While Bitcoin has performed well in recent weeks, some altcoins have done even better. Take the example of Chainlink (LINK), which has almost doubled in the past month. With many altcoins outpacing BTC, the Bitcoin dominance metric has plunged. Bitcoin dominance is the percentage of the crypto market made up of BTC. Despite the drop, an indicator predicts a bearish reversal for altcoins. Bitcoin continuing to undergo volatility could further suppress the bullish altcoin narrative.

Chainlink (LINK) has been embroiled in a parabolic rally in recent weeks. The asset has gained hundreds of percent since the March capitulation lows.

Finally, the new-age tech investing has become delicious with the latest buzzword project, called Yam Finance. This particular protocol, which first entered the idea phase on August 1 and whose developers released the first implementation of their product on Tuesday, managed to rack up hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of investments, before crashing out in a blaze of social media-hosted meme-economy glory last night.

The idea of the tooth fairy never made much sense to me. I don’t like the idea of presenting fiction as fact, especially to my children. My wife, on the other hand, is quite into it. For one thing, the economics are all messed up. Supposing there’s some kind of business or even a nonprofit, how does the Tooth Organization sustain the kind of overhead involved when every transaction results in a loss? The other thing is the timing, which almost never adds up. While you might be able to
