Episode notes

RFK: I worked for this company called New Alchemy, which was a big number of ICOs. And then everything ground to a halt when we realized that all these ICOs that we're doing are securities. So my old boss and a few other of his investor friends have offered $125 million for CoinDesk. It's because parent company DCG has been in some financial trouble recently.
