Bitcoin attacked, Super Bowl crypto ads, Freedom Convoy — and are your trading habits harmful? Feb 18, 2022

Netflix has ordered a documentary into the Bitfinex saga, as Heather Morgan is granted bail ahead of a trial on suspicion of crypto laundering… but her husband isn't.

The Bitfinex hack: Bitcoin worth $3.6 billion found — and the suspect's WILD past Feb 11, 2022

On this week's CoinMarketRecap, Bitcoin worth $3.6 billion has been recovered in the U.S. — and it's linked to the Bitfinex hack that happened all the way back in 2016.

The case has attracted the attention of traditional media outlets thanks to the colorful life of Heather Morgan. The 31-year-old, who is accused of laundering the stolen crypto, was also a Forbes contributor and a (pretty bad) amateur rapper. Molly Jane Zuckerman joins Connor to discuss this week's developments… and why it might actually be bullish for BTC.

Connor and Molly Jane also discuss the firestorm surrounding Brantly Millegan. The Ethereum Name Service executive has lost his job after tweets he had written back in 2016 emerged. Even his own colleagues had described his remarks about homosexuality and abortion as unacceptable — and many ENS users were outraged. Can the crypto industry move beyond being overwhelmingly white and male — and does the sector have a toxicity problem that simply cannot be fixed?

Are new Bitcoin investors still underwater after the world's biggest cryptocurrency surged to $45,000? Is Russia still planning to ban crypto?

CoinMarketCap's Molly Jane Zuckerman also joins us to discuss a terrible week for Meta. Not only did the tech giant's market valuation suffer the biggest one-day fall in stock market history, but the intellectual property underpinning its Diem digital currency has officially been sold off. And to make matters worse, Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse vision racked up a net loss of $10 billion in 2021.

We also discuss why there's so much visceral hatred for NFTs. Kanye West has declared that he has no interest in creating digital assets, and the video game publisher Team17 has been forced to abandon its plans to launch a Worms-inspired collection after pressure from critics.

And as India announces that it will tax crypto profits at 30%, is the threat of an outright ban on Bitcoin over? Nischal Shetty is the founder of WazirX — India's biggest crypto exchange — joins us to explain why this is a good thing, and why he's excited about the government's plan to launch a digital rupee by 2023.

Bloomberg Intelligence's senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone also explains why he believes it's "a question of time" before Bitcoin hits $100,000 — and whether the crypto markets will suffer an impact as the Federal Reserve turns off the money taps.
Plus, he tells us why so-called "Ethereum killers" such as Cardano and Solana may be at a disadvantage in 2022.
This is the final episode of the current series, and we'll be back on January 14. You can find us on Twitter — @ConnorSephton and @CoinMarketCap.
