BULL MARKET Bitcoin’s Next is here! Says

Pantera CEO

According to the CEO of Pantera Capital, Dan Morehead, the crypto asset market is already in its “next bull market cycle”. In Pantera’s recent “Blockchain Letter”, Morehead predicted that 2023 would be a “year for rebuilding trust.”

Morehead stated that the crypto market has already “seen the lows” and that the current bull market cycle is underway, regardless of what happens with other interest-rate-sensitive assets. The CEO noted that Pantera has been through ten years of Bitcoin cycles, and he has traded through 35 years of similar cycles, making him confident that the market is in a positive direction.

Morehead also pointed out that the recent dip in Bitcoin’s price is well within historical context, despite the market’s recent dip below its previous all-time high. The CEO believes that the trend will change, and that Bitcoin is on its way to reaching new record highs.

Pantera Capital is also optimistic about the decentralized finance (DeFi) space but believes that 2023 will be a year of “rebuilding trust” in central-

ized finance (CeFi) first and foremost. This, according to Morehead, is necessary in light of the multiple corporate failures that led to the crypto bear market in 2022.

The CEO expects CeFi to regain its power globally on a “jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction level.” He believes that 2023 will be the year where entities follow the rules and reap the rewards of doing so, instead of breaking rules and failing as seen in 2022.

ORDINALSBITCOIN

A New Twist To An Old Concept

Bitcoin Ordinals is a new cryptographic technique that has recently gained traction in the blockchain community. The concept, which was first introduced in a research paper by a group of computer scientists in 2021, aims to address the issue of transaction malleability in Bitcoin’s blockchain.

Transaction malleability is a longstanding problem that affects the security and reliability of Bitcoin transactions. It allows an attacker to modify a transaction’s unique identifier, known as a transaction ID, before it is included in a block. This can cause confusion among users and make it difficult for them to track their transactions.

malleability. Others, however, remain skeptical of its potential impact and see it as a complex and unnecessary addition to the Bitcoin protocol.

Bitcoin Ordinals addresses this issue by introducing a new type of transaction identifier, known as an ordinal. Unlike traditional transaction IDs, ordinals are not affected by transaction malleability. They are derived from the block height, which is a unique number that identifies each block in the Bitcoin blockchain. This makes them immutable and resistant to tampering, which improves the overall security and reliability of the Bitcoin network.

The community’s reaction to Bitcoin Ordinals has been mixed. Some experts believe that it is a significant step forward in improving the security and efficiency of Bitcoin transactions. They see it as a promising solution to the longstanding problem of transaction

Despite the mixed response, there is a growing buzz around Bitcoin Ordinals in the blockchain community. Many developers are experimenting with the new technique and exploring its potential applications. It remains to be seen whether Bitcoin Ordinals will become a widely adopted feature of the Bitcoin protocol, but its innovative approach to transaction identification has certainly caught the attention of the blockchain world.

In Summary

Bitcoin Ordinals is a new cryptographic technique that aims to improve the security and reliability of Bitcoin transactions by introducing a new type of transaction identifier. While the community’s reaction has been mixed, it has generated significant interest in the blockchain world and could potentially lead to important developments in the future.

1.3 MILLION Super Bowl LVII NFT Avatars Minted in a Matter of Days

The partnership between Reddit and the NFL has resulted in a new milestone as more than 1.3 million official Super Bowl LVII NFT avatars have been minted in a matter of days. The Reddit platform is making it easier for millions of users to

access NFTs with its Collectible Avatars initiative, and the Super Bowl NFTs are no exception.

With the Super Bowl NFTs, all Reddit users have the opportunity to get one of four different avatar designs for the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, without spending any money. Reddit mints its collectible avatars on Polygon, a network built on top of Ethereum that enables quicker and cheaper transactions.

The Super Bowl NFTs, however, haven’t seen much trade activity since they’re available for free. According to data from leading NFT marketplace OpenSea, the NFL collection has only seen about 5 ETH ($7,600) in exchanges and pricing on the secondary market starts at 0.18 MATIC ($0.23).

LOW-BARRIER ACCESS to NFTs

Reddit’s NFT initiative is a low-barrier entry point for newcomers to Web3, as users can easily obtain an avatar by simply clicking a button, selecting an avatar from a gallery, and providing a password to set up a new wallet. The avatars can also be transferred to a third-party wallet for buying, selling, or trading if desired.

With over 9.7 million Reddit Collectible Avatar NFTs already minted, the platform is becoming a model for efficiency in the Web3 world. This latest partnership with the NFL has once again proven Reddit’s dedication to making NFTs accessible to a wider audience.

GAMING

The Immense

POTENTIAL

of Non-Fungible Tokens

NFTs are a type of digital asset that are stored on a blockchain, the same technology that powers cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Unlike fungible tokens like cryptocurrencies, NFTs are unique and non-interchangeable. In the gaming world, NFTs have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about digital ownership and open up new revenue streams for game.

How do NFTs work in Gaming?

CryptoKitties, one of the earliest and most successful examples of NFTs in gaming, lets players buy, trade and breed digital cats recorded as NFTs on Ethereum blockchain. It showed the potential of NFTs in gaming. Since then, NFTs have been used in various ways, including:

IN-GAME ITEMS

NFTs can represent weapons, armor, collectible cards, characters and more, allowing players to buy, sell, trade and create new revenue for game developers. Example: Sorare, a fantasy football game that uses NFTs to represent game items.

VIRTUAL REAL ESTATE

NFTs can represent virtual land, buildings and other assets, allowing players to own and trade them, creating new level of immersion and ownership. Example: Decentraland and The Sandbox, virtual world games that use NFTs to represent virtual assets.

COLLATERAL

NFTs can be used in decentralized finance, such as stablecoins and prediction markets, as collateral.

of NFTs in Gaming BENEFITS

New revenue stream for game developers

With NFTs, game developers can now generate revenue from the secondary market sales of in-game items, creating new business models and opportunities for innovation in the gaming industry.

Players have more control over their in-game items

With NFTs, players truly own their in-game items and can do with them as they please, including lending, borrowing, or using them as collateral in decentralized finance protocols.

Increased engagement and immersion

The use of NFTs in gaming, particularly for virtual real estate, can provide a new level of immersion and a sense of ownership for the players, making the gaming experience more engaging.

These examples demonstrate the potential of NFTs in gaming, from creating new revenue streams for game developers to providing players with true ownership of in-game items, creating a sense of immersion and opening up new markets for digital collectibles

True Ownership of In-Game Items

One of the key possibilities of NFTs in gaming is the ability to provide true ownership of in-game items. In traditional digital gaming, the items you acquire in-game are simply data stored on a server controlled by the game’s developers. This means that you don’t truly own them and can’t take them with you if you stop playing the game or if the game shuts down. With NFTs, you have true ownership of the items you acquire, you can take your NFT items with you to other games or even sell them on the open market.

The Future of Digital Collectibles

Another area where NFTs have the potential to revolutionize the gaming industry is the world of digital collectibles. In the past, digital collectibles have been little more than images or animations, with no real value beyond their sentimental value to the collector. But with NFTs, digital collectibles can now be one-of-a-kind, unique assets that have real value. This opens up a whole new market for collectors and allows for a level of creativity and innovation in digital collectibles that simply wasn’t possible before.

Immutable Proof of Ownership

NFTs also provide immutable proof of ownership. Because NFTs are stored on a blockchain, the ownership of each one can be tracked and verified through the use of unique cryptographic signatures. This means that NFTs can be used to prove the authenticity of in-game items and to prevent fraud. In addition, NFTs can also be used to provide proof of ownership of virtual real estate, such as land in a virtual world.

NEW REVENUE

NFTs also open up new revenue streams for game developers. In the past, developers have had to rely on in-game purchases or subscription models to monetize their games. But with NFTs, developers can now sell unique in-game items directly to players, and those items can then be resold on the open market. This creates a secondary economy within the game that can be incredibly lucrative for developers. Additionally, game developers can also mint NFTs for virtual worlds, virtual real estate, and other virtual assets, and sell them to players for real money.

While NFTs in gaming offer many potential benefits, there are also a number of challenges and risks that need to be considered such as:

Interoperability

Currently, most NFTs are built on a specific blockchain, like Ethereum, which means that they are not compatible with other blockchains or games. This means that an in-game item purchased on one game cannot be used in another game.

Fraud & Scams

With the rise of NFTs in gaming, there is a risk of bad actors creating fake or counterfeit NFTs to trick players into buying them.

Governance

Game developers have less control over the NFTs once they are sold on the open market, which means they may no longer be able to regulate how those items are used or what happens to them.

Ownership

If the game developer goes out of business or shuts down the game, it raises questions about what happens to the NFT items the players have purchased and owned.

offer exciting possibilities in gaming, revolutionizing digital ownership and creating new revenue. From ingame items to virtual real estate to decentralized finance collateral, NFTs have many uses.

WIN A TO EARN

LIKE NO OTHER NFT GAME

In today’s generation, individuals spend most of their time in gaming. These individuals from all over the world create one of the biggest online communities.

Inspired by the Trading Card game and the social simulation video game series, Playermon was created by a team of professionals with a love for gaming and knowledge of Blockchain Technology in hand.

P2E gaming, or Play-to-Earn gaming, is a new trend in the gaming industry that is gaining popularity among players. In P2E games, players can earn real money by playing the game and completing in-game tasks or objectives. This is a departure from traditional games, where players spend money to purchase in-game items or unlock new levels.

P2E games are typically blockchain-based, which means that they use cryptocurrency to facilitate in-game transactions. This allows players to trade in-game items and currency on decentralized marketplaces, creating a new revenue stream for game developers.

P2E gaming is not only creating new revenue streams for game developers, but also providing players with a new way to monetize their time and skills. It also creates new opportunities for investors to invest in virtual assets, one example of a P2E game that is making a significant impact in the gaming industry is Playermon.

Playermon was born to become the next leading social creative metaverse, a win-to-earn NFT game in the blockchain industry. A game accessible to everyone with low entry costs that provides players, creators, and investors with the ability to generate income based on their creativity and “playformance”.

A Challenge to Playermon

For the past 30 years, traditional games have invaded from generations to generations. On the other hand, win-to-earn games have just started quite recently. But it has gained exponential growth in terms of the transaction and total active user. Though Bitcoin took more than 10 years for cryptocurrency to become mainstream, it is foreseen that GameFi will gain momentum faster than cryptocurrency 1.0. In fact, GameFi introduces a whole new community into becoming Crypto users. Through the fundamentals of gaming, the team created a game that is fun to play at the same time offers other benefits to its users.

As the team progressed to the creative and planning phases, challenges and obstacles had inevitably risen in the course of bringing this GameFi project into realization. Still, Playermon remains committed to making a difference and bringing more value to the NFT Game industry and Win-to-Earn communities despite these obstacles.

Why? First, it has adorable and artistically made Playermons, with a potential of being high-demand NFT collectibles. Second, they hold a strong focus on tokenomics, burning and gaming mechanisms and staking through the execution of well-known Blockchain developers in Asia. Also, they offer multiple mini games in a game that provides many opportunities to earn and to unwind with a focus on socializing and competing with other players. The dedication and commitment of gaming developers and artists around the world equipped with decades of experience, expertise, and award- winning talents is also an assurance to the project’s sustainability. Lastly, through the support of strong advisors and partners from the blockchain game communities they can make wiser choices for the game and the project.

Playermon on the Move

With the current high demand for NFT games equipped with more than a decade of award-winning experience of the founders and developers in the mobile game industry, Playermon assures the success of this project.

More importantly, the key difference between Playermon and other traditional games is its integration of the blockchain economic design to reward the players for their contributions to the ecosys tem by completing quests to gain rewards, competing in different game modes to earn rewards, selling and leasing NFT assets in the marketplace and many more.

The NFT Play-to-Earn (P2E) has grown significantly with top P2E Companies reaching almost $10B market cap. As Playermon understands the criticality of a block chain network in the long-term success of P2E games, Polygon (MATIC) combines the best of Ethereum and sovereign blockchains into an attractive feature set which is built by developers, for developers.

In this light, Playermon aims to create a social cre ative metaverse that provides high engagement value among players, and where through gaming. It is also significant to note that investors could garner unique benefits such as functionality related to access control to maximize productivity and achieve a more decen tralized approach end-to-end with the players. Content creators and artists can also be empowered through the Playermon Metaverse.

Playermon believes that the metaverse future is about the community where work, play and social can happen in the virtual space. They focus on empowering the creativity in a community where they could express their creativity and show it off to the public in the metaverse while enjoying the economic opportunities created.

ROAD TO SUCCESS!

Since Playermon’s launch until now, it has attracted an impressive number of Players and social media followers with 56k on Discord, 70k on Telegram, 133k on Twitter, 24k on YouTube and 5k on Instagram. This number shows how the community has grown in just a year or so and continues to expand.

As Playermon approaches Q4 of its roadmap, it has already undergone several listings with Uniswap DEX,Quickswap DEX, MEXC Exchange, and Gate Exchange. Features from the game had also been added such as the Anchorland PvE Game, SpaceDen game

with numerous ways to earn and Marketplace which allows trade. Game updates are also continuously added as the Playermon continues to progress especially as the SpaceDen Decor mode has been launched.

is a boundless Play to Earn Game where anyone can explore and battle in the universe with their favorite space companions called Playermons! Players are able to colonize planets, earn resources, and battle other players with their Playermons.

Getting into THE of WORLD NFTs

I’m openthefridge

previously a former pro-gamer based in Singapore. After my pro gaming days, I ventured into digital marketing and I chanced upon NFTs through Instagram.

After witnessing crypto’s impact back in 2017, I became an early adopter to NFTs. I started my journey by becoming a collector of many projects, I slowly began to immerse myself in how the Web3 space operates. By joining tons of communities, I became connected to like-minded builders who onboarded me as a moderator for my very first project during the bear market, Dysto Apez. This opportunity allowed me to envision the boundless opportunities that the NFT space provides, pushing me to finally quit my job as a digital marketer for Lazada to pursue my career in the Web3 space full time.

Shortly after Dysto Apez minted, I found myself being propelled into a bull market. As there were so many new projects launching everyday, I began observing what factors distinguishes a successful project from the ones that fail. When I became confident in my analysis, I actively became a part of the projects that I believed in. Shortly after, I was recruited by Karafuru & T-O-S to be a Community Builder. Due to Karafuru’s association with HYPEBEAST, it became one of the most sought after collections, allowing me to connect with more likeminded individuals from other projects and communities. Being connected to so many communities, I began working more on partnerships. Through my extensive network, I gained insight on how to successfully manage a project, ultimately leading me to my current role in Web3: an NFT advisor

With my prior affinity to gaming, I took an interest in advising gaming-related projects, one of which being ArcanaHQ. Due to its interesting concept of digital identity technology, we were able to collaborate with majority of the Web3 gaming projects that are on multi-chain on a deeper level in terms of providing data oracles to provide both off & on chain data for their communities and value-adding them with a pool of individuals that are interested in Web3 gaming. I am also a Advisor on 0xBrotherhood which is a network of elites that are active and prominent in the space.

Apart from my active role as an advisor, I aim to share my experiences as a builder to other aspiring builders of Web3. 6 months ago, I started Anons, a network where builders can come together to share their past experiences and discuss the progression of their Web3 career. I am more than grateful for the opportunities Web3 has provided me, and there is nothing more that I wish to do than to share my resources with those who aspire to follow the same path

I would advise new entrants that are entering the market, to

really take their time to learn and understand what NFT projects they are entering into. As they always said, do your own diligence (DYOR). And through their journey, try to make meaningful connections as Web3 is pretty much a collaborative space as it is infancy. With such a open market, you never know who will someday be somebody that will be able to value add your journey as a builder. Crypto Twitter & Discord is pretty much the go-to platform to search for new projects. I would say punk6529, tropoFarmer & Giancarlo among a few to follow.

GEMS HIDDEN

The significance of hidden gems in the cryptocurrency market lies in the potential for high returns on investment. Because these cryptocurrencies are not well known or widely traded, they are often priced lower than more established cryptocurrencies with similar potential. This means that there is often a larger margin for growth and appreciation in the value of these hidden gems.

Investing in hidden gems can also offer investors the opportunity to be early adopters of new and innovative projects. By investing in a hidden gem, an investor has the potential to be one of the first people to support and benefit from a new technology or application that could eventually change the way the world operates.

Additionally, investing in hidden gems can help diversify

a portfolio and reduce the risk of losses. Because these cryptocurrencies are not widely traded, they are less likely to be impacted by market fluctuations and can provide a stabilizing effect on a portfolio.

It’s important to remember that investing in hidden gems carries a higher degree of risk due to the uncertainty of their future growth and potential. Before investing in a hidden

gem, it’s important to conduct thorough research and due diligence to ensure that the investment is based on sound fundamentals and has a realistic chance of success.

Lido Ecosystem

The release of Ethereum 2.0 has generated a lot of excitement, but there is a drawback to the upgrade: staking is only possible with multiples of 32 ETH. Fortunately, there is a solution for those who want to stake any amount of ETH and for other purposes: the Lido Dao platform.

Lido is a third-party staking service that allows Ethereum users to stake their ETH coins onto the new version of Ethereum (Ethereum 2.0). The Lido app is operated through Ledger Live by the Lido team instead of The Lido App.

Lido allows users to stake not only ETH 2.0 but other crypto assets as well such as bLuna or stSOL on the platform with APR ranging from 3.3% to 6.4% depending on the asset.

Lido is a liquid staking solution for ETH backed by industry-leading staking providers. Lido lets users stake their ETH - without locking tokens or maintaining infrastructure - whilst participating in onchain activities, e.g. lending.

Lido attempts to solve the problems associated with initial ETH stakingilliquidity, immovability and accessibility - making staked ETH liquid and allowing for participation with any amount of ETH to improve performance of the Ethereum network.

LDO is an Ethereum token granting governance rights in the Lido DAO. The Lido DAO governs a set of liquid staking protocols, decides on key parameters (e.g., fees) and executes protocol upgrades to ensure efficiency and stability. By holding the LDO token, one is granted voting rights within the Lido DAO. The more LDO locked in a user’s voting contract, the greater the decision-making power the voter gets.

VOXIE TACTICS

is a free-to-play, 3D turn-based tactical RPG game designed in a retro style. The developers of this virtual universe took inspiration from the classic tactical games of the 1990s and 2000s, but with modern game mechanics and updates in mind. The game offers two main playing modes, called Exploration and Battling, which incorporate game mechanics inherent in RPG games.

Voxies in-game mechanics (market, gear crafting, PvP battles) is the main driving force behind the demand for VOXEL tokens.

Voxies (VOXEL) is the native utility currency of Voxie Tactics, which allows players to purchase weapons, armor, and other in-game items. The token is available in the secondary market, which means that VOXEL tokens can be purchased within the game and then sold in the secondary market, just like Voxies NFTs.

Voxies is the role-playing game project built on blockchain technology where users can play Voxie Tactics and take advantage of the VOXEL token, earning rewards in the process. Gamers can explore the Voxtopia world or challenge other users at the PVP arena. Upon winning, players receive VOXEL tokens and in-game NFT items.

Of the obvious advantages, Voxies is a free-to-play game. Moreover, players do not need to understand the field of cryptocurrency or buy Voxie NFT in order to immerse themselves in the Voxie Tactics universe, Therefore, anyone can join the Voxie universe and start playing instantly.

Projects listed on Binance Launchpad such as Polygon (Matic), Alpha, Hook etc have had a very high ROI since their launch.

Today’s article will introduce you to Injective Protocol, a project that is also listed on Binance Launchpad

INJ is the native utility token of Injective. INJ is a scarce asset that is used for governance, token burn auctions and staking on the PoS network. The burn auctions on Injective are especially unique since 60% of all fees collected from dApps are auctioned off every week via a buy back and burn mechanism. This in turn allows the supply of INJ to dramatically decrease over time.

The INJ burn auction is unique in that it helps accrue value for

the entire Injective ecosystem. Currently, Injective has the highest token burn ratio in the industry.

The use cases intended for INJ include but are not limited to: protocol governance, dApp value capture, Proof-of-Stake (PoS) security, developer incentives and staking. Further details regarding each of these use cases can be found below.

Protocol Governance: The INJ token governs every single component of Injective, including chain upgrades. Since its mainnet launch, the Injective community has actively contributed to governance, with all proposals passing through a DAO governance vote. The comprehensive governance page is available here.

Protocol Fee Value Capture: 60% of all fees generated from dApps enter an on-chain buy-back-andburn auction to maintain the deflationary nature of INJ. The burn auction page is available here.

Tendermint-based Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Security: INJ is used to secure the Injective blockchain using a proof-of-stake mechanism. Validators and delegators can both participate in staking.

Developer Incentives : 40% of fees generated by users on dApps built on Injective go directly towards incentivizing new developers building on Injective which brings an ever growing funnel of builders to Injective.

League of Kingdoms (LOKA) is a blockchain-based Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) strategy game. As a play-to-earn ecosystem League of Kingdoms allows players to earn real income through in-game activity.

During gameplay users can build kingdoms, raise armies, form alliances and compete on the battlefields for power and wealth. The game supports player-versus-environment (PvE), player-versus-player (PvP) and party-play (MMO) gaming modes.

While the League of Kingdoms’s governance token LOKA allows holders to take part in the decision-making process on the platform, purchase in-game items and profit through staking, the project’s utility token called DST (Dragon Soul Token) is necessary for breeding Dragos, the dragon-like in-game characters.

LOKA token went live in January 2022. According to the official whitepaper the game was launched in July 2021. In 2022 the platform plans to release a proprietary NFT marketplace, a PvP arena and a land reward hub among other new features.

Mina is the world’s lightest blockchain, authorized by the network participants themselves. Instead of applying brute force, Mina used advanced cryptography and zk-SNARK to design an entire blockchain that is about 22kb in size, the size of a few tweets, ushering in a new era of possibilities for blockchain.

Mina is working on achieving an efficient distributed payment system that enables users to natively verify the platform right from the genesis block. Its technical whitepaper calls this a “succinct blockchain.”

The protocol uses Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge (zk-SNARKs), a cryptographic proof that enables someone

to authenticate information without revealing said information. However, enabling a user to trace the platform back to its genesis block can be impractical in a large network. As such, Mina incrementally computes SNARKS that concentrate only on the last few blocks — meaning that end-users check that zk-SNARK-compressed proof, instead of a block’s entire transaction history.

SUMMIT FINANCIAL DUBAI, UAE

magazine is proud to announce our collaboration with one of the most exclusive events in the crypto and finance space: The Financial Summit.

Professional trader, Bitcoin & Blockchain public speaker, and founder of the Financial Summit.

At the latest 2022 Bali edition of the Financial Summit, BlockWorld was represented by magazine founder Kishor M. He found the experience of attending the Financial Summit Bali event truly unique and highly beneficial; not only in growing his crypto and finance network, but also the knowledge he gained on a variety of trading and investing related subjects. “I especially liked the panel on flipping NFT’s and the after hour talks with other attendees who all have their own unique specialism within the crypto and finance field.”

The organization of the Financial Summit has really pulled it off! They have created a relaxing environment in which high end conversations can take place inside and outside of the conference room. Most important to me is the fact that this is the first event I ever came across in the space where nobody is trying to sell you anything. At this Summit valuable knowledge and insights are shared without any second ‘sales’ agendas. “I learn from you, you learn from me.” It’s the perfect synergy for me.

BTC ANALYSIS

IS

THE BEAR MARKET OVER

Bitcoin Bull Run and Bear Market

Understanding the Cycle of the World’s Most Popular Cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin, the world’s first decentralized cryptocurrency, has had a rollercoaster ride since its creation in 2009. The cryptocurrency has gone through periods of extreme growth and decline, referred to as bull runs and bear markets.

Understanding the cycle of Bitcoin’s bull runs and bear markets is crucial for anyone looking to invest in Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin.

Shall we delve into whether or not the crypto bear market of 2022 has come to an end?

As is commonly understood, candlestick charts are a crucial tool in predicting or speculating on price movements within the financial sector or market by analyzing past charts and data.

Bitcoin corrections are not uncommon and are, in fact, a normal part of the cryptocurrency market. In fact, Bitcoin has experienced several corrections in the past, with drops of up to 86% after the 2013 bull market.

Again in 2018-19, We saw 83% correction and 357 days of bear market.

2018-19 Bear Market

2013-14 Bear Market

Then again in 2022-23, we saw 77% correction and 417 days of Bear Market.

2022-23 Bear Market

Based on an analysis of past bear market corrections, it could be argued that Bitcoin has already reached its bottom in terms of both the number of days it has been in a bear market and the percentage of the correction.

Let’s see where we are right now

Following a substantial correction and prolonged period of downward movement, we witnessed a significant breakout that resembled the one we observed in 2019. Chart is below:

Just like 2019 we can see a good rally till 40K in 2023

Can we sustain the momentum and is the bull run already underway? Let’s delve further into the topic.

Bitcoin had a strong start in 2019, reaching a high of around $13,800 in late June. However, it then experienced a significant pullback and ended the year around $7,000.

In a similar manner, we can anticipate that Bitcoin will experience a surge up to 40K followed by a noteworthy retracement in order to complete the second wave on the macro chart provided below:

As depicted in the macro chart above, all five bear waves have been completed, and we are currently undergoing an ABC correction. Once we reach the “C” point, the first wave of the bull run will be concluded, after which we can anticipate a substantial correction for the second wave by the end of 2023.

How High Bitcoin can go in next Bullrun?

It’s difficult to accurately predict how high Bitcoin can go in the next bull run. Bitcoin has undergone three halvings thus far, and on each occasion, the price has been considerably significant higher than during the previous halving. As the 2024 Bitcoin halving approaches, owners of BTC will undoubtedly be optimistic that this pattern will persist and by the end of 2025 we can see Bitcoin above 100K

If you are a crypto enthusiast looking for an IDO platform to invest in, look no further than BinStarter.

is a Binance Smart Chain-based IDO platform that provides predictable liquidity collection for projects while ensuring transparent transactions with collateral and fixed swap rates for liquidity providers. With a team of experts in databases and connections, BinStarter has helped 45 projects leading to 37 successful project launches and raising more than $7 million in funding.

The platform offers investors a wide range of benefits, making it a unique and attractive option in the crypto space. One of the key benefits of BinStarter for investors is early access to toptier projects. Through the platform, investors can discover and participate in IDOs before they become widely available on other platforms, giving them a competitive edge.

BinStarter is not just a new creation, but a necessity for liquidity providers to securely transact and access low-cost swap opportunities. It brings the simplicity and ease of participation that crypto investors seek and provides permanent growth opportunities for projects and a safe haven for the community.

With a minimum stake of just 1000 BSR, you can secure guaranteed access to all IDO projects launching on the platform. The allocation size for each project varies, but the larger your stake, the greater your allocation. Additionally, you’ll earn some of the highest staking rewards in the industry. The platform offers 8 different tier levels, each with varying staking requirements and APYs, allowing for a range of staking preferences. The higher the tier, the higher the potential rewards, with APYs reaching up to 160%. Check out the provided table for more information on the specific requirements and rewards for each tier level.

INSURANCE PROTOCOL

Additionally, BinStarter’s use of the Extended Insurance Protocol (EIP) offers protection against volatile markets and unfair launches, providing a safer environment for investors to participate in IDOs while minimizing the risks associated with them.This insurance policy has proven to be highly effective, having already protected over $1 million in investments and enabled investors to recover their investments.

Let’s have a look at the

EXTENDED INSURANCE PROTOCOL

and how it works!

As mentioned earlier, one of the standout features of BinStarter is its Extended Insurance Protocol (EIP) system, The EIP constantly evaluates the performance of a project during the TGE (Token Generation Event) and the price of the token during the entire vesting schedule. If the price of the token remains below the IDO price for 5 days in a row, the EIP is activated.

This protocol creates a highly protected environment for both investors and project owners by adding new topics to the current insurance protocol. As a demonstration of its effectiveness, take the case of Medieval Empires. By utilizing the EIP push and implementing effective marketing strategies as a value-added service, we were able to sell out in just six seconds, particularly in a bear market scenario. This unprecedentedly fast turnaround is a clear indication of the significant advantage provided by the EIP.

The platform has recently implemented a referral system to encourage its loyal users to help grow its community. This system is designed to compensate users who take extra steps toward the platform’s success by inviting new users to join.

The referral system is designed to be simple and straightforward to use. Community members of BinStarter who invite new users to become active community members will have access to two referral links. They can share these links with prospective BSR investors, and if those prospects become real investors on the platform and stake their BSR, the referring user will earn either 1% or 0.5% BSR, depending on the referral link they chose to share.

One of the most unique things about the referral system is that there are no referral limits. This means that users can refer as many people as they want and earn rewards for each successful referral. Additionally, reward transfers are instant, so users can receive their rewards quickly.

The referral system is a win-win for both the platform and its users.

For the platform, it helps to grow its community, which is essential for its success. For users, it provides an additional way to earn rewards for their engagement and support of the platform. Binance’s referral program is widely acknowledged as one of the most successful in its class. It has played a crucial role in expanding Binance’s user base while also offering exceptional benefits to its loyal users.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a retail investor or a project owner - considering BinStarter for your early-stage investment commitments in 2023 is a smart move. It has proven itself to be an outlier in the crypto world, providing access to promising new crypto tokens from various projects while also helping to drive awareness and adoption for those projects.

REFERRAL PROGRAM

TRAILBLAZING APPROACH TOTRAVEL

Even amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, we always believed that travel will remain a huge part of everybody’s lives. The number of digital nomads are increasing, and travelling and living abroad has become the norm.

But the way the travel industry works has largely stayed archaic. Hotel rewards still come in the old-fashioned way of discounts and cashbacksand visitors can’t choose how they want to spend it. Travellers must choose between their favourite countries, because not everyone can afford to buy properties in different places. Timeshares, a 30-yearold business model, has largely stayed the same: fraught with fragmented distribution channels, high annual management fees and lack of transparency.

Staynex’s mission is simple: to revolutionise the traditional real estate and travel industry with blockchain, NFT, and Web3.

The name Staynex is not only unique as to Bonvoy with Marriott, but it also has a double entendre. We want travellers, digital nomads, and investors to Stay’n’Experience, Stay’n’Explore, and Stay’n’Exchange.

But that’s not all.

We’re redefining timeshares in the travel industry. Using Web3 technology, we’ve retained what makes timeshares great, and removed the frictions that have bogged this industry down. Instead of working with intermediaries (which causes marketing costs to skyrocket), we’re eliminating it altogether. Instead of making it accessible only to large hotel chains, we’ve built a model that enables properties of any size to participate. Instead of seeing high management fees, it’s a real-time marketplace that allows users to trade their timeshare products.

HOW?

The Staynex platform helps villas, resorts, and hotels globally to onboard the blockchain by tokenizing “stays” into NFTs.

We’re building a platform were onboarded hotels & resorts can create, design and mint their own Timeshare Programs - on an NFT. This allows hotels to be creative with their offerings, reduces their marketing costs and gives them direct access to customer management and bookings.

With this new and improved timeshare, it allows property owners to:

• Forward-sell nights through timeshare membership products

• Maximise occupancy and growth in bookings.

• Increase in ADR

• Increase in usage of resort facilities (Spa, F&B and special offers)

• Have a global reach through our partnership program (Arsenal FC)

• See an increase in repeated bookings.

The tokenised ‘nights’ become Staynex Passes, which are instantly tradable and swappable (as they are NFTs on the blockchain). And yes, it also means everything is transparent on the blockchain.

Additionally, Staynex also acts as a digital solution. With the platform, property owners have access to a centralised database, where they can see a full overview of their customers, bookings, and management settings.

ARSENAL Working with

Big Dreams Require Bigger Partners

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

When we had this ambitious goal to disrupt the real estate and hospitality industry, we knew we needed help along the way. We couldn’t reach the globe on our own, and if we wanted to drive a larger impact, we knew we had to team up with others to achieve our goal.

Staynex is Arsenal FC’s official hotel and resort membership NFT partner – creating the next generation of vacation clubs.

This partnership is truly one-of-a-kind - it’s rare to see different industries cross paths in this particular way. But for us, the partnership has been a longtime coming. The hospitality industry needs a new way of operating, and travellers (including supporters of football clubs like Arsenal) need a new form of vacation ownership.

As Arsenal’s official hotel and resort membership NFT partner, this means a wide range of endless possibilities for different parties.

WEB A STEP INTO 3

With this partnership, it will be Arsenal’s first ever co-branded NFT collection. This doesn’t just mean there will be a unique collection for the fans, but it’s also a bold step for the football club. With ever-changing technology, the global brands that are winning are the ones exploring the possibilities of new and exciting technology.

The Metaverse and Web3 are such examples, and this is a huge step forward in disrupting the traditional hospitality industry.

For The FANS

With Staynex travellers get access to Staynex pass, a Residence Pass that gives travellers more perks, such as guaranteed annual free nights, property rewards and high store of value. For Arsenal fans, you get so much more.

There will be a unique LABSxArsenal collection of Residence Passes for the supporters, where you can get an integrated travel and fan experience. On top of enjoying your stays at nearby resorts and getting access to unique property rewards, you’ll also get to head to the UK to watch any football matches live and receive exclusive memorabilia. With Staynex, it pays to be a Gooner.

To help, Arsenal FC will be providing us with collaterals, including 1-minute advertisements, home game matches, videos with the first team players and legends. We’re incredibly thankful that Arsenal wants to join us in our journey to not just introduce a new way to travel and own vacation homes, but also to spread our vision on a global scale.

NEXT-GEN Vacation Club

We’re excited to share more about our plans and developments in the coming months

For interested hotel or property owners, we invite you to join us in our journey to disrupt the industry.

Crypto Regulatory Compliance Research

In recent years, the world of blockchain technology has seen tremendous growth and advancements. With this growth, the need for top-notch security has become increasingly vital.

It is in this landscape that BEOSIN has emerged as a standout player, offering cuttingedge solutions that have earned it the reputation of being a leader in the industry.

& GLOBAL BEOSIN BEOSIN SECURITY AML REPORT 2022 2022

was a crazy year for hackers and scammers, as the Global Web3 Security & AML Report 2022, co-produced by Beosin, Buidler DAO, Legal DAO and Footprint, shows that over 167 major attacks in Web3, with a total loss of $3.6 billion from all types of attacks, an increase of 47.4% from 2021. Among these, 10 security incidents lost over $100 million and losses of 21 incidents ranged from $10 million to $100 million.

In 2022, 12 cross-chain bridge security incidents caused a total loss of $1.89 billion, the highest loss among all project types. 5 cross-chain bridge projects lost over $100 million in a single incident: Ronin ($624 million), BSC Token Hub ($560 million), Wormhole ($326 million), Nomad ($190 million) and Harmony ($100 million). The attack types mainly included social engineering, private key compromise, and blockchain / contract vulnerabilities, etc.

20 blockchains have experienced major security incidents in 2022, with the top 3 by amount lost being Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana; and the top three by number of attacks being BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana.

Vulnerability exploits saw the highest frequency and loss amount throughout the year. $1,458 million was lost from vulnerability exploits in 87 attacks.

$1,396 million of stolen funds were transferred to Tornado Cash in 2022, representing 38.7% of all funds lost in attacks. Since Tornado Cash was sanctioned by the US OFAC in August, stolen funds transferred to the mixer have fallen significantly from the first half of the year.

Global crypto crimes amounted to $13.76 billion for 2022 (financial crimes are excluded), with money laundering accounting for $7.33 billion, attacks/exploits $3.6 billion, pyramid schemes $1 billion and scams $830 million.

Among the scams, there were 243 rug pulls throughout 2022, involving a total amount of $425 million (excluding FTX incident). Among them, a total of 8 projects rugged for more than $10 million, while 210 projects (approximately 86.4%) rugged with amounts between $1K - $1M.

In 2022, the crypto market has seen a series of black swan events represented by Three Arrows Capital, Terra LUNA and FTX, ending the year with TVL down approximately 80% from its peak at the beginning of the year.

The past 2022 was a tough year for global Web3 security ecosystem and will place higher and more urgent demands on crypto regulatory compliance in 2023.

Cryptocurrency to use WALLETS BEST 7

When you buy digital currency on a trading platform, or exchange, you may have the option to leave the “keys” to your coins within the account — that’s one form of storage.

But you can also move them off the platform to a personal crypto wallet, which may be software connected to the Internet (a hot wallet) or a completely offline device (cold storage).

Cryptocurrency is reputed for its transparency, but unfortunately, it is also well-known for cybercriminals targeting platforms and exchanges to exploit them. Although exchanges invest some resources to protect their assets, experienced attackers can breach their security walls.

Therefore, we suggest to move your coins to your personal crypto wallet. Below are some of the best crypto wallets that we suggest one can use to store their coins and tokens.

Can be linked to NFT Marketplaces

MetaMask

is one of the most widely used Ethereum wallets, with over 30 million monthly active users. This may be due to its ease of use and accessibility. Metamask supports a broad range of Ethereum-based tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on supported blockchains. Users can add almost any blockchain network to the app. The wallet fully supports popular Web3 networks, including Polygon, Binance Smart Chain and Avalanche. Users can also access popular NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, and swap a variety of collectibles by connecting them directly to the wallet.

Wallet is an excellent wallet for beginners with little to no experience with crypto. The app connects to most major bank accounts, and the user interface was designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate, with a simple three-tab layout and clearly identifiable functions.

Following Coinbase’s typical user-friendly approach, Coinbase Wallet targets beginner users, and most features are just a click or two away. However, Coinbase Wallet still includes some advanced features, like access to decentralized exchanges (DEXs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and an assortment of DeFi protocols.

Coinbase Wallet can be used as a mobile app on iOS or Android or as a web extension on Google chrome and chromium-based browsers like Brave or Microsoft Edge. For most applications, the mobile app offers more functionality, such as the ability to browse available dApps.

Exodus now has apps for iOS and Android and is also compatible with Trezor wallets, a popular hardware wallet brand. Nonetheless, the desktop wallet application — available across Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems — is still the wallet’s core offering and is updated every two weeks.

One of Exodus’ main draws is the number of currencies it supports: more than 260 crypto and NFTs, a larger number than many other hot wallets. This includes established altcoins, such as Ether, Litecoin, XRP and Bitcoin Cash, as well as popular meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
