Altseason or not, here’s what separates and makes Bitcoin ‘better than the rest’

Bitcoin remains unbeatable as far as adoption is concerned. However, over the years, many competing blockchains have surpassed Bitcoin on the fronts of network functionalities and scalability. This has even lead to many youngsters terming it as the “boomer coin” since it is now invested in more by institutions, big-ticket players, and seasoned investors.

Ergo, it’s no surprise that these are being preferred by many young risk-takers. That is not

As the tech continues to proliferate and expand, more and more “problems” are arising that require solutions.  This obviously provides more space for viable contenders to occupy in a crowded market. This provides a robust growth argument for many altcoins, but there is a catch. The giant growth gains are

The NFT Avatar Trend Is About Community

Have you heard? NFTs are hot again. The media (both crypto media and mainstream media) declared NFTs dead in June, citing data that showed sales volume had dropped precipitously at the largest NFT sites. But now the market for blockchain-based digital collectibles has come roaring back (along with the price of Ethereum), especially one segment of the NFT boom that probably looks particularly bizarre to skeptical onlookers: cartoon animal collections. Pudgy Penguins hit $11 million in daily sales volume. Bored Apes hit a floor (the cheapest price for one NFT)
