After repeated attempts to punch through $12K resistance, BTC has pulled a Bart Simpson and retraced back to $10K, reaffirming the once resistance-turned-support and is gearing up for yet another knock at $12K. Zooming further out, I cannot help but be reminded of the good old ICO days: if you had a dream and it mentioned “crypto” or “blockchain” in any shape or form, you could and did- receive eight-digit commitments from all corners of the world, no fiduciary duty, no strings attached. 90% is a figure that is often thrown around when asked what percentage of ICOs were scams. So will the ICOs go down in history as a taint of scammers? Perhaps, but what it also did was show the world that you too could raise benjamins for your shiny new idea and it didn’t come with the punishing covenants of a VC. And some indeed went on to build their dreams into unicorns of a company while the bad actors did their thing.

Fast forward to today where we’ve seen $BTC dominance slide 13.3ppts gradually over the course of the year,

as the DeFi platforms command more market share. Why? Nine billion reasons…
