2022 was one of the toughest years to be in crypto with even professional investors suffering from 80-90% losses.

 

However, crypto hedge fund North Rock Digital reportedly navigated 2022's crises nimbly, and its founder quickly rose to prominence on Twitter for his timely and decisive market commentary.

 

Today, we have Hal, Founder of North Rock Digital, to share with us: 

  • His transition from equities to crypto
  • Identifying investable narratives and planning the trade
  • 1 vertical that Hal is looking at right now

 

Host: Jason Choi @mrjasonchoi . Not financial advice.
