With blockchain puppets (we really mean it) on TV, CNBC pushing the bitcoin-as-gold narrative and The Guardian seeing connections between coronavirus and bitcoin's recent rally, we've got a lot to talk about on today's episode of The Breakdown.

  • Why Figure is launching a TV campaign to educate people about blockchain
  • CNBC Fast Money actively (and convincingly) promoting the narrative of bitcoin as a safe haven asset.
