On this episode, we talk about the CryptoSpace innovating when it comes to dealing w/ the CoronaVirus. We also spend a good chunk of time covering the latest ETH news: Vitalik calling for Trustless Bridges, the search for ETH scalability, the DeFi hacks, and a big boom in Smart Contract Deployment. We talk about US banks being sued for shutting out small-business access to the stimulus money and what the negative oil prices mean for the petrodollar. We discuss a new Crypto ATM and big news for CryptoAdoption from Bittrex and CoinMarketCap. We hear about Microsoft’s creepy crypto patent and discuss Ross Ulbricht’s wild BTC price prediction.
