2009 marked the beginning of an unprecedented bull market for both Bitcoin and the U.S. stock market, which has continued almost unabated since. However, there are constant rumblings of a crash, and the noise has lately increased. Not only due to stocks, a new COVID version and increased interest rates are driving firms to pay more to borrow money. This has prompted a decline in global markets. Cryptocurrency markets have been affected by this, along with worries of increased regulation. How likely is it for the stock market to crash? Taking cryptocurrency out of the equation, the mounting conjecture that a collapse is inevitable is based on sound reasoning. In the United States, the inflation rate was much higher than projected in June. There is currently a debate on lifting the debt limit due to the government’s ongoing issuance of bonds and accumulation of debt. Of course, the continuing pandemic relief effort justifies this. Government stimulus programs are being implemented, although other indicators, like the price of U.S. stocks, show that the money being spent is not necessary. The real estate market in the United States is also booming, and the Federal Reserve has previously voiced worry that investors are growing more irresponsible, citing the interest in-joke stocks and cryptocurrencies as examples. Speculation that a collapse is imminent due to all this money flowing into the economy is well-founded. Crypto value shall rise – a myth or reality? The debate over cryptocurrency value rise is expected to continue for some time to come. Stablecoin regulation has been of particular interest to U.S. authorities. Stocks continue to rise even though COVID-19 refuses to go away, supported by an unprecedented level of government backing. Now that quantitative easing programs have been discontinued, there is a slight fear of a stock market meltdown. Is it possible that crypto might suffer if the stock market collapses? If this is the case, bad news for Bitcoin (BTC) could be in store: There are indications that Bitcoin and stock prices have a significant association. Which cryptos to consider for a volatile-proof future? Looking for the most significant cryptocurrency investment in 2022 but unable to discern the excellent from the poor and ugly? This article examines eight top-rated volatile-proof crypto projects to keep a watch out for. The Best Cryptocurrencies to Invest in are – 1. Lucky Block Lucky Block is a new and intriguing cryptocurrency enterprise introducing blockchain technology to the multi-billion dollar lottery industry. It makes Lucky Block lotteries accessible to players all around the globe securely and transparently. 2. Dogecoin One of the most affordable cryptocurrencies in 2022 is Dogecoin, which now trades for less than $0.20 per unit. 3. The Graph “Indexing” is the specialty of the Graph project, which promotes the use of bitcoin and blockchain technologies. 4. Ethereum ETH is a well-known cryptocurrency that has established itself as the world’s de-facto platform for smart contracts. With a market value of $2 billion, the project has risen to a record high of nearly $4,000 per token. Conclusion Rather than complaining about the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies, we should prepare for it. Cryptocurrencies tend to dip from time to time, but it’s normal.

We've been playing Gran Turismo 7. It's amazing but, without VR, it's missing something. Here's 6 ways PSVR 2 support could improve the racing sim.

Making an open-world game where you fly around using an Iron Man glove seems like something that would be challenging for an indie team. Lienzo, the developer behind Mulaka and Aztech Forgotten Gods, still tried though. Soaring through the city is great fun at first, and many of Aztech Forgotten Gods‘ ideas are promising. Even the story is quite good despite the game looking like it came out well over a decade ago. But the whole thing feels unfinished, like the bare minimum was awarded for such an intriguing idea. Aztech Forgotten Gods concerns a delivery woman named Achtli. She lives in an alternate, hi-tech version of the historic Aztec city, Tenochtitlan. In this world, the Aztec culture continued to flourish. It’s a remarkably fresh idea that’s well suited to the medium. Achtli’s mother, Nantsin, is an archaeologist who was excavating nearby ruins until her boss calls the dig off. Not willing to let go of the potential discoveries, she has Achtli come wit...

You know, it’s not easy being a teenager. That’s what the protagonist, your character, in the VR-only game Tentacular has recently figured out. Not only do people expect more from you, but now you have to deal with these unwanted responsibilities. Indeed, you learn that life is harsh in the world of Tentacular. It is your birthday, though, and your sister made you a cake. However, every citizen on the small island of La Kalma is required to enter a vocation at the age of 16. That’s rough. Also, the folks on the island are mad at you. And it’s likely because you’re a gigantic, eldritch monster with tentacles instead of arms. Oh, and you’re adopted. Tough break, kid. That’s how you start your young life in Tentacular, a game by developer Firepunchd Games and publisher Devolver Digital. As a game made for Steam VR, you use the controllers to move two bulky tentacles to grab and place various objects. It’s a rather rudimentary physics-base...

DF Direct Weekly tallies up its 51st show, but it's actually our 52nd week - we took a break for Christmas - meaning that this week is our one-year anniversary! And it's a particularly meaty episode this week as the team convene to wrap up discussions on Elden Ring and Steam Deck, specifically by tackling virtually every question we received on both topics from backers of the DF Supporter Program.

Looking at the table of contents below, you should get some idea of how those particular discussions play out, but we also spend a good deal of time looking at the massive Nvidia leak and its implications for Switch Pro (aka Switch 2, Switch Model S ad infinitum). We call it a leak, but actually Nvidia was subject to a massive cyber-attack and the full extent of the stolen data remains to be seen. In the meantime, we should expect to see various information spill out: we already have some idea of the kind of GPU configurations we should expect from Team Green's next-gen GPUs, while the Switch successor information is intriguing.

I’d been looking forward to Babylon’s Fall for some time. I’m a big fan of PlatinumGames and I was eager to play its upcoming work, as I missed out on Astral Chain due to its Switch exclusivity. But as I read the discourse online surrounding Babylon’s Fall, it became clear that it would be fighting a nearly impossible uphill battle. People aware of the game were angry about its very existence. After inciting controversy with Marvel’s Avengers, Square Enix has failed to heed extreme consumer negativity regarding full-priced games with live service elements. Honestly, I like Babylon’s Fall and have enjoyed playing it. It’s a pretty good action title, but it definitely leaves a lot to be desired on the live service front and, undeniably, it needed to be cheaper or even free. The consequences of releasing a full-priced game with premium battle passes and a cash shop have already all but sunk the game. It currently sits at a rather dismal 41 on M...
