20: Behind Tom Osman's $1.3mil Ether Rock Flip, Discord vs Slack & Tokenized Communities

He joins the NIA boys to discuss:


  • play-by-play details of what happened
  • how he spotted the opportunity
  • the telegram group he joined with crypto whales
  • what he's doing with his $1.3mil win
  • discord vs slack
  • investing in ETH vs Bitcoin
  • tokenized communities + web 3
