Summary

Russell Starr is the Executive Chairman and CEO at DeFi Technologies Inc, a digital asset investment firm bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance. The company trades under the ticker symbol DEFTF. In the conversation, we discuss bitcoin, decentralized finance, public markets, regulation, equity and debt markets, managing the balance sheet, and where innovation is happening. ======================= Choice is a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too. Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account. I'm talking about owning your private keys and using tax-advantaged dollars to do it too. Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp ======================= Circle is a global financial technology firm that enables businesses of all sizes to harness the power of stablecoins and public blockchains for payments, commerce and financial applications worldwide.
