An unassuming, wise man. Chris has been involved with Bitcoin for many years and has an idea of where things are going and how to get there. Listen for a fresh perspective on the crypto craze.

Two of the most prevalent problems in analysis of crypto:

1. Allegiance to a blockchain - as a fan of X coin, your arguments are emotionally driven

2. Lack of historical perspective - lessons from other technological shifts

Chris is aware of both of these problems and has a unique perspective on how to think about the future going forward. I learned a ton both as an investor and a believer in the purpose of cryptocurrencies.
