Research continually shows that consumers find cryptocurrencies difficult to understand — and we're determined to change that. We're available in all the places you get your podcasts — including [Apple Podcasts,]( [Spotify]( and [Google Podcasts.]( Here's what happened on this week's show: on this week's show?]( We begin by recapping a terrible week for the crypto markets — Bitcoin was trading around $39,000 on Friday, Jan. 21 — but by Monday, it had tumbled to lows of $33,000. Wall Street has been hit hard too, with investors worried about geopolitical tensions in Ukraine… and the prospect of fiscal tightening. Although BTC did near $39,000 once again on Wednesday, prices fell as Jerome Powell confirmed that the central bank will likely start increasing interest rates from March. Diem dead… and is this a good thing?]( CoinMarketCap's Molly Jane Zuckerman also joins us to discuss the stories that caught her eye this week. We begin with reports that, in a massive blow to Mark Zuckerberg, the Diem digital currency may be dead. According to Bloomberg, the Diem Association is weighing up whether to sell its assets, and move engineers to a new home. But was Facebook (now Meta) ever fit to run a digital currency in the first place? NFTs… and Grimacecoin mania]( Plus, there's a new browser plugin that allows Twitter users to automatically block profiles that have an NFT avatar. The extension's inventor argues that it's irritating to be around people who collect non-fungible tokens. Why do people hate NFTs so much… and do they have a point? We also discuss how a light-hearted conversation between Elon Musk and McDonald's resulted in a frenzy — with dozens of memecoins inspired by Grimace, one of the fast food chain's characters, launching this week. Is this just a bit of harmless fun… or is this dangerous for opportunistic investors? Thanks for reading! Have a great day — more news tomorrow!
