马斯克可以用加密货币将特斯拉私有化，怎么操作？

埃隆·马斯克不久前，为本周提议的特斯拉私有化寻求支持者。有一位投资人提供了一个方案：加密货币。

海达尔·哈巴通过其基金安德拉资本，投资于私人科技公司。安德拉资本正在通过出售所谓硅谷币欲筹集10亿美金。这种加密货币将代表着20到30家风险资本支持的初创企业的所有权——从硅谷到中国都有这些初创企业——在哈巴的投资组合中，遴选标准基于这些公司未来几年的增长潜力和上市可能性。

不过目前特斯拉股票是公开交易的，这不符合安德拉资本的风险资本所支持的公司这一标准，但哈巴希望马斯克也能走上类似的道路。

“我爱特斯拉，我喜欢埃隆·马斯克，我认为他绝对应该考虑一下区块链和资产的虚拟化，”本周哈巴在《财富》杂志的节目“搞定账本”中表示。“我们可以称之为特斯拉币。”

如果马斯克采纳了哈巴的建议，他可能会成为一位开路先锋，开创一条用加密货币而不是传统股票形式投资股市的新道路——许多金融企业已经在探索这条道路。

“在我看来，20年后，私有公司和上市公司的概念将会消失，我们将只有一种高质量的虚拟化发行。”哈巴补充说，“这些就是未来的成长货币。”

基于区块链技术的加密货币，可以充当永久的交易分类账目，可以给投资者带来传统股票不能给予的好处，哈巴举例说，过去他所持有的私人公司的一些股份，需要“90天时间和3万美元”来转给别人。

“现在我们可以用区块链处理，只需几秒钟，可以在全球投资人之间互转，”哈巴认为，“这比现有的所有方式都要好得多。”

哈巴进一步阐释，虚拟化的公司股票比其他加密货币有优势。“这些币不是像比特币那样由稀缺性支撑，而是由实际增长的资产支撑。”（财富中文网）

As Elon Musk seeks backers for his proposal this week to take Tesla private—a deal for which the Tesla CEO tweeted that he had “funding secured”—one investor is offering a solution: cryptocurrency.

Haydar Haba invests in private tech companies through his fund Andra Capital, which is in the process of raising $1 billion in a token sale of its so-called Silicon Valley Coin. The cryptocurrency will represent an ownership stake in the 20 to 30 venture capital-backed startups—from Silicon Valley to China—in Haba’s portfolio, chosen for their growth potential and likelihood to go public in the next few years.

While Tesla, which currently has a publicly trading stock, does not meet Andra Capital’s criteria for VC-backed companies, Haba hopes Musk will follow a similar path.

“I love Tesla, I love Elon Musk, and I think he should definitely consider the blockchain and tokenization of assets,” Haba said this week on Fortune’s “Balancing the Ledger” show. “We’d call it the Tesla Coin.”

If Musk takes Haba’s advice, he could become a trailblazer for a new way of investing in the stock market using digital tokens instead of traditional shares—which many financial firms are already exploring.

“In my view, 20 years from now, private and public will go away, and we’re only going to have one high-quality tokenized offering,” Haba added. “These are the growth coins of the future.”

Cryptocurrency, based on a blockchain that acts as a permanent ledger of transactions, offers investors many benefits that traditional stocks don’t, he continued. For example, when Haba used to own equity in a private company, it would take him “90 days and $30,000” just to transfer his shares to someone else.

“Now we can do it on the blockchain in a matter of seconds, between global investors,” Haba said. “This is by far better than anything out there.”

Plus, he added, tokenized shares of companies have certain advantages that other cryptocurrencies don’t. “These are not coins backed by scarcity like Bitcoin,” he said. “These are backed by real growth assets.”
