The Confusing Battle For Freedom – CHAINLETTER 38
Price action as we go into Autumn remains subdued. We explore some signs of life and revisit the important drivers.
Bitcoin Supply/Demand Dynamics Re-examined – CHAINLETTER 37
The crypto market feels nervous and unloved, but this is the consequence of an overshoot at the start of the year. It’s classic that attention is wandering just as it gets interesting.
