Mike Novogratz needs no introduction for long-time crypto natives. He's a fund manager who was early to bitcoin, very early to ethereum, built an entire digital assets empire called Galaxy Digital and has spent the last 10 years evangelizing crypto to Wall Street and, more recently, DC.
We cover how Crypto has evolved from 2014 to 2024, Wall Street’s current perception of our industry, the recent ETH ETF launch, Politics, and Macro.
Mike ends the episode giving extremely important advice for young investors so stay tuned👇
While EthCC does, of course, center around Ethereum, a lot of the conversations I had in Brussels earlier this month and the major takeaways I brought back with me, spanned the entire crypto ecosystem.
With so many smart people occupying one city and so many side events at my disposal, it really was a choose-your-own-adventure for digging into niche interests. I spent a lot of my time talking with fellow attendees about how Ethereum's L2s and other Alt-L1s would respond to Solana's rise, what decentralized AI needs to take off, how to navigate the landscape of endless new chains, and how to prepare for big launches like 
Berachain and Monad.
Let’s dive into my takeways from the conference 👇
