We're back with another Dox Radio banger !! This week, Josh Lim, Co-Founder of Arbelos Markets, breaks down:

- Josh Lim’s Journey: From trading equity options at banks to joining Circle in 2014, his experience in traditional finance transitioned smoothly into the crypto space.

- Early Bitcoin Days: Back in the early days, Bitcoin’s purpose and value were frequently questioned, highlighting the rapid evolution and acceptance of crypto concepts over time.

- Bear Market Reflections: The recent bear market brought back skepticism about crypto’s relevance, prompting renewed focus on understanding and believing in the fundamentals.

- Dealing with Volatility: Traditional finance professionals often struggle with crypto’s extreme volatility, needing to shift their focus from downside protection to capturing upside opportunities.

- Navigating Meme Coins: Meme coins, despite their seemingly frivolous nature, reflect the financialization and gamification of everything, with their existence tied to community and speculative interests.

- Arbelos Markets’ Unique Approach: Combining transparency and technology, Arbelos Markets aims to bridge CeFi and DeFi, focusing on risk transfer and innovative financial products.

- Building During a Bear Market: The challenges of starting Arbelos Markets in a bear market included identifying essential functions and balancing high-touch relationships with automated processes.

- Future Aspirations: Arbelos Markets aims to evolve continuously, capturing new opportunities in the dynamic crypto landscape while maintaining a technology-first and artisanal approach to financial services.
