In the latest Market Talks episode on Cointelegraph, we meet Brenda Gentry, aka Cryptomom, a finance professional with 15+ years of experience in traditional banking. Amid the 2020 lockdowns, she delved into cryptocurrency, saw impressive returns in 2021, and went on to establish Gentry Media Productions. Her current goal is to introduce more women and minorities to Web3, decentralized finance (DeFi), and nonfungible tokens (NFTs).
The discussion kicks off with a report from the Bank of International Settlements, revealing that the median retail investor lost half of their Bitcoin (BTC) investment over seven years. Given her financial background, we ask Gentry for her insights on this and ways for crypto investors to avoid being part of this statistic.
The buzz around sports betting is growing, evident from the commercials and shows pushing people to participate. We inquire about Gentry’s interest in her new sports betting platform, BundleBets, and what drew her to this sector.
When it comes to defining Web3, opinions vary widely. Gentry shares her perspective on Web3, steering clear of the common buzzwords and discussing how it may evolve in the future.
Despite the challenges faced in the Terra and FTX developments, they remain central to crypto conversations. Gentry provides her insights on navigating these events and shares her simple trading approach in a post-FTX environment where unexpected business failures are a risk.
Retail investors play a crucial role in the crypto market’s success, but recent events like FTX and Terra have made many hesitant. We explore what it would take to reignite their interest in cryptocurrency.
