The Bitcoin white paper, “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” was released Oct. 31, 2008, amid the global financial crisis. The nine-page document laid the foundation for what would become the worldâs first cryptocurrency. Because nothing says “trust the process” like a 9-page manifesto written in 2008. đ§š
From the grandstand of a 1-day macro view, the narrative for the bulls seems as bleak as a Dostoevsky novel. After plummeting from an almost celestial $126,000 to a ground-level $98,898, Bitcoin glided through significant support with the elegance of a hefty stone descending earthwards. While the current price action hints at a consolidation phase within the range of $101,000 and $104,000, it would triumph to prematurely signal a retaking of the stage.
In the tragic tale that is XRP, the plot thickens. A downtrend, which began in the dark corridors of early October, has now blossomed into a full-fledged catastrophe with the 50-day moving average crossing beneath the 200-day mark.

XRP clings to $2.26, while SHIB, ever the capricious courtier, slips to $0.00000974. This synchronized unraveling caps a November that began with the volatility of a Russian novel-profit-taking accelerated, yet spot volumes dwindled, leaving the market in a state of existential quandary. đ§
Created in 2016 by an unimaginative fork from Bitcoinâs bleak little codebase, Zcash offers anonymous transactions using zero-knowledge proofs. These provisions are far beyond the wildest fantasies of paranoid bureaucrats everywhere.
At the illustrious Ripple Swell 2025 event, held on November 4-5, Long took the stage with the finesse of a maestro conducting a symphony. đ» She revealed Rippleâs master plan for XRP, leaving the crypto community both awestruck and mildly suspicious of her ability to predict the future. Speaking to CoinDesk, she elaborated that Rippleâs ambitions go beyond mere payments-her gaze is fixed on building a financial utopia where inclusion is not just a buzzword but a reality. đ
Spot investors, like moths to a flame, have resumed accumulation, with major holders like Arthur Hayes signaling strong confidence, as if whispering, “This is no mere fad, but a cometâs trail.” đ

Imaginez la scĂšne : lundi matin, le bougre, armĂ© de ses contrats malicieux, sâamuse Ă jouer avec les pools dans la V2, et voilĂ quâil dĂ©pouille les coffres comme un robin des bois moderne, mais Ă lâenvers.
