Keep getting liquidated? DeFi newcomer Passage wants to help

Wednesday’s drop in the price of bitcoin was sudden, unexpected and severe — about 10%, followed by an equally sharp 5% bounce back. Passage, a new dapp launching today on Ethereum rollup Arbitrum, aims to help traders bet on volatility in a new, gamified way.

Passage is a market for trading volatility simply, without relying on more complex options strategies. It’s essentially a prediction market for price ranges, offering short duration —  initially two days — ETH-denominated contracts.

The concept is to allow for trading volatility as intuitively as a perpetual future (perp), but the product can also serve as an effective complement to perp trading, according to co-founder…

Bitcoin As A 21st Century Piece Of Eight

Many commentators compare Bitcoin with gold, the idea being that its finite supply makes it an attractive long-term store of value. There have been historical examples of broad adoption of gold currencies, such as the British Empire’s sovereign and half-sovereign. However, adoption of the sovereigns was often promoted and directed by the British imperial government, much to the dismay of local administrators who often suffered currency shortages. Bitcoin has no nation state to promote its adoption, so the comparison between it and gold sovereigns is a weak one. One of the world’s most heavily used silver currencies, the Spanish silver dollar, may offer a better comparison.

The Spanish…

Bitcoin’s January Returns: Decoding Cryptocurrency’s Resilience

When it comes to investing in Bitcoin, January has historically been a month of wild rides. A bar graph analysis of the cryptocurrency’s performance from 2012 to 2023 reveals a pattern as erratic as it is exciting.

The years 2013 and 2023 stand out with soaring gains of 49.9% and 39.9%, respectively, painting a picture of a digital asset capable of delivering outstanding returns. These spikes in performance hint at the underlying potential of Bitcoin, an asset unbound by traditional financial systems, and governed by the free market’s pure supply and demand dynamics.

In contrast, years like 2015 and 2018 showcase significant dips, with January returns plummeting to -32.1% and -28.1%. However, even these downturns contribute to the narrative of Bitcoin as an asset for the bold—where there is risk, there is also the potential for reward.

Bitcoin’s volatile nature is not for the faint-hearted, yet for those willing to ride out its fluctuations, the graph suggests that January’s chill winds can bring a harvest of gains. The data illustrates not only Bitcoin’s capacity for recovery but also its resilience as an investment frontier that continues to attract the audacious and the visionary.

What Is A Bitcoin Maximalist?

Asking “what is a Bitcoin Maximalist?” is a surefire way to get a variety of answers depending on who you ask. Some would say a Bitcoin Maximalist is someone who stacks sats, only eats meat, and suns their private parts, others would say it is someone with laser eyes in their social media pics, and a third person might say it is anyone who stacks bitcoin and avoids the other digital assets.

At this point, the question might as well be rhetorical. However, in classic Bitcoin psychopath mentality, this article will try to answer it anyways.

A Bitcoin Maximalist Calls Out Scams

A Bitcoin Maximalist (often called a bitcoin maxi too) is often seen as a guardian of…
