The Collision of Venture Capital and Retail Investors in Crypto

✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-regan-bozman-interview 

------ Today we explore the frontier of Venture Capitalists vs Retail Investors, are they at war? That’s exactly what we debate on the show with crypto writer and VC Regan Bozman.

Lots of questions to be asked on this episode: - Is crypto experiencing an identity crisis? - Are memecoins a reaction to VCs - Why is the current wave of Airdrops broken?. - Is attention more important than fundamentals? - Where do we go from here?

It’s about time to gain some clarity into what’s really happening in the crypto space.
