Bitcoin is at an all-time high. New digital currency ETFs are coming to the market, broadening access to and increasing the legitimacy of an asset class that very few people truly understand. So we quickly caught up with our cryptocurrency expert Christopher Newhouse, DeFi Analyst at Cumberland Labs, to ask: what the heck is going on in crypto?? In this episode, we discuss not only the current state of the market, but also give listeners a bit of a crash course in how these cryptocurrencies are used, the scope of the ecosystem, and a quick explainer on the differences between some of the big names you may have heard of. This is part one of a two part series. Next week we will bring Chris back on for a deeper dive into the evolution of careers in the crypto space, layer two economies, and the institutional framework supporting the future of crypto trading.
