Technical Analysis is Just Horoscopes for Chart People feat. Andrew Ancheta
About this episode
This week I interviewed Andrew Ancheta (@TrampAbroad1), a freelance journalist who previously wrote for crypto publications, but most recently wrote an article in the leftwing journal Current Affairs called The Crypto Casino. It's a great article, and I don't say that just because I'm featured in it :). The article is in the currently most recent issue of Current Affairs (Issue 27, September-October 2020) so be sure to check it out. You can purchase the issue here.
During the interview we talk about his experience in working in crypto media during the ICO boom, what it was like to now write an article about crypto from a leftist perspective, and how technical analysis is essentially horoscopes for people into charts. We're not all doom and gloom about the crypto space however and talk about some of the things that Andrew is most excited about, like DAOs.

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.
The book is officially published and you use this linktree to find where you can purchase the book based on your region / country.
