Crypto Fear & Greed Index
The Fear & Greed Index for bitcoin and other large cryptocurrencies is down 1 point this week signify no real change in the crypto sentiment metric. Throughout the month of April, the Index has remained in a stable 70 – 76 “greed” range even though several top traded digital currencies have hit new highs. I am expecting the index to increase over the next 48 hours especially given the excitement about Wednesday’s Coinbase direct listing.
Are You Being Paid in Bitcoin?
In light of Jim Cramer’s threat to ‘demand’ his salary in bitcoin (see below), I am looking for a payment service that allows employers to pay a percentage of an employee’s salary in cryptocurrencies. If anyone knows of a company offering this service, please tell me.
