Equity Monday: Are we at the start of a new crypto bull cycle?
Today on Equity, crypto's melt-up is continuing, AI training is going to stay expensive for a long while - although Microsoft is probably not worried about the costs - Didi's earnings are kicking off a busy week for Chinese tech companies, and Dave.com is finding a new way to promote its growth.

Show Notes
Here’s what we got into on this very cold November morning:
- Crypto’s melt-up is continuing, with rising trading volumes following in the wake of the price gains. For web3 believers, it’s great news.
- The FT has a great interview with Sam Altman about how AI training is going to stay expensive for a long while; Microsoft is probably not worried about the costs, however.
- Didi’s earnings dropped, kicking off a busy week for Chinese tech companies including Alibaba, NetEase, and Tencent Music.
- The Block is getting its cap table into shape.
- And Shekel Mobility raised an interesting round that we just had to talk about.
Don’t forget that next week is a holiday week here in the United States!
