Bitcoin’s Dominance Shows That Altseason May Be Over… For Now

boss

Last updated:February 19, 2020 Bitcoin’s insane 2020 uptrend has allowed the benchmark cryptocurrency to rally from lows of $6,800 to highs of $10,500. Although these gains are nothing to scoff at, this bullishness has spilled over into the altcoin markets, allowing some other cryptos to significantly outperform BTC. Some of the altcoins that have outperformed Bitcoin include Ethereum, Tezos, and Chainlink, which have all seen uptrends that are emblematic of those seen in the early days of 2017. In the near-term, however, the market wide altcoin bull run may soon…

Liverpool are patently a brilliant team, but theirs is a collective success. When David Ginola won the PFA Player of the Year award in 1999, Alex Ferguson was not happy. His Manchester United side were on their way to a historic Treble of Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup. Ferguson felt one of Dwight Yorke, David…

Bloomberg-Clinton 2020 Sends One Signal to Bernie Voters: ‘Screw You!’

boss

Matt Drudge reported Saturday that Michael Bloomberg is considering Hillary Clinton for vice president – if he gets the Democratic nomination. While it’s unlikely Bloomberg will make it that far, picking Clinton would hardly give him a unity ticket. A Bloomberg-Clinton ticket would keep Democrats in Wall Street’s good graces. But there’s nothing in it for progressive Democrats. Sources close to Michael Bloomberg’s campaign say he’s considering tapping Hillary Clinton for vice president. That’s according to Matt Drudge of The Drudge Report. Drudge’s source says the Bloomberg campaign found the…

Myles Garrett’s Racism Claim Doesn’t Add Up for One Big, Cynical Reason

boss

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was suspended indefinitely following his attack on Mason Rudolph of the Pittsburg Steelers. Garrett has been cleared by the NFL to return this season. He still claims that racism was at play, and that the league is covering it up. You would think Myles Garrett would just take his punishment and move on. Because the quarterback he decided to smash over the head with a helmet was only the Steelers’ backup, he got off relatively easy. Imagine if he’d tried that with someone like…
