In a plot twist straight out of a cyberpunk novel, South Korea’s beloved BC Card partnered with Base, a shiny Ethereum layer-2 chain dreamed up by Coinbase, to introduce the noble and slightly mysterious stablecoin USDC. Yes, dollars on the blockchain-because why not add a dash of digital magic to your ₩s?
This “strategy” was sort of like choosing to play chess with a lightning bolt-done via perpetual futures, which is a fancy way of saying they’re betting on the derivatives rollercoaster rather than actually buying and selling the real stuff. It’s a bit like trying to control the tide by blowing bubbles in the bathtub.
Per the sacred scrolls of CoinGecko (or as I call them, The Gospel According to the Digital Gold), Dogecoin has plummeted 62% this year. Meme coins, those jesters of finance, have failed to tickle the market’s fancy, leaving investors with faces as sour as a vinegar-soaked baguette. 📉
Now, according to our dear friends at CoinGlass, this recent pirouette in price is all about a liquidity hunt for those cheeky leveraged shorts perched above the $90K mark. How dramatic! 💃
On the chilly Monday, December 29, while most of us were probably wondering what dinner to make or if it’s time to replace the old socks, BlackRock was busy moving thousands of BTC and ETH. Yes, tonnes of crypto-like a digital fire sale-right onto Coinbase, probably shouting, “Catch me if you can!” 🏃♂️💸
According to Crypto Miners on X, Keiser has reaffirmed his 2025 thesis, which posits that the U.S. debt, now a staggering $36 trillion, and annual interest expenses nearing $1 trillion, will drive BTC beyond $2 million. The argument, as ever, hinges on the eternal struggle between a finite supply of 21 million coins and the infinite whims of government spending. 📉💸
BeInCrypto did what they do best-analyze and speculate-about three sneaky altcoins itching to shine in the year-end fireworks. Ready? Set? Profit maybe? Or at least a good laugh! 😂
Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment occurs every 2016 blocks, roughly every two weeks-a biweekly ritual of chaos and calculation. When blocks are mined too quickly, the network slaps on extra difficulty like a teacher handing out pop quizzes. If they’re too slow? Well, it’s not like the blockchain’s going to hand out participation trophies. The system’s as fair as a tax audit, really.
The altcoins, those faithful sidekicks, followed suit like a flock of sheep in a tornado. 🐑🌪️ Ethereum, the so-called “king of the alts,” wobbled above and below $3,000 faster than a child on a sugar rush. 🍭💨
Seems like the silver chart has a mischievous hand in this chaos. One night, silver shot up, reaching $84, only to be swiftly rejected, dropping $10 like a stubborn mule. Now it hovers around $74, trying to do its best impression of a bouncing ball. Could it be that money, tired of silver’s underwhelming performance, diverted into the battered, but still hopeful, Bitcoin? Even gold couldn’t escape the overnight slump – down 1.8%. Looks like the shiny metals are crying rivers while Bitcoin fans pretend it’s all part of the plan. 😏
