“Carpe Consensus” is a show for crypto fans and foes, DeFi degens, non-fungible enthusiasts and welcomes the crypto curious. Each week, hosts Ben Schiller, Danny Nelson and Cam Thompson seize the world of crypto, debating the latest in industry and community news alongside guest experts and commentators.
Preston Byrne is a partner in Anderson Kill's Technology, Media and Distributed Systems Group, and a CoinDesk columnist.
He joins CoinDesk Features Editor Ben Schiller to discuss his recent op-ed about GameStop, Robinhood and the rise of online mobs.

- How the regulatory reaction to the WallStreetBets could impact cryptocurrencies
- How the backlash from “elites” impacted by GameStop could harm free speech
- Why Preston Byrne supports marmots (which are like squirrels or groundhogs)
