Take one look at Bitcoin’s chart and you would assume that Ethereum, XRP, and all the rest have had a great 2019 too, but you would be sorely mistaken in saying that. Per previous reports from NewsBTC, since earlier this month, the price of ETH is actually down in 2019, which comes in stark contrast... The post appeared first on NewsBTC.

Any significant crash in bitcoin price tends to focus the minds of investors on money lost. However, for the overwhelming majority of investors, that isn’t actually going to be very much.

After failing to set a new all-time high, crypto investors are unsure if Bitcoin’s bear market has ended and the bottom is actually in. If the bottom isn’t in, the entire 2019 parabolic rally could have been the B wave in a corrective ABC pattern, and the final C wave could take Bitcoin price to.

The Surface Earbuds will be divisive. As much as I think headphones should be about audio and convenience first, some people won’t appreciate having dinner plates sticking out of their ears. I felt some deja vu as I remembered the Pixel Buds’ launch back in 2017; the Surface Earbuds take that aesthetic to another level.
