In the opinion of Huobi's co-founder, a bull market in Bitcoin may not occur until the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025, based on previous price cycles. For Du Jun, the halving procedure is a significant factor in bitcoin's bull market cycles. Some so-called miners use powerful computers to solve complicated mathematical riddles and validate transactions on the bitcoin network. As a result, bitcoin is given to the miners. When bitcoin hit an all-time high of $68,000 in 2021, the last halving happened in May 2020. As recently as 2016, an issue comparable to this one occurred. It was a record-breaking year for bitcoin as it hit a new all-time high in 2015. After these two highs, the price of bitcoin dropped.

In 2024, the following half-size reduction will take place. According to this pattern, we won't be able to welcome ...

Microsoft has issued a new security alert about "ice phishing" campaigns targeting blockchain and Web3 users. Technology-based decentralization has the potential to fundamentally alter the way we currently connect. According to Microsoft researchers, there are a variety of phishing attacks based on Web3 and the blockchain.

In this case, the scammers targeted high-value account holders and asked them to sign off on fraudulent transactions. Last year, Badger DAO estimated that $121 million was stolen. There is already a strategy in place for auditing and recouping lost funds.

There is a lot of interest in the concept of the metaverse right now. As a concept, a metaverse does not have a single definition; nonetheless, the basic idea is that it would provide an everlasting virtual world that would tear down barriers between online services and be connected by a single currency. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked about the company's plans for the metaverse and NFTs during a recent Q&A session, but he only addressed the first question. For him, the key to the metaverse's future lies in developing an approach that is "Nintendo-like" in its expression. Nintendo will not join the metaverse bandwagon until they figure out how to harness the metaverse concept to deliver Nintendo's "fresh surprises and fun." However, Bandai Namco, the Japanese video game publisher, has announced the start of a new project. Players of Dark Souls, Dragon Ball Z, or Elden Ring may witness a collision in the metaverse. As part of its new mi...

Analysts say that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) isn't likely to issue its own central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the near future. There are two ways that CBDCs can be used: they can be used to exchange money, or they can be kept as a store of value. Central banks issue and regulate them. Bitcoin, on the other hand, doesn't have to be regulated by the central bank, so it's less volatile than other cryptocurrencies. He says that the BSP doesn't plan on having a CBDC in the near future, but that doesn't mean it won't in the future. There's a chance that the BSP is also thinking about cyberattacks against a wholesale CBDC system. 53 percent of Filipinos have a bank account as of the first quarter of 2021, according to research by Mr. Diokno. By the end of 2023, the BSP wants to have reached 70% of Filipino adults thru this project. In his words, "Self-executing smart contracts have the potential to be beneficial because they can be used to auto...
