Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Matthew Leising who has been a reporter since 2001, and for 17 years worked for Bloomberg News.
Welcome to the 131st episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on January 11th, 2023. We talked about one of the most impactful events in crypto’s history which was the great DAO hack of 2016. We also get into crypto’s media coverage and what Matt is trying to do to change that.
Thanks, everyone for listening, and don’t forget to tune in next week when we interview Tim Bos, founder and CEO of Shareing.
