Crypto scam: Trading bots and “multipliers”
Often, various persons offer to buy “trading robots” or bots that “know how to bring a stable profit” of 100%–500% per month.
Also, some projects offer to send a random amount of crypto to a certain address (for example, 10 USDT) with the promise to “multiply” it by several times — e.g., to return as much as 100 USDT instead of 10 USDT.
There are trading bots, but they are used for specific tasks: large investment funds, market makers, and trading companies. The prices of such bots are measured in millions. They are not universal, and no one exactly sells them in the public domain.
Therefore, never trust promises of quick and easy profits.

Is Ethereum headed for failure?! 📊
ㅤ
The article Vitalik published on his platform, is an interesting read. But let's not panic, he always brings a share of humor to his predictions.
🔴Vitalik believes that Ethereum's success will depend on three technological "transitions" that, should happen simultaneously:
1️⃣ Transition to L2 scaling
2️⃣ Transition to wallet security
3️⃣ Transition to privacy
Ethereum fails:
🟠Without the first one, because the transaction costs crazy money.
🟠Without the second, because users aren't comfortable keeping their funds and everyone is switching to CEX.
🟠Without the third, because public access to all transactions for everyone is too much of a privacy sacrifice.
Achieving all goals would be "challenging" because of the close connection between them. Because each transition weakens the "one user, one address" model.
🔴Privacy requires each user to have even more addresses. If Vitalik manages to implement "hidden addresses" it will be a new step into the world of decentralization and anonymity.
🔴What's the bottom line?
The narrative of L2 solutions is popping up more and more in the words of cryptans. So the idea of abooting retrodrops, in anticipation of gifs, sounds good.
Put 👍 - support Vitalik.

Tether lost its $1 peg 💲
⠀
Tether lost its $1 peg yesterday morning. Let's look into why this is the case:
➡️ Tether - USDT became worth less than $1 as the 3Pool Curve became severely unbalanced.
The ideal Curve 3Pool balance should be 33.33% for each of the three stabelcoins - USDT, USDC and DAI, but the USDT balance has increased to over 70%. This means that traders are selling a lot of USDT for DAI or USDC, causing USDT to deppeg to $0.997.
➡️ "All the recent news is pushing large groups to exit the crypto markets. Tether is a conduit for liquidity, inbound and outbound. So when interest in cryptocurrency rises, we see inflows; when sentiment in the crypto market is negative, we see outflows. We also can't rule out a direct attack on Tether, as we saw in 2022" - said Tether's CTO.
↪️ The Curve 3Pool last became unbalanced in March when the USDC and DAI balance increased to over 45% each. It also became unbalanced in November when the FTX crypto exchange went bankrupt.
A similar imbalance was seen after the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022, which also saw USDT temporarily depreciate.
⚫️Ardoino stated that Tether is ready as always and they will buy back any amount.

Crypto speak: IYKYK
Yes, it’s a rather complicated abbreviation. “IYKYK” is short for “if you know, you know.” The expression indicates that insiders know something valuable, but it’s used quite widely: either when a person has valuable information about a project or something similar or with irony if a person shares well-known information.
Example:
We see the tweet, “A new updated WhiteList for DeFi project XYZ has been released. IYKYK.”
This means that people who know what a WhiteList is in DeFi and what the XYZ project is will understand the importance of this news. However, those unfamiliar with these terms or the project will probably not understand what this is about.

Vitalik Buterin has posted a new article "The Three Transitions" 🔤
ㅤ
In it he highlighted three important aspects:
1️⃣ L2 expansion is vital for Ethereum scalability. With the manifestation of Optimistic Rollup and Zero Knowledge-Rollup solutions, which help reduce transaction costs, most activity is still happening on the core network, which means we need to push development and scalability to L2. Otherwise, the Ethereum network could suffer from increased transaction fees, especially during bull market periods.
2️⃣ Wallet security needs to be improved to increase user trust. For security reasons, users may stop keeping their funds on the Ethereum network and will go to CEXs, which is very bad for DEXs.
3️⃣ Increased privacy is necessary for further Ethereum adoption, both for standard funds transfer and for its other applications. He noted that public transactions "are too expensive for users, so everyone is moving to centralized solutions that hide personal data to at least some degree." To combat this, Buterin suggested introducing hidden-address protocols to increase privacy.

💰 The reason why it takes time for BTC to enter a bull market
"Looking at the Geographical Supply Distribution by Entities, you can see that the holdings of US institutions have been declining since April 2021."
Although various onchain cycle indicators show that it has already exited the oversold phase and is in the recovery phase, it seems that it will take some more time to reach the bull market phase. The reason is that the BTC holdings of whale investors are not increasing.

What are token listings and delistings on exchanges?👻
It’s straightforward.
A “listing” is the launch of a particular cryptocurrency in a specific crypto platform.
Imagine that there is a cryptocurrency LEARNCRYPTO. Any crypto exchange—e.g., Binance—can list it, making it available to buy and sell.
If LEARNCRYPTO was not on Binance yesterday but it’s available today, it means that Binance has listed LEARNCRYPTO.
Many newcomers think that crypto exchanges have “all” cryptocurrencies listed. However, that’s not how it works. The higher the rank and authority of the exchange and the more users it has, the more carefully the platform approaches coin listings to avoid listing fraudulent or frankly unreliable projects. (Although, exchanges seem to have a good time listing memecoins!)
Meanwhile, “delisting” is the removal of a coin from an exchange. It can happen for various reasons—e.g., the token has ceased to meet the exchange’s standards or has problems with regulators (or the project has tanked, which also happens).
By the way, getting listed on Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, is regarded as a sign of prestige in the crypto world—and it’s not easy to land your coin on the exchange.

What the history of NFT on Ethereum teaches us. NFT on BTC ⛓
ㅤ
We have seen, the history of the NFT market development and how it happened on ETH and other blockchains like SOL and Canto. Now it's BTC's turn... What does history teach us and what is in store for us with ordinals? 📊
➡️ If a project's main advantage is its platform, it will fade over time as attention shifts to new projects and platforms. Any NFT bought solely because it is on a "hype" blockchain will end up rekt.
➡️ Ordinals in general have a lot of potential, but most collections do not have their own uniqueness. You might think that all ordinal collections today would be valuable because they are "early". However, there is little demand for most early NFTs.
↪️ People value relevance 100 times more than historical value.
Just look at the chart of early NFT projects and see how many of them you know. Valuable projects like Cryptopunks and Autoglyphs are exceptions. They were also notable technical innovations.
➡️ The ability to attract attention is the only thing that matters. "Early" and "technologically innovative" are the real agendas that draw attention to some ordinal projects, and they will raise their value to the sky. Outside of that, the money flows where the noise is created.
For example, $PEPE took off because there were 80k owners who benefited from promoting it.
Ordinals tend to be projects with hundreds of holders and they can't compete in a war for attention with other NFT projects that have thousands of holders.
❔ Do you believe that NFT on BTC will be able to overtake ETH in terms of the number of holders?
👍 - Yes
👎 - No

Crypto speak: Funds are safu
“Funds are safu” is a popular crypto meme symbolizing the safety of funds in any project. The expression supposedly originated thanks to the Binance Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), which insures traders.
In the midst of a crypto crisis, if you hold reliable assets, you can safely write “funds are safu!”
And it’s also a playful reference to the Asian pronunciation of the word safe.
