In the world’s No 1 crypto news, in what might be an uneventful December price-wise, as more macro investors are buying into the bitcoin story, and bitcoin's current cycle seems to be "right on track" with "striking similarities" to the previous one, one of the most anticipated upgrades, Taproot, may be coming in 2021, and Adam Back said it's time to say sayonara to satoshis. While Morgan Stanley exec finds that bitcoin is coming for the USD, Ray Dalio may have told us that buying bitcoin to diversify our portfolios is a good idea. Paris Blockchain Week Summit panels participants argued that crypto can disrupt the legacy finance and add another layer on top of it, while crypto and blockchain adoption depends on security, trust, and user experience. Meanwhile, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's week-old token WOZX token doubled in a single day, while Ripple-backed Flare Network prepared for the Spark token airdrop to XRP holders.
Also, banking giant DBS confirmed it'll be launching a crypto exchange, SIX and its partners aim to launch a new service that would enable Swiss banks to offer access to digital assets, and MicroStrategy wants to buy more bitcoin, thus increasing the value of its BTC stash to over USD 1bn. That's not all, as Blockstack token's transformation to non-securities would be 'unprecedented', said Kraken CLO, and an MP from the ruling party said the clampdown on crypto would keep France in the Palaeolithic era of banking. Meanwhile, Facebook can't catch a break, as the renaming of its Libra to Diem resulted in a fintech firm of the same name preparing legal action. While Jeremy Allaire claims that the incoming Joe Biden administration in the US "will ultimately be supportive" of cryptoassets, Venezuela reportedly started to pay companies in Turkey and Iran in bitcoin. As all this was happening, the Cryptoverse was warning hodlers to be careful of fake LEDGER desktop apps.
And now, for the best part of the week: the jokes!

What do we do with our hands now? What’s the use of my phone?
Sad that this is the last Bitcoin bullrun ever. After this is over we will need new things to do; new friends. How will we pass the time? The dollar no longer exists and the world economy operates on Bitcoin, we made it, but we lost our hobby too :-(

Not a joke.
The US dollar is currently worth 5,203 sats. 10 yrs ago it was worth 418,760,469 sats. It's pretty clear which one… https://t.co/7SW1KDZCjY
