May the 22nd is "bitcoin pizza day". It should be a day we celebrate by spending bitcoin to purchase goods and services -- instead many times it's a joke about the poor guy who spent 10,000 bitcoin on a couple of Pappa John's pizza.

While bitcoin has become a store of value, it was created as digital currency. And the good news is that it can be both!! And using it for both will only accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin - and ultimately increase the price. So celebrate!

The coordinated attack on the Terra Luna ecosystem will most likely go down in crypto history as a "black swan event". Thirty billion dollars of TVL (total value locked) have been evaporated in an extremely short period of time and it is disrupting the entire market. Even though we most likely where in the beginnings of a bear market anyways this is certainly accelerating the process.

Where is the market going from here? And how can you handle it?

Let's talk.

In this week's episode I cover a few different things. Times right now are trying. Both the stock market and crypto in general seem to be in an outright free fall. Next week the Fed will most likely be announcing another half a percent interest rate increase. The majority of investors still consider crypto to be a risk-on asset so there is no significant decoupling of btc and other crypto from traditional stocks. Where do you go from here?
