In this week's episode, Mark and I kick things off with a cool bit of financial history: Goldman's buy rating of Enron three weeks before it collapsed. I love this piece because it opened the door to chatting about one of my favorite documentaries of all time, "The Smartest Guys in the Room." Mark of course was around at the time and knew folks involved on the short side, so it was particularly interesting to get his take here. That conversation segwayed into a discussion of Tesla, and the thin line between visionary and fraud (shout out Bethany McLean). Mark and I somewhat disagreed on this, but I respect his opinion and I think we aligned by the end. Next we covered one of the more interesting trends happening in America today: everyone is quitting their jobs! We got into why that might be happening, which led to a discussion of the hustle and grit of China compared to the contemporary US. Finally we kicked things off with our two stories of the week: 1. The launch of the bitcoin futures ETF 2. Coinbase's NFT marketplace For the full discussion on these last two items, you're gonna have to watch the video yourself :) -- Ledger: This episode is brought to you by Ledger, your secure gateway to buy, exchange and grow your crypto.
