Famed investor and entrepreneur Mark Cuban, star of Shark Tank, joins Real Vision founder and CEO Raoul Pal to make sense of the changing market structure and the disruption of the financial establishment. Cuban sees tokenization and blockchain bringing more transparency to the financial industry and remains bullish on Bitcoin as a store of value and reserve asset. He also praises stimulus efforts but sees political partisanship as a major risk to fixing the dichotomy between Main Street and Wall Street. Filmed February 3, 2021. Key Learnings: Cuban follows the HODL ethos of cryptocurrency and shares what's in his crypto portfolio: BTC, ETH, LTC, AAVE, and more.
