Here is the latest crypto fear and greed index. It’s considered a contrarian indicator meaning that when fear is at it’s peak, this often represents the best time to buy. https://alternative.me/crypto/

There's quite a bit published on the topic of Blockchains and how they function. But in learning about how blockchains work, I found myself having to search through hundreds of articles to get a complete sense of the major components. This article is quite lengthy, but I think it compiles the main components of Bitcoin and gives an intermediary understanding of how a proof-of-work blockchain works. For us, Bitcoin was the foundation to understand all other blockchains. I hope this finds you well. Blockchain Explained https://www.cryptoliberate.com/blockchains-explained/

While good for this space in terms of mass adoption and further supply side scarcity, as a whole, remember: if you don't own your private keys you don't own your coin....you are simply using a custodian and are trading numbers on a screen. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-curious-risk-averse-invest-134228546.html

Elon Musk is an uneducated 'tourist' at best, and an unhinged troll at worst when it comes to BTC. This is the same man who wants to have a USB port installed in your head (Neurolink). If that isn't a credibility destroyer, we don't know what is. Anyone who takes their advice on BTC and sells based on his capricious, narcissistic tweets probably deserves losing their position at a loss, anyway. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-is-a-tourist-in-crypto-celsius-network-ceo-says-174246106.html

More evidence to the point that Bitcoin is can actual help tract down criminals better than cash, some of the Bitcoin from the pipeline ransomeware has been recovered. This raises the question though: “How did the FBI obtain the private keys?” https://www.coindesk.com/federal-officials-recover-bitcoin-ransom-from-colonial-pipeline-attack-cnn

Not only are companies investing their treasuries into Bitcoin and Crypto, but so too are Countries investing their sovereign wealth in Bitcoin. As more and more countries compete with each other to own Bitcoin, it could create a race to hold the future of money--even if countries find it prudent to hold Bitcoin only as a hedge (a what if scenario if you will) against Bitcoin becoming the global currency standard, such a race would send Bitcoin skyrocketing.

Thank you Freeman for the link to the following article. It contains interesting information regarding how cryptocurrencies are taxed. Bitcoin crash opens door to a tax loophole for investors https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/25/bitcoin-crash-opens-door-to-a-tax-loophole-for-investors.html

Does it even make sense that the FBI was able to retrieve the private keys through an exchange wallet by way of cooperation from an exchange? Exchange wallets are known to pose security risks since they hold the private keys. After over a decade, Bitcoin is still un-hacked when used peer-to-peer as it was designed to be used. But the question may still remain as to how did the FBI get the private keys: Did FBI Hack Private Keys to Bitcoin Wallet of Colonial Pipeline Hackers?https://coingape.com/did-fbi-hack-private-keys-to-bitcoin-wallet-of-colonial-pipeline-hackers/

Thank you Qortal team! Great article on Qortal--a grass roots project looking to bring Crypto back to its revolutionary roots: it's a democratic and decentralized blockchain, where everyone will have an equal share in the future direction of the project. The Qortal network is supported by "minters" who will share in the block reward and who can also level up based on contribution. The project is on the ground floor with a great development team and an excited community of believers. https://www.cryptoliberate.com/880-2/
