Indonesia tightens grip on crypto exchanges

Hi there,

I’ve always been a fan of the All-In podcast, which features four billionaires talking about current hot topics.

In one of their recent episodes, they went all in on Bitcoin.

The takeaways were pretty insightful: They talked about how the likes of Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger, and Howard Marks are all legendary investors and yet are not technologists.

These bigwigs all hate Bitcoin and sound like my grandma asking me what channel Netflix is on her TV.

The podcasters also spoke about how Bitcoin can be the perfect solution to the separation of state and church. While governments can control fiat currencies, Bitcoin cannot be controlled by a centralized government or printed infinitely.

In today’s Big Story, we throw the spotlight on the Indonesian government’s take on regulating the country’s crypto market. Fun fact: Locally issued crypto tokens could possibly join palm oil or coal among the country’s major export commodities.

Our subscriber-only analysis has all the details you’re looking for!
