As Bitcoin's popularity grew, so did the challenge of scaling the network to accommodate more transactions. The original design has its limits on how many transactions can be processed at a time, leading to potential delays and higher fees during busy periods.
Innovative Solutions: Technologies like the Lightning Network are being developed as a layer on top of Bitcoin to enable faster and cheaper transactions. It's similar to building express lanes on a highway to allow for more traffic to flow smoothly.
Bitcoin introduced an economic model where the total supply is capped at 21 million coins, mimicking scarce resources like gold. This scarcity could potentially make Bitcoin a hedge against inflation as traditional fiat currencies can be printed without limit.
Curiosity Point: Think of Bitcoin as a digital form of gold mining. Instead of physically digging into the earth, miners solve complex mathematical puzzles to "mine" new bitcoins, adding them to the circulating supply until the cap is reached.
At the heart of Bitcoin is a revolutionary idea: transactions can occur directly between two parties without the need for a trusted third party, like a bank. This is made possible through a technology called blockchain, which acts like a public ledger. Imagine a global spreadsheet that records every transaction in such a secure way that once something is added, it cannot be changed or removed. This creates trust not from a central institution, but from the system itself, which is maintained by a network of computers around the world.
Real-World Example: It's like sending an email directly to a friend without having to go through a post office that checks and approves each message. This level of direct control could redefine how we think about sending and receiving money.
Let's explore the groundbreaking ideas introduced by the Bitcoin Whitepaper in a way that's accessible to everyone, especially if you're just beginning your journey into the world of cryptocurrency. This exploration is not just about Bitcoin itself but about the ripple effect it has had on technology, finance, and how we perceive value in the digital age.

Solana-Themed Meme Coin BOME Produces $30.2 Million for Biggest Buyer
The pre-sale participant took $3.66 million in gains out of a possible $30.2 million.
Bulls took advantage of sellers’ fatigue, and are attempting to drive the price to $0.030.
While the market cap dropped to $1.01 billion, volatility remained extreme.
Three days after turning $72,000 to $30.2 million, sundayfunday.sol, the largest presale participant of Solana-based meme coin BOOK OF MEMES (BOME) took some profits. According to Lookonchain, the participants spent 421 SOL to buy 1.43 billion BOME.
After the price pumped and the market cap surpassed $1 billion, he sold 190 million BOME for $3.66 million. As of this writing, the trader still had 1.24 billion BOME, valued at $26.57 million left.

On March 16, Coin Edition reported how the meme coin caught the attention of Binance as the exchange announced the listing of its perpetual contract. Moments later, the price of BOME rallied to $0.0264.
However, a ton of the early investors seemed to have taken profit off the pump. As a result, the meme coin’s price dropped. At press time, CoinMarketCap data showed that BOME changed hands at $0.0198.
BOME Price Prediction
On the 1-hour BOME/USDT chart using TradingView, bulls seemed ready to help the price retest $0.0264. At press time, sellers seem to have been exhausted at $0.0178. Consequently, bulls took advantage of the fatigue and revered the trend upwards.
However, in the build up to $0.0264, BOME might encounter an overhead resistance at $0.0226. A successful breach of this resistance might send the token to $0.030. But if the token experiences rejection at this level, the price might reverse below $0.020.
Furthermore, the Bollinger Bands (BB) showed that volatility around the cryptocurrency remained extreme. A bullish scenario with this kind of volatility might produce another 5x for the meme coin.
In a highly bearish condition, the price of BOME might plunge back to $0.0178. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained above the neutral zone. This indicates that the token still had some bullish momentum left despite the selling pressure it recently experienced.

Despite the recent drawdown, BOOK OF MEMES has remained a top 100 cryptocurrency. At press time, it was ranked number 97 with a market cap of $1.01 billion. The meme coin is the third Solana-based token to rise into the top 100 after Bonk (BONK) and dogwifhat (WIF).
However, both WIF and BONK have experienced major nosedives lately as it seems liquidity from there moved to BOME. In the last 24 hours, WIF’s price decreased by 12.92%. BONK, on the other hand, lost 19.72% of its value.
