As crypto community members celebrated Thanksgiving, many expressed gratitude for the progress of the digital asset space over the years.
From comparing price points for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) last year to sharing their Thanksgiving conversations about BTC, crypto users exchanged their musings on X (formerly Twitter) for the holiday.
Animoca Brands Chairman Yat Siu reminded his followers that there is “much to be grateful for.” Siu posted ETH and BTC prices a year ago and compared them with current market prices. The executive also mentioned Web3’s total market capitalization, which has grown to $1.4 trillion.
