David: Are they completely dependent on us, or have they been able to do that already? Is looking at personality something you think differentiates you? Or do you think you don't?

Yes, i think personality is a very large part of what we look at and evaluate.

Welcome back, this week Lucas and Anita dive into a conversation around Coinbase’s legal woes and the insider trading scandal surrounding an employee at the firm. We also discussed Elon Musk’s bitcoin sale and Minecraft’s ban of NFTs from its platform.
