BTC price hits 2-month high amid bet Bitcoin will break $32K ‘soon’
Bitcoin( $29,691) tapped $30,000 into the Oct. 20 Wall Street open as analysts directed attention to the weekly close.
In an optimistic longer-timeframe view, trading team Stockmoney Lizards predicted that resistance immediately above $30,000 would soon crack.
Updating a chart fractal comparing BTC/USD in 2023 to its 2020 breakout, analysts argued that the time for significant upside is now. An approval of the United States’ first Bitcoin spot price exchange-traded fund (ETF) would form the clinching factor.
“31/32k will break soon,” part of accompanying commentary read.
“P.S.: Many of you will once more say: ‘But 2020 was after halving, here we are before’ — answer: doesn’t matter. This year mass adoption / ETF approval will be THE driver.”
Ethereum Cofounder Vitalik Buterin Confirms Plans for AI
Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin has shared new revelations that show a possible integration with artificial intelligence (AI) in the mid- to long term. Responding to community members in an ask-me-anything (AMA) session hosted on the decentralized social protocol Warpcast, Buterin said AI remains one of the thoughts that has filled his mind for the past two weeks.
While Vitalik Buterin was not detailed about the specific things he thought about, he said he is considering the ways in which the Ethereum community could productively engage on AI-related issues. Some of the issues he highlighted include X-risk, a concept that showcases how humanity can be harmed on a massive global scale.
In recent times, proponents have been citing how possible Blockchain technology can coexist with AI. Drawing on the revolutionary technology underpinning both concepts, a combination of AI and blockchain has been tipped as a futuristic solution to some of the world’s biggest challenges to date.
While there are a number of crypto projects exploring AI solutions to date, Buterin’s assertion of the concept lends another perspective, considering the role he plays in the broader digital currency ecosystem. The possible timeline of any potential engagement was not revealed, and from his actions, we might expect a detailed blog post in this regard in the future.
‘Magic: The Gathering’ creator’s crypto game lands on Epic Game Store
“Magic: The Gathering” creator Richard Garfield has helped design a blockchain game, and it is launching on the Epic Game Store.
The Dungeons & Dragons-style fantasy card game Garfield created became a massive hit, fostering an ecosystem of players who for years actively bought, sold and traded the game’s physical cards. Garfield is now hoping his digital card game “Brawlers” will also capture gamers’ imaginations.
The player-vs-player game was co-designed by Garfield and developed by fledgling web3 gaming firm Tyranno Studios, which focuses on creating titles on the WAX blockchain.
“Just like traditional physical card games, Brawlers allows people to purchase card sets and use them to play with others, simultaneously retaining full ownership and control over their assets to easily trade or exchange them,” Garfield said in a statement. “This opens up many new opportunities for developers to build successful web3 games with living and breathing economies where each player is a full-fledged participant and avoids all the pitfalls of exploitative microtransactions.”
Refik Anadol NFT collab with Brazilian tribe yields $3.9 million in a week
Cutting-edge artist Refik Anadol’s latest digital art collection dubbed “Winds of Yawanawa” may be the one lone bright spot in an otherwise dim NFT market.
The project, a collection of “data paintings,” has generated $3.9 million (2,493 ether) in sales over the past week, according to OpenSea data. The eruption of interest in Winds of Yawanawa, a collaboration between the Brazilian indigenous community Yawanawa and Anadol, comes amid a broader NFT market downturn that has seen trading volumes plummet by more than 90% since a bull run bolstered by excitement for mostly low-resolution picture-for-profile NFT collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks.
One popular NFT watcher took to X to highlight both the success of Winds of Yawanawa and how large of a portion of overall trading the collection accounted for in a day’s worth of trading.
“Winds of Yawanawa did 451 ETH of volume on OpenSea yesterday, about 25% of the total ETH volume on OpenSea,” posted @punk9059, director of research at Proof Collective, an organization that supports blockchain-powered art. “What’s striking is partially how much [Winds of Yawanawa] is doing, but also how little else is trading.”

SATS rose 250% in two days, what happened to the BRC-20 market?
🚀 XWORLD, the game-changing Web3 App Store & top BRC20 token $SATS, are ready to take the next big leap! 🚀
Join the Quest Treasure Hunt NOW and embark on an epic adventure to hunt for the 1.5 billion $SATS !!!!
https://xworld.store/en-US/quest
Recently, the BRC-20 token sats has continued to rise. Coingecko data shows that in the past half month, the price of sats has been hovering around 0.00000002 USDT for a long time. In the past two days, the price has climbed rapidly, reaching a maximum of 0.00000007 USDT, with a maximum increase of nearly 250%. What has happened in the BRC-20 market recently?
Meme coins that Impossible to mint
When it comes to sats, the biggest impression people have on it is its extremely large supply. The total supply of sats is 2,100,000,000,000,000, which is 2,100 trillion, which is 100 million times that of Bitcoin.
Therefore, at the beginning of its launch, many users did not believe that this BRC-20 token would eventually be fully minted. But the enthusiasm of users is powerful, and sats, a meme named after Satoshi Nakamoto, was eventually fully minted.
On September 24, the casting progress of sats reached 100%, with the total number of castings reaching 21,107,258 times and 36,061 holders. The casting started on March 9, 2023 and took a total of 6 months.
Judging from the number of participants, there are enough sats, which to a certain extent represents sufficient "decentralization". Moreover, the token name itself is an "innate advantage", which also gives sats a certain advantage in the competition on the meme track.
Meme coins turned into utility tokens
As the scale of the sats community expands, UniSat, the largest wallet developer in the BRC 20 ecosystem, has also taken a fancy to this "hot potato". The UniSat team is trying to empower sats and increase application scenarios. (note: UniSat Wallet is a Chrome plug-in wallet for the BTC ecosystem, helping users store, mint and transfer BRC-20 tokens, including buying and selling BTC, NFT, domain names, etc.)
The story of Meme coin "empowerment" is not the first time it has happened in the crypto world. Previously, DOGE and SHIB had once triggered heated discussions in the market for "issuing chains". The story this time comes from the fee consumption of swap. In UniSat's latest brc20-swap, sats will be charged as a handling fee, which will cause users to consume a lot of sats.
UniSatWallet stated that brc20-swap will charge a 0.3% service fee to all users participating in the transaction. About 1/6 (0.05%) of this fee is collected by UniSat, and the remaining 5/6 (0.25%) is allocated to each trading pair. All liquidity providers. This fee structure is primarily based on the rate scale currently used by UniSwap. Regarding the use of handling fees, UniSat will donate 2% of its income to L1F (Layer1Foundation). In addition, UniSat will open the fully interpreted and verified source code of brc20-swap to facilitate early support of the indexer.
At present, the brc-20 protocol and even the entire Ordinals ecosystem are still in their early stages, and UniSat occupies a huge market share and influence. Sats is favored by UniSat and provides itself with great positive expectations. OKX data shows that sats generated approximately US$2 million in trading volume in the past 24 hours.
BRC20-swap went online with twists and turns
Previously, due to the "original" user experience and poor liquidity, brc-20 tokens still belonged to the "small circle" niche track, and the lack of infrastructure made it difficult for EVM whales to enter. The opening of UniSat's brc20-swap has opened a channel for more users to enter the Bitcoin ecosystem and trade BRC-20 tokens. The launch of this product has also experienced some setbacks.
On September 27, UniSat Wallet announced the launch of the brc 20-swap testnet, where users can mint BRC-20 tokens, deposit, trade and increase liquidity on its testnet.
On October 10, UniSatWallet announced the release schedule of the brc20-swap mainnet, which is planned to be launched on October 25.
On October 22, UniSat itself encountered technical difficulties. Some users discovered that different markets are using different versions of ord, which index different inscription numbers. Before MagicEden, OKX and UniSat Wallet all used the same ordinal number, there was a risk of double spending when trading BRC-20.
UniSat later issued a response on . We are monitoring the work of contributors and indexers and will promptly notify our users." On the same day, Magic Eden suspended BRC-20 trading.
On October 25, the original scheduled mainnet launch time for brc20-swap has arrived. However, UniSat delayed the launch of the product and postponed its mainnet launch to October 31. At the same time, it stated that during the initial mainnet launch, the team will continue to distribute Prime Access for free; as more users join, the team The performance of the system will be closely monitored and any issues that may arise promptly addressed; after a series of iterations, all features will eventually be made available to all users.
On November 1, Beijing time, the brc 20-swap mainnet was officially launched. However, unlike common "permission-free" DEXs, brc20-swap still requires a certain "permission" before trading can be started.
Among the first batch of online assets, UniSat has included 14 inscription assets in the first batch of support lists for the brc20-swap mainnet, namely: sats, ordi, trac, oshi, btcs, oxbt, texo, cncl, meme, honk, .bit, vmpx, pepe, mxrc. Specifically, asset open trading adopts an "on-demand transaction" model: only when a new user deposits relevant assets into brc20-swap, the withdrawal request can be used.
It seems too early to draw a conclusion on how far the BRC-20 ecology can go. It might as well let the bullets fly for a while and wait for development.
