The accelerated pace and depth of bitcoin losses in conjunction with the stocks rout could challenge support for the cryptocurrency from a range of investor groups.

From games to piggy banks: Educating the Bitcoin 'minors' of the future (Cointelegraph)

Cointelegraph interviewed founders of Bitcoin games and toys to understand why we need them and the knock-on effects of orange-pilling kids.

As the educators explained, exposure to Bitcoin from a young age is another small step on that path. The BitPiggy works with OpenDime, a Bitcoin USB stick that allows people to spend Bitcoin-like dollar bills, to teach kids how to save some or all of their money in Bitcoin. MTC told Cointelegraph, “If you can encourage kids to see their savings growing then it puts them on the path to understanding sound money and Bitcoin.” Plus, the Gen-Z — the Zoomer — generation has a headstart understanding intangible digital products: “Transacting in Bitcoin is going to be no different than buying a new skin or level in a video game they are currently playing.” A passionate educator, Sibley told Cointelegraph that breaking the money taboo and educating kids about finance is critical: Targeted at kids aged four and over, creator Scott Sibley shared that he had his “toddler in mind for both the creation of the game and book.”

Crypto price trends: Polkadot flips DOGE, Bitcoin at $20000 (Analytics Insight)

Crypto price trends today have a few surprises. There's a new cryptocurrency in the top 10 tokens by market cap, and new tokens in the top 20 too.

The crypto price of Litecoin is $42.93 and has dropped 4% over the past day. The crypto price of Polkadot (DOT) is currently $7.09 and down 3% in the past day. Meanwhile, the crypto token Stellar (XLM) has risen to 23rd place. This is the lowest Bitcoin price since December 2020 and a loss of 31% in price over the past week. While this is the lowest since at least 2018 – and a strong buy indicator for Bitcoin – there’s no sign of the Bitcoin price recovering yet. Losses have continued through to June 15 with the crypto market cap currently at $880 billion.
