london we have glen goodman author of the crypto trader and in liverpool we have gavin brown a senior lecturer in financial technology at the university of liverpool gentlemen welcome to you all glen in london coming to you 1st why is there no stopping bitcoin bitcoin has been on a roll now pretty much since it was invented you know the trajectory has been upward and every few years the price in particular has a stumble and a major stumble or that in fact every single time there's a dip it kind of gets to the point where a lot of people even in the industry are starting to question whether it's going to last in the long term but that always turns out to be a sort of false crisis and very quickly good news starts happening the price starts rising and everything gathers steam again and every time we get $1.00 of these booms which happen every few years there are more and more announcements that come along this time from financial institutions mainly and large companies like tesla that kind of reinforce the idea that bitcoin is being integrated into the international financial system the original plan of course was for it to be utterly renegade on the outside
