Most ‘fear’ in 3 months as $26.4K becomes key — 5 things to know in Bitcoin this week

Bitcoin sentiment is clinging to any optimism it can get — just like BTC price performance — as a new week of volatility triggers begins.

Most ‘fear’ in 3 months as $26.4K becomes key — 5 things to know in Bitcoin this week

Bitcoin (BTC) emerges from a hectic macro week to circle some classic trend lines near $26,000 — what could happen next?

After some brutal tests of traders’ resolve over the past seven days, the BTC price is still determined to hold familiar ground.

Market participants are in “wait and see” mode as a lack of clear direction characterizes the largest cryptocurrency at the start of a new week’s trading.

United States holidays mean traditional markets will only open on June 20, giving at least one day’s grace before any surprises hit.

There is still plenty left to deal with from last week, however, including BlackRock filing for a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). Rumors are now that Fidelity Investments might follow.

Gaming on Macs to suck less

Is Apple’s reign as the worst platform for gaming coming to an end?

Amidst all the hype about their long-rumored VR/AR headset, slated for release in early 2024 (queueing outside the Apple Store starts in October), it’s not the only signal that Apple might finally be sorting out its subpar gaming offering. It’s also releasing software that will make it easier to play Windows games on Mac.

Gaming on a Mac really sucks. Lots of games – particularly indie and early release ones – are not compatible. Keyboard mapping can be funky. To this day I have been unable to attach special tackles to my fishing rod (no, that is not innuendo) on the Mac edition of Stardew Valley.

With VR games, it’s even worse. If you want to spend hours watching YouTube videos, you can get most VR headsets to somewhat work with a Mac. But right now the only one that is really officially compatible seems to be the HTC Vive.

Are headsets the future of surfing the web? (Apple)

The downside of an Apple-native product is it comes with an Apple price tag: a hefty $3,499. It’s hard to justify that much money for exploring the empty, laggy metaverse when you could spend a few months travelling and seeing some of the coolest places in the actual world for the same price.
