Today's guest on the show is unknown Twitter #Bitcoin Boomer Lurker @bruce_pullman who steps out of the shadows to share his insights and vast experience from the Financial Worlds of yesteryear.
Join @bruce_pullman and I as we take a random walk through the streets of London during the 80's. How did Bruce become the first 'Quant' trader in financial markets and why was his desk in a tiny cupboard room?
What was it like to hang with Bill Sharpe (yes of Sharpe ratio fame) Myron Scholes and Fisher Black (YES, of option pricing and theory fame) back in the 'good old days'.
How did @bruce_pullman find himself at the table listening to the meeting of the founders hashing out the idea of forming the ill fated of Long Term Capital?
How did millions of dollars of trade information stored on a floppy disk go missing thanks to a waylaid courier?
How did an offsite at a Casino in Lake Tahoe teach Bruce about asymmetric bets and how does that now tie in to his thesis about #botcoin?
What changed in financial markets in the late 90's that pushed Bruce away and why will he not hire a financial advisor to manage his portfolio today?
A huge thank you to @bruce_pullman for taking the time to come on the show and represent the Boomer generation. He is committed to helping more people learn and understand #Bitcoin and is particularly keen to connect with Boomers who are looking to navigate these stormy waters!
