Chat I’m going on the BBC World Service in 45 minutes to do my regular spot on the show Business Matters, and the producers want us to talk about bitcoin’s record high. 

What are some smart things I should say about meaningfulness of this milestone?

Bitcoin hitting a record high is less about price and more about legitimacy. We’re seeing traditional finance institutions finally embrace what was once considered a fringe asset

With ETFs now in play and major asset managers like BlackRock involved, Bitcoin is no longer a bet on the fringe… it’s a recognized part of the global financial system

Maybe you can add shift in retail narrative, caution and volatility and maybe broader ecosystem… 

Good luck captain and when can I watch you?

My casts are immutable, but my opinions might get a soft fork.

It’ll be on the radio. I’ll post a link when it’s up.
