Bitcoin's Blockchain Growth Accelerates With Trend of Ordinal Inscriptions


The Bitcoin blockchain has 40.49 gigabytes (GB) to go until it reaches half a terabyte (TB), and with the recent trend of Ordinal inscriptions, it’s likely to get there faster. The average block size reached a high of 2.52 megabytes (MB) on Feb. 12, 2023, but block sizes have subsided and dropped to an average of 1.634 MB by Feb. 27. Still, the blockchain grew at a rate of 0.288 GB per day, compared to the previous rate of 0.173 GB per day recorded before the Ordinal inscription trend began.

XRP Price Prediction as $600📈

As XRP records a $600 million trading volume, investors are wondering if the cryptocurrency can reach $10 in 2023. This XRP price prediction is fueled by recent developments in the XRP ecosystem, as well as a broader surge in the cryptocurrency market.

However, there are also factors that may limit XRP's growth potential.

⚔️Crypto investors have been following Ripple's legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for over two years. The SEC filed a complaint against Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP, claiming that the cryptocurrency is a security and that Ripple offered it to investors without legal registration. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict the outcome of the legal case.

🎓On February 23, cryptocurrency advocate and lawyer John Deaton proposed a scenario that could expedite a settlement if needed. Deaton tweeted that he believes Ripple's attorney will strongly advise a settlement if the SEC accepts in writing that all current and future XRP transactions are not securities. Deaton also expressed confidence that Ripple will emerge victorious and that the Supreme Court would not uphold the SEC's overreach.

Lightning Network reaches all-time high in bitcoin capacity

Lightning Network, a Layer 2 payment network built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, has reached an all-time high in terms of capacity, or the amount of bitcoin (BTC) locked in payment channels.The payment channel capacity on the Lightning Network has grown 63% since the beginning of last year, according to data from The Block Research.

The Lightning Network is a second-layer payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, designed to enable fast and cheap micropayments by allowing participants to transact directly without the need for immediate settlement on the blockchain. It operates as a network of bi-directional payment channels between participants, allowing for off-chain transactions that are eventually settled on the Bitcoin blockchain. which allows it to handle high amounts of low-value transfers without having to broadcast every transaction to the Bitcoin main network.

🇫🇷 France passes new crypto registration rules for firms

The French National Assembly passed a set of licensing rules for crypto firms operating in the country as part of a broader bill aimed at harmonizing French law with European Union standards. Crypto firms in France dodged far tougher provisions proposed in response to the collapse of FTX.

The final National Assembly vote tally was 109 in favor to 71 against. The French Senate already passed the bill, so it will travel next to French President Emmanuel Macron, who has 15 days to either approve it or send it back to the legislature, though the bill is expected to become law. Following an industry push, the provisions will take a milder form than French policymakers originally proposed amid a regulatory push after the collapse of FTX — taking a step toward broader anticipated EU rules.

💰 Bored Ape Yacht Club Creator Yuga Labs Reveals First Bitcoin NFT Project

Yuga Labs, the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, announced the release of a new bitcoin-based NFT collection called TwelveFold. The collection will consist of 300 generative art pieces inscribed onto satoshis on the Bitcoin blockchain. building on the recent uptick in ordinal NFTs.

Inscriptions, also known as digital artifacts, are created when a file, such as an art image like those created for TwelveFold, is written (or inscribed into) units of Bitcoin called satoshis, the smallest individually identifiable units of Bitcoin. The process is made possible through the Ordinal Theory protocol, with such NFTs simply donning the name "ordinals.". Ordinals have gained popularity as upgrades to the Bitcoin blockchain made it cheaper to store data in single transactions. In January, for example, someone minted a copy of the 100 Ether Rocks — one of the oldest Ethereum NFT projects.

🪙 Solo Bitcoin Miner Solves Block With Hash Rate of Just 10 TH/s, Beating Extremely Unlikely Odds

A
solo Bitcoin miner with an average hashing power of just 10 TH/s (terahashes per second) won the race to add block 772,793 to the Bitcoin blockchain on Friday. At the time the block was added, Bitcoin's total hash rate was just over 269 exahash per second.

Despite the odds stacked against them, the solo miner was the first to produce a valid hash for the block to be mined. In return, the miner received 98% of the total 6.35939231 BTC allotted for the block reward and fees. The remaining 2% went to Solo CK Pool, an online mining service that facilitates individual mining. Bitcoin, the miner must be the first to calculate a valid hash for the block, which can only be discovered using brute computational force.

📊 GBTC trading at 45% discount to NAV less than a week from SEC trial

Grayscale presents oral arguments against the Securities and Exchange Commission, the discount price of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) traded at at a low of 45.9% relative to net asset value on Thursday, according to data from The Block. The GBTC discount hit an all-time low on Dec. 13.

GBTC trades at a discount to the NAV of the fund, since holding shares in the fund doesn't grant the holder access to its underlying assets. Until early 2021, shares in the fund traded at a premium before flipping to a discount. As a result, the market price of GBTC shares is more than 47% lower than the value of the bitcoin in the fund or its NAV. The fund will appear in the District of Colombia Court of Appeals this Tuesday March 7, contesting the Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision from June 2022.

​​Decentralized storage platform introduces perpetual storage and community satellites.🧐

The latest update incentivizes the community to participate in the ecosystem and make enterprise storage viable for all.

Decentralized storage networks are getting increasingly popular over mainstream centralized providers, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. The primary reason for the shift is the low cost of operations and security.

Some notable decentralized storage platforms are Filecoin, Sia, BitTorrent and Storj. 😏Among these platforms, Storj has developed a new scalable solution called Storj Next, promising more scalable decentralized solutions for Web2 and Web3 firms. With a focus on community building, the latest upgrade introduces a new economic model that enables broader participation in the Storj ecosystem.

👉Storj is a decentralized system for digital file storage that utilizes unused storage on computers worldwide with the help of encryption and blockchain. It breaks the uploaded data into smaller fractions and distributes it across the network so that no single company or organization can access all uploaded data.

The decentralized storage platform is introducing a new crypto-enabled perpetual storage feature, where dedicated wallet addresses for Storj accounts can unlock perpetual storage. Using Ethereum smart contract payments with the platform’s native Storj (STORJ) cryptocurrency, the feature will allow network participants to be rewarded for depositing STORJ.

💁The new model will accommodate the storage needs of node operators and independent satellite operators. Storj claimed its latest update would allow Web2 and Web3 businesses to reduce cloud costs without sacrificing reliability or performance.

The latest update will also enable staking, allowing node operators and community satellites to make way for passive income for network participants.

​​Binance recommends P2P as Ukraine🇺🇦 suspends hryvnia use on crypto exchanges.

Following the temporary suspension from Ukraine’s central bank🇺🇦, crypto exchanges like Binance and Kuna made official announcements informing investors about the inconvenience.

Ukraine temporarily suspended the use of its national currency, the hryvnia, via banking cards for fiat deposits and withdrawals on crypto exchanges. While the move immediately impacted how investors move funds to and from exchanges, Binance reminded users about how peer-to-peer (P2P) services come in handy when trading cryptocurrencies.

Following the temporary suspension from Ukraine’s central bank, crypto exchanges like Binance and Kuna made official announcements informing investors about the inconvenience. 💁Michael Chobanian, the founder of local crypto exchange Kuna, acknowledged the service disruption. However, he said he would explain the nuances of the development later.

Chobanian further pointed out how such regulatory decisions have no impact on the Bitcoin ecosystem and added that:

“Regarding the hryvnia card and input/output to the exchange. Yes, it doesn’t work … We are looking for ways out of the situation, under the threat of stopping the entire Ukrainian crypto/card UAH market translation.”

🧐Binance acknowledged the problem as regulators suspended the use of hryvnia on crypto exchanges. However, Binance had an alternative solution:

“We suggest using the P2P service so that you can continue to use Binance comfortably.”

The crypto exchange utilized the occasion to inform users that P2P services allow users to exchange crypto and fiat currencies directly with other users without needing a middle-person like banks.

🔍Ukraine’s anti-crypto stance comes as a shock considering the country netted over $70 million in crypto donations since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

“If we used the traditional financial system, it was going to take days. We were able to secure the purchase of vital items in no time at all via crypto, and what is amazing is that around 60% of suppliers were able to accept crypto, I didn’t expect this,” said Ukrainian deputy digital minister Alex Bornyakov on Feb. 24.🙂

💰 Bitcoin on a bullish streak in January 2023

Bitcoin may shortly match its historic 15-day winning streak if its upward price trend persisted. Around the $21,450 and $21,500 levels, Bitcoin appeared to come up against a significant obstacle.

If its upward price trend continues, the first cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin [BTC], will soon match its historic 15-day winning run. The longest price change in Bitcoin’s history occurred on November 2013, lasting for 15 days. Now, a decade later, BTC was close to breaking its 2013 record, as the king coin was 14 days into its winning streak at press time. Consequently, it reached four-month highs.

Crypto Experts are Stocking Up on This New Altcoin With Less Than 24 Hours Before Its Presale Ends – Here’s Why.

With only hours remaining in the presale, the sustainable cryptocurrency IMPT has raised over $18.6 million, with $1 million per day coming in in the final days as crypto experts and influencers spread the project's virtues online.

IMPT io will connect shoppers globally with environmental projects supported by numerous retail brands. Each time a user makes a purchase through IMPT, money is donated towards climate change solutions and shoppers gain rewards.

Crypto Experts Weigh in on Top Sustainable Crypto Presale
'CryptoHeroesLIVE', one of Germany's top crypto analysts, reviewed IMPT as a high-potential project yesterday when the presale had brought in $17.1 million. Then India's top cryptocurrency influencer 'Wise Advice' posted a video later in the day when the presale had raised $17.3 million.

Then, CryptoNews analyst Jacob Bury posted an IMPT update today when IMPT was close to raising $18 million dollars.

"I'm very, very bullish on everything in the ecosystem," Bury said in the video update. "Tokenomically it's amazing, the white paper looks great, the VCM (voluntary carbon market) is expected to grow massively by 2030, and of course, investing in the IMPT token means you're really aligning your investment decision with your moral framework. It's really good to know you're participating in something that is helping save the planet."

On Friday, the IMPT team delivered a keynote speech at the World Blockchain Summit in Thailand. That presentation may have caught the attention of crypto whales as new token presales that feature a fully doxxed and professional team often perform well not only during an IEO but also in the long term.

On Saturday night, as news of IMPT continued to spread internationally, investors poured an additional million dollars into the presale.

IMPT will list on exchanges at $0.0253 USD, 10% higher than the final presale price. IMPT token holders will be able to trade their tokens on LBank and Changelly soon after the end of the presale, with more listings currently being finalized.

🪙 Bitcoin Mining Became Greener and More Efficient in 2022

Bitcoin’s sustainable energy mix is roughly 58.9% sustainable as of Q4 2022. Despite much turmoil in 2022, the Bitcoin mining industry’s hashing technology only continued to grow more efficient throughout the year, according to a new survey from the Bitcoin Mining Council (BMC).

In a press release on Thursday, the BMC confirmed that its members’ hashrate has increased from 95 exahashes from its inception in Q1 2022 to 119 exahashes by Q4 2022. An exahash is equal to 1 quintillion hashes – answers to a complex math problem produced by miners in a race to create Bitcoin’s next block. A higher hashrate forces Bitcoin’s difficulty to adjust higher, increasing the network’s security and settlement assurance. Powering those computers costs a lot of electricity, but the BMC argues that its electricity sources are primarily clean.
