The media is rife with stories of crumbling crypto empires. From mismanagement to outright malfeasance, individuals have suffered financial losses. Like the untamed territories of the wild west characterizing the early days of novel industries, the nascent stages of crypto were no different. However, when financial harm becomes widespread, government regulators step in. As a result, federal intervention is now underway. This raises the question: "How will governmental oversight impact the broader crypto landscape and individual financial decisions?"
Today's guest, Peter Eberle, has extensive experience in portfolio management, derivatives, trading, and risk management. He joins us today to discuss what increasing regulations for crypto mean for the industry, the appeal behind independent crypto movements, regulations and impact on DeFi, and personal finance and crypto-based assets.
