We’ve got Anthony Sassano on the podcast today. He’s a notable angel investor, ETH bull, and creator of Ethereum podcast The Daily Gwei. Anthony is here to bring us some clarity to all the noise that has been going around the ETH price these days. He answers the criticisms, gives us the bull case and tells us what’s next.
