Bitcoin helped spawn a digital assets industry that is worth hundreds of billions today. And while the original cryptocurrency may not incorporate every new and exciting innovation that emerges from the fast-paced ecosystem development, Bitcoin remains the largest contender by market capitalization and embodies the ethos of security through decentralization and code-as-law more than perhaps any other protocol.

Growth in the industry doesn’t appear to be leaving Bitcoin behind, and developers are hard at work on a multitude of projects to bring even greater functionality and ease of use for Bitcoin to a larger and larger global audience. But can Bitcoin become an integral part of a global financial system based on sound money?

In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Dan Held, Director of Growth Marketing at Kraken*.
