Deep Dive: Crypto, Cannabis, and the Future of Business "In-Person"

Evergreen Exchange

Evergreen Partners, Jeff Otis and Tyler Hay, are back with a discussion on some of the headlining factors driving markets as of late. This Deep Dive episode discusses the topics of crypto, cannabis, and which industries we think may be permanently altered by the pandemic's virtualization of so many sectors. Another center-stage topic continues to be the balancing of economic stimulus with a recovering economy. None of us has a crystal ball, but Tyler shares his considerations for thinking through whether inflation (or deflation) could lie ahead. Listen in as we discuss these questions:

• Is the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies increasing? How might that affect concerns about inflation?
• What is Evergreen's current outlook on the cannabis space?
• Why do we think the majority of business will return to "in-person" over time?
• With a potentially permanent decline in brick-and-mortar retail, which types of businesses may still thrive?
• How much money can we print to get through the pandemic without spurring inflation? (Spoiler: no one is sure)

As always, we hope you enjoy the listen!
