Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
Gm friends,
BTC made a new ATH of 70k today.
A lot of people called this asset a scam after the FTX implosion.
They called for the death of crypto and said BTC would never make another ATH.
They were all wrong again.
If you stuck it out through the bear market then you deserve everything coming your way.
