Why every time the bitcoin price crashes and recovers, it brings more recalcitrant institutions into the fold Why the most interesting charts of the year to him are those comparing bitcoin to other safe haven assets To hear more from these speakers and many others about where bitcoin meets macro, join us at Invest: NYC on November 12, 2019 in New York City. https://www.coindesk.com/events/invest-2019/register
