SUI has broken out of the descending channel with strong volume, signaling a potential shift in momentum. However, it's currently facing resistance from the Ichimoku Cloud, which has rejected further upward movement.
A retest of the channel's breakout level is possible, and a successful break above the Ichimoku Cloud resistance could confirm the start of a bullish trend.$SUI #TON #DOGSONBINANCE #PowellAtJacksonHole #SUI🔥
Historically: $BTC rally after halving with new ATH.
But this time it was different. We went down, not up.
Is it over for Bitcoin? Were $73k the forever high?
Here's Why it happened and When will $BTC hit $100k 🧵🔽
The 4th $BTC halving has occurred, marking a unique milestone with significant institutional investment participation ($BTC ETF) for the first time.
Historically, Bitcoin halvings are linked with a notable event — a subsequent rise in $BTC price, typically observed post-halving.
As for the 2024 Bitcoin halving, while it remains to be seen if it will follow this established pattern, there are already noticeable differences.
Since the 1st Bitcoin halving, the rate of new Bitcoin creation has decreased, but demand has continued to grow.
Despite Bitcoin's status as the largest crypto by market capitalization and its pioneering role, it appears to have fewer users compared to the broader financial ecosystem.
According to Technopedia, ~2.7% of the global population is estimated to own Bitcoin as of 2024.
In contrast to previous cycles, where significant price increases typically occurred after the halving, this time there has been notable price appreciation leading up to the halving itself.
We thought post-halving price should be much higher ⇾ We all bought before halving.
One of the notable distinctions of the 4th Bitcoin halving in 2024 is the extraordinary price growth observed before the event.
In the previous Bitcoin halving cycle in 2020, Bitcoin did not surpass its previous ATH of $20,000 until about 10 months after the halving event.
Some experts, like investment researcher Lyn Alden, believe Bitcoin could reach new highs in 2024 due to factors beyond just the halving and US ETFs.
99% of experts still believe in 2024-2025 rally to $100,000 at least.
#BTC chart to break on the downside? I know this pattern is for trend continuation and we are in short term downtrend.
But don't worry We have multiple evidences that the market is going up very soon
GERMANY OUT OF BITCOINS
The sell pressure for Bitcoin from big holders is relatively nil. The price saw a dip to $54k support which was backed really strongly by the bulls
INCREASING ETF INFLOWS
Total inflows since July 8 is close to almost 10k for BTC. While some were selling the ETF news has kept everyone really positive.
BLACKROCK ARE BUYING MORE When such big giants are buying more there is no need to be worried. The recent purchase from #BlackRock is over 2000 Bitcoin
MARKET CYCLE HISTORY
When we speak of the bearish nature of ascending triangle, its worth noting that they can break on the other side especially when other factors are strong
The Market is yet to peak and the long term plans of holders can easily dominate short term
EXTREME FEAR IS BULLISH
When we are in a larger uptrend, the best opportunities are there in short to medium term dips where the fear is the most.
This is the area where big players come in and sell pressure is heavily reduced BULLISH DIVERGENCE The confirmation of this event last week has been pretty useful in the short term. This signal popped up in October 2023 where #BTC finally made new high after a breakout. Something similar is possible once again
Standard Chart Patterns are there to be taken seriously but we have to understand that they can only give us an idea.
There are multiple factors which play a strong role and we should be aware about them
He launched the first memecoin created by AI with only $69
Now it's a memecoin with $250M mc ($670M mc peak)
Here is a story on how he launched a meme coin using ChatGPT 🧵👇
Rhett Mankind or @rhett is a Digital Art Experimenter, was a little-known influencer
One day, he decided to experiment with creating a meme coin using ChatGPT and $69
Now it turned out to be a coin - $TURBO with $250M mc
Let's dive in 👇 He went to ChatGPT, said he had a budget of $69, and asked it to create the next great meme coin, aiming for a top 300 ranking on Coingecko The first thing ChatGPT suggested was to create a concept, story, ticker, etc Among all ChatGPT's ideas, and through voting, TurboToad was chosen Since Rhett knew nothing about blockchain code, a problem arose
He told ChatGPT that he didn't know anything about coding and literally asked it to write the code for him
Which ChatGPT did
That concluded the first day of creating the token
Ofc, the code had a bunch of errors that weren't fixed even after using ChatGPT, and ChatGPT advised getting an audit
With this, Rhett turned to his community, and as a result, a couple of developers reviewed it and suggested a few updates
But after the launch, a problem arose: "Project over budget and failed on DEX launch."
The first token failed, but community forced him to push forward
He told ChatGPT that his budget was now $0 and it gave him a list of ideas
He decided to shorten the ticker to $TURBO, made a website, and a Twitter account
The next problem was the budget for creating a liquidity pool
With the help of the community, he organized a fair launch where 50 people donated to him for the creation of the token
This resulted in 69 billion $TURBO, 50 holders, and +3.5 ETH (USD $6669) Waking up the next day, he saw a $10,000,000 market cap, and literally three hours later, it was already $25,000,000 with $6,900,000 in volume Now it's $250M mc($670M mc peak)
Key dates to remember through this thread: - 25th September 2020 - $9.83 - 11th July 2024 - $12.90
Ready to be shocked? 🧵👇
Without an argument, Chainlink has brought so many benefits to the #crypto space, but even with all these benefits, why is the token price the same after 4 years? 4 years ago from now the #token price was $9.83 and today we do not see much of a difference.
The total supply for #Chainlink is 1 billion tokens, with only a portion of 608 million actually being the circulating supply.
Here is where things get interesting.
September 27, 2020 the circulating supply of Chainlink was at 371 million tokens. Based on the #supply #chart below, we can see that gradually more and more tokens were supplied to the #circulation. Close to half of what the current supply of the token is.
Right after the key date of September 25, Chainlink mooned, prices went to an #ATH of $52.70. This happened on the 10th of May 2021. Now going back to the supply chart, we see an increase in token #supply. From 371 million to 420 million.
After May 10th the supply chart continiues to increase, the actual token price starts to drop at a fast pace. Exactly a year after, Chainlink drops to prices around $7. Although the quick and heavy #drop, token supply continiues to go up.
The only difference in Chainlink is the token supply. With a circulating supply that has doubled within 4 years. The value of each #individual #token has inevitably halved.
Now before you ask yourself why the heck hasnt the price of #Chainlink increased, think of the circulating #supply and what it is at that time.
If you read this full #thread make sure to leave a like and comment your opinion on what you think happened.
Norwegian student Christopher Koch learned about bitcoin while working on his dissertation about encryption.
To gain practical knowledge, he bought about $27 worth of BTC. It was 2009.
Bitcoin was not even mentioned until 2008, reacting to the global financial crisis.
The money Koch spent was enough for 5,000 tokens.
Christoph told his girlfriend about buying bitcoins, but she wasn't thrilled and gave him a hard time, thinking it was a waste of money.
"She thought I was wasting money on nonsense", — the Norwegian recalls.
After the successful defense of the thesis, real life began with finding a job and household chores.
Bitcoin was not profitable, and Koch forgot about the purchase and moved on with his life.
At the exchange rate, the value of 5,000 bitcoins was 5 million crowns or 885,000 dollars.
Koch, having completed his doctoral studies, did not sell it all at once and retained his millionaire status. Koch withdrew 1.1 million kroner for the apartment, leaving the rest of the assets to run.
He checked the account daily, watching it grow by 50,000 kroner.
Every day I logged into the online bank and saw that the account had grown. Plus 50,000 kroner, plus 50,000 kroner again", — laughs the Norwegian.
"Even in my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined that they would soar like this".
Apple has begun actively investing in the AI sector
Missing out on this is like not buying BTC in 2009!
By 2030, the AI sector will be valued at $2T
Here are 7 tokens that will make 100X 🧵👇
Artificial intelligence is the 2024 theme and is here to stay.
Combining AI and cryptocurrencies could create a trillion-dollar market.
Experts predict AI investments might hit $2 trillion by 2030.
Now's the time to pay attention.
AI x Crypto sector is still in its early stages.
The crypto AI sector is just beginning to take shape, but every major global company will be pouring money into it.
For example, Apple has already integrated GPT-4.0 into the interface of the iPhone 15 Pro in a recent update.

October 31 / 2008 A white paper was published in an online cryptography mailing list describing a digital cryptocurrency. This nine-page research was titled "#Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".
Jan 3 / 2009
The Bitcoin network was created by mining the starting block of the chain, known as the "Genesis Block".
It contained the first 50 $BTC and a message in the code:
"The Times 03 / Jan / 2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."
During these 64 days, a new story relating to the concept of an entirely new type of money was started.
However, if there're not for Sat... We would never have heard about the crypto world.
So, who is behind it?
One thing we know, based on interviews, is that he thought the system out very thoroughly.
"His coding wasn’t conventional" Jeff Garzik, a core developer, wrote.
He didn’t apply the same rigorous testing that you would expect from a classic software engineer.
Attempt to reveal
There have been several people attributed with being or claiming to be Nakamoto.
But none of the claims or proposals have proven to be true.
Dorian Nakamoto, Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Craig Wright, David Kleiman, etc.
Net Worth
An analysis by Sergio Lerner, an authority on Bitcoin and cryptography, suggests:
— Nakamoto mined many of the early blocks of Bitcoin — He'd built up a fortune of around 1M unspent $BTC
That hoard would be worth more than $70 billion U.S. dollars as of March 08, 2024.
"If he'd be revealed, $BTC $BTC die"
Some argue that Bitcoin'd not be able to function as efficiently if the identity of Satoshi was revealed.
The arguments for this position would include:
— Decentralization / Focus on Technology — Trustless System / Fostering Community
Founder of Luna and UST, whose collapse wiped out $45 billion in one week.
Here's the untold story behind it
🧵👇
Do Kwon is a South Korean entrepreneur known for his work in the cryptocurrency space.
He holds a degree in Computer Science from Stanford University.
Before diving into blockchain, Kwon worked as a software engineer at Apple and Microsoft.
In 2018, Do Kwon founded Terraform Labs.
They raised $32+25M from Binance, Coinbase, Arrington XRP and Polychain.
In 2020, Terraform Labs unveiled the TerraUSD (UST) algorithmic stablecoin, which was pegged to the U.S. dollar.
The stablecoin was backed by the LUNA token, which theoretically helped maintain the stablecoin’s dollar value.
While everyone thought South Korea used UST, Terraform had artificially mirrored Chai transactions on its network to create the impression of legitimate traffic.
Kwon suggested they create “fake transactions that look real,” and promised to “try my best to make it indiscernible.” Kwon always played his own game and misled people.
Before the crash, he accepted a $1M bet that Luna wouldn't fall lower and even offered a bet that UST wouldn't depeg. So why did Luna and UST crash? 👇 In May 2022 Terra's Anchor Protocol started reducing the interest rates it provided for stablecoin deposits.
This caused a decline in the number of lenders, who started exiting UST The burn-and-mint mechanism used by Terra allowed holders to swap UST for LUNA tokens was slow and faced technical issues, with exchanges pausing withdrawals.
This mechanism also led to the dilution of the LUNA token supply, causing its price to drop further.
The depeg of UST from the dollar became bigger as the automated mechanism at Curve’s pool created more discount to incentivize arbitrage traders.
As a result of these factors, UST lost its peg to the dollar, and the price of LUNA dumped.
Accidentally threw away an HDD with $427M on itSounds like fiction, but James Howells doesn't think
How it happened Everyone has probably heard the story of James Howells. In 2013, this 27-year-old British developer's life changed when he threw away a hard drive that may now be the world's most expensive. Howells had two 2.5-inch HDDs.One he wanted to throw away, and the other had a digital wallet with 7,500 bitcoins on it. Unfortunately, the second HDD ended up in the landfill. Now the programmer's lifelong goal is to find that hard drive.
Solana: From a Garage Startup to One of the Largest Blockchains
I researched an interview with $SOL CEO Daniel Albert
The info I found was shocking...
Here is the past and the future of Solana Foundation 🧵👇 Why did Daniel join Solana?
He has been following the cryptocurrency industry since 2017
He joined Solana full-time in 2019
All the co-founders of Solana and most of the early developers, we all came from Qualcomm Qualcomm is a large technology company; they manufacture chips for mobile phones and mobile networks Daniel didn't join SOL immediately when he was invited because of his work in Antarctica But later in 2019, he eventually agreed and entered SOL with 10-12 other people
What was Solana in 2019?
They had a small office in San Francisco, but they worked in Greg's basement during that 1st summer of 2019 $SOL
TX processing and the super-fast consensus that SOL is famous for were already functioning
Firstly they just play with stuff in Greg's house
Then they took it to a data center, installed them in a rack, and this was the 1st physical installation of SOL validators
About parallel execution of TXs
This is the main reason for the high TPS
SOL's consensus mechanism is very different from many EVM-compatible networks
The parallel execution engine allows Sol's environment, which actually processes your tx, to scale with the hardware When performing tasks in parallel, it simply applies more cores and achieves greater parallelism over time As long as people use the internet, and Intel, AMD, and Nvidia fight, chips will get faster, and data transfer speeds will increase Solana will always get faster
