Don't Buy The Bull
Welcome to "Don't Buy the Bull", a podcast dedicated to unmasking the truth about, well, anything and everything!
I'm your host, Cassandra Toroian, (call me Cass). I am a 25-year veteran of the investment business, both as an ex-investment manager and Wall Street Journal all-star analyst. I've started and sold companies, and written a book called "Don't Buy the Bull" back in 2010. Now I've gone all in on technology and democratizing information for the consumer.
I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and experiences to give a glimpse into how things like Wall Street, federal government, and start-up businesses really work. Hopefully some of what we talk about you find interesting enough to come back again and again!
What you'll get here is a combination of big-picture market stuff, the economy, sports, technology. Because yes, in my world they really do all intersect.
So if you want to learn how to make the secret sauce yourself, stand by....and let's go.

QUOTES
- “We can use our own collective computer power to power the internet. And that is the basis for this whole entire concept of decentralization. That way, nobody really has more power than anybody else, or no entity has more power than anybody else. It's really a beautiful thing.”
- “The concept of Web 3 is essentially the, let's call it, internet platform so that the decentralization on your client side, on your computer, looks kind of like what you're used to, even though it's pulling the data from all of these nodes in the background. But it's much faster. It's much more secure. And ultimately, it allows all of its users complete privacy or at least control over who they wish to disclose their identity to. So that means monetization goes back to the hands of the people.”
- “This is a subject that gets very technical and complicated, but I really feel it's very important for everybody out there to have some basics about what it is because we're all going to be using it and we're all going to be looking to understand it so that we can make money in it by investing in it somehow.”
