Episode #144 Crypto in Brazil: A Gringo's Perspective

Olá pessoal!Greetings from Buenos Aires where the Merge BA conference has just concluded. It was great to connect with readers and listeners from around the region throughout the week. Today’s episode is a Portuguese language crossover that I recorded with João Pedro Malar, host of Exame’s Future of Money podcast — one of the most influential crypto podcasts in Brazil. We discuss my experiences and views on crypto in Brazil having covered it for three years via this newsletter and podcast, and we talk about some other recent market developments. While I’m obviously more comfortable speaking in English, this was a fun opportunity to share more about my story and why I’ve invested the last decade of my life into building a career in crypto. I try to avoid talking about myself too much, but this was a fun episode where I had the chance to share more of my personal and professional story. I hope you enjoy!
