  • “If you look at the migration of talent into this space, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen except one other time in the 90s, coming into the internet, people were leaving great jobs,” he said
  • “The money has been flowing (into crypto) for years and the talent is flowing, you have to embrace it and you have to have exposure to digital assets,” he said

Mark Yusko, CEO and chief investment officer of Morgan Creek Capital Management, sat down with Blockworks for an interview at our Digital Asset Summit: NYC conference after he spoke on the closing fireside chat with Pantera Capital’s Dan Morehead and 10T Holdings Founder and CEO Dan Tapiero.
