About this episode

Sam Callahan, director of Bitcoin strategy at OranjeBTC, explains his take on the cryptocurrency's resurgence as it crosses back above $80,000. As he states, "pay attention to currency dynamics" and how moves in the U.S. dollar affect cryptocurrencies. Sam sees a similar dynamic between Bitcoin and U.S. policy. Like gold, Sam expects volatility in the crypto space to subside as more institutions increase exposure.
