The crypto world is buzzing. If you ask a true believer, they’ll say this is just the beginning of a financial revolution. Ask a skeptic, and they’ll swear we’re watching a bubble inflate in real time, one that could pop at any second. This entire debate is now playing out in a public showdown between two of the biggest names in finance.
