Market:

A co-founder of a research company Fundstrat Global Advisors, To Lee, once again confirmed his optimistic views towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry as a whole. The technical picture of the first cryptocurrency implies that it is ready for an impressive pump, he said in the interview with Yahoo Finance.

Whenever bitcoin breaks back into its 200 day, its average six-month gain is 197%.

Lee believes that halving will have a positive impact on Bitcoin's price momentum, while geopolitical uncertainty and economical consequences of coronavirus will add fuel to the fire.

Lightning Labs is scaling! Announcing our $10M Series A to fuel LN development, and the Lightning Loop beta release, a product making it easier send/receive #bitcoin instantly. With 4000 developers and 30+ startups, the next decade of Lightning is on.

Quote of the day:

Crytpo is bid. Period.  Hearing more and more inquiry.  Always dangerous but higher prices are making me more bullish.   $eth over 200 for a couple of days will open a bigger move.  $btc has 10k looming.   Once that goes we are off to the races.
