Very-Much Altseasons, Hard-Learned Lessons and 20 Crypto Jokes
This week in crypto, bitcoin finally made a move, CZ said we’re very much in altseason now, mStable learned communication the hard way, LEND was up by 8,000% against bitcoin in 12 months, while research found that BTC hashrate could rise 120% in a year, but the price of the coin needs to follow. It was said that Phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0 might be launched in November, and that the final testnet before the launch should go live on August 4. Also, Justin Sun announced Tron's 'JUST DeFi' decentralized exchange and yield farming for August too. Furthermore, YouTube is immune to Ripple's lawsuit, and crypto entrepreneurs are taking YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to court, while Twitter hack victims now face a threat of personal data breech.
Many more things happened. There were speculations that PayPal might announce a Paxos parnership soon, and Telecom S.A. suffered a ransomware attack as hackers demanded USD 7.5 million in monero. The central Bank of Japan created a "Digital Currency Unit” aptly headed by a Satoshi, South Korea is set to discriminate against crypto traders compared to stock traders with a newly unvelied tax, and China’s Blockchain Service Network will integrate several major blockchain networks. Meanwhile, CryptoKitties teamed up with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to launch a line of digital collectibles, LG showcased its blockchain-powered food and agriculture traceability platform, and K-pop star Kwon Hyun-bin will play the male lead in a South Korean blockchain- and crypto-focused drama.
And here comes your favourite part of the week.

First, let's start the day with an appropriate crypto prayer - a crayer, if you will.
“Do not forsake duty. Deliver fiat where it is due. But in good time grow and gather your bitcoins and join them unto your own Node and you shall rejoice for you have been liberated by your own hand.”
