Happy Saturday Folks and welcome to April! This is my birthday month so my hope is that Bitcoin is going to provide me with the best Birthday present ever. Historically this has been the price of Bitcoin at the end of April:
2013: $127.98 | 2014: $620.5 | 2015: $229.68 | 2016: $531.41 | 2017: $2,329.08 | 2018: $$7,380.50
2019: $8,310.89 | 2020: $9,662.71 | 2021: $35,714.75 | 2022: $31,740.94 | 2023: ?? (I believe it will be higher)
Only one year has the price been lower than the previous and that was last year. Last week we saw Bitcoin lose a few hundred and this week it made that back in triples.
The best performing asset in the past 7 days remains $XRP - up 15.51%; ranked #6 on Coinmarketcap.com. Fear and Greed Index was at 64 last week and its good that's it's come back to 61 this week.

Bottom line: As I type Bitcoin is trading at $28,436.00 and for the week (M-F) Bitcoin gained $971.90. As you can see from week to week, it bounces around but the trend is still up. So, keep buying the dip, be smart, stay safe, stack sats, and HODL as "Matty Sats" would say!
