This is not financial advice. Nothing said on the show should be considered financial advice. This is just the opinions of Brad Nickel, Joe Cawley, and our guests. None of us are financial advisors. Trading, participating, yield farming, liquidity pools, and all of DeFi and crypto is high risk and dangerous. If you decide to participate, do your own research. Never count on the research of others. We don't know what we are talking about and you can lose all your money. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, because you probably will lose it all.

Waves Protocol: On March 10th Brad thought it was a good play and didn't buy and today it is up 111% since then.

One of our favorite projects Revest was hit with a $2 million exploit. We discussed the impact, but also how powerful the model is for it.

@Ronin_Network, the @AxieInfinity blockchain has been hit with a $650 million dollar breach. Pretty brutal.

NEAR Protocol is growing in the lending world.
