- The Rumor Mill
Apple might be creating their own hardware wallet and Facebook might be releasing their Global Coin before the expected June 2020 date. If Apple creates its own wallet, the world could be in for a large inflow of adoption. Regardless if you like Apple or not, whenever they do something, people follow the trend. Crypto could use their help. The sooner Facebook releases their “cryptocurrency” the better. It will get users used to using purely digital currency.

“This was the NEWS” summary!
The past week the market has been pushing sideways and even though there is calls for Bitcoin to drop to $6,000 or lower, it hasn’t (yet haha, I hope it doesn’t). Bitcoin seems to be having trouble getting over and staying above the $8,000 mark.
Samsung is the top news of the week. Anytime a large company like them gets into the space we should all pay attention. When it comes to institutions, we need to ignore what they say and pay attention to what they are actually doing. Samsung seems to be making the jump into the world of cryptocurrencies, let’s hope other companies see this and follow.
