Bitcoin Cycles: How Can A Business Survive? | Angelo Alessio & Andy Boyan | S1E4
Mar 27, 2024 Season 1 Episode 4
Sasha Barrie

This week’s guests:

Angelo Alessio is a co-founder of Build Cities, a global cooperative of startup cities, 

Andy Boyan is the Head of Growth at LAST, a new revenue-positive Layer 2 blockchain that redirects chain profits back to developers, users, and capital.

We talked about Bitcoin cycles and how one can build a business that survives.

The crypto industry goes up and down with Bitcoin halving (or halvening) cycles.

Prices go up and down. So do volumes in the market, and the valuations companies. But builders are building no matter what. 

I talked with my guests about what it takes to build in crypto and keep going through these phases of rapid growth and dramatic collapses. How do you navigate this? How do you fundraise? How do you scale? How do you hire? 

We also recapped our ETHDenver experiences, and there are some cool tips for builders who plan to participate in the upcoming crypto conferences.
