Transcript Ep. 434: 2022 in Review + How Cobie and Chris Burniske Are Playing the New Year

Laura Shin:

Hey, everyone. My idea for this episode was that it would be a year in review with Chris Burniske and Cobie, one that I expected to be a doozy after the many collapses of crypto endured in 2022. However, they ended up talking a fair bit about where the industry is going, which seemed an appropriate question for this soul-searching moment in crypto. I hope you enjoy this look back and look forward. A year from now we will find out whether the industry has not only learned but incorporated the lessons of 2022. And now, enjoy this conversation with Chris and Cobie.
