This week’s stories include mainstream media’s Bitcoin FOMO, the real story of Laszlo Hanyecz, Dutch authorities taking down Bestmixer, Tether being partially backed by bitcoin and what Libertarian politician Ron Paul thinks about the U.S. dollar. Also, the hosts interview Jeffery Tucker, editorial director of the American Institute of Economic Research, about how the U.S./China trade conflict might be affecting the bitcoin price.
"I’m interested in what happens when the market crashes and I’m interested in preserving an environment where people can have alternative ideas that might help solve the problems we have. I think that’s what bitcoin offers: an alternative. I want a free marketplace."
