RBC Capital Markets is one of the top global investment banks with almost 2,000 deals and approximately $250 billion dollars in capital raised for clients in 2017.
Mitch made headlines at the beginning of 2018 when he published a report stating, “Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain could become a $10-trillion-dollar market in 15 years.”
In this episode, Mitch and I discuss:
- How his predictions may have driven up the price of Ether by over 1,000% in 2017
- We review his report on blockchain and cryptocurrencies and discuss the rationale behind the $10-trillion-dollar figure
- And, because he’s a research analyst, I pick his brain on how to value cryptocurrencies and what best practices he recommends for ICOs
