The Bitcoin Super cycle with Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanowitz

Leaving traditional finance in favor of cryptocurrency, Jason Yanowitz knew he couldn’t work in any other sector ever again. As the co-founder of Blockworks, Yanowitz has not only played a pivotal role in developing media in the crypto space for growing institutional interest, but he has also helped build Melker’s podcast to what it is today. He believes that not only is crypto an improvement on traditional finance, but it is offering the first chance in history for retail investors to front-run institutions’ slow arrival to the crypto space. In this episode, Melker and Yanowitz discuss a range of topics including: A Bitcoin super cycle Learning from Reddit and Twitter “This time is different” Coinbase becoming a top 5 company VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF Coindesk vs The Wall Street Journal 2017’s frenzy Crypto’s infrastructure Regret minimization framework Short Squeezes and Melvin Capital Front running institutions --- VOYAGER This episode is brought to you by Voyager, your new favorite crypto broker.
