119 – Financial Education: Cryptos, NFTs, and Meme Stocks (Final)

For this final episode of the Financial Education series, we're tackling cryptocurrencies, NFTs, meme stocks, pump & dumps, and what they can teach us about imperialism and the dangers of false comparisons. Just as you can't compare flus to COVID-19 because of the difference in severity and scale, the actions of the US have a different severity and scale than the countries they criticize—just as traditional finance has a different severity and scale to fringe and novel finance.  This series took months to produce, so if you like what you heard, support the show and share this series with friends.
