$ADA Cardano (ADA) is an open-source Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain network, based on a wide array of design components that include a dApp development platform, multi-asset supported ledger and verifiable smart contracts.
Cardano’s inception and continued development are based on an extensive body of academic research, chiefly among them Ouroboros: A Provably Secure Proof of Stake Blockchain Protocol; this fact is often used to distinguish the project from other competing blockchain protocols.
The transaction ledger utilizes a modified version of UTXO to accommodate support for smart contracts, which is currently under development.$ADA

$ETH Ethereum was created in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, a Russian-Canadian programmer. The platform is based on the principle of decentralization, which means that it is not controlled by any single entity.
Ethereum allows users to build and deploy software, commonly in the form of DApps, which are then powered by a global distributed network of computers running Ethereum. The network is decentralized, making it highly resistant to any form of censorship or downtime.
In addition, Ethereum is an open-source blockchain platform that runs on the usage of its native currency, called Ether or ETH. All network transaction fees, or gas fees, are paid in ETH. ETH specifically used by the Ethereum blockchain to pay for transactions, and is responsible for powering just about everything that occurs on the network.
The Ethereum network can be used by anybody to create and run smart contracts, which are software programs that run autonomously, without user intervention. Ethereum’s growth can be attributed in part to its smart contract capability, which has enabled a growing ecosystem of DApps, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and more.
Ethereum completed its switch from a PoW to a PoS consensus mechanism in September 2022. In a PoS consensus mechanism, users can stake 32 ETH to validate transactions rather than solving computational puzzles using mining equipment, making the process more energy-efficient.
The Shanghai upgrade brought in a range of technical enhancements to the Ethereum platform. One of the key features introduced is the ability for users to access and unstake their Ethereum tokens that were previously locked in a smart contract as validators on the Beacon Chain.$ETH

$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that aims to function as a means of exchange that is independent of any central authority. BTC can be transferred electronically in a secure, verifiable, and immutable way.
Launched in 2009, BTC is the first virtual currency to solve the double-spending issue by timestamping transactions before broadcasting them to all of the nodes in the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin Protocol offered a solution to the Byzantine Generals' Problem with a blockchain network structure, a notion first created by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta in 1991.
Bitcoin’s whitepaper was published pseudonymously in 2008 by an individual, or a group, with the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto”, whose underlying identity has still not been verified.
The Bitcoin protocol uses an SHA-256d-based Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm to reach network consensus. Its network has a target block time of 10 minutes and a maximum supply of 21 million tokens, with a decaying token emission rate. To prevent fluctuation of the block time, the network's block difficulty is re-adjusted through an algorithm based on the past 2016 block times.
With a block size limit capped at 1 megabyte, the Bitcoin Protocol has supported both the Lightning Network, a second-layer infrastructure for payment channels, and Segregated Witness, a soft-fork to increase the number of transactions on a block, as solutions to network scalability.$BTC

#IsraelIranConflict BNB is a cryptocurrency that can be used to trade and pay fees on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. BNB is also the cryptocurrency coin that powers the BNB Chain ecosystem. As one of the world's most popular utility tokens, BNB is useful to users in a wide range of applications and use cases.
BNB was launched through an Initial Coin Offering (or ICO) that took place from June 26th to July 3rd, 2017 - 11 days before the Binance Exchange opened for trading. The issue price was 1 ETH for 2,700 BNB or 1 BTC for 20,000 BNB. Although BNB was launched through an ICO, BNB does not provide users with a claim on Binance profits and does not represent an investment in Binance.
With various applications both within the BNB Chain ecosystem and beyond, BNB serves numerous purposes. Originally launched as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, BNB has now migrated to the main BNB Chain. Although the initial total supply was set at 200 million coins, the supply is gradually decreasing as a result of frequent coin burns. The current price of BNB is updated and available in real-time on Binance.$BNB

#TrumpTariffs End of tariffs could see new Bitcoin high
Hundal said the best-case scenario is an end to the “tariff sabre rattling” as that will create a “glide path” for Bitcoin to reach $120,000 in June.
Earlier, Bitfinex analysts told Cointelegraph that Bitcoin may surge to new all-time highs above $115,000 in July if institutional buying continues and US job data is “weaker-than-expected.”
The analysts said a “softer-than-expected” report could reinforce the “disinflation narrative” and encourage the Federal Reserve to consider reducing interest rates sooner, which would be bullish for Bitcoin.

#bitcoin Bitcoin Maximalism is Dead, Long Live Bitcoin Pragmatism
The Bitcoin of yesteryear is gone. In its place is a sprawling, sometimes absurd, sometimes inspiring ecosystem. Call it pragmatism. Call it growth. Just don’t call
The Maximalist Era Ends
Perhaps I’m biased because I attended the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, but the news cycle last week was dominated by stories originating from the conference. While the tenor of these past events have been notoriously maximalist, this year was refreshingly pragmatic.
“the Bitcoin community is moving from Bitcoin maximalism to Bitcoin pragmatism.” I liked the framing so much, I’ve been saying it to everyone I can.
The change was obvious on the expo floor, where a wide range of booths representing both serious and less serious projects co-existed. A dog memecoin called $DOG had a booth, for crying out loud! Yes, it’s built on the Bitcoin blockchain, but I still could hardly believe my eyes.
Pragmatism also showed up in the speaker roster, which featured a record number of politicians and government officials. With spot bitcoin ETFs continuing their staggering inflows, even by TradFi standards, a ton of traditional finance folks also appeared on stage.
Most impressively, the content of the speakers was a far, far cry from the days when mentioning anything besides Bitcoin risked defenestration. This funny post from Lysander, for instance, gives an idea of how often stablecoins were talked about.
Sitting U.S. Vice President JD Vance ended his keynote speech by giving advice for Bitcoiners. First, he admonished those who wanted to exit the system via Bitcoin, saying that by disengaging they were ceding power to people who hated and feared Bitcoin.
Second, he framed the Bitcoin community as a strategic national asset that can check overreaches of power. Third, he told Bitcoiners they need to look beyond just Bitcoin. They need to pay attention to AI because AI is poised to reshape the world. AI people tend to be liberal, while Bitcoiners tend to be conservative. The AI space needs a countervailing force to ensure this society-transforming technology isn’t excessively skewed.
My favorite speech, while flawed in several moments, was the final keynote speaker of the conference, Ross Ulbricht. Speaking on the life-and-death importance of decentralization, born from ideas that Ross surely ruminated on for the over 11 years he was in prison, he said:
So long as we are free to choose, we want as many of these [blockchain] experiments going on as possible. The strong will survive and the system as a whole will become more robust and able to adapt.
Powerful words that I agree with wholeheartedly, delivered with conviction. Those words are a damning indictment of Bitcoin maximalism. More importantly, the fact that it was said during the final speech of the biggest and most important Bitcoin conference in the world, marks Thursday, May 29, 2025, as the veritable death knell of Bitcoin maximalism.
Bitcoin pragmatism isn’t without flaws. There are many things pragmatists must tolerate, such as the Trump family’s sometimes questionable ties between politics and crypto, major traditional financial institutions like Blackrock gobbling up Bitcoin at a rapacious rate, meme coin creators deploying on Bitcoin, the dozens of suspicious Bitcoin L2s, and the list goes on.
But maximalism was worse. It would’ve killed Bitcoin. Aaron van Wirdum told,We have one shot to get [Bitcoin] right,” because no one knew how special it was in those early, vulnerable years. Everyone knows now, and the powers that be would make sure to either control or destroy it.
Bitcoin is dead, long live Bitcoin.#bitcoin #

Sitting U.S. Vice President JD Vance ended his keynote speech by giving advice for Bitcoiners. First, he admonished those who wanted to exit the system via Bitcoin, saying that by disengaging they were ceding power to people who hated and feared Bitcoin.
Second, he framed the Bitcoin community as a strategic national asset that can check overreaches of power. Third, he told Bitcoiners they need to look beyond just Bitcoin. They need to pay attention to AI because AI is poised to reshape the world. AI people tend to be liberal, while Bitcoiners tend to be conservative. The AI space needs a countervailing force to ensure this society-transforming technology isn’t excessively skewed.
My favorite speech, while flawed in several moments, was the final keynote speaker of the conference, Ross Ulbricht. Speaking on the life-and-death importance of decentralization, born from ideas that Ross surely ruminated on for the over 11 years he was in prison, he said:
So long as we are free to choose, we want as many of these [blockchain] experiments going on as possible. The strong will survive and the system as a whole will become more robust and able to adapt.
Powerful words that I agree with wholeheartedly, delivered with conviction. Those words are a damning indictment of Bitcoin maximalism. More importantly, the fact that it was said during the final speech of the biggest and most important Bitcoin conference in the world, marks Thursday, May 29, 2025, as the veritable death knell of Bitcoin maximalism.
Bitcoin pragmatism isn’t without flaws. There are many things pragmatists must tolerate, such as the Trump family’s sometimes questionable ties between politics and crypto, major traditional financial institutions like Blackrock gobbling up Bitcoin at a rapacious rate, meme coin creators deploying on Bitcoin, the dozens of suspicious Bitcoin L2s, and the list goes on.
But maximalism was worse. It would’ve killed Bitcoin. Aaron van Wirdum told,We have one shot to get [Bitcoin] right,” because no one knew how special it was in those early, vulnerable years. Everyone knows now, and the powers that be would make sure to either control or destroy it.
Bitcoin is dead, long live Bitcoin.#bitcoin #

#CryptoCharts101 #eth Ethereum was created in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, a Russian-Canadian programmer. The platform is based on the principle of decentralization, which means that it is not controlled by any single entity.
Ethereum allows users to build and deploy software, commonly in the form of DApps, which are then powered by a global distributed network of computers running Ethereum. The network is decentralized, making it highly resistant to any form of censorship or downtime.
In addition, Ethereum is an open-source blockchain platform that runs on the usage of its native currency, called Ether or ETH. All network transaction fees, or gas fees, are paid in ETH. ETH specifically used by the Ethereum blockchain to pay for transactions, and is responsible for powering just about everything that occurs on the network.
The Ethereum network can be used by anybody to create and run smart contracts, which are software programs that run autonomously, without user intervention. Ethereum’s growth can be attributed in part to its smart contract capability, which has enabled a growing ecosystem of DApps, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and more.
Ethereum completed its switch from a PoW to a PoS consensus mechanism in September 2022. In a PoS consensus mechanism, users can stake 32 ETH to validate transactions rather than solving computational puzzles using mining equipment, making the process more energy-efficient.
The Shanghai upgrade brought in a range of technical enhancements to the Ethereum platform. One of the key features introduced is the ability for users to access and unstake their Ethereum tokens that were previously locked in a smart contract as validators on the Beacon Chain.$ETH
