You may have seen the headlines back in 2021 about a guy who put all of his money into Dogecoin and became a millionaire...but then...well I'll let Chris tell you the story. 


THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE is a documentary film that has had brilliant reviews across the board (no.3 on Apple TV) and premiered at Tribeca 2023. 


In this conversation we talk about the film, which follows the personal stories of this generation's approach to money in the age of the internet. 
We also talk about the bigger themes going on at the moment - the cost of living, why the younger generations feel almost forced to take more risk, fear and greed, fomo and where we go next. 


This was an awesome chat, so thank you Chris for coming on. I can wholeheartedly recommend this film whether you're in this world or not, it is a brilliant (and at times harrowing) watch.

William Quigley is the co-founder of Tether aka the first fiat-backed stablecoin and most traded cryptocurrency to date and the co-founder of WAX - one of the most used blockchains in the world with over 10 million active users and 20 million transactions per day.
