Luno’s Aaron Tang - The Bitcoin, Crypto Bull Market Has Begun, But It’s Early Days Yet

The Bitcoin and crypto market is in a clear bull run right now, making it an excellent time to be talking to Aaron Tang, the Regional General Manager of Luno, where he oversees the Malaysian, Singaporean and Indonesian crypto markets for the global cryptocurrency platform. 

I get deep into the weeds with him on how early we are in the current crypto bull run, question him on some of the assumptions about cryptos (such as self-custody and blockchain safety) while getting his views on how strict or market-friendly the regulators are.
