Off Track: Crypto, Courage, And Common S...

Luca Allam
About this episode

This is a special bonus episode of Luca’s Insight Track. This 'Off Track' episode was inspired by my eye-opening conversation with Henri Arslanian, an award-winning crypto author, CNBC presenter, and co-founder of a crypto hedge fund here in the UAE. 

In this improvised Off Track episode, I focus on 3 insights that I took from my chat with Henri; how uncertainty around Crypto & negative PR are major power weapons to keep centralized and financial control, why there remains plenty of room for both education & courage in our financial decision making, and why common sense still should play the overriding role in our investments.

In this unfiltered and improvised episode, I share my own personal insights and values that continue to shape who I am. Off my chest and off the cuff, welcome to Off Track.
