Why bitcoin and crypto seems all encompassing to the people in the space, but barely registers on the radar for most investorsWhy bitcoin actually refers to (at least) three things at once: a technology, a network, and an asset - and why this makes categorization in traditional investment frameworks difficult
Why Libra is in many ways the antithesis of bitcoinWhy the US dollar remains the most desired asset in troubled regions and why part of the key for bitcoin playing a similar role is education
Why speculation is a gateway for deeper engagement with bitcoinWhy the bitcoin recession narrative is enticing to people but full of “unknown unknowns”
How the global “hunt for yield” is shaping the bitcoin narrativeThe “future fetish” era of blockchains
Why the idea of bitcoin as “unregulated” isn’t quite accurateThe new battles around central bank digital currencies
Why the most interesting metric in the crypto space is the percentage of bitcoin held by third party institutions
