Sometimes, weeks can go by in the crypto world without as much as a ripple. This week wasn’t one of them. Today, in my first ever report, I’ll be taking a look back at the last couple of weeks in crypto. And let me just start by saying, “I told you so.” Since November 1st, the crypto market has broken that all-important US$14,000 level for Bitcoin. Bitcoin has truly boomed, peaking at $18,000.
