On today’s episode, NLW looks at the growing bearish sentiment around the crypto industry. The culprit, he argues, is a deepening macro malaise that has been exacerbated by growing concerns about war in Eastern Europe. That, piled on top of existing inflation concerns and the Fed’s 180-degree shift from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening have the week kicking off in a particularly bearish mood.
