The Best Way To HODL Bitcoin

Welcome to Thursday Folks! Looks like the exchanges are making the news today. FTX coming in strong with a $1B raise to acquire more Crypto companies, BINANCE hiring Max Baucus, former Senator, to setup an advisory board, and COINBASE secures registration from the Netherlands' central bank. 

As the Fed raised rates 75 basis points once again, the market volatility was all over the place. First it was up, then down, now it's making a push higher as Bitcoin is trading around $19,239.00. There is a new metric that suggest the bottom is imminent (code word for we have no clue where the bottom is) and Ethereum isn't doing so well Post Merge and now it's Cardano's time. Never a boring moment in the world of Crypto right?
