Jeff Dorman, the chief investment officer at Arca, comes on the show to give a macro perspective on the crypto environment. In this episode, he discusses:

how economic data and real-world events have affected digital assets
how Jeff classifies the different types of assets within crypto
what market forces have pushed ETH to new all-time highs above $4k
whether EIP 1559 will have the same effect on ether price as the Bitcoin halving has on BTC price
what is happening with Dogecoin and other meme-coins
why the market’s reaction to Tesla’s halt of BTC vehicle purchases was healthy
whether environmental concerns surrounding Bitcoin will have long-term consequences on crypto as an asset class
