According to Coinspeaker (yes, the same folks who told you Bitcoin was going to the moon 🚀), the nearcore v2.9.0 release dropped on October 21, suggesting this calorie-cutting plan. Validators who are here for it can upgrade to Protocol Version 81, while the rebels 🦹♂️ can stay cozy in Version 80. Stake delegators? Oh, you’ve got the power to redelegate and sway this vote like a reality TV finale. 📺
According to the wise sages at CoinWarz, the Bitcoin mining Difficulty is gearing up for a positive adjustment this Wednesday. Now, what’s this “Difficulty” you ask? Well, it’s the magical spell Satoshi wove into the BTC blockchain, ensuring miners don’t have it too easy (or too hard) when digging for those digital nuggets. 🧝♂️⛏️ No meddling third parties here-just pure, unadulterated code doing its thing. Every two weeks or so, the chain tweaks this metric to keep block times steady at around 10 minutes. Because, you know, consistency is key, even in the wild west of crypto. 🕰️🔄
While chatting with Scott Melker, the Wolf of All Streets, Saylor split the industry into “digital capital” (Bitcoin as digital gold) and “digital finance” (tokenized assets), positioning Strategy’s digital credit stack as the bridge that packages Bitcoin’s capital into income products that traditional investors can actually hold. He said the mission is simple: make yield modern and make it accessible. 🤷♂️
In case you’re not keeping track of every acronym in crypto (don’t worry, neither am I), x402 is a payment protocol that allows agent-to-agent transactions without the whole “logging in with your email or password” ordeal. Masumi, the protocol’s brainchild, is throwing its hat into the ring with a demo that’s got more technical jargon than a Silicon Valley board meeting. The demo involves something called a “memecoin mint” (yep, because why not?) that’s triggered by a small payment in USDM. No, this is not the next Dogecoin, relax. It’s just a demo… or is it?)
In this age of digital gold, where Bitcoin trades near its zenith, treasury companies continue their relentless accumulation. Yet, on a fateful Tuesday, October 28, the shares of American Bitcoin faltered, falling 6% after a triumphant rally the day before. Ah, the whims of the market! One moment a hero, the next a mere mortal. 🦹♂️→🧑
On-chain metrics are dancing like a goat in a barnyard, with daily transactions pushing toward historic highs. The AihansuCrypto crew reckon Avalanche’s churning nearly 60 million transactions, a number so lofty it’d make a sky-scraper blush. Seems the subnets and dApps are throwing a party, and every validator’s invited. 🎉
“November is Bitcoin’s finest month, by all accounts,” Daan declared on X, his quill trembling with excitement. “An average November change of +46.02% across the dataset! A feat most remarkable, though slightly marred by the infamous November 2013 surge of +449.35%-a single month’s gain so vast, it could make even Mr. Darcy swoon.” He added, with a touch of irony, “The average gain is +46.02%, but this is heavily skewed by that one fateful month.”
What’s really happening? Are we about to see a chunky correction, or is this the dawn of a shiny new rally? Only time will tell, but grab some popcorn-because this is not going to be boring.
Now, the raw numbers look outright depressing, like the last act of a play where everyone despairs. But hold your horses; the real story is about what traders are thinking. Are they panic-selling, or just setting up for a gamble where they hope to cash in if things bounce back? Fewer tokens are leaving exchanges, which could mean traders are just flirting with disaster rather than jumping in headlong into it. The market dance has been oscillating between “buy the dip” and “let’s see what happens,” like a clumsy couple trying to waltz but stepping on each other’s toes.
If momentum keeps up, ZEC might revisit its 2017 glory days. But if it fizzles out? Expect a trip back to the bargain bin. 🛒
