This means investors keen on obtaining a sharper edge aim to get on as many whitelists as possible to increase their potential return-on-investment when the NFT is eventually sold on the secondary market. CryptoBatz are being minted today on their website for their whitelist holders today for 0.088 ETH ($283.55 USD). Their current floor price on Opensea, 1.99 ETH…

Bitcoin Holding Support Above $37K; Resistance at $40K-$45K
Bitcoin (BTC) is rising toward the top of a week-long trading range as oversold signals remain intact. The cryptocurrency was trading around $38,400 at press time and is up 4% over the past week. Initial resistance is seen at $40,000, which is an old support level that was rejected on Jan. 20. Buyers will need to make a decisive move above $40,000-$45,000 in order to shift the downtrend since November. For now, BTC’s 20% price decline in January could attract short-term buyers. Traders could place additional bids into the Asia…

It’s a shame for my friend that, other than a pat on the back, he can’t really capture value from early artist discovery. Until now. Aziz Alangari is a marketing associate at Wachsman. Let’s say that in 2007, Lana had her…
