Analyst Claims Bitcoin Drop Towards $7,000 Highly Probable

by

Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto market incurred a sudden influx of buying pressure late-yesterday that allowed most major cryptocurrencies to post some decent gains, although these were largely erased overnight as BTC dropped back down towards $10,400.

by

“It’s dangerous to go alone. Here, take this.” Thus begins the latest computer game from crypto-focused gaming company Blockade Games. “Just kidding! You must start your journey with nothing!” recants a wizard-turned-demon as you attempt to collect your would-be first weapon in the game, a fork, in an abandoned cave. This is how you embark on your journey in the “The Ledger of Szabo”: with nothing and no particular direction. The game’s initial interaction — as its name and gameplay would suggest — is an overt homage to “The Legend of Zelda,” the flagship game of the eponymous franchise which was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986.
