Summary
Bitcoin is up more than 8% in the last 24 hours. BSV, meanwhile, is up nearly a whopping 100%. The question is, of course, why? Is it some larger macro context? A pump-and-dump? Or just the crypto markets being as crazy as they are. The Breakdown invited guest Mati Greenspan, former e-Toro analyst and now founder of Quantum Economics to give his take.
We also look at two stories around the growing crypto derivative markets: the launch of the CME’s options on bitcoin futures and CFTC Chair Heath Tarbert’s comments yesterday that regulated derivatives will bring legitimacy to the space. Finally, we look at a just-released Investor Alert from the SEC on IEOs.

| 1:16.0 | Welcome back to The Breakdown. What's going on, guys? It is Tuesday, January 14th. And today, |
| 1:23.0 | of course, we are going to be talking about the price of Bitcoin. It is hovering at 8730 at the time of this recording up 7.66% in the last 24 hours. And of course, this is the |
| 1:29.6 | latest in a surge that's been going on for the past couple weeks. And my general feeling about |
| 1:35.2 | short-term price action is that if you zoom out and you think about this new asset and this new |
| 1:40.5 | asset class holistically, short-term price action is one of the least interesting things |
| 1:44.5 | about it. However, it is undeniable that these moments where the price spikes, where the markets start |
| 1:50.3 | to rally and race, they are engaging and exciting and they drive attention and they keep people |
