We're still north of $552,000 in fact cointelegraph markets Data shows that in the past 24 hours We've seen a low of$ 51,0 41 and a high Of $ 52,55 so now Bitcoin has established Itself above that threshold of $50,000 What is next the popular Trader Titan of Crypto has shared some analysis on X That sets a Target they wrote as I've Been asked a lot what is next for Bitcoin in the comments here's my Analysis both Target 1 and two have been Hit but $50,900 is a strong level if Bitcoin manages to close a weekly candle Above Target three at $55,500 is next Note that given the extremely bullish Momentum Target 3 has high chance to get Hit even before the end of this week There is no doubt that there is a strong Bullish sentiment at the moment but that Can also lead to Greed and in this case One Trader has cautioned over unhinged Greed the trader and analyst credible Crypto put out a thread with their Analysis on the current situation they Wrote on X at the end of the day for Every major parabolic rise there is a Major crash and vice versa adding that You don't get unhinged greed and Euphoria and the vertical price Appreciation that comes with it without An equal and opposite reaction when that Euphoria Peaks so although we are seeing

A lot of bullish momentum right now a Snap correction is certainly on the Cards this was echoed by others in the Space such as Michael Vander poop Founder and CEO of MN trading who called The market already slightly overheated But look there's no rain on the parade Right now everything is going Beautifully and that bullish momentum is Strong but we just need to stay cautious As there'll likely be some pullback According to some analysts On Friday the 9th of February's episode I explained what ERC 404 is and why it's Garnering rather a lot of attention for A full breakdown of that project that Launched only last week listen to that Episode it's the second story on that Friday but for a quick summary here you Go the ERC 404 token standard aims to Bind ERC 721 nfts to erc20 tokens erc721 Are the oneof one nfts such as board Apes and erc20 tokens are actual tokens Such as usdt this will create what some Call fractionalized nfts that is Multiple wallets can hold a part of a Single nft this concept has been around A while and there's been a few attempts Of it but ERC 404 has shown a lot of Promise however yesterday Jesse cockland Covered a direct rival called DN 404 Which claims to fix the inefficiencies Of ERC 404 so the divisible nft standard Dn44 aims to create a hybrid of erc20

And ERC 721 exactly as the ERC 404 token Standard does however unlike the ERC 404 Project going under the name Pandora Dn44 isn't a project the developer is Releasing the code open source for any Person or project to build hybrid tokens With it you see it appears that the Reason for the creation of this DN 404 Is to improve on the execution of ERC 404 the pseudonymous developer cigar 0x Cy g a a r on X explained the motivation In a post it reads what does dn44 Ultimately achieve our end goal was to Create a token standard that could act As an nft with Native fractionalization Built in this was a unique unlock of ERC 404 that allowed users to trade portions Of nfts without any middleman so on the Question of the distinctions between Dn44 and ERC 44 cigar wrote the premise Of the ERC 404 was to create a single Contract that can act as both fungible And non-fungible token however this Can't be done without introducing Exploits and breaking standards our Approach instead uses two contracts a Bas erc20 with a mirror erc721 look I Want to avoid going too deep down the Techy Rabbit Hole here as this podcast Is 15 minutes or less but one question I Did have about ERC 404 was how it Differs from ERC 1155 which is already a Multi-token standard in fact I decided To brush up on my knowledge and 55

Actually combines erc20 and 721 exactly As DN 44 and ERC 44 does luckily seagar Has spoken on this topic and he said Some may argue that these hybrid tokens Are nothing more than ERC 1155 with Extra flare I argue that having nfts That can trade on nft exchanges as well As dexes is a new unlock and we haven't Seen it before native fractionalization Adds more liquidity to nft projects so I Guess the question of whether ERC 4 4 Has a rival or not depends on what Happens next with the dn44 code and that Is if it is indeed Superior and Comparing the code of the two is beyond My paygrade in theory if dn44 is open Source ERC 44 could utilize it Themselves whatever the case I'll Echo Something I've said in previous episodes And that is I don't think nfts will look The same this bull market as they did in The last one I think hybrid token Standards are going to be one to watch As nfts continue to evolve You'll know by now that when there is a New scam or hack I like to flag it to You as I think that's an important part Of these daily debriefs and this story Is as much of a quick warning as it is News there is a fake app that is Impersonating the decentralized finance Protocol curve and has been listed on The official Apple App Store developers Warned of this scam yesterday and is

Listed on the app store by MK technology Co-limited and currently has 4.6 stars Out of five it says it is a powerful app For managing your borrowers and their Loans and it might indeed be powerful But not at all in the way you want curve Does not currently have an app so if you Use curve do not be Fooled in a couple of recent episodes I've discussed the comparison of the Spot Bitcoin ETFs with gold ETFs I Covered the comments from the CEO of Core scientific Darren Feinstein who Really convinced me of just how much More the spot Bitcoin ETFs have to offer Over gold ETFs then this stance was Doubled down on by Kathy Wood W the CEO Of Arc invest who pointed out that Bitcoin is acting as a substitute to Gold as a riskof asset gold and Bitcoin Have had an unusual relationship over The years they have been inversely Correlated where one goes up and the Other goes down and then analysis from The last year by Fidelity showed that Bitcoin's correlation with gold has Increased however it's only since January that the average American Investor could choose between a gold ETF And a spot Bitcoin ETF and this is fast Becoming a fascinating narrative Yesterday Bloomberg's ETF analyst and Regular of this show Eric balinas posted On X to show that the 14 leading gold
