In this episode of the Bitcoin Matrix Podcast, I sit down with Josh Mandell, a seasoned options trader with a background as a quant analyst at Salomon.
Josh shares his unique perspective on financial engineering, trading strategies, and why MicroStrategy could become one of the top five companies in the S&P 500.
You’ll love diving into the thoughts of this new bitcoin sensation that everyone’s talking about.
