BREAKDOWN: Bitcoin Is the ‘No Heroes’ Asset


Listen Later

Bitcoin Twitter’s latest skirmish with Elon Musk has as much to say about the nature of power in a social media landscape as it does about bitcoin.

  • What is says about Elon Musk specifically
  • What it says about power in a social media-powered world
