Lessons in Entrepreneurship - My First Year in Business

Goldman Sachs held a conference call for clients today on the "Implications of Current Policies for Inflation, Gold and Bitcoin" and turns out... Goldman Sachs ISN'T a fan of Bitcoin. Nope, not one bit. Turns out, its funny internet money comparable to tulips only used for crime... Let's talk about what it means for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency today.  Bobby also dives into a new shill (ducks) Thorchain ($RUNE) and why he thinks it could be a really interesting project if it works technically.  Thread with pictures of Goldman Sachs slides: https://twitter.com/mdudas/status/1263841595985727489?s=20 Thorchain for Dummies: https://youtu.be/qhZKKIetQ0Y Coinbase Acquires Tagomi: https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/66479/coinbase-tagomi-acquisition #Bitcoin #crypto #cryptocurrency Follow Colton Kirkpatrick on Twitter: https://twitter.com/stack__sats Follow Proof of Talent on Twitter: https://twitter.com/proofoftalent Looking for a job in blockchain?

Bitcoin pumped to over $9,000 in the last 24 hours, as bulls rejoiced a strong bounce back from BTC's disastrous March fall to $3,800. Will the momentum continue into the Bitcoin halving? Also, let's talk about UMA and their ICO, or perhaps more accurately, their Initial DEX Offering and how they used a UniSwap pool to launch their token. Could UMA's UniSwap launch be the start of a new industry trend, or just another blip on the radar.
