⚠ Memes and NFT attack Bitcoin

It looks like something big and historic is happening to Bitcoin. Commissions on the network have reached enormous values, and it appears that this is not a temporary phenomenon.

The facts:

• The commission per transaction is now over $12, and the commission of the entire BTC network has increased by x15 in one week. The number of unconfirmed transactions in the BTC network exceeded 400,000.
• For the first time in history, the commission in the Bitcoin network exceeded the amount of fees paid for blocks found by miners (6.25 BTC). In other words, the Ordinals/BRC-20 economy now allows miners to earn just as much as they earn from mining.
• The total market value of tokens created by the Ordinals protocol exceeded $970 million (#ORDI leads in the BRC-20 category).

The most important conclusion is that we are likely to face huge commissions in the Bitcoin network on a permanent basis. Soon, the situation will worsen even more. Binance announced that it will add support for NFT on the Bitcoin blockchain, which will make this new marketplace massive.

The situation is also complicated by the fact that the community is divided into two parts: some see what is happening as a disaster, while others insist that it is, on the contrary, a breakthrough and new opportunity for the blockchain economy. For example, the head of Binance CZ believes that this incredible activity is an indicator of a bull market. According to him, the problems of ordinary traders will be solved through the implementation of Lightning technology by Binance. Bitcoin maximalists, on the other hand, believe that there is a spam attack on this payment network.

😲 Shock of the Day

Cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex suddenly filed for bankruptcy after shutting down business in the U.S. amid regulatory pressure.

Bittrex Inc. and several affiliates filed for bankruptcy Monday after their U.S. operations were blocked in late April due to SEC allegations. That bankruptcy, the company said, does not affect its non-U.S. operations. Bittrex Global will continue to operate as usual for customers outside the U.S., the company said in a statement.

However, the market reacted rather nervously to news about the new regulator’s victim; BTC’s price went down to $27k, so it seems that the hunt for crypto businesses by the U.S. continues.

Liechtenstein is going to allow BTC payments in public and private institutions, as well as Bitcoin deposits in the bank. The government is also considering investing public funds in BTC.

[2] 🔔 Bitcoin could fall below $27,000

According to MonoCoinSignal‘s technical analysis, Bitcoin faced downward pressure in the $29,100 to $29,240 resistance range, eventually breaking through that range due to a combination of limited demand and prevailing short-term bearish sentiment.

In the short term, bitcoin has three possible resistance levels, ranging from $28,360 to $28,630. A favorable change in market sentiment or positive news catalysts are needed to overcome these barriers.

If that does not happen, the next potential targets are likely to be the $27,500 and $27,000 price ranges.

It is crucial to keep a close eye on these levels and consider potential market events that could affect Bitcoin’s near-term prospects.
