Roundtable: Where will Crypto go next? w...

The European VC
About this episode
If one of your guilty pleasures is watching four wealthy, over-the-top opinionated talking heads every weekend, you may recall that Chamath Palihapitiya predicted that 2024 will be the year that bitcoin becomes a mainstream asset. We brought together three true crypto native VCs to discuss crypto’s comeback, recent trends and where we’re headed.

  • The State of the crypto market overall
  • What has been built in the last few years?
  • Challenges for crypto to overcome in the coming years
  • The impact of global regulations on crypto.
  • Key growth drivers, innovations and hot sectors
  • What makes our panelists excited?
  • Predictions for the future of crypto investments.
  • Sustainability and ethics in crypto investing
