This episode contains strong language.
What started out as a kind of inside joke in the world of cryptocurrency has quickly become, for some, a very serious path to wealth. Today we explore the latest frenzy around a digital currency, what it tells us about the flaws in the old economy — and the risks and rewards of the new one.
Guest: Kevin Roose (https://www.nytimes.com/by/kevin-roose), a technology columnist for The New York Times, spoke with Glauber Contessoto about his investment in Dogecoin.
