BTC247: Bitcoin's evolution with Traditional Finance w/ Jon Melton (Bitcoin Podcast)

You're listening to TIP. Hey everyone, welcome to this Wednesday's release of the Bitcoin Fundamentals podcast. Do you guys remember all the drama with FTX and how numerous traditional banks went under during this period of time? Which was the start of this whole choke point 2.0, which was debanking everyone in the Bitcoin and crypto space. Well, today's guest, John Melton, had a front row seat at Silvergate Bank.

During our conversation, he explains how this entire thing went down, what the solvency actually was at the bank, and how the company was forced to liquidate despite still being very solvent and actually having solid operations. This episode also gets into a broad range of topics, which is why I titled it Bitcoin's Evolution with Traditional Finance. And I think the historical context and lessons learned are a great place for many people to study and understand. There's no better teacher than John to tell these stories and the lessons, and with that, I hope you guys enjoy this fun conversation. Celebrating 10 years, you are listening to Bitcoin Fundamentals.
