About this episode

The Messari CEO goes over the highlights of his just-released annual “Crypto Theses” report.

On this episode, he and NLW discuss the highlights of Selkis’ 2020 report, including:

The top 10 people in crypto 2020
The bifurcation of bitcoin and ethereum
How DeFi was and wasn’t like ICOs in 2017
