In this episode of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills discusses guest Ivan Brightly’s time being partnered with Galaxy Digital. Galaxy began as a hedge fund that has since shifted its scope to become the “Goldman-Sachs of Crypto”. Ivan discusses his experience with the company before his departure in January. The pair discuss the impact that ETFs are having and may continue to have on cryptocurrency markets. In addition to that impact, ETFs have the potential to bring centralization to the market. Brad and Ivan debate about Coinbase being anti-bitcoin and whether or not it remains true to libertarian philosophies. Finally, the two share their lessons learned over the past few cycles and share their crypto portfolio experiences.

Nearly 3 months ago in May 2019 when Bitcoin price was about $7900, I met Mario at a carnivore dinner in Toronto and brought him along to do a crossover podcast episode with my standup comedian buddy Bryan O'Gorman.

We discuss what it's like doing standup overseas, Bitcoin basics from Bryan's point of view, whether being your own bank is a good or bad thing as well as a wide range of other financial & political topics.

Nick Beaton is the host of "Third Rail with Nick Beaton: A Comedy Guide To Social Outrage" https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/third-rail-with-nick-beaton-a-comedy-guide-to-social-outrage/id1433019681

I listen to Nick's podcast often and we decided to do a crossover episode.

Nick doesn't know anything about bitcoin, we discuss the basics of cryptocurrency and I try to convince Nick that Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme.

We then get into social & political discussion including my skepticism over how MSM reports and controls the narrative, how I think the Trump Mueller investigation is just distraction from more impactful issues, and the implications of the Assange arrest.

This episodes dips more into social & political issues because that's what Nick is an expert in.
