As a result, long-forgotten projects are being unearthed by on-chain sleuths, and yesterday they might have struck gold on their biggest find yet.

Over the past seven days the dollar value of Karma increased 6,530%, as the token climbed from a sub-cent price of $0.000464, up to....
Hang around Imgur and reddit long enough and you will find photos of Dutch tulip fields popping up with clock-like regularity. The country has long been famed for its flower industry, and the expansive fields of colourful flowers do create a mesmerizing spectacle. When discussed in the same breath as bitcoin, however, Dutch tulips are an insult.

My working chart, showing Bitcoin price candles, grey volume bars, fractal highs(^) and lows(v), trendlines, support / resistance levels, Fibonacci retracement levels, MACD indicator and Moon Phases. I've discussed the use of all the indicators and line studies on my chart in previous articles, particularly this one. The only new addition this time is Moon Phases - note the two white full moons and two blue new moons in close proximity to price. Moon Phases show the extremes of the moon's waxing / waning cycle. I've included them as these lunar periods marked the last three significant....
