Could Yuga Labs’ Dookey Dash Revive The GameFi Hype?

By Leave a Comment

I wouldn’t bet any amount of money on a web-based mini-game titled ‘Dookey Dash’ to revive much of anything, and certainly not the entire sub-section of a niche crypto corner. However, Yuga Labs’ first take at an ‘ape ingrained’ mini-game has been making waves this month. While the relatively simple game won’t reinvent the wheel, it is causing dialogue and discussion at what could be an opportune time in crypto.

If the timing indeed is appropriate and bull market conditions re-emerge, could Yuga’s Dookey Dash mini-game be seen as the turning point that pumped the life back into GameFi?  Read more...

Bitcoin Could Drop To $15K If Fed Doesn’t Pivot, Ex-Crypto Exchange CEO Warns

By Leave a Comment

Given Bitcoin’s major price movement, financial gurus are now theorizing on the possible influence of Federal Reserve monetary policy modifications on the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin’s price has increased by 30% since the beginning of the 2023, surpassing $ 23,000 after dipping below $ 16,000 late last year.

The recent rally in the alpha coin was triggered by a decline in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, indicating a likely deceleration in interest rate hikes.

Nevertheless, the founder and former chief executive of the BitMex crypto exchange has cautioned that Bitcoin and the market for crypto assets may experience a decline if the U.S. Federal Reserve does not adjust its monetary policies.  Read more...

Governments Could Still Hamper Money And Energy, Even On A Bitcoin Standard

By Leave a Comment

Even after Bitcoin inevitably becomes the world reserve currency and bitcoin mining solves our energy problems, governments will intervene.

This is an opinion editorial by Will Szamosszegi, founder and CEO of bitcoin mining hosting service Sazmining.

Money and energy are two of the most fundamental aspects of an economy because both are universal. Energy is required to transform raw materials into final consumer goods and services. Money is required to store wealth, calculate revenue and losses and trade for goods and services that you couldn’t acquire through barter.  Read more...

Bitcoin Maximalist Michael Saylor Says Ethereum Could Collapse Like LUNA

Will Ethereum Break Like LUNA?

In a Twitter post, the MicroStrategy ex-CEO highlighted that Ethereum is at risk of seeing a LUNA-level event. The argument was basically a comparison of bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum which Saylor believes are unstable.  Read more...

Could Rishi Sunak Be Bitcoin’s “October Surprise?”

By Leave a Comment

The new English prime minister could spark interest in bitcoin within a country that desperately needs it.

This is an opinion editorial by Jacob Kozhipatt, a YouTuber and writer.

The phrase “October Surprise” is used in politics to describe a last minute, paradigm-shifting event that occurs a month before an American election. For example, in 2016, the FBI reopened their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, an event which many argue led to her loss in the 2020 election. In 2020, then-president Donald Trump contracted COVID-19, just weeks before the November election.  Read more...

Ethereum Could Breach $3,000 Level In 2023 And It ‘Makes Sense,’ This Analyst Says

By Leave a Comment

Ethereum (ETH) price went down by 2.8% over the last 24 hours but the asset still has the ability to sustain the $ 1,500 range.

At press time, according to tracking from Coingecko, the second largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization is trading at $ 1,506 and is still up by 17.5% for the past seven days.

The “post merge crash” that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies endured a few weeks ago has helped put the “king of all altcoins” back on top.

That challenging period saw Ethereum struggle to hold and surpass the $ 1,300 and $ 1,400 levels.  Read more...

Cannabis Producers Could Use Some Crypto After Snub From Banks

By Leave a Comment

Cannabis and crypto go a long way. They share the same “high” and miseries.

Still a taboo in many countries, the U.S. Cannabis industry sees cryptocurrency as its saving grace after being declined by the traditional banking sector. Being ignored by banks is just one of the many gnawing hurdles that the weed industry is facing today.

Even though cannabis use has been legalized for both recreational and medical or therapeutic use, it is still considered illegal under most laws. In fact, the pressing regulatory issues have caused many financial institutions to snub or leave out any transactions involving cannabis and the like.  Read more...
