Our teacher today is Chad Cascarilla, co-founder and CEO of Paxos, the leading regulated blockchain infrastructure company that is reimagining a complete technological replatforming of our global financial markets. This conversation was a ton of fun for us, mainly because Chad is just one of the most fascinating and compelling people I've had the privilege of knowing and learning from.
I think one dimension of this, and hopefully this comes through in our conversation with him, is that he embodies a number of dualities, almost paradoxes that I've rarely seen present at the same time in the same person. On the one hand, he's a successful hedge fund investor who was one of the earliest and most accurate at identifying and capitalizing off the excesses and bubbles that catalyzed the global financial crisis.
