$BTC | 1H: Today Plan:
Shorting #Bitcoin from $28,000 with 0.5Risk. I am expecting to see some spot selling to liquidate late longs, as the 28k sell wall has been filled. I am hoping this will lead to a short-term drop in the price of Bitcoin. Good luck to all traders!Previous… pic.twitter.com/oCqmpeMjvi

Bitcoin Price Declines as the 35 Million Milestone Approaches: A Closer Look
After reaching a peak of 440,760 inscriptions in a single day on September 15, the amount of Ordinal inscriptions on the Bitcoin network has significantly decreased. As of now, there are 34,961,312 inscriptions on the distributed ledger, but the rate of inscription creation has slowed considerably since September 24.
Inscriptions on the blockchain varied in number throughout September 2023, with a low count of just over 100,000 on August 31 and September 1. However, from September 2 through 24, daily inscriptions remained consistently above 175,000.
On September 30, 28,400 inscriptions were recorded, while the day before saw 44,746 added. Despite recent drops in inscription activity, this decrease has allowed miners to address the backlog of unconfirmed transactions in the mempool.
It is unclear why there has been a decrease in new registrations, causing uncertainty about how long this trend will continue and whether there will be a return to higher levels of registrations. Despite these unknowns, the Bitcoin blockchain is still on track to reach 35 million registrations, which is a noteworthy accomplishment.
