This week's episode is a compilation of the best audio clip highlights, talks, and discussions from Consensus: Invest.

If you didn't attend Consensus: Invest, or you haven't heard of it, it was the very first conference for institutional investors focused on cryptoassets, and it happened at the end of 2017 in New York City.

For today's roundtable discussion, we are joined by Taylor Pearson and Dhruv Bansal from Unchanied Capital. You might remember Taylor from a previous episode. He's a popular essayist and the author of The End of Jobs. Dhruv is the co-founder of Unchained Capital. Unchained Capital is a service that lets you take out a cash loan on your crypto assets so you can benefit from your Bitcoin wealth without having to sell your favorite investment.

In this episode, we've recapped Consensus Invest and compiled our favorite audio clips and discussions from the event.  This episode is the next best thing to attending in person.

Topics include:

  • Thoughts on a talk about cryptocurrency as a new asset class.
  • The evolution of Bitcoin and how it has been used since its inception.
  • Our take on a fascinating panel about cryptocurrency taxation.
  • Some compelling existential bear cases for the cryptocurrency space.
  • How institutions can gain exposure to the cryptocurrency asset class.
  • What the general vibe was in the hallway of this event.
  • How much the event has changed in the last year and a half.
