Are We Reliving History?

Dave Weisberger, ViableMkts

“The important thing to understand about crypto is it’s polymorphic… meaning that the same thing can be an investment,… it can be a commodity… or it can be a currency.”

Dave Weisberger

Did you know that when bitcoin was trading at its highs in December 2017, one could regularly purchase it for $1,000-$2,000 less than the “highs” being reported in the news? In this video from MarketsWiki Education’s World of Opportunity event in New York, Dave Weisberger, head of equities at ViableMkts, compares the current state of crypto trading infrastructure to previous market structure issues.
