A.I. Sports Betting, Trading Metals to Commodities, & Crypto’s Future with Charlie McGarraugh

We're taking flight and zooming over to the big bend for a cheerio chat with Charlie McGarraugh, an ex-midwesterner turned londonite. Charlie is the Chief Strategy Officer at Blockchain.com and has an impressive resume as a former mortgage-backed securities trader, head of metals at Goldman, founder of an algo sports betting company, and more.

In this episode, Charlie dives into living across the pond (in the metals and commodities space), starting the world's LARGEST Bitcoin wallet (and selling it to blockchain.com), what's going on in the Crypto space and what's to come, and rebuilding and retooling a robust trend following CTA like Altis.
