The approach we are looking to take would be more of Lens Protocol supported wherever builders are building. So if you onboard to an app that is on another Validium or let say Base, most likely you will be posting content there. However, cross-chain is very possible the same way it's done with embeds today.

Speculative crypto demand is widening beyond Bitcoin’s revival. Gauges tracking the bottom half and 30 mid-tier tokens in MarketVector’s index of the largest 100 digital assets are up 16% and 14% respectively so far in November — exceeding the wider measure’s 4% gain and a 1% rise in Bitcoin.

**It’s been 40 days since the U.S. court issued a partial verdict in the SEC’s case against Ripple. In that timeframe, the digital currency XRP’s value has slumped by a significant 39.43%.** https://news.bitcoin.com/xrp-value-plunges-39-post-sec-verdict-xrp-army-remains-optimistic-amid-market-turbulence/
As such, XRP traded at levels higher than the broader market for at least a few hours, price chat data shows. Some market observers opined a seller placed a spoof order at $50 per XRP, which was unintendedly filled by a buyer who may have “fat-fingered” the trade. Market depth data shows XRP liquidity on Gemini remains relatively low, with only a $37,000 order required to move prices by 2% on the exchange. In contrast, the same price move on Binance would require at least $2.2 million. https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/08/11/xrps-market-cap-momentarily-zoomed-to-trillions-of-dollars-on-gemini/

Bring Your Whole Self to the Party with Disco.xyz gm lens fam 🪩 Disco is your identity for the Metaverse. At Disco, we believe you are the multifaceted center of the party, and so you should be able to own, control, and reflect data about yourself to the world however you choose. Think of us as your data backpack 🎒, where you can stash your private data in a way that’s owned and controlled by you. Creating your data backpack is similar to building an online profile, with components you can take with you across sites. Our identities are complex and ever-evolving, and so too should the way we reflect the parts about ourselves in our daily interactions–online and IRL, onchain and offchain. That commitment to expression, fun, and social interaction is what brings us to Lens! We are here to make sure that you never fill out a form again, that you never go to a concert of your favorite artist without receiving the VIP treatment that you've earned at home, that you never show up to a conference and have to wait in line. You should be able to control the parts of yourself– or the things you do online– by choosing what you share publicly or what you keep in your backpack for your eyes only. We’re excited to be here and can’t wait for the Lens community to join us on the dancefloor!

As fears mount that the United States government may default on its debt obligations, Geoff Kendrick, a forex research head at Standard Chartered, said such an event would cause the price of bitcoin (BTC) to surge by more than $20,000. While Kendrick characterizes the default as a “low-probability, high-impact event,” he nonetheless suggested that the top cryptocurrency’s reputation for performing well when markets are down as well as its safe haven status means the nearly 70% surge in its price is possible. https://news.bitcoin.com/standard-chartered-analyst-btc-to-surge-by-20000-if-the-us-defaults-on-debt-obligations/
