#50 Joe Carlesare - Bitcoin, Law & Macro

Today's episode is with Joe Carlesare, a litigation attorney and partner at Amundsen Davis LLC who is an active investor and proponent of Bitcoin since 2015.

As a former lawyer, it was refreshing talking to someone who has their finger on the pulse when it comes to all things Bitcoin and law.

This was a wide-ranging conversation on all manner of topics from macro through to Bitcoin and crypto litigation matters of the day. Overall, I found Joe to be highly credible, informed and a delight to chat to - frankly, could have spoken with him for hours!
