The specific bid strategies are as follows: 1、 By monitoring the memory pool, if there is an offer transaction that accepts his bid, he will use higher gas fees to withdraw the bid account balance, causing the transaction to fail (high feasibility); 2、 With the restriction that NFTs cannot be traded within 3 hours of going live on Blur, bids can be confidently placed (not a key strategy); 3、 When gas fees are high, users tend to not accept bids (low profits and give up); 4、 Cross-platform offer-bid price difference arbitrage suffered a huge loss when forced to accept bids due to robot manipulatio...

Five-day highs for BTC price come within a narrow trading range as U.S. inflation broadly conforms to expectations. Bitcoin (BTC) ticked above $22,000 after the Feb. 14 Wall Street open as crucial United States inflation data delivered “mixed” results. BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp).

Bitcoin and major altcoins look vulnerable to a deeper correction after the crackdown on Paxos soured sentiment across the crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) and select altcoins are threatening to deepen their correction after reports emerged that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a Wells Notice to Paxos, alleging that the dollar-pegged Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin is an unregistered security.

Ethereum may experience a drop in user activity alongside ETH price with crypto staking in the crosshairs of the SEC. Ethereum's native token, Ether (ETH), saw its worst daily performance of the year as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stopped Kraken, a cryptocurrency exchange, from offering crypto staking services. On Feb. 9, Kraken agreed to pay $30 million to settle the SEC's allegation that it broke securities rules by offering crypto staking services to U.S. retail investors. The news pushed down the prices of many proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain project tokens, in particular. Ethereum, which switched to a staking-based protocol in September 2022, also suffered as a result.

The government has blamed illegal miners for crippling power shortages and rolling blackouts that have left thousands without electricity. The state’s political status is contentious. Many nations recognize it as part of Georgia, but others – including its closest ally Russia – have recognized it as a sovereign nation. The area’s climate and low power costs have made it a haven for crypto miners. But in recent years, many miners are thought to have established illegal connections to the grid – allowing them to power their hardware for free. This has caused the grid to falter, causing outages that last for up to five hours at a time. Even additional cross-border power supplies from Russia have not helped matters – as new overhead lines have q...
