ABOUT

CoinDesk reporter Cameron Thompson’s piece, “A Crypto Bro Walked Into a Wall Street Bar, and It Went Just Fine,” details the physical intermingling of both crypto and traditional finance (TradFi) industry professionals at a networking event.

Thompson joins “Opinionated” hosts Ben Schiller and Danny Nelson as the trio discuss the ways in which crypto culture differs from the rules of the traditional financial world, often by design. As institutional adoption of crypto continues, will the two industries’ cultures begin to merge together?
