Buy and Build: Acquiring an Online Business & Building in Public Nicholas Scalf & Darryl Lim

This week LUNA and it's stablecoin UST blew up and took down the entire crypto market.  Nick talks with the founder and writer of http://solsweet.co/, Toby Johnston, to break down all the madness.  This story has a little bit of everything:  Financial warfare, conspiracy theories, Citadel (the villains from the GameStop series), George Soros and the Bank of England, and an economic fallout to the tune of hundreds of billions.  If you're interested in crypto, you don't want to miss this one.
