This newsletter is primarily aimed at people outside of Hive/LeoFinance as well so the primary platform(s) to watch for these daily newsletters are Substack, Podcasting Platforms like Spotify/Apple and YouTube.

The Highest Monthly Close in Bitcoin's History

We're about to see the highest monthly close in Bitcoin's history. The previous monthly high was ~$13,700 and today will mark a close above $19k for the first time ever.

This is a bullish macro view on BTC and you can bet that retail and institutions are paying attention to this candle. It's a big moment for Bitcoin as we approach a new bull market with fresh all-time highs waiting to be reached.


Bitcoin may see major price volatility at the start of December

This next article comes from Cointelegraph. What I enjoyed most about it is the various levels of analysis in terms of institutional adoption, futures and GBTC.

We're seeing an unprecedented level of activity in the BTC futures market and in the activity of institutions getting exposure to BTC in various forms. Some are buying BTC outright while others are integrating BTC into their business model and others are investing into GBTC.

All of this culminates to an even more bullish market than most people anticipated. We may see massive amounts of volatility in the coming months and I think most of us agree that it will be macro bullish for the space.


Major Activity on GBTC + Guggenheim to Invest Up to $500m USD in GBTC

Coindesk reports on the Guggenheim news that broke yesterday. Guggenheim manages over $233 billion USD in their various fund allocations. A particular fund called "Macro Opportunities" has $5b in assets and Guggenheim just filed to invest up to 10% of this fund into GBTC.

At the current fund value, this is $500M USD which represents a sizable investment into the space. This is just another domino in the long line of institutions/major investors who have jumped into Bitcoin/Bitcoin-derived products in the past few months.


ETH 2.0 Serenity Mainnet is About to Launch!

ETH2 is probably the most anticipated event in all of crypto. It's also the subject of many a meme.

This article by @behiver talks about the ETH2 launch and gives some quick overview details about the stats for ETH2 so far.

This launch marks a historic event as we get closer than ever to lower fees and greater scalability from the largest network of dApps and projects in the entire crypto space. These issues are undoubtedly one of the largest barriers to adoption for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and the entire crypto industry. Ethereum's major release is going to be center stage in this bull run as we see the masses flood into the space once again.

This is the year of new records and historical achievements in cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin ATH and Ethereum 2.0 launch. I am trying to anticipate what 2021 will look like and with all the foundaments achieved this year, I believe that we might be the witnesses of greatness in blockchain technology.

I agree. 2021 is shaping up to be one of the best years for crypto. 2020 gave us all an opportunity to get in and get in heavy.

I've been accumulating since 2016. After the crash in 2017, most of us thought the recovery would be a lot faster. 3 years later and now we're seeing ATHs again. It's like a dream ;)

It was big news that 500 million investment, we have more than one that is public and more than one that is in the 100 million dollar mark of investment.

I'm really pumped for the ethereum upgrade. There are so many dapps I want to get into and I keep holding back because of gas fees. Especially with games, when their in-game marketplaces work there seems to be some good opportunities out there for play-to-earn. Soon I will not have that excuse to get started :p.

It's a massive investment from a massive fund. In the traditional markets, that's a decent sum of money but in crypto land, it's a major headliner.

ETH2 is going to change the game. I love Ethereum and always enjoy using DeFI/dApps that are built there. The TX fees are a big factor in dampening the potential adoption of blockchain in general.

Lost Relics is top of my list, just waiting to know if the market is working and people are buying and selling.

So you're deciding to move the Leo post to your Khal account? Fair enough. Seven short minutes on this video and it was precise, potent and really educative. I guess BTC was the focal point lol, I enjoyed watching even if the target audience was for people outside hive, makes sense.

haha yeah. I even considered not posting it on Hive at all, but it felt wrong to not post it here on LeoFinance.io/Hive as (at the minimum) an archive.

The point of this newsletter is to get people from outside of Hive/LeoFinance signed up so that they can stay in touch with LeoFinance from a different vantage point. We have thousands of monthly visitors to leofinance.io that aren't Hive/Leo users at all. Just random traffic that passes through.

The goal is to capture this traffic with the newsletter and give them value each day via the daily crypto news (which is why the newsletter will hardly ever mention Hive/LeoFinance).

Over time, we'll give them a reason to keep coming back to the site and eventually hit that "Get Started" button :)

Oh its going to get volatile. I’m going to take some more SATS off the market soon. No more for anyone else to buy...unless it’s for the right price.

haha. It's getting crazy. I swung some BTC on a trade by selling at $19k before and buying the $16k dip on Thanksgiving.

I'm not going to sell any significant amount of SATs until we see $50k+

This is mad! I joined in at the previous ATH from Dec 2017-Jan 2018 bull run and now I have no idea what to think having seen the worst of it vs the best of it now. Highest closing price ever... not used to this haha!

500 Million going in to BTC from another institutional investment... pretty epic really.

I read an article in more mainstream media outlets constantly talking about bloodbaths with the price particularly over the last week and some institutions are saying it's gambling and blah blah blah. Not going to throw me off, that's for sure!

Going to keep my eyes on the Defi/ETH 2 developments, spending £5 on a small transaction is a bit of a choker but if they can solve that with the new version then that will be ace!

Thanks for the daily news, great for a quick update in the short video format!

It has really been testing that 20k mark all day. I can't wait to see it blow past that. It will be a mad race once that happens I think. I was wondering if we would see a big pump today as the big companies came back from the holiday break and started buying again.

Looks like ETH is doing way much more, from the practical stand point, than BTC actually is. Still... it's BTC that those financial institutions are rushing into. Probably something about that 21 million max supply and the fact that it was the first crypto. Same as with gold, you can't practically do much with it as you can do with other metals, but it's still the most precious.

Since you focused on bitcoin and Ethereum, who do you think will outpace who in 2021?

Bitcoin is a bigger scam than mining pigs brains.

When will people realize that.

It is going to zero, it is beyond worthless.

Nobody wants this crap; it doesnt even exist.

When the internet and electrical grids are both shut off, what are you going to do with your bitcoin then smart people?

The only sensible investment: EMU eggs. They are a hedge against everything plus you can eat them.

Wake up you jokers.

Great news! In 2021 we could see other institutional companies buying Bitcoin and then who will be able to control it anymore?
