Halfway through the show, hosts Drew Taylor and Brent Bates discussed the news which, in a sign of the times, was disclosed in a tweet. Rafael Schultze-Kraft, the cofounder of on-chain market platform Glassnode, tweeted on December 4: “$8.9 billion in #Bitcoin were moved on-chain in a single hour this afternoon.

Bitcoin-Backed Economies Are Probable

According to Deloitte’s weekly global economy update, the U.S. – China trade war is heating up due to statements and actions made by the United States that could exacerbate the geo-political atmosphere with world-wide effect.

His heads-up that “cryptos would start running up” before Thanksgiving showed why. On Black Friday, bitcoin surged to $7,760 from a low of $6,908.64 just five days earlier. It would have been a happy Thanksgiving for those…

Bitcoin has come a long way with its highs and lows. The journey began in 2009 with the published whitepaper called Bitcoin: An Electronic Peer-to-Peer Cash System.

Now, before I get sidetracked,…
