Bitcoin is in a bull market according to this metric
Bitcoin’s Realized Cap HODL Waves (RHODL), which accurately pinpointed the lowest point of the 2022 bear market, suggests that Bitcoin's upward trend remains robust. Despite a 10% drop in BTC's price last week, the RHODL metric offers a long-term perspective, hinting at the continuation of the current bull market.
Friend.tech, the new decentralized social media app, has made headlines last week, becoming the third biggest cryptocurrency protocol merely ten days post-launch. The platform allows users to buy and sell shares of their friends' Twitter profiles, amassing over $1.42 million in fees within a single day. With a robust backing of high-profile users and celebrities, the app's traction is undeniable. However, it hasn't escaped scrutiny. Critics have labeled it a potential Ponzi scheme, pointing to concerns about the sustainability of its value proposition. They fear that once the initial hype diminishes, a massive sell-off might ensue, leading to significant losses for many involved.
Bitcoin suffered a 5.1% drop last week, intensifying after an hour of intense trading when the Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX adjusted its bitcoin value down by $373 million over the past two years.
