📌 UPD: The legendary notebook sold for 16 #BTC at auction

This became the most expensive lot in the history of the Scarce․City platform.

🪙 S&P Global states that if the United States passes a new law on stablecoins, it will limit the issuance volume for organizations without a banking license to $10,000,000.

In easy terms, if the #Tether law is passed, it won't be able to print #USDT in the billions anymore 💧

⚡️Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs will officially start trading in Hong Kong on April 30th

🧐 What is the KickEX team's #opinion on this?

Considering the launch of BTC ETFs in the US post-approval, doubts arise that this event will lead to a repetition of the growth we observed previously. However, this is an important step in recognizing cryptocurrencies as a reliable investment tool by institutional investors. It should be noted that investors remember the restrictions on cryptocurrency trading in China, and this event may encourage large investment funds to offer cryptocurrencies to their clients.

However, other events should also be taken into account, such as the comments of the Federal Reserve regarding inflation in the US and their intentions to maintain the interest rate at a high level, which may restrain market participants from active purchases.

In light of these events, the ETH coin may seem more promising for investments since its price has not reached its historical high, unlike BTC, which, after updating its historical highs, paused its growth before the halving.

#Analytics #News

⚡️The first Satoshi from block 840000, where the halving took place, was sold at auction for 33.3 #BTC

Recall that the ability to identify Satoshis and trade them as NFTs emerged after the launch of the Ordinals protocol. Immediately, such "epic" Satoshis became in demand among collectors.

Now solo miners can mine not only a whole bitcoin but also some rare Satoshis. However, the chance for either is exceedingly small 💧

#Opinion

🔮 Analysts believe that based on historical data, the next peak of the bull market may occur 518-546 days after the recent BTC halving.

It will be time to stock up 💰

💼 Bank of New York Mellon noted #BTC #ETFs from #BlackRock and #Grayscale in its asset statement

Exactly as expected — institutions are starting to actively utilize this instrument 🪙

⏺ #Analysis #NEARProtocol

The price of NEAR/USDT, previously within a descending medium-term correction channel, recently managed to break above and establish itself above its upper boundary, which could be considered a signal for a bullish trend reversal.

📈 Breaking and sustaining the price of #NEAR above the nearest resistance level at 7.700 may be seen as confirmation for the start of an upward trend, with initial targets within the range of 8.530 - 9.500.

📉 The nearest support zone is located within the range of levels 6.000 - 6.630, below which the long scenario becomes less probable.

🪙 #BTC is influenced by spot #ETFs

There is a correlation: as soon as demand from ETFs decreases, Bitcoin stops growing.
From January to March, ETFs accumulated more than 200,000 BTC, which triggered the rise from $40,000 to $75,000 📈

📕 What's the most foul three-letter word?

Correct: SEC

But what is this organization and why does it haunt the crypto industry?

The SEC - Securities and Exchange Commission. It was established in the USA in 1934 to restore confidence in the financial markets after the 1929 crash.

Currently, the SEC ensures the integrity of the securities markets, fights fraud, and provides market transparency and fairness.

And in the meantime, the SEC dumps crypto with news of new investigations 💧

How do you feel about the SEC?

We've decided to launch a new section called #Dictionary so that you can learn something new, refresh your memory, or help your hamster friend understand cryptocurrencies 🐹

So, lesson one:

Timeframe — or TF, represents the time interval during which one candle is formed on the chart. TF is mainly divided into:

1. Monthly (1M)
2. Weekly (1W)
3. Daily (1D)
4. 4-hourly (4H)
5. Hourly (1H)
6. 30-minute (30M)
7. 15-minute (15M)
8. 5-minute (5M)

In the comments, we were asked about who could be the creator of #BTC, Satoshi Nakamoto 🤔

We don't know the exact answer, but we decided to conduct a little investigation for you 🔍

There is a version that in the first months after the launch of Bitcoin, Satoshi mined 1 125 150 coins. Their simultaneous sale could cause panic on exchanges and an instant collapse of the digital gold rate, or even the entire crypto industry in general.

Therefore, Satoshi is most likely selling bitcoins gradually to avoid causing significant market movements. This is why crypto enthusiasts closely monitor the coins mined in the early days of Bitcoin's existence. Through these transactions, one can indirectly trace Satoshi's footsteps, and that's why every such transfer becomes news.

For example, in 2020, a transfer of 50 bitcoins was made from a wallet from 2009. The address of this wallet appeared in the legal proceedings of Craig Wright - a man who has repeatedly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but has never been able to prove the authenticity of his statements. In addition, he denies any connection to this transaction.

Let's keep looking 🔦

If we imagine that "Satoshi Nakamoto" is not a fictional pseudonym and try to find a real person with this name, then our search will lead us to a programmer from California of American-Japanese descent named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. The real Satoshi is 67 years old, but he denies any connection to the creator of Bitcoin. However, in the past, he worked on secret government projects and is a recognized expert in physics and mathematics.

And it seems we've uncovered the identity of Bitcoin's father, but...

After the commotion on the internet, the profile of the real Satoshi came alive on the P2P foundation website and left only one message:

"I am not Dorian Nakamoto"

We will continue the investigation tomorrow, stay tuned for updates 🔭

Who is Satoshi? ✏️
Part 2

Another contender for the role of Bitcoin creator is Paul Le Roux, who has been under arrest since 2012 on suspicion of organizing the importation of banned drugs into the US. In 2020, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

But before his legal troubles, Paul was a self-taught programmer, well-versed in encryption, and mainly coded in C++. And it was precisely in this language that Bitcoin was written.

Experienced programmers considered Paul to be gifted and incredibly talented developer. In 1999, Paul wrote a program called E4M for encrypting hard drives. Interestingly, when this program was published, Paul's behavior was identical to Satoshi's behavior during the publication of the Bitcoin code 🤔

Analysis of the writing style of Satoshi Nakamoto and Paul Le Roux also revealed a great similarity in the style of expression and writing of some words. The icing on the cake of the investigation is a fake diplomatic passport for Paul under the name Paul Satoshi Calder Le Roux, which he obtained two weeks before Satoshi's first appearance on the internet.

Many want to consider Satoshi a symbol of freedom and the triumph of technology over government control, a lone enthusiast dreaming of changing the world for the better.
But what if he was actually a criminal genius and a true anarchist trying to create a tool for his illegal activities? 😨

Satoshi disappeared from the internet in 2010, shortly after WikiLeaks started accepting donations in bitcoins. According to Satoshi, this attracted unnecessary attention to cryptocurrency.
Perhaps someday we will learn the truth about the identity of the Bitcoin creator, but for now, everything stated above is nothing more than speculation without concrete evidence 🤷‍♂️

What do you think about all these versions of Satoshi's identity?
