Bitcoin Weekly (5/2/2022)

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Weekly, here we will get you up-to-date on everything Bitcoin (BTC).  Last week the "king of crypto" was down again closing out a poor month of April. For the month, bitcoin was down 15.5% which set the tone for cryptocurrency in general which was down about 20% on average.  US stocks all saw down months with the Dow down 4.9%, the S&P 500 down 8.8% and the  NASDAQ down 13.3%, the largest drop for the tech heavy index since October 2008.  The weekend was rough for BTC, especially the final day of the month on Saturday, but support levels around $38K are holding pretty well but resistance is also holding strong just above $40K to keep the coin in narrow trading. In the news, Warren Buffet is doubling down on his criticism of bitcoin saying he wouldn't buy all of it in the world for $25, something Elon Musk found quite funny.  The US dollar strengthened during the month which is is an indicator BTC move in inverse to with the U.S. dollar index (DXY) hitting its highest level since 2002. The final week of April saw a new record of dormant BTC supply at 64%, however this couldn't reverse the dip trend. This week we have Federal Reserve meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday which will no doubt move markets, especially any announcements made on Wednesday.   **Bitcoin Price Statistics** *(as of 5/2/2022, 8:00pm EST)* Bitcoin Price = $38,564 Last Week = $40,158 Weekly High = $40,606 Weekly Low = $37,777 Market Cap = $729,281,298,084 Market Cap Dominance = 40.40% All-Time High = $69,044.67 *on November 10, 2021* statistics provided by CoinGecko **Ten Must-Read Bitcoin Articles** Warren Buffett gives his most expansive explanation for why he doesn't believe in bitcoin (CNBC) https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/30/warren-buffett-gives-his-most-expansive-explanation-for-why-he-doesnt-believe-in-bitcoin.html Bitcoin Immune to 'Sell in May' Adage if History Is Guide (CoinDesk) https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2022/05/02/bitcoin-immune-to-sell-in-may-adage-if-history-is-guide/ El Salvador Bitcoin wallet shows "strong sign of adoption," exec says (Coin Telegraph) https://cointelegraph.com/news/el-salvador-bitcoin-wallet-shows-strong-sign-of-adoption-exec-says Bitfarms mined 405 Bitcoin in April, now holds 5,646 BTC (Bitcoin Magazine) https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/bitfarms-mined-405-bitcoin-in-april-now-holds-5646-btc Solana Co-Founder believes Bitcoin needs to change to POS consensus to remain relevant (Bitcoin News) https://news.bitcoin.com/solana-co-founder-believes-bitcoin-needs-to-change-to-proof-of-stake-consensus-to-remain-relevant/ You're not late to the Bitcoin Party (Data Driven Investor) https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com/youre-not-late-to-the-bitcoin-party-experts-predict-that-once-the-institutional-investors-5f4c1824ce82 Panama is poised to approve the use of Bitcoin and 8 other cryptos "without limitation' (Fortune) https://fortune.com/2022/04/29/panama-legalize-use-bitcoin-cryptocurrencies-legal-tender/ Alex Adelman: The Rewards of Bitcoin (CoinDesk) https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/04/29/alex-adelman-the-rewards-of-bitcoin/ Does Bitcoin have intrinsic value?
