We’re All Wasting Our Lives on Crypto and Everyone’s Crashing Out
Last week felt like maybe some of the worst sentiment we've seen across the industry in a long time and we even felt it ourselves. This week we're discussing the chatter online from some chap who says he's wasted his prime years on crypto and is now pivoting to be a philanthropist or something, dunno. Anyway, do we agree? Or is it just another crash out when the market takes a turn? Plus Jeff defends ADL on Hyperliquid in a new public spat and Cobie says CT is garbage these days. Talking about it all. Find our Yeet sign up links on YouTube or over on Twitter @blocmates. Enjoy.
