Work From Home VS Tech, BTC Prediction by EOY, Dollar Strength?, Global Debt-GDP, $28M for a seat? and more w/ Dilen of TCC
So today I am joined by Dilen of The Crypto Circle, we covered so much in this episode I highly suggest you listen to it all to get the most out of it.
There is a lot going on in the world right now and there is a lot of different opinions out there. Myself & Craig Hill cover a lot of the current hot topics and give our opinions on the matter.
So I thought I would talk about a few things that I've had messages around including the bull and bear case of Bitcoin and opinions on this topic, and also around from my opinion the biggest Ponzi scheme out there, not stocks, not crypto, not the housing market, not even pensions!
