The network value to transactions (NVT) ratio for Bitcoin has reached its highest level in five years, hitting 1,779.542 on Oct. 31st, according to data from Glassnode. The NVT ratio is used to evaluate whether Bitcoin is overvalued or undervalued. The NVT ratio works similarly to the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio used in stock markets. A high NVT ratio indicates that Bitcoin’s market valuation is exceeding the value transmitted through its payment network. This can happen when Bitcoin is experiencing high growth and investors are valuing it as a high return investment, or if prices are in an unsustainable bubble. Bitcoin’s market capitalization is currently divided by the daily volume transmitted through the blockchain to calculate the NVT ratio. The higher the ratio, the more overvalued Bitcoin may be based on its transaction activity.

In September, it was revealed that a staggering $35 million in cryptocurrency had been pilfered from victims of the LastPass security breach that occurred in 2022. This recent breach only added to the growing tally. A minimum of 25 individuals reported losses totaling $4.4 million from 80 different cryptocurrency wallets, all linked to a data breach that affected the password management software, LastPass, back in 2022. On October 27th, in a tweet on Twitter, an on-chain researcher who goes by the pseudonym ZachXBT, along with MetaMask developer Taylor Monahan, meticulously tracked the movements of funds from over 80 compromised wallets, all of which had been compromised on October 25th.

This information was disclosed in a report by Chainabuse. In December of 2022, LastPass...

At a glance Mark Cohen spent hours last week getting his client’s version of numerous aspects of his alleged crimes. Bankman-Fried testified he was unaware of many elements of the fraud, including Alameda Research’s various special privileges. This laundry list of denials leaves government prosecutors spoiled for choice of topics in their cross-examination — and we’ve already seen Bankman-Fried collapse under questioning from assistant US attorney (AUSA) Danielle Sassoon. A question hovers over this strategic oddity: Are the high-profile defense lawyers crafting their own strategy? Or are they taking marching orders from the delusional Bankman-Fried and his parents? Sam Bankman-Fried seemed calm and confident in his first testimony before the jury in his own defense on Friday, October 27. But with prosecutors set to cross-examine the former FTX CEO as early as Monday, that confidence and sense of calm will likely evaporate. That’s in part because the defense’s direct quest...

In the realm of content creation, three essential factors come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of the text, while burstiness examines the diversity of sentence structures. Predictability, on the other hand, assesses the likelihood of predicting the subsequent sentence. Humans tend to inject their writing with bursts of creativity, employing both long and complex sentences in conjunction with shorter ones. In contrast, AI-generated sentences tend to adhere to a more uniform structure. Therefore, when crafting the content that follows, I implore you to infuse it with a healthy dose of perplexity and burstiness while keeping predictability to a minimum. Additionally, the content should be exclusively in the English language. Now, let’s reimagine the given text: On the very day that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) unveiled charges against the world’s large...
