We discuss how Congress is calling for Facebook to halt all Libra activities until regulators have a chance to dissect and regulate the project, casting doubt on whether Libra will ever launch.

The court case will continue later this summer. Hear about a Canadian weed dealer who trafficked marijuana on the original Silk Road and then went to prison, and now he wants his Bitcoins (BTC) back.

We discuss how Iran has seized 1,000 Bitcoin (BTC) mining rigs, and is saying that it is illegal to mine with electricity from the national power grid.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) has had a wild past 24 hours, peaking as high as $13,880 yesterday afternoon before declining as low as $11,200 this morning.

On this edition of the Crypto.IQ Daily Radio Show we do a deep dive market analysis. Bitcoin (BTC) has broken through $10,000 and is already approaching $11,000. It appears the major factors driving this bull run are a possible stock recession in the next year, tensions with Iran that could lead to a global scale war, and the May 2020 block halving. It seems quite possible that this bull run could eventually take Bitcoin (BTC) well beyond its previous all-time high of $20,000.

Apparently war between the United States and Iran almost broke out last night, and it seems that one more incident in the Strait of Hormuz would be all it takes to cause a war. Speculation regarding war with Iran may be fueling bullishness in the crypto market. We discuss how Bitcoin (BTC) and 10 year Federal Treasury bond yields are strongly correlated. Essentially, when 10 year bond yields decline Bitcoin (BTC) goes up, meaning that when people rush into long term bonds as a safe haven they also buy Bitcoin (BTC).

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $9,300 this morning, and it appears it could be testing resistance near $9,400-$9,500 sometime today. Increasing tension with Iran may be fueling Bitcoin (BTC) demand. Additionally the stock market is at its long term resistance level, and if history repeats itself and stocks go down from this level, it may fuel increased Bitcoin (BTC) demand. We discuss how the Founder of QuadrigaCX, Gerald Cotten, was making fake accounts on the exchange and loading them with fake money, and then buying real cryptocurrency with the fake money. Cotten then withdrew the cryptocurrency for margin trading and lost tens of millions of dollars due to multiple trading account liquidations. This disproves the original story that QuadrigaCX lost all their money because Cotten died with the private keys for the cold wallet.
