A picture tells you when the copycat season will break out! What trading opportunities do retail investors have? What is a copycat season, my understanding is simple 1. First break through the price high in March last year. 2. Break through the 21-year record high. 3. ETH breaks through 4800 4. SOL breaks through 300 Otherwise, there would be no real copycat season. Capital inflows into BTC ➩ BTC dominance increased ➩ altcoins were drawn blood ➩ altcoins fell Capital outflows from BTC ➩ BTC dominance declines ➩ altcoins absorb reserves ➩ skyrocket 🤖 This may be an opportunity, how to choose the target? -As long as the project is still in operation, the codebase and social media updates are not interrupted, TG, discord and administrators, and there is a high probability that some institutions have already intervened to achieve control. -Profit and loss are suitable, when the time comes, 7 days or even a day can pull out three or five times for you, and within a month, you can accumulate the momentum of three or four years of shock, and erupt into place for you at one time. The outbreak of the altcoin season can complete the 2-year bull market process of Bitcoin in 7 days. 🤖 From an emotional point of view, it is still a bear market mood. Now the only wish in the hearts of each group of friends is to be able to recover their money. Although the price of Bitcoin continues to hit new highs, the assets in the wallets of the group members are shrinking. When you are really at the end of a bull market, you have already lost your mind. Not only did they put all their savings into the market, but they even went around looking for relatives and friends to borrow money, borrow studs, and pour in desperately. People who buy Bitcoin will envy those who buy altcoins, and in that frenzied atmosphere, as soon as they sell their coins, they will immediately go short and never have the opportunity to buy them back at the selling price. The dealer will use all kinds of news and various means to create this atmosphere, and obviously it is not in the state of the end of the cow at present. 🤖 How to judge the copycat season, 4 indicators you must know 1️⃣ Altifier index Tracking whether market sentiment points to Bitcoin or altcoins, if 75% of the top 50 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the last 90 days, it's altcoin season, otherwise it's bit season. 🔗 2️⃣BTC dominance rate (market capitalization ratio) Capital inflows into BTC ➩ BTC dominance increased ➩ altcoins were drawn blood ➩ altcoins fell Capital outflows from BTC ➩ BTC dominance declines ➩ altcoins absorb reserves ➩ skyrocket 🔗 3️⃣TOTAL 2 TOTAL2 represents the total market capitalization of the top 125 altcoins excluding BTC, which can be seen as a case of capital inflows into altcoins. 🔗 4️⃣ETH/BTC exchange rate From the perspective of the market cycle, the flow of funds is generally as follows: BTC - ETH/SOL - mainstream altits - sub-mainstream altcoins - memes BTC is faith, Ethereum is the leader, and the strength of Ethereum is the premise of altcoin rampage The bull market is most afraid of: greed, fear, blindness, conformity, following the crowd, chasing the rise and fall, because it is a place where a few people make money. This round of copycat season only belongs to some high-quality representatives, and it will not break out as fully as in 21 years, and it is recommended that you choose the top 50 by market capitalization. If you are afraid of missing out on the copycat season, then the only thing you can do is to find a cost-effective entry point and set a stop loss. So what other trading opportunities 👇👇 do we have? #BTCUSD #ETH

Kusama is an open-source and experimental version of the Polkadot blockchain, built using the Substrate network. It offers a relatively lenient governance system, thus allowing developers to build and upgrade new blockchain projects quickly. KSM is the name and ticker of the project's native token.

Kusama utilizes a multi-chain network with a relay chain, parachains, and bridges. While Polkadot focuses on maintaining high levels of security, Kusama is designed to absorb the risks of early experimentation by acting as a testnet. It is also cheaper to deploy projects on Kusama than on Polkadot, making it attractive for early-stage projects. The minimum requirement for staking as a validator is also lower, increasing its accessibility to users. However, Kusama supports a limited number of parachains, currently 100, booked through slots and allocated through an open auction for high-value bidders.

The three main ecosystem governance participants are the KSM token holders, the council, and the technical committee based on the Nominated Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus. The on-chain governance model uses simple, stake-based voting schemes to make any required changes to the network. As a result, Kusama is four times faster than Polkadot, with the voting and enactment process executed within 15 days.

KSM price and tokenomics

KSM has a total supply of 10 million and is subject to an annual inflation rate of 10%. Therefore, the token allocation of newly minted tokens depends on the proportion of KSM staked by network participants. If upheld, the ideal staking ratio is set at 50%, giving KSM validators new tokens. The excess goes to the treasury if this ratio has a positive deviation. However, validators will receive fewer tokens with a negative deviation, affecting the KSM price.

The quicker governance structure and rapidly expanding Polkadot ecosystem drive demand for KSM tokens. Polkadot price fluctuations also affect KSM's price. KSM was initially released through an airdrop and distributed to accounts that participated in the sale of DOT, Polkadot's token, at a ratio of 1:1. It also had a sale option for those who did not hold any DOT tokens at the time.

About the founders

Backed by strong players in the crypto ecosystem, Kasuma shares the same founders as Polkadot - Gavin Wood, Peter Czaban, and Robert Habermeier. Wood, the co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum, invented several fundamental elements of blockchain development, including Solidity, Whisper, and Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus. He also currently serves as the president and founder of the Web3 Foundation.

Czaban, an Oxford alumnus, is the chief technology officer at the Web3 Foundation, while Habermeier, a fellow at Thiel, is a longtime member of the Rust community. KSM also has a team of over 100 blockchain engineers and strategic advisors helping shape the project's future. Kusama is funded by the Web3 Foundation and private investors such as Master Ventures, who funded the entire Polkadot ecosystem.
