Max Krupyshev has been in crypto since 2013—long before it was “the usual.” In Bet It Drives podcast Season 4, Episode 3, the CoinsPaid and CryptoProcessing.com CEO joins host Yevhen Krazhan in Barcelona to explain why trust and controls decide who scales.
“Crypto was never anonymous—that was a misconception,” Max Krupyshev says in the podcast.
From there, he breaks down how the industry matured, why mass adoption is inevitable, and why the biggest risks today aren’t what most people think they are.
During the episode, Max digs into:
- Is crypto still associated with money laundering?
- Can crypto transactions still be completely anonymous?
- The most common crypto fraud patterns in B2B
- How to win big deals in business (and the fastest way to lose one)
- What he dislikes in iGaming + crypto, and what the industry needs to fix next
- The 8-Bitcoin story: what he spent it on, and why he doesn’t regret it
- His most remarkable iGaming partnership, and why it mattered
- Where crypto will be in 10 years, and what happens to cash along the way
Alongside the industry discussion, Episode 3 brings back Confess or Call, when Max is pushed into a dramatic prank call: ringing his Head of Sales with an “urgent” request.
“This episode is practical,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives. “Max explains the risks, how fraud happens in practice, and what operators should look for in a payment provider. If you handle payments in iGaming, this episode lays out what matters, and what doesn’t.”
Season 4 opened with a CEO episode with Cedomir Tomic (Founder of Alea) and Oleksandr Feshchenko (CEO of GR8 Tech), followed by Akhil Sarin on marketing and partnerships at Stake. Episode 3 is aimed at operators, affiliates, and product teams who want to understand crypto beyond the obvious. Episode 4 features Marek Suchar breaking down esports betting.
