HODL That Thought Podcast #10: How exchanges are future-proofing
It’s Marc’s final ride as he heads off into the sunset and toward total obscurity. To send him off in style, we chat about our Bitcoin apocalypse plans, the ongoing saga of Craig Wright and how out-of-work actors can score a gig playing downtrodden financiers at crypto conferences.
We also speak to Cryptopia CEO Alan Booth about how exchanges are future-proofing and becoming more efficient.
All this, plus what Liz plans to do with her sack full of severed hands!
