CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Understanding Bitcoin’s Blistering Rise Past $30,000

Bitcoin has started 2021 off with a bang. Here’s what investors and analysts think is driving the rise (and today’s dip) as well as predictions for what happens next. 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io.

The end of December was a momentous time in bitcoin’s history. Not content to clear the psychological barrier of $20,000, bitcoin’s price smashed up almost all the way to $30,000, although it would take the turn to the new year to hit that new high-water mark. 

In this episode, NLW looks at interpretations of why bitcoin is rising, why it dipped today and what analysts and investors think will happen next. This analysis includes:

  • Evidence of institutional FOMO including a rise in bitcoin whale addresses
  • Massive outflows from Coinbase Pro over the weekend 
  • The impact of derivatives liquidations that occurred Monday morning 
  • Commentary from OTC desks on Q1 2021 possibilities

World Book Club - Sjón – Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was

On this month’s World Book Club, Icelandic literary superstar Sjón will be answering questions from readers around the world about his novel Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was.

Set in Reykjavik in 1918, it’s the story of sixteen year old Mani, whose life is completely changed by the arrival of the Spanish flu in the city.

It’s a fascinating novel about human resilience and connections, a love letter to cinema and a portrait of a place at a very particular moment in its history.

Moonstone won The Icelandic Literary Prize in 2013.

Sjón is one of Iceland’s leading novelists and his work has been translated into 30 languages. He’s also a poet and librettist and was Oscar nominated for his lyrics for the film Dancer In The Dark. Presented by Harriett Gilbert.
