In over 180 episodes, this is by far the most unusual. In today’s episode, we break down the wreckage from the weekend as a new week kicks off with the worst Monday for financial markets since the global stock crash of 1987, known as Black Monday. As a result, crypto has plunged, wiping out over $500 billion from its market cap in just the past 24 hours.
