But lo, the altcoins! The poor, wretched altcoins! If Bitcoin’s stumble was cause for mild concern, their collapse is nothing short of apocalyptic. Behold the carnage: XRP and DOGE, those darlings of the larger caps, have been utterly eviscerated, losing double-digit percentages with the grace of a drunken poet at a ball. 😵💫
At the beginning of July, XRP was languishing at a mere $2.17. However, between July 2 and July 18, it rocketed by over 60%, reaching a peak of $3.66 — its highest point this year. This meteoric rise attracted a flurry of buying interest, but it also set the stage for short-term traders to cash in their chips and head to the nearest beach. 🏖️
United States District Judge Jessica Clarke, a woman not given to flights of fancy, delivered her verdict with the solemnity of a priest at confession.

After all, who doesn’t love a good drama, especially when it involves dollar signs? Let the games begin!
As the week commenced, Ethereum ascended to what one might call a yearly pinnacle, basking in the glory of a 178% resurrection from the depths of April’s despair. This noble cryptocurrency, emboldened by its recent triumphs, followed a path illuminated by a price breakout and a period of what could only be described as languid consolidation between the weary months of May and June.
In a spirited exchange on the illustrious CNBC’s Squawk Box, a platform echoing with the weight of contemporary financial musings, Andrew Keys, the esteemed Chief Executive Officer of Ether Machine, stepped onto the stage. With the confidence of a literary protagonist, he proclaimed Ethereum to be the formidable leader over Bitcoin, painting it as a beacon of innovation and purpose. As he expounded upon Ethereum’s admirable utility and robust potential for generating yield, it became clear that this was not merely a debate but a declaration of victory. 🏆
According to our hyper-optimistic oracle Hayes, Ethereum is gearing up to lead the crypto charge, with a meteoric price prediction of $10,000 by the end of 2025. Meanwhile, he envisions Bitcoin hopping onto the rocket ship to skyrocket to a mere $250,000—pocket change, really, if you’re intergalactic and have a penchant for currency that rhymes with “mushroom.”
