In this episode, we’re joined by Matt from Intuition, and Roland from Mechanism Capital! We discussed how things have changed from previous cycles, bankers stealing our coins, and the most interesting aspects of Crypto x AI. We also got Matt and Roland’s thoughts on avoiding noise in the market, and crypto’s next killer use case. Finally, we asked ourselves, where are we in the current cycle?
