#BTC☀ #btcBitcoin (BTC) was invented by a pseudonymous individual or group named Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and is the world’s first enduring cryptocurrency that succeeded where decades of digital cash experiments failed.
Bitcoin’s monetary policy is enforced through a unique blend of software, cryptography and financial incentives rather than the whim of trusted third parties. The Bitcoin network is powered by a cryptographically secure, verifiable database called the blockchain — itself a technological phenomenon.
The Bitcoin ecosystem consists of a global network of stakeholders, including the miners that secure the network and drive the issuance of the Bitcoin currency, the traders who speculate on this radically market-driven asset, and the builders working to onboard people to the cryptocurrency paradigm.
At Cointelegraph, we are chronicling the ongoing story of Bitcoin and the rise of a borderless, permissionless financial system. What has changed since Satoshi wrote the Bitcoin white paper? How is Bitcoin trading developing over the years, what are the best ways of investing in Bitcoin, and how do Bitcoin futures influence blockchain adoption? How will industry stakeholders work to make Bitcoin a mainstay in people’s lives, and will incumbent and legacy systems accept or fight this change?

Memecoin sector’s continued growth hinges on long-term utility
Many memecoins have produced staggering returns since the start of 2024, but their lack of utility and the proliferation of scams have raised questions about their long-term stability.
Despite the recent craze surrounding Bitcoin
#BTC tickers down $63,063— which saw the digital asset hit an all-time high of $73,600 in March — the memecoin sector has been the most profitable crypto narrative so far in 2024, registering average returns of over 1,300% across the top tokens by market capitalization. Several memecoins have seemingly taken the market by storm overnight, with newly launched offerings, such as Book of Meme (BOME), Brett (BRETT) and Cat in a Dogs World (MEW), shooting up the rankings to become top 10 meme projects in a matter of weeks. Amid this frenzy, many traders have managed to turn small investments into life-changing sums.
For example, one investor turned $13,000 into over $2 million in just an hour by investing in the Donotfomoew (MOEW) token shortly after its initial decentralized exchange (DEX) listing on April 3. According to reports, the trader first purchased 499.9 million MOEW for four Ether ETH tickers down $3,051minutes after its debut. Less than an hour later, the trader sold 111.65 million MOEW tokens for 99 ETH, worth around $328,000 at the time.In another similar occurrence, a trader spent $8,300 accumulating billions of Apu Apustaja (APU) tokens, only to sell them later when the price surged to a high of $0.0007907, bringing the total worth of their investment to approximately $6.5 million.

BLACKROCK IS BUYING BITCOIN AND PREPPING FOR ETF APPROVAL
BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, is moving closer to launching a Bitcoin ETF, evidenced by its iShares Bitcoin Trust appearing on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) website. The listing of the fund, which goes by the ticker IBTC, makes it the first proposed spot Bitcoin ETF on DTCC, a financial market giant that handles trillions of dollars in daily transactions.
This listing comes after BlackRock amended its original Bitcoin ETF proposal on October 18. Scott Johnsson, an associate at Davis Polk & Wardwell, pointed out that the amended filing included a CUSIP—a unique identifier necessary for North American securities. The filing also vaguely mentioned that seed creation baskets for the ETF would be purchased in October, subject to certain conditions. That means that Bitcoin is BUYING BITCOIN, although it may be in small amounts.
The developments at BlackRock are part of a larger trend, as other investment firms like Ark Invest and 21Shares have also updated their Bitcoin ETF applications recently. Ark Invest's amendments followed discussions with the SEC, further indicating regulatory conversations are taking place. Grayscale is also progressing, registering shares of its existing Bitcoin Trust under the Securities Act of 1933, aiming to eventually convert it into an ETF.
Analysts and legal experts view these developments as signs that the approval of Bitcoin ETFs could be imminent, with BlackRock's moves seen as particularly bullish. This optimism comes amidst a backdrop of legal developments, like the DC Circuit Court's recent ruling that criticized the SEC's rejection of Grayscale's ETF conversion as "arbitrary and capricious."
The market appears to be responding positively, Bitcoin's price rose by 15% in the last 24 hours, standing at roughly $34,200.
