Therefore, the analyst is anticipating a price correction.After surging by more than 16% since Friday and upon reaching $0.39644, Dogecoin has been pushed down by 2.51% today. At the time of this writing, the popular meme cryptocurrency is changing hands at $0.38,680 per coin.Dogecoin creator Billy Markus, who is known on social media as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, reacted to that bullish news in his traditional jesting manner, using memes and highlighting Bitcoin’s price surge above the crucial $100,000 level. In the middle of December, BTC scored a historic peak above $108,000 and had been trading below $100,000 since then, regaining its losses partly now with yesterday’s price surge.While Markus has several times revealed that he holds Bitcoin (0.006 BTC), he does not rely any hopes of becoming a millionaire with it. In his numerous tweets, he has many times expressed a skeptical attitude toward crypto as an investment tool, claiming that nobody really knows why Bitcoin goes up or down and hinting that quitting one’s daily job betting on crypto is not the best idea.This article was originally published on U.Today More

The Executive R0AR Society (ERS) NFT public sale launched yesterday, with over 2,700 tokens sold. The interest in the Ethereum-based tokens is attributed to the utility features offered to token holders.The team envisions the NFTs as a key component of the evolving R0AR DeFi ecosystem, which is being developed with a focus on community involvement. The reason for this community-centric approach comes from the team’s firm commitment to building a decentralized DeFi platform that adheres to the core pillars of Satoshi’s blockchain vision while providing users with clear interfaces, simple on and off-ramps, and high levels of security.The NFTs consist of six features that will be revealed either after all 10,000 tokens are minted or within 90 days of the launch. The delayed reveal is intended to ensure a fair and transparent minting process, preventing early participants from gaining an advantage.In addition, the mint has been designed to prevent sniping from the team or any insiders, meaning that the rarest NFTs in the collection will be randomly distributed, giving everyone the chance to purchase the most valuable of the 10,000 tokens.Over 27% Of R0AR NFTs Minted on First DayInterest in the ERS NFTs has been evident since the start of the mint. Over 27% of the supply was minted in the first 24 hours. During the public sale, the NFTs are traded for 0.014 ETH, with a limit of 25 tokens per wallet address.The R0AR token presale, which has raised $4 million, saw early participants added to a whitelist, allowing them to mint a couple of days prior to the public mint. The team sees this as the first of many rewards that will be available to OG members of the R0AR community.The surge in minting activity has potentially been caused by a combination of short and long-term factors. Some traders are looking to take advantage of the fair mint that gives everyone the same chance of ending up with the rarest tokens in the collection, while long-term investors believe that holding the NFTs from day one will be the best way to maximize crypto rewards.R0AR ERS NFTs and Future Crypto RewardsThe Pudgy Penguin ($PENGU) airdrop has put the concept of dropping new tokens into NFT holder wallets into the spotlight, as the $PENGU token’s market cap has found support above $2 billion.Some early R0AR community members and NFT holders are positioning themselves to potentially benefit from similar airdrops in the future. The R0AR team has emphasized from the beginning that this type of utility aligns with their long-term vision, and the $PENGU drop has highlighted its significance within the NFT market.Other important features are expected to include access to the R0AR Portal, a research and analytics platform that provides valuable insights into various crypto projects. Additionally, NFT holders could potentially benefit from NFT staking opportunities, allowing them to earn rewards and contribute to the platform’s growth. Exclusive features within the DeFi ecosystem related to trading and staking are also anticipated.To learn more about the NFT collection and the OpenSea mint, users can visit the Executive R0AR Society Collection page.About R0ARR0AR is a decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem dedicated to building a comprehensive platform for blockchain-based financial services.

Hanke is known as a vigorous Bitcoin opponent who frequently criticizes the world’s largest cryptocurrency on his X social media account.The prominent U.S. economist said that converting government savings into Bitcoin would put “a drag on the economy” since those savings would not be invested in “real capital assets that produce things.” He compared buying Bitcoin to buying paintings made by Old Masters. Such investment would not be invested in any bankable projects that actually produce anything, he said.“They would not increase productivity and so forth in the economy,” the expert stressed, while it is very important to increase productivity in order to improve standards of living and prosperity in any economy. Hanke underscored that he is “completely opposed” to a potential Bitcoin strategic reserve in the U.S., calling it “the stupidest idea.”And in the tweet that accompanies the video extract, Hanke wrote, emphasizing his thought again: “Savings funneled into Bitcoin aren’t building factories, creating jobs, or driving innovation.”The study claimed that cryptocurrency holders have low analytic and scientific thinking and they are “likelier to exhibit psychopathy than the general population,” Hanke summarized.For completing the study, the researches polled roughly 2,000 Americans. They revealed that crypto holders are inclined to display “dark” personality characteristics, also known as the “Dark Tetrad”: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy and sadism.This article was originally published on U.Today More
