Prepare Yourself For The Crypto Bull Run | The Edge Podcast

Austin Barack is a Partner in Venture & Liquid Investments at CoinFund.

In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview a crypto veteran and full-time investor about all the emerging sectors in DeFi and Web3 you need to know about next crypto bull run including Ethereum L2s, ETH LSTs, LSTfi, the ETH burn (EIP-1559 and its impact on the future ETH supply), Bitcoin DeFi, and the intersection of crypto and AI.

Having begun investing at the age of 10 back in 2001, Austin is a rare breed who has lived through multiple crypto bull/bear cycles, with a background in traditional finance, and lots of lessons for investors wondering when the next crypto bull run will come and how to prepare!
