Cheddar's "The Crypto Craze" covers the latest trends, and news in the space. This was one of the worst weeks for Bitcoin, which fell below $8,000. Cheddar's Baker Machado and Brad Smith break down the factors driving volatility and the state of regulation in this space.
Bitcoin developer Jimmy Song explains why he remains bullish. "This is something that has happened in the past and will happen in the future," says Song. "If you're looking out five to ten years this is an excellent investment."

Foreign governments are reportedly skirting international sanctions through the use of cryptocurrency. Axios' reporter Shannon Vavra explains the dangers of this digital currency and the challenges facing regulators.
"The fact that sanctions, regimes, and regulations right now aren't keeping up with the innovation in cryptocurrency is something that leaders around the world are bound to be watching right now," says Vavra.
