After weeks of flirting with all-time highs, bitcoin has broken through the most significant psychological barrier: $20,000. 

In today’s episode of The Breakdown, NLW looks at why the moment is so significant, arguing:

• The validation of retail traders and more recent institutional investors creates an even stronger group of evangelists 
• The psychological price barrier is likely to increase FOMO among those on the sidelines
