Crypto did not take the weekend off, that's for sure. Not only did we see Bitcoin continue price discovery into the $80K range for the first time, but a new Bitcoin market cap all-time high was reached as well. So, to set you up for the week, I'll first take you through what happened and what you need to watch for this week with Bitcoin. Then, we'll move into Edward Snowden's comments on decentralization and criticism of Solana, and finally, Cardano's $ADA pumps over 70% on the week and it seems to have been helped by comments from its founder, Charles Hoskinson.
