    Bitcoin hits ‘this’ low, but what’s the unrevealed narrative around BTC


    Bitcoin’s SOPR hit its lowest point more than two years after the last one

    Short-term projections for the king coin showed bearish signs despite more long-term holders remaining in profit

    Bitcoin [BTC], for the first time since March 2020, hit its lowest point per Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) on 19 November. According to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn, it was necessary to touch upon this while considering Bitcoin’s on-chain status.


    He further revealed that BTC’s SOPR stood at 0.984 at press time. The metric hitting rock bottom implied that most HODLers sold BTC at a loss.

    Disney Plans Big Cuts After its 50th Anniversary Celebration


    Disney has a special place in many people’s hearts and the memories. If you breathe air and have been around in the last two centuries, you are bound to have fond memories of Disney. If it’s a Disney movie, a character you fell in love with, songs from the movies or memories from attending one of its many theme parks, there is a certain nostalgia that comes around whenever the word Disney is mentioned.

    Cosmos: Taking a short position on ATOM? Read this to get a clear picture


    Osmosis outperforms other DEXes in terms of development activity

    Despite this, Cosmos’ TVL continues to decline, along with its trading volume

    Osmosis, a DeFi project on the Cosmos blockchain, could be imperative for the latter’s growth in the DeFi space. This was because Osmosis managed to take a lead among DeFi protocols, such as MakerDAO and Lido in terms of development activity over the last few days.


    https://venturebeat.com/virtual/no-the-metaverse-is-not-dead-its-inevitable/


    No, the metaverse is not dead – it’s inevitable


    Over the last few weeks, many people have asked me the same question: Is the metaverse dead? This pessimism is not surprising, considering that Meta stock has lost over half its value since formally announcing its strategic pivot to the metaverse. Adding insult to injury, last week Meta announced major layoffs across the company, increasing fear throughout the industry.


    Trying my best to be objective, I see the current struggles at Meta as a reflection of its legacy business rather than an indication that its metaverse strategy is failing. I believe it will take another year or two before we can really predict whether Meta will be successful in this space, or if other large players will emerge as the true leaders of the metaverse.

    DOGE’s Social volumes declined but its funding rate unveiled some hope.

    Dogecoin’s [DOGE] reversal from the $0.07 support finally broke the streak of red candles as the buyers attempted to change the narrative. Consequently, the meme coin grew but flattened near the 200 EMA (green).

    Bored Ape isn't the only ethereum-fueled NFT collection impacted by the crypto crash.

    Last night, Sam Bankman-Fried DMed me on Twitter.


    That was surprising. I’d spoken to Bankman-Fried via Zoom earlier in the summer when I was working on a profile of him, so I reached out to him via DM on November 13, after news broke that his cryptocurrency exchange had collapsed, with billions in customer deposits apparently gone. I didn’t expect him to respond — typically, people under investigation by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice don’t return requests for comment.

    Retail and institutional investors weren’t the only ones to get rug pulled by FTX’s swift and stunning collapse last week.

    In addition to losing their jobs at the now-bankrupt exchange, many of FTX’s employees also appear to have significant amounts of personal wealth locked in the platform – wealth that is likely gone after being sucked into the black hole of the FTX disaster.

    The head of the world’s largest crypto exchange says that most people shouldn’t invest right now


    Even the crypto industry’s leaders are cautioning investors against buying the dip.


    With cryptocurrency prices so low, it might seem like a good time for first-time buyers to invest, after industry figureheads like Microstrategy’s Michael Saylor and Tesla’s Elon Musk popularized the “buy the dip” crypto trend this year.


    But the market is going through unprecedented turbulence right now after last week’s sudden implosion of FTX—one of the largest crypto exchanges—and the fall from grace of its founder and ex-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, a former hero to crypto insiders. Combined with a crypto winter that has dragged down cryptocurrency prices since last spring, the market is rife with uncertainty and low consumer confidence.

    The cryptocurrency exchange filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Nov. 11, after three turbulent days, which saw a company valued at $32 billion in February urgently calling on its rivals for help.

Bankman-Fried said FTX is willing to take the cash in whatever form it comes in, be it debt, equity, or a mixture of both.

    In bankrupt Lebanon, locals mine bitcoin and buy groceries with tether, as $1 is now worth 15 cents


    Once known for its stable and investment-friendly banking system, Lebanon has plunged into chaos as hyperinflation grips the country and banks force huge haircuts on dollar withdrawals.

    To make ends meet in a financial system that no longer makes sense, some Lebanese are mining bitcoin or storing wealth using the cryptocurrency.

    The dollar-pegged stablecoin tether, which users trade for cash, is also popular.

    Canadian cryptocurrency mining business Bitfarms has sold more than $62 million in Bitcoin in June, using the proceeds to settle its debt. About 3,000 Bitcoins, or roughly 47% of Bitfarms’ total holdings of about 6,349 BTC, have been sold in the preceding seven days, according to a statement released on Tuesday.


    According to the company, it will “rebalance its liabilities by lowering its BTC-backed credit facility with Galaxy Digital,” with the $62 million from BTC sales. As of the time of writing, Bitfarms’ debt was $38 million after using the cryptocurrency it sold in June to reduce its credit facility from $100 million to $66 million.

    The crypto-winter turned crypto-blizzard has led to tokens facing some of their most difficult days. Cardano [ADA] is one such altcoin that has receded back into the bearish zone.

    The world’s largest public holder of Bitcoin called on regulators to finally tackle a laundry list of risky, immature crypto industry practices, or “parade of horribles”, that are unfairly weighing on the price of its asset.


    Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor argues the over 19,000 cryptocurrencies and digital tokens in circulation must be viewed as “unregistered securities” that cannot be likened to a hard commodity like Bitcoin—which has no issuer, no management, no employees, no product cycle and only a finite supply.

    Litecoin [LTC] is one of the few altcoins that is managing to recover the losses gradually. This on all fronts is indicating a possible trend reversal.


    While resistance from the broader market cues is natural, the support it has from its investors will play a crucial role in helping the cryptocurrency recover quickly.

    The recent collapse in the value of cryptocurrencies has left a lot of investors in those digital assets in a lot of pain.

    The cryptocurrency market is seeing a flash of failed and struggling projects amid a rough downturn that has left investors fearful over what’s to come.


    Looking ahead, billionaire Mark Cuban sees extinction.


    “In stocks and crypto, you will see companies that were sustained by cheap, easy money—but didn’t have valid business prospects—will disappear,” the Shark Tank investor and Dallas Mavericks owner told Fortune. “Like [Warren] Buffett says, ‘When the tide goes out, you get to see who is swimming naked.’”

    The SEC filed a lawsuit in December 2020 against San Francisco-based firm Ripple Labs. The fintech firm allegedly raised funds through the sale of digital assets known as XRP in unregistered securities. It’s been more than two years, but a concrete outcome to this litigation seems far away.


    Furthermore, repetitive delays are making things worse for XRP holders who blamed the SEC for the same.

    Cryptocurrency: What it is and How it Works


    What is cryptocurrency?

    A cryptocurrency (or “crypto”) is a digital asset that can circulate without the need for a central monetary authority such as a government or bank. Instead, cryptocurrencies are created using cryptographic techniques that enable people to buy, sell or trade them securely.


    How does cryptocurrency work?

    Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies are supported by a technology known as blockchain, which maintains a tamper-resistant record of transactions and keeps track of who owns what. The creation of blockchains addressed a problem faced by previous efforts to create purely digital currencies: preventing people from making copies of their holdings and attempting to spend it twice

    Three Big Reasons Crypto Is in Trouble Right Now


    If you’ve detected some digital tears amid the sea of ape and punk avatars on Twitter, it’s because—not for the first time this year—cryptocurrencies are experiencing a major nosedive. Bitcoin briefly dropped below $20,000 Wednesday morning for the first time since December 2020, and other popular currencies like Ethereum have also plunged to their lowest levels in years. Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, had to halt Bitcoin withdrawals on its platform for a few hours on Tuesday. Yahoo Finance reports that on Monday, $1 billion worth of currency was liquidated from the market over a 24-hour period; overall, crypto has lost two-thirds of its market share since its November peak.

    Ethereum [ETH]’s much-awaited “Merge” is here. And it is here to create the much-anticipated shift in paradigm i.e. the shift from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Much has been said about ETH’s merger, however, how has the token faired amid the ongoing changes to the network? Let’s find out…

    The biggest corporate holder of bitcoin is facing a reckoning


    MicroStrategy is famous for owning more bitcoin than any other publicly-traded company. As of June 14, the Virginia-based business intelligence company holds 129,218 bitcoins, more than two-and-a-half times as much as Tesla, the next largest bitcoin owner. That bitcoin is now worth about $2.9 billion, less than half of the roughly $6 billion it was worth just two months ago.

    For a time, Coinbase looked like one of the great success stories of the cryptocurrency era. The company built one of the best-known and most reliable crypto exchanges in the world (although most of its customers are in the US). Its assets under management ballooned from $11 billion in 2018 to $223 billion in 2021. And its initial public offering in April 2021 was exquisitely timed to harness bitcoin’s upward trajectory. The Observer included Coinbase in its 2022 list of the most important companies in decentralized finance.

    As bearish sentiment floods financial markets, experts are weighing in on whether Bitcoin will plunge below the $20,000 mark—and what might happen if it does.


    Bitcoin, now firmly in a bear market, is currently trading at just above $22,000, a remarkable fall from its all-time high price of nearly $69,000—and a drop that most observers attribute to worsening macro-economic conditions, such as rising inflation and interest rates.

    Celsius Network, one of the biggest crypto lenders, told customers Sunday evening that it is pausing withdrawals, swap, and transfers between accounts in a move that has sparked discussions and prompted the price of the firm’s token to take a 60% tumble in the past one hour to as low as 19 cents.

    When a cryptocurrency you never heard of drains your life savings


    Steve Insall has watched his life savings disappear by the second in an app on his phone.


    He spent most of Tuesday, May 10, in his condo, trying to withdraw anything that remained of the $320,000 balance that was there just days before.


    The app wouldn’t let him. While watching Bloomberg TV talk about a cryptocurrency he only learned of the day before, he tried to hide his panic from his wife.


    “She was getting ready for work, the baby was eating on the highchair,” Insall said. “The 3-year-old was on an iPad. I was keeping it all inside.”

    Why Cryptocurrency Might Turn Out To Be Worthless, According To A Nobel Laureate Economist


    Cryptocurrencies have no dearth of skeptics with relevant domain expertise, and now Nobel laureate Paul Krugman has joined that ever-expanding list of vocal pessimists. Krugman, who was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2008 for his pioneering work linking trade patterns with geography and globalization, compared the current crypto-verse with the stock and housing market crash of 2008 that led to losses worth over a trillion dollars for investors.

However, the project has since gotten back on track as the team has assured the public that the Merge will happen sometime this year. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has disagreed with this timeline, saying that the merge will not happen in 2022.

    How Gen Z Is Hooked On Cryptocurrency And NFTs


    It is known that digital tokens have two key characteristics: they serve as a medium of exchange and a means of accumulation. These characteristics influenced the adoption of new technology by different generations. If the older generation is more inclined toward long-term investments, they consider digital tokens to save money; the younger generation prefers to evaluate the liquidity of these tokens and the possibility of using them for a transaction.


    Most young investors are confident that cryptocurrencies will make them millionaires. According to a survey conducted among 1030 US residents over 18 years old, 60% of zoomers (Generation Z) expect to become millionaires thanks to investments in cryptocurrencies. According to experts, young people are becoming more interested in crypto and rejecting traditional finance amid rising inflation and rising prices for real estate and education.

    Why Nobody Knows Who Created Bitcoin


    For years, many have been debating the true identity of Bitcoin's credited inventor: Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2008, the website bitcoin.org went online, and after two months, it unveiled a whitepaper detailing the concept behind a peer-to-peer electronic cash system (via Business Insider). This document also contained the name of its author, Satoshi Nakamoto, leading most to believe that he was the one and only individual human person responsible for creating the most popular cryptocurrency today. While there are undoubtedly a lot of people in the world who go by that name, there is at least one who was linked to Bitcoin based on his distinct set of skills and background.

    All crypto influencers and Web3 project founders EXPOSED?


    An Anonymous Twitter user is planning of releasing over 100GB of Telegram messages, exposing popular crypto influencers and project founders.

    The Anon claimed many influencers engaged in scams, rug pulls, and even sexual assaults and assassinations.

    The information could wreck the crypto market, but many doubts the veracity of the calms.

    LINK marines rejoice after Chainlink 2.0 brings a new roadmap and staking


    Passive income opportunities are one of the biggest draws in the cryptocurrency ecosystem because it gives investors an easy opportunity to grow their portfolio size regardless of the day-to-day price action.


    The latest token to get a bump in its price after announcing the upcoming implementation of staking is Chainlink (LINK), the decentralized oracle network that provides important off-chain information needed for the proper functioning of smart contracts.


    Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that since bouncing off a low of $6.67 on June 4, the price of LINK has increased 35% to hit a daily high of $9.00 on June 7.

    Payment processor PayPal will allow users to transfer their crypto to external wallets and exchanges, according to a statement from Jose Fernandez da Ponte, Senior Vice President at the company. The new feature was highly demanded by the users, the executive confirmed.

    Cryptocurrency meltdown is wake-up call for many, including Congress


    Meltdowns in the cryptocurrency space are common, but the latest one really touched some nerves. Novice investors took to online forums to share tales of decimated fortunes and even suicidal despair. Experienced crypto supporters, including one prominent billionaire, were left feeling humbled.


    When the stablecoin TerraUSD imploded last month, an estimated $40 billion in investor funds was erased — and so far there has been little or no accountability. Stablecoins are supposed to be less vulnerable to big swings — thus the name — but Terra suffered a spectacular collapse in a matter of days.

    NFT Renting: Why You Might Want To And How To Do It


    The world is experiencing somewhat of a revolution in terms of non-fungible tokens. But unfortunately, the NFT market has also taken a massive hit amid a crypto crash. Since its peak in 2021, the market is down about 92 percent! But that doesn’t necessarily mean the death of NFTs as a whole. Just possibly the end of JPEG monkeys. In reality, NFTs can provide value by utilizing smart contracts and the like on the Ethereum blockchain. But, did you know NFT renting is a thing? Here’s how and why you would rent an NFT.

    Crypto doesn’t belong in retirement accounts


    I have long ago given up handicapping the price of bitcoin. I told people they were crazy to get in at $1,000. It doesn’t get much less prescient than that.


    After falling by half to $29,000, bitcoin is now closer to $1,000 than it is to all-time highs around $70,000. It’s not the golden ticket it appeared to be during the pandemic investment mania, but it’s certainly made some people rich.

    Explaining why people are buying and NOT buying Bitcoin [BTC]


    Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have been at the center of financial markets in 2022. Extreme volatile trends coupled with aggressive development in the Web 3 space have caught the eyes of many. To further study these trends, Block Inc. recently published a report detailing a survey of 9,500 people across major continents.


    Block Inc. partnered with Wakefield Research to publish the report titled “Bitcoin: Knowledge and Perception.” The report talks about the retail trends of Bitcoin perception in 14 countries across the world.

    All Their Apes Gone


    Early last year, when nonfungible tokens arose out of the crypto world to become something of a cultural phenomenon, there was nary a grinning ape in sight. But within a few months, those avatars—procedurally generated simians sporting hats and sunglasses and drawn, more or less, in the manic style of a Gorillaz video—became the face of not only NFTs, but in some ways the broader mania around cryptocurrency. Yes, Bored Ape Yacht Club avis are basically just .jpgs stored on a digital ledger, easy for anyone on the web to right-click and save. And yes, though much of the rest of the NFT market has cratered, the apes remain a status symbol, having fetched nearly $20 million just over the past week with an average price of $188,000 per ape, according the website NFT Stats.

That premise lies at the core of what SEXN, a new cryptocurrency startup, is banking on as the next frontier for web3. The name “SEXN” stems from an existing lifestyle app called STEPN that theoretically allows users to earn money by walking, jogging, and just generally being active.

One of the most classic titles associated with Warner Bros. is Looney Tunes, the animated animals that have been around since 1930. According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, the iconic franchise is getting an unexpected treatment by being turned into NFTs.
