TD₿: Bitcoin's Upside Volatility - (a guest appearance on the Schwab Network) with Rapha Zagury
TL;DR: Volatility is an important feature for price discovery; it's not a bug. Bitcoin is still a tiny drop in the ocean of liquid assets. But that will soon change!
Hey Bitcoiners,
Swan CIO Rapha Zagury made a guest appearance on the Schwab Network to talk about the current parabolic moves of the Bitcoin price and how the volatility of the asset is a feature, not a bug.
Bitcoin recently passed silver as the 8th largest asset by market capitalization globally… We are all so early still.
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,

The event features expert advice on how corporations can plug into Bitcoin and reimagine their business directly from the market's most credible voices and experienced practitioners.
