https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/121-debrief

------
Vance Spencer of Framework Ventures returns to Bankless to walk us through a tremendous opportunity—the Crypto Bear Market of 2022.

With a steadfast thesis and a sober approach, Vance is bullish on Layer 2 ecosystems and GameFi. And of course, all roads lead to Ethereum. Crypto is a “coiled spring on a path to hypergrowth.”

Bear Markets are where legends are born. How will you take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime?
