“Solana is closer to Satoshi’s levels of decentralization than Ethereum. Maybe even past Satoshi at this point,” he proclaims, as if the very notion of decentralization were a mystical riddle solved by a mere keystroke.
Market expert @CyrilXBT recently shared a chart on X that compares the value of all cryptocurrencies *except* the top 10, to the value of Bitcoin. The chart currently shows a ratio of 0.129, which the expert believes is a historically significant level. This is the same price range where major surges in altcoins have begun in the past, suggesting another such surge could be coming.
The question, my dears, is: what on earth provoked this sudden nosedive? One can only imagine the drama.
On Feb. 27, just when we thought Bitcoin might finally start showing some backbone, it went from a high of $68,000 to a sad little floor of $65,500. Why? Well, apparently a little thing called “Middle Eastern tensions” (you know, Iran rejecting U.S. demands about enriched uranium) sent markets into a tailspin. Because who doesn’t love a good geopolitical crisis to spice up the day?
Its trading volume, ever the social climber, has leapt 74.74% to $3.41 million, a spectacle of participation so fervent it might make a Victorian matron swoon.
Price performance, it seems, is merely the opening act of a chaotic symphony. While the spotlight gleams on this rally, the spot market hums a darker tune, hinting that some investors are preparing for a potential nosedive. Perhaps they’ve read the script. Or perhaps they’re just paranoid.
Multinational bank Barclays (BARC) is apparently spicing up its portfolio by exploring a blockchain platform for payments, Bloomberg exclaimed on a thrilling Friday.
According to whispers in the marble halls of finance, Barclays has issued a request for information, a document as dry as a summer in the steppe, to potential suppliers. The aim? To cater to its “diverse customer base,” a phrase as vague as a foggy morning in St. Petersburg. By April, they hope to select a supplier-a deadline as ambitious as a peasant’s dream of owning a manor.
Bitcoin started the week like a toddler having a meltdown, chopping to the downside. Monday was a disaster, dropping from $67K to $64K. Then, because why not, it did a dead cat bounce and plummeted to $63K. Sentiment? Down bad. Crypto Twitter? A bunch of sad clowns. But then, miracle of miracles, Bitcoin started recovering-notably. It soared from $63K to $70K in less than two days. But of course, the bears had other plans, pushing it back down to $66K. Still in “extreme fear” according to the Fear and Greed index. Because nothing says “confidence” like a 100% chance of a bear market.
The crypto market’s latest drama? Volatility, baby! LUNC’s sprint to glory was more of a TikTok dance than a marathon. While the price briefly looked like it had a plan, the underlying metrics are throwing shade. Spoiler: It’s all about the momentum, not the substance.
