Pick of the Week

![](https://i.imgur.com/O6by5k1.jpg) https://unsplash.com/photos/thI_CZAB0MY The crypto market rebounded somewhat this past week though whether or not this has staying power is far from clear. What is apparent however is the continuing unraveling of global equity markets. Expect more 'emergency' measures and QE to follow. A momentous week for crypto adoption with India's Reserve Bank ban being over-turned by the Supreme Court. Add to this positive regulations being passed in Germany, South Korea, and France. The future looks bright but you likely know that already. --- # Pick of the Week As usual, there's lots to choose from but [this wide-ranging discussion](https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Z4T5A9fCKMogOPQP1AVA1) of the house of card structure of the current financial apparatus is a must-listen. --- # Twitter A thread on lesser known BTC adoption drivers (recommended): https://twitter.com/anilsaidso/status/1234645533098004480 At least, HEXscam has given us this gem: https://twitter.com/GordonBuckley3/status/1233192325972516865 Bitcoin has a lot to teach you (highly recommended): https://twitter.com/ChrisEspley1/status/1233654463476490243 Want to play a role in Bitcoin code development? - here's how (highly recommended): https://twitter.com/_k3tan/status/1233982964033130496 Briefly exploring BTC resilience: https://limitlesscuriosity.com/essays/bitcoins-social-antifragility A Bitcoin OG's fall from grace: https://twitter.com/surferjimw/status/1233736762889031681 A neutral take on the Justin Sun/Steemit saga: https://twitter.com/Truthforce6/status/1234720323418886145 Eth is not sound money: https://twitter.com/panicfomo/status/1235129748394827777 Recent trial-run scenario's re pandemics have highlighted some high probability outcomes: https://twitter.com/samwashdc/status/1233438868029964288 The Corona Virus is not priced-in (highly recommended): https://twitter.com/RaoulGMI/status/1235165696562286592 The Fed seems low on options (this was prior to 0.5% emergency rate cut: https://twitter.com/NorthmanTrader/status/1234227833024720896 --- # Articles Examining questions such as 'When are your bitcoins actually “yours”?'
