CRYPTO QUESTIONS

Question from R5Net - Thoughts on Tron?
Comment from T Bisc - Heard your comments about Bitmex last show. Think the concerns about using a VPN are overblown. I haven’t encountered any issues.
Question from Chat Bot - Doesn’t it seem like most of these big crypto “exchanges’ like Kraken and Coindesk are really just brokers in disguise?
Question from TokenMania - When can we expect more physically settled crypto contracts coming down the pike. Particularly interested in ETH and LTC.
Question from Tim Michaels - Has the recent pop in BTC caused any changes to the call skew for BTC options?
