🪦 Are NFTs really dead? Even blockchain games are disappearing from major conferences
The NFT market is going through a complicated period... to the point that some are now talking about the 'death' of the sector.

🚀Bitcoin: The myth of the 4-year cycle is dead — Welcome to an institutional era!
According to Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, the famous four-year Bitcoin market cycle — based on halvings and the traditional phases of rises followed by corrections — may belong to the past.
