"There will always be someone who has more than you, and someone who has less than you. Deal with it."

Arthur Hayes is the CEO and Co-Founder of the 100x Group, the group behind BitMEX, one of the largest cryptocurrency derivatives trading platforms in the world.\\xa0

Never one to mince his words, Arthur is a flamboyant and often provocative figure in the world of crypto. His team created the most traded cryptocurrency product of all time, with overall trading volumes on the BitMEX exchange approaching $1 trillion USD last year according to Euromoney.\\xa0

It has been a remarkably rapid rise for Arthur Hayes since being released from his trading job at Citibank in 2013. He's accumulated generational wealth in just a few years and all before his 40th birthday. Luckily for me, Arthur and I have some great friends in common, so I was delighted when he agreed to carve out 60 minutes for the podcast. My first question reveals a softer side to the man, before we go on to discuss:

  • The @cryptohayes approach to Twitter\\xa0
  • Philanthropy and giving back to his community
  • The power of FOMO
  • If getting fired by Citibank fuelled him\\xa0
  • The best thing about having money
