The spread of Coronavirus has dominated the news cycle across industries, but the discussion has been particularly fierce in both the finance and tech worlds, with crypto right in the lead. 

For a month or more, prominent crypto voices have been discussing the event in terms of skepticism of reported government cases, questions of market impact, and plans for personal preparation. 

NLW surveyed more than 1500 people on Crypto Twitter to ask why crypto was so interested in the Coronavirus. 

These were their top answers.

Most people don’t understand the extent to which law enforcement and the Border Patrol become humanitarian and first-aid responders to illegal immigrants trying to enter the country, according to Sheriff Mark Lamb of Pinal County. I recently traveled to the U.S. Mexico border, and spoke with Sheriff Lamb, who serves an Arizona county about 60 miles from the border. Sheriff Lamb joins the podcast to talk about the largely unknown humanitarian role of law enforcement and the border patrol with illegal immigrants. Read the lightly edited interview, posted below, or listen on the podcast.

• Why building a crypto bank is important in the context of macro market turmoil
• How Coronavirus is exposing pre-existing problems in the global economy
