Former Crypto Lawyer and ICO Advisor Julian Zegelman: Investing in ICOs Is a Risk on Dynamite

Julian Zegelman, a lawyer with many years of experience, has turned into a VC - he's now a general partner at TMT Blockchain Fund, a venture capital fund investing in blockchain technology projects.

CR: Great! And my question is, how does a lawyer become a crypto lawyer? Are there any courses or training?

I think being a blockchain lawyer is about the question of what blockchain is - it is securities law, privacy law, contracts, or enforcement.

A lot of securities lawyers make great blockchain lawyers because now, more and more tokens are regulated as securities.

JZ: In real-life language, we invest in companies that happen to use blockchain to solve real-life problems.

I want to preface this with the fact that we have invested in ICOs and we probably will continue to invest in ICOs.

JZ: High-risk ratio: That's what ICO investing is.

You snap down to ICO and unregulated markets on top of that, that's like risk on dynamite.

CR: We've talked a lot about investing, but the question I usually ask everyone is - are you a crypto trader yourself?

JZ: Well, because I think I'm a very atypical representative of the industry, because I tend to be serious in investing but not in other things.
