New feature in MetaMask

-
Image
Consensys, the operator of the MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet, announced the launch of Smart Transactions. Customers will be able to send transactions to a virtual mempool (short for memory pool ) to simulate transactions. The developers promise that the new feature will help counteract the transfer of data to third parties. Consensys representatives claim that Smart Transactions will help protect cryptocurrency wallet clients from MEV bots and other types of fraud. MEV bots monitor mempools with pending transactions, and are activated when they detect large trades. The bots create two trades at once: one before the detected transaction and one after. As a result, the client falls into the asset price slippage trap and loses his funds. In addition to protecting against MEV bots, the virtual mempool can perform transaction modeling, giving users the ability to receive lower fees for cryptocurrency transactions.

Willy Woo expects bitcoin at $1 million by 2035

-
Image
Popular cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo believes bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2035. This prediction is obtained by taking the user growth curve for valuation. What is meant here is fair value, not peak value during a bull market frenzy. After bitcoin's emergence, the price didn't catch up with the number of users as quickly. Bitcoin didn't trade at all until it had its thousandth user. It was only after the emergence of cryptocurrency exchanges, the launch of Bitstamp in 2011, that global venues emerged to value the asset. After 2012, the price of BTC largely corresponded to the growth in the number of users. Willy Woo emphasized that right now, bitcoin adoption is still in the early stages. According to him, only 4.7% of people have used bitcoin. This corresponds to the spread of the Internet in 1999.

💰 Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, addressed his subscribers on social network X with two pieces of news. The bad news is that the crash has already begun, and it's only going to get worse. The good news: the crisis is the best time to get rich. The entrepreneur advised investors to prioritize gold, silver and bitcoin, emphasizing their enduring value. These assets are resilient during economic turmoil and tend to appreciate even during fluctuations in traditional markets. 🤖 The billionaire advised investors to start their own business out of fear that artificial intelligence could destroy millions of jobs. Therefore, it is better to start a small business and become an entrepreneur rather than an employee who is afraid of losing his job.
