Episode Summary

As the dust begins to settle on 2020 and we round the corner to the end of the year, we can see just how wild it was. More than 40 weeks since COVID-19 has started, financial markets dropped by more than 30% and currently are up around 17-20%. However, there’s been one asset class that’s currently up over 200% - cryptocurrency.

With more than $11.5 billion in Bitcoin purchased in the last 90 days and Wall Street firms jumping in - is now the time to invest?
