Episode notes

I think he was the one out there being like, well, crypto is mostly bullshit. Cause he was basically saying, yeah, it's lots of time. And for me, that I read this situation completely wrong was like, oh, okay, that guy actually knows what he's talking about. He does know what he'stalking about because he's doing it. Like he very much knows allshit. It's amazing how he came to believe that this was almost just a means to an end and like it kind of spiraled out of control. If not, right, if they hadn't, I can't imagine they would have willingly volunteered for a board or anything else.

In the 42nd episode, Zach Weinberg returns to have everything he’s said about crypto suddenly proven right. Logan and Zach break down FTX, DeFi, SBF and venture’s role in it all. Plus why you can’t spot a successful company in finance like you can in tech, what makes a smart founder, and Rashad joins to help recap the last week of Elon and Twitter.
