14% increase in Total futures OPEN interest. That's the amount of people opening Short positions thinking Bitcoin is going to $50,000 When you borrow such positions via leverage on perpetual Futures you increase the demand for Bitcoin making it even more demand than it was before . Even though I was planning on Bitcoin coming to $57,000 the point of interest for smart money based on the huge volumes that come in FED cut rates , I can tell you , we won't see below $60,000. The demand for short positions will surely drive the market. There's absolutely high chances that we will see the breakout. 14% increase ??? In short position?? In open interest ??? Most of September we were at most 4% . But 14%???? Bitcoin is on the verge of a Breakout . The Bullish pennant flag .

First of all, AMAZING QUESTION. That's awesome to hear :) I agreed that we are definitely flying under the radar, but I have a feeling that is going to change very soon. We have been consciously a bit stealth; until we had our messenger integrations up and ready :) As is always the case, I can't reveal any specific projects / teams but I CAN say that the initial batch of projects launching on our LINE Mini dApp infrastructure will be comprised of cool up and coming teams AND established blue-chip teams - all well versed in the general dApp AND TON mini dApp spaces. Also since the audience on LINE is different to TG; definitely more "Web2" - we're also going to be strategic in making sure that we also have "consumer dApps" that will appeal to "web2 users" as well as the more crypto-first Dapps. Initially, the LINE Mini dApps will live on a separate sub ecosystem - the LINE Mini dApp ecosystem will have its own discovery functionality (dApp portal etc.); BUT those mini dApps will also be accessible via external browsers (dependent on the team and project, and obvious the UX won't be as streamlined). Eventually though, the plan is OPEN UP the LINE Mini dApp ecosystem to all builders. The initial round of launches is being whitelisted because we're testing out new waters and we want to make sure that the best experiences go live first, as so they can act as a case study for future LINE Mini dApp builders.

Give me 1k and ill make it into 50k in 8 hours with forex. Crypto is manipulated by whales, ive seen people with open positions in a LOSS of 5mil+, mind you, OPEN position, meaning they have 10x that amount as collateral. And that is not even a whale, big companies are diving into the crypto market now. I've quit, played around forex trading and managed to get 1k+ after starting with 20-50$. Ofc i lost about 3k in total, and made 5k in total last year. These are 7-9 trading sessions in a whole year. If i had 1k sitting in my account while trading, i wouldn't lose a dime. Not like having 20$ and it flies away by a single tick. Im being legit, consider even starting with 10$ with me, and see for your self.

How is switching to an OPEN LEDGER currency going to help, aside from making it easy for the government to track your money? How is electing a man who raised taxes on the middle class going to help?

TheMissingNTLDR

This could be good news for you. Once my ledgers LCD display died and I replaced it easily from watching a YT video. Got LCD from Aliexpress. Now the procedure to OPEN ledger is same. You will have access to buttons directly after opening. If you open it up, the inside board will be still working without the outer case and the 2 button knobs. Use a pen or something to press buttons.

If it’s a great project why not? I think from the many projects that I’ve seen coming and going, these guys at OPEN actually made it happen for 6.7 mln tickets. Their strategy by using a web2.5 approach seems clever. I thank the OP for posting. It’s not a new project for me, but I do like to see it appear more and more. I would follow upcoming announcements around taking football OnChain closely…

> 1 - Get a hardware wallet. No excuses. Get a hardware wallet. Learn how to use it. And make sure that hardware wallet is OPEN SOURCE. **Do Not Buy A Ledger.** Closed source code cannot be trusted. Ledger can't be trusted: [1](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/13v80ri/the_questions_ledger_owes_us_answers_to/), [2](https://np.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/1btw3tv/ledgers_wallet/kxotjya/) A hardware wallet with key extraction code cannot be trusted! (Only Ledger does this). It's not about whether or not you can trust Ledger today (Spoiler: You can't). The real issue is whether or not you'll still be able to trust Ledger years from now. If you buy a hardware wallet that runs only open source code - fully open source code - you don't have to trust the company that makes it since the code itself can be verified. Don't trust. Verify. There's a reason Bitcoin is open source. Your hardware wallet should be open source too.

Look for fundamentals, real-world problem-solving solutions utilizing blockchain. You'll quickly find there aren't that many. Make sure you can easily understand. One use case I have spent a lot of research on is ticketing. Bringing tickets onchain can have many benefits, including preventing ticket scalping and fraud, building deeper artist-fan connections, pre-event financing. It solves real-world problems and it's easy to understand that the one (or few) nailing that can conquer a $150Bn industry (both primary and secondary market). There have been 200+ companies trying it. Yet, one withstood COVID lockdowns, and multiple bear markets, they are one of the few that actually use the transparency of blockchain to show they sell millions of tickets onchain every year and it's only increasing. Check out OPEN Ticketing Ecosystem for yourself, for example, the explorer let's you check all tickets sold onchain in real-time!

TheInformationGame

To each point: - Scamming will not exist. Each ticket is tied to a phone number and has a rotating QR code to enter the venue. There are no fake tickets because they are on the blockchain and are verifiable. To date, OPEN has processed 6.5 million tickets and has 0 cases of fraud. - (Points 2 and 3): It costs fractions of a cent to generate and send NFTs. Also, many of the excessive fees come from the secondary markets, which cannot be controlled. With a blockchain-based system, the ticket stays within the ecosystem and has clear and reasonable fees. - No crypto is needed at any point. Event goers pay with fiat, and transferring or reselling tickets is done just as if it were a traditional app. - The wallet is built into the app, no seed phrases are necessary (although a password might be needed as usual).

TheInformationGame

The venues are often stuck with a contract with Ticketmaster, but the contracts eventually end and they can then move on. Several large Dutch venues already use OPEN, and they have been doing Thriftcon events in cities across the US too. The overhead is not too excessive. The system is already built and has processed 6.5 million tickets. Anti-trust regulation might help, but the technology is critical to eliminating the issues with secondary markets. It also provides a way for event organizers to stay connected to their fans through a ticket whose features continue to evolve after the event is over.

na3than

u/justsomedudeonthenet is correct. The only things I'll add to that comment are: 1. If the will or the rules of probate allow it, consider distributing the Bitcoin DIRECTLY to his heirs. Using the seed words you imported to Blue Wallet, you have the power to do this. Each heir will need to set up their own Bitcoin wallet and give you their address, which you should verify in person or at least via a live phone call with the recipient. Even better, send the recipient a nominal amount--e.g. 5% of their Bitcoin inheritance--then have them verify receipt into their wallet before sending the rest. 2. If you must convert the Bitcoin to currency, contact an exchange or two and ask them if it's possible to OPEN AN ACCOUNT UNDER THE NAME OF THE ESTATE. I hope you'll find one that will. Sales of Bitcoin incur capital gains taxes, which will need to be paid by the estate, so estimate that tax liability and keep enough cash in the estate's account to pay the tax bill next year. DON'T open the account in your name, or you'll be on the hook for those taxes.

Tickets make alot of sense onchain, and provide value outside of what web2 tickets can, or do the same, just better. Slowly the adoption is happening OPEN having 6.5mil tix onchain is proof of that, with it also being a consistently current application of the tech as shown with the many people trying it. Ticketing takes time, slowly, slowly, then all at once.

No_Dentist_7426

OPEN (formerly known as GET protocol) is an interesting project. They do on-chain ticketing and have sold over 6 million tickets to date (you can even track it all on their explorer). One of the very few projects with an actual usecase and mass adoption. Only a shame it's so under the radar in the crypto space. But they're growing each year and eventually I believe everyone will be on board.

Brilliant-Economy898

I read some comments about OPEN ($OPN), that looks like something with a good business case. They are working on two large deals it seems (Azerion and another listed company). When that happens things could change north for them. Worth looking into.

CAW, OPEN & ORCA are my more high risk ones, but CAW has a bit of hype surrounding it so it might be a quick sharp rise before it disappears, worth having something in it at this point anyway. OPEN seems like a decent project though, used to be QREDO and it had an ATH of about £7, at 0.02 a coin now it I'd another that might be worth just keeping a small amount in for interest. But I'm a novice trader so these all might be the gambles that don't pay off 🤷‍♂️

Yes the biggest losers from Evergrande are western investors- the Chinese government sacrifices them to protect Chinese investors. Avery simple search will confirm this. [https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/01/business/evergrande-debt-crisis-latest-update-intl-hnk/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/01/business/evergrande-debt-crisis-latest-update-intl-hnk/index.html) [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/30/evergrande-collapse-china-property-developer-liquidation-details-impact](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/30/evergrande-collapse-china-property-developer-liquidation-details-impact) This means that foreign bondholders – including Top Shine Global, which brought the winding-up petition against the Evergrande – will be “hung out to dry”, says George Magnus, an economist and associate at Soas University of London. And a bailout is unlikely. The Chinese government “certainly don’t want to give priority to making good the losses of foreign creditors over domestic citizens,” says Magnus. “That just wouldn’t be a good look. So to the extent that somebody is going to pay a price, it will be the foreign bondholders.” OPEN YOUR EYES its happening.

I’ve been running a sub on NFT Ticketing (r/nfttickets) which is a tremendously good RWA example. Recent developments in the ecosystem of OPEN (previous GET Protocol), show major adoption. Yesterday they announced a new grand integrator: https://x.com/nfttickets/status/1775559384245948588?s=46&t=CFxkioL7rXRKzDBwYt6ivw

The only project that i found that is really making a change is OPEN, eliminating ticket scalping for concerts and festivals.

Brilliant-Economy898

I think it’s safe to say that OPEN is the one. From the sub on r/nfttickets you’ll read the most about them. They were known by GET Protocol, now rebranded this month as OPEN $OPN. https://onopen.xyz/

Doorzetters

This is literally OPEN Ticketing ecosystem (OPN) but then without 7 years of experience, without proof record, without the connections. They’ve been selling event tickets, sold 6M already. 100M tickets eoy is a stretch and will not be reached.

Sleinnev

Who else is getting into OPEN tomorrow when it starts trading?

Sleinnev

Take a look at OPEN, they are doing NFT Ticketing and have sold over 5.6 million ticekts on chain, eliminating ticket scalping. This bring real world revenue to token stakers!

Sleinnev

Check out OPEN, NFT ticketing protocol that has sold over 5.6 million tickets on chain that eliminate scalping. Bringing real world revenue to stakers of the token.

averysmallbeing

GET protocol/now known as OPEN, is a functioning NFT ticket system that has survived several bear markets and is still very small cap. Its one of my main lottery plays.

Missing GET // OPEN Ticketing Network on this list! Their RWA product has sold 5.6M+ ONCHAIN tickets to consumers globally in the last 7 years of development. Their about to announce the onboarding of 16 Dutch football clubs, good for 3.2M ticket annually + 15M more in annual demand in the upcoming years Also rebranding to OPN and migrating to Base on Friday! <-- Might be good to spend 5min doing due diligence before the masses find out about the news within the next 48h

Sleinnev

You are wrong, take a look at OPEN, they already sold millions of tickets without ticket scalping. Super user friendly.

Sleinnev

OPEN Is doing this on a big scale! They already sold 5.6 million tickets on chain for concerts, festivals, comedy shows, sports games etc! They are planning on doing about 15 million tickets more this year, without any ticket scalping or scammers.

OPEN Ticketing Ecosystem ($OPN , tradable from March 28th). This is a rebrand of $GET (GET protocol) and focus on decentralized event ticketing/financing. The reason why it's because one of the few projects that has real world usage (more than 5.6 million event tickets sold) and literally has no competitors

Brilliant-Economy898

OPEN ecosystem, previously known as GET Protocol They are crypto dinosaurs, started in Amsterdam in 2016, raised ETH in an ICO, and started building the guardrails for on-chain ticketing. Alongside their protocol, they created a ticketing company called GUTS Tickets which became a preferred ticketeer for a major venue in the Netherlands. They were meant as a showcase for the white-label solution but grew to the top of ticket companies in the Netherlands (and it's an insanely crowded landscape for such a small country). The solution includes everything, from the website to the app, to the event organizer tools. Next to that, they have the Digital Twin solution which is an API to use the same NFT ticketing engine as the White Label and more or less the starting point for existing ticketing that wants more data about their ticketing life cycle up to NFTs and web3 entries. To date, they have 20+ integrators in several countries around the world for both the White Label as well as the Digital Twin integrators. They are, for example, working with one of the largest ticketing companies in the Netherlands and the Dutch GP to share in-app unique track collectables and add additional benefits to them. The GET token is used to power the ticketing. Integrators need to buy GET from the open market to be able to ticket events. The GET is locked for the entire event life cycle and gets distributed upon ticket scanning at the event. Portion flows to the DAO (currently containing ~6,25M in GET tokens), a big chunk to the GET Foundation, and a chunk to GET stakers (~33% of circulating supply stakes). The token has a fixed supply. Now, why am I only telling you now? Well.. they have been building and building, survived the black Swan event (COVID lockdowns for 2 years globally), outpacing literally hundreds of NFT Ticketing projects, raised ~5M in the bearest of times last year, and are now ready to push the narrative big time. In the following weeks, • ⁠GET will rebrand (with the help of the MC/Beam team) • ⁠Open token migration • ⁠List on a big CEX • ⁠Reveal the on-chain ticketing coalition with major industry partners • ⁠Reveal new major contracts • ⁠Perform web3-focused marketing for the first time in its existence It still has only a 40M market cap and it has been flying under the radar for a long long time.

OPEN Ticketing Ecosystem (still GET Protocol till 28th march): 1. **Pioneers in Blockchain Ticketing:** OPEN, evolving from GET Protocol since 2016, is not just another crypto project. They're the first to tackle on-chain ticketing, leading in innovation. 2. **Robust Use Case with GUTS Tickets:** Dominating the Dutch market, OPEN’s ticketing platform showcases the practical, real-world application of their tech. 3. **Global Expansion:** With 20+ integrators worldwide, OPEN is scaling fast, indicating a growing demand for its ticketing solution. 4. **Exclusive Partnerships and Features:** Working with top-tier names in the Netherlands and offering unique collectibles and benefits for ticket holders. 5. **GET Token Utility:** Essential for ticketing events, with a fixed supply, indicating potential for value appreciation as demand increases. 6. **Imminent Big Moves:** Rebranding, token migration, major exchange listing, unveiling industry partnerships, and significant contracts on the horizon (adding 10+ million onchain tickets tickets this year alone!) 7. **Decentralised Event Financing**: missed out on previous DeFi explosion. Here is your chance again! 8. **Undervalued Opportunity:** Still flying under the radar with a $40M market cap, OPEN is positioned for growth, making it a compelling buy before it hits the mainstream radar.

Anything RWA really, wherever there is interest / money to make.. One domain many people don't recognise YET, onchain ticketing. Especially when the ticket inventory from event organizers can be put up as bond to raise funds to pre-finance events. OPEN ecosystem did release this recently https://mirror.xyz/openticketing.eth/XApQNwC9g3eh1-gj-N22W2RgKA8yheTPaJ8w2J3Z_1A

I see so much complaining about ticket master on my timeline that I think people will want to see competition there. I also think that this a very old industry that is yet to be disrupted (like Airbnb and Uber renewed the hotel business and taxi business). I don’t think there has been any innovation in ticketing besides the QR code. So cheers to these OPEN guys. Makes more sense than the next “trillions txs per second protocol”.

Brilliant-Economy898

Very cool project indeed. It recently rebranded to OPEN. Which is a perfectly cool name, as this is what the industry needs: transparency It used to go under the name of GET. You can even see their 5.6 million ticket transactions to date, https://explorer.get-protocol.io/ True web3 RWA where many grannies bought tickets not knowing it was web3 services ! The blockchain magic happened under the hood out of sight. It was a type of web2.5 approach that really helped them to build and develop.

TheInformationGame

GET will migrate to OPN on March 28. There will be clear details about how this works in r/OPEN_Ticketing or in the Telegram. So you can buy GET now or OPN after March 28.

lupxi

- Huge tribalism going on - People shilling their bags That's why I focus on the projects that are chain agnostic and deliver a killer use case. For example, OPEN (rebrand of GET Protocol) is bringing millions of tickets onchain and expanding from ETH and Polygon to Solana, Base, and Tezos.

Met my cousin two days ago to review some finance with him. He is very conservative on his finance approaches. After couple hours conversation, he said still does not see the value BTC offers. He cant make that connection to its like gold but with more versatility. If BTC is becoming a form of gold, or adopted by companies on balance sheet, or used by countries as currency, or being one of the most successful ETF by arguably one of the largest and dominating funds in the world ... LOL, yeah cant convince him and he is truly a smart guy by other standards. Our meeting was involving trust companies and holding companies and personal corporations and how to distribute wealth ... I just found is so odd that could not even convince him to OPEN a WALLET and let me send him a free 10$ of btc. I been in BTC since 2009 and all this time be telling him. In some cases I feel we just at the point where masses will start to be able to know about BTC and we shed that "its for illegal stuff" We shall see.

What problem did the number 0 solve ? It provided us a base layer from which to conduct more advanced mathematical calculations. Bitcoin is the base layer ledger of account … Allowing us to conduct HONEST exchanges of value across the globe . it solves ( for the first time in history )the Byzantine general’s problem. The double spend problem. It provides THE WORLDS FIRST DECENTRALIZED , FULLY OPEN SOURCE AUDITED , SECURE , PERMISSION-LESS , TRUST-LESS ledger to enable exchange of value. If you don’t see value in that … or the number 0 … or the long strings of 1s and 0s that make up binary…. I can’t help you.

That’s not good. What if you forget the encryption password. That’s why I uploaded mine as a regular text file to the shared workspace in Google Drive at my job. I named it “my passphrase SECRET DONT OPEN.txt” so people know that they shouldn’t read it. I also uploaded a copy of it to a public Gist in GitHub but again I put the same file name so that people know that they should not read it because it’s not theirs.

People don't understand this: clients asked BlackRock, "Hey, can you manage my wealth, including bitcoin in my assets?" and Blackrock is requesting Bitcoin ETF. They would do this with cabbages if that were the demand. All the fuss about "it's a conspiracy to destroy Bitcoin" sounds more like a conspiracy theory than anything else. Also, he made Bitcoin OPEN SOURCE and PERMISSIONLESS; from the start, he let the opportunity open for ANYTHING to happen. He didn't want to control it; or superimpose a direction to it. The whitepaper presents an attempt, an experiment. Let it unfold to its end, and let's see.

Yodel_And_Hodl_Mode

Ledger lied about what is in their closed source code. That's the point I'm making. > Your keys are always stored on your device and never leave it > SOURCE: [btchip, Ledger Co-Founder, on May 14th, 2023](https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13gs0xn/using_ledger_with_3rd_party_wallets/jk34kcn/) Think about the date of that quote. No, really, think about that date: **May 14th, 2023** Now, think about how long it took to create Recover. Ledger had to find other companies to partner up with, and lawyers from three different companies had to agree on terms and contracts. Any guesses on how long that took? Ledger had to write the code and test with all three companies. That's quite an undertaking. Think about how many months Ledger was falsely selling hardware while telling customers things like this: > "Hi - your private keys **never** leave the Secure Element chip, which has never been hacked. The Secure Element is 3rd party certified, and is the same technology as used in passports and credit cards. A firmware update cannot extract the private keys from the Secure Element." > [SOURCE](https://twitter.com/Ledger/status/1592551225970548736): @Ledger And this, all of which has recently [been scrubbed from their website]( https://np.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13z1yew/ledger_updates_academy_articles/) > "Private data, such as your private keys will be protected and never leave the device due to the combination of BOLOS and the Secure Element." > [SOURCE](https://www.ledger.com/academy/security/our-custom-operating-system-bolos/): Ledger.com > "The secret keys or seed are never exposed to the BLE stack and never, ever leave the Secure Element." > [SOURCE](https://www.ledger.com/ledger-nano-x-bluetooth-security-model-of-a-wireless-hardware-wallet/): Ledger.com > "While Ledger is using a dual chip system with an MCU as well, the important part is that your private keys remain inside the Secure Element." > [SOURCE](https://www.ledger.com/academy/security/not-all-chips-are-born-equal): Ledger.com > "This means that, beyond keeping your private key offline and away from hackers, the Ledger device itself is also completely impenetrable from external threats" > [SOURCE](https://www.ledger.com/academy/basic-basics/2-how-to-own-crypto/what-is-a-crypto-wallet): Ledger.com Even their packaging lies: > "WE ARE OPEN SOURCE..." > https://i.redd.it/dysdk6j9516b1.jpg The issue isn't that Ledger's firmware is closed source. The issue is that they lie about it, and they lie about what's in it.

>they publicly admitted that they could download firmware to extract seeds This goes the same for Trezor. The average person doesn't compartmentalize when it comes to dealing with this stuff. The risk of having an infected host computer with compromised firmware is just as high. Trezors didn't even have a secure element until their new model, which makes it a dilemma from those shouting from the "MUH OPEN SOURCE" crowd. There has to be *some* element of trust. Of course if you're truly concerned about proper cold storage you should be looking at fully open sourced airgapped solutions anyway.

AmbitiousPhilosopher

First, don't panic or rush. Second, learn about which wallets can be trusted, OPEN SOURCE community supported wallets are the safest. If it's a lot of money, investigate offline signing, but if it isn't, you can do it online with a good amount of safety.

TAKE a good LOOK at this guy , He is already living overtime he is old school and the unused Innovation part of his brain has collected to many spiderwebs it would be impossible for him to understand or even try to visualize BTC’s potential so is much easier to blame the stupidity on BitCoin let’s give him a break and try to understand his perspective , now back to reality imo the next 4 months starting now are extremely crucial for not only BTC but all top alt coins as well we are about to finally see the GATE OPEN UP and this time with the participation of smart money keep you eyes open

Caponcapoffstillon

I literally just talked about the supposed “attack vector” on the device itself that you just mentioned. It’s not possible, view the architecture of the device. You can’t just upload malicious updates Willy Nilly, the ledger device goes through a lot of anti tampering and device attestation before the OPEN SOURCE app even releases it. If you honestly think the firmware update is getting through the whole company without company going rogue itself you’re just mistaken and you should prob read how the device itself works. I did, so I’m telling you how it works, if not I can just link it to you and you read through it yourself if you want. The only attack vector introduced is the companies you export your seed phrase to.

Fidelity doesn’t low u to withdraw bitcoin from them. Yes buy BTC and put onto an OPEN SOURCE hard wallet/cold storage. Forget about it for ten years

Mark_Logan

If that is an actual Casascius coin, view the amount under the hologram, BUT *DO NOT OPEN IT*. If you are going to sell it, sell it unopened. This is like a fine wine, if you open it, it loses its collector value. Yes, yes whatever, it’s worth one Bitcoin. I know the arguments. It’s always going to be worth at a MINIMUM 1 BTC (if that’s what is loaded on it) but these things are so stinking rare (unopened) you can probably get even more for it. If you’re going to auction it off, please post in /r/Bitcoin I’d love to follow that.

There are many scammers on that channel waiting and would DM you pretend to be “help desk” though. Ignore every DM. Always talk in the main chat out in the open.

There's so many layers of stupid. Why would you exceed have that on the same machine you stream from, much less unencrypted, much less in an OPEN document. Just wow. I usually feel bad for people but I honestly just laughed at this.

Just don't jump in any trade blindly. Identify levels of support (a bottom with a following uptrend) and resistance (the top with following sell-off) on a high time frame like 1D or 4hrs. (Go back months) Look for strong structures in between and that will most likely be your mid-range. Now you have a basic setup. Don't go long at resistances, don't short the support. Wait for a clean break or confirmation of either. Set a stop loss when opening the position. That will be the money you are willing to lose! Once in profit lower that stop loss to the amount you wanna have as profit even if price counters the position. Indicators on Trading View (set them as favorite don't use all at once): RSI EMA 200 SMA & EMA crossing (50 & 200) MACD AGGREGATED OPEN INTEREST NET SHORT AND LONG POSITION SMART MONEY CONCEPTS You have to read up on how to interpret these indicators and how to configure them yourself to really understand it. Leveraged trading is possible, play it safe! Look at your margin levels and calculate the possible win/loss, stop losses before opening a position. At best you never really lose money because of the stop losses. Don't trade US-CPI dates or big events. Price is likely to move up and down so quick .... I'm doing it for 2 years. I'm not rich, I'm a noob! I lost a lot of trades but could even them out and you will get to a point where you will make money and don't lose trades. Even if it's just a small amount!

A trick that helps me is to keep your eyes OPEN (but actively try to sleep, i.e. no phone) it helps tire the eyes. Also, not a bad time to meditate a bit. I hope you get some good rest 💕
