Pro-Bitcoin - E196

In this episode I discuss recent price movements and how they corresponded to the tense Iranian over the last week. I look into recent developments of State-sponsored stablecoins and detail the Baidu beta launch. Then I dive into the drama behind Nakamoto,com. Altcoiners using the term “pro-bitcoin” in a desperate attempt to extent their ponzi schemes. Lastly, I quickly talk about the halvening not being priced in.
