Bitcoin ETFs are, in fact, not new. They’ve been trading around the world for years.

This event, known as “halving,” has garnered attention due to its potential implications for the price dynamics of Bitcoin. Proponents argue that the reduction in the rate of new supply entering the market should theoretically drive up prices, given constant or increasing demand. However, skeptics question the extent to which halving events truly impact the price of BTC, pointing to the complexities of market dynamics and the role of various external factors.

The Runes protocol, a new standard for creating and transferring interchangeable tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain, signifies the influx of more developers and users into the Bitcoin ecosystem, potentially bringing additional revenue to miners. However, like its predecessor, the Runes protocol has sparked some controversy, with some Bitcoin purists expressing concerns that token creation may negatively impact the essence of Bitcoin. This article will delve into the details of the Runes protocol, guiding readers through the discussion.

Bitcoin Runes is an innovation on the Bitcoin blockchain that allows for the creation of fungible tokens and community-driven projects. In contrast to BRC-20 tokens, Bitcoin Runes aims to simplify token creation and reduce network congestion issues. Runes are created, minted, and transferred through runestones stored in Bitcoin transaction outputs. The Bitcoin Runes protocol is still in its early development stages, so significant changes may occur.

The prediction market is witnessing new developments, with AI emerging as a key and core component. It can address disputes, provide targeted event recommendations, and manage liquidity, offering comprehensive predictions for the prediction market. AI can also reduce risks and enhance price stability through LMSR AMM models and reinforcement learning agents.

This piece sheds light on several BTC-related public chain initiatives that have garnered venture capital backing, including BounceBit, Merlin Chain, B² Network, BOB, and Mezo. These ventures seek to broaden Bitcoin's applicability, leveraging its security to forge standalone POS public chains and bolstering their ecosystems with innovations like Restaking and zk-Rollups. Collaborating with giants like Binance, BounceBit, and featuring high Total Value Locked (TVL), Merlin Chain employs a unique hybrid Rollup structure. Meanwhile, B² Network aspires to be at the forefront of Bitcoin's Layer 2 solutions, BOB methodically integrates Bitcoin's security features, and Mezo, crafted by the tBTC team, champions a Proof of HODL consensus model. The narrative underscores the pivotal role of financial backing over technical prowess for these projects. For the average investor, engaging in airdrops and rewards programs emerges as a viable profit-making strategy.

As the global economy continues its transition from physical to digital, there is a high probability that the use of Bitcoin's global decentralized monetary system will continue to increase, potentially positioning Bitcoin on par with traditional hedge assets. The article analyzes the independence of Bitcoin from other asset classes and its adaptation to continuously changing interest rate policies in the market, as well as the risks and fluctuations it may face in the future.

This article will introduce the core mechanisms and staking strategies of Solv Protocol, StakeStone,, and Avalon Finance, as well as how they collaborate to "feast on multiple dishes" within the Merlin ecosystem.

Mezo adopts the "Proof of HODL" mechanism, where users protect the network by locking in BTC and MEZO tokens and validating transactions through CometBFT consensus. When the Mezo mainnet launches, users can contribute to network security through HODL proof and earn rewards as a return. The document provides a detailed introduction to this promising project. Mezo can be compared to Blast on Ethereum.

This article summarizes 9 indicator signals for readers to reference in judging Bitcoin's cyclical trends, including RSI, moving averages, rainbow charts, and more, all effectively providing readers with market sentiment and data information.

Explore the exciting world of Bitcoin DeFi! This comprehensive guide delves into the top Bitcoin DeFi projects, their functionalities, and the future prospects of Bitcoin in decentralized finance.

The article provides an in-depth exploration of the development history of Bitcoin technology, especially its challenges in handling large-scale applications and transaction scale. The article analyzes the limitations of Bitcoin's original technology, such as the UTXO model, non-Turing complete scripting language, and the history and reasons of Bitcoin forks. Subsequently, the article introduced in detail several key technologies in the development of Bitcoin, including OP_RETURN, Segregated Witness (Segwit), Taproot technology, as well as Schnorr signatures, MAST and Taproot Scripts. The article also discusses new Bitcoin-based protocols such as Ordinals, Inscriptions, and BRC-20, and how they promote the development of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Finally, the article looks forward to the potential applications of new technologies and their possible impact on future development.

This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the logic and challenges behind choosing the RGB protocol, and provide a detailed introduction to how the RGB++ protocol works, its position in the market, and how it may change the way we understand and utilize Layer 2 solutions.

The article discusses the phenomenon of skyrocketing network fees following Bitcoin's halving, pointing out its correlation with the introduction of a new protocol called "Runes." Runes is a color coin protocol based on Bitcoin, which allows the issuance of tokens on Bitcoin's UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) set. Due to the mechanics of the Runes protocol, users compete for block space to issue assets, which in turn drives up transaction fees. The article also addresses related game theory issues, including asset issuance sniping and second-order games, where participants compete by raising fees, but this can ultimately lead to irrational outcomes. The author argues that the current pace of Runes asset issuance is unsustainable and predicts that this situation will not last long.
