The market is still slowly recovering confidence after the UST implode drama, but crypto “ponziers” don’t give us a break. If this is your first tough times in crypto, I should warn you that you’ll need to doge from “kwonzis” and scams like Neo.
So stay safe.

Central Banks Enjoying a trip to the Bitcoin Beach
Let’s put a hold on LUNA collapse insights and enter El Salvador's orange-pilling adventure. El Zonte, also known as "Bitcoin Beach," is the birthplace of Bitcoin in El Salvador and a popular tourist attraction for Bitcoin fans. It was the catalyst for a movement culminating in El Salvador declaring Bitcoin legal tender in 2021.
Forty-four central bankers from countries including Paraguay, Ghana, and Egypt and finance delegates from emerging economies worldwide exclaim "Bitcoin!" while posing for a selfie at El Zonte, El Salvador, in a video that defies belief (see tweet above).
Key Takeaway: Events like the Bitcoin Beach and the participants' enthusiasm might improve the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the upcoming years.

An Introduction To Cryptocurrency Wallets
A cryptocurrency wallet is a type of tool used to store and transact with top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). They are also used to collect non-fungible tokens (NFTs), like art, digital collectibles, and virtual land.
Accordingly, a crypto wallet is a home for your crypto and NFTs. These applications or devices can be set up such that only you or ones close to you can access your digital assets. This article will deep dive into how a cryptocurrency wallet works and explain various wallet types.

Every bear market is an opportunity
I know this might sound weird but yes, a crypto bear market is a huge opportunity. I’m not even talking about buying the dip or averaging down. I’m talking about the best opportunity to join the community and learn.
It’s during the quiet nights of bear markets that builders have the best environment to build. If the DAO/project has a good treasury management to keep growing the ecosystem, you’ll find endless opportunities to engage in projects that will build the foundation of the next cycle. You don’t think that crypto devs will miss a single-digit gas price opportunity to deploy contracts, right? Also, the Merge is coming.
