Bitcoin vs Open Interest Should traders be worried by THIS divergence
The price action of Bitcoin has recently been scrutinized, but savvy traders are also paying attention to something even more telling: a significant divergence between open interest in Bitcoin and its price. The derivatives market may be sending a cautious signal while the spot market maintains its optimism. Analysts are concerned about this divergence, which raises the question of whether traders should be concerned. Understanding what open interest actually entails is essential before delving into its ramifications. The total number of unresolved derivative contracts in the futures and options markets is referred to as open interest. It shows how much activity and participation there is in the market. An increase in open interest typically suggests that new money is flowing into the market, which can reinforce a trend. A decline could indicate that traders are closing positions, which could indicate indecisiveness or exhaustion of the trend. The price of Bitcoin has been either steady or showing signs of rising, hovering in bullish territory above key support levels in recent weeks. However, open interest in Bitcoin futures has not followed suit. In fact, in several instances, open interest has dropped or stagnated while prices climbed—a classic divergence.

Altcoin season could be near: Why June can see a 2021-style rally
**Altcoin Season Could Be Near: Why June Can See a 2021-Style Rally** Numerous analysts and investors are beginning to speculate that an altcoin season may be just around the corner as the cryptocurrency market continues to show signs of recovery. The month of June, historically a favorable period for crypto rallies, is shaping up to potentially mirror the explosive growth seen in 2021. The stage may be set for altcoins to take the lead as Bitcoin's strength and dominance plateau. ### What Is the Season for Altcoins? Altcoin season, or "alt season," refers to a period when alternative cryptocurrencies—those other than Bitcoin—outperform the leading digital asset. During this phase, investors rotate capital from Bitcoin into smaller market cap assets in pursuit of higher gains. This is a time when tokens like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and a number of smaller-cap projects saw huge returns in a short amount of time. Typically, altcoin seasons follow a strong Bitcoin rally as market participants look for the “next big thing.”

Sacred Stories Deserve Sacred Hands: Why I Rejected an AI-Generated Book Cove
I wanted the cover to reflect the reverence of the story. Timeless Witness: Birth of Hope is rooted in ancient prophecy and biblical truth, written to draw readers closer to the sacred events that changed the world. I wasn't just hiring someone to make a graphic—I was inviting them into something holy. When the designer told me she'd be crafting the cover by hand, I believed her. And for a moment, I was genuinely excited.

The Ultimate Manifesto of Absurd Revolution
Part I: The Stage is Set, the Play is Mad Act I: The Absurdity Overture Reality, as we've been sold it, is a limited-run stage production directed by a committee of gibbering baboons. The set design is... ambitious. Picture this: gated communities sprouting like gleaming, chrome-plated fungi next to favelas cobbled together from desperation and discarded dreams. A smiling cartoon dog, perpetually sipping coffee, while the ozone layer develops a comb-over and the polar bears start taking bets on which of us goes extinct first.
