Episode 26 - "Down at the Chinese Buffett"

We discuss Brian's recent trip to China and now since he has been there for two weeks is a certified Asia expert. The conversation follows silly anecdotes on how Brian broke his foot, to deep analysis on the definitions of communism and capitalism. We also cover the bull to bear run in Bitcoin over the past few weeks and debate over whether this might be a "Minsky Moment" for cryptocurrencies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsky_moment). Finally, there is a crypto-style parlay of a bet we made on the cast before this NFL season (Brian bet on the Dolphins to make the playoffs #dumb). Shoutout to our fans in Japan! We didn't visit you on our Asia tour, but we'll get to you next time.
