And people that bought bitcoin at the beginning of 2020 are up about 432%. So why is bitcoin surging so strongly right now? I believe it’s a combination of supply and demand and big investors. The institutional investors that moved into bitcoin…

Confession time. The #DogsofTwitter is one of my favorite Twitter communities. In this truly joyful corner of Twitter, dogs of all ages are trying extremely hard right now to be good boys and girls until Santa Paws arrives to give them treats and presents. Yes it’s totally corny.
