Emma says she plays the contarion finding, a pretty unpopular fethesis an investment is. She tries to work out in niches that people aren't looking at and attention really isn't on it. I'll hold a position for as long as they're still oppsite, though i may pair down hi size as it becomes too large relative to the rest of my portfolio. "I almost never short, because i'm just pretly terrible at it," she adds....
Today, I’m not only joined by a very special guest, but the format of this episode is highly unusual as well! I interviewed the man who goes by the name @DegenSpartan on Twitter and who is one of the biggest and most enigmatic Defi investors there is. I have wanted to have him on for a long time, but there was one problem: DegenSpartan, or DS in short, is fully pseudonymous and did not even want to have his voice known.
So we looked for a solution and ended up doing a text interview instead. Then I got Patrick McCorry (@paddypisa on Twitter) to speak the part of DS in the final recording, while I spoke my own part. At this point, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who reached out to us on Twitter and offered their help to make this episode a reality.
I get that this isn’t your average podcast, and you can go and read the text interview instead if you want, but I think Paddy did a fantastic job and the final product came out great. Please enjoy!
Discussed in this interview:
DS: Degenerate or prudent investor?
How he managed to recognize (and sell) the top in Defi
His approach to investing
Becoming Synthetix' patient zero
Why he dislikes Maker, YFI, and governance tokens in general
and more!
