Another crypto week is behind us, so let’s take a quick look at what happened. Bitcoin soared to pre-crash levels, Cardano announced their new “mainnet wallet”, Hive saw a major pump and a smaller dump on listing news, Telegram’s Gram token launch was postponed indefinitely, Plan B published the updated BTC S2F model with USD 288K as the new target, and BTC’s usage in Argentina may not be connected with a desire to buy fiats like the USD. Meanwhile, multi-client testnet for ETH 2.0 is now live, a new ETH 2 staking calculator is out, and a research found that Ethereum has more whales, but that some of them engaged in market manipulation. Various experts claimed that blockchain is a solution for supply chain issues exposed by the pandemic, while bitFlyer Europe found that Italians believe the most and Brits the least that crypto will be alive in 2030.
Surprisingly, ECB Board Member said market-led currencies can live alongisde digital euro, Russia revealed plans that could drive Russians a step closer to cryptocurrencies, and after raiding exchanges, South Korean identified at least 40 people in the ongoing Telegram Nth Room investigations. While Chinese media outlets rushed to distance the digital yuan from Bitcoin, and Starbucks denied involvement in digital yuan tests, operators said that a Chinese blockchain-powered copyright platform is a success, and a Chinese municipality made a move that could help local miners after Bitcoin halving. Meanwhile, Zilliqa is starting its work on a modular network in 2020, the coronavirus-related lockdown might help the NFT market, and Bitcoin-themed manga series made its debut in Japan.
And now, let’s enjoy some weekend crypto jokes.
__________
Some may say it’s flash fiction, but we know it’s very real.
Wake up, sun is shining, beautiful day, wind playing in the trees, birds singing.
Phone rings: “Hey buddy, have you checked the price?”
Reality sets in, you’re in an underwater short, the world turns upside down.
Worried you open up TradingView on your phone.Fuck.

The F-word is versatile.

Adoption really is near.
I remember when bringing up bitcoin to strangers made me seem like a huge nerd.
Now they just think I’m broke.

I really want to make a CryptoKitties pun, but I don’t have a basis for it. I’ll get my revenge for this, Justin!

Bitcoin is to a banker, as garlic is to a vampire, as kryptonite is to Superman, as Justin is to Hive… .

Certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing.
