My guest today is Ben Hunt. Ben spent a decade in academia as a Political Science professor at New York University before starting a couple of his own software companies, which he later sold. Ben then decided to conquer financial markets, serving as the Chief Risk Officer and Chief Investment Strategist for Salient, one of the country's top asset management boutiques. Today, Ben is the co-founder and writer for Epsilon Theory, a website, and newsletter that examines markets through the lenses of game theory, history, philosophy, and sociology. 

The topic is his article The MacGuffin Part 1.

• The MacGuffin
• Terra Luna’s crash and its effects on the crypto world
• Securitization of Bitcoin on Wall Street
