On today's episode of On The Margin, Mike Ippolito is joined by Blockdaemon CEO & Founder Konstantin Richter to discuss the rise & fall of crypto culture. When sentiment shifts in crypto markets, founders build conviction. Konstantin reminds us of previous cycles & shares why he has never been more optimistic on the future of crypto than right now.

Mike & Konstantin also discuss the founding of Blockdaemon, the pro's & con's in centralization vs decentralization, the outlook for a multichain future & designing new governance systems in an increasingly digital world.
