    Episode #4 w/ Eric Yakes

    There’s a lot of talk about crypto these days. And it’s confusing: some people claim that crypto is the greatest invention since the internet; others claim it’s worthless, and yet others have no idea what crypto even is. Our goal is to help viewers make sense of the tangled mess of information and misinformation about crypto and to separate fact from fiction with the help of guest experts and builders. In this episode, we talked to Eric Yakes author of The 7th Property Bitcoin and The Monetary Revolution. We discuss the function of money, the role of money in society, and the future of Bitcoin. Book: ⁠The 7th Property⁠ Twitter: @ericyakes Eric graduated with a double major in finance & economics from Creighton University and 3 years later earned my CFA charter. I began my career at FTI Consulting in their Corporate Finance and Restructuring group for the TMT industry and then moved to Lion Equity Partners, a distressed buyout private equity fund. All the while I intently followed Bitcoin, and its development eventually led me to jump into the industry. The world of traditional finance was a great place to begin my career, but I didn’t find my passion there. I realized that my passion lay in finding ways to create and store value (through Bitcoin) rather than extract it. I decided I wanted to be less professional and more real with people. I wanted to communicate transparently with others, as opposed to the opaque nature of financial institutions. My first step in this direction was writing The 7th Property – it is the resource I wish I had when I first discovered Bitcoin. My website is yakes.io where you can subscribe to my thoughts about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, finance, and economics.
