The Wild West Crypto Show Hosts Congressional Hopeful Darren Dione Aquino

The Wild West Crypto Show continued its mission of educating, informing and entertaining the crypto community as summer brightenws the Northern Hemisphere. On episode 114, titled “Cryptos Been Mostly Sideways,” hosts Drew Taylor and Brent Bates invited Bo “Knows” Polny to share his ruminations on the crypto space.

On episode 110 of the Wild West Crypto Show – ‘BTC and Crypto Market Maintaining Coupling?’ – show hosts Drew Taylor and Brent Bates turned their attention to the decoupling of the cryptocurrency markets.

Recently, however, this direct relationship appears to be heading for divorce or, at least, a temporary separation, which could be a good thing for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If crypto assets go their own way, they may better serve as the…
