Yo, yo, welcome to Crypto 101. This is Matthew Aaron. This episode is not a 101 episode per se.

It is a little bit out of the norm. Usually, when I have interviews with individuals, they're people in the crypto space.

We talk about them, their lives, a 101 on somebody that is, well, directly tied to cryptocurrency.

My guest today is indirectly tied to cryptocurrency because he is one of my influences in podcasting.

Ever since 2014, I have been listening to Mr. James Altiger, and when I started my first podcast in late 2015, I modeled my podcast interview style after him.

As you'll hear in this interview, I can tell you what happened with that. And he had some great advice from me,

other podcasters, and goes into his theory on life. One of the things I really liked about his podcast, the way it started is he grabbed his laptop, he got into his car, drove across the country,

stayed in the Airbnbs, interviewing some of the most interesting people that he knows. And this

served as an inspiration for me to say, hey,

if he could do it, I guess I could do it. So I hope you enjoy my conversation with Mr. James

Altucher about life, about philosophy, about living the best life you can, choosing yourself,

and a little bit about blockchain and cryptocurrency. I want to give you a special thanks to the people

at XYO, good friends of mine for hooking this interview up. It was their persistence that allowed me

to walk into Mr. James Altucher's house, sit down in his living room, drink some of his beverages,

and have an almost three-hour conversation. We cut this down to about an hour. Remember, this is not

trading advice, investment advice,

financial advice, and definitely, well, maybe a little bit of personal advice. And another special

thank you to Shift Markets for sponsoring this episode. We'll see you after the show.

Digital asset exchanges are emerging as some of the top gainers of the cryptocurrency market.

One of the best ways of getting involved in crypto is by owning an exchange,

which has the highest touch point to all new users and multiple streams of revenue.

Don't waste time trying to tinker with the complexity of building your own exchange.
