Crypto Wendy on trashing the SEC, sexism, and how underdogs can win: Hall of Flame

Name: Wendy O 
Anonymous: No

Known for: crypto commentary, shitposting, trading analysis and community initiatives

Wendy is a former healthcare professional turned crypto trader and content creator, or what she describes as a “YouTube shock jock.” 

While the switch from health to crypto came about due to a number of reasons, one big factor was that the long commutes and working hours were taking her away from spending more time with her number one asset: her daughter.

“For seven years, I worked in infectious disease, HIV/AIDS, and I had a three-hour round trip commute four times a week. I was far from my daughter, and I just wanted to be close to her,” she says, adding: 

So then I bought some Bitcoin. And I was like, Oh, God, this is cool. Like, I didn’t really know, I just saw a number go up. And I was like, awesome. This is cool. This stands for liberty.”

ARB price to $2? Ethereum L2 rival Arbitrum will double in April, fractal suggests

The price of Arbitrum (ARB) has dropped by nearly 20% a week after establishing its record high at $1.60 on March 23. However, the Ethereum layer-2 token looks set to resume its uptrend in the coming weeks.

Polygon price fractal

The cues for a bullish Arbitrum token could be traced back to its Ethereum L2 rival Polygon's market debut.

MATIC started trading on Binance on April 26, 2019, at $0.0026 per token. MATIC/USD rallied nearly 300% to reach $0.0105 on the same day before wiping out 70% of those gains in a market correction by May 9, 2019.

It regained its upside momentum afterward, rallying by nearly 1,350% to $0.045 on May 21, 2019.
