2. Alts

Not that much events behind these talks.

Almost only sad feelings expressed:

• Alt seasons postponed indefnitely. I feel bad for Alt Hodler.
• Careful out there with alts. Also had to close my short. Lucky for me at breakeven. I think ill sit out for a bit
• Alts gonna bleed
• It seems alts time will never come
• lts tend to become unkillable living dead.
• A big thank you to the U.S and the lack of any meaningful action in the form of regulation. They've helped many U.S customers dump alts and move back into BTC.
• alts are tyrannussaurus rekt and I fear it will get worse before it gets better way after Bitcoin rose above 60% dominance.

3. XRP

On Monday Ripple announced a major partnership with MoneyGram, which will see the money transfer service use the digital currency XRP as part of its day-to-day operations.

Price followed +5% after the announcement.

Talks:

• BTC - XRP playing ping-pong lmao
• XRP holders are literally paying Ripple, banks and institutions to dump on them
• Does no one believe in ETH or XRP anymore? I did so good with those before.
• XRP is always bearish
• lmzo xrp just got rekt, news wasn't that great

Overall XRP excitement is getting weaker:
