First Half Topics:
-Spreads are widening at Bitcoin exchanges amid recent banking issues affecting multiple exchanges including Bitfinex, Bitstamp and Poloniex. What's going on here and is this likely to end anytime soon?

-Litecoin recently had an 8 hour scaling debate that ended with miners & exchanges agreeing to adopt segwit. Do we think segwit will get adopted on litecoin and are these scaling agreement round tables the best way to decide the fate of a cryptocurrency?

-Whalepanda released an article entitled "The Bitcoin Dominance Indicator Fallacy" a couple days ago wherein he makes the claim that The Bitcoin Dominance Indicator is being used most often to instill fear into newcomers in order to promote alt coins or used as a sign that Bitcoin is losing it's market share. Do we agree with this and will the index ever rise again to 90+ percent?

Second Half with Special Guest:
-Can you tell us a little bit about what OpenDime is, how it got started and why you think i'ts so important?

-Will any other coins be supported?

-Questions from panelists.
