Frank the Tank is tired.

So, this week’s edition of the newsletter will be brief.

Let’s dive in.

Bitcoin in Indonesia

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dea Rezkitha, a very lovely human being from Indonesia, for my podcast.

Dea wears many hats.

She’s a Bitcoin educator via Kelas Bitcoin.

She was the lead organizer for the Indonesia Bitcoin Conference.

And she is the Southeast Asia Community Master for Fedi.

She’s also incredibly kindhearted and knows the importance of meeting people where they’re at when speaking to them about Bitcoin.

Enjoy the interview!

Bitcoin Price Predictions

I recently wrote a report for Finder on Bitcoin price predictions collected from 40 members of the Bitcoin/crypto industry.

As I’ve said in previous editions of the newsletter, I do the best I can to incorporate solid information on what moves markets in these reports.

So, when you read this report, focus less on the exact numbers in the predictions and more on which factors move bitcoin’s price. Doing so may help you to become a better analyst.
