This episode picks up on new research by Odeon Capital Group’s DICK BOVE to examine the future of cryptocurrencies, in particular the most popular digital currency of them all, Bitcoin. BOVE says Bitcoin has delivered for investors but the famed bank analyst is critical of this currency as a substitute for conventional money. “This leads to the question as to whether it can actually hold its investment value if it has lost its functional value,” according to BOVE, chief financial strategist at Odeon Capital. “I would think not but we shall see.” MAT VAN ALYSTYNE questions BOVE’s outlook, arguing, for example, that it has proven to be a store of value in some instances.

Also, with host JOHN AIDAN BYRNE, this episode will ask what’s ahead for Twitter following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social media platform for $44 billion. BOVE reminds listeners that Musk is the Thomas Edison of our age, an enterprising genius with a proven track record. VAN ALSTYNE says that stellar record augurs well for Twitter. The episode opens with news on the latest activities of the US Federal Reserve.
