The head of research at the on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant has explained why selling pressure from Bitcoin traders may be declining. Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Realized Price Has Risen To $60,000 In a new post on X, CryptoQuant head of research Julio Moreno has discussed why the short-term holder selling pressure may be declining for BTC. The “short-term holders” (STHs) refer to the Bitcoin investors who have been holding onto their coins since less than 155 days ago. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Always Sell Into Halvings, Is This Time Any Different? The STHs include the “traders” of the market who make many moves within short periods and don’t tend to HODL their coins. This group can be quite reactive to market movements, easily panic selling whenever a crash or rally takes place. Generally, investors in profits are more likely to sell their coins, so one way to gauge whether the STHs would be likely to take part in a selloff is through their profit/loss margin. Here, Moreno has cited the profit/loss margin of this cohort based on its realized price. The realized price of the group appears to have been going up in recent weeks | Source: @jjcmoreno on X The STH realized price (highlighted in pink) here refers to the average cost basis or acquisition price of the investors part of this cohort calculated using blockchain transaction history. When the spot value of the cryptocurrency is above this level, it means that these holders as a whole are sitting on some net profits right now. On the other hand, the price being below the metric implies the dominance of losses. From the above chart, it’s visible that Bitcoin has been above the STH realized price for the last few months, meaning that these traders have been enjoying profits. This is typical during bull markets as the price keeps pushing up, letting these investors make profits. While STHs tend to stay in the green in these periods, tops do become probable to take place if these profits get extreme. As is apparent in the graph, the profit/loss margin spiked to significant levels just as BTC set its latest all-time high, which continues to be the top thus far. Related Reading: Chainlink (LINK) Forms Bullish Pattern That Led To 50% Rally On Average Recently, as Bitcoin has consolidated between the $60,000 to $70,000 range, the STH realized price has rapidly risen, now attaining a value of around $60,000. This occurs because as STHs have traded in this range, their acquisition prices have been repriced at these higher levels, thus pushing up the average. BTC has been quite close to this level recently so that the STHs wouldn’t be holding that much profit now. “Bitcoin selling pressure from traders may be declining as unrealized profit margins are basically zero now,” notes the CryptoQuant head. BTC Price Bitcoin has continued to show action contained within its recent range as its price is still trading around $65,200. Looks like the price of the asset has rebounded in the past day | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView Featured image from Kanchanara on Unsplash.com, CryptoQuant.com, chart from TradingView.com

In this section, we first evaluate our approach on ARC, comparing it to existing approaches in terms of success rates, efficiency, model complexity, and model naturalness. We then evaluate the generality of our approach beyond ARC by applying it to a different domain, spreadsheets, where inputs and outputs are rows of strings. Our experiments were run with single-thread implementations on Fedora 32, Intel Core i7x12 with 16GB memory. We used one run per task set as there is no randomness involved.

I'm speaking with LAN, the Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of BIT Exchange. Today, we delve into their personal blockchain journey and explore the strategic decisions behind introducing new trading markets and innovating and adapting to stay ahead in the rapidly changing crypto space. Please tell us about yourself and what you do at BIT Exchange I’m the Co-founder & Chief Operating Officer at BIT and have previously worked at Bitmain and Matrixport. \ I joined Bitmain in 2018. When Bitmain launched Matrixport in 2019, I joined Matrixport as part of the founding team. I served as the product leader of the trading department, where I helped design the first structured digital currency product for dual-currency wealth management. \ Matrixport initiated BIT in November 2019 and launched it in August 2020. As a co-founder of BIT, I now lead its strategic direction, encompassing business growth, product development, and operations. \ Can you explain the decision-making process that led BIT Exchange to introduce new trading markets? \ BIT Exchange is constantly exploring opportunities to expand our offerings and provide diverse investment options for our users. Our decision to introduce new trading markets, such as the one for EigenLayer Points (ELP), comes from our commitment to pioneering innovation in the crypto space and ensuring broader access to the growing crypto economy for both retail and institutional investors. \ The crypto market evolves fast, from ICO to IEO, to IDO. People fight for whitelists, staking opportunities, and early minting opportunities in inscription space. As a centralized exchange, we need to start building infrastructure for the next asset issuance trend. Just like how exchanges built launchpads in 2020, we need to build the infrastructure for Pre-market listing now, which we believe will see increased demand. \ How do you assess the interest from both retail and institutional investors? Interest from Retail and Institutional often goes hand in hand. Retail looks at institutional portfolios, and institutional looks at on-chain wallet numbers as a benchmark for retail popularity. \ We've observed significant interest from both retail and institutional investors in emerging protocols like EigenLayer. Retail investors are drawn to the potential for earning rewards by participating in new projects early on, while institutional players are increasingly recognizing the value of diversifying their portfolios with exposure to new and cutting-edge DeFi applications. \ Can you describe BIT Exchange's approach to identifying and launching new trading markets? What criteria do you use to determine which markets to enter? \ BIT Exchange adopts a proactive approach to identifying and launching new trading markets. We closely monitor market trends, engage with our user community to understand their preferences, and collaborate with leading projects to bring exciting opportunities to our platform. \ Our criteria for entering new markets are multifaceted, focusing on factors such as project innovation, market demand, user engagement, and regulatory compliance. We prioritize projects with strong fundamentals and the potential to drive meaningful value for our users. \ Are you bullish on EigenLayer? If so, why? \ We are indeed bullish on EigenLayer due to its groundbreaking approach to re-staking and enhancing network security within the Ethereum ecosystem. EigenLayer's ability to attract over $12 billion in total value locked demonstrates its traction and future potential for reshaping the DeFi landscape. \ Can you describe the decisions that led BIT to launch the EigenLayer Points (ELP) market? \ The decision to launch the EigenLayer Points (ELP) market aligns with our mission to provide early access to promising projects for our user base. By offering trading for ELP ahead of the token generation event, we enable our users to participate in the EigenLayer ecosystem early on. \ There are many pre-listing opportunities however we also need to identify trusted partners who are selling these points. It is a long due diligence process to investigate which are the popular points that are reliable and who would like to sell in the pre-market. \ Could you explain the significance of launching the EigenLayer Points market on BIT Exchange? What opportunities does this provide for early adopters? \ Opening the EigenLayer Points market on BIT Exchange is a big step forward. We're the first exchange to do it, showing we're leading the pack in making new crypto opportunities available to more people. \ This provides them with a head start in engaging with a promising protocol and potentially benefiting from its growth. \ What are some operational challenges involved in being the first centralized exchange to offer a new product like EigenLayer Points? \ Being the first centralized exchange to offer a product like EigenLayer Points comes with operational challenges such as ensuring reliable security measures and sufficient liquidity, keeping trading fees at competitive levels, and educating users about the new market. However, we are committed to overcoming these challenges to provide a seamless trading experience for our users. \ With the upcoming EigenLayer airdrop being highly anticipated, how is BIT preparing to support its users through this event? \ As the EigenLayer airdrop approaches, BIT Exchange is actively preparing to support our users through this event by providing relevant information, facilitating trading, and ensuring the smooth distribution of airdropped tokens to eligible holders. \ It is mostly bookkeeping work, when the token is airdropped, we need to understand the airdrop rules, and conversion rate. The token would be in the Exchange wallet and then distributed to users’ accounts according to their points portfolio. \ Can you discuss any recent upgrades or innovations in BIT’s trading platform that have been particularly impactful? \ Recently, BIT Exchange has made significant upgrades to our trading platform, particularly in the BRC-20 sector. We've empowered our users with the ability to drive new BRC-20 listings through organic community in-app votes, building a more inclusive and community-driven environment. \ Are there any industry trends or technologies that BIT is particularly focused on to stay ahead of the competition? \ We're also focused on staying ahead of the competition by embracing more crypto-native features such as staking. Back in Feb 2024, we began offering staking services for projects like Merlin Chain, for example, enabling our users to participate in that particular airdrop while earning rewards and contributing to the growth of the Merlin ecosystem. \ Looking ahead, what new types of tokens is BIT Exchange considering? Looking ahead, BIT Exchange is considering listing new types of tokens with a strong focus on our community-led approach. We listen to our users and give them a say in what gets listed on our platform. This way, we ensure that we're offering assets that truly resonate with our community's interests.

From X to the Online World As I landed on X December last year, I encountered a dynamic community of entrepreneurs sharing content, exchanging insights, narrating their experiences, and marketing their products. The sheer volume of activities made it challenging to stay abreast of everyone's endeavors and the content they shared. Unlocking X’s Potential Viewed through the lens of an independent entrepreneur, the platform offers the distinct advantage of a rich learning environment. Despite the varying degrees of relevance in the shared content, a noteworthy aspect is the "Give vs. Ask" ethos, expounded upon in the insightful piece titled "Promoting on Reddit (or Anywhere) By Giving Before Asking," penned by Bill Prin. Here, the act of entrepreneurs sharing their learnings, data, or product statistics represents a 'Give,’ while the promotion of their product is an 'Ask'’ The true value of time spent on X hinges on the prevalence of 'Give' content. But, the reality is that the recurrence of similar ideas dilutes the impact of the platform. The Double-Edged Sword of X If this is the benefit of X, the downside is that you become one among many entrepreneurs. If you want people to notice your stuff, you have to do a lot of giving and always be honest. I don't mind being honest and giving, but the thing is, it takes up a lot of time. Marc Louvion said in one of the promotional videos that he spends 5 hours a day on X. I’m pretty sure this can be a valid approximation, and I don’t want to spend that much time on X. I decided to add a website tracker extension on Google Chrome and Firefox. This tool aims to provide insights into my time spent on browsers, helping me make informed decisions to maximize my productivity. Strategic Spots for Startup Promotion In this X journey, I stumbled upon this tweet: \ Guess what? Some entrepreneurs out there are selling lists of places to promote your startup. I did some detective work on Google and found a bunch of websites sharing these lists. Check out the ones I looked into: \ 500+ Places to Promote Your Startup 75+ Places to Promote Your Startup for Free Top 20 Sites to Submit Your Startup to Promote It in 2024 Top 14 Sites to Promote Your Startup 89 Places to Promote Your Startup \ My goal throughout this journey was to amplify the reach of my projects without breaking the bank. While paid promotion options exist, I decided to steer clear, considering my budget constraints. These lists I found have a mix of everything—some duplicates, some websites that aren't around anymore, and some with dark patterns like making you fill out a bunch of info and then springing a surprise payment on you. I spent quite a few hours sorting through all of this to figure out which websites let you submit your startup. I hope that I can save some time for folks who want to get their app out there. I've even included the ones that want you to pay for a speedy listing or make you wait for months before they showcase your startup. \ Here's the list: \ https://alternativeto.net/ https://apprater.net/ https://appsumo.com/ https://awesomeindie.com/ https://betalist.com/ https://crazyaboutstartups.com/ https://ctrlalt.cc/ https://fazier.com/ https://feedmystartup.com/ https://financesonline.com/ https://launched.io/ https://lazyhunt.com/ https://microlaunch.net/ https://owwly.com/ https://peerlist.io/ https://pitchwall.co/ https://portal.10words.io/ https://sell.g2.com/create-a-profile https://startupbase.io/ https://startupbuffer.com/ https://startupinspire.com/ https://startupstash.com/ https://wellfound.com/ https://www.affordhunt.com/ https://www.allstartups.info/ https://www.betabound.com/ https://www.betafy.co/ https://www.crunchbase.com/ https://www.f6s.com/ https://www.feedough.com/ https://www.gartner.com/en/digital-markets/basic-listing https://www.indiehackers.com/ https://www.insanelycooltools.com/ https://www.launchingnext.com/ https://www.producthunt.com/ https://www.saasprojects.com/ https://www.sideprojectors.com/#/ https://www.slant.co/ https://www.startupranking.com/ https://www.startups.fyi/ https://www.trustpilot.com/ https://www.uneed.best/ \ Those lists also include Reddits, but heads up, all links posted on Reddit are "no follow" (here is a perfect article on why this is important). But since Bill Prin had a good experience starting to promote on Reddit, I'm thinking of giving it a shot sometime soon. Here's the list of reddits: \ r/advancedentrepreneur r/advertising r/alphaandbetausers r/announcements r/AskMarketing r/Business_Ideas r/Businessideas r/coupons r/CrazyIdeas r/digitalnomad r/Emailmarketing r/Entrepreneur r/EntrepreneurRideAlong r/growinpublic r/growmybusiness r/GrowthHacking r/ideas r/indiebiz r/indiehackers r/InternetIsBeautiful r/Lightbulb r/MadeThis r/marketing r/microsaas r/NicheWebsites r/Plugyourproduct r/ProductHunters r/programming r/projects r/roastmystartup r/SaaS r/sales r/SideProject r/smallbusiness r/socialmedia r/startup r/startups r/startups_promotion r/sweatystartup r/webmarketing \ There are also Facebook groups and communities, but for now, as I decided to stay away from Facebook, there's no plan to check those out for now. Tracking Success with Bonetflix Implementing this strategy, I've promoted my project, Bonetflix, on all these platforms. In a past issue, I shared some metrics about it, and I expect these numbers to evolve in the following weeks. Stay tuned to witness positive transformations in this journey.
