Happy Humpday Folks! I admit I was wrong. I thought the bottom was in on Jul 9th and a few days later I saw the immediate pull back as a fluke because from there Bitcoin rallied all the way back up to nearly $25K and then down and back up to $25K again. Well here we are back at $18,736.48. Is this a double bottom? Regardless, bear markets are the greatest buying opportunities so keep stacking sats when you can; do not be like the Degens that are borrowing ETH to get fork tokens.
It's being debated if this Merge is a risky move or climate nirvana. SEBA Bank has enabled staking while $ETH, ETC, and $LIDO all plummet on the eve of the Merge. However, Cred believes the inflation data could create a catalyst that could trigger a "massive" rally for $ETH and other Crypto this month. Meanwhile, Institutional investors are betting on $SOL, $XRP, and $ADA - all while shorting $BTC; maybe they are paying attention to Guy who believes a rally is coming for $ADA - so does Charles Hoskinson. Former OCC head slams unequal regulations between Crypto firms and banks; says they are getting away with murder. Will Ripple launch a CBDC?
Keep your eyes on the mining because price follows hash rate and Marathon Digital just energized 25,000 miners in August; producing 184 Bitcoins. As it applies to Ethereum - F2Pool will end mining $ETH after the merge. Also, Bitcoin Core developers were gifted $325K. Legal Battles continue with Lawyer Roche Freedman possibly creating a sideshow in the Tether Class action suit and Co-Founder of Celsius says his shares are worthless. Even more drama with the FBI seeking information on attackers Bitcoin wallet, Ponzi scheme generating $100K in Crypto, and last but not least a couple getting married Sathoshi style.
