#Shezow #ShePuns #IfShezowGotASecondSheason #NFTNFSHEEpisode

I wonder if Shezow kept going what would be the first Shepun the show will use?

My guesses are below. NFShe's and Sheconomy.

Like Mega Monkey made Nfts or NFShe's of Shezow and Shezap.

Also himself and his mini monkey minions.

(ShoeonHead made a video called The Male Loneliness Epidemic. And read a title to a article that had the word Sheconomy in it.)

Like have a new artist villain that used to make actual art but either wasn't selling well or had a art block maybe Ai art got really good they became evil and made NFShe's (NFTs) of the good guys and bad guys.

They are copies are the originals but are not as strong and uses numbers to attack from something similar to a block chain.

Each NFShe character is different.

Like a Dudepow, a Robot Shezow, furry version of the hero's and villains.

Humanizations of the animal villains.

Then Shezow talks about how bad NFShe's are & tells the artist villain to get back into real art then later makes a pay to win game where you buy characters to even play the game.

If I made a episode this would be this.

I would make this He-ra's first appearance which is my oc.

If the price of the Shezoin (Bitcoin) goes down the NFShe characters are weaker but if the Shezoin price is high the characters are stronger.

If the market crashes then all the characters get deleted.

I image the NFShe artist having a personality to Dick Hardly.

The original.

Dick Hardly | Disney Versus Non-Disney Villains Wiki | Fandom

----------------------

Another cool Shezow cameo episode would be Guy Fieri meets Guy Hamdon since they are both cool dudes and both say shut the front door.

Either make Guy Fieri be a food review villain and his weakness is eggs. He wants to turn Megadale into Flavortown with his food powers and influence.

As expected, wherever tech news is published for the inquiring minds, one will find a mountain of speculation and also some facts about whether or not there is a war going on between the “giants” in the industry. Since October 28, 2022, there has been a lot of buzz circulating about Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey. Or is it … Elon Musk VERSUS Jack Dorsey??? ...

What are NFTs? (Non-Fungible Tokens) – Beginner’s Guide 2023

An NFTs is something that can’t be duplicated—it’s the complete opposite of fungible. The first known NFT, “Quantum,” was a video clip dubbed a monetized graphic. When it was created in May 2014, it eventually sold for $4. Since then, NFTs have grown into a $1.8 billion market, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Non-Fungible Token (NFT)

But what exactly is an NFT? Perhaps the first thing to understand is how an NFT differs from a fungible token.

If you think about two separate one-dollar bills, they’re the same. If I take your dollar bill and give you my dollar bill, we both still have the same thing. This means a one-dollar bill is a fungible asset.

On the other hand, if you have a portrait painted by Pablo Picasso, exchanging that artist’s work for a picture drawn by a three-year-old isn’t the same. That’s the basic premise behind NFTs.

“The concept of fungible versus non-fungible has been in our lives for centuries,” says Merav Ozair, blockchain expert and fintech professor at Rutgers Business School.

Ozair defines a fungible object as something interchangeable or indistinguishable from something else.

A bitcoin is a fungible token on a blockchain, and it doesn’t matter which particular one you own.

An NFT, on the other hand, is a unique blockchain token that is not interchangeable with any other token found on that or any other blockchain.

Ethereum Dips 7% Amidst Trump’s 12% Lead Over Harris: A Market Analysis

Key Points

As the US presidential election nears, Ether experiences a 7% bearish sentiment while Trump leads Harris by 12% in prediction markets.

Ether’s bearish sentiment is expected to last longer than Bitcoin’s, which is set to turn positive after the election.

As the upcoming US presidential election on November 5 draws closer, there’s a significant divergence in sentiment towards two major cryptocurrencies, Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC). This shift seems to be influenced by the political landscape, with Republican Donald Trump extending his lead over Democrat Kamala Harris in prediction markets, affecting investor behavior towards these digital assets differently.

Ether is currently facing a notably more bearish sentiment compared to Bitcoin. This is evident from the most recent options market data from Amberdata and Deribit. Ether’s 25-delta risk reversals, which measure the premium of put options over call options, are deeper into negative territory than those for Bitcoin.

Election Volatility Influences ETH Risk Reversals

Options traders typically use risk reversals to gauge market sentiment and hedge their positions in the spot and futures markets. The more negative the risk reversal, the higher the premium that traders are willing to pay for downside protection versus upside potential. At present, Ether options set for expiration on October 11 show a risk reversal rate of -7.3%, with Bitcoin trading at -5.8%.

However, Ether is currently trading at $2,415, marking a 1.30% increase in the last 24 hours. The community sentiment indicator on CoinMarketCap shows 33% favoring the bullish sentiments while 67% vote for bearish sentiments for the cryptocurrency.

Interestingly, Bitcoin’s risk reversals turn positive for options expiring after November 8, signaling an expected volatility shift to the upside. On the other hand, Ether’s sentiment does not improve until late December, suggesting that traders are bracing for more immediate volatility in Bitcoin following the election results.

In September, trading activities on Derive, a leading decentralized exchange, revealed that Ethereum call options were being sold at a ratio of 2.5 to 1 compared to buys. This activity indicates a lack of confidence in Ether’s short-term price increase, as traders are more inclined to hedge against further price drops.

Nick Forster, founder of Derive, highlighted this cautious stance in his exclusive report, noting: “The skew in ETH open interest, with nearly 2.5 times more calls sold than bought, suggests that traders see the upside as limited for now. This divergence between the two assets will be key to watch as we get closer to election day.”

Politics and the Crypto Market

The intersection of politics and market sentiment is particularly pronounced in this election cycle. Trump’s odds of securing a victory have reached a two-month peak of 55.8% on Polymarket, significantly ahead of Harris at 43.8%. His campaign has intertwined with financial markets, notably through the September launch of the DeFi protocol World Liberty Financial.

While some financial analysts, like those from Standard Chartered, speculate that a Trump administration might favor Ethereum competitors like Solana, the broader sentiment is mixed. A Trump win is seen as potentially beneficial for cryptocurrencies in general, given his administration’s openness to integrating blockchain innovations into the financial ecosystem.

BTC’s Calm Near Resistance Signals Potential Breakout

Bitcoin consolidates under resistance, suggesting a potential breakout if key support holds.

Analysts observe a descending channel pattern, signaling possible bullish momentum.

Peter Brandt sees Bitcoin gaining strength over gold, with a target of 123.75 oz per BTC.

Bitcoin, trading at $61,046 at press time, exhibits a potential bullish momentum.

A crypto influencer, Open4profit, recently shared a bullish outlook for Bitcoin. He pointed to consolidation near a key resistance level as a sign of a possible breakout. 

Consolidation Under Resistance

Open4profit’s recent analysis shows a descending channel pattern on Bitcoin’s chart. The upper red line represents a sloping resistance level. Bitcoin has been repeatedly rejected at this level in recent months. The lower green line indicates a similar sloping support level, showing where Bitcoin has found support. Between these lines, a white dashed mid-channel line serves as a pivot zone for short-term price movements.

Related: https://cryptotale.org/bitcoin-could-reach-90k-if-trump-wins-u-s-election-report/ 

Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing volatility near a key support level, positioned below the resistance level, which is considered a bullish indicator according to Open4profit. Such a style of consolidation can indicate the approach of the breakthrough. However, it is crucial to note that, if Bitcoin continues to trade above the associated support, a breakout of the descending channel is possible. The potential for a price jump has been identified, aligning with the upward trend indicated by the big green arrow in the analysis. This could catapult Bitcoin to cross over $70 000.

Bitcoin Versus Gold

At the same time, technical analyst Peter Brandt compared Bitcoin’s performance to gold. He suggested that Bitcoin could soon see significant gains if it breaks certain resistance levels.

The veteran analyst shared his view on Bitcoin’s long-term strength compared to gold. Brandt analyzed the BTC/GLD ratio, which shows how Bitcoin has performed against gold. The ratio has been rising steadily over the years. This reflects Bitcoin’s increasing value as a store of wealth compared to gold. Support has been found at 14 oz of gold, which helped Bitcoin start its recent rally. Brandt identified a key resistance level at 32 oz of gold. Bitcoin has struggled to break through this point in the past. However, if Bitcoin can surpass this level, it may lead to even bigger gains. Brandt’s projection suggests a long-term target of over 100 oz of gold per Bitcoin. Per current rates, Brandt notes that a price of $323,854 is achievable.

Unraveling BlackRock’s Bitcoin Whitepaper: Unmasking the Nature of BTC

Key Points

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw fluctuating inflows, while its Ethereum ETF (ETHA) recorded a healthy inflow of $4.9 million.

Despite high risks, BlackRock’s whitepaper emphasizes Bitcoin’s unique position as a diversifier among major asset classes.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, known as IBIT, saw a fluctuating trend in inflows. The latest update on September 18th reported no new inflows.

On the other hand, BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF, ETHA, witnessed a substantial inflow of $4.9 million during the same period, as reported by Farside Investors.

Performance of Blackrock’s ETFs

Despite these short-term fluctuations, the IBIT ETF has seen total inflows of $20.92 billion since its inception. This surpasses the cumulative inflows of $17.45 billion for all Bitcoin ETFs combined.

In comparison, ETHA has seen total inflows of $1.03 billion since its launch. The cumulative Ethereum ETF sector, however, has experienced a net outflow of $9.8 million.

These figures suggest that the lack of inflows for IBIT may be a temporary fluctuation, with potential for improvement in the near future.

Blackrock’s View on Bitcoin

BlackRock has released a comprehensive whitepaper that explores Bitcoin’s unique role among major asset classes. The paper emphasizes Bitcoin’s position as a “diversifier,” contrasting it with traditional assets by highlighting its fleeting correlations with U.S. equities and USD interest rates.

The whitepaper also provides a detailed analysis of Bitcoin’s journey to a $1 trillion market capitalization. It reveals that Bitcoin outpaced all major asset classes in seven of the last ten years, delivering an impressive annualized return of over 100%.

The paper also emphasizes Bitcoin’s perceived insulation from global macroeconomic factors. It suggests that Bitcoin has emerged as a “flight to safety” during times of geopolitical uncertainty for some investors.

Furthermore, BlackRock argues that Bitcoin offers a hedge against potential U.S. dollar weakness, which could arise from the growing federal deficit.

Bitcoin’s Unique Characteristics

The whitepaper contrasts Bitcoin with U.S. equities by emphasizing Bitcoin’s continuous trading and near-instantaneous cash settlement. This enhances its liquidity during market stress.

Unlike traditional equities that are confined to standard trading hours, Bitcoin operates 24/7. This makes Bitcoin a highly saleable asset in times of financial uncertainty, offering an advantage over traditional assets that are less accessible during such periods.

However, the whitepaper concludes that Bitcoin remains a high-risk asset. Bitcoin’s risks are distinct from those of traditional investment assets, and its behavior and risk factors cannot be easily categorized within simple “risk on” versus “risk off” frameworks.

All in all, Bitcoin’s unique characteristics make it a special case, showing that traditional risk assessment models may not fully capture its complexities.

Regulación de criptomonedas: Un desafío global en evolución

Las criptomonedas han revolucionado el panorama financiero mundial, ofreciendo una alternativa descentralizada al sistema bancario tradicional. Sin embargo, la rápida adopción de estos activos digitales ha planteado importantes desafíos regulatorios. Gobiernos y organismos internacionales se enfrentan a la tarea de establecer marcos regulatorios efectivos que equilibren la innovación y la protección del consumidor, mientras se mitigan riesgos como el lavado de dinero, el fraude y la volatilidad del mercado.

El panorama actual Desde el lanzamiento de Bitcoin en 2009, miles de criptomonedas han surgido, ganando popularidad en todo el mundo. Esta creciente aceptación ha presionado a los gobiernos para desarrollar políticas regulatorias que aborden sus particularidades. Sin embargo, debido a la naturaleza transfronteriza y descentralizada de las criptomonedas, cada país ha adoptado un enfoque diferente.

Por ejemplo, países como Japón han sido pioneros en la regulación al reconocer legalmente las criptomonedas como medios de pago, mientras que en países como China se han impuesto prohibiciones completas a la minería y el comercio de criptomonedas. En Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, los reguladores están en proceso de crear un marco normativo más claro y cohesivo, aunque persisten debates sobre la clasificación de los criptoactivos, ya sea como valores, mercancías o algo completamente nuevo.

Principales preocupaciones regulatorias Protección del consumidor: Las criptomonedas son notoriamente volátiles, lo que ha llevado a muchos inversores a sufrir pérdidas significativas. Los reguladores buscan implementar medidas que protejan a los consumidores, como la transparencia en las ofertas iniciales de monedas (ICO) y la educación sobre los riesgos asociados.

Prevención del lavado de dinero (AML) y financiamiento del terrorismo: Dada su naturaleza anónima o pseudónima, las criptomonedas han sido utilizadas en actividades ilícitas. Los reguladores están implementando estrictas normativas de “conoce a tu cliente” (KYC) para prevenir estos delitos y hacer más rastreables las transacciones.

Innovación versus control: Un desafío constante es cómo equilibrar la innovación tecnológica con la necesidad de control gubernamental. Muchos gobiernos temen que una regulación demasiado estricta ahogue la innovación, mientras que una regulación laxa podría fomentar fraudes y otros delitos financieros.

Hacia una regulación global La falta de una regulación uniforme ha generado una “fragmentación regulatoria”, donde los criptoinversionistas buscan países con normativas más flexibles. Esto ha llevado a que organismos internacionales, como el G20, discutan la necesidad de coordinar esfuerzos globales para regular el sector de manera efectiva y coherente. Sin embargo, aún queda un largo camino por recorrer para lograr un consenso.

En conclusión, la Regulación de criptomonedas es un tema de gran complejidad que evoluciona constantemente. Encontrar un equilibrio entre el fomento de la innovación tecnológica y la protección del sistema financiero es el principal reto de los reguladores en todo el mundo.

Bitcoins – A Disruptor Or Portent For Future

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a digital currency released by Satoshi Nakamoto which is used to make payments of any value without fees. It runs on the block chain, a decentralized ledger kept running by “miners” whose powerful computers crunch transactions and are rewarded in bitcoins.

Understanding bitcoins

A bitcoin is a virtual medium of exchange, a type of cryptocurrency, which is created and tracked online and is secured using cryptography. It is based on blockchain technology, which makes the transactions irreversible, decentralised and publicly verifiable. Blockchain maintains an audit trail, making the transactions quite transparent. A key feature associated with bitcoins is the absence of a centralised authority to issue, exchange, monitor and regulate the currency.

These also offer anonymity, as the currency holder is known by her account ID (wallet ID), and the know-your-customer (KYC) processes may not always be implemented. The transactions done are faster and not bound by geographical limitations, which can help in cost savings on currency conversion charges and other transaction fees. All these aspects create a unique position for bitcoins, possessing both pros and cons, depending on the consumer’s point of view.

Bitcoins versus digital currency

Currently, there is a fair amount of ambiguity around the terms ‘virtual’ and ‘digital’, with many often using them interchangeably. However, the distinction between both these terms can be explained, taking into account some key parameters.

Transparency in transactions:

There is more transparency in digital currency as compared to cash, but tracing source of funds and historical transactions can often be cumbersome. Bitcoins offer higher transparency, with the chain of historical transactions available.

Potential fraud risks:

Digital currency has higher susceptibility, if key information is compromised. In case of fraud, banks may sometimes offer protection of assets. Bitcoins are comparatively less prone to fraud loss. The risk lies at the user’s end, unless the wallet is compromised by hackers.

Speed of execution:

Digital currency transactions tend to be quick but adding the beneficiaries may take some time. Bitcoin transactions are relatively quicker.

Volatility in value:

The value of digital currency is mostly stable and is determined by macroeconomic factors. For bitcoins, it is very volatile as it is not backed by any reserves.

Supply:

While it may seem that…
