#AirdropStepByStep 📱Bitcoin is becoming more environmentally friendly

According to a study by Cambridge University, the use of renewable energy in Bitcoin mining has increased to 52.4%. In comparison, just in 2022, this figure was only 37.6%.

This means that most miners are transitioning to renewable energy sources — hydropower, solar panels, wind energy, etc.

For the market, this means: less pressure from regulators, a better reputation for BTC in the long term, and increased interest from ESG investors.

#XRPETF 👿North Korean hackers attacked crypto developers through fake companies

In particular, the perpetrators from the Lazarus group created two fake companies to target developers' crypto wallets. The companies Blocknovas LLC and Softglide LLC were registered in New Mexico and New York.

The hackers offered jobs in the crypto sector, after which they infected developers' computers with malware. This led to the compromise of crypto wallets and the theft of credentials.

Eventually, the scheme was uncovered by the cybersecurity firm Silent Push, leading to the confiscation of the cybercriminals' websites.

$ETH 🤷‍♂️The founder of Cardano predicts the collapse of Ethereum in 10-15 years

Charles Hoskinson believes that Ethereum may not withstand the competition and may not survive until 2040:

"They have the wrong accounting model, the wrong virtual machine, and the wrong consensus model".
In particular, Hoskinson noted L2 solutions (such as Arbitrum and Optimism):

"These layer two solutions suck profits out of the main chain. Instead of uniting the ecosystem, they are dividing it".

Hoskinson also compared Ethereum to companies that failed to adapt to new realities, such as Myspace or Blackberry. He stated that it is unlikely Vitalik Buterin can hold the team together by 'sheer will'🧐

$TRX BTC🪙

We have already removed part of the liquidity at the level of $85,500, however, higher, around $86,000, there are still large clusters of positions. Many entered long from levels of $82,000–$83,000, and the market is gradually clearing these positions.

Today, I allow for a small upward impulse to gather the remaining liquidity at $86,000, but it is necessary to consider that the liquidity below at $82,000–$83,000 looks even more attractive and a likely target in case of a sharp movement.

As long as we are in a sideways movement — this is an attempt to create intrigue and lure traders into positions. Yesterday's positive news did not provide a serious upward impulse, which only confirms my logic.

I hope you understand why I expect this particular scenario. Just follow me, friends, and everything will be great. I won't let you down!

$ETH 🙌 Ethereum network fees have reached their lowest level in 5 years — $0.68

This was reported by analysts at Santiment. Such a sharp decline, in their opinion, is associated with low user activity on the platform.

When Ethereum is actively used, users are willing to pay higher fees to expedite transactions, but now, as activity has decreased, fees are falling.

Experts also note that low fees often precede an increase in asset prices😎
