Glassnode, the Sherlock Holmes of on-chain analytics, dropped their weekly report, and it’s a real buzzkill. 🕵️♂️ Apparently, altcoins are experiencing a “broad cooldown in speculation.” Translation: everyone’s too scared to play with leverage anymore. 😱 The metric in question? “Open Interest,” aka the total number of positions still open on derivatives exchanges. When it drops, it’s like the dance floor cleared at 9 PM. 🕺💨
Yes, strong long-term holder conviction and sustained exchange outflows suggest potential for a short-term recovery. Or, as the optimists say: “It’s just a dip, not the apocalypse.” 🙃
Bitcoin is likely to end the week under pressure, as it slips almost 6% from Thursday’s high and continues to hover under $100K. 🚀 (Because nothing says ‘I’m stable’ like hovering just below a round number.)
Map In Progress
I’m a big fan of strategy games, and the Age of Wonders series is always a solid pick on Steam. The fourth one, which came out last year, is still going strong – it’s got around 80% positive reviews right now, and SteamDB shows a lot of us are still playing it regularly. It’s awesome to see a game keep a dedicated fanbase like that!
Researchers detail a practical approach to constructing universal quantum gates within lift-connected surface codes, bringing scalable error correction closer to reality.
“A deposit is a deposit,” Hill intoned, as if reciting a mantra to ward off madness. Whether it rests in a vault or on a blockchain, it must retain its value and protections, he insisted. One imagines the FDIC as a weary monk, now tasked with insuring digital tokens instead of dusty coins. The upcoming guidance, they say, will clarify how insured tokenized deposits might function. Clarify? Perhaps. Resolve the deeper existential crisis of whether money can truly exist without a physical form? Never. For in this brave new world, even the FDIC’s $250,000 limit feels like a relic of a simpler age-or a cruel joke.
Though the technical analyses suggest a potential rebound, the gloomy economic forecasts, replete with recessionary specters and tariff-induced turmoil, cast a shadow over this optimism. One might say the global economy is less a thriving organism and more a poorly maintained Victorian clockwork. ⏳
New research reveals that the scalability of fault-tolerant quantum computing presents a significant hurdle for complex simulations, especially in the demanding field of homogeneous catalysis.
Beyond the well-known RPGs like Final Fantasy 7, Persona 5, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Diablo 2, there are truly unique games. While some may inspire sequels, these RPGs stand out as completely original experiences—either essential to play or so innovative they have to be seen to be appreciated.
