CrowdScience - Why am I scared of bridges?

Everyone has fears – but what makes a fear become a phobia? Why are some people scared of spiders (arachnophobia), buttons (koumpounophobia), or the colour yellow (xanthophobia)? Or why are others are scared of situations, like small spaces (claustrophobia), empty rooms (kenophobia) or heights (acrophobia)?

This is a question which has been bothering Crowdscience listener Scott, who has a phobia of bridges. He gets anxious and panicky when driving over bridges and is scared he’ll lose control of the car. It’s also a question that struck a chord with presenter Caroline Steel. She is claustrophobic, particularly in lifts, steering clear of them at all costs and even once climbing nine flights of stairs in crutches to avoid using the lift.

But where do these phobias come from and why do some people have them and not others? To investigate, Caroline speaks to experts to discover where phobias come from, why we have them and how they develop. And she visits a psychologist to learn about different types of treatment for phobias, and to receive treatment herself in the hope that one day, maybe she’ll be able to take the lift instead of the stairs.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: With Execs Leaving and Market Share Declining, Can Binance Survive?

In the wake of FTX’s collapse, Binance – already the biggest exchange in the world by a large margin – has continued to grow. But a series of challenges, including billions of dollars worth of customer outflows, the winding down of its stablecoin BUSD, and suits with the SEC and CFTC related to its U.S. operations have challenged its market dominance. Steven Ehrlich, director of research at Forbes Crypto, joins the show to discuss how Binance has been dealing with a deluge of bad news and how it plans to forge a path forward. 

Show highlights:

  • How the collapse of FTX impacted Binance and its market dominance
  • How Binance has been losing market share over the past few months
  • Why Steven believes that Binance.US is in a "very tenuous situation"?
  • Whether Binance is feeling stronger now that the SEC experienced a partial loss in the Ripple case
  • The consequences of consumers losing trust in Binance
  • The speculation around the recently filed sealed motion filed by the SEC
  • Whether Binance is following in the footsteps of FTX 
  • How Binance.US needs to recuperate some market volume to increase its revenue
