“Bitcoin was born in the great financial crisis but was just a toy. Now, we have another crisis with similar monetary outcomes, and it’s not a toy anymore, it is the escape valve now.”
— Dan McArdle

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Location: Squadcast
Date: Thursday 12th November
Company: Messari Crypto
Role: Co-Founder

With the Bitcoin pricing sitting at around $17.5K, up from $4k in March, Bitcoin has had an incredible year. 

With institutional investors starting to take note, unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy highlighting the importance of sound money and corporations adding Bitcoin to their treasuries, the outlook is very bullish.

With such a rapidly evolving market, it is hard to keep track of everything that is happening. To help with this Dan McArdle has created CaseBitcoin; a website that compiles information and resources on the different value propositions of Bitcoin, its price history in comparison to critical markets & traditional assets and provides a library of some of the best articles and literature on Bitcoin.

In this interview, I am joined by the creator of casebitcoin.com, Dan McArdle. We discuss the current bull market, comparisons to 2017, the current economic climate and how newcomers to Bitcoin can navigate the space.
