CryptocurrencyScripts serve one purpose – to give investors something to read; when they wish to. We admit that the current setup isn’t perfect for this goal, but this is a work in progress. For the ‘work’ in progress, we have spent another year working on everything we want CryptocurrencyScripts to stand for; humor, simplicity, and versatility. In general, 2023 has been another step in the right direction.
Wrapping up an impressive year, we present our annual report, as usual. We understand that our readers could have missed some significant developments, or better said, some developments we feel are ‘significant’. Now, we aren’t good with hype words, so the following updates are as plain as they can be!
Here’s how we ran through the year;
In 2023 we;
Built a community for Writers…and readers
The regular cryptocurrency investor is more interested in partnership, airdrop, and technical exploitation announcements. How-to guides come immediately after these. Lesser attention is paid to regular articles, which form the bulk of our publication, but we are glad to operate in this area, and we are assembling other writers who hold this belief too. As part of our effort to pool writers into a single community, we created the CryptocurrencyScripts medium publication. Don’t ask how we could afford the $50 annual medium membership for this feature! Just visit the Cryptocurrency Scripts Medium publication. Join a community of writers.
FYI over 700 investors read our publication every month! Rookie numbers? Nope? Thanks!
Didn’t stop writing
We are writers at heart, for the passion and the Pa$$ion. The former supersedes and this is why we keep working on the next paragraph. For cryptocurrencyScripts, external projects, and for individual media projects, we didn’t stop writing, and we are planning to change this anytime soon, even when the readers stop reading. CryptocurrencyScripts is built with words, for words.
Traded memecoins
Before you read the next words, CryptocurrencyScripts is not a fan of Memecoins. But we’d like some quick profits and memecoins are some of the quickest movers, and we mean this in both directions. So, we dabbled into a few of them; the dog-themed ones. We can’t say the same for the writers in our community, but if you are still wondering how we got $50 to pay for a Medium membership, your answer might be staring at you.
Watched the Charts
If you trade memecoins, or any digital asset, then you surely watch the charts. That’s what brings us all together. We weren’t left out, GeckoTerminal to watch memecoin charts and Coingecko to watch every other chart. DexScreener is cool too. You certainly have your picks, TradingView probably. Whichever one, the number of times you open these in a day is what sets you above others. We should be somewhere at the top of the list.
Started the Snack Talk series.
Everyone loves to shit-talk while they chew on a sugary snack. Same here! We started a series where we pick up snacks and talk about the crypto space while we eat them. Not a serious thing to do? Of course, you are right, but it’s certainly a fun thing to do, which is why we do it once in a while. The crypto space is only fun during the Bull Run, so the series is a bit slow. If the bull season eventually returns we can drop these things faster.
Closing up; We are gradually drawing the curtains on another rewarding year and are even more inspired to do better next year! If there is anything we are most proud of, it is the fact that you are reading these words and probably enjoying them. We are growing as fast as we can, organically, and we want our readers and followers to be made up of people who are interested in reading more from us. Remember to hit the follow button if this is you.
We are all in support of a well-regulated crypto space, but the regulators should at least get the pronunciation right for the firm they are prosecuting. Well, maybe we’ve all been pronouncing it the wrong way. The memecoin peddlers are already having a field day with that one and that’s fine, a few 10x on those BENANCE coins wouldn’t hurt…before they pull the rug.
4.3 billion cheese in the pocket, you can see the idea behind the title now. The SEC could run solely on the money made from crypto firms in the past three years. Can’t lie, the whole space needs to be tightened up, it is currently loose. But I suggest that Mr. Logan should at least give back some of the money he made from that sports drink stuff to the guys he ran away with their cheese for some NFTs that never came to life.
A silver lining; Bitcoin rose past the $30k area and Ethereum breached the $2,000 level. Even though I don’t have much of those, some altcoins have seen a few gains too. Wondering how I could afford another snack? You have your answer now. I had the opinion that bull runs were fueled by greed and hype, this one could be fueled by conspiracy theories. The Bitcoin ETFs are taking quite some time to go live, the real problem is… every cryptocurrency appears to be getting a Blackrock ETF too. Solana, XRP, PEPE. If you believe the XRP part, you should believe the part PEPE too.
Memcoins should find a way to include an ETF in their ‘utility’ list, but if “they got rid of CZ to pave the way for an industry-controlled Bitcoin” then these ETFs should pack more punch than we expect. Since we are all here for the money, this should be good news, right? No? Have fun explaining the ‘satoshi vision’ to the regular investor who just wants his altcoin to go 5X.
If you want proof that a good percentage of ‘cutting-edge decentralized AI projects’ is just an extension of ChatGPT, the price movements of these projects in response to the hide-and-seek at OpenAI is your best proof. Sack, re-employ; turns out these jobs are more secure than we thought. For whatever reason these guys sacked Altman; the employee movement sufficed…they probably had a hard time understanding Sam’s codes though.
The AI team at X launched a more vicious ChatGPT – GROK. There are more chances that you saw that name first in the Memecoin market. But yeah, crypto always moves first. If there is anything I’m convinced about in the coming bull run, it is that AI coins are going to run to show.
Gensler believes in the possibility of rebooting FTX Exchange. Associated tokens have since gone haywire, and if FTX gets rebooted, the next on the list should be Luna. USTC might already be trading around $0.1 by the time you get to read this article. Still, a long way to go for a dollar-pegged coin, but in this space, ‘never say never’. FTX, Luna, Voyager, Celsius…the list is long, but, one after the other.
I’m revealing the snack of the day for the first time; since everyone is getting cheese, it’s just reasonable to get a cheesecake, and Sprite. Unlike the guy behind the KyberSwap exploit, a handful of snacks could get us ‘fully rested’ in a short while. The Poloniex hacker and the SIM swap guys made the list of ‘cheese getters’ too. Guess the whole space is just about people getting cheese.
Bankman Fried and other FTX guys will learn their fate soon, I will have to drop the pen here and return whenever we have definite news. But if Bitcoin crosses $40,000, then we might be back sooner than expected. Gone past the 600-word point too. Just in case you read up to this point; see you next time…guys! And hit the FOLLOW button!
I could draw a couple of TA charts to prove that a token is about to go 10x in the next few hours, yeah, these things don’t happen like that most times. So, this is not what I’m about to do. But I will be sharing my pick for the next run. With bitcoin sitting above $34,000 after some impressive gains, it is expected that altcoins will follow suit, also, the Fear and Greed Index is turning green and the whole market might move again soon.
Alright, no long talks, here’s my pick – the DexCheck token. I did a guide on how to use the Telegram bots in the DexCheck ecosystem a while ago and it’s one you need to check out. DexCheck’s fundamentals are quite solid, an interbreed of Artificial Intelligence and Decentralized finance (DeFi). The technology is impressive as well. But on economic grounds, these are not the only reasons why I am projecting it to 3X its current price within the next three months. Note that this is not financial advice. Always do your own research.
Why DexCheck could go 3X within the next three months
DexCheck has been in consolidation for Long term
DCK token has been trading between $0.045 and $0.02 for the past three months. During this period, the daily trading volume has stayed above $200,000 on average. The strong market interest and balanced price fluctuation are strong indicators of long-term accumulation and consolidation. Despite the fact that DexCheck has made significant breakthroughs during this period, the price has remained stable around this range.
It is also interesting that the accumulation pattern followed the short-term pump in the early weeks of October 2023. The chart looks like it is headed for another uptrend. Due to the long accumulation period, this could last longer than the last two peaks. This translates to up to 300% gain in the next three months and would place the price somewhere around $0.06.
DCK token has shown built a strong support around $0.02 which is just a little above the recorded All time low. Despite intermittent drops to levels below 0.02 in the past few days, it has swiftly reclaimed the support level each time. Therefore it is very unlikely that it will drop below this level. How the rest of the market moves might affect this, but if Bitcoin remains stable and doesn’t go below $27,000 during this time, DCK could be on its route to price recovery in the last quarter of the year or early in the first quarter of 2024.
A price of $0.06 puts the whole project at an FDV of just $6 million and a total market capitalization a little below that. For a decentralized application that actually works, there is still so much room to grow at $6 million.
Dexcheck’s technological fundamentals are quite solid
I took the time to go through the features on DexCheck. It is easy to draw up a prototype but harder to develop an application that works as stated on paper. DexCheck runs as stated and the positive first impression was sustained throughout the times I used the application. From the smart contract token analytics to the trader and wallet analytics to the advanced Telegram Bot and the AI-powered InsightGPT. Each application leaves you coming back for more.
DexCheck’s Telegram bot has grown to over 2,500 active users in the past three months. This growth is continuous and is proof that other investors are buying up the idea. Even though other Telegram bots have seen significant growth as well, DexCheck seems to be catching up faster, relatively. With this growth pattern, it is striving to be a major force in the AI and trading bot narrative. AI and trading bot projects, both could experience another wave. DexCheck fits into both narratives, coupled with the current low capitalization. DexCheck is one to watch going into the last months of the year. The number of DCK token holders has also grown to over 4,800 at the time of writing, showing strong signs of adoption.
Interesting updates for DexCheck are lined up for Q4 2023!
I took a look at the DexCheck roadmap and it looks packed for the future, the last quarter of the year will surely see many exciting releases the AI-DexFolio and the AI-arbitrage scanner are some of the new features I am looking forward to. It is interesting to see how the project employs Artificial Intelligence in these two new features.
DexCheck announced a new staking pool for the DexCheck token with up to 36% APY. DCK token Holders can earn some good rewards by locking up their tokens in the pool. But this is actually the least update from the project. DexCheck has announced a handful of exciting updates.
I’m personally excited about the Initial Private Sale Offering (IPSO) feature. IPSO is a launchpad for new crypto projects powered by DexCheck. IPSO allows investors to buy into new projects before they start trading openly. This is reserved for DCK token stakers and is another way the project attempts to boost the utility of its native token. DCK holders can now invest in promising projects before anyone else and enjoy the full privileges.
The Beta version of the Smartfolio feature has also been launched and the roadmap hints at even more exciting releases in the last quarter of the year. On the technological grounds, this is good news for the project and the investors. how this affects the DCK token price depends on how the rest of the community reacts to the update, but price growth is likely if the new features work as promised.
Exciting partnerships with reputable projects
Between October, 10 and October 20, 2023, DexCheck has announced a handful of very interesting partnerships on marketing and technological grounds and doesn’t show signs of stopping any time soon! First, the marketing partnership with Kucoin Exchange is set to run for a couple of weeks. We will see the DexCheck token and project being marketed to traders on the exchange during this period of time, this could grow traders’ and users’ interest and an overall growth in the token value is not out of the line.
Apart from marketing partnerships, DexCheck has partnered with USDD to bring the stablecoin to the platform, as part of this partnership, USDD will also integrate the DexCheck trading bot into their platform. With the two projects pursuing mutual growth, we could see some benefits from this partnership. The partnership between DexCheck and Syncswap will also enable DexCheck to make an entry into the ZkSync Era network. This follows the expansion into the Binance Smart Chain.
DexCheck has also announced a partnership with InterSwap to bring more AMMs into the platform. DexCheck is growing its community by expanding into new communities. This is yielding returns in terms of adoption, it is only a matter of time before the DCK token catches up to these developments too.
Low Market cap and ALT season
The first Bitcoin ETF could be around the corner and the last quarter of the year could be the time. This is a wild guess, but has some backing to it, judging from how things have unfolded in the financial space. The recent BTC gains are majorly due to rumors around the ETF filling. If BTC continues to move we could go into a major ALT season.
Bitcoin ETF as a factor here is from the widely known “bitcoin pumps and others follow” pattern. If Bitcoin finally moves big, the DexCheck token will be one of the best-positioned assets to move even harder. The Bitcoin effect is hardly avoidable, the whole space appears to be tied to its movement and the DexCheck token isn’t different. If Bitcoin moves, DCK is the token to watch closely, this is not only due to the fundamentals (which are quite strong) but also due to the relatively ‘tiny’ market capitalization.
Over the years, small-cap and mid-cap projects have turned out to be the biggest gainers in every bull run. For a conservative guess, I’d say 300% (3X) in the short term is feasible, for an optimistic guess, we could be looking at 10X to 100X in a few months. This is however not financial advice, it is important to do your own research and apply risk-management strategies as much as possible.
Closing Thoughts.
Predicting price developments for crypto assets is tough. Fundamentals are the best bet, but this could also go south. DexCheck is being run by a dedicated team, which is one of the most important clues for investors. While the team strives to grow the project, the market could also react differently or less than expected to some new developments. However, if the market stays stable and alts get to run in the next few weeks, DexCheck is well positioned for another good run.
By holding out on its support for the past few months and printing some good volume over this time, it has spent a relatively long period of time in consolidation and could be set to move upwards with an energy higher than the last pump it had. That being said, always do your own research before investing.
The last quarter of the year is usually a dramatic one for the crypto space. One to look up to. I’ve been going through the assets in my portfolio and also looking into other assets and applying analytics to estimate their different potential going into the last weeks of the year. I’m personally not so much into TA analysis, fundamentals have consistently proven to be the most trustworthy metrics, especially for prolonged periods, say 4 weeks or more.
The whole year is setting up the tone for a green 2024, the whole market has been in consolidation for the majority of the year, and with so much silently bullish news coming up in the past few months, even the last months of the year looks promising.
My biggest bet for Q4 is the DexCheck token. Surprisingly, I got into DexCheck just last week, and have been doing deeper research on the whole project. I will be surely writing more about it in the coming weeks as I learn more. Apart from the technology, which is pretty solid, I’m looking at the potential of DCK, the project’s native token.
DexCheck token is at the heart of the DexCheck project and is positioned to grow even faster than the project itself. DexCheck token currently trades at $0.022 per token, the whole project is valued at just $3 million. For such utility, these figures might not last for so long.
Looking at the fundaments, these are some of the reasons why DexCheck token is set for an uptrend in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024;
Long-term Consolidation
DCK has been trading between $0.04 and $0.02 for the past three months. During this period, the daily trading volume has stayed above $150,000 on average. The strong market interest and balanced price fluctuation are strong indicators of long-term accumulation. Despite the project making significant breakthroughs during this period, the price has remained stable around this range. An interesting part is the accumulation pattern that has followed the short-term pump in the early weeks of October 2023. The charts look to be headed for another uptrend. Due to the long accumulation period, this could last longer than the last two peaks. This translates to up to 100% gain in the next three months.
DCK has shown built a strong support around $0.02 which is just a little above the recorded ATL, it is very unlikely that it will drop below this level. How the rest of the market moves might affect this, but if Bitcoin remains stable and doesn’t go below $27,000 during this time, DCK could be on its route to price recovery in the last quarter of the year or early in the first quarter of 2024. A price of $0.05 puts the whole project at an FDV of just $5 million and a total market capitalization a little below that. For a decentralized application that actually works, there is still so much room to grow at $5 million.
New Updates coming to the platform
DexCheck announced a new staking pool for the DexCheck token with up to 36% APY. DCK token Holders can earn some good rewards by locking up their tokens in the pool. But this is actually the least update from the project. DexCheck has announced a handful of exciting updates.

On the technological grounds, this is good news for the project and the investors. how this affects the DCK token price depends on how the rest of the community reacts to the update, but price growth is likely if the new features work as promised.
The AI and Trading bot narrative
AI-powered trading utilities made the headlines in the mid-quarters of the year. Some notable ones include Unibot, PAAL AI, and for a shorter term, DexCheck. DexCheck token, unfortunately, gained pace when the wave already started settling down. But this is normal in the crypto space, every trend gains an initial wave, settles down, and returns with an even bigger wave. We have witnessed the first wave of AI and messaging-app trading bots. But while the wave appears to be settling down in terms of the price of these projects’ tokens, the technology is actually growing and even more people are embracing the technology.
DexCheck’s Telegram bot has grown to over 2,500 active users in the past three months. This growth is continuous. Other Telegram bots have seen significant growth as well, but DexCheck seems to be catching up faster, relatively. With this growth pattern across AI and trading bot projects, both could experience another wave. DexCheck fits into both narratives, coupled with the current low capitalization, this is one to watch going into the last months of the year. The number of DCK token holders has also grown to over 4,800 at the time of writing, showing strong signs of adoption.

Bitcoin ETF
A fake Bitcoin ETF approval news caused a rapid price jerk throughout the crypto market earlier this week. Even though this didn’t turn out how every crypto investor wanted it, the price movement is a micro show of what could happen when the first Bitcoin ETF gets approved. How the news unrolled is yet to be fully diagnosed, but from developments around the ETF fillings, the first Bitcoin ETF could be around the corner, the last quarter of the year could be the time. This is a wild guess, but has some backing to it, judging from how things have unfolded in the financial space.
Bitcoin ETF as a factor here is from the widely known “bitcoin pumps and others follow” pattern. If Bitcoin finally moves big, the DexCheck token will be one of the best-positioned assets to move even harder. The Bitcoin effect is hardly avoidable, the whole space appears to be tied to its movement and the DexCheck token isn’t different. If Bitcoin moves, DCK is the token to watch closely.
Final Thoughts
There is a lot on the line for the DexCheck project, and its utility token is certainly not being left out. To get the best out of the platform, the DexCheck token is a must-have, the tokenomics is in the best interest of the investors. The market usually moves toward the real builders and the team has been working hard behind and on the scene.
However, Predicting price developments for crypto assets is tough. Fundamentals are the best bet, but this could also go south. DexCheck is being run by a dedicated team, which is one of the most important clues for investors. While the team strives to grow the project, the market could also react differently or less than expected to some new developments. That being said, always do your own research before investing.
Hey guys! Yeah…’guys’ does really sound chauvinistic but I’m sure everyone understands. Anyways, shitposting isn’t really my thing and this ‘Snack talk’ thing is a literal shitpost. Like two beer lovers discussing their favorite brand, a better example is two memecoin investors discussing the ‘utility’ of their cat-themed memecoins. Cat-themed memecoins don’t really do so well, relative to the doggy ones, but I get it…we all do.
Alright, I named this one ‘The Gobsmacked’ and I must say I’m gobsmacked by a lot of things. First, uptober doesn’t seem to be turning out great and the charts are looking like it’s Halloween already. Someone played MJ’s thriller on the bus today. Noisy, but that’s exactly what the whole market sounds like. I could go on with the second but if the charts continue this way then Christmas might be in jeopardy. But it doesn’t matter, we are here for the technology anyway. I said ‘we’ like we are not all waiting for the next earndrop so we can ‘cash out’.
Speaking about earndrops, I did claim a few $TIA from the Celestia airdrop. You can check your eligibility here too. Celestia is working on a couple of things that could become useful for the whole space. A bit excited to hold a (little) stake. Anyway, that’s it with the brief commercial.
JP Morgan just launched a tokenized collateral network, that should come second on my list but, then, these guys have been all around crypto and always trying to come in in their own way. Not sure this is the best way to make a dive into the space, but maybe I’m overreacting to an asset-creation platform.
By the way, if you’ve been following the court hearing for SBF and the FTX guys, you should be astonished…’ gobsmack’ is the word of the day. I forgot. Couple of impressive incomes in those lists from Caroline. Not sure which is more lucrative, Sports, Music, or running a crypto-trading platform. If every exchange operator earns that much, then the latter wins, hand-off. If you haven’t been paying attention, this is the second one on my list.
The third one? This snack of course! I wouldn’t be here after 70 days to write another snack-time talk story if I didn’t find a befitting snack. No need to dwell on that, I came across the whitepaper for BitVM. The Bitcoin blockchain could run smart contracts in the near future. Safe to say that even Bitcoin now copies Ethereum. No jokes on the team working on this impressive development, just saying that Bitcoin has spent a majority of its lifetime being compared to Gold. If it finally turns into another virtual machine, then it will spend another decade being compared to Solana, Taraxa, and Polygon, I left out Fantom…another cool EVM network! But technology is about finding out, sorry, that’s science. Never mind, I own up to that statement.
Deploying memecoins on the Bitcoin network would have been historic, but BRC-20 tokens already did that and suddenly no one talks about them. Not sure why they faded so quickly. Big guess, The Bitcoin blockchain was built to support P2P BITCOIN transfers and not inscriptions. Ethereum and all of its offspring were built for this. And if you think Bitcoin running smart contracts will kill off other smart contract blockchains, just remember the same was said about BRC-20. Too early to call it, but this is where we are headed.
I would have loved to put a word out for everyone getting a 10% refund on their failed NFT investments but I never got a refund from the handful of rug-pulls myself and other memecoin investors had to go through. So, if Logan Paul finally sends your 10% Cryptozoo investment back to you, then you should consider buying a good snack and some Sprite. Project literally sound like a straight scam, but that’s how most rugpulls sound. Cool name projects pull the rug equally, don’t judge a book by its cover, this doesn’t apply to your Algebra textbooks though.
Time to drop the keyboard, just took the last bite and it is not certain when the next snack talk stuff will drop. Judging from the current trend, Q1 2024 is very likely. Maybe Bitcoin will be back above $30K then. If the ETFs finally land, then sure, we can be positive. Yeah, that’s it …guys.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, one name stands out as both an enigma and a legend: Satoshi Nakamoto. The pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Nakamoto’s true identity remains one of the most captivating mysteries of the digital age. In this article, we’ll delve into the story of Satoshi Nakamoto, exploring the origins of Bitcoin and the enduring intrigue surrounding this elusive figure.
# The Birth of Bitcoin:
In October 2008, a whitepaper titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” appeared on a cryptography mailing list. This whitepaper, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, outlined a revolutionary concept—a decentralized digital currency that would operate on a peer-to-peer network, free from the control of any central authority. Nakamoto’s vision was to create a system that allowed individuals to send and receive digital payments without relying on intermediaries like banks or payment processors.
Nakamoto’s invention addressed the double-spending problem that had plagued previous attempts at digital currency. Through a clever use of blockchain technology—a decentralized ledger that records all Bitcoin transactions—Nakamoto ensured that each unit of cryptocurrency could not be duplicated or spent more than once. This innovation paved the way for the creation of a digital currency that was truly scarce and secure.
*The Mystery Deepens:*
Shortly after publishing the whitepaper, Nakamoto released the Bitcoin software, and the first-ever block, known as the “genesis block,” was mined in January 2009. From that point, Nakamoto remained actively involved in the development of the Bitcoin software and community, communicating with early adopters through forums and email. However, Nakamoto was always careful to guard their true identity, communicating only through an online persona.
Despite Nakamoto’s frequent online presence, efforts to unveil their identity were fruitless. The name “Satoshi Nakamoto” was believed to be a pseudonym, and the creator’s true identity remained a closely guarded secret. Some speculated that Nakamoto was an individual, while others believed it could be a group of people working together. The mystery only deepened as Nakamoto’s involvement in the Bitcoin project gradually waned.
*Legacy of Satoshi Nakamoto:*
Regardless of Nakamoto’s identity, their creation has had an indelible impact on the world. Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold,” has become a global phenomenon, attracting both enthusiasts and critics. Its decentralized nature and limited supply have made it a store of value and a hedge against inflation, while its underlying blockchain technology has inspired countless innovations beyond cryptocurrency.
Satoshi Nakamoto’s decision to remain anonymous also had a profound effect. It allowed Bitcoin to develop organically, without a central figure to exert control or influence. This decentralized nature aligns with the core principles of cryptocurrency, emphasizing trust in code and the network rather than in individuals or institutions.
*The Quest to Unmask Satoshi:*
Over the years, many individuals and journalists have embarked on quests to uncover Nakamoto’s true identity. Some have claimed to have found the real Satoshi, but these claims have often been met with skepticism and debunked. In one instance, Newsweek published an article in 2014, identifying a man named Dorian Nakamoto as the creator of Bitcoin. However, Dorian Nakamoto denied any involvement, and the story raised more questions than answers.
As of my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021, Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity remains a mystery. Despite the tireless efforts of researchers and journalists, the true identity of the Bitcoin creator has eluded discovery.
*Conclusion:*
Satoshi Nakamoto’s creation of Bitcoin represents a watershed moment in the history of finance and technology. Whether an individual or a group, Nakamoto’s brilliant vision has reshaped the way we think about money, trust, and the power of decentralized networks. The mystery surrounding Nakamoto’s identity only adds to the intrigue and mystique of Bitcoin, ensuring that the enigmatic creator will forever be a central figure in the world of cryptocurrencies. While the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains concealed, the legacy of their invention continues to evolve and inspire innovation in the digital age.
Bitcoin maximalists used to hold on to Bitcoin as a store of value and a major contender to gold. The Ethereum community claims the top spot is well deserved for their virtual internet and computer. No pun, both are great projects, and any joke made henceforth is just for fun…I needed to put that straight.
The idea that Ethereum invented a shitcoin production factory isn’t far from the truth. The Bitcoin guys would blame smart contract tokens and institutions that promote them for spoiling the crypto space. With each memecoin season that passes, this becomes even more obvious. I’d appreciate stricter regulation in that space, but Mr. Gary Gensler has other plans. Side news, FTX is making a comeback, and the crypto space seem to have gotten over that multi-billion-dollar tragedy. Well, everyone probably made their money back by buying PEPE and BOB tokens.
Now, whatever agenda the Bitcoin community is pushing against Ethereum and the whole EVM clone space might have to stop very soon. Not even an opinion but a reality. Bitcoin influencers are on about Ordinals, and all of a sudden, NFTs are cool again. Not funny, just surprising. Even the legendary Peter Schiff is minting ordinal NFTs; it’s surprising how these tables turn. The thoughts of making some easy dollars will certainly turn anyone’s head anyway.
The BRC-20 token market is growing in headcount and dollar value. Ordi is the first; now, there are many more. For an idea that isn’t up to six months old, the space has grown into something huge. How much can you count? Even Pepe has opened up a branch in one of the oldest blockchain networks in modern times. Time isn’t an excuse in this space anymore, so it is time to query the BRC-20 space already, just like Bitcoiners query the smart contract tokens.
A quick one, apart from pumps and dumps and wash trades, what are the utilities available for BRC-20 tokens? Ok, again, apart from clogging the Bitcoin network, what other utilities? Really some bold claim, but BRC-20 have a huge shoe to fill already; the big problem is, they are working on a system that wasn’t meant for any of these.
Satoshi envisioned a tool to facilitate routine transactions between people anywhere in the world and also create a system that works for and with the people. None of these were in the plan. Inscribing on Satoshis is a stretch. The space doesn’t need another memecoin factory. There are tons already, and another ‘blockchain developer’ is in an enclosure developing another clone of the Ethereum blockchain that uses POS consensus while the airdrop hunters are waiting to hump on it, just in case there is some free governance token to be shared, like lollipops. Pun intended.
A number of brilliant smart contract projects have launched on these smart contract blockchains, and some EVM-compatible blockchain has shown great professionalism as well. Tokens on these networks have the chance to thrive since these networks were built from the onset with these extra tokens in mind. Bitcoin’s seven transactions per second speed wasn’t intended to power hundreds of extra tokens and high-quality art uploaded to the network.
How this goes in the future will be interesting to watch, but then, at the time of writing, BRC-20 tokens are showing the power of hypes and community action on price development. Exactly the same thing Shiba Inu, Pepe, and BabyDoge already proved to us… nothing new.
Now, even if you don’t agree with everything you read here, Just take a second and follow us. Our next article might appeal to you.
Arbitraging is as easy as buying from one end and selling for an assured profit on the other end because the sale point is positively ahead of the purchase point in terms of price development, or lagging as the case may be. Arbitraging is partially the reason why asset prices stay relatively the same across different markets and pairs. Manual arbitragers, arbitrage sniffing bots, and algorithms are lurking on centralized and decentralized exchanges to quickly take advantage of temporal shifts in asset values. Cyclic arbitrage is a common practice in arbitrage trading.
A number of decentralized and centralized arbitrage projects and even projects not directly related to arbitrage trading utilizes the mechanics of cyclic arbitrage to balance their trading system. Cyclic arbitrage could be a really handy theory for cryptocurrency and mainstream trading platforms, even ones that hope to develop an extra income opportunity for themselves. Here’s the basic theory of cyclic arbitrage: The arbitrage trading algorithm sniffs three different exchanges or more with a special focus on a single asset. It collates the current trading price on these exchanges and compares them with respect to their pairs. Using information garnered this way, it simultaneously trades the asset in such a way that it yields a net profit, trades might end up with a different asset, but this asset must have an instantly redeemable value that is above the starting capital.
Protocols that use (or attempt to use) this theory, develop a trading bot that automates it trading in accordance with this theory. Depending on the design of the algorithm, this process is repeated as many times as possible, wither in the same direction as long as the trade remains profitable in a different and more yielding direction.
Here’s a scenario. Say the arbitrage bot detects a difference between the trading price of MATIC on Binance and Huobi with the price on Binance lower than that on Huobi. The bot detects a third exchange (say Kucoin) on which a MATIC pair (like MATIC/FTM) trades below the market value. This bot makes a MATIC purchase on Binance and exchanges the Matic purchased on Binance for FTM on Kucoin. To complete the cycle, it sells this FTM on Huobi for MATIC and realizes more profits in MATIC.
Cyclic arbitrage accumulates the profits from arbitrage trading as opposed to regular one-directional arbitrage trading. Further applications of the cyclic arbitrage trading algorithm will reveal more details about how it works.
Well, I’m yet to put up a poll, but it’s almost certain that a majority of ‘cryptocurrency enthusiasts’ are yet to understand what cryptocurrency ETFs are. Not sure most care anyways. As long as it keeps the market green, we’re fine…I’m fine too. Pun intended.
Exchange Traded Funds are like pooled funds by users of financial institutions, Like mutual funds. But since we agreed to keep this simple, I’ll skip the details and simply attach a link where you can read up on this. Again, this whole article is limited to 500 words. Subsequent ones will grow in length if Bitcoin blows past $30,000
Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum ETFs, and maybe one for the handful of memcoins flying around. My wild guess is a DogeCoin ETF; if that fails, a PEPE ETF is my backup guess. Elon is cracking down on Twitter bots ‘powered’ by memecoins, so I will stay away from that space.
Binance’s tussle with regulatory bodies around the world was expected. I must say that the firm is handling it considerably well so far. At least relative to FTX, funds are still SAFU. The market slumped on the news, not surprising when the biggest exchange is getting served by the SEC. Mr. Gensler hasn’t been easy on this space!
But we have the ETF news to thank for keeping everyone in the market. Not a big deal, to be honest. Bitcoin traded below $17,000 this year, and the investors’ spirits weren’t damped. Oh well, it actually was, just not totally annihilated. I’d take an exception for the bears who shorted everything they could lay their hands on during this time.
Bitcoin has tumbled almost twice since this time; altcoins are still left in the dust. The market appears to be jostling towards the green lines. The ETFs are a huge factor, but is this enough to take us back to the late 2020 and early 2021 days? You have your personal opinion, and it will be cool to put them in the comments.
I’ve come across a number of Tweets analyzing how ETFs will push Bitcoin to $300,000. If that materializes, then we are 10X away from the future. Bitcoin will have to behave like a real memecoin for the first time since Peter Schiff accused it of being a memecoin. And that’s fine for me. Even Peter is inscribing and selling Bitcoin ordinals now; I guess that’s a good step to becoming a moonboy. Turns out Gold doesn’t have ordinals.
For the most serious part of this article, I’d like to opine that ETFs aren’t enough to launch us into another Bullrun, at least not before the next halving. While a Bullrun before the next halving will be very much desired, the current sell pressure on cryptocurrencies is something these analyses haven’t considered yet. And mathematics doesn’t always work in the real world. $30,000 for a bitcoin in the middle of a global financial turmoil is already a big statement, and the bears can rear their ugly heads.
But there is still a long distance to the next $5,000 pump on Bitcoin. The market is in a pullback at the time I wrote this sentence. Might change by the time I push this article to my blogs. But for now, we can expect thins to dangle between $29,000 and $32,000 for a while. Even with every institution launching an ETF for the two biggest cryptocurrencies.
Again, we blew past 500 words! You guys owe me now!
For every 10 tweets you come across on crypto Twitter, at least three try to tell you how you can position yourself to benefit from predicted airdrops from some new cryptocurrency projects. The list is inexhaustive; layer Zero, SUI network, zkSync. Alright, these tweets score quite high engagement, and cryptocurrency influencers on Twitter have found a new way to draw your attention. Just like the meme coin bubble, free drops are a booming topic in the crypto space today.
Well, if you clicked that link hoping to get a trick that qualifies you for all the airdrops at once, then I must apologize, this isn’t the article you were looking forward to and I admit that the title might have been quite misleading. I got carried away too.
The craving for the financial enrichment cryptocurrency deliver has crushed the hunger to build real decentralized solutions, ones that really work. New projects every day, each producing the same result. But I guess this has been a whole long talk since this article isn’t already telling you how to bridge to a new network, add liquidity, Perform swaps, mint an NFT, and wait for your freebies whenever the project is ready to grease the people’s palms.
Ok, here’s the ultimate guide, USE THE PRODUCT. But I guess that’s a hard thing to do, especially where there are no $500 – $10,000 worth airdrop in view. The space keeps changing and everything keeps going towards bubbles and quick money. A few years ago, the attraction point for any project is its features. The most promising projects get the attention. Ethereum, Tezos…you name them.
Contemporary projects are having it easier. Two steps, raise a couple of millions from super-rich VCs, tease a ‘community reward’ program. That’s it, you are well on your way to hitting a million users, even when your technology is nothing close to what was proposed on the WhitePaper.
If you read up till this point, then the higher chance is that you (somehow) agree with this opinion. It’s unlikely that anyone makes it to this point when this article is yet to show you proof that Polygon and Coinbase will be launching tokens for their layer-2 networks even when they already said they won’t be doing any of that. Well, you can’t trust these Web3 teams…
Even if crypto and blockchain don’t survive, there’s no doubt that they’ve enriched a few pockets and impoverished a few. If you’ve benefitted from the majority of these airdrops, you belong to the former.
Anyways, the target wordcount for this article is 500 and its almost close to that figure, but before the last full stop comes in, it is important to state that these airdrops are a good way to earn, and genuine interest in decentralized solutions is the surest way to benefit. Airdrop-hunting is good exercise. But every one of these is currently in a bubble, it’s hard to say how it will burst and it is important to tread carefully. Scam airdrops and malicious testnets are on the increase. It is important to protect yourself from these.
