In this the final episode for the year Trace, Blake & Caroline (CEO of BTC Markets) look at the issues that shaped 2022. There were certainly some big media grabbing stories - Luna, FTX, and the contagion we are still seeing to this day. But not all of them were negative, no! There was also a great deal of positive news and sentiment wrapped up in 2022 but it was overshadowed by the actions of some bad actors. 

They reflect back on these stories and round out the episode by giving their thoughts on 2023.

This is the crew's final episode for 2022 as the little hamsters jump off the wheel for a well earned break. They’ll be back late January with an update on ALL the crypto news!
