Bitcoin’s New 2020 High, US Marshals Bitcoin Auction and More on the Bad Crypto Podcast

Published at: Feb. 7, 2020

This week’s episode of the Bad Crypto podcast condenses the latest blockchain news into easy listening format. And it’s a good week to be in the know on crypto and blockchain topics.

Bitcoin’s bull run continues, and the price is lately flirting with $10,000. The Winklevoss twins have gone on a stablecoin patent extravaganza, and Ethereum godfather Vitalik Buterin shared his unflattering opinions on Bitcoin Cash.

Though Coinbase is a large and established exchange, some users reported issues withdrawing more than $10 in BTC per day. And there is rising speculation that only an Andrew Yang presidency will actually move Bitcoin adoption into the mainstream.
