Daily Crypto NewsEDITION #1081, 29 October

Bitcoin!

Today, in 1945, ballpoint pens went on sale in New York for the first time.

Could really use one of those pens and a 32-page notebook right now to scribble “ETH, HIT ATH!” — maybe it’ll help?

Now, let’s get to the important stuff quickly because we value your time. Time is Moni.

What’s up? 

Market update: $BTC broke $70k. Bitcoin is now at $71k, just $2000 away from ATH. Well, a little more; Bitcoin’s ATH was $73,737.

By the way, guess who’s also just over $2000 away from their ATH? Right answer – Ethereum.

$2,616 now vs. $4,878 ATH.

Crypto Twitter is still throwing shade at Buterin and his creation for unfulfilled hopes.

But there are also those defending Vitalik. Personally, we are holding $ETH, standing on the outsiders' side of the moment:

Everyone’s calling $TON and $ETH a lost cause, but they’re the biggest bags of this digest’ author.  

As for $ETH, we haven’t lost faith in the asset. It’s the core of all DeFi, and even BlackRock is building its fund on it.

And hey, sometimes playing against the crowd works well. Not financial advice.

Hot topic: PAWS launched as a DOGS clone. Likely $20-50 per account.

Points are awarded to those who received NOT, DOGS, Hamster airdrops, and for referrals, of course.

Other news:

- The Korean community is buzzing about a project called Gradient, almost like a twin of Grass.

Here’s the link.

It’s already pretty hyped. Use at your own risk.

- USDT is paving the way to a bull market. Market cap now at $120 billion.

That’s a good sign. We’re growing, sir, though not quite at the numbers we’d like…

And by the way, USDT is now available on Aptos. Anyone using Aptos? What about the 2nd airdrop? Soon? =)))))))))))))))))))))))))
