Shownotes Transcript

The Coronavirus got really extra real today for markets. A two and a half week selloff was tipped to the next level by a major ratcheting up of action from the US government (which still seemed clearly to be not enough to calm markets).

  • It’s not just bitcoin 
  • Correlation means infiltration
  • Peak fear 
  • Asia on the upswing
