Bitcoin hit its yearly high topping out at $13,485.85 yesterday. Speaking to CNBC, Genesis Global Trading CEO, Michael Moro, said, "Even the most optimistic crypto bulls would tell you that a 50%+ move in a week is too much too fast. The presence of leverage exacerbates the moves in both directions and affects the speed dramatically. Of course, bitcoin has a history of doing this (both upward and downward), but it's hard to call the magnitude of the move healthy." After hitting its high, a steep decline of almost $2,000 within 15 minutes happened around the same time that Coinbase was knocked offline as high user volume overwhelmed the servers. - CNBC       2. The daily volume on BitMEX hit a record high surpassing $11 billion. The Bitmex Twitter account tweeted, "Today sets a new record for crypto: >$1B open interest on XBTUSD, >$13B traded on XBTUSD, >$16B on all BitMEX products." BitMEX and the Real 10 volume of Bitcoin, which refers to the verifiable daily volume of bitcoin coming from exchanges regarded by Bitwise Asset Management for having a legitimate daily volume, accounted for nearly $17 billion in daily volume. - FORBES       A MESSAGE FROM FASTLY Extend the power of your core cloud to the edge with our API-first platform.

The last time Bitcoin breached $13k was January 14th, 2018. At the time, three weeks later on February 6th, 2018 Bitcoin nearly dropped 50 percent -- dipping to $7,013.10. Since hitting the high last night, the market appears to be correcting itself with Bitcoin dropping below $10,000 per coin at one point. Will we see the same pullback that we saw back in January 2018? Is this just a set back on a longer sustained run? Hit reply this email and let me know your thoughts.       4. The Monetary Authority of Singapore wants more information about Facebook Libra. MAS wants the information so it can decide how to categorize Libra as far regulation. MAS managing director Ravi Menon said, "At this point, it's not clear whether it offers a distinctly superior proposition to existing electronic payment mechanisms. We need to understand how exactly it's going to work" including the economics of the project as well as security and privacy issues, he added."  Menon also stated that Libra offered benefits in regards to the remittance market. -COIN DESK       A MESSAGE FROM MANAGED BY Q Your Checklist for Thoughtful Employee Onboarding Onboarding is critical to the success of your new employees.
