You likely know Balaji as the former CTO of Coinbase and now editor-in-chief of Nakamoto.com. What you may not know is that prior to his days in the cryptosphere, Balaji studied at the intersection of engineering, biology and statistics, received a PHD and has published several academic papers in genomics, and sold a genomics testing company for $375 million.

Given his background, Balaji has been watching and studying the developing situation surrounding COVID-19 closely. In this conversation, we discuss the current status of the Coronavirus, the variables to watch, the likely economic and geopolitical impact as well as what it all means for the future of work, tech, and crypto. I hope this special episode will leave you feeling more informed about the implications of COVID-19 and the ripple effects that may yet come from its pandemic spread.
