DeFi Lunch with Charlie Shrem Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

We recorded this interview at Quantum Miami, but the audio quality was really bad. We've been able to clean it up somewhat to provide something that is OK.

Joe and Brad interviewed the one and only Charlie Shrem at Quantum Miami.

Joe Cawley and Brad Nickel cover the DeFi news of the day, new opportunities in the space including liquidity pools, yield farming, staking, and much more.

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.
