DEEP DIVE

The Ethereum-blockchain size has exceeded 1TB, and yes, it’s an issue

⚖ The Argument: Ethereum’s runaway data directory size is just the tip… Larger blocks ultimately centralize validators

CHART OF THE WEEK

Stepping back a bit, here’s a longer term perspective for Bitcoin (BTC). It’s clear that all of the moving averages are compressing. At the current rate, the 50 day, 100 day & 200 day will finally meet up with the 360 day moving average near the end of June.

It’s possible that this may happen sooner, but it looks like it will be somewhere between June 15th – 30th. Once that happens, the price is likely to either bounce strongly and begin a new ascent….OR begin a new decline.
