SBF Betrayal and FTX Contagion | TradFi to DeFi Episode 15
It's been a rough week in crypto markets! SBF has betrayed the trust of his customers and taken the entire industry with him. The ensuing contagion from the FTX collapse has left many wondering "how exactly did we get here?". In today's episode, we answer this question and more. Was this a result of the Terra Luna collapse earlier this year? What was the relationship between SBF, Alameda and FTX? And where do we go from here?
As some in the industry prepare for more negative news to come, we remain optimistic and offer our thoughts on where the industry can go from here.

Lessons from Yield Farming and IRL Farming - Lessons in Sustainability | TradFi to DeFi Episode 13
Today’s video is a special feature from our co-founder Farmer John. When he’s not yield farming in crypto, he’s farming cattle in ‘the real world’. At TradFi to DeFi, we’re focused on the cutting edge but that doesn’t mean we don’t keep one foot tethered firmly in reality. And that’s why I’m so grateful to John and his efforts to keep us focused on the things that truly matter. Enjoy! — Tyler, TradFi to DeFi Co-Founder
