Breaking Down The Humanity Protocol Exploit with Founder Terence Kwok

Episode 2 of The Starting Block, hosted by The Block's Gareth Jenkinson, was broadcasted live with Humanity Protocol Founder Terence Kwok.



Humanity Protocol Founder Terence Kwok joins Gareth Jenkinson on The Starting Block to talk about the $36 million exploit from a hacked developer laptop, getting roasted online / accused of being an inside-job from the team, and plans for the token migration and recovery moving forward. Andre Dragosch, Bitwise Europe European Head of Research, joins Gareth for today's Market Pulse. They discuss Bitcoin's volatility and accumulation clues around cycle lows, altcoins continuing to underperform as risk-off trade, and why Fed monetary policy continues to be the catalyst we're watching for the next upward move.
