继续下行，行情没啥好说的
BTC继续下行至绿色区域是大概率事件。
Some perspectives from Twitter:

Institutional money on BTC, imo (in my opinion):
1. Buy as much as possible OTC - small impact on price
2. Buy framework biz to facilitate market architecture - e.g. Circle/Polo
3. Offer new investment products - Index/ETF
4. Market to retail investors who buy on exchanges
5. Price goes

Alt Seasons + what drove them (broadly speaking):
May 2017 - ICOs/ETH needs => more people/more $$
Dec 2017 - Thanksgiving signups, ICOs => more people/more $$
How does the next alt season happen? What gets ppl to spend more than ever?
Hint: it's not "institutional money"
Phases of blockchain adoption + how outsiders react:
2008 - It's interesting - "ur a nerd"
2010 - It's a revolution - "ur a cyberpunk"
2013-17 - It's profitable - "ur an idiot"
2018 - It's different - "no it's not"
2019 - It's better - "Ok maybe"
....
....
....
2021 - "Wow."
The market moves money from the many to the few.
If the masses think it's going down, it will go up
If the masses think it's going up, it will go down
If margin traders want the swings, they'll get chopped out
All at the most painful moments. The best strategy is patience.
本周两个重要新闻记录如下：一个利好(长期)，一个利空(短期)
自己的判断是：阶段性定投建仓(或补仓)的时机到了。

Regulation-Friendly Token Sale Platform CoinList Raises $9.2 Mln In Initial Funding Round
CoinList, a platform for token-based financial services with an emphasis on compliance with regulation, has raised $9.2 mln during its initial fundraising round, according to a press release published today, April 5.
“Now more than ever, companies raising money through an ICO need a platform partner that knows the intricacies of execution and regulation. CoinList provides even more integrity to the startups that have already distinguished themselves, and comfort to the accredited investors that want to commit to [B]lockchain technology."
Launching an ICO in the US requires a company to either register for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accredited investor exemption, or register their ICO as a security offering.
ICOs across the country have been shut down due to what the SEC cites as a selling of “unregistered securities,” most recently in Massachusetts, in part due to the SEC’s recently launched cryptocurrency probe.
The Praetorian Group filed in early March with the SEC to register their ICO as a security offering; if their application is accepted, they will become the first company to hold an SEC-regulated ICO.

RBI bars banks from doing business with crypto firms
India's central bank said Thursday that the banks and financial institutions it oversees will no longer be allowed to work with cryptocurrency exchanges and other related services.
At least one cryptocurrency exchange in India has downplayed the significance of the move. According to a statement published on Twitter, PocketBits argued that exchanges in the country have largely been cut off from banking access already.
"We cannot comment on the times ahead but there is no need to panic, RBI has just reiterated what they have already implemented, THERE IS NO BAN ON BITCOIN in India as of yet, there is no official stand of the government on this," the exchange said. "This is just the Central Bank of India taking a stand against a technology which they are going to implement themselves in terms of a Digital Rupee."
