📊 Market Overview

In a week that saw the largest American Bitcoin miner file for Chapter 11 protection (Core Scientific), the former ‘white-knight/philanthropist’ of crypto was extradited to the US to be bailed out by Mom and Dad (to the tune of a quarter billion dollars), and the worlds largest Bitcoin holder (Grayscale Bitcoin Trust) contemplate returning their funds to investors… Aren’t you glad you chose to DYOR (Do Your Own Research) and hold the underlying?

The second to last week of 2022 could not have been more, well, 2022. And despite this, fellow NDAXers, we have much for which to be grateful: After all, no one said ‘being the change we wish to see in the world’ or–for that matter–deciding to invest in a revolutionary new technology that promises property rights to all citizens of the world with access to an internet connection, would be easy. It most assuredly is not and has not been for quite some time.

But we’re here, and *all together now* “Tick tock, next block”. We hope you spent/are enjoying a wonderful Christmas/Hanukah/Eid (for those who celebrate these) with family and loved ones, warm and safe, and, we pray, as far removed from the prevailing industry FUD (fear, uncertainty & doubt) as humanly possible!

Stay tuned for our upcoming “NDAX Year in Review: The Top Sixteen Stories of 2022” coming soon to an inbox or social media feed near you.

With gratitude for your business and trust during this most difficult year–and here’s hoping for a more lucrative (and fun) 2023!

Happy new year!

- Ever  yours in the #hodl, Bitcoin babes

Did you know you could set your Dollar Cost Averaging to Autopilot with the NDAX Recurring Purchases?

It’s true! This means you can step up your DCA game with minimal effort. Plus, setting up recurring purchases just got even simpler, as we’ve added it in-app as well. And if you’re at all reluctant (as was this writer) to put your buy orders in the hands of someone else: Rest assured that I’ve been getting surprisingly good order fills. (Even at market prices!)

Upon login, select Recurring Purchases from the drop-down menu when you select the main NDAX Logo button.
