Episode notes

CNN's John Defterios goes through the process of buying shares in a crypto company. He does his homework to find out what he is getting himself into, and how it will work for him. But at the end of the day, you're not going to be able to get your hands on anything that isn't already owned by someone else. The only people who are allowed to buy this kind of thing are those with access to their own financials or information from other companies.

Lux Capital’s Josh Wolfe joins to discuss startups in the current market, and the long-awaited release of the crypto debate between Zach Weinberg and Slow Venture’s Sam Lessin that got so heated we weren’t sure we could publish it.
