Skigod's Journey | From Poker to TradFi to Crypto & Does $35 Trillion in Debt Matter?

Decentral Lens

In this special deep dive episode, Skigod shares his fascinating journey from poker to crypto trading and shares valuable lessons he learned along the way. Starting as a poker player, Skigod realized that he wasn't destined for greatness in the field and pivoted to traditional finance and trading.

He recounts his experiences in trad-fi, discussing the pivotal moments and lessons learned during his first year and a half before scoring his first big win. These insights shaped his perspective on crypto, teaching him the importance of staying true to himself when evaluating opportunities and avoiding the pitfalls of FOMO (fear of missing out).

The conversation then delves into Skigod's transition to the crypto space, including a compelling story about his initial interest in Ethereum and the advice he received from traditional traders to invest more than he was comfortable with. This leads to another noteworthy encounter with Dan Bilzerian, where Skigod learned valuable lessons about risk and opportunity.

Finally, the discussion touches on questions surrounding the U.S. debt and its potential implications for investors and positioning.
