Something to add
Besides the onset of bull run, in November, there were interesting crypto news – like Russia’s Sberbank planning to launch its own crypto token, Facebook probably launching Libra in Jan 2021 as a USD pegged Stablecoin, an Australian investment firm actively participating in crypto, and more.
News like these have the potential to open the gates wider for mass crypto adoption. As more and more people take notice of crypto, it’s upon us to help them understand how crypto works. Always be open to teaching them about crypto!
