Interview with Andrew from Arch Public (@AP_Abacus) who has been releasing insider information about the way DCG and Genesis are handling the hole created from the recent crypto crash.  Is GBTC going to be forced to liquidate?  What does a 20% tender offer mean? Is this the one time we all benefit because so many different companies were in bed together their choices are either work something out together, or all fail? Tremendous insight from the HNW (high net worth) creditor side of things --- and a surprisingly sunny outcome is potentially around the corner if cooler heads prevail.
