  • These days, you can hardly talk about investing without cryptocurrency and decentralized finance entering the conversation in some capacity. Joey Krug, CIO of Pantera Capital, one of the largest asset managers in crypto, is here to shed some light on navigating this evolving asset class. We discuss how product and market analysis help them make decisions when investing in crypto, the relationship to traditional finance, dangers to consider when investing, and current events happening in crypto.

    Dive in and learn how to mitigate risk and find opportunities in a very volatile market.

    Key Highlights:

    [00:00 - 06:23] Joey Krug and an Intro to the Defi Market: Alive, well, and not so different from traditional finance.

    [25:42 - 31:49] The relationship between crypto and traditional finance and how knowing it can help you navigate the market.

    [31:49 - 37:18] The cultural shifts within crypto have played a major role in what it is today and why it correlated with tech.  Culture is also essential when it comes to building a business.

    Quotes:

    "I think DeFi has drastically changed the way finance works.” - Joey Krug

    "The biggest mistakes I've made when it comes to trading are basically in two categories.: One is taking risk off too soon, and the other is not taking risk off soon enough." - Joey Krug

    “Twenty years from now, banks will compete on the UI layer, like what the experience is like for the user and all the stuff under the hood.” - Joey Krug

    “What I hate in a culture is people who complain about a bunch of problems… What you should do is solve it for yourself, and if you can’t, service it to the person who can.” - Joey Krug

With this, listen in as Anthony provides his insights into what’s ahead in the technology sector.

    Key Highlights:

    [06:20 - 08:40] - Be wary of confusing brains with a bull market. Understand the risk involved and be cautious of the cash flow.

    [17:08  - 19:00] - When the business comes crashing down, the greatest bull market run in your life can happen. Don’t pretend that you know everything.

    [21:31  - 23:14] - Cryptography requires adaptation and faith. This game is not for the impatient and fearful.

    [26:38 - 27:58] - The administration is making a mistake by being indifferent to the stock market and failing to understand the harmony between Main Street and Wall Street.

    [28:45  - 30:22] - Reclaiming America’s former glory requires strong-willed political leadership.

    [37:02  - 39:05] - Anthony shares how he entered politics during the Trump administration, got blasted, and moved forward.

    "You're in a situation right now where a lot of really good things are happening, but current market sentiment is very negative… But if you're not patient, you can't be in this market.” - Anthony Scaramucci

    “If you're not failing a little, you're not really living, you're not pushing yourself to where you can go.” - Anthony Scaramucci

  • How do we picture a financially free world? In our current status, does identity privacy truly exist? In this episode, Rob and Charles tackle challenging the status quo with the Web 3 systems. Listen closely as they discuss its implications on inclusivity, governance, and identity under this ecosystem and how Cardano aims to solve the pressing issues of the design areas to make this feasible.

    Key Highlights:

    [03:08 - 05:32] - The bitcoin movement proved that it is here to stay. It is an industry to be taken seriously.

    [09:59 - 11:55] - The winners of the online world are centralized companies. Web 3.0 focuses on undoing this by enforcing decentralization and a token-based economy through blockchain.

    [21:17  - 23:45] - Cryptography now focuses on new capabilities and building on the next generation of identity.

    [39:23 - 30:10] - Cardano came about from solving three design areas - scalability, interoperability, and governance.

    [40:54  - 42:59] - Facebook or Google should not decide your identity, but in Web 2.0, the vast majority of utility about you is heavily controlled by third-party actors.

    Tweetable Quotes:

    "It [decentralizaton] is really been a game of how do you make it better, faster, cheaper? It's also a game of how do you make it more accessible? And also a game of how do you make it secure, because the problem is, the bigger these things get, the larger their attack surfaces are. And there's no accountable party for when they fail." - Charles Hoskinson

    "One of the big design areas that we have to figure out as an industry is how do we build protocols where the bottom up can maintain the systems, upgrade the systems and keep them competitive, and create reliability and security as if there was a centralized custodian, but no one's in charge?” - Charles Hoskinson

    “We shouldn't live in a world anymore in a world that has overwhelming data and digitization to say, ‘Trust us.’ ” - Charles Hoskinson

  • This is Part 2 of The Gremlin bonus episode of Over The Wall.

    I'd like to welcome you to a very special edition episode of Over The Wall. You might have noticed that, in most of the interviews I've done here, I'll ask my guests the same question: what does the little voice in your head tell you?

Presented back to back, I thought it was fascinating to see how much we really all have in common at the end of the day, no matter our experiences, age, industry, whatever.

Her journey to founding her company is full of twists and turns and reminded me that the path to being a founder and a leader is never a straight road. You have to be open to some detours. I found her advice to be refreshing, straight forward, and actionable, something we need more of when it comes to talking about founding a company.

    Her book, Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters, is excellent and is available now - I highly recommend it to anyone looking for how to overcome the voices who want to see you fail.
