Happy Tuesday Folks! What's Poppin? Bitcoin. Next stop $22K and if it can get above that for a few days $30K. Well, the bidding process is done and FTX is the winner so far; still requires court approval. Bottom line - it's still going to be awhile before customers of Voyager will have access to any funds and the amount of those funds are still up in the air. That said, if you have assets on there, especially $BTC, HODL HODL HODL. Why? Bitcoin is very forgiving in that if you HODL and the price appreciates you might be able to recover faster.

On the heels of that it appears the Wintermute hack might have been an inside job and Do Kwon mocks Interpol's Red Notice and moves 3,310 $BTC; the authorities are looking to freeze them.
