OUR FIRST KISS,

THOSE LATE NIGHT TIGHT HUGS,

OUR LATE NIGHT CONVERSATION,

I REMEMBER THEM ALL

Del Eng

کبھی تو تم کو یاد آئیں گی

ی تو تم کو یاد آئیں گی
وہ بہاریں، وہ سماں
جھکے جھکے بادلوں کے نیچے
ملے تھے ہم تم جہاں جہاں
کبھی تو تم کو یاد آئیں گی
تم سے بچھڑے صدیاں بیتیں، پھر بھی ہمیں یاد آتے ہو
سایہ بن کے، آہٹ بن کے، آج بھی تم تڑپاتے ہو
زندگی کتنی بیزار ہے
تم نے ابھی تو مجھ سے کہا تھا، “تم سے پیار ہے”
کہاں گئیں وہ پیار کی قسمیں؟
پیار کا وعدہ کیا ہوا؟
(بے وفا، بے وفا)
کبھی تو تم کو یاد آئیں گی
جتنا تم کو اپنا سمجھا اُتنے ہی تم بیگانے تھے
ہم نے کیا کیا آس لگائی، ہم کتنے دیوانے تھے
زندگی کتنی بیزار ہے
تم نے ابھی تو مجھ سے کہا تھا، “تم سے پیار ہے”
کہاں گئیں وہ پیار کی قسمیں؟
پیار کا وعدہ کیا ہوا؟
(بے وفا، بے وفا)

You will be missed
Those springs, those skies
Beneath the drooping clouds
We met you everywhere
Someday you will remember
Centuries have passed away from you, but we still miss you
Be a shadow, be a sigh, even today you are in pain
How boring life is
You just said to me, “I love you.”
Where did those vows of love go?
What happened to the promise of love?
(unfaithful, unfaithful)
Someday you will remember
The more you considered yourself, the more you were strangers
What did we do, how crazy we were
How boring life is
You just said to me, “I love you.”
Where did those vows of love go?
What happened to the promise of love?
(unfaithful, unfaithful)

For miners to stay, they need a Bitcoin use case | Opinion

The block subsidy will eventually trend to zero and be cut in half every four years, the most recent being on April 19, 2024. It seeks to maintain miners’ profitability up until the point at which transaction fees on the Bitcoin network are sufficient to support it.

Halving reduces the profitability of miners and could lead to consolidation 

Miners might increase their market share of blocks mined to offset the decrease in revenue per block. They can accomplish this by purchasing new sites, entities, or equipment, or by updating already-existing equipment. The most advantageous miners to make these kinds of investments are those who have been more profitable thus far and those who have amassed reserves of BTC that have appreciated in value.

On the other hand, some businesses—especially those with greater energy expenses—will lose money and collapse. In order to improve the economics of renewable energy projects by stabilizing energy demand, miners will continue to look for partnerships to provide load-balancing to energy grids (ramping up mining rigs at times of surplus supply and shutting them off at times of excess demand). How miners minimize the cost of their energy and control their


What is the current state of transaction activity?


The price of Bitcoin skyrocketed and transaction volumes surged as more institutional investors sought exposure to the currency after the SEC permitted spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US earlier this year. The Lightning Network, a scaling solution built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, witnessed a three-fold increase in its open channels over the course of 2023, indicating some development in the network’s utility, according to a recent study from Chainalysis.
Bitcoin’s important significance in cross-border transfers is also highlighted in a recent working paper by the IMF. However, transaction fees were, on average, only 6% of miner earnings between the adoption of the ETF in January and the halving in April, according to data from Coin Metrics. Miners continue to be heavily reliant on the block subsidies as a result.

 
The reason behind the delayed acceleration of transaction fees in Bitcoin can be attributed to its restricted scalability and functionality in comparison to other blockchains. Since Bitcoin isn’t made to support smart contracts, it can’t take advantage of developments like tokenization, decentralized finance, and stablecoin payments, which are driving interest in alternative chains like Ethereum and Solana. Peer-to-peer bitcoin trading and payments have been the main uses for bitcoin to date, but none of these has shown to be a reliable source of income.


Although there are new use cases, miners still need something to stay with.

 
The introduction of non-fungible token capabilities with the launch of Ordinals inscriptions in 2023 further increased fees. To yet, these developments have resulted in higher transaction fees from trading activity centered around speculative token creation. The addition of these additional features could help Bitcoin overtake other blockchains by facilitating the tokenization of financial markets. Additionally, new layer-2 chains may be able to overcome Bitcoin’s scalability issues and provide overlay functions for the development of defi or tokenization use cases. These chains handle numerous transactions in a batch before settling them as a single transaction on the main blockchain. For these emerging use cases to have a lasting effect, it is imperative that a use case that “sticks” be found prior to the next halving.
Long-term supporters of Bitcoin believe that it will establish itself as a new global reserve asset and function as a genuinely neutral medium of exchange in a global network of artificial intelligence-driven economic agents. The network must be sustained in the interim by miners receiving larger and more consistent transaction payments, which makes the advancement of concrete technological advancements essential.

Principal Learnings

  • This blog post provides an overview of the most important findings in the cryptocurrency markets during the previous month, as reported by Binance Research.
  • April was a difficult month for cryptocurrencies, as the pace from earlier months stalled and the total market capitalization fell by 11.3%.
  •  The DeFi and NFT markets also saw declines, with TVL declining by 0.7% and monthly trading volume falling by 21%, respectively.
 
 
This blog post examines significant Web3 developments in April 2024 to give a general picture of the ecosystem’s present situation. Before giving a sneak peek at the key May 2024 events to watch out for, we examine the performance of the cryptocurrency, DeFi, and NFT markets.
 


Performance of the Crypto Market in April 2024

Cryptocurrency had a challenging month in April, with the overall market value falling 11.3% as the upward momentum from earlier months reversed. This reversal was mostly caused by a slowing in spot bitcoin ETF flows, shifts in rate-cut expectations, and geopolitical uncertainties.
 
 
However, there were also encouraging advancements over the month. On April 30, six distinct spot crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) started trading in Hong Kong following regulatory clearance. Furthermore, the total amount of stablecoins tied to the US dollar hit its greatest level in the previous two years. The steady increase in USDT and USDC stablecoin supplies suggests that the cryptocurrency market is receiving steady inflows of cash.

The majority of the 10 most valuable coins at the end of the month had negative market capitalization. Relative resilience was demonstrated by TON and BNB, which saw gains of 1.0% and a minor decline of 1.4%, respectively. The reason for TON’s outstanding growth is the momentum its ecosystem has been experiencing lately. In April, the network’s total value locked (TVL) and monthly active addresses reached all-time highs. For the previous few months, BNB has remained among the best performers.
In April, ETH and BTC both experienced 8% decreases. Still, Hong Kong’s acceptance of three spot BTC and three spot ETH ETFs was a significant step forward for the two top cryptocurrencies. Greater price drops were seen in XRP and SHIB, which had monthly drops of 17.1% and 19.2%, respectively. Among the top four, DOGE, ADA, SOL, and AVAX showed the worst results, declining by over 30% at the conclusion of the month.

Financial decentralization (DeFi)

April was a quiet month for the DeFi sector, which experienced a 0.7% decline in TVL, in line with general market trends. With a monthly gain of 1000% and a TVL above $1 billion, Merlin Chain—a native Bitcoin layer-2 solution—grew at the fastest rate among the top ten chains. Pendle and Hyperliquid were two of the better achievers in terms of protocols. Pendle’s total trading volume surpassed $15 billion, and its TVL hit $5 billion. TVL for Hyperliquid surpassed $435 million, outpacing that of Near, Aptos, and Cardano.

Volume of monthly NFT trading

              CryptoSlam (April 30, 2024) is the source.

In April, the NFT market saw a 21% monthly drop in overall sales volume, amounting to $1.11 billion. With four of the top five collections by sales volume for the month being Bitcoin-based, Bitcoin collections continued to take center stage. The combined sales volume of these collections—Organals, PUPS, WZRD, and NodeMonkes—was $423 million. Reactions to Ethereum collections were still largely negative.

Bitcoin topped the list with $567 million in NFT sales volumes across the main chains, followed by Ethereum with $241 million and Solana with $153 million. In percentage terms, the entire volume of Bitcoin decreased by 5%, while the substantial losses in Ethereum and Solana were close to or greater than 50%. These figures indicate a recent shift in collectors’ attention toward Bitcoin-based offerings.
