ABOUT

On the first Weekly Recap of 2023, NLW homes in on the political impasse in Washington, D.C., and explores whether a divided Congress (and a divided Republican party within Congress) might be good for crypto in a year when politicians are feeling animosity towards the industry.


“The Breakdown” is written, produced by, and features Nathaniel Whittemore aka NLW, with today’s editing by Michele Musso and research by Scott Hill. Jared Schwartz is our executive producer and our theme music is “Countdown” by Neon Beach. Image credit: mathisworks/Getty Images, modified by CoinDesk. Join the discussion at discord.gg/VrKRrfKCz8.
