Crypto Podcasts and YouTubers

The cryptocurrency industry is still very new, and listening to podcasts or watching YouTube videos can be dangerous if they're not from a trusted source. There are many maximalists that promote their coin or token and dismiss all the others. There are even crypto scams ("send us 1 ETH and we will send you 2 ETH back"). There are empty ICOs, and YouTubers that try to sell you something. Everybody has a strong opinion as to where the price of a Token/Coin will go. So, who can you trust? In this week's Crypto Corner, Robert Koenig presents a list of podcasts and YouTube Channels we subscribe to. Let us know who you are following in the comments below.
