The Sunday Recap – Down the Rabbit Hole 16
As usual, the cryptoverse threw up more than its fair share of interesting and in some cases, downright exciting, developments. Price threatened to rally then decided to bide its time for a while yet. Institutional money finally makes an appearance in the market, a shot across the bow of the bear perhaps? The SEC hints at soon to be announced regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. Bitcoins monthly chart shows a very interesting pattern. The managing director of Co-Venture gives us a peek into his trading mindset. A developer unpacks Cardano and finds a lot to like. Perhaps most interestingly of all, LiquidApps may have unlocked scaling for EOS.

Does Twitter and by extension social media actually act to stifle big ideas? (I think no, but worth a moment of reflection.):

So the bear trend remains firmly in place and ultimately shows few tangible signs of running out of steam. However, while we await sunnier developments in the broader market, the fundamentals of crypto grow ever more solid. Many projects may be on the way out but the key players show resilience and continual tech improvements. There’s a lot to like out there and far more to learn! As usual, looking forward to your comments and reflections.
