Picks of the Week

The Sunday Crypto Recap - Down the Rabbit Hole 85 ![](https://i.imgur.com/u3EvVWp.jpg) https://pixabay.com/photos/books-bookstore-book-reading-1204029/ Apparently, how $600 billion dollars of public funds is spent is now 'private' even to government oversight bodies. Such government obfuscation can only be possible where mind-bending sums of dollars can simply be conjured into existence. Bankruptcy stock buying is now a (short-term profitable) thing. Magic internet money appears sensible by comparison. The buy Bitcoin narrative isn't in any danger of losing steam. Could we see a sharp drop if the current (absurd) stock market rally stalls/reverses? - Of course. Does that matter in the long term? - Not one bit. India's move to ban all crypto is sadly likely just the first of many such bans - plan accordingly. They will ultimately fail but that doesn't mean there won't be many crypto casualties along the way. As per usual - the cryptosphere offered up a treasure trove of fascinating developments, discussions, and division. --- # Picks of the Week These articles - The intolerant minority a Bitcoin [narrative reframed](https://uncommoncore.co/bitcoin-and-the-intolerant-minority/) and [Millionaires](https://medium.com/the-capital/the-myth-of-millionaires-and-bitcoin-3870f1fc79bf) are probably not your best BTC bet.
