Klages, The Rollup Co-Founder: Crypto's Dead, Long Live Finance

Is "crypto" about to disappear into finance?

Robbie Klages, co-founder of fintech media channel The Rollup, joins Graham Stone at TOKEN2049 Singapore. He found Bitcoin through online poker, traded altcoins, and now hosts conversations at the point where TradFi and DeFi meet.

Klages explains why he thinks the meme coin grift is dying while the useful parts of the industry become everyday finance, how he thinks about Bitcoin and Zcash as hard money, and why he's bullish on on-chain businesses that generate real revenue.

We cover:

• Why the word "crypto" may not survive, and what will
• Patience, cash flow and time horizons in investing
• The Bitcoin thesis in a money-printing world
• Zcash, privacy, and the gold-and-silver framework
• The revenue meta and the token-versus-equity problem
• Tokenization at a scale of trillions
• How to think about quantum risk
