Hello and welcome to the long awaited crypto episode of Slate Money, your guide to the business

and finance news of everything crypto. This is something a lot of you guys have been

asking for. We get a lot of emails from people saying can you get someone who

actually knows what they're talking about to talk to us about crypto rather

than just getting a bunch of

snark mongers to snark about NFDs.

We have listened to you.

So I am Felix Salmon of Axios.

I'm here with Emily Peck of Fundrise.

Hello, hello?

I'm here with Stacey Marie Ishmael.

Of no affiliation.

Of no affiliation.

But definitely crypto adjacent in some way and most excitingly we have Maya

Sahavi who's going to basically spend the next hour telling us everything that

you ever need to know about crypto. Maya, welcome and who are you?

Thanks for having me. I'm a crypto investor who's been in this space both at the enterprise

and the wild west of D-5 for the past seven years.

And you're based where? Tel Aviv, Israel.

This is the one great thing about pandemic-era podcasting is it's just as easy to get

someone on the show from Tel Aviv. It used to be we used to insist on people

coming into the studio in Brooklyn I have no idea when that's going to happen again.
