Every now and then, this crew gets together to discuss the current macroeconomic situation, and of course, the role that bitcoin is playing within it.


Given all the crazy shit that's currently going on, I figured it was time for another one.


Luke Gromen popped in for the first time during the second half, to share his valuable perspective. Great to have him.


Enjoy!
