For our Thursday episode, where we discuss the latest in crypto news, we had a long conversation about whether Kim Kardashian really deserved that $1.26 million fine that she got from the SEC for advertising an unregistered security, in this case a token called EthereumMax. We also discussed:
- Crypto happenings surrounding Elon Musk’s renewed bid for Twitter and how crypto markets are responding.
