Up – 9k then down down and up again. The market is certainly poised for a significant break. A steep retrace seems the most likely short-term outcome but zooming out a little the bull looks in. As typical in crypto, lots of news and narratives to recap. Block.one just announced a faster EOS and a new social media platform -jury’s still out as to whether this was an ‘event’ or not.
Pick of the Week
A thorough examination of the remittance market is my pick of the week. Though this week’s podcast for the following quote alone “Quantitative easing is universal basic income for rich people”, comes in a close second.
