Crypto Roundup - Dec 6
Jito's launch of its JTO token on the Solana blockchain marks a significant boost to the ecosystem, with the token debuting at $1.20 and anticipated listings on Coinbase and Binance. This move is indicative of a larger trend in token airdrops within the thriving Solana space. In parallel, Block, co-founded by Jack Dorsey, has introduced Bitkey, a self-custody Bitcoin wallet combining mobile and hardware storage, accessible in over 95 countries. The wallet's security features and $150 price tag position it as a significant player in the cryptocurrency storage market. Meanwhile, the SEC's engagement with asset managers on technical details signals the impending approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with a flurry of potential acceptances expected between January 8 and 10, 2024.

$ETH has been pretty stable around 20% market dominance. If you think the total market cap hits $10 trillion this cycle, that’s $16K per $ETH
I think 20% market dominance is the bear case btw.
Could easily see it go to 50% dominance or $40K per $ETH

"If I was the government, I'd close it down"
That was Jamie Dimon, the most powerful banker in the world saying the US government should shut down a peer-to-peer money system.
He said the only people who use crypto are criminals.
I guess almost 15% of Americans are criminals.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

9,852 addresses claimed between $9.8k and $208k from the Jito airdrop today
All you had to do to qualify for tier 1 was play around with $40 onchain, and you walked away with $9,882 a few months later
This is a "bring people back into crypto moment"
Long live Jito
