 LikeCoin Chain Upgrade — ChungKing LikeCoin Chain Upgrade — ChungKing - LikeCoin Chain Upgrade — ChungKing ChungKing is the fourth major upgrade of the LikeCoin chain. The codename ChungKing is inspired by the Hong Kong film Chungking Express and the iconic ChungKing mansion, one of the defining works of 1990s cinema and the film that made Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. The film reflected Hong Kong’s identity of becoming in the colonial era. During that period, Hong Kong was influenced by Western culture and started to construct its own cultural identity. — What is included in the ChungKing upgrade? - — Cosmos SDK Upgrade. — We will be upgrading to Cosmos-SDK 0.46, which contains x/nft (which we already back-ported to SDK 0.45 in the last version) and x/group module. Also, ledger support for authz module is re-introduced. We will also be upgrading to IBC-go 5.3.1, which is the supported version containing a security fix for Huckleberry. — Fee grant and authz support. — We have to implement fee grant and authz support for ISCN and x/likenft modules, enabling better onboarding and minting UX for users and more possibility for dApp use cases. — Miscellaneous update. — A new flag, full_pay_to_royalty is added to NFT sale-related events, which allows the seller to optionally send all revenue to stakeholders listed in the NFT’s royalty config.

|  How I workaround “Import failed” error in Medium Hacking the “Import your story” in debugger for proper backdate. — Medium has a powerful feature that allows you to import websites you own into stories. All you need to do is to provide an URL then press Import. Check it out if you haven’t tried it before.Import story tool You might ask “Why should we use import though?”. The Medium editor is so easy to use and powerful (kudos to the editor developers) that it can handle pasting from external sources very easily. It often takes a simple copy-and-paste to post any articles from my WordPress site to Medium. However one significant difference is the “import story” feature parses the published date and canonical link of the original website, then sets them accordingly in the Medium story. On the other hand, you cannot change the published date of any manually pasted story. The published date would be set as the time you post the pasted story in Medium. Backdating the published date is an important issue when you are trying to sync articles in batches from existing websites to a Medium publication. You don’t want to bomb subscribers with notifications of stories that are months old, or flood the publication page with post from 2022. So when I see this error when importing posts from our WordPress site, I know I am screwed.Import error with no useful message There is no useful error message as in why the import failed.

|  Liker.Social — Unleash the Power of Your toots with NFTs Liker.Social — Unleash the Power of Your toots with NFTs - — Liker.Social supports Publishing Writing NFT - Due to Liker.Social’s emergency appeal, we revisited at the team’s operational announcement issued in May 2021 again and realized that this small paradise has been operating for nearly two years. With the support of the wancat and then the team’s continuous efforts, Liker.Social has grown to become the Mastodon instance with the second-highest traffic under the Mastodon official server. Mastodon is a free and open-source decentralized distributed micro-blogging social network. Liker.Social is built on Mastodon. However, in addition to sowing and cultivating, a good field also needs irrigation. In reality, operating costs cannot be earned solely through photosynthesis. The team’s request is also very humble: a monthly target of $100 would suffice. With thousands of users sharing the cost, each person would only need to pay a few cents. Liker.Social is particularly worthy of strong support from Likers. It is the only Mastodon that supports tipping with Likes, and it has recently further supported the issuance of Writing NFTs. If we say that Liker.Social is the world’s first Mastodon that supports NFTs, it is not an exaggeration, and early users who have contributed to the platform’s growth can feel proud. Liker.Social is also a validator of the LikeCoin chain, participating in the review of prop...

 | Top 2 Under The Radar Altcoins That Could Do A 70000% Run Like Kaspa (KA...
Anyone paying attention to the crypto industry and altcoins in the last few months will have noticed the incredible run that the Kaspa native token, KAS, went on. When all was said and done, the token’s price had risen over 70000% from its all-time low of $0.0001699 which was recorded on June 1, 2022, according to data from Coinmarketcap.
Given that the KAS token has risen so much, all eyes are now on the next coin that could replicate this growth. With thousands of altcoins in the space to pick from, with many of them being scams, it can be daunting to know which coins have the potential for such a rally. So in this report, we take a look at two altcoins that could potentially go the way of KAS and secure massive gains for investors.
Geeq (GEEQ) Leads Low Cap Altcoins With Utility
Geeq (GEEQ) was one of the many altcoins that burst into the scene back in 2020 as the bull market took flight. In the same year, the token would hit a new all-time high. But perhaps the most alluring part of the project was the many utilities that followed suit.
As X (formerly Twitter) user Dexter lists out, GEEQ has a host of things that contribute to a bullish narrative. These include patented technology, its own payment service called GEEQ Pay, GEEQ Data, the GEEQ chain, the Internet of Things (IoT), supply chain, real-world assets (RWAs), etc.

|  | Is This the Bull Market? Bitcoin Spark Investment Numbers Certainly Look...
A scrutiny of recent developments in investment trends suggests a significant surge in trading activity, prompting many to examine the indicators that could potentially define the current market sentiment.
The compelling numbers and events point towards heightened investor interest and institutional involvement and offer insights into the possibility of a bullish trajectory for the cryptocurrency.
Rising Bitcoin: Is It a Bull Market?
The question of whether Bitcoin is amidst a bullish market has become a focal point of discussions. Going by recent developments in Bitcoin investment trends, a significant surge in Bitcoin price is evident, prompting many to conclude that a bullish run may indeed be starting.
The digital financial frontier and the data surrounding Bitcoin investments present a captivating narrative that invites scrutiny and analysis. As a gauge to test the general cryptocurrency sentiment, Bitcoin price indicators, buoyed by Bitcoin Spark’s ICO completion, point to a bullish period.
Bitcoin Spark (BTCS)
Bitcoin Spark, a BTC alternative, has been making waves in its ICO after debuting at $1.50, giving early investors guaranteed 800% returns on their investments, if the presale ends successfully and they decide to sell at launch. Its current ICO phase ten offers BTCS at a price of $3.75, with a 4% bonus. The performance and more expectations of BTCS fuel an activity setting off the bull run as investors await the launch at $10 on November 30. A BTCS audit an...

|  | XRP Price Coulds Repeat Legendary 61,000% Surge Like 2017, Analyst Claim...
Prominent crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK has given his thoughts on whether or not the XRP price can replicate the notable 61,000% gain it enjoyed back in 2017. Although the analyst sounded uncertain about how things could pan out, he provided insight as to what the future holds for XRP.
XRP Price Repeating 61,000% Move Will Be Harder
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) platform, CryptoInsightUK highlighted how XRP exploded in 2017. The crypto token is said to have seen a 61,000% gain in 280 days. As to whether a repeat can happen, he mentioned that it would be harder as the market cap would have to be huge. He didn’t rule it out, though, as it would be possible with “real-world utility.”
The crypto analyst seemed to be more focused on talking about the XRP price potential rather than talking about how high the token could rise. He alluded to the hate that XRP receives and how when people feel such a way, there is probably “value” in that asset. He also highlighted other factors that make the token stand out.
CryptoInsightUK mentioned that “XRP has had another 3 years of consolidation to most other cryptos.” This places the token on a higher pedestal as it bounded to enjoy greater expansion from a technical analysis angle.
The analyst also spoke about how XRP is the only crypto token that has overtaken ETH in market cap on more than one occasion. On one of them, it enjoyed about 20% market share in the total crypto marke...

As the cryptocurrency market sails smoothly at a valuation of $1.4 trillion, bitcoin and ethereum have stabilized, mostly moving sideways. Yet, a handful of virtual currencies enjoyed robust gains on Monday, with memecoin (MEME) soaring 44.28%, leading the charge as the week kicked off. Conversely, the digital asset ark (ARK) experienced a significant setback, declining 17.5% versus the U.S. dollar over the last day.Memecoin Rallies Sharply in a Mixed Day for Cryptocurrencies as ARK Tumbles
This Monday dawned with nine cryptocurrencies achieving notable double-digit spikes in the early trading hours. Topping the list was memecoin (MEME), which climbed 44.28% against the dollar. Celestia (TIA) also made impressive strides, surging 29.25% against the greenback within the same timeframe. Not far behind, zrx (0X) and worldcoin (WLD) rose by 19.36% and 18.81%, respectively.
Currently, the day's cumulative global trading volume has hit $64.04 billion, spread over 929 trading platforms and a sprawling ecosystem of over 10,000 virtual currencies. Among those making headlines for gains on Monday were filecoin (FIL), escalating 14.96%, and osmosis (OSMO), which appreciated by 12.5% within the past day. Other significant risers of the day include KUJI, YFI, FLOKI, and SNT.
Topping today's downturns is ark (ARK), with a 17.5% slide over 24 hours, while rollbit (RLB) diminished by 12.03%. Both ARK and RLB were Monday's biggest losers against the greenback.

|  | New Biden Rule Could Affect AI Cryptocurrencies Like GRT, AGIX, FET (Opi...
The new rules require companies to conduct AI safety tests and share the results with the US government. In addition, they include meeting official standards for safe AI development and clearly labeling AI-generated content. That's worth avoiding a Skynet or Omni Consumer Products fiasco.
White House Issues New Rules for AI
A fact sheet released by the White House briefing room notes:
'AI can bring real benefits to consumers—for example, by making products better, cheaper, and more widely available. But AI also raises the risk of injuring, misleading, or otherwise harming Americans.'
Here's how the government's new regulations for artificial intelligence developers could affect the cryptocurrency industry. But also, here's how cryptocurrencies can help support the government's priorities.
Increased Regulatory Costs for AI Blockchains
The new reporting requirements in Biden's executive order are apt to add costs for AI cryptocurrencies. However they pan out, blockchains that utilize AI will have to take on the additional time and cost burden of staying in compliance.
But that doesn't mean bootstrapped startups will be overburdened. The White House release on the new executive order specifies that it's 'developers of the most powerful AI systems' that must 'share their safety test results and other critical information with the U.S. government.'
Ostensibly, by the time an AI blockchain reaches a critical threshold of capability to fall under this requirement, the project ...

|  | Is Fantom (FTM) About To Explode Like Solana (SOL)? This Analyst Thinks ...
FTM, the native currency of the Fantom ecosystem, might be the next coin to follow and perhaps outperform Solana (SOL). This optimistic preview is by one technical analyst, 'Magnate,' who, in an X post on October 3, said traders who missed the SOL rally may have a chance with FTM.
Solana Is Exploding: Reverses Post-FTX Losses
At press time, SOL is trading at new 2023 highs and has reversed all post-FTX losses. Changing hands at $39 as of writing on November 3, the SOL uptrend remains, looking at the candlestick arrangement in the daily chart. Specifically, SOL is up 125% from September lows and 190% from June 2023 highs.
At this pace, SOL has outpaced Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), two of the world's largest cryptocurrencies. This is despite Bitcoin, buoyed by the broader crypto's optimism of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the coming weeks. The general confidence is despite the SEC laying out a potential timeframe for when this product will go live.
Looking at the SOL daily chart, primary support is around the November 2022 high at around $36-a key reaction line traders are closely monitoring. As it is, there has been a cool-off, but traders are confident of a pullback, pushing the coin back higher in a bullish breakout formation.

|  | Bitcoin Price Could Skyrocket Like In March If This Happens: Expert
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Ram Ahluwalia, the CEO of Lumida Wealth, weighed in on the potential market impacts on Bitcoin, particularly highlighting the significance of a failed Treasury auction. Lumida Wealth, recognized as an SEC registered investment advisor, is known for its specialization in alternative investments and digital assets.
Ahluwalia's tweet emphasized the need to monitor Bitcoin's response to specific macroeconomic events. He stated, 'The test for Bitcoin as a macro asset will be ‘What happens if there is a failed Treasury auction?’ This year, Bitcoin rallied during (1) the March bank failures and (2) as Treasury rates have rattled markets. Here is the third test …”
Will Bitcoin See Another 50%+ Rally? To recall, Bitcoin's price shot up by over 55% in the aftermath of the US banking crisis earlier this year. On March 10, 2023, the Silicon Valley Bank's unprecedented collapse, attributed to a bank run coupled with a capital crisis, became a focal point of the broader 2023 United States banking crisis. This saw a domino effect with multiple small to mid-sized US banks falling within a span of five days. While the global banking sector stocks plummeted, Bitcoin experienced a substantial surge in its value.
More recently, Bitcoin is rallying even as treasury rates continue to unsettle global markets. With the 10-year US Treasury yield crossing the 5% mark for the first time in 16 years, there are indications of rising inte...

Global asset management firm Alliancebernstein's research arm expects the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve its first spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in early January 2024. Noting that the regulator 'has been actively responding with edits/comments on the ETF applications,' the firm's analysts said: 'The probability of an approval by the Jan. 10 due date looks highly likely.'Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval 'Highly Likely' in January
Bernstein Research, a subsidiary of global asset management firm Alliancebernstein, expects the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve its first spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in January next year. A memo from Bernstein Research sent to Thestreetcrypto reads:
A bitcoin ETF in early Jan is now looking like a 'done deal.'
The memo explains that the market was waiting to see if the SEC would “appeal against the Grayscale verdict.” The largest crypto asset manager, Grayscale Investments, is seeking to convert its bitcoin trust (GBTC) into a spot bitcoin ETF. The SEC initially rejected the application but the court later ruled in favor of the crypto firm and ordered the securities regulator to reevaluate its application.
“Now that SEC has chosen not to appeal, and actually, has been actively responding with edits/comments on the ETF applications, the probability of an approval by the Jan. 10 due date looks highly likely,” the Bernstein Research memo details.
According to SEC C...

|  | Bitcoin Price Poised For Another Surge Like Last Week: Here's Why
In a recent statement via X (formerly Twitter), Alex Thorn, head of firm wide research at digital asset firm Galaxy, highlighted the potential for another Bitcoin gamma squeeze similar to the one witnessed last week. BTC gained 15% last week. He remarked, “The Bitcoin gamma squeeze from last week could happen again. If BTCUSD moves higher to $35,750-36k, options dealers will need to buy $20m in spot BTC for every 1% upside move, which could cause explosiveness if we begin to move up towards those levels.”
Elaborating on the mechanics, Thorn explained the behavior of dealers in relation to gamma and delta. “When dealers are short gamma and price moves up, or when they are long gamma and price moves down, they need to buy spot to stay delta neutral. Last week’s expiries will dampen potential explosiveness, but it’s still in play.” This essentially means that the actions of options dealers, driven by the need to maintain a neutral position, can amplify price movements.
Will Bitcoin Price Rally Like Last Week? Thorn also emphasized the importance of on-chain data in understanding these dynamics. He mentioned a continued divergence between the supply held by long-term holders and the supply that has moved in less than 24 hours. This divergence, which has been growing over the past year, indicates a decline in on-chain liquidity, suggesting that long-term holders are not selling their holdings, potentially leading to a supply squeeze.

|  | Hot New Meme Coin to Explode – 3 Reasons Meme Kombat Could 3X Like...
Investors seeking the next high-potential meme coin will be pleased to discover Meme Kombat ($MK), a new presale project that blends memes, gamble-fi, and staking for an immersive experience.
Meme Kombat ($MK) launched on 25 September but has already grabbed the attention of the meme coin community and several renowned analysts, having raised $230K so far. Its early promising signs could mean we are witnessing the early stages of the next meme coin phenomenon.
Its early success and fresh and innovative approach have led some pundits to draw comparisons with Wall Street Memes, the most trending presale meme coin of the year, which saw a 3x price increase after launching. Here are three reasons Meme Kombat could be the next meme coin to explode.
Lucrative 112% Staking Rewards and Robust Tokenomics Hint Long-Term Potential
One of the most impressive features setting Meme Kombat apart from other meme coins is its ingenious tokenomics engineered for long-term potential.
50% of the $MK tokens will be available at the presale, with 10% allocated to exchange liquidity, 10% to community rewards, and 30% to staking rewards.
This means the project will be 100% community-owned and decentralized, helping foster a long-term community and stabilize its price.
Regarding its staking mechanism, $MK holders can deposit their tokens in the Meme Kombat platform to earn a generous 112% annual percentage yield (APY). Additionally, platform users are required to stake tokens to access its features....

|  | Meta AI Assistant Launches to Compete With Chatbots Like Chatgpt
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, launched its own chatbot based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Meta AI provides an alternative to products like Openai’s Chatgpt and is setting out to offer interaction tailored to attend to different interests and solve specific tasks. Zuckerberg Unveils Meta AI Chatbot, AI Personas at Meta Connect Event
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of the U.S. tech giant’s new AI-powered assistant in a keynote speech at the Meta Connect developers conference on Wednesday. The chatbot will compete against the already established player in the space, Chatgpt, and other offerings like Google’s upcoming Gemini.
It became clear from Zuckerberg’s presentation that Meta’s approach to the development of AI differs from the rest of the industry in that the company does not believe in a “singular superintelligence” for everyone. In its view, most people would rather have a number of AIs for different purposes or even make their own. He elaborated:
We are building a platform for creating AIs that can help you get things done or just have fun. People will be able to interact with these AIs across the whole Meta universe of products.
Meta aims to enable users to chat in its messaging services like Whatsapp and Messenger with the AIs that will also have profiles on Instagram and Facebook to offer even richer interaction. While the platform will be opened up for developers t...

|  | Traders Are Buying Bitcoin Minetrix Penny Crypto At $0.011 – Can I...
Cryptocurrency traders are buzzing about a new penny crypto being touted for huge growth – Bitcoin Minetrix (BTCMTX).
With the presale price set at just $0.011, speculative buyers are stocking up, hoping Bitcoin Minetrix (BTCMTX) can replicate Bitcoin’s colossal rise to over $30,000.
But does this cut-price crypto have what it takes to deliver life-changing returns for early backers?
Bitcoin Minetrix Seeks to Democratize Crypto Mining Through Stake-to-Mine
Bitcoin Minetrix has a bold vision to open the crypto mining sector to everyday investors.
The project's development team aims to achieve this through an innovative tokenized cloud mining platform – the first of its kind in the crypto market.
At its core, Bitcoin Minetrix allows users to purchase and stake BTCMTX tokens to earn non-tradable credits.
As outlined in the project’s whitepaper, these credits can then be burned for cloud mining time – providing a clear alternative to traditional cloud mining services, which have been plagued by a lack of transparency.
Moreover, by leveraging Bitcoin Minetrix’s services, users can mine Bitcoin without purchasing advanced (and expensive) mining hardware.
Importantly, each user’s mining operations are managed through an easy-to-use dashboard, ensuring that Bitcoin Minetrix is accessible to all investors, regardless of their experience level.
All in all, Bitcoin Minetrix seeks to bring the possibility of mining Bitcoin into reach for regular...

|  | Bitcoin Spark: It's Time To Stop Buying Memecoins Like Dogecoin And Shib...
The cryptocurrency space is always filled with buzz and excitement, often driven by investment opportunities. The memecoin era of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu increased this buzz and excitement. These meme coins gained attention, and one question gets on our screens regularly: Is Dogecoin a good investment?
In this piece, we will examine this subject and a fascinating alternative, Bitcoin Spark (BTCS), which wants to change the mining scene.
The Dangers of Memecoins
Meme coins frequently capture people's interest, particularly that of investors, due to their amusing branding, celebrity support, and promises of enormous profit. The beauty of meme coins lies in their accessibility and potential for significant gains.
They are not expensive, making them a good choice for beginner investors. The buzz it creates around social media is enough to make you get the FOMO (Fear of Missing out) effect, luring more investors into the memecoin world.
But here is the catch: meme coins like Dogecoin lack primary value. They were made as jokes and did not offer any form of utility or purpose like established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Spark and Ethereum. Investing in meme coins is not a friendly ride; you'll experience wild price swings and constant uncertainty about their price.
Here's an alternative to meme coins: a new player in the block set to stir up waves and transform the blockchain space.
Bitcoin Spark: A Game-Changing Alternative
Bitcoin Spark (BTCS) is a notable hard fork that uses t...

|  | US Lawmaker: Americans Don't Need CBDC That Can Track Purchases Like Chi...
Several lawmakers have expressed concerns about the privacy risks of the Federal Reserve issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). 'Americans have a right to financial privacy,' one congressman said, emphasizing: “We do not need a CBDC that can track your purchases like China does with their digital yuan.” Another noted: 'CBDC is to sound money what dictatorship is to freedom.''Americans Have a Right to Financial Privacy'
Multiple U.S. lawmakers have warned against the issuance of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) by the Federal Reserve. Congressman French Hill (R-AR), chairman of Congress' Digital Assets Subcommittee, wrote on social media platform X on Wednesday:
Americans have a right to financial privacy. We do not need a CBDC that can track your purchases like China does with their digital yuan.
“The authority rests with Congress, not unelected bureaucrats, to create and implement a CBDC. And that’s non-partisan,” the lawmaker stressed.
The congressman has been a vocal critic of the Federal Reserve potentially issuing a CBDC. 'I understand why Americans are concerned about CBDCs and the potential for a Big-Brother-like surveillance state. I share these concerns. It is a priority of mine to make sure the federal government cannot and does not proceed with issuing a CBDC without Congressional approval,' Hill stated in October last year.
The lawmaker introduced HR 3506, the 21st Century Dollar Act, in 2021 'to make sure U.S. governme...

|  | Experts Tip Bitcoin Cash and New Cryptocurrencies Like Sonik Coin to Out...
One of the best-performing crypto assets following the news of Grayscale beating the SEC, alongside the daily pumps of new meme coins on Uniswap, was Bitcoin Cash.
Now back in the limelight after its explosive rally in June, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was helped along in August by some of the largest and most respected crypto Twitter accounts noticing it.
Bitcoin Cash Price Predictions From Experts
Hsaka (@HsakaTrades) tweeted to his over 450,000 followers that only a ‘handful of coins’ were outperforming BTC post the Grayscale news. He added a Bitcoin Cash price chart and joked, ‘I like big blocks, and I cannot lie.’
He also retweeted the automated account biggreendildo (@biggreendildo1), which noted that the BCH daily candle was larger than that of BTC, at 16%.
$BCH ended up closing the day up 18%, trading as high as $228. At the time of writing, the BCH price has pulled back to just under $220.
Hsaka didn’t give a specific Bitcoin Cash price prediction but noted back in June that Bitcoin Cash is becoming tradeable on every new ‘TradFi related crypto offering (funds, trusts, indices)’ in 2023, such as EDX exchange which recently started operations and is backed by Citadel Securities, Fidelity and Schwab.
@CryptoKaleo, who has close to 600,000 followers, also posted a long setup for Bitcoin Cash just prior to the Grayscale pump, predicting it will break out of its current short-term retracement and set new highs above its July highs of almo...

|  | Bitcoin Bull Market 2025: 3 Reasons Why It Won't Be Like 2017 And 2021
In a recent tweet, Luke Mikic, a renowned podcaster and YouTuber, highlighted the distinct differences between the upcoming 2025 Bitcoin bull market and its predecessors in 2017 and 2021. Drawing from his insights and the data available, here's a deep dive into the three reasons that set the 2025 bull market apart:
1. The Hash Rate Race: Nation States Enter the Fray
'The Bitcoin hash rate is going absolutely parabolic, smashing through 400TH/s & another ATH!' Mikic exclaimed. Indeed, the Bitcoin network hash rate recently achieved a record-breaking 414 EH/s, marking an 80% surge over the last 12 months. This growth is particularly astonishing given the energy challenges in Texas and the escalating global electricity costs.
Mikic points out, 'This is the 1st bear market where the hash rate is hitting new ATHs... Is this time different?' The answer seems to be a resounding yes. Nation states are now publicly (and maybe privately) mining Bitcoin.
El Salvador and Bhutan were the pioneers, and recently, Oman joined the league. Oman's strategic move to mine Bitcoin aims to diversify its economy from oil dependence and bolster renewable energy initiatives, including flare gas mitigation. Remarkably, it is yet unknown if not more countries are already mining BTC in stealth mode without official announcement.
2. Supply Suffocation
Historically, bear markets have seen an influx of Bitcoin on exchanges. However, the current scenario paints a different picture. Mikic notes, 'In every pr...

|  | A Crash Like Amazon's? This Scenario Could Push Bitcoin Back To $10,000
Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency in the market, has experienced a significant decline since mid-August, resulting in a stagnant price within a newly formed range. This decline has occurred amidst what many believe is an extended bear market in cryptocurrency, causing concerns about the future of Bitcoin's bull cycles.
Bloomberg Intelligence's Senior Macro Strategist, Mike McGlone, has drawn attention to the current similarities between BTC's trajectory and the infamous crash of Amazon in the 2000s during the 'Dot Com Bubble.'
McGlone's analysis emphasizes the importance of learning from history and highlights the potential risks if retail investors flood the market, causing Bitcoin to become overbought.
Bitcoin Resemblance To Amazon's Crash
Bitcoin's remarkable growth potential is exemplified by its journey from trading at $1 in 2011 to its current value, representing a surge of 26,000 times. In comparison, Amazon, a prominent tech giant, achieved a 130-fold increase over a similar period, but it took approximately 25 years.
To further illustrate the parallels between Amazon and Bitcoin, during the dot-com boom in the 90s and early 2000s, Amazon capitalized on customer growth and adept capital fundraising to expand its product offerings.
Starting as an online bookstore, it rapidly evolved into a vast online retailer, connecting customers with a diverse range of products.
Amazon's valuation soared during this period, reaching over 50 times its Initi...

|  | Can PayPal's PYUSD Be Frozen In Your Wallet Like Tether's USDT?
PayPal and Paxos dominated the news cycle on Monday with the announcement of the launch of the PayPal (PYUSD) stablecoin, but concerns have been raised about the possibility of user assets being frozen in their wallets, as is the case with USDT.
Crypto Community Adverse to Paxos Wallet Freeze Feature
The PYUSD stablecoin issued by Paxos has a condition that is not too welcomed by the crypto community, which has dulled the initial excitement for the launch of the PayPal stablecoin. According to reports, Paxos, a blockchain infrastructure firm that issued the PYUSD has several centralization issues which give them a certain amount of control over user’s wallets.
Information published on its GitHub account reveals that Paxos can freeze or suspend users' wallets and transfer functions on PYUSD authorization in the case of a security threat. The Paxos freeze feature is quite similar to Tether’s USDT which is able to freeze/blacklist users' addresses involved in fraudulent activities. Additionally, Paxos can withhold users' funds and assets, as well as wipe the account clean if the law requires it.
The reactions from the crypto community were instant and not too favorable as investors' anxiety spiked at the thought of possibly losing their substantial digital assets or having their wallets on lock.
Centralization has always been a touchy subject for the crypto community as decentralized networks are often believed to be more secure and distribute cont...

|  | New Cryptocurrency to Watch: XRP20 Presale Goes Live – Will it Pum...
Although the world of cryptocurrency is undoubtedly exciting, opportunities to be part of game-changing innovations are fleeting.
However, XRP20 ($XRP20), a new ERC-20 token, has emerged as a beacon of hope for those seeking to experience the returns produced during Ripple's ($XRP) early days.
Offering cutting-edge features like deflationary burning and on-chain staking, XRP20’s recently launched presale could mark the beginning of an exciting venture.
XRP20’s Presale Offers Second Chance to Reignite $XRP Bull Run
The launch of XRP20 marks a deliberate and exciting step toward offering a unique opportunity in the low-cap crypto space.
Boasting the ERC-20 standard, XRP20 taps into the legacy of the original $XRP, aiming to provide a second chance for those who missed out on the token’s meteoric rise.
Although it bears the same name, XRP20 is a project in its own right, unaffiliated with $XRP or Ripple Labs.
This brand-new token takes advantage of Ethereum’s functionalities, ensuring accessibility and ease of use for potential buyers.
However, what truly sets XRP20 apart is its vision to reignite the passion that surrounded $XRP’s rise through the launch of an appealing presale phase.
This presale, now live, allows early investors to purchase $XRP20 tokens for just $0.000092, 30 times cheaper than $XRP’s all-time low.
Early investors can use $ETH or $USDT to purchase tokens; although with the soft cap set at just $1.85 million, there’s...

|  | Q2 2023 Seemed Like a Lost Quarter in the Crypto World: CoinMarketCap Re...
A new report by digital asset price-tracking platform CoinMarketCap revealed that the second quarter (Q2) of 2023 seemed like a lost one in the crypto world because it failed to produce groundbreaking developments.
According to a document seen by CryptoPotato, Q2 lacked strong market narratives compared to Q1, which saw developments like bitcoin price doubling, the rise of layer-2 protocols, and a more active non-fungible token (NFT) market.
A Lost Quarter
Q2, on the other hand, recorded trends like the memecoin season and the rise of BRC-20 tokens, which CoinMarketCap said was noteworthy but failed to generate the level of excitement witnessed in the previous quarter.
The first and second quarters ended with a similar global crypto market capitalization. The end of Q2 saw the total market cap at $1.17 trillion, indicating a 48% year-to-date increase, but most of that was generated in Q1.
The total spot trading volume of the top 20 crypto exchanges plunged by 36%, reaching an almost dormant state by the end of Q2. After peaking in March, the total trade volume declined to c.$523 billion per month.

Notably, the CoinMarketCap fear and greed index, which began the year at roughly 30, indicating fear, ended the first half at neutral (52), showing a significant improvement in market sentiment.

|  | This Is Why Robert Kiyosaki Sticks With Real Assets Like Bitcoin and Gol...
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of several best-seller books, continues to display his support for bitcoin, gold, and silver above all other assets.
In his latest tweet on the matter, he praised the aforementioned three assets while warning that the rich will get richer in the wake of the US government's policies.
Sticking With BTC
The largest US stock market indexes registered some gains over the week, with the Dow jumping by over 3% and the S&P 500 by just shy of that percentage. The renowned author, businessman, and entrepreneur commented on the matter, as he believes these increases are only because of the removal of the US debt ceiling.
Recall that the world's largest economy faced a major crisis until June when President Biden signed a bill that suspended the country's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, thus avoiding the nation's first-ever default.
Kiyosaki, though, who recently predicted that BTC will tap $120,000 soon, believes the government's decision will only benefit the rich and harm America because the US national debt will increase, just like the stock market. As such, he doubled down on his support for what he referred to as 'real assets' - bitcoin, silver, and gold.
WHY is stock market taking off? Because “Debt Ceiling” removed. Means national debt to rise with stock market. Rich get richer as America gets poorer. Sad. Sticking with real money & real assets: Gold, Silver, Bitcoin.

|  | AI TalentGPT Stands Tall Against Memes Like Doge, Shiba, and Pepe
There is an evident pattern in the crypto market when it comes to Meme tokens like Doge, Shiba, and Pepe.
They all have a hype that only a few cashed on, and the rest are trying to onboard the passed bus. Unlike them, utility tokens tend to come with slower growth, less hype, but also with long-term potential.
Utility vs Meme Tokens
In the world of cryptocurrencies, the clash between utility tokens and meme tokens has captured significant attention. Meme tokens, like ike Doge, Shiba, and Pepe, characterized by their explosive but oftentimes short-lived hype, often leave investors high and dry.
On the other hand, utility tokens like AI TalentGPT (AITGPT) present a different narrative, offering real-world value and long-term potential. This article explores the presale of AI TalentGPT, delving into the advantages of utility tokens over meme tokens and how AI TalentGPT stands out as a promising solution that reshapes the crypto landscape.
In contrast, Utility tokens demonstrate a more gradual growth trajectory, characterized by lesser hype and a focus on long-term potential. Unlike Meme tokens, Utility tokens offer tangible value and real-world utility, which contributes to their sustained and meaningful development over time. This divergence in approach highlights the importance of considering the underlying value and utility of a token when assessing its long-term prospects in the crypto market.
The Lifecycle of Meme Tokens
In recent times, the cryptocurrency market has witne...

|  | Winklevoss Twins Rail Against US SEC's Anti-Crypto Stance: 'It Does Not ...
The Winklevoss twins, founders of Gemini, a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, have criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its perceived anti-crypto stance and recent enforcement actions. In a recent interview, the Winklevoss twins commented that the regulatory environment in the U.S. felt like 'third world, like Venezuela,' for builders in the crypto world.
Winklevoss Twins Against SEC: Building Crypto in the U.S. 'Feels Like Venezuela'
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, founders of Gemini, a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, have criticized the regulatory environment that crypto builders face in the country with the recent enforcement actions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In a recent interview with Balaji Srinivasan, former CTO of Coinbase, the Winklevoss twins explained the difficulties that existing regulation poses to cryptocurrency investors. They detailed that the launch of a rule-compliant cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. involved getting a state license for every state served and a money transfer license (MTL), raising the costs to enter the crypto business.
In addition, the Winklevoss twins criticized the 'regulation by enforcement' approach of the SEC, stating:
They won't tell you what you need to do to comply. They won't tell you these are the roads, they are paved, there's a speed limit... There isn't that path for people who want to comply.
Furthermore, they explained that building in crypto in the U.S...

|  | No Billion Crypto Users Without 'Wallets That Work Like Modern Technolog...
While the blockchain and decentralized finance are often touted as the future of finance, according to Binance's head of product Mayur Kamat, more people will become comfortable using these when there are crypto 'wallets that work like modern technology.' For Kamat, an early bitcoin buyer and holder, simplifying the user experience and reducing friction for existing users are some of the steps that can bring more people to decentralized finance (defi) and Web3. Blockchain and Decentralized Finance Are Not Easy for Everyday Users
Also, in his written answers to questions sent, the executive told Bitcoin.com News that the blockchain industry which is constantly innovating will attract more users if it creates crypto wallets that come embedded with 'more options and choices for our users.'
Besides making wallets more 'noob friendly,' Kamat — former product manager at the tech giant Google — suggested that when industry participants are more receptive to the user's views or feedback their businesses will also grow. When this happens the whole industry will also grow, Kamat argued.
Below are Kamat's answers to all questions sent to him via Telegram.
Bitcoin.com News (BCN): What, in your opinion, are the biggest roadblocks to the adoption of decentralized finance (defi) and Web3?Mayur Kamat (MK): We need to simplify the user journey and reduce friction for new users.

Meme coins are undoubtedly already embedded in the crypto culture as they've left their mark on the industry. Dogecoin, Shiba Inu (SHIB), and most recently - PEPE Coin have all taken the field by storm and continue to perform.
The question is - what is their future? Will they remain a prominent part of the industry or will they eventually fall into oblivion?
We decided to poke the artificial brain of ChatGPT - the popular AI-based language model that's also causing ripples in the fintech industry.
ChatGPT on the Future of Meme Coins
The AI-based chatbot doesn't like giving financial advice, and neither do we. That said, please keep in mind that none of the following should be construed as such - it's solely for entertainment and educational purposes. After all, these are the thoughts of an AI.
'Speaking' of them, ChatGPT argued that:
Meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE gained significant popularity and attention due to their association with Internet memes and viral content. These coins often rely on community-driven initiatives and social media engagement to attract users and investors. Their success is largely driven by factors such as brand recognition, celebrity endorsements, and online trends.
So far, it seems ChatGPT has it right. DOGE has Elon Musk behind it, Shiba Inu (SHIB) had the power of the trend, while PEPE Coin took the world by storm by riding the popularity of the meme Pepe the Frog.
ChatGPT argues that their future is based on multiple factors, and predict...

United States Senator Ted Cruz has said he remains 'incredibly bullish on bitcoin' which he described as the 'alpha in the crypto sphere.' According to Cruz, people are attracted to bitcoin because they see it as a hedge against inflation and also as an 'important check' against government spending. Bitcoin Is Still the 'Most Dominant'
United States Senator Ted Cruz has said he is 'incredibly bullish on bitcoin' and he still believes the 'insight that led to its creation is still extraordinary.' In his remarks at an event organized by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, Cruz insisted bitcoin is the 'alpha in the crypto sphere' because it came first and 'is the most dominant one.'
The remarks by Cruz, a Republican from Texas, came at a time when the Biden administration has upped the ante in its fight against the crypto industry. As has been reported by Bitcoin.com News since the start of 2023, U.S. officials and agencies have targeted crypto entities as part of the so-called Operation Chokepoint 2.0. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charges have ranged from illegally selling securities to American citizens to promoting these without the requisite permissions.

Bank of Russia is building a system of gateways with foreign payment networks and is now working with Turkey in this field. Russia’s monetary authority would also allow the experimental use of cryptocurrencies in foreign economic activities, its head was quoted as saying.Russia’s Central Bank ‘Actively Working’ With Turkey on New Payment Gateways
The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) is developing payment gateways with foreign payment systems and is actively working with Turkey in this area, Governor Elvira Nabiullina said at a meeting with lawmakers in the State Duma, the lower house of Russian parliament.
Russians visiting Turkey have been experiencing problems with payments since Visa and Mastercard suspended Russian operations as part of sanctions over the war in Ukraine. Starting from September last year, the Russian Mir cards are no longer accepted in a number of countries.
During that month, Turkish banks also quit processing payments with Mir after a U.S. warning that financial institutions working with CBR’s National Card Payment System, the Mir operator, risk being involved in circumventing Russia sanctions. At the time, Turkish media reported that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had suggested establishing a new payment system between the two countries.
“We have built a system of gateways between our payment systems so that we can pay. This does not work in all countries … Nevertheless, such opportunities will appear,” Nabi...
