Currently, deposits and withdrawals are on hold as Binance asks for their customers understanding and promise to reimburse them for their stolen Bitcoin.

They go into the severe dangers of having your crypto on exchanges as you don't own your private keys for your cryptocurrency. John makes the similarities of holding fiat currency in your checking account to keeping your crypto on exchanges without the control of having your private keys.

They explain how important in the age of derivatives it is to own the real thing. It applies to cash, precious physical metals, cryptocurrencies, other assets such as businesses, real estate or land. If you don't own the keys or the title or hold the tangible asset in your possession, you rely on third parties to promise you your asset claims, and you can get a hold of them if you need to use them or sell them.

They also cover Bitcoin breaking above $6k while they recorded as well as the Grayscale Investment "Dump Gold and Buy Bitcoin" campaign, The New York AG going after the Bitfinex the company behind Tether and finally how Coinbase banned Milo.
