Today’s episode is part 2 of my conversation with Eric Meltzer.

Our previous episode with Eric has gone on to become one of our most popular episodes to date and this is a second chance to hear from him.

This episode stands on its own and includes a very compelling step by step strategy for bootstrapping a crypto nation-state.

For some background, Eric is a partner at INBlockchain, China’s oldest and largest institutional crypto asset and blockchain fund with several billion under management, and he’s recently opened their US office in Boston.

Please enjoy part 2 of my conversation with Eric Meltzer of INBlockchain.

This is part 2 of my conversation with Ateet Ahluwalia.

I really enjoyed the content from part 1 and I wanted to give you a second chance to hear from Ateet and tease the first episode.

If you didn’t catch our previous episode, here’s some background: Ateet is Managing Director at CoVenture Crypto, and in a past life, he was a Macro Credit Trader at Barclays, a Macro Portfolio Manager at Bluecrest Capital, and a Credit Index Trader at Goldman Sachs.

In part 1 of this two-part interview, we discussed quantitative crypto investing, the values of quantitative trading, why whatever idea you have must be quantified, and how Ateet’s investment research during the Cyprus bailout led him to Bitcoin.

In this, part 2 of our conversation, we play a fun lightning round game of over-rated / under-rated, discuss the impact that regulation is likely to have on the space, and take stock of the real impact that our community is having on the world.

This is part 2 of my conversation with Ari Nazir. I was so happy with the content in part 1, that I decided to create this second episode from my conversation with Ari.

If you didn’t catch our previous episode, here’s some background: Ari is a founder and managing partner at Neural Capital, an advisor at Protocol Ventures, and Chief Investment Officer at Apex Token Fund.

He’s also outperformed almost every Crypto hedge around with a regulated, San Francisco based fund.

In part 1 of this interview we discussed, among other things, sentiment and momentum investing, some of Ari’s other favorite indicators, and Ari’s strategy of shorting everything pitched on CNBC fast money. If you haven’t listened to that episode, I’d go and do that now.

In this, part 2 of our conversation, we play a lightning round game of over over-rated / under-rated.

I hope you enjoy the conclusion of my conversation with Ari Nazir.
