alt. mondays 048

We like to keep things upbeat and optimistic with our weekly alt. mondays playlists. But because we also designed alt mondays to capture the zeitgeist of the moment, as the world turns. Thus, we have to talk about what's going on in the crypto world. Or at least represent it in some way, our feelings about it, with music that matches the state of digital currencies as #TheDip continues across multiple cryptocurrencies. CNN reports that along with bitcoin's fall below $30,202 on Wednesday, Ethereum plummeted below $2,000 per unit after trading above $3,000 on Tuesday. Ether plunged by 22% standing nearly $2,600 Wednesday afternoon, while Elon Musk's dogecoin lost more than 24% of its value.

We don't know how long #TheDip will go on for, or if there will be a lasting impact on the path of cryptocurrencies towards being the monies of the future. But we have collected a set of songs that promise better days for anyone who is currently losing their net worth, savings or mind to this crypto crash. Hold tight, with these picks from Jorja Smith, Green Day, Wizkid, Travis Scott, Buju and more, it's really the least we could do.
