CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Sorry, Bloomberg: Here Are 6 Reasons Why 2020 Is a Great Year for Bitcoin
A Bloomberg senior editor today argued there were six reasons why 2020 was bad for bitcoin. Here’s the opposite case.
Today on the Brief:
- Stocks down on coronavirus fears
- Demand destruction
- The looming retirement crisis
This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace.
Our main theme:
Bitcoin is up more than 30% on the year. After a crash alongside equities, it has proved incredibly resilient. There are famous new entrants to the space like Paul Tudor Jones II.
So how can a Bloomberg editor argue the year has been bad for bitcoin?
In this response podcast, NLW argues that most of the arguments are about narrative, not the underlying fundamentals. He presents six reasons why not only has it not been a bad year, but the exact opposite is true:
- Demonstrated institutional uptake
- Demonstrated resilience
- New champions
- Narrative fundamentals
- Need in emerging markets
- End of economic orthodoxy

SCOTUScast - Lucky Brand Dungarees v. Marcel Fashions Group – Post-Decision SCOTUScast
On May 14, 2020, in an opinion by Justice Sotomayor the Supreme Court, in a vote of 9-0, reversed and remanded the case Lucky Brand Dungarees v. Marcel Fashions Group holding:
Because the trademark action at issue challenged different conduct—and raised different claims—from an earlier action between the parties, Marcel cannot preclude Lucky Brand from raising new defenses, including a defense that Lucky Brand failed to press fully in the earlier suit.
To discuss the case, we have Paul Stancil, Professor of Law at Bingham Young University.
