Show Notes

After weeks of flirting with all-time highs, bitcoin has broken through the most significant psychological barrier: $20,000. 

In today’s episode of The Breakdown, NLW looks at why the moment is so significant, arguing:

  • The psychological price barrier is likely to increase FOMO among those on the sidelines
