Watch out Ordinals 30000 Ethscriptions land on Ethereum

Inspired by Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions, Ethscriptions offer a new way to mint NFTs on Ethereum.

Ethereum users have been given another way to create nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and other digital assets on the blockchain with the launch of a new protocol.

Launched on June 17 the protocol, dubbed “Ethscriptions,” is a nod to the Bitcoin (BTC) Ordinals protocol — where assets are known as “inscriptions.”

Ethscriptions was developed by music website Genius.com co-founder Tom Lehman, who uses the pseudonym Middlemarch on Twitter. Lehman declared the project a “huge success” in a series of tweets on June 17 and noted nearly 30,000 Ethscriptions had been created within the first 18 hours of the protocol going live.

According to Lehamn, Ethscriptions assets utilize Ethereum “calldata” — the data within a smart contract — to allow for a “cheaper” and “more decentralized” minting process when compared with conventional smart contract-based methods.

Users are currently limited to image-only inscriptions but Lehamn says the protocol will allow for different file types to be uploaded in the future. Currently, users are able to “ethscribe” any image as long as it's less than 96 kilobytes in size.

Lehman’s debut project on the Ethscriptions protocol, dubbed “Ethereum Punks” witnessed a considerably positive response from the community, with all 10,000 assets being claimed near-instantaneously.

Lehman added the project’s launch garnered so much user activity that the API interface for the official Ethscriptions website temporarily crashed.

Due to pre-existing infrastructure that allows for the creation of NFTs and other digital assets on the Ethereum network, it’s unclear if Ethscriptions will witness the same level of popularity as Bitcoin Ordinals has.

In less than six months, the total number of Ordinals inscribed on Bitcoin surged from zero to ten million. The enormous surge in activity was driven in large part by users embracing the novelty of being able to mint assets, which later included entirely new tokens — by way of the BRC-20 token standard — on the Bitcoin network.

I Stand By My $100,000 Bitcoin Price Target, Anthony Scaramucci

Anthony Scaramucci has again reiterated his stand on why he thinks bitcoin will still hit the $100,000 price target he had earlier set. Scaramucci had put forth this forecast when he was on Yahoo! Finance earlier in the year. The founder explained that bitcoin could easily be trading at $100,000 in 12 months. Anthony Scaramucci who founded Skybridge Capital in 2005 has not always been bullish on bitcoin. But has slowly come around over the years and has now gotten into bitcoin. The CEO believes that more and more funds will get into bitcoin as time passes. His message to other money managers had been that he believed the performance of their funds will eventually be benched off of bitcoin.

Whale clusters suggest that this key Bitcoin level can trigger an explosive rally

Bitcoin whale clusters show $57,046 and $60,045 are the crucial support and resistance levels in the short term. The price of Bitcoin ( BTC ) is attempting to break the $60,000 resistance level after more than a week of ranging. Whale clusters show that $57,046 and $60,045 are the crucial support and resistance areas in the short term.  In other words, the probability of a strong breakout in the foreseeable future would increase substantially if Bitcoin stays above $57,046 and continues to test $60,000 resistance. Why whale clusters are important for Bitcoin Whale clusters form when high-net-worth investors buy or sell Bitcoin at a certain price and do not move their holdings thereafter. As such, a whale cluster support typically serves as a strong macro support area for Bitcoin because whales tend to buy more when BTC falls to a level where they initially bought BTC. On the flip side, a whale cluster resistance area would likely hold up as a sell area because whales are mo...
