Chris D talks about the most hated (or loved) cryptocurrency space. This is not an episode about HODL’ing, moons and lambos. Rather Chris talks about some of the features and benefits of trading cryptocurrencies. Differences between spot and the Bitcoin CME futures markets and some perspective of commodities, tech stocks and crypt as the new asset class.

Chris chats with fellow trader Darrin Johnson. Darrin is a volatility trader, trading for himself rather than working at a firm. His ideas, approach and techniques to trading are rigorously researched and thought through. He has spent a lot of time getting really good at focusing on what works, eliminating that which doesn't help him.  Darrin does a great job of explaining his approach to volatility and how we all are vol traders, one way or another.  You can find Darrin on Twitter at @darjohn25 As always you can reach me on Twitter @chrisdmacro and on Instagram @chrisdmacro or email me at chris@macro-ops.com If you aren't already signed up for our amazing email list, do it, do it now, and allow some amazing macro research and thoughts into your inbox!
