In the latest episode of Blockworks’ podcast “Empire,” Jason is joined by Blockworks co-founder, Mike Ippolito, for a very special episode.

Six months after identifying the ‘7 biggest crypto trends’, Mike returns to Empire to share his predictions for the crypto industry throughout 2022. Will Bitcoin surprise everyone with a major bull run in the new year? How large will DAOs become? Could a crypto company buy a bank?! Listen to find out.

They also discuss:

  • The Layer-1 Wars
  • Bridges as a leading theme
  • and so much more!

Check out what they had to say in the video below. 👇

On “Empire,” once a week, Jason interviews individuals that have built the crypto industry to talk about their struggles, bold moves and tough decisions. For any NPR or Guy Raz fans out there, you can think of “Empire” like a “How I Built This” for the bitcoin and crypto industry.

Episodes are released every Thursday morning.
