Introduction

Bitcoin is up 0.8% while Ether has ticked down slightly by 0.4%. Bitcoin retook $30,000 after it briefly dipped below that mark yesterday. A miss on the headline non-farm payroll numbers and wage growth could bring back a positive move to risk assets such as crypto currencies. The Dow industrial average fell 0.5%, the S&P 500 is flat, and the NASDAQ composite gained 0.2%. More macro stuff coming in after the break.
