As the cryptocurrency and blockchain space continues to evolve, it is essential to stay up to date on the most recent industry developments. On November 3rd, Lisa Rubin, a blockchain attorney with Paul Hastings, sat down with Decrypt’s Jason Nelson at 0xpo Crossroads in San Francisco to discuss the legal misconceptions that the industry still holds.
Rubin shared her insights on the legal landscape of the industry and the importance of obtaining legal advice before launching a crypto-related business. She emphasized that many companies fail to seek legal advice until after it is too late and that it is essential to be proactive in protecting oneself from potential risks.
The importance of staying informed was further highlighted at the Crypties 2022 awards gala, held in December at Art Basel in Miami. The evening was sponsored by Polygon, Filecoin Foundation, Lamina1, Async, BeetsDAO, The Gold Mask, Gem Set, Breakout, Anonymous, Infinite Objects, Ape Water, Decentralized Pictures, and Vault 721.

Finally, at 0xpo Summit in San Francisco, Clay Robbins of Slow Ventures, Soona Amhaz of Volt Capital, Sarah Guo of Conviction and formerly Greylock, and Alex Strzesniewski of AngelBlock joined Decrypt’s Jason Nelson to discuss raising venture money even during Crypto Winter. The panelists discussed the current state of the market and the strategies that can be employed to navigate the bear market. They emphasized the importance of having a solid business plan, understanding the true value of the project, and being able to effectively differentiate the project from competitors.
Overall, the industry is constantly evolving and it is essential to stay up to date on the latest developments. Whether it’s seeking legal advice before launching a business, attending awards galas, or understanding the current market for venture capital, staying informed is key for success in the crypto space.
