CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Bitcoin Is the ‘No Heroes’ Asset

Bitcoin Twitter’s latest skirmish with Elon Musk has as much to say about the nature of power in a social media landscape as it does about bitcoin.

  • What is says about Elon Musk specifically
  • What it says about power in a social media-powered world

Just five months into the year, the U.S. is on track to break a troubling record. Last year, 44 transgender people were killed in the U.S. and its territories. So far this year, the count is close to two dozen, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Those are just the cases that we know of.
