In this week’s edition of Market Talks, Cointelegraph is thrilled to have Brenda Gentry, also known as Cryptomom on Twitter, as our guest. Gentry brings with her over 15 years of experience in the traditional banking sector. During the lockdowns in 2020, she delved into researching and investing in cryptocurrencies, which proved to be highly profitable for her in 2021. This success led her to establish Gentry Media Productions. Currently, Gentry is on a mission to introduce more women and minority groups to Web3, decentralized finance (DeFi), and nonfungible tokens (NFTs).
We commence the discussion with a report from the Bank of International Settlements, which reveals that the median retail investor has lost 50% of their Bitcoin (BTC) investment over the past seven years. Given Gentry’s financial background, we inquire about her thoughts on this matter and ask for her insights on how crypto investors can avoid becoming part of this alarming statistic.
Sports betting has gained immense popularity lately, with numerous companies bombarding viewers with commercials and sports commentators discussing it during their shows to generate more interest. We inquire about Gentry’s recent venture into the sports betting industry with BundleBets and explore what sparked her interest and how she became involved in this business.
Defining Web3 can be a subjective matter, with different interpretations from different individuals. We ask Gentry to share her perspective on what Web3 means to her and how she envisions its growth and evolution in the future. There’s a twist, though – she is not allowed to use any of the current buzzwords to define it.
While we may wish to forget about the Terra and FTX debacle, it is impossible to discuss the crypto landscape without mentioning them. We delve into Gentry’s personal experience with these events and how she managed to navigate through them successfully. Furthermore, we inquire about her trading strategy in a post-FTX world, where the next company’s downfall is unpredictable.
Retail investors have played a significant role in the success of the crypto market. However, the FTX and Terra incidents have left them hesitant to reenter the space. We ask Gentry what needs to happen or what information they need to hear in order to regain their trust and interest in crypto.
These topics and more will be covered in our discussion, so make sure to stay tuned until the end. Additionally, Cointelegraph Markets & Research will be answering your questions and addressing your comments throughout the show, so have them prepared.
