Nick is a big proponent of self-sovereignty, and the idea of buying $80,000 worth of 1’s and 0’s and that being protected by a password terrifies him. Meanwhile, a bunch of guys from Wall Street are just playing games with your money and will leverage that. The financial crisis is proof of that, and there is risk no matter what. After losing Celsius to bankruptcy, Nick believes that the founder Mashinsky and FTX are not evil, but rather, were enticed by power which led to the eventual downfall of his company and the continuous struggle of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to find its way to mainstream banking methods.Trans Kids and De-TransitioningNick shares his stance on kids who decide to transition at an early age. They can potentially face multiple issues such as social stigma, lack of understanding from parents, adults, and authority figures, medical concerns, and bullying from other kids. There’s also the possibility that once they grow older, they regret their decision and decide to de-transition. It’s a difficult journey to go through, and it helps to be surrounded by a good support system, and Nick shares how he has lost friends over his fight on kids who transition early, as well as those who eventually detransition. Links and ResourcesTwitterMeta-DescriptionWGA screenwriter, director, and producer Nick Dimondi shares his experience with bitcoin, cryptocurrency as well as Hollywood, gender, politics, and life in California.Support the show
