Layah Heilpern has built an international audience by talking about Bitcoin the way most broadcasters won't — directly, with conviction, and without hedging. She joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour with the crypto market bleeding and plenty to say about it.
The conversation starts with portfolios and market sentiment, then widens into the questions underneath: how geopolitics moves Bitcoin, why the UK and US are diverging on crypto, and what it takes to build a media career as a woman in one of the internet's most combative arenas.
