Love you guys, might be down 60%, yet, love Cathie Wood. Hoping for a rebound around March 23’
Damn you guys talk really slow. I had to increase the video speed so I didn't fall asleep lol
I think you guys are underestimating the likelihood that no one will even care about crypto in 10 years and that it could go into terminal decline.
Thank you for doing these conversations. Looking forward to learning more!
Work on your uptalk.
