Dogecoin Poised For Pullback After Failing To Hold Key Resistance
Following a futile fight to break the $0.07 resistance, Dogecoin (DOGE) appears poised for a big drop. This was a warning in an October 31 X post by prominent crypto analyst Rekt Capital to his nearly 400,000 followers.

AI, Zero-knowledge Proofs, and Bitcoin Ordinals
We believe zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) will continue to mature, both with new theoretical advancements in recursive proving and the gradual specialization of companies within the vertical to specific roles, such as co-processing, prove executions, zkDevOps, privacy layers, and so on. With this we are beginning to use ZKPs as a way of establishing a common interface between different layers of a modular tech stack. Original
