With the New Year firmly behind us, Dave, Jeff and Ahmed start to look at some of the more quirky stories of the last few days in the latest episode of the Transatlantic Cable.

To kick things off, we look at the roller-coaster that is the price of bitcoin (and to a larger extent, crypto prices in general) and wonder how much further things can slide, from there we discuss the recent news that SEGA isn\\u2019t going to pursue NFTs (for now) due to the negative feedback from gamers. Following that, we look at a story that beggar\\u2019s belief: it involves passing wind, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and thousands of dollars \\u2013 no, I\\u2019m not making this up \\u2013 go check it out yourself with the link below.

From there we look at a story that hackers are trying to penetrate U.S government institutions by posting USBs loaded with malware in the hopes that employees will insert them into computers to find out what\\u2019s inside.

Also on this week\\u2019s episode is an exclusive interview with Fabio Assolini and Santiago Pontiroli from Kaspersky GReAT to talk about financial predictions in 2022.
