Cryptocurrency has experienced many ups and downs, and the market is continuing to evolve as the uses of crypto and blockchain technologies grow. The market responds to successful and unsuccessful launches of exchanges. Recent unsuccessful launches demonstrate this perfectly, and institutional investors continue to change the game.

 

In today's episode, we discuss whether Bakkt is ruining crypto and how its launch has affected the market. We discuss the future of blockchain and how institutional investors are changing the game and pushing regular traders out. We discuss the price gain in Bitcoin during 2019 and highlight how it exceeds traditional investment returns. We also discuss leverage trading, where you can trade, and the essential lingo you need to know.
