After failing to reach the $2,050 summit, Ethereum decided to take a detour downwards, just like Bitcoin. It dipped below the $1,880 and $1,850 support levels, which is basically the crypto equivalent of tripping over your own feet.
In the grand theatre of capital, Japan’s very own bitcoin treasury company, Metaplanet Inc. (let’s just call it the glittering jewel of the Tokyo Stock Exchange), has unveiled its tenth act: a mesmerizing issuance of ordinary bonds, as sanctioned by the gods of its board on this fine day, March 31.
In a spirited post on X, our dear Brian posits that crypto companies should be accorded the same dignified treatment as banks, thus allowing them to shower “onchain interest” upon the masses. How terribly democratic and delightfully profitable!
This reversal has, naturally, rekindled anxieties amongst those who concern themselves with such matters, raising disquieting questions as to whether this recent exuberance was founded on genuine demand or merely the fevered imaginings of speculators. Oh, the perils of speculation!
Good heavens, it seems the crypto crowd is having a spot of bother. For the second week running, investors have been pulling their funds out of the market, leaving a trail of $584 million in outflows in their wake. And if that wasn’t enough, the two-week total stands at a whopping $1.2 billion. One wonders what’s got them all so spooked.
In a move that might make even the coolest blockchain whisperers clutch their monocles, the mempool—the sacred antechamber of pending Bitcoin transactions—is looking emptier than a champagne glass at a particularly jolly Noël Coward gathering. When block 890,138 arrived on March’s grand farewell day, all transactions appeared to have done a runner, leaving precisely 500 to 1,311 shy little transfers waiting, likely twiddling their digital thumbs. This, mind you, is the kind of volume one rather expects at an exclusive boutique soirée rather than a discotheque of decentralization!
In the quiet village of digital assets, where the boisterous Bitcoin holds court, the humble Volatility Shares introduced its pair of Solana-fangled funds on a day when spring promised renewal. Alas, the Solana ETF (SOLZ) and its bold cousin, the 2x Solana ETF (SOLT), emerged like shy debutantes at the ball of trading floors. With … Read more
The idea of keeping chickens in your own backyard for their eggs is becoming more popular, especially with the increasing cost of eggs. A user posted a link to an article in The Guardian that highlights how Australians have taken up chicken farming as a way to “outsmart” rising egg prices. In these tough times of inflation, the concept of having our own egg-laying companions seems quite appealing. Not only does it provide us with fresh eggs, but it also brings back a sense of nostalgia—a time when shopping for groceries wasn’t like searching for hidden treasures to save money. One commenter pointed out that chickens can act as living waste disposals for leftovers, making them both useful and endearing in their ability to convert scraps into something productive. It’s amazing how having a chicken coop in your backyard can turn savings into a fun, poultry-filled party!
cmdr-clay’s initial post highlighted the difficulties many gamers encounter with trade mechanics within the game. Once they exhausted their iron deposits, they were stuck in a predicament—having to buy iron ore at 13 units and then crafting crossbows that only sold for 8 units. This situation clearly exposed a significant loss. They lamented, “the only viable option seems to be mass-producing regenerative items like food and planks.” The conversation that followed was a blend of empathy and suggestions. Some players acknowledged that aiming for total self-sufficiency might not always work; rather, focusing on exporting abundant local goods often leads to better outcomes. Their insight? Adapting to the resources at hand could be the secret to prosperity.
One notable topic that emerged during our chat is the community’s emphasis on expanding the level of detailed control they have over their settlements. User BernardoPilarz made a substantial suggestion: “It would be beneficial if we could assign specific families residing in that particular plot near the sawpit to work at the sawpit.” This desire to decide which family works at each production site indicates a strong interest in delving deeper into the intricacies of their settlements. The allure appears to stem from the belief that a more personalized approach could enhance the strategy aspect of the game, making it more engaging and rewarding. This viewpoint is shared by many, as evident in comments from users like Adept-Ad-7591, who highlighted the potential for even minor adjustments to significantly influence how players manage their in-game resources and structures.
