Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
gm friends,
BTC continues to flirt around its ATH. Bulls and bears on the timeline seemingly change opinion day by day.
We remain rangebound, but the set up continues to get better, so I’m hoping for a break to the upside:
The ECB cut rates this week (the Fed won’t be too far behind), BTC ETF inflows came back in force, ETH ETFs are about to launch & Robinhood acquired BitStamp demonstrating a huge commitment to growing their crypto business.
Patience.
New thing alert: I launched a Telegram channel recently. It’s free to subscribe for more market updates, DeFi & airdrop opportunities.
