PODCAST: Introducing ’The Breakdown’ With Nathaniel Whittemore

In the debut episode @NLW discusses recent regulatory action, DeFi project on a bitcoin sidechain and a new social media protocol initiative from Twitter.

The last few days have seen significant regulatory action, from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charging Shopin’s CEO with fraud over a $42 million ICO to a major coordinated federal action against an alleged $722 million crypto Ponzi scheme.
