Before he was even old enough to legally play, Zach Resnick fell in love with the game of poker. By the time he was 21, he’d started building out a number of business ventures, including Just Hands Poker.

Nick met Zach for the first time at Poker Out Loud in December of 2017. Talking just through hands, they struck up a relationship that led to them keeping in touch over the next several years. Recently, they reconnected in the world of cryptocurrency, and it seemed like the stars had aligned and their journeys had overlapped again.

In today’s conversation, Zach and Nick reconnect to talk about building sustainable businesses in the crypto space, the traits that the best investors all have in common (no matter what they invest in), and how to navigate the potential conflicts that come from changing your convictions.

Key Takeaways

Why Zach pivoted into the crypto scene instead of doubling down on poker.
Why there’s so much dumb money and so many scams in crypto - and how Zach built a fund with due diligence and smart people instead of just chasing exponential returns.
How Zach sees a value proposition for blockchain technology that has nothing to do with existing outside of government regulation.
Why it’s human nature to overvalue the first piece of information on any topic you read - and why this makes doing deep dives absolutely necessary.
What happened to change Zach’s opinion on both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV - and why hard pivots almost always create intense friction, blowback, and even fallout.
Why Zach thinks Craig Wright is Satoshi.
