BayernLB, a bank based in Munich, Germany, has produced a report on Bitcoin’s hard monetary policy versus those of various precious metals.

BITCOIN NETWORK EXPERIENCES SLOWEST BLOCK IN 5 YEARS [bitcoinist.com]
The Bitcoin (BTC) network produced an unusually slow block, taking 119 minutes to discover the block number. The anomaly is happening despite the record activity of miners. It is highly unusual that the block number was so difficult to discover. As of October 1, the Bitcoin collection of miners performed a total of 89 quintillion hashing operations each second.

Perhaps, the best and the most unexpected rally was the April 2019 rally that pushed the price of Bitcoin in a fashion similar to the rally leading up the $20,000. The rejection at this level was more bearish than anticipated, or it will be, depending on how Bitcoin will react henceforth.

Dr. Craig Wright at CoinGeek Seoul: Finding new paths to Bitcoin use [coingeek.com]
The first day of CoinGeek Seoul ended with the man who, as Steve Shadders described, is “more than just a myth. Dr. Craig Wright, Chief Scientist at nChain, took the stage to speak on the topic of “Payments & Privacy: New Inventions for Bitcoin SV.”
Wright concluded his speech by emphasizing just how little he cares about the public perception of Bitcoin, in the end: I don’t care if they want to like Bitcoin, I care if they use it. Not HODL it. Use it. And if every person on Earth is using Bitcoin, there’s a lot of Bitcoin being distributed to a lot of people. Goes up in value. Everyone’s happy, well at least if you’ve got Bitcoin you’re happy anyway. So this is the whole point. We need to start building applications that people are going to use.

Ethereum Uptrend Flagging at Important Resistance – Price Analysis [cryptoglobe.com]
