The Daily Spin. Wen 2023 Wednesday Edition. Yes, we are so done with 2022. Market-wide sentiment also reflects the same, awaiting for the 2023 ball to drop and things to start moving again – hopefully, in a better direction. Until then, just look at the Bitcoin price – lowest volatility in history – it’s as if the market is just in a holding pattern while people take their much needed breaks, and North America gets slammed by the “bomb cyclone” weather phenomenon. Santa really came this year, and he even launched a web3 browser to help onboard the next 200 million users. That’s exactly what we wished for, but I’m not too sure about the judge appointment for SBF… that one seems a bit dodgy. But at least they got the Mango guy. Nobody takes my mangoes without paying the price.
Bitkeep hack losses have now accumulated to $8m since the weekend. Bitcoin miners continue to be “in crisis” mode, as their profitability cycle remains inverted. The bullish TA for Bitcoin is looming neigh, most soon expecting to see the accumulation opportunity of the generation just around the corner. Astar network gets an award, Syscoin moves to build a stronger base in Asia. EVM L2 Cairo’s TVL surpasses SOL’s Rust. Argo pauses trading on the NASDAQ. TerraClassic’s MCAP gets $1bn from all that family money being thrown around during Christmas.
This is actually a jam-packed edition of the Daily Spin! We take a look at Semi-Fungible Tokens (SFTs) in detail. The TL section features a good article on Bridging and Finality, a deep thread on Synapse Protocol, and a medium article on Single-sided Cross-chain AMMs via Symbiosis v2. And last but not least, don’t forget to support the Hal Finney marathon! Here is our round-up of curated news and opinions (surely biased) from the world of Blockchain, keeping you informed over the holiday season with the most trending, in-the-know, and controversial topics. In the name of transparent, dissemination of information to keep you curious, inspired, and clinically sane…
