Over the weekend, I published a pair of pieces about the crypto markets: “Return of the Great American Bubble Machine,” and “The Financial Bubble Era Comes Full Circle.” One story was a general overview of contradictions plaguing the crypto market, the other a dive into some troubling questions about Circle Internet Financial, makers of the stablecoin USDC.

Going to be hopping on Callin tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. EST to talk about both stories, and more, with old friend, Monkey Business co-host and TK contributor Eric Salzman, who’s a longtime finance vet. Although we’re both relative neophytes to the crypto world, Eric was the first person who was able to explain the black comedy of 2008 to me, and we’re both catching a strong déjà vu vibe with this market. Clink on the link above to join us tomorrow!
