Unemployment rate rose to 3.9% from 3.7% and hourly earnings weaker than expected w/+0.1% MoM. January’s blow-out release has been relativized. Source: HolgerZ, Bloomberg

Interesting chart by TheMacroCompass.com
cryptos and gold are impossible to value but they are in some extent comparables in the role they play as an alternative to the fiat money system. Currently, Gold is 20.5% of the Fiat money in the 5 largest economies. After recent rally, the total cryptocurrencies market cap is just 3.4%. If you think teh gap between gold and cryptos should continue to narrow, there might be further upside. NB: this is NOT an investemnt recommendation
Gold ETFs is losing its shine, while Bitcoin ETFs is in its prime.
Bitcoin ETFs are catching up to Gold ETFs. Gold ETFs currently hold ~$92B. Bitcoin ETFs currently hold ~$40.7B. source : bitcoin archives
