A-Rod: 'If You Fail 70% of the Time, You Go to the Hall of Fame'
Description
MLB legend and A-Rod Corp CEO Alex Rodriguez joined CoinDesk Live at Consensus 2026 in Miami for a wide-ranging conversation on resilience, business, and crypto. He opened up about the PED suspension that he says cost him the Hall of Fame, explained why retired athletes start in the basement of the "Tower of Business," and argued tokenization should put blue-chip assets within reach of everyone — not just the 1%. Plus, why you can't fake the funk in 2026.
