Glitter Ledger episodes

  • Wendy Diamond, Founder of WEDO, Entrepreneur. Author. Homeless Animal Saver. Bitcoin Advocate. Friends with Michael Saylor and the President of Mexico.

    New Sode of #GlitterLedger.  Alas, I put a majority of my trust fund into Eclipse, the scientific phenomenon not the L2, and a minority in GME so suffice it to say; its been an a week of deep introspection. Writ large. 


    On the topic of disgraced Eclipses, Licensed Detective Glitter, C’est moi, was appointed to the dramatic Me Deux Harvey Weinstein on chain case by vote EIP-69. The only conclusion I can surmise is that L2s on the Solana Virtual Bedazzled Machine have not prevented harassment;  resulting in my passionate bullish sentiment. Ipso facto, I called Sue Wagner and asked her to purchase some more Eclipses, and she reminded me to stop mixing my medications and that I still owe her $1000 and my bad kid for my Kentucky Derby losses. Merde.  


    She’ll have to wait, as I am Louboutin ankle deep in due diligence given my detective status in a cutting edge protocol. I orchestrated the investors in such a manner that Jump and Sequoia are co- leading both thinking they are the lead. The techstack is a Jesus Christ stroke of genius you see, a blockchain that already accomplishes what Avalanche does, both the token and the mountain, and tokenizes tasteful X - rated films using zk fruit rollups


    Said founder is a 23-year-old Stanford PhD dropout known for a physical fight with a tenured Professor over a heated debate surrounding an allegedly falsified email exchange between Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth Holmes and Queen Elizabeth. #DarkAcademia is where the crème de la crème of crypto emerges.  


    I digress. My guest. Wendy Diamond.  Entrepreneur. Author. Homeless Animal Saver. Founder. Crypto investor. Friends with Michael Saylor and the President of Mexico. W and I met at the Upper East Side’s Italian Consulate raising money for Teen Mums with poorly decorated homes, a noteworthy and underfunded cause. Wendy is the founder of Wedo a globally internationally reckoned with organization that empowers women from all walks of life to stay the heck away from poverty buy BTC, not dr*gs.  We immediately bonded over our love for empowering women from Gstaad to @Monaco to Moscow, the brilliance of a two state solution, and an undying obsession with Coinfund. 


    I knew Wendy was a glittering soul when I met her armed with her dog and infectious energy. She had daring ability to fight off a 5 year stalker while promoting homeless animal rights on the 2day Show. Like most eccentric, smokeshows deeply committed to ending sex slavery, she found Bitcoin. We discussed our thoughts on Merkle Trees and Hash Power and how taxes are ruining NYC. Bitcoin will save us from the bottom of Botswana to the 9th floor at Bloomingdale's 40 Karats. 


    Wendy is a force, with the energy of a preschooler  and will stop at nothing to educate, empower, and support, elevate and celebrate women. Wendy also has endless documented dating advice. She was truly a Rolls-Royce Royce L1 Raw Bitcoin Caviar kind of pod guest who gave me a run for my dwindling money with her humor. #GlitterLedger

  • Chairman of Coinshares Master Daniel Masters on Oil, Models, OG Crypto Glitterati, expanding into the US market

     New Sode of Glitter Ledger : Flooding of Crypto Arabian Nights

    Greetings from the Bul Jah Rab in Dubai where I’m bunking with Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud's wife; I’ve known her for years but I forget her name but we used do to off of the Gamma Gamma Gamma house at Ole Miss. I am in hiding from the Crypto Bros of Token2112 who want to stare at their phones, talk about nothing, and get a niche erotic experience from the Compliance Girls at TD Bank. 

    As an 18th Generation Jewish Girl,  I have always trusted Saudi Royalty. Alas, When I heard my dear friend Sheik’s wife, whose name I can’t recall, was on a Crypto Panel on the  Titled Wen will DofWifHat ETF be easily tradeable in Guantanamo Bay’s Black Market Silky Road,  I immediately fired up the jet in Coach straight to Dubai .

    Trudging through the floods of the UAE with my beat-up Rainbow Balmain Boots that I stole from a homeless man, I made it to a Glitter Ledger Safe house. Between Headwinds and Tailwinds and the Middle East, I am indeed most comfortable in torrential downpours, it’s the best time for a Ponzi Scheme. Cue Arabian Nights Aladdin 

    I digress. I made it to Glitter Ledger Safehouse Mumtaz Alhumdelay lah to greet my guest Master Daniel Masters Chairman of Coinshares, stepson of glamor model Deborah Moore and stepson to Bookmaker Gentleman Royalty “Butch” Victor Chandler respectively. That pedigree is something that NFT Solana Bera Hos like yours truly only dream about.  Alas if I wasn’t so loyal to his current ex-wife and so thirsty for sideways JP Morgan information. I would have gladly swooped in post settlement and become Mrs. Glitter Masters. Throughout this interview I neglected to ask Danny what Coinshares does. Daniel is OG status in the circles of Hal Finney and Gordon Gekko alike. We first met on a Cold Night in New York City at my Table at Raos knee Deep in the Obama era of terrorist fist pumps, alongside the Winklevoss twins; I could easily tell them apart due to my time I spent on the costume set of Full House differentiating between MaryKate and Ashley. 

    I digress, Master Masters in chock full of exciting stories that took place at all junctures of his career from the height of the oil commodity trading days when “oil traders have the most freaking fun” likely due to the ability to chainsmoke at your desk and ignore NATO to getting a Bitcoin tattoo amongst other global high net worths. He’s not your typical British elegance oil and finance bro with a semi-public divorce on a first name basis with Cypriot government; He’s actually Kind; and somewhat of a Renaissance man as he is fluent in Romanian and can harmonize with me in a perfect B flat Taylor Swift Cruel Summer. 

    Masters rose to the tippity top of the crypto Glitterati in a fashion reminiscent of the Spice Girls rise to fame; he serendipitously stumbled upon bitcoin after the oil commodities Superbowl and built Coinshares from the ground up to undoubtedly the most valuable companies in creepto. His conviction is that Bitcoin will be around in 10 years and the bank will not be makes me take pause; and consider reinvesting my oil back into BTC and ending my friendship with Jerome.

  • Chic Bitcoin Maximalism and Ordinals with Isabel Foxen Duke, General Partner of Unbroken Chain

    New Sode; Normally you would think NFTs are highly aligned with my values; art, fraud, scam, vapid, a sort of ponzi scheme for those without an MBA who majored in Visual Art and minored in Fascist Dance Theory. Alas, you’d be wrong, but only because they are so ugly and art auctions without paddles are without a semblance of adrenaline and theatrics. Pass.

      I’ve been saying since the Tony Blair Administration, that NFT NYC is the least relevant crypto society events, although not nearly as tragic as Tethered to Lake Cuomo. NFTs have always reeked of energy of those who missed the Solana boom and Uranium puts. I can just as easily screenshot a photo and post it on Instagram, hashtag Blockchain and NFT, print it out, Elmers glue some rainbow sprinkles, hang it next to my taxidermy and tell everyone it sold for 300k in a private sale in exchange for a gun and a few liquid AVAX gleaned from an underground subterfuge subnet. 

    Normally, I would stay safely in the confines of my zero knowledge existence high on opiates and dydx perp trades, with a side order of shorting Hut8 with my housekeeper, but I made an exception. The Duchess Isabella Duke of the Upper East Side, a fellow OG glitterati Gossip Girl Pon de Replay with a hot bod and pseudo ivy league degree in Bitcoin Maximalism and Ordinals was in town. Her background is startling. She was the Head Communications of Ordinals turned Bitcoin Venture Capitalist of Art for Bitcoins. Ordinals. These are real NFT’s, with serial numbers like prisoners ala Jean Valjean In Les Misérables #24601. 

     In my quest to discover what the fuck this industry actually does, as decentralized finance sounds like Communism with an impending Soviet invasion, I remain deeply skeptical of any financial system that is not Ronald Reagan’s trickle down voo doo economics.

    I trust Isabel. I have known her since we used to chainsmoke outside of the Met in Grade 8 instead of Shakespeare class because that is also how Gwyneth won the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. All the world’s a stage Satoshi. I have watched her career transform from Diet Coach to the Stars to her journey into Satoshi’s inner circle and cultivating real NFTs on Bitcoin. I relate to a manic pendulum of a career, except that I do not have one, but relate. As the General Partner of Unchained Fund, Isabel replete with her Armani business suit, and notable accolades, assured me that Bitcoin not crypto and Bitcoin with serialized art is very different than what I have been privy to. You see, serialed art on the scarce hard money asset like gold and oil that will bank the unbanked in its rarest and purest form like the blood of Jesus Christ , where it all started,  are actually really useful NFT’s and they are harder and better.  Like a poorly trained KGB agent on the brink of defectation, I grill Isabelle on the culture of Bitcoin Maximalism and ultimately try to understand how to make Maximalism chic. Ultimately, Bitcoin maximalists are gun loving, both meat and vegan eating philosophic cowboys with deeply passionate views on sovereignty and freedom. I asked Isabel if she thought Blockchains should talk to each other, like schizophrenics and like a true fellow brilliant sophisticated deeply thoughtful worldly woman, thought perhaps. 

    A brilliant sophisticated deeply thoughtful worldly woman, thought perhaps.  Maxi Culture is indeed chic with Isabel setting the tone.

  • Subprime Mortgages and Sublime Digital Assets with Steven Eisman

    New 'Sode of GlitterLedger with Steven Eisman 

     

    Alexis: Is there anything that you find appealing?

    Steven: About crypto?

    Alexis: Yeah

    Steven: Nothing 

    Alexis Zero

    Steven: Zero

    Alexis: Even the art?

    Steven: Nothing :D

     

    Fresh off of Eth Aspy and still High off of the altitude, and my own grandiose delusions, I have time to reflect on the groundbreaking takeaways of said conference. I have none. Well except to sell my SOL gains for Loubs and mix Lithium and Glitter in a blender From Duane Reade. 

     

    My conference was spent on a quest for the next billionaire knee deep in an algorithmic pegged to the yen Ponzi scheme based in a tax haven country with decent restaurants. 

     

    I am the most shameless fame seeker of my generation and would eat glass for the chance be instagrammed with a Household name, whether you created Optimism or Waitressed on Vanderpump Rules, or shorted sub prime mortgages; As long as you can fund the lifestyle to which I am accustomed I will love you endlessly. 

     

    Which brings me to my guest Steven Eisman, an unsung Hero of our time, best known for Steve Carell’s portrayal of him in The Big Short. The creation of Bitcoin is owed to the genius of Steven Eisman. Had he not predicted the mortgage collapse spurring the Financial crisis, nothing would have incentivized Craig Wright to write a White paper. 

     

     Steven and I first met on the set of the Big Short many years ago when I auditioned to play the role that ultimately went to Ryan Gosling. But I stayed on to help with Craft Services and organized the first cast after party at a college bar in New Orleans.

     

    Steven has had a fascinating existence and has had a tremendously successful career. His claim to fame beyond his full head of hair is for shorting collateralized debt obligations, and I'm working on a rap song to further educate. Cardi B you know where I'm at 

     

    Steven drops some advice on my crypto burgeoning hedgefund called Veni Vidi Vici Off Chain and I’m raising at a 10 billion dollar valuation FDV TVL LTP Safe 1:1 with a soft soft bank commitment. It’s a long, short very biased Staked Liquid ETH Strategy light on Stacks and Dogwif hats,)  

    And then he provides great (not) financial career advice, behind the scenes E True Hollywood takes on the film, and industries outside of digital assets that one could pay attention to if one can drag oneself away from DeFi meme pools. 

     

    Steven’s pedigree is a Jewish Girl’s Hinge dream what with his Harvard degree coupled with his employment as MD PM for Neuberger Berman’s Private Asset Management Divisj.  

     

    Beyond blockchain’s goal of creating an underpinning of a new financial infrastructure, it is that girls in crypto end up a with a man like this. There is an ordinal written in the Genesis Block after the Brink of Collapse that spells this out. Steven’s other wisdom besides “ Incentives trump ethics every time, ” is that he does not own any crypto but he has also been wrong. He has also been very right. #GlitterLedger

  • Viv Ford; Head of Community at Aleo and Star of New Kids on the Blockchain

    New Sode Of Glitter Ledger. After leaving the IVY Penn Blockchain’s AA meeting in preparation for #ETHAspy, I was filled with mass dread. I’m in regular attendance of AA meetings not because I’m sober but because feel most at home listening to stories about rich people ruining their families. Speaking of DAO's, when token AA?

     

    At #EthAspy,
    I plan on meeting with low tier movers and shakers of slick projects yielding
    more yield and less masculinity.  I will be posted at the St Regis
    PentHouse prepping for my Fireside chat RWAs and Issues on and cross my #VanCleef
    Chains moderated by my dear friend Lizzie Theranos via zoom.

    I will also be rooming with Hester Prynn
    and Hester Pierce where we’ll order Dom and charge it to the SEC and Nathaniel
    Hawthorne. We may also:

    Take quaaludes, 

    Do dramatic readings of the Bitcoin White
    Paper in a Putin accent 

    Watch 80s clips of Margaret Thatcher on
    C-span. 

     

    I digress, my guest today is none other than fellow internationally critically acclaimed comedian and Duchess of Privacy and Community at Aleo, @Viv Ford. Aleo has nothing to do with my secretary’s font and everything to do with my privacy from the paparazzi, OFAC and Zero Knowledge, my specialties. Viv's back story, like Aleo, is rife with
    intrigue, secrecy, and (zk)Snark. Her story began where she bunked with a
    bakers dozen of fellow crypto bros before the term was synonymous with morons
    at the infamous Crypto Castle. This sounds like the type of elegant porn I may
    have worked on in the lighting department during my thespian days, but she
    assures me I am mistaken. 

     

    As, all of the original GoodFellas of Crypto Castle have left the ‘space’, as the ecosystem transitioned from a subculture anarchist movement to a gloriously sensical Perp -trading -Dex Bridge- making -DePin -my -Rollup -Bridge to hell chaotic group of Sers who are in it for the Ferraris and the chance to get laid by NFT artisans; which is personally much more meaningful.

     

    Viv however, saw past both the niche subculture of anarchists and the Ferrari seekers and continued on her journey spreading the good word of decentralization across multiple countries with good wine. Upon this mission, she stumbled upon what really matters, keeping spending your money on Botox, bedazzled guns, and erectile dysfunction medication private.  Aleo is essentially the CIA of crypto where you only
    have to say just a little to prove who you are, or who you are not. 

     

    Viv is responsible for the discord on discord by crowning people ambassadors of Grants on Aleo. I met her after attending her show #NewKidsontheBlockchain
    in Gstaad and its clear her improv craft is tailored to the elite and confused. The way she articulates her responsibilities at Aleo border on poetic and drops so many chilling one liners of realness and truth, it almost made me wonder if she did not actually work in crypto.

  • Finding Serenity in Crypto Risk Management with CEO of Cloudwall Kyle Downey

    New Sode of Glitter Ledger Season 3 Episode 4 with Kyle Downey.  It’s been a busy week with Airdrops of Jupiter in her hair not found at Fredrick Fekkai and other insufferable tragedies.  I’ve been on the lam in between Gstaad and Sidi Bou Said with ample bosom time to short the Vix, chainsmoke and ponder matters that have been plaguing my icy yet asbergers soul

    -Is there Valium in the metaverse?

    -Should I do the Monologue from Fight Club when describing my investment thesis? 

    -Would well-dressed commies have supported decentralization?

    -Do Merkle Trees grow in Palm Beach?

    -Can you rip cigs on a (poorly decorated) private plane?

    -Why aren’t their more female led high thread count rug pulls?

    Then, I changed the sign above my stepdaughter’s canopy bed from Live Laugh Love to Read Write Own painted by my dear friend Jeff Koons.  I came to the painstaking realization that we are indeed in the Taylor Swift New Era of l’internet. Why? Because if le bebe can can become OnlyFans celebrity on Urbit, trade perps on Dexes, and achieve gains that ultimately finance a home in Mustique alongside Princess Marge, and Jae Kwon, then I must release my misconception that any smart contract needs to be reviewed by my Attorney. 

    I digress, Back at Glitter Ledger Headquarters, reminiscing over a former lover who was the Head of Risk Management at Lehman brothers, I realize that if I want my stepdaughter to have a profitable Web3 Only Fans career, then I must become risk averse diverse head nurse.

    I thought of no guest more appropriate than a former high tiered Morgan Stanley Does Asia IT Quant, with a light stint on Silicon Alley, turned Risk Crypto Entrepreneur. Kyle Downey CEO of Cloudwall. He gives Daddy of DeFi energy with not quite silver hair that is palpable and respected. 

    We met at the St Regis during an Aave Flashloans and Dog Lover meet up  I posted on a dark web subeddit thread hosted by me and my nanny. 

    Wearing beat up Louboutins I described my fervent anger there were no sophisticated digital asset risk management platforms for my Quasi Family Office in Guantanamo Bay.  This dapper older man dressed in his own Crypto merch and rich person glasses recognized an incoming panic attack. Serenity, he explained is not only a mindset but a tool that can help you maintain the lifestyle to which you are accustomed.

     

     He went to explain that I could use a state-of-the-art software to efficiently manage intricate portfolios of my digital assets, alongside onlyfans on Urbit to predict where I could fail.. All I need is Serenity, indeed. Read Write Own. Thank you Kyle.

  • Cosmos is Noble and Stable with Jelena Djuric

    New Sode of Glitter Ledger Season 3 Episode 3 with yet another fabulous Celestial Eastern European hailing deep from the Cosmos of Serbia Jelena Djuric - Founder of #Noble. Noble is part of the chaotic organized cult of Cosmos, the Internet of Blockchains, maintaining disruptive sovereignty like Burning Man-  Bad Kids. Cosmos is easy to get into like the Soho House in Gstaad. Noble is known for being the native asset issuance network for Circle’s USDC stablecoin in the Cosmos ecosystem. Duh. 


    Jelena is a unique founder in Cosmos in that she is beautiful has not been blacklisted by CNBC. We bonded over our shared love of classic baroque Monolithic Architecture of the Ritz in Tulum and the interoperability of rich people drumming. 


    Forgive me for shattering the modular 4th wall for a nano, but my recent introductions to the podcasts have stirred deep reactions from all spectrums of asbergers; mostly from my family who have subtly suggested that I return to my suite at Belleview, if not for the wine list but also for a tune up. Whilst its crystal meth clear I have unrelenting obsession with legalizing euthanasia and figuring out where I should roll up my #zeroknowledge, like all great art I should disturb the uncomfortable. 


    In a generation where attention spans last the length of a Presidential meme, it is deeply curious that people read more than the first sentence. Alas, I realize that LinkedIn is for showcasing meaningless accolades of Dartmouth Business degrees, $155k thousand-dollar job announcements with healthcare not covering fillers or astrology, and musings of your plagiarized thoughts on ETFs, I think that there should be room made for joys of light inside decentralized trading and jazz.

    I digress.- Jelena of Noble is the noblest of Cosmos Crypto -a Modern Day Barbara Howard I dream of Genie in a bottle Christina Aguilera #IBC #BFT #RWA Princess Bad Kid Hashtag Hashnote who presents her career trajectory with raw authenticity, spills heavy drama of her favorite Cosmos Japanese Omakase Whales and childhood stories of Vitalik. .

  • Glitter Ledger Season 3 Episode 2: Keys to Institutional Crypto Sales with Kemet Trading's Kyle Trimble

    Fresh off the Bezos boat of Bitcoin #ETF’s and who the fuck cares, I went to the Zoolander DAIE spa for a claw manicure to ward off my stalker. Much to my deep disturbance, Manicurist is leaving the manicure industry to focus solely on her career as a perp trading influencer on #dYdX v4. I asked her why I would ever engage in peer-to-peer trading when my peers are largely sophisticated pseudo ivy league educated jewel-smoking narcissistic alcoholic Adderall fueled contemporaries who would no sooner spill my darkest secrets in exchange for a spot at Horace Man for their offspring. Unclear.
    The notion on Notion that my (father’s) hard earned cash is better managed by SushiSwap over the light sex trafficking accused  meaninglessly regulated tradFi institution is beyond my realm of comprehension.
    Ipso facto, With #ZeroKnowledge Alcohol proof, I must continue on my God appointed quest to solve Jon Benet Ramsey’s murder with my #baccarat magnifying glass as well examine peer to peer trading and kreepto derivs.
    Alas, I am pleased to have decorated crème de la creme Advanced Sales and Strategy expert Mr. Kyle Trimble Kyle is a web3 Don Draper. He has been divinely blessed by his ability to make every cold prospect his deepest most treasured friend and his best men will encompass the entire defunct Genesis trading desk. He is a Renaissance man, what with is his burgeoning underground DJ career and Degen Solana Shitcoin trading strategies reminiscent of RainMan.
    Every single respectable woman of crypto, of which there are 12, has a deep seated unhealthy sexual obsession with Kyle, and it is for good reason; Here's my backstory. I met Kyle in the late 90s in the height of high frequency commoditized Somalian children trading during the children’s Men’s Fashion Week in Milano.
    Neither of us were chosen in the final round to walk the runway, a freakish decision -what with Kyles impossibly high cheek bones and lithe European figure, and my sporadic bulimia and keen ability to speak inflected mob like 4th grade Italian re Donatella Margherita Missoni Pizza grazie mille.
    Even though our failed modeling careers were a personal affront, I went on to pursue an intellectual career in beverage commercial work. Kyle is nearly single handedly responsible for making The Tie a household name while still maintaining an impressive following in the house music underground club circuit of Medellin where he cannot get a Sangria without being accosted. His most recent prestigious day job includes trading derivatives of derivatives of kreepto at Kemet Trading. During this episode, Kyle corrects many of my fervent misunderstandings.

    Per example, #KeanuReeves is not associated with Matrixport, being cheap fast and easy only works on Solana and in Dubai, and Delta Hedging has nothing to do with sorority and fraternity pledging.

  • Glitter Ledger Season 3 Episode 1 Just Enough DeFi to Be Dangerous with Origin Protocol's Andra Nicolau

    New Episode of Glitter Ledger; Season 3 Episode 1. Happy New Year or whatever- here’s to restorative healing and excess cash with Andra Nicolau.

     Here's what I know. For Dry January I am off my self-prescribed mixture of Prozac and Viagra and am thus in rare form.  During Christmas holiday in between #Eigenlayer and misery, I posted a thirsty photo of myself in a trophy wife one piece off the coast of Sidi Bou Said with my squad of Solana Berachain NFT semi college educated contemporaries changing the financial system and banking the unfortunate and ugly and or unbanked one Smoky Bear Bored Ape at a time. It’s clear I struggle with my vapid journey of finding financial freedom outside my alimony. Alas, dare I ask.. are there really funds outside of my low tier JP Morgan Private Banker’s advice and put options placed on Robinhood whilst high on meth(amphetamines)? Is it REALLY possible that alternative earnings exist within #DecentralizedFinance that will allow me to maintain the lifestyle to which I am accustomed? T-B-DAY. 

    I digress; Andra and I met many years ago at a White House Gala during the brief but deeply influential; political stint of Lord Mooch when he served as Director of Communications. His departure was a critical error in American History’s time that will be studied for years to come. While I would eat glass for any of the Trump family members, this was a grave mistake but I and God forgive.

    Enough about me. 

    I immediately noticed Andra’s incredibly crazy cool icy sexy Eastern European demeanor and could tell she was well bred due to her posture, handbag thread count, and her indifference amongst US A-List politicians. Andra and I are quite different though, she is a University of California, Berkeley math aficionado whereas I am trying to bedazzle the blockchain and solve the #PythagoreanTheorem 

    Andra speaks a plethora of languages including solidity and throughout this conversation we covered her career colorful global career highlighting her stint at 1inch which is better than it sounds re performance, all the way to the tippity top of where she is now. Serving as the head of BD and Strategy at Origin Protocol

    At Origin, one can earn even more yield on top of one's yield #oETH. I probed her incessantly on how she deals with being incredibility hot in a male dominated field in sea of deranged tech bro wannabe Winklevoss Musks who cant find your you know what or give you a proper

    raise. 

    Ipso facto, this convo was a phenomenal way to start out the new year, even if I'm dry.. everywhere. Andra is not afraid of trusting smart contract security instead of or alongside your low tier JP Morgan Banker, the cutthroat competitive albeit entertaining cult of women in web3 and letting go of the wildly unnecessary self doubt and negative talk. I wish for you dear what Andra gave me; the fearlessness to be myself and speak my truth as phony and pretentious as I very well may be. #GlitterLedger #OriginProtocol #WomenInDeFi #WellReadWellBred

  • Rayscale: Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary Managing Director at Grayscale Investments

    Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary  is formerly an  Ultra UBS tradFI hustler turned crypto boss At Grayscale Investments, with a penchant for collaborative regulation, investment products that access that digital economy, and mid to advanced level icy skiing. We met in the airport lounge en route to Burkina Faso when she kindly offered me a breath mint and glass cleaner for my J12, neither of which I have returned. We immediately shared a bond of traditional leveraged Financed Sales, getting lost in the Metaverse, Wagner Operas  and subtly recognizing each other’s pedigreed pseudo ivy league existences. We would be long time friends. Allegedly.  I have a lot to learn from Ray, she is one of the few women leaders in crypto who strikes critical balance of a nurturing Managing Director with a side order of the perfect ingredients  of fear and obsession without being disturbing. It’s a common thread that everyone in the digital asset space holds a deeply unhealthy obsession with their CEO or counter dauphine. 

    I could go on and on about premiums and discounts and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and the OJ lawsuit. But I take a pause to leverage my SOL and let Ray explain. In the meantime, I will  focus on my strengths of asking rappers for financial advice and educating the masses thru humor and selective fact checking. In sum, Grayscale is THE crypto asset manager, they offer 18  products, notably GBTC, and sued the SEC when it rejected its transition into an ETF.  According to Ray and court records that I didn’t read, the negotiations are going tremendously as the application is currently being reviewed; WAGMI.  Ray is enviously clear on her vision for Grayscale and her team both in and out of Grayscale Decentraland, which in Ray’s world is designed  with neo gothic / mid century furniture giving a Joan Didion meets Diana Vreeland aesthetic.  Ray drops vital liquid gold bars of advice on how to be a powerful, elegant yet woman in the workplace,  advice I wish I didn’t need as I was not planning on working and living off of my dwindling Filecoin ICO, and alimony. Alas, if you picked up anything from this episode is that Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is one of the first securities solely and passively invested in Bitcoin (“BTC”) that enables investors to gain exposure to BTC in the form of a security while avoiding the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping BTC, directly and this episode and anything we say is not not not financial advice. #GlitterLedger #WomenInCrypto #GBTC #SeeYouSeason3 #SeeYouInCourt
