With Insight Honed Since $5 BTC, Tuur Demeester Is Ready For Bitcoin 2023 "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Tuur Demeester, a macroeconomic analyst who has offered insight into Bitcoin since 2012, will bring his unique insight to Bitcoin 2023.

Tuur Demeester has a self-described out of the box approach to macroeconomic analysis, and its one that has made his insight into Bitcoins unprecedented potential sought after by institutions (in 2021, Demeesters bitcoin alpha fund Adamant Capital was sold to Blockstream, where he is now an advisor) as well as individuals (Demeesters is ranked as the third best Bitcoin Twitter account to follow by social media analyst Hive.One).

Combining deep research into historical patterns, an academically-rigorous approach and a willingness to embrace new innovation, Demeesters outlook on how Bitcoin fits into our wider world has been remarkable for its consistency and prescience for more than a decade.

He first recommended BTC as an investment to readers of his newsletter in 2012, when it was priced at $5. In 2013 (with bitcoin priced around $100), he told Bitcoin Magazine:

I think bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies are the greatest investment opportunity of our day and age. First of all because bitcoin has all the qualities to make for an ideal money, to a greater extent than any digital or tangible commodity on the planet. Second, in contrast with traditional fiat money, bitcoin is designed for the internet; its open source, its mobile, fast, and it allows for personal privacy. Third, because we are approaching a bankruptcy event in the developed economies, both in banks and governments, I think that bitcoin, as a discrete and nonconfiscatable currency, will benefit greatly from the capital flight that will ensue.

As more people around the world have realized Demeester is right about this nascent digital currency, his own perspective has continued to grow. In the introductory note to Adamants landmark research paper from 2019, The Bitcoin Reformation, Demeester made the case that bitcoin was not merely a new kind of money, but represented a fundamental shift with few precedents in history.

In the past Ive drawn parallels between bitcoin and the early petroleum industry, the search engine wars, the domain name markets, the growth of P2P file sharing, and internet protocols, he explained. But I kept feeling that I was failing to fundamentally grasp the magnitude of the epoch in which bitcoin functions as a catalyst. It wasnt until I studied the era around the Protestant Reformation that I felt Id found a potential blueprint of sufficient scope.

Kaspa (KAS), Render (RNDR), Injective (INJ) See Upside Amid Market Crash, Whats Going On? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Kaspa (KAS), Injective (INJ), and Render (RNDR) are bucking against the general crypto market trend after sustaining gains over the last day. This follows a bearish movement that occurred after Bitcoin reclaimed the $29,000 level. A flash crash sent the pioneer cryptocurrency back to $27,500 and the crypto market tumbled along with it. However, not all altcoins in the space followed this as three assets have continued to see gains.

Kaspa (KAS) Rises Over 10%

In the hours that followed Bitcoins decline, Kaspa (KAS) was one of the cryptocurrencies that were able to shake off the bears with ease. In the last day, the altcoin is up over 10% and was able to reclaim the $0.03 level before experiencing some resistance and correcting back down.

One reason behind the impressive movement has been the announcement that the cryptocurrency would be getting listed on its very first exchange in the United States. The Uphold digital asset trading platform is listing the altcoin for trading on Thursday, April 27, and the news of this listing saw the trading volume of the cryptocurrency rise over 82%, leading to its surge in price.

KAS has also seen multiple exchange listings this month with LBank and Bitget also listing the digital asset for trading in the last week.

Kaspa (KAS) price chart from TradingView.com

Injective (INJ) Gains Reach 9%

Injective (INJ) protocol has been behind Kaspa (KAS) when it comes to gains. Over the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has rallied around 9%, making it one of the best performers for this time period. This gain has brought the digital assets price to about $8.85, clearing the dreaded resistance at $8.8.

INJs gains for the last month have also risen to 139% on the 30-day chart. Its trading volume has seen a 51% increase as well and is now sitting at $332 million.

Render (RNDR) Maintains Considerable Gains

Render (RNDR) has seen the lowest gains of the bunch but that does not mean that the altcoin has done poorly by any measure. With over 6% gains in a 24-hour period, RNDR has emerged as one of the only cryptocurrencies to be seeing green during these uncertain times.

Just like the others, the altcoin is also doing well on the 7-day and 30-day charts. It is up 10.43% in the last week and 99.99% on the monthly chart. Its trading volume is also up as well with an 81.34% increase in one day.

Whats Driving These Gains?

Besides Kaspas listing on the Uphold exchange, there seems to be no apparent reason why the other coins are pumping. It mostly comes to some leftover momentum from...

Shiba Inu Whales Unload Billions Amid SHIB Price Retreat "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

The cryptocurrency market has been highly volatile in recent weeks, with Shiba Inu making headlines as a popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency.

Over the last 24 hours, the price of the popular meme coin witnessed a slight uptick of approximately 5%, which drew the attention of investors and traders.

However, as of the time of writing, the cryptocurrency has seen a decline of 2.32% in, resulting in mixed sentiments among its holders.

The minor surge in the price of Shiba Inu was enough to stimulate selling activities among crypto whales large investors with significant holdings of digital assets.

Such market players are known to have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market, and their behavior is often closely monitored by other investors.

As per the information shared by Etherscan, a few prominent wallets have transferred almost 6 billion SHIB to two leading cryptocurrency exchanges through multiple transactions.

Whale Transactions On Major Crypto Exchanges

A considerable amount of Shiba Inu (SHIB) was recently transferred to two of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Uniswap and Binance. The transfers were made in multiple transactions, with the largest of them carrying 2,208,284,207 and 1,472,189,471 SHIB, respectively.

The goal of these transfers was likely to sell SHIB, triggered by earlier price surge. The total value of these transfers is significant, as the recent overnight price surge has increased the value of 6 billion SHIB to $64,440.

How will these significant transactions impact the overall market trends of SHIB, and what does it indicate about the sentiments of these influential investors? 

Meanwhile, one whale took an opposite approach and added several billion SHIB to their meme coin portfolio. 

This particular whale made four purchases of slightly under 4,000,000,000 SHIB each over the past two hours and now holds a whopping 15,996,999,997 SHIB. 

It remains to be seen how these whale transactions will impact the market trends of SHIB in...

Trammell Venture Partners Releases Venture Industrys First Bitcoin-Native Startup Ecosystem Research "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

The report examines the growth of the industry and highlights the discrepancy between bitcoins dominance and the level of investment bitcoin startups receive.

Trammell Venture Partners (TVP), an Austin-based venture capital firm focused on Bitcoin, has released the venture industry's first Bitcoin-native startup ecosystem research. The study found that despite the market drawdown in the broader crypto market in 2022, Bitcoin has emerged as a growth category in venture capital, with a 52.9% increase in deal activity year-over-year. The report also highlighted the misallocation of capital for Bitcoin startups and the gap in institutional venture capital for founders focused on the Bitcoin tech stack and ecosystem.

Christopher Calicott, TVPs managing director and founding partner, commented in a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine that Bitcoin the first, best, and only truly decentralized crypto asset is becoming a platform at an accelerating pace. Despite its consistent market capitalization dominance, venture capital into Bitcoin startups in 2022 only represented about 1.3% of invested capital sector wide. TVP intends to change that.

According to the press release, TVP launched the venture industry's first dedicated Bitcoin-native ecosystem-focused fund series in 2021 with a goal of institutionalizing venture investment for this emerging growth category within the wider crypto venture capital industry. The release of the Emerging Bitcoin-Native Venture Capital Research Brief marks a new phase of TVP's plans to augment the available research for Bitcoin startups.

Technical development of Bitcoin Core has proceeded carefully, avoiding inducing risk associated with fast changes, yet the growth of the Bitcoin startup category has begun to accelerate in the last two years, the press release states. In addition, technology enablements such as SegWit (2017) and Taproot (2021) activations gave rise to the Lightning Network and other areas for entrepreneurial exploration and development.

TVPs Emerging Bitcoin-Native Venture Capital Research Brief is available for download on the company's website.

Thousands of Meticulously Layered Strips of Metal Bring Seluk Ylmazs Big Cat Sculptures to Life "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Jaguar. All images Seluk Ylmaz, shared with permission

Thousands of thin, intricately placed metal strips form powerful wildlife portraits by Seluk Ylmaz (previously). Adding new meaning to big cats, his recent series explores the legendary power, courage, and resilience of jaguars, lions, and the prehistoric saber-tooth tiger. A painstaking process of hammering, layering and welding individual pieces links realistic representation and the addition of artistic elements, such as the regal adornment on the forehead of the lion, which is titled King.

Minimal, abstracted contours delineate the form of Ylmazs saber-tooth tiger, a huge cat that roamed what is now North and South America for millennia until they became extinct about 10,000 years ago. Combining a realistic face with a simple outline, the artist draws attention to its snarling expression and the fact that we can only imagine what the early mammals actually looked like. In Jaguar, a lifelike portrayal of a muscular feline interacts with the light through layered textures. Since light and metal have opposite properties, they can create an interesting balance and contrast when they come together, the artist tells Colossal. It gives the feeling that light has a soul.

US Troops on the Ground in Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

Its official the US is at war with Russia. This is no longer a proxy war regardless of whether an official declaration has been made. Washington confirmed that there is a small U.S. military presence, but only made the admission after the Pentagon data leak. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby insists American soldiers are not fighting on the battlefield. I wont talk to the specifics of numbers and that kind of thing. But to get to your exact question, there is a small U.S. military presence at the embassy in conjunction with the Defense Attachs office to help us work on accountability of the material that is going in and out of Ukraine, Kirby said, claiming the troops are connecting to a specific embassy. The initial data leak showed that there are also at least 50 troops from the UK on the ground in Ukraine, along with military personnel from 33 NATO nations. The New York Times reported on Monday morning that NATO members are amassing their troops along the border. NATO is rapidly moving from what the military calls deterrence by retaliation to deterrence by denial. In the past, the theory was that if the Russians invaded, member states would try to hold on until allied forces, mainly American and based at home, could come to their aid and retaliate against the Russians to try to push them back, Steven Erlanger wrote. But NATO is going on the offensive rather than the defensive this time around. To prevent that, to deter by denial, means a revolution in pract...

Link "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

If an experimental vaccine were to damage the heart and immune system in a significant number of individuals who received it, it is possible that it could lead to a decline in the overall population size. This could occur for a number of reasons.
  • First, damage to the heart could lead to an increase in cardiovascular diseases, which are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. This could result in a higher number of deaths among individuals who received the vaccine.
  • Second, damage to the immune system could leave individuals more susceptible to other infections and diseases, which could also contribute to an increase in mortality.
  • Last, but by no means least, the negative impacts of the vaccine on fertility and reproductive health could lead to a decline in the number of births, further contributing to a decline in the overall population size.
If such a vaccine were to be developed and distributed, it could potentially lead to depopulation due to increased mortality and decreased fertility. Unfortunately, the world has found itself in a situation where powerful institutions and Governments have coerced millions of people into getting an experimental Covid-19 vaccine that causes all of the ill-fated things mentioned above. Official Government reports and confidential Pfizer documents prove it. Therefore, you are witnessing mass depopulation unfold before your very eyes. The push for mass Covid-19 vaccination was never about combating a virus. It was about reducing the global population. This goal aligns with the interests of certain powerful corporations and individuals who stand to benefit from a smaller, more manageable population now that AI is advanced enough to replace hundreds of millions of workers.

These People Were Stunned At How Quickly A New Co-Worker Got Themselves Fired "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

No one wants to see a new co-worker fail in the office, but sadly, we all know that it happens. Folks arent a good fit, they dont get along with management, or maybe just arent willing to put in the work, but usually, it takes a bit for all of that to shake out.

These people watched newbies come and go with astonishing speed, though, and here are a few reasons that had them turning right back around.

Im cringing myself.

This was a while ago at my old job. New guy gets hired as a busboy. He was super annoying and tried to insert himself into everyones conversation whether they wanted him there or not. It only took a couple of hours for the whole restaurant to hate him.

I was working the bar and he kept eating the bar fruit. I personally didnt care but the manager did. Manager comes over and tells him to stop eating the fruit. He looks the manager in the eye and eats another piece of fruit. Manager says Really? followed by Come with me to the office. New guy promptly replies with Alright man, calm down. I can tell you got that big dick energy for a good reason followed with cliche wink and nudge from his elbow. In front of me and like 4 other employees. I wanted to slam my face into the ice bin, it was so cringey to witness.

He promptly walked out the front door 10 minutes later without his uniform on anymore. The worst thing about it was the manager was an insanely laid back guy. Hell, the whole restaurant was insanely laid back. You really had to try hard to get fired from this place. Had he not thrown in that big dick line, Im almost positive he would have just gotten a slap on the wrist and kept the job.

Ethereum Exchange Inflows Trigger Drop Below $2,080: Will It Slide Lower This Week? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is facing another bout of turbulence as it experiences a fresh influx of coins into exchange addresses. 

According to recent data, this surge in Ethereum inflows is reminiscent of a similar occurrence that coincided with a drop in the cryptocurrencys value below the $2,080 mark. 

The question on the minds of traders and enthusiasts alike is, will this latest wave of inflows lead to a similar outcome?

Ethereum Inflow Analysis

In the past week, Ethereum experienced a decline of 3.51%, with bulls barely managing to keep prices above the $2,000 support zone. However, when Bitcoin was rejected at the $30,000 mark, Ethereum also saw a drop in value. 

Despite this bearish trend, the cryptocurrency managed to post a 1% gain in the last 24 hours and is currently priced at $1,886 according to CoinMarketCap.

 

The 30-day MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio for Ethereum, which measures the average profit or loss of all addresses that acquired ETH within the past month, retreated from a three-month peak in mid-April to negative values at the time of writing. 

This drop was a result of intense selling pressure over the past two weeks, which saw ETHs value decline from $2,125 to $1,820.

The MVRV values indicated that short-term holders of ETH were at a loss, and that the average age of the coins has not changed much in the last week, but it has gone up a little bit in the last few days.

Based on the data of exchange inflow over the past week, it appears that there is a high likelihood of further selling taking place soon.

Ethereum Could See Further Losses; Sentiment Bearish

Given the current market sentiment and technical indicators, its possible that Ethereum could see further losses in the coming days. If the bears continue to dominate the market, the cryptocurrency could break through the $1800 support level and head towards the $1,600 range.

However, if the bulls manage to gain momentum, Ethereum could potentially see a price movement towards the $2,000 range. The 4-hour chart shows a resistance level at $1,890, which, if broken, could lead to a potential pric...

Polygon (MATIC) Keeps Going Down Despite Bullish News, Buy The Dip? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

The Polygon (MATIC) price is currently at a crucial moment. Despite bullish news, MATIC has been in a downtrend since mid-February. After retesting the March 10 low yesterday, the price is at a turning point.

According to data from on-chain data provider IntoTheBlock, Polygon token holders in profit fell to 34% this week. This is the lowest level since February. Therefore, analyst @CryptoTheBeast_ raises the question whether MATIC will turn around here or continue its downward trajectory?

MATIC Price Needs Quick Reversal

The 1-day chart of MATIC reveals that MATIC lost the bull line, the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) last Thursday. The indicator served as Polygons key support on March 10 and again in late March this year.

Since breaking below the 200-day EMA, currently at $1.0521, MATIC failed to rise above it. If there is no timely recovery and another rejection (like yesterday), MATIC could fall towards the support level at $0.81.

However, with an RSI of 35 on the 1-day chart, MATIC is near oversold territory. So, this price could be the biggest pain for now. On the other hand, regaining the 200-day EMA could avoid this scenario. As then, the 23.6% Fibonacci level at $1.09 is expected to come into focus.

A dynamic move above this area would open the possibility for a rise towards the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $1.185. In this area at the latest, greater selling pressure from the bears can be expected.

Afterwards, the next target of great importance is the 50% Fibonacci level at $1.25. In mid-March, MATIC got rejected at this level and thus failed to achieve a reversal towards the February high.

Would You Limit Your Wedding Budget In Order To Let Your Sister-In-Law Have A Win? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

If you base things on Reddit, weddings are a huge source of contention in way too many families these days. What to serve, who is invited, what is the dress code, how much are we spending its a lot to manage on its own, never mind when youre trying to take other peoples feelings into consideration.

OPs sister-in-law had a beautiful, pricey wedding of her own, which according to OP, fits with her personality.

Im (29f) from a middle-class family and have an older brother (35m), lets call him Adrian. He is a self-taught software engineer and makes pretty good money.

A little over 1 year ago he married his girlfriend (28f) of 6 years, lets call her Heather. Shes not a bad person but I think shes a little bit spoiled. Shes the type that loves to brag about all the expensive stuff her husband bought her and their wedding was pretty extravagant.

She still loves to talk about how it was the most amazing wedding shes ever been to. My brother is kind of wrapped around her finger but it never really mattered until now.

Now it is OPs turn, and since her fiancee is well-off and willing to foot the bill, shes thrilled to be able to have the wedding of pretty much anyones dreams.

I met my fiancee(36m) about 4 years ago. It was a business event and he owns a decently sized and very successful company. So saying that, hes extremely wealthy. Since he grew up less-than he loves to spend his money on things him and his family could only dream about before.

One of those things is, of course, our wedding. He wants to go all out and hired a somewhat well-known wedding planner to arrange everything.

Honestly, Im pretty excited. I never dreamed of such a luxurious wedding but now that it&#...

Almost two and a half centuries after its first publication, Adam Smiths An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is much better known as simply The Wealth of Nations. Had he written it today, the text itself, which runs between a formidable 500-700 pages in most editions, would also be considerably shorter. Its not just that writers in Smiths day went in for length per se (though many now read as if they did), but that graphs hadnt been invented yet. Much of what hed discovered about the nature of economics could have been expressed more concisely and much more clearly in pictures rather than words.

As it happens, the kind of informational graphs we know best today would be invented by Smiths fellow Scot William Playfair in 1786, just a decade after The Wealth of Nations came out. Data visualization is everywhere today, but when Playfair first created them over 200 years ago, using shapes to represent numbers was largely sneered at, says Adam Rutherford in the Royal Society video above.

TERRIBLE! Bill Gates Caught Funding Effort To Normalize Pedophilia Through International Organization "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

Disgusting Lefty billionaire Bill Gates has been caught funding an international mission to normalize pedophilia and sexualize children through indoctrination. It has come to light that Gates, who serves on the board of Planed Parenthood, is a financial supporter of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), an organization that is also advocating for the sexualization of children at a younger age. In the past few years, Gates has contributed $80 million to the IPPF, which is working to convince the world that children are sexual beings and that it is unethical to deny them the right to have sexual experiences. Remember that the only thing that Bill Gates said he could learn from the death of the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was that we need to be more careful. Does Bill Gates have the welfare of our children in the forefront of his mind? When he talks about children passing away, he cant help but smile, so the likelihood of this happening is extremely low. In 2017, Bill Gates International Pediatric Psychiatry Foundation published a toolkit that provided a revealing insight into their vile agenda and demonstrated exactly how they are attempting to teach sex education to children all over the world. This toolkit was titled Teaching Children About Sexuality. Nicole Solas, a member of the Independent Womens Forum, was the one who first brought attention to the shocking toolkit. https://twitter.com/Nicoletta0602/status/1647617949702709248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1647617949702709248%7Ctwgr%5E238f29e68b6f8a98cefaececb555151b6083f3fa%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fen-volve.com%2F2023%2F04%2F24%2Fbill-gates-caught-funding-effort-to-normalize-pedophilia-through-international-organization%2F
According to the IPPF, children under 10 must be taught that they were born sexual and they should know that sex comes in many forms, including prostitution. Sexual activity may be part of different types of relationships, including dating, marriage, or commercial sex work, among others. The toolkit said that children under 10 should also be told: As you grow up, you might start to be interested in people with diverse gender identities.

Pussy Riot Sends a Powerful Message to Vladimir Putin: You Have Already Lost. You Know It. "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Speaking at TED, Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of Pussy Riot, has a powerful message for Russians today: Resisting the authority of Vladimir Putin is an option. Its a choice. Of that, Tolokonnikova has already provided ample proof. For more than a decade, the members of Pussy Riot have staged high-profile protests in Russia and paid the price, with time served in prison. As she puts it, Courage is an ability to act in the face of fear. And some of us have chosen to live courageously. That example is what makes her a threat:

The reason why I became a threat to the system, not because of any actual physical power that I have, but because courage is contagious. And any act of speaking the truth can cause incalculable transformations in social consciousness. And we all have this power. Its a moral act to use this power. You may or may not achieve the results that you wanted, but there is eternal beauty in trying to find truth, in risking everything youve got for whats right

As always, she saves choice words for Putin: Vladimir Vladimirovich, the Kremlin walls became your prison walls. You have already lost. You know it. Thats why youre so afraid. You lost in spirit. Now we just need Russians at home, and Ukrainians on the battlefield, to make the implicit explicit.

Bitcoin Flash Crash Triggered By Bogus Data? Heres What Happened "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a flash crash yesterday in which the price plummeted from $29,800 to as low as $27,243 in just 60 minutes. The reasons for this violent price movement, which has not been seen on the Bitcoin chart for a long time, has caused speculations about what caused the crash.

The popular Twitter account db (@tier10k) and crypto market intelligence firm Arkham Intelligence are in the crosshairs of the speculation. But what happened?

Bad Data Responsible For Bitcoin Flash Crash?

The crash was allegedly due to a wallet move by the US government and the sell-off of Mt. Gox Bitcoins. The Twitter account db sent out an automated tweet at 4:08 pm EST (8:08 pm UTC) that stated, [DB] Mt Gox and US Govt Wallets Making Transactions, which proved to be false.

Arkham Intelligence denies sending out erroneous messagesto certain users. But @tier10k also denied making a mistake: [DB] Arkham: A Bug Fix Deployed Today Caused Alerts to Be Sent Erroneously to Small Subset of Users, the account wrote as justification, explaining in a follow-up tweet:

Had to wait to get clarification from Arkham, did not want to point the finger incorrectly. Believe they will make a statement soon. Will use multiple on-chain providers going forward.

For its part, Arkham conducted an investigation DB Alert situation and determined that Arkham alerts were sent correctly in this case. The platform claims that DB set two alerts for all Bitcoin transactions worth more than $10,000 and named those alerts Mt Gox and US Gov.

Thus, Arkhams account of events suggests that DB inferred the transactions of specific Bitcoin addresses from the designations he himself assigned.

When we fixed a bug causing us to not send alerts on configs like this, he then correctly received many alerts based on his parameters. No one received inaccurate alerts, they simply began receiving the alerts they had previously set, Arkham states.

Remarkably, Arkham also clarifies that dbs tweets did not trigger Bitcoins flash crash. According to Arkhams research, the crash began before dbs tweet, as the drop occurred between 19:17 and 20:01 UTC (15:17 and 16:01 EST), and the alerts and tweet were sent aft...

GBS screening: the evidence "IndyWatch Feed Fertility"

Group B Strep (GBS) is a bacteria that many of us carry. Most of the time it doesnt cause any problems. Very occasionally, a newborn baby can become infected with this bacteria and become ill. Even more occasionally, GBS disease can lead to serious illness or be fatal.

Pregnant women are offered screening and treatment for GBS, but this is controversial. On this page, Ill explain why, and link to some recent evidence on this topic.

I have written a book called Group B Strep Explained, for those who want to know more about this area, the evidence, and their options.

There are several elements to understanding why GBS screening and treatment is controversial.

As I explained above, GBS disease affects only a very small number of babies, but it can sometimes be serious or fatal.

We can screen women/babies to decide who might be at higher risk, but the rarity of GBS disease and the bluntness of the current screening methods mean that we end up offering unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment (in this case intravenous antibiotics during labour) to hundreds of thousands of women/babies.

We dont have good evidence that antibiotics are beneficial.

Antibiotics are known to have a number of downsides, including that they negatively affect our microbiomes.

Are Pregnant Women Allowed To Ask Their Partners For Extra Slack and Not Get Frustrated? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

The question of whether or not pregnant women deserve special treatment is a touchy one, but I think the partners of those people have different rules.

Like, if your partner is creating your progeny, I definitely think you should go the extra mile in trying to put yourself in their shoes.

OP is pregnant and really starting to feel the changes taking place in her body as far as fatigue, nausea, and general unsteadiness.

Until this point in their marriage things have been fairly equal as far as care tasks and work. They pick up the slack for each other if work is piling up, and according to OP, they do that for each other without complaint.

I (25F) and my husband (26M) are pregnant with our first child. Recently Ive started really feeling the effects of pregnancy on my body. Sometimes I get bad cramping and nausea to the point where if I move Ill likely throw up.

For some background information we both work full time and typically try to split the household tasks equally, although occasionally when one of us has to work late a couple of hours or something the other will pick up the slack.

We also have planned for getting pregnant for a long time so its not like this isnt what he wanted.

Recently, though, when she said she was unable to complete a task because of her pregnancy symptoms, her partner expressed frustration that he would have to do it instead.

We were getting ready to leave today and he asked if I brought the clean laundry up from the dryer in our basement. I said no, I didnt think I could get the laundry up the two flights of stairs so I was planning to just grab what I needed and leave the rest for later.

He made a comment that he was really frustrated I couldnt just grab all the laundry so he didnt have to go a...

Render (RNDR): Biggest Gainer Among Top 100 Cryptos With A 22% Climb "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Render (RNDR) is one of the biggest gaining coins this week. According to CoinGecko, the token is up 11% in the last 24 hours, and 22% in the last week. With Bitcoin and Ethereum experiencing a strong bullish sentiment, RNDR might experience a bigger upside in the medium to long term. 

After a tough start this week, the market is finally showing signs of vigor. According to CoinGecko, the total market cap of crypto rose nearly 3% since yesterday, flipping sentiment from bearish to bullish. 

Despite this, macroeconomic uncertainty will still be a major driving force for the bears. With this week being jam-packed with new data that would affect investor sentiment, investors should stay cautious of the current market situation. 

 

Off-Chain Development Offsets Macro Uncertainty

SOL Price Prediction: Solana Topside Bias Vulnerable Unless It Surges Past $23 "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Solana is struggling below the $23 resistance against the US Dollar. SOL price could decline again if there is a clear move below the $20 support.

  • SOL price is showing bearish signs below the $23 barrier against the US Dollar.
  • The price is now trading below $22.50 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).
  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $22.30 on the 4-hour chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair could start a decent increase if it clears the trend line and then $23.

This past week, Solanas price saw a steady decline from well above the $24 level, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL declined below the $23 and $22 levels to move into a bearish zone.

It even spiked below the $20.50 support. A low is formed near $20.39 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is trading below $22.50 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $22.30 on the 4-hour chart of the SOL/USD pair.

On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $21.75 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $26.03 swing high to the $20.39 low.

SOL Price Prediction

The next major resistance is near the trend line, above which the price could gain bullish momentum and rise toward the $23 resistance or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $26.03 swing high to the $20.39 low. Any more gains might send the price toward the $25 level.

Ethereum Price Holds Ground

A TikTok User Parodied Pharma Company and Said It Was Lowering Insulin Price and the Company Actually Did It! "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Twitters blue check mark verification has raised a lot of eyebrows lately and some folks out there have made a hobby of trolling big corporations by impersonating them.

And a journalist named Sean Morrow made a big splash when he impersonated a pharmaceutical company called Eli Lillyand he announced that insulin would now be FREE. The tweet fooled a lot of folks and even President Joe Biden applauded the move by the company.

Eli Lilly had to scramble and do some damage control and the company eventually announced that it would cap the cost of insulin at $35 per month, which is a huge win for consumers.

In the caption of a TikTok video he made, Morrow said, IDK if I can really take credit for this. But Id like to think the pressure helped.

On Wednesday, the company announced that it would be capping the cost of insulin at $35 per monthand Morrow celebrated the win on TikTok.

Dream Maker

 

The dream maker is in the house

A bad substitution for an estranged spouse

With imagery and quiet as a mouse

Like a beautiful body in a pink blouse,

The dream maker has drifted in

No need in asking where youve been

Three in the morning with stubble on my chin,

Now the psychedelic images begin,

 Image result for time and space

The dream maker knows not time and space

The sleeping mind is the magical place

A momentary escape form the human race

All my worries gone without a trace,

 Image result for time and space

Somewhere a place where I can go

As vapor-like as several feet of snow

As magnificent as a cosmic light show

A sanctuary from ever present sorrow,

The <a href= "https://mainemineralmuseum.org/" rel="noopener" target= "_blank">Maine Mineral & Gem Museum is doing its part to advance our knowledge of space by offering a hefty reward for a meteorite piece recovered from a remote portion of Maine on April 8, 2023.

On April 8, at 11:57 a.m. EDT, some observers in Maine caught a glimpse of a bright fireball above them. The meteorite was detected by NASA's Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Lab. American Meteor Society eyewitnesses also note the event, the 2,002nd of 2023. Despite the frequency of meteorites being sited, very few (around 10) are recovered each year. NASA calculated the strewn field where particles are likely to be found along the Canadian border near Calais, Maine. The area is heavily wooded, and the fragments are likely to be dark and charred.

With handlebars sprouting from his head, and his legs encased in a sparking green fiberglass shell, Esparaza had become a half-human/half-lowrider cyborg. Artist Karla Ekatherine Canseco and other collaborators took turns riding on his back, as they listened on headphones to a narrative about a time-traveling cyborg sent back in time to preserve land for the future. The sculpture was mounted on a frame adapted from a 25-cent childrens pony ride, and in between each rider, the whole contraption emulated the bounce of a lowrider car.

Henry James on Losing a Mother "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

These are hours of exquisite pain; thank Heaven this particular pang comes to us but once.


Henry James on Losing a Mother

Every man or woman who is sane, every man or woman who has the feeling of being a person in the world, and for whom the world means something, every happy person, is in infinite debt to a woman, the visionary psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wrote as he considered the mother as a pillar of society. Having a mother is a lifelong complexity. Losing a mother, no matter the nature or duration of the relationship, is the cataclysm of a lifetime.

That is what Henry James (April 13, 1843February 28, 1916) reckoned with in his thirty-ninth year, recording the loss in a breathtaking diary entry found in The Complete Notebooks of Henry James (public library).

Mattel Unveils New Barbie Doll With Down Syndrome

Barbie Down Syndrome Doll

This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase, My Modern Met may earn an affiliate commission. Please read our disclosure for more info.

American toy company Mattel continues to expand its range of diverse and inclusive Barbies with its latest additiona doll with Down syndrome. This model is part of the Barbie Fashionistas line, a collection that features dolls of different body types, ethnicities, disabilities, and more. With this new Barbie, toy manufacturer Mattel hopes to help more children find representations of themselves in the toys they play with.

The Down syndrome doll was made in collaboration with the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) in the U.S., which oversaw the design of the Barbie to ensure it included characteristics of those who have the condition, including a shorter frame and longer torso. There are also many thoughtful details incorporated into the outfit of the Barbie. For instance, her puff-sleeve mini dress is decorated in a blue and yellow floral print with pink butterflies. Blue and yellow are the colors of Down syndrome awareness, and butterflies symbolize the condition. Even her pink neckless includes a pendant with three arrows, representing the third 21st chromosome that people with Down syndrome have. It also coordinates with the ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) which support her as she walks.

This means so much for our community, who, for the first time, can play with a Barbie doll that looks like them, says Kandi Pickard, NDSS president and CEO. The new model has already sparked positive reactions from those who have Down syndrome, including British model Ellie Goldstein. She shared a video of her reaction to the doll.

A Completely Natural Farmhouse in India "IndyWatch Feed Diy"

Manisha Lath Gupta was certain that she did not want to use concrete for her home in the Chandigarh region of India.  Jitesh Malik is trained as an architect, artist and a landscape architect and thrives on experimenting with materials. He is committed to integrating the indoors and outdoors in artistic ways and that is exactly what he did at Manishas farmhouse. She wanted a home that was sustainable, energy-efficient, aesthetic and comfortable.

Maliks experience in Auroville helped as he brought with him a wealth of expertise about earth architecture. Versatile and viable, this humble material allows for extraordinary diversity in the way it can be used. Earth enables sustainable living with breathable walls and the ability to regulate temperature, humidity, and noise naturally. We chose rammed earth for this project because it has the flexibility of concrete, is cohesive, which lessens the chances of cracks, and provides high heat capacity, explains Malik.

They did what is called a jar test to see if the earth is suitable in terms of its composition that is if it has the right balance of clay, sand and silt.  They adapted the process by replacing cement as a stabilizer with locally sourced lime to great success.

The farmhouse has shallow brick domes in the living room and bedrooms. There is a madras tile roof over the family den, a wooden roof over the dining hall, and earthen pots embedded in the kitchen roof. While most walls are made using rammed earth, the house also has stone gabion walls. There is also a wall that embeds empty glass bottles in it, creating a beautiful texture and subtle filtering of light into the space. The house is a repository of sustainable building practices and materials, and all its various parts are tied together visually and structurally by an upper beam that also serves to make the home earthquake-resistant.

The home is designed on five-acre farmland and faces a seasonal pond. Malik has skillfully integrated the built spaces with the landscapes outdoors, creating enclosed outdoor spaces, small gardens and outdoor seatingall the while ensuring natural light and excellent ventilation into the built rooms.

Sustainability for me is not just about the material; it is not a mental idea. It is not complete unless there is a deep connection, unless you are connecting a place deeply to a practice. It is not about changing the world; it is more about changing...

An Exquisite Enlightenment-Era Book Catalogs 570 Types of Marble in Vivid Color "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

A book open to a spread featuring text and marble specimens

All images Taschen

Six years after the release of a monumental compendium of Dutch birds, the publisher and naturalist Jan Christiaan Sepp (1739-1811) shifted his focus from avians to geology. In 1776, he issued Marmor Soorten, or The Book of Marble, a striking catalog of scientific illustrations and annotations featuring 570 types of the prized stone. This first tome was based on research published by the German engraver Adam Ludwig Wirsing and released in 11 volumes that presented the stunning, crystallized samples in exquisite hues, requiring 100 color plates to print.

A forthcoming release from Taschen reproduces Sepps monumental work in its entirety. Based on two first editions of Marmor Soorten held in collections at Dredsens State and University Library and the Getty Research Institute, the facsimile offers insight into the vast diversity of the material itself and the Enlightenment-era impulses to share knowledge and information with the public.

The Book of Marble will be available in the U.S. in May, and you can pre-order a copy from Taschen.

Add a Cheeky Touch to Your Bedroom With This Quirky Duck Butt Light

night light in the shape of a duck butt

Serious, stylish decor can truly elevate a room; but sometimes, adding something quirky can be a real morale booster. If you want something uplifting that can lighten your mood and your room, the Duck Butt Night Light might be exactly what you're looking for. Not only does it provide a warm glow, but its clever design makes this night lamp fun to turn on and off.

Much like the Existential Crisis Duck night light, its squishy body (or lower half of a body) is interactive. You have to pinch or pat it, and the plump white duck booty will emit a soft light to keep you company. Another fun element of this quirky lamp is how you place it. Whether you want to stand it on its feet against a flat surface or place the flat part down so its feet are dangling in the air, the funny fowl looks like it's stuck head-first with only its bottom half sticking out.

On top of lighting up your room, this cheeky night light can also double as a bookend, keeping any tomes on your nightstand tidy or adding an extra source of light to your personal library. If you're more into watching shows rather than reading before bed, the Duck Butt night lamp can also help you with that. Just place the lamp on its accompanying blue base, which simulates a pond, and you'll be able to use it as a phone stand for a hands-free experience.

The lamp has two adjustable light modesa warm yellow light for a soft illumination that doesn't affect your sleep and a warm white light for reading at night or getting ready before sunrise. Its anti-blue warm LED light wont flicker or hurt your eyes like the light of your phone screen might.

With its 1200 mAh lithium battery, the lamp only needs three hours of charging via USB to work continuously for eight hours with the strongest light mode and 20 hours f...

Bees are critical to American agriculture. They pollinate over $15 billion worth of crops across our country each year. But lately, habitat destruction and colony collapse disorder have wreaked havoc on these incredible creatures. As useful as they are to humans, bees do not receive the same care and concern over their emotional wellbeing as other agricultural animals. The tiny critters have brains the size of poppy seeds, yet recent research by ecologists such as Stephen Buchmann suggest they can learn, think, and even likely feel, much like mammals.

Buchmann's recent book, What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories and Personalities of Bees, collects the work of bee scholars as they work to unpack what goes on in their minuscule brains. What has until recently been a fringe scientific field, the insect minds of bees hold a critical place in the American economy. Buchmann's work also suggests they should hold a special place in our ethical scheme. For Buchmann and some other scientists, what they have learned about bees changes their research strategies to be more ethical, on par with the standards set for vertebrate mammals such as mice and monkeys.

Experiments, the outcomes of which are addressed in the book, illuminate the sentient secret life of bees. Lars Chittka, a University College of London professor in sensory and behavioral ecology, did an experiment 16 years ago where he hid a robotic predatory spider in flowers. The spider would grab an unwary bee that came too close and then release it after giving it a good scare. Chittka observed how the released bees learned...

Why Stick-On Drawer Organizer?

  • Quick and Easy - install right in your home with minimal tools in just minutes
  • Removeable without damaging drawers
  • Easy to reconfigure
  • Cheap - about $5 for this drawer as shown
  • Works with almost any drawer, including metal sides

stick on drawer organizers

What You'll Need

  • 3/8" or 1/2" Plastic C Channel (available from Amazon here) - match board thickness
  • 3/8" or 1/2" thick wood pieces, 2-1/2" width most popular but can do other widths for deeper or shallower dividers (available at Lowes nor Mendards) - match c-channel thickness
  • Mounting tape, 1/2" width, I used this one
  • Pruning Shears or Heavy Duty Scissors
  • Measuring Tape
  • Jigsaw or other saw for cutting wood to lengths

 

 

More About Choosing Wood

3/8" wood is what is shown in the photos and videos.  I have also done 1/2".  Both work just fine, really will depend on what wood is available to you.  

The depth shown in these photos and video is 1-1/2" (may be referred to as 2" when buying but it is actual dimension of 1-1/2").  I like this shallow depth because it is easy to reach in small spaces if the depth is short.  Avoid tall, narrow dividers that are hard to reach in.

For wood species, I used pine.  There are other options, even softer wood like balsa, or more expensive hardwoods.  All work just fine.  You could even use hardwood plywood that is ripped into strips.

 

 

How Much Material Do I Need?

For my one drawer shown, I used right at 1 foot of c-channel and about 2 linear feet of wood board.  My advice would be to purchase the pack of c-channel from Amazon, and then just cut and use it up as...

EOS Foundation Launches Upgrade As Crypto Market Rallies "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

In an exciting update, the EOS Foundation recently launched a major upgrade with innovative developments and solutions to its network ecosystem.

The upgrade coincided with a market recovery today that saw the price rally of Bitcoin and some altcoins alongside it. The theme of the upgrade had a positive ring to it, intending to deliver speed, scalability, and reliability to the EOS blockchain network.

EOS Network Launches Antelope Leap V4.0.0 Upgrade

The Antelope Leap v4.0.0 upgrade is an open-source software that enables anyone to operate a node on the EOS blockchain network seamlessly.

For clarity, a node is a computer system that runs a blockchain consensus model by validating incoming user transactions and storing the data in a distributed network ledger.

Node operators use these computer systems to validate network transactions while securing a blockchain network. They earn token rewards for their contributions to the validity and integrity of blockchain ecosystems.

That said, the EOS Antelope Leap v4.0.0 upgrade was launched to optimize node performance, making it easy for anyone to carry out node operations without hassle.

Solutions the upgrade brings forward to node operators include multi-threading features to boost node performance, reduced node latency, faster block propagation, and more visibility and control.

The Leap v4.0.0 upgrade is an important milestone and achievement for the EOS blockchain ecosystem.

Node operators have been advised to upgrade their nodes to the newest infrastructure.

Will Price Respond

The price of the EOS token has responded sluggishly despite the Leap v4.0.0 upgrade launch and recent market rally, which saw Bitcoin reclaim the $29,000 price region.

At the time of writing, the third-generation blockchain token is seen trading at $1.07, according to Coinmarketcap data. This is only a slight increase from its 24-hour low of $1.02.

While BTC gained over $1600 from its 24-hour price change, EOS is still yet to notably move compared to some altcoins, largely profiting from the BTC rally.

This Dad Cut His Daughter Off After Learning How She Is Making Extra Money "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Most parents like to think they have some kind of control over their children when theyre young. As they get older, many resort to things like guilty and coercion to try to keep young adults in line, but as weve seen over and over, that usually ends up having effects they did not forsee.

OP in this case has been helping his daughter with money and a few living expenses while shes in college.

I 47m have a 22 year old daughter. Shes in college and lives on campus. I agreed to help her make car payments, since she was in school.

Recently, a co-worker of his told him that he had seen his daughter stripping. When he confronted her she said she needs/wants the money. When he suggested she work fast food instead, she told him theres no other way to make such easy and good cash.

I was recently informed by a young man I work with that my daughter strips at a club about 40 minutes away. I confronted her on this and she said she didnt plan to do it after she graduated, and she needed some money. I told her then work at McDonalds, not use her body.

We got into an argument, and i asked her to quit stripping and get a decent job then. She refused and said stripping was easy money.

He told her since shes making such good money she can pay her own car payment, but both his daughter and wife think hes being unreasonable.

So basically I said there was no need for me to pay her car payment anymore since she is making money so easily. She got upset and said that wasnt fair, and that she doesnt make enough for that. I told her to figure it out.

She told my wife about what happened, and my wife is upset by her job of choice but says its unfair for me to stop supporting her so suddenly over an argument. I think its perfectly fair, its my money and my decision when to cut it off.

Reddit is going to have a field day with this one, I just know...

For the Flower Men of Saudi Arabia, A Handcrafted Tradition Heralds Beauty and Health "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

In the rapidly modernizing Asir Province of southwest Saudi Arabia, the Qhatan tribe preserves an enduring tradition. The men of the group, which is said to descend from Ishmael, son of Abraham, fashion vibrant flower crowns made from marigolds, jasmine, herbs, and other plants, wearing the handcrafted ornaments as symbols of pride and joy. Comprised of dried and fresh materials, the headpieces are donned for celebrations, to ward off sickness, and for their beauty, and the practice spans professions and age.

Omar Reda, a Lebanese photographer currently living and working in Saudi Arabia, traveled to the province in January 2021, where he met some members of the tribe. The country holds a treasure trove of hidden gems, he says, noting that hes interested in documenting the vast cultural diversity of the Arab nation. In his photographs of the flower men, Reda brings the viewer into direct confrontation with the subjects, documenting their crowns, facial expressions, and garments with close precision. The intimate portraits highlight how the uniqueness of each individual emerges through a shared practice, providing a common point of connection throughout the community.

Reda frequently travels to photograph communities and their cultural practices, and you can find more of his portraiture on Instagram. (via PetaPixel)

Bitcoin Bearish Signal: NVT Golden Cross Enters Overbought Zone "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has entered into the overbought region, something that could be bearish for the price.

Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross Has Been Going Up Recently

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the most recent touch of this zone led to a drop in the price of the cryptocurrency. The Network Value to Transactions (NVT) is an indicator that measures the ratio between the market cap of Bitcoin and its transaction volume (both in USD).

What this metric tells is whether the asset is overpriced or underpriced right now, based on how the value of the network (the market cap) compares with its ability to transact coins (the transaction volume).

High values of the indicator suggest the cryptocurrencys cap is inflated compared to its volume, and hence, the coins price may be overvalued currently. Similarly, low values can imply the asset may be undervalued at the moment.

Now, a metric derived from the NVT is the NVT Golden Cross, which compares the 30-day moving average (MA) of the NVT with its 10-day MA. By taking the ratio of the long-term and short-term trends like this, the indicator can help point out the tops and bottoms in the NVT.

Here is a chart that displays how the value of the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has changed over the past year:

Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross

As shown in the above graph, the quant has marked the historical regions where the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has signaled underbought and overbought conditions for the asset.

It looks like the values of the metric above 2.2 have been a sign that the cryptocurrency is undersold, while those below the -1.6 level have implied an oversold condition.

From the chart, its visible that the indicator touched the underpriced region last month, and the price reacted by observing some bullish momentum. Since then, the metric has seen an overall uptrend.

A week or so ago, when Bitcoin was floating around the $30,000 level, the NVT Golden Cross entered inside the overpriced region. Following this formation, the price faced some severe drawdown as it plunged to the low $27,000...

Who Was Robert Plunket? "IndyWatch Feed Literature"

I might not have read a single truly funny novel that year if my friend hadnt stopped by my Los Angeles porch one afternoon carrying an out-of-print copy of Robert Plunkets comic masterpiece, My Search for Warren Harding.

We were in the worst of daysthe depths of the pre-vaccine pandemicand our world was on fire, both literally and figuratively. The copy of the novel that my friend, the writer Victoria Patterson, handed over to me looked the way we all felt in those days: yellowing, battered, dusty from too long in storage. Tory bellowed through the muffling fabric of her N95 mask that it was one of her favorite novelsand really fucking funny.

I needed funny. I opened the book a few weeks laterand despite my allergic reaction to the mold in the edition, kept reading for the next 256 pages. When I was done, I sat in a kind of silent, focused delight. I held in my hands one of the best, and most invigorating books Id read in years, and certainly the funniestand yet, how was it out of print? Why had I never heard of this novel before now? (Later I learned Tory had actually written an excellent piece about it for Tin House magazine in 2015.) Why had it disappeared so fully from the literary landscape? And what did that say about this literary landscape if it could bury a book like this? Most intriguingly: Who was Robert Plunket?

The jacket bio for Plunkets second (and, so far, last) novel, Love Junkie, published in 1992 and also out of print, reads:

Robert Plunkets first novel, My Search for Warren Harding, immediately established him as one of Americas most promising novelists. Unfortunately, the promise soon faded, and he now lives in a trailer in Sarasota, Florida, where he ekes out an existence as a gossip columnist, covering everything from gala charity balls to KKK meetings. He has also served on the boards of Sarasota AIDS Support and the Humane Society of Sarasota County, and is currently running for election to the Mosquito Control Boa...

WHO Warns Of Biological Risk During Violent Seizure Of Lab In Suda "IndyWatch Feed Survival"

The World Health Organization has warned of a possible biological risk after Sudanese fighters took over the National Public Health Laboratory in the capital Khartoum. Violent clashes erupted between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group battling the army over who gets to control the masses, in the northern part of Khartoum state.

Many foreign nations made efforts for rapid evacuation of people from the country as violence marred a fragile United States-brokered ceasefire. Gunfire and the roar of fighter jets were heard in Khartoum on Tuesday, half a day after the announcement of a 72-hour truce raised hopes of opening up escape routes for civilians desperate to flee. Both sides claim the other violated the ceasefire.

A high-ranking medical source told CNN that the lab, which contains samples of diseases and other biological material, had been taken over by RSF forces. Nima Saeed Abid, the WHO representative in Sudan, described the development as extremely dangerous because we have polio isolates in the lab, we have measles isolates in the lab, we have cholera isolates in the lab.

There is a huge biological risk associated with the occupation of the central public health lab in Khartoum by one of the fighting parties, he added. The WHO said that medical technicians no longer had access to the facility.

Kelp Forests Absorb 5 Million Tons of Carbon Dioxide Every Year "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Kelp Forests Absorb 5 Million Tons of Carbon Dioxide Every Year

Kelp Forests Sink 5.5 Million Tons of Carbon Dioxide Annually

What's the value of seaweed? A new study published in Nature Communications suggest the value of the sea plant goes far beyond sushi. Researchers valued kelp forests, forests of large brown algae, at about $465 billion and $562 billion per year worldwide due to their positive impact on commercial fisheries and the environment. This flora also absorbs 4.5 million tonnes (4.96 tons) of carbon dioxide annually, rather like forests on land.

Aaron Eger at the University of New South Wales in Australia set out with his fellow researchers to quantify the benefits of seaweed. The team focused on six kinds of kelp which grow in dense thickets known as forests. About 1,500 species of fish and marine life live in these forests. This sea life supports commercial fisheries and food supplies. They added this value to the other benefits of kelp. Kelp absorbs carbon dioxide (largely responsible for our warming planet) as well as nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural run off. This helps preserve the quality of our waters.

Testing seaweed gave researchers insight into how much the plants absorb. Much like a plant on land, [kelp forests] are taking up nutrients, theyre taking up carbon dioxide, and using light to fuel their growth, Eger said. In total, these kelp forests provide two main benefits. They support $465 to $562 billion per year of the global economy. They also sink almost five million tons of carbon dioxide. Although the current paper does not focus on it, seaweed is also a promising climate-resistant food source with the power to uplift female cultivators. This wonder plant is part of a clim...

Cardano ADA Trades Below The $0.41 Mark, Will It Break The Barriers? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Cardano (ADA) coin has captured the interest of investors and holders with its recent price drop below the $0.40 mark on April 25. This notable price dip left everyone wondering if Cardano (ADA) will break this barrier, which has proven significant in recent trading sessions.

However, today April 26, the general market is recovering as the global market cap gained over a 4.5% increase in 24 hours. The marker-wide rally has pushed ADA back to the $0.40 mark with a massive gain of 6.93% in 24 hours.

Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Plunges Over 13% Will It Bounce Back?

The ADA price has been trending downward for the past 7 days, and the coin is finally gaining momentum. Only time will tell if Cardano ADA can surpass the $0.41 resistance level and trade above it in the coming days. 

ADA Price Trend

The recent price fluctuation in the crypto market harmed Cardano (ADA)s price, causing a significant loss in its market capitalization.

The Cardano market cap is currently at $13.9 billion with a $267 million 24-hour trading volume. According to CoinMarketCap data, Cardano (ADA) is now the seventh biggest cryptocurrency.

Cardanos price drop yesterday, April 25, may have been caused by several variables, such as market sentiment generally and shifts in investor perceptions.

Also, the fluctuations in trading volume, regulatory announcements, or market news that impacted the cryptocurrency market may have played a huge role too. The chart below shows the potential support and resistance levels for Cardano (ADA) in 2023.

While buyers are trying to build a bullish momentum, ADA is still found at the $0.40 zone and might break the support zone of $0.38 if the sellers increase the selling pressure.

The $0.38 level of support has maintained steady during the retest earlier this week and can act as a driving force for a higher valuation. Cardanos price may surpass its resistance level of $0.42 if the bulls completely control the market.

On the other hand, if bears take control of the trend, ADAs price could fall below $0.30 and might hit $0.2777

Cardano (ADA) Price Prediction

The Simple Moving Average (SMA) indicates a potential trend reversal as the 50-day SMA changes directions. The 50-day SMA is trying to cross below the 200, forming a death cross. This action may generate a bearish signal and indicate a potential selling opportunity.
