    Opportunistic Long-Only Investing

    On this month's episode of The Missing Link, we are joined by Thomas Puech, Co-Founder and CEO at INDIGO Fund. Thomas Thomas is an experienced professional with six years of expertise in the cryptocurrency market. His diverse background underscores a profound comprehension of the industry, making him a trusted leader at the helm of INDIGO Fund. In 2023, INDIGO Fund employed a strategic mix of InsurTech, arbitrage trading, and NFT finance for its exotic portfolio. Within the InsurTech sphere, funds were allocated to stablecoin pools, forging partnerships with chosen insurers to yield returns. This approach also provided further diversification by investing in an area protected from digital asset market fluctuations. During the episode, Dan and Thomas discuss the current hype cycles, the positive (and negative) trends, how to select yield opportunities in a bull vs bear market, and more. Don't miss it!

Voorhees co-founded the Bitcoin company Coinapult and founded SatoshiDICE, which he later sold for 126,000 Bitcoin. Just months after the Mt. Gox hack in 2014, Erik launched the first non-custodial crypto exchange, ShapeShift.

He has been an outspoken libertarian and advocate for Bitcoin, talking openly about his concerns surrounding traditional monetary systems and taxation. He has been known to work with regulators on better understanding the decentralized financial system and improving the future of both TradFi and DeFi. He has been featured in the book Digital Gold and the Netflix documentary Banking on Bitcoin. He has publicly debated Peter Schiff, and Sam Bankman-Fried, and has been featured on Bloomberg, Fox Business, and numerous industry conferences.
