Disclaimer: This episode contains lots of arguing and gloating, so turn your volume down.

What’s there to argue about in the business world, you ask? Only Bitcoin, and the mayhem it has brought the finance world.

We also discuss the rollercoaster ride that is Bitcoin prices, which fell from $20,000 last year to below $4,000 recently. We guesstimate where prices are headed now and what fueled the plunge in prices.

Are there really solid fundamentals for cryptocurrencies, as Sarah argues? Or is our resident Grinch right when they say cryptocurrencies are only as valuable as you make them out to be?
