What is Crypto Ping Pong digest?
So all the TC lads here are working quite hard and from time to time we gotta chill.
That’s why we got ourselves a ping pong table to complete our lazy-bag-stuffed chill zone. As you all know our main hobby is Crypto, so even while we play we don’t really shut up about it. Ever.
During the game, we have a rule not to discuss serious topics like analytics, predictions, etc.
