Bitcoin bounced over $50,000 this week, eventually rising to $51k yesterday. Meanwhile, some very important prognosticators (VIPs) are saying that bitcoin is no longer the market leader. But that isn’t stopping El Salvador from being the first country to adopt bitcoin. Wall Street Journal sent its correspondent Santiago Perez to find out what El Salvadorans think about that. And if you’ve ever wondered why bitcoin uses more electricity than some countries, The New York Times is here to break it down for you. This isn’t Kansas any more, Toto.
Splinterlands Shoots the Moon
Splinterlands, the digital asset trading card game, has hit some new milestones. From July to August, the number of player accounts doubled. From August to September, the number increased by 250 percent. But that’s not the end of the good news. Players purchased an average of 5,000 new spellbooks per day in August. The daily market volume of card sales on the secondary market rose from $50,000 daily in July, an increase from $15,000 daily the month before, to $200,000 daily in August.
The Splinterlands market cap, the value of all cards held by all players at this time, has also seen a sharp rise. It is now up over $200,000,000. My guess is, players holding Alpha cards are jumping through the roof right now.
