This week on the Patreon, Rivers and Dr. Pat sit down for a deep dive review of what is purported to be the WORST wrestling pay-per-view of all time: 1999's "Heroes of Wrestling". Organized by a man named Bill Stone who OBVIOUSLY had no idea what he was doing, this event was a massive financial and creative failure at the time but it is interesting and UNDENIABLY funny in hindsight. Also, we should add, it's available to watch in its weird ass entirety for free on YouTube. This was such a fun episode and we hope you'll join us for it by signing up for our Patreon.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Is Bitcoin a Safe Haven or ‘Schmuck Insurance’?
Bitcoin is having a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day. Many are using the dump - which from a timing perspective aligns with a broader market selloff among Coronavirus fears - as a way to diminish the “bitcoin as a safe haven” narrative.
In this episode, @nlw revisits that narrative and argues that it is uncomfortably bunched up with the uncorrelated asset narrative, or, as Chamath Palihapitiya calls it “schmuck insurance.”
This episode also covers:
- Central bank digital currency (CBDC) news: Canada says it doesn’t see the need right now but that could change if private cryptos get more traction, while China’s work on a digital yuan is paused due to Coronavirus shutdowns.
- The six year anniversary of Mt. Gox’s lost 750,000 BTC coming to light.
