• Talking Crypto Daily

Jeff Dorman, CFA @jdorman81

Our internal slack @arca is blowing up with tons of positive (FTX raise, JPM, Openseas, etc) & negative (the usual) articles. Takeaway? EVERY news outlet & investor in the world is now talking about digital assets, every day. Betting against growth from here would be insane.
