About this episode

The herd is coming, or is it already here?

Mike Novogratz needs no introduction for long-time crypto natives. For those that are newer? Mike is a fund manager who was early to bitcoin, very early to ethereum, built an entire digital assets empire called Galaxy Digital and spent the last 10 years evangelizing crypto to Wall Street and more recently, to DC.

We cover how Crypto has evolved from 2014 to 2024, what’s Wall Street’s current perception of our industry, the recent ETH ETF launch, Politics and Macro. Mike also ends the episode giving extremely important advice for young investors so stay tuned.
