[PODCAST] Bassman Has a Strong Message for Young Traders
Harley Bassman has worked in finance for more than 40 years. Before becoming a managing partner at Simplify, Bassman traded at Credit Suisse, Merril Lynch, and PIMCO.

It’s not unreasonable to have skin in the game in a multi Trillion market. With one caveat. Be ready to lose it all. Remember that most crypto assets do not generate yield. If some do, there are hidden risks involved.
