Analog Video
The sad irony of this week is that I have a relatively huge amount of time and almost nothing to write about (To describe the market as “boring” is akin to describing Mitch McConnell as “not classically handsome”; in other words, a massive understatement.

In the nearly thirteen years that I’ve been writing Slope of Hope, perhaps the most ironic post (out of over 20,000) was one I did last January called Bitcoin’s Massive Bullish Base.
