Barnhardt Podcast #040: BitCoin Bubbles, Beef Bartering, Bacon, and Booze: Believe It

In this episode we discuss BitCoin again: the wild fluctuations in its price, the massive (and growing!) carbon footprint of the global computer network that supports it, and a generous helping of side-topic discussions about price discovery, price stability, arbitrage, liquidity and in the cattle and pork belly (BACON!) markets as well. And since it's a non-Halal show we discussed alcohol a bit as well before wrapping up 2017 and looking ahead to 2018.
