From gaming guppy to Orca whale, this week we’re talking to Tetranode. Who is this whale man? Well, he’s an anonymous DeFi billionaire who has been a part of and has shaped the crypto world since the early days of the space. 

Not everyone is a whale, but everyone is definitely trying to become one. If you dream of becoming a whale one day, this episode is your blueprint. We uncover all of Tetranode’s whale secrets, such as why farmers are the best alpha, why he’s team Ethereum vs. team Alt Layer 1s, and of course—Tetranode’s advice on becoming a whale yourself.
