Weekly Rundown - May 1, 2022

Are we doing this or not?

Happy May and عيد مبارك to those who celebrate it. I’m feeling quite ill so I will keep this rundown short with a different format.

Did you catch my update from earlier this week? If not, please do. In the update, I talked about some recent changes in miner behaviors and some trends in stablecoins that you may want to see.

Catch the April 26, 2022 Update

In last week’s rundown, I asked which price will come first for bitcoin—$33,000 or $52,000?

58% of respondents said $33,000.

Granted, that was from only 182 votes, which is very low for my polls, so take that for what it’s worth. From the sentiment I’m getting from social media and the bitcoin fear/greed index, I would have expected more people to select $33,000. Seems like the overwhelming consensus says we are about to have a massive drop, presumably below $33,000.

Paid subscribers, I’ll have one or two updates this week. Everybody else—scroll down for some interesting stuff you may enjoy.


I don’t post much on YouTube, just occasional short videos that don’t fit very well in this newsletter. I posted three short QA videos just the other day, if you’re interested.

Reminder: stake your altcoins when possible. It’s free crypto and the only way to fight the inflation that comes from token rewards.


Relax and enjoy the ride!
