I have never known about these sources, the blog post and the youtube video you gave.
So, in a word, I thank you for sharing them to me as well as other members in the IOTA community, especially someone who joined the forum.
It's the common upward movements in crypto right now.
Most of good assets, like IOTA, moved up from 30 percent to higher figures.
Bitcoin, in reality, broke out of its very strong resistance around $4200, that has extremely big impacts on the general situation of crypto market and the flow of money put into crypto rose dramatically as well.
Looks like IOTA is starting to seriously step this up - just when I was one foot out the door. Guess I've been listening to the wrong crowd... again/ Time to turn this around and start following the official channels
