Episode notes

There are certain things that tend to drive the narrative of certain crypto currencies. It's just like these one liners or these little things that effectively are marketing slogans for the particular asset. And often the narratives are overly simplisitic. But it's important to keep in mind that it's al within the greater contexts of other securities that exist out there.

At a time where several asset classes are at all-time highs, there's a lot of talk about whether we're in a bubble. That, coupled with crypto assets falling to ~half of their highs, prompted Cal and Steph to dive in to try to answer this question.

In this episode, they discuss the markings of past bubbles, the innovation hype cycle, the difficulty in profiting from nascent innovations, the importance of educating yourself and building your own conviction behind your decisions, managing your psychology (offense vs defense), the cyclical nature of market cycles, and of course... the burning question of whether they think we're in a bubble today.

They also share how they've fared in crypto and how they're thinking about investing moving forward (including Cal's foray into de-fi)
