What actually controls crypto prices?
Most people think it’s hype, news, or retail traders…

But behind every trade is a hidden layer of infrastructure:
👉 liquidity
👉 execution
👉 market data
👉 and market makers

Watch it here: https://youtu.be/_cCjrq_Iz8A

In this episode of Dads Gone Crypto, we sit down with Tim Meggs (CEO) and Marcus Horsley (CTO) from LO:TECH — a firm building the infrastructure powering modern crypto markets.

We break down:
What market makers actually do (and why they’re misunderstood)
The difference between real liquidity vs inflated volume
How crypto prices are formed across fragmented markets
The rise of prediction markets and why institutions are paying attention
What happens when AI agents start trading instead of humans
Why better data is becoming the foundation of crypto markets

This episode isn’t about hype…
It’s about understanding the system behind the system.
👉 If you want to understand where crypto is going — this is essential.
