legal documents drafted to facilitate the purchase of the LLC that holds the position. We just raised a new fund, that does not have any exposure to Coinbase, thus we are looking for secondary positions to buy. Given Blockchain Capital has no direct relationship with Jeffrey, other than through Brock Pierce, and Brock left Blockchain Capital in May of 2017, we figured that Jeffrey may want to take the --$12m of profit from this $3m investment. We are in contact with a few other sellers at this price, in case Jeffrey does not want to sell his position. But due to the dedicated LLC structure you created to house the position, purchasing the position from Jeffrey appears to be the simplest, and doesn't need to go through Coinbase. Let us know Jeffrey's interest in moving forward. Best, Brad W.

And if so, we are interested in buying the LLC below that we used to make this Coinbase investment. We did this investment at a $400m valuation. The company just raised money at a 1.6b valuation, and we would be willing to buy the position from you at a $2b valuation. We would pay $15m for this $3m investment.
