About this episode
In this episode of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills discusses guest Ivan Brightly’s time being partnered with Galaxy Digital. Galaxy began as a hedge fund that has since shifted its scope to become the “Goldman-Sachs of Crypto”. Ivan discusses his experience with the company before his departure in January. The pair discuss the impact that ETFs are having and may continue to have on cryptocurrency markets. In addition to that impact, ETFs have the potential to bring centralization to the market. Brad and Ivan debate about Coinbase being anti-bitcoin and whether or not it remains true to libertarian philosophies. Finally, the two share their lessons learned over the past few cycles and share their crypto portfolio experiences.
