Well, it was seven days of twists and turns, and we’re not necessarily talking about crypto prices. Tezos rallied on news from major exchanges, an analyst discussed why DOGE is doing better than most altcoins, and a report said that a single whale manipulated 2017 Bitcoin rally, though multiple industry players dismissed it. Roger Ver says Bitcoin Cash may be worth 99,900% more, Stellar price skyrocketed following the burn, and while Ripple's customer base went up 50%, the CEO believes and that a bull’s coming for the market, but XRP dropped among worst performers.
And as that was happening, TREZOR denied links to Venezuela, the British government presented new crypto tax rulings; the EU finance ministers might discuss a new draft that advocates a common approach to cryptos; Russia’s crypto law took a confusing turn, but in BTC, ETH and other altcoins; China changed its opinion on BTC mining; and Hong Kong published a framework for crypto exchanges. In the meantime, North Korea is turning young talent into elite crypto hackers.
Among a number of exchange news, we learned that BITMEX found trying to collect email addresses, DX.Exchange closed temporarily while waiting for a merger or sale, Bittrex and FTX are each , and users of Einstein Exchange and ezBtc.ca can’t access their funds. We’ve also learned why crypto business rushes to Turkey, that a law megafirm , and that there are blockchain-powered kettles and hairdryers.
And now, the jokes. Enjoy!

I know it's among jokes, but I hope it's an actual joke.
They’re selling 18k watches that have a bitcoin hardwallet built in. I asked the sales guy - what happens when they steal your watch and get your bitcoin? His answer - “damn, we didn’t think of that.”

There you go, simple and clear: "a guide to help people interpret the bitcoin price chart back to 2013".

Here's another type of interpretation.
Interesting how some try to turn everything into "this is good for bitcoin".
Price pump = moon
Price crash = accumulate!l
ETF yes = herd is coming
ETF no = don't need them
Regulatory support = finally
Regulatory attacks = this is why bitcoin
