Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–October 22, 2025)–Les Borsai, serial tech entrepreneur, early crypto adopter, and co-founder of Wave Digital Assets, joined The Michael Peres Podcast to examine how digital-asset markets endure extreme volatility and why the sector continues to recover after shocks. The episode reviewed lessons from the Silk Road era through recent liquidation cascades, the maturation of market structure, and the evolving view of Bitcoin from risk asset to potential safe-haven. Borsai also reflected on bridging entertainment and crypto, and how instincts from the music industry inform long-term positioning amid hype cycles.
The conversation covered what matters during flash crashes—liquidity, leverage, and counterparty risk—how professionals frame resilience and position sizing, and why large-cap assets such as BTC, ETH, and SOL have signaled relative strength. It also outlined habits for staying operational during stress events and separating durable signals from noise.
