Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.

It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.

What's going on, guys? It is Saturday, October 28th, and that means it's time for the weekly recap.

Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying the breakdown, please go subscribe to it,

give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation,

come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit.ly

slash breakdown pod. Hello friends, we are back with

another top five most important stories in crypto this week. This, of course, is the conversation

that I have live with Scott Melker on Friday mornings. Now, this week, there are two big,

big blaring things that stand out. One is, of course, the SBF testimony, and the second,

which is way more significant in many ways, is the attempt to blame crypto for Hamas' attack on

Israel a couple weeks back. Now, we got a lot more information in that story this week.

Elliptic basically said that the Wall Street Journal had misinterpreted

what it said, but of course we've gotten no corrections from the Wall Street Journal.

And even if we did, the damage would likely already have been done. We also talk a little bit about

the big pump this week. All in all, a very dynamic and exciting week, so let's dive in.

Quite a week that we've had, huh?

Indeed.

It's been a week.

It's funny because we always talk about how hyperbolic and exaggeratory our titles

are allowed to be.

Yeah.
