	Description:		On this week’s CoinMarketRecap podcast with Connor Sephton, we explain why Septembers tend to be a terrible month for Bitcoin — and why prices often surge in Octobers. In other news, an Ethereum developer who attended a crypto conference in North Korea has pleaded guilty to conspiring to help the country evade sanctions. This week’s guest is Ethan Lou. He was on that trip to Pyongyang — and explains what happened. Ethan also talks to us about Gerald Cotten, the crypto exchange founder who reportedly died on his honeymoon in India — leaving 76,000 investors unable to access their funds. In a new book, Ethan describes meeting Gerald in 2014. We ask him what the troubled entrepreneur was like — and about the rumors that the QuadrigaCX boss faked his own death. Plus, CoinMarketCap’s Molly Jane Zuckerman talks us through some of the other crypto headlines — including Elon Musk’s latest comments, why old memes are selling for big bucks, and a hamster that’s outperforming the FTSE and Dow by purchasing altcoins.
