Happy Saturday Folks! Last week was the same story week after week, yo Bitcoin do something! Well it did this week. As I type Bitcoin is trading at $26,509.11 and for the week (M-F) Bitcoin was up $855.50; week over week it's up $659.29. The best performing asset in the past 7 days was again $TON - up 24.64% in position #10 (replacing $TRX) on Coinmarketcap.com; just baffling. Last week the Fear and Greed Index was at 41 and today it's 43; it still didn't creep out of Fear as I assume. Maybe it will next week?
Beside the price, as you can see the topics being covered by the media is not that exciting. A lot of the ANALyst keep trying to talk about which direction the market is headed and that's a fool's errand. While many are concerned about FTX 2.0 they should be paying more attention to BINANCE and that is actually happening. Binance.US is in the spotlight and will anything happen to Binance and CZ as a result? Vitalik getting sim-swapped is horrible and I hope each of you reading have protected yourself against this hack; lock down your sim or have your mobile provider do it for you. Lastly, the Ethereum EIP-7514 proposal included in the Cancun-Deneb upgrade will modify the churn limit, regulating the number of validators that can join or exit the network and also features EIP-4844, a transitional phase towards full Danksharding, expected to reduce gas fees and increase transaction throughput.
What will next week bring?
Keep reading, watching, and listening with me each and every week!
