Two Degens (resources, interviews, on all things crypto and some AI)
We're two degenerate crypto nerds based in Asia who have survived multiple cycles and still love decentralization and chasing 100x's and spending too much time on twitter (Kevin is @habits and George is @bridgexplore)
Our podcast does two things
1. Provide perspectives from Asia, including interviews with Asia-focused builders, analysts, and investors
2. A 5-minute daily crypto update covering news, tweets, recommended reads, and more (this is an experiment for now)
Finally, thanks to @sawawse for the incredible cover art!
