We also have a huge segment led by the Geordie Prince taking a look at the performance of Ken's Coin of the Week picks! You may be surprised at how many legitimate crypto funds have lost out to the glorious Ken Dex...
This week Ken is not here so we miss out on the notorious Ken's coin of the week, but we do however take a look at the Syscoin/Binance disaster. What happened and who can we blame? Pro tip: Binance probably didn't get hacked. Coinbase Custody has gone live, will this make us all rich on institutional fat cat's money? Fcoin congested the Ethereum network, we tell you how annoying that is. Prince gives a full rundown of Beak's coins of the week and compares performance with Mike Novogratz, ex manager of Fortress Capital and Beak gives us some sage advice and has a punt at what may be the best performing coin from the week. As always, NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. All this, and more, from another prime episode of Crypto Weekly. Dangerously close to educational.

If you enjoy the show head on over to www.patreon.com/cryptoweekly and support the time and effort we put in to creating such a wonderful work of art. Or don’t, no pressure! This week the big news finally came that the SEC does not consider Ether to be a security. The Bitcoin maximalists went absolutely wild, but no one on the Crypto Weekly team was surprised. What does this mean going forward? EOS mainnet launch continues to get off to a rocky start as their blockchain is paused after just two days. In addition, an ‘order’ is put through to block producers to halt all transactions for a set of addresses. Crypto Weekly question if the launch of EOS could have possibly gone any worse and whether or not they have even achieved decentralisation. Bithumb gets hacked, again, but the Crypto Weekly team attempt to put a more positive spin on things. The news culminates in a look at the most recent ‘audit’ for Tether. Ken’s Coin of the Week moves back into NEET territory to discuss the possibility of monetizing in game accomplishments. Could we be moving into a time when people are paid to grind away on games? Beak gives another quality run down on the market and provides another attempt at calling a big performer in the coming week. And all that makes a Crypto Weekly! Dangerously close to educational.
