## Resource

David Z Morris has been covering cryptocurrency for over a decade. And now that Trump has announced a ‘crypto reserve’, you’d think he’d be excited. But a lot of crypto experts think it’s all a pretty bad idea, and David has a hunch it probably won’t happen anyway. We also talk a bit about the ‘crypto czar’, David Sacks, and what role he may play in all of this.
