This week has been a big rollercoaster overall. Bitcoin peaked at $58,000 and crashed about 18% from its ATH.
Let's see this week's notable events!
"This has been a life-changing experience." — @PRguitarman, creator of @NyanCat

Nyan Cat has found a new owner for 300 $ETH (~$590,000 USD). 🐈🌈
Welcome to the new creative economy. 🌐 https://t.co/gf8JHi1OEW
Nyan Cat is the name of an animation uploaded on April 2 2011, and became a viral internet sensation. This is a first time that a notable internet meme is bought with real money.
That was our max “pragmatic” approach to buy Nyan Cat - 224 ETHhttps://t.co/T20VbyuvcK

Ethereum Gas has been Peaking at 1000gwei right now. This means most traders are priced out of ethereum. Guess where they went..? Binance Chain!
You've probably seen a lot of chatter about Ethereum vs. BSC the past few weeks. I wanted to take a moment to explain the differences and tradeoffs between the chains. The funniest part? They are *almost* identical but a few tweaks make a huge difference.

A thread...
This is a great thread to read in order to have a through understanding of what is going on in the DeFi market. Binance chain is filling a missing gap that ethereum cannot provide. (Until we have a usable L2, of course)
Becareful with VAI right now. @VenusProtocol is not able to liquidate VAI and some people are borrowing more than they should be. pic.twitter.com/YsXn2UdlDT

Tether had an ongoing fraud probe opened by the Attorney General’s Office three years ago. The settlement has been reached under the terms of admitting no wrongdoing.
Depositing into a Curve pool was instant and cost around $0.000042, just the way it should be. Multi-chain Curve is on its way. https://t.co/fdkNoxZq6a

Curve is continuously looking for multichain solutions.
#BNB started as a token on #ETH, but maybe #ETH will end up as a token on #BSC.

Restricting comments due to the provocative joke. 😂 https://t.co/jmIr3Xbi6p
That is such a bold statement from CZ. I don't think it is a joke though...
