Cryptocurrency’s latest use case: Music production?
A recent collaboration between social influencers Estefannie and Look Mum No Computer, the pseudonym of musician Sam Battle, has resulted in a device that creates sounds (or music, perhaps, to some?) based on the price volatility of various cryptocurrency markets. Battle constructed a mechanism to generate voltage fluctuations as derived from changes in crypto price, and Estefannie programmed a Raspberry Pi to produce a sequence of relevant sounds from that data.

Popular cryptocurrency trader Keith Wareing warned Bitcoin (BTC) traders about a critical bearish scenario brewing in the market.

The technical design typically leads the price lower by as much as the size of the previous decline. Bitcoin topped near $65,000 in mid-April before reversing to the downside in later sessions.
