Happy Tuesday Folks! Putting smart contracts on Ripple could create a whole new situation. Many have discounted what Ripple can do and Brad Garlinghouse has always said he's playing the long game, will it work out? Do Kwon says he's not hiding and to prove it, he did an interview with Laura Shin for the Podcast of the Day. Lastly, EU Commissioner says hurry up on Crypto regulations. It's a very slow news and podcast cycle, something big is brewing! 

Meanwhile the price of Bitcoin continues to inch higher with some Altcoins like $MATIC powering higher; up 5%. The sentiment is mostly positive but Tone Vays thinks lower is coming so, could this be a very bullish sign? Plan B says we might be headed toward an EPIC rally - time will tell.

Podcast of the Day: Do Kwon of Terra: 'It Was Never Really About Money or Fame or Success' (Unchained)
