Morning, Coinheads.

Bitcoin is down 6.6%, nearing US$40k, its biggest drop in four weeks. Therefore Ethereum is down, Litecoin, Doge. It’s Red Friday. Might be time to buy. Or hold. Or do nothing. We’re not your financial advisors.  And this is not financial advice.

XYO is setting up base in Singapore, the people want crypto payments, and Internet Computer is breaking blockchain records, but its speeds are not being matched by its price.

AMP is demonstrating volatile traits, TRON shifts to DAO, and Fantom gives Ethereum a run for its money.

TGIF, yo, let’s do this.
