Mike Dudas spent years helping major companies like Disney, Google, and Venmo with growth and business development. It was during his professional career that his interest in crypto began to grow. Mike recognized that the crypto space lacked an unbiased data, news, and information hub for retailers, businesses, startups, and hedge funds. After assembling a team of experts from around the crypto world, The Block was born and became arguably the best newsletter and data aggregator in the space. Now thousands of curious interdisciplinarians look to The Block for their expertise, guidance and analysis. 
Mike Dudas and Scott Melker further discuss, the need for unbiased research, simplifying crypto for the masses, the Bloomberg Terminal, governments as customers, fintech arriving to crypto, competing with PayPal, Facebook’s crypto product, who will be the next Michael Saylor, regulating stablecoins like banks, dumb regulation threatening crypto, burning and depreciating treasuries, the dollar as crypto’s reserve currency and more.
