The Pew Research Center’s latest U.S. cryptocurrency report, published April 10, shows little in the way of surprises when it comes to the nation’s adoption and confidence in the burgeoning crypto market. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is Pew’s finding that 75% of U.S. adults who’ve heard of cryptocurrency have little or no confidence in their safety and reliability. That statistic may not express the actual sentiment of the average cryptocurrency investor, however, as adoption rates vary wildly by age and gender, with men ages 18 to 50 providing the bulk…

After days of consolidation near the local high, Bitcoin is trying to breakout and challenge the $30,000 level. Bitcoin’s (BTC) tight consolidation near its local top suggests that traders are waiting for a catalyst to start the next trending move. The consumer price data on April 12 and the producer price index data on April 13 could give insight into the Federal Reserve’s future rate hikes and shake the traders out of their slumber.

The week’s theme, “Future Heritage,” aimed to connect the next generation of creators with traditional fashion designers.
