We’ve chatted multiple times over the years but most recently back in 2018 with your first crypto startup, Strix Leviathan. For those who haven’t heard from you before, how about a quick introduction and background. Topic 2 - By now, everyone has heard of crypto and it seems these days, everyone has an opinion on crypto. What got you started in the space and what prompted you to spin off a second company from Strix Leviathan, the new company is Makara. Topic 3 - What are the most common misconceptions and objections you run across these days in the crypto space?Topic 4 - Before we dig into Makara and what is different there. What are your thoughts on differences between tokens? There are many different spaces and types. Layer 0, Layer 1, Layer 2… Does this matter to the average person or is Bitcoin the same as Ethereum?Topic 5 - Tell everyone a little bit about Makara and why it is different?Topic 6 - To bring this back around to the previous question on types of crypto and categories. Tell everyone about Makara’s concept of baskets for categories and how do you decide on groupings and when do you introduce new baskets?Topic 7 - Because of the interest in this space, there are lots of people out there giving bad advice and trying to make a quick buck. Most of the dedicated podcasts covering this space are horrible I’ve found. If someone was new and wanted to get started, where would you go? FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet
