E109: Meltem Demirors: Why Speculation Drives Crypto (And How To Win The Game) 1:32:06

5 weeks ago1:32:06

1:32:06

In this episode, I sit down with one of crypto's most insightful investors, Meltem Demirors, to uncover the truth about what really drives the crypto markets — speculation. Meltem shares her unfiltered thoughts on how speculation isn't just a side-effect of crypto — it’s the fuel that keeps it alive. From memecoins and NFTs to billion-dollar protocols, we dive into the speculative cycles that shape the industry, who benefits the most, and why greed is actually a feature — not a bug.
