This will be our last episode until the New Year. Josh and Mike are taking a much needed holiday break from all the Bitcoin madness. See you in 2018!

Bitcoin continues to grow exponentially, fees continue to rise, but the question still remains: why hasn’t Segwit — an upgrade to reduce fees — been enabled on many of the most popular exchanges, payment processors, and wallets. Josh and Mike explore why this is the case through the lens of greed, power, and control. Later, they discuss altcoins like Dash, ZCash, and Monero and why privacy may be the next big thing on the horizon for Bitcoin and crypto in general.
