We review the latest proclamations of Bitcoin’s apparent demise: (1) Axios’s report that Corporate blockchain and bitcoin interest is waning; (2) Galaxy Digital dumping their ICO advisory business; and (3) volatility drying up forcing traders to look for alpha elsewhere. We also look at Amazon’s expansion into New York City, right into our backyard.

Topics:

  • Bitcoin is ded note - Blockchain is ded - ICO Advisory is ded - Volatility is ded
  • What Axios is
  • Galaxy digital
  • Who Galaxy is and what happened
  • What a high watermark is
  • How a reverse merger works
  • Types of shells that exist
  • What a Friday night news dump is
  • Amazon takes over New York City
