Bitcoin Weekly (12/5/2022) **Bitcoin Weekly - Edition 36** We have finally reached the last month of the crypto winter year of 2022! Bitcoin (BTC) like almost all cryptocurrencies, has had a rough 12 months or so after reaching its all-time high in November of 2021. To start the year, Bitcoin sat at $47,816 and it has continued to fall steadily ever since outside of the major collapses of Terra Luna and FTX when it has tumbled hard. Bitcoin did finish the week with its third…
Truth Seekers - security ratings on crypto projects The Truth Seekers claim to be the "first crypto project to release security ratings on projects" and any project that helps improve security in crypto is worth looking into. The project is run by a community-lead DAO which aims to bring accountability into the crypto space with their mission of "Accountability Beyond". https://truthseekerskyc.com/ While there are existing KYC and Audit firms that deal with crypto, everyone…
Ethereum Weekly (12/9/22) **Ethereum Weekly - Edition 1** Welcome to the very first edition of *Ethereum Weekly*! I've written a weekly article about Bitcoin since the first week in April, but I've ignored another coin that deserves nearly as much, if not more, attention ever since. To be honest, Ethereum (ETH) is my single largest holding in crypto with Bitcoin following pretty close behind. I'm involved in quite a few Ethereum related projects, much more so than Bitcoin…
Bitcoin Weekly (12/12/2022) **Bitcoin Weekly - Edition 37** Bitcoin (BTC) had another sideways week with very little volatility with a small red candle of just -$13 week over week. Will this narrow trading range hold this week? Not likely with a bevy of critical macroeconomic news due in the US that will no doubt impact the markets. It was the news this week that have everyone in limbo last week and the main culprit behind the lack of any price action. Tomorrow we have the…
Fed Raises Interest Rate Half Percent - What's Next? The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised the interest rate a half a point matching most analyst expectations. The increase is lower than the 75-point basis the agency has raised rates in the last four meetings, an indication that inflation is beginning to ease. After two days of meetings, the Fed is still trying to slow down economic growth and fight off inflation. Since the mark was nearly zero ten months ago, the rate has…
Ethereum Weekly (12/16/22) **Ethereum Weekly - Edition 2** Welcome to the second edition of *Ethereum Weekly*! Ethereum (ETH) like most "risk" assets did not react well to the Federal Reserve's statements and findings which can be found in my article Fed Raises Interest Rate Half Percent - What's Next? The second largest cryptocurrency fell about 2.5% after the Fed's "Hawkish" stance was communicated by Jerome Powell on Wednesday on heavy trading volume of around $8.3…
Bitcoin Weekly (12/19/2022) **Bitcoin Weekly - Edition 38** "Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus"... Well maybe not! With a "Santa Rally" off the table it is hard to imagine how much worse things can get. Bitcoin (BTC) has a pattern this year that is virtually unmistakable, drops hard on bad news, and then trades sideways until the next set of bad news. The problem with this pattern in 2022 is that there has been virtually no good news to drive the largest…
I've Finally Read the Ethereum Whitepaper the Ethereum Whitepaper. While *I Finally Read the Bitcoin Whitepaper* back in April of this year, I've taken even longer to read Vitalik Buterin's 2013 vision of what crypto could be after reviewing Satoshi Nakamoto's work from five years earlier. https://www.publish0x.com/journey-through-crypto-from-newbie-to/i-finally-read-the-bitcoin-whitepaper-xznoeql While Bitcoin brought us "peer-to-peer electronic cash" with its launch,…
Ethereum Weekly (12/23/22) **Ethereum Weekly - Edition 3** Welcome to the third edition of *Ethereum Weekly*! Ethereum (ETH) held up pretty well following the release of GDP data in the United States compared to other assets and asset classes. The second-largest cryptocurrency continues to stay above the $1,200 level which has been an important support level recently. Yesterday we had the release of the final GDP data from the US Commerce Department which showed much…
Twas the Night before Crypto **'Twas the night before Crypto and 2022 was a madhouse** **Not a token was climbing what do I tell my lovely spouse** **The blue chips were bought on the exchanges with care** **But at Celsius and FTX they would no longer be there** **Once again Bitcoin was declared to be dead** **But my bots were still profitable thanks to the spread** **The charts told the story of a scary bull trap** **Looking at the past 12 months sure felt like a slap**…
Bitcoin Weekly (12/26/2022) **Bitcoin Weekly - Edition 39** I hope Santa visited you the weekend, even if he failed to rally the market this year. Ho, Ho, Ho! Happy Boxing Day to everyone in my birth country of England. Bitcoin (BTC) had a very flat week with minimal fluctuation in its price range of less than $200 between the week's low and high points settling in around the $16.8k mark. Unfortunately, the same can not be said for 2022 which has seen the largest…
Ethereum Weekly (12/30/22) **Ethereum Weekly - Edition 4** Welcome to the fourth edition of *Ethereum Weekly*! Ethereum (ETH) held at the $1,200 price point for the week with little movement up or down from its current favorite point on the charts. The second-largest cryptocurrency continues to stay level, looking for direction one way or the other as we close out 2022 which was not a good one for cryptocurrencies including Ethereum. Those hoping for a "Santa Rally" to end…
