We have prepared a very special episode for our listeners just in time as we go into 2019. I emceed and moderated at the World Digital Assets Summit (WDAS) in San Francisco this past week, and also got the chance to speak with a number of fantastic funds, projects, and reporters who were present. As we go into the New Years with some uncertainty as an industry, it is refreshing to hear different perspectives from a number of thoughtful, experienced individuals on their outlook for 2019.
