Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order.

For you crypto fans, I have a new feature to talk about in SlopeCharts.
In the crypto world, many of the trades are doing from one crypto to another, so the chart you’d want to look at is the cross-rate chart.

Cue the usual muppets smugly telling us they ‘were right all along’. Just like in 2019 when BTC dropped from $14k to $6k.
