Bitcoin price weakens, but BTC derivatives remain healthy

December 3, 2024 Coin Telegraph

BTC

Bitcoin derivatives reflect traders' confidence in the market and suggest the current price action is just a consolidation phase.

Bitcoin (BTC) has struggled to rally above $98,000 from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, frustrating investors despite achieving a 38% monthly gain. Market participants worry that prolonged consolidation below the $100,000 psychological barrier could embolden bearish strategies to suppress BTC's price.

Derivatives markets suggest resilience, with traders paying a 17% annualized premium for leveraged positions compared to the BTC spot price. While lower than the 40% levels typically observed during strong bull runs, the current premium reflects healthy bullish demand and does not indicate excessive optimism.

Free online service model might be coming to an end—Mental Outlaw

September 15, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Big Tech

According to Visual Capitalist, Amazon Web Services, Google, and Microsoft collectively control roughly 74% of the public cloud market.

Google is deleting old user accounts that have been inactive for at least two years, and tech YouTuber "Mental Outlaw" believes the move signifies that the company is running out of storage—which might indicate the decline of free online service models.

Mental Outlaw explained that many early users of Gmail used the service as a form of cloud storage—saving gigabytes of photos and files on the platform. The tech-focused YouTube influencer said that Google's initiative to reclaim underused space and abandoned accounts indicates that the free storage services are becoming too costly for Google to maintain.
