What's up, everyone? This is Anthony Pompliano. Most of you know me as Pomp. You're listening to Off the Chain, simply the best podcasting crypto. Let's kick this thing off.

Ari Paul is the CIO of Block Tower, one of the best known crypto investment firms. In this conversation, we discussed his previous work at a university endowment, what Ari thinks about the current state of crypto, and how he sees digital assets performing during a global financial crisis. I really enjoyed this conversation, and Ari is very intelligent and articulate. I hope you enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Before we get started, I want to talk about one of our sponsors, BlockFi. These guys are doing

really interesting work in crypto lending. What they allow you to do is keep your crypto,

put it up as collateral, and receive a U.S. dollar loan funded directly to your bank account.

They do loans ranging from $2,000 to $10 million, and they're perfect for helping

you reach your financial goals of all sizes. You should visit blockfi.com slash pomp. Again,

that's blockfi.com slash pomp. Again, one more time, type it in blockfi.com slash pomp

if you'd like to learn more about putting your crypto to work without having to sell it. Definitely

do it. We all know legendary

venture capitalist Tim Draper. He's one of the earliest supporters of Bitcoin and has done a ton of

work to drive crypto adoption. Many people don't know about one of his newest endeavors,

though, Draper University. If you're an entrepreneur looking to launch your idea in crypto,

you can apply to attend their pre-accelerator program and learn how to build successful

global companies from Tim. And for all you corporate executives out there, you don't need to feel

left out either. Draper University also has a week-long intensive program that will get you educated

on all things blockchain and crypto. As we know, knowledge is power, so don't get left behind.

You can check out Draper University.com. Again, that's

Draper University.com. And let me know what you think. If it's good enough for Tim, it will

probably be good enough for you. And as Nike says, just do it. This podcast is presented by

Blockworks Group, the only blockchain event and media production company I trust. If you're an investor,

lawyer, accountant, or entrepreneur,

and want to attend exclusive events and dinners, visit them at blockworksgroup.io. I promise
