Bitcoin Weekly (4/11/2022)

Welcome to the second edition of Bitcoin Weekly, here we will get you up-to-date on everything Bitcoin (BTC).  Last week the "king of crypto" was in the news a lot with the Bitcoin Conference taking place in Miami April 6-9 with over 20,000 in attendance. Bitcoin fell below the important $40K mark today and had not closed below this level since March 16th.  The decline came after the ten-year Treasury yield hit 2.77%, a three-year high.  Bitcoin and other assets labeled as "risky" tend to fall when yields rise.  Investors also a factoring in the potential for more monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve.  The FED's minutes (summary) from their March meeting indicates an even more hawkish stance so expect for interest rates to rise and hurt markets across the board. It also appears that the market is reacting to the fact that Terraform Labs, the company behind Lunda and the Terra stablecoin TerraUSD (UST), purchased around $175 million worth of bitcoin over the weekend and that the buying is now largely over.  Tesla recently reversed its stance on accepting bitcoin for payments.  In China, the country ordered mining in the Sichuan province to shut down and also told banks to stop supporting crypto transactions continuing their growing list of restrictions on digital currencies. Bitcoin is once again in negative territory for 2022 and continues its bearish movement since peaking last November.  BTC's correlation to the NASDAQ 100 hit a record high as both continue to move in the same direction to major news. **Bitcoin Price Statistics** *(as of 4/11/2022, 4:00pm EST)* Bitcoin Price = $39,988 Last Week = $45,925 Weekly High = $46,901 Weekly Low = $39,934 Market Cap = $782,593,056,069 Market Cap Dominance = 39.50% All-Time High = $69,044.77 *on November 10, 2021* statistics provided by CoinGecko **Ten Must-Read Bitcoin Articles** Bitcoin Beach: How a Town in El Salvador Became a Testing Ground for Bitcoin (CBS with 60-Minutes Video) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bitcoin-beach-el-salvador-60-minutes-2022-04-10/ Bitcon Struggles to find its Star Power in Miami (Fast Company) https://www.fastcompany.com/90739505/bitcoin-struggles-to-find-its-star-power-in-miami The Meaning of Miami's Castrated Bitcoin Bull (CoinDesk) https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/04/08/the-meaning-of-miamis-castrated-bitcoin-bull/ Tesla, Block and Blockstream Team up to Mine Bitcoin off Solar Power in Texas (CNBC) https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/08/tesla-block-blockstream-to-mine-bitcoin-off-solar-power-in-texas.html Three Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Wallets Come to Life but Only to Kill BTC (Analytics Insight) https://www.analyticsinsight.net/three-satoshi-era-bitcoin-wallets-come-to-life-but-only-to-kill-btc/ Paypal Founder Launches Tirade Against 'Gerontocracry' Over Bitcoin (The Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/08/peter-thiel-paypal-founder-tirade-gerontocracy-bitcoin North Dakota Aims to Draw Bitcoin Miners with Promise of World's 'Cleanest Crypto' (InForum) https://www.inforum.com/news/north-dakota/north-dakota-aims-to-draw-bitcoin-miners-with-promise-of-worlds-cleanest-crypto At Bitcoin 2022, Panelist Identify the Gaps, Uncertainties in Crypto Regulations (Bitcoin Magazine) https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/bitcoin-2022-panel-on-crypto-regulation Two New Territories are Adopting Bitcoin (Fortune) https://www.forbes.com/sites/ninabambysheva/2022/04/07/two-new-territories-are-adopting-bitcoin/?sh=11aa051d499a Why Bitcoin is the Hope and Future of Activist Movements (Bitcoinist) https://bitcoinist.com/why-bitcoin-is-the-hope-of-activist-movements/ **Bitcoin Fun Fact of the Week** Satoshi Nakamoto registered his/her/their birthday as April 5, 1975, on the P2P Foundation.
