Yesterday, Blockstream’s founder and renowned cryptographer Adam Back, in an interview with Bloomberg, mentioned that Bitcoin could potentially surpass $100,000 before the halving event in the first half of 2024.1 Surpassing the previous high before the halving event is an unprecedented occurrence in the Bitcoin’s development history of the past decade. ...
Friends familiar with the underlying mechanisms of Bitcoin are aware that on the Bitcoin blockchain ledger, it’s not individual bitcoins that are tracked, but rather individual Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs). This technical term is referred to as “Unspent Transaction Output.” Some refer to these as “Bitcoin coins” or BTC coins. Currently, there are approximately 130 million BTC coins recorded on the Bitcoin ledger. An intriguing question is: How is the purchase price of these coins distributed? A research study from Glassnode provides some insights. ...
Overnight, Bitcoin continues to fluctuate above $29,000. The volatility index (30-day implied volatility of option prices) has further decreased, indicating exhaustion from both the bullish and bearish sides. According to reports, Bitcoin mining equipment manufacturers are shifting their focus from the saturated U.S. market to the mining market in Russia. Luxor Technologies, a mining infrastructure service provider, stated that more machines are flowing into Russia than any other place in the world. ...

A discussion about the entry barrier for cryptocurrency investment has sparked a debate in the overseas crypto community.

Overnight, Bitcoin continues to consolidate above the 30k level. Looking at the weekly chart, the previous day’s court ruling regarding XRP, which obtained a 2/3 non-security designation, turned out to be a mere “show of empty positivity.” It further depleted the market’s strength and brought everything back to square one, continuing the trend of slight decline. Short-term speculators have been repeatedly washed out, while long-term hodlers are unable to sell. Market liquidity is drying up, yet there is a lack of substantial catalysts for a significant change, resulting in the current awkward situation. ...
Overnight, BTC continues to consolidate above 30k. It’s a garbage time for traders but a golden time for hodlers. The longer it consolidates, the more fear it instills in many people.

There is a superstitious saying among technical analysis enthusiasts, “Consolidation leads to a drop.” Jiao Chain doesn’t understand this saying. Drop? In which direction will it drop?
