Well, it looked as if the table has turned in the past week. Altcoin is now experiencing an all-time low. This appears to be the onset of a un-season in Altcoin.
It is crystal clear that Altcoin had a brilliant start to the year with an impressive market share. The past few weeks have shown that BTC has experienced a significant increase. Within this period, there were no significant changes in the market cap. This resulted in Altcoin losing its value against BTC and their market share.
It is equally surprising that Binance Coin (BNB), known to be the king of the recent Altcoin season, is also beginning to experience a decline.
Could This Signal the End of the Altcoin Season?
Since there is no doubting the fact that BTC had a great month with massive dominance and gains while Altcoin experienced a great drop, could this be the start of the end of altcoin season?
Well, let’s have a good look at a few exceptions. While the Bitcoin cash has its market share increased by a percent, in the same period, some Altcoin prices have grown against BTC.
This can only mean one thing. The fact that BTC is experiencing a great dominance over Altcoin does not mean that Altcoin can’t undergo a significant increase in their market share.
Come to think of it, when you go down the memory lane, Altcoin does not have the best chance. This is because high volatility in BTC price does not provide the most favorable condition for Altcoin’s survival.

Having discovered all secrets behind the most astonishing magic tricks, she says with certainty that all jaw-dropping performances on the stage are merely optical illusion and not the power of mind or things like that. In an interview, she has told Shahrvand about her career.
– Are you the first, or the only lady magician in Iran?
I am the only lady conjurer who goes on the stage independently. I have men assistants.
– Why did you decide to become a magician, after all?
Since childhood, I had always been interested to do something that would surprise everyone. At that time, I was infatuated with a TV program that showed a conjurer performing magic tricks. Afterwards, I got a couple of props and put on some performances at school. Anyway, I began to move on that path.
– How old were you when you staged your first serious performance?
Seventeen.
– Do you have a conjuring certificate?
Yes. I am a member of the International Magicians Society.
– Didn’t your family have any problems with your job? For example, didn’t they oppose you getting into the conjuring profession because of the beliefs that exist in this career and the fact that all of your colleagues are men?
First, they strongly disagreed. But they gradually got along with it when they saw my performances and I explained to them my interests and goals.
– In your opinion, what positive objective can be pursued in the conjuring career? As you know, it seems more like entertainment and even some believe it has a deceptive nature and, in fact, it is a practice which deceives the audience, which could have a negative impact.
One of my objectives is to fight superstition in the conjuring profession.
– How?
I was brought up in a small town in Khorasan province. Unfortunately, locals believed very much in fortune-telling and geomancy. I remember even when kids had a cold, they wouldn’t take him to a doctor. The first thing they would do was to take him or her to a geomancer. When I got familiar with conjuring, I saw everything the geomancers do can be done by magicians in the form of tricks. But, unfortunately, some conjurers themselves promote superstition in society by claiming to have magic powers and claiming they can read minds. But I always explain to everyone that I don’t have any special energy or power and that there is a trick behind every magic I do.
– Tell us about the secrets of conjuring. For instance, what tricks are there that are simply tricks and not a supernatural phenomenon?
One of the performances which are all the rage today and stun everyone is the mind-reading trick. For example, once a magician on TV said he was able to predict the result of a football match. However, there was a small wardrobe under the board on which he would write the predictions. There was someone inside that wardrobe that would write the predictions on a piece of paper and swiftly gave them to the magician. After that performance, I received messages on Instagram and other social media networks every day in which people asked me about that performance and the power to predict and they wanted me to help solve their problems. But it was all a trick. However, superstition is promoted in society when magicians claim to have supernatural powers.
– As a woman, do you have any suggestion for ladies who are interested in conjuring?
I do not encourage them to become magicians unless they really love this job.
Why?
It is difficult to work along with more than two thousand men conjurers none of whom you know, and every one of whom tries to get you involved in some controversial issue every day. They say behind my back, “How dare a woman do conjuring as long as men are around?” On the other hand, sanctions have, unfortunately, led to a hundred-percent rise in the prices of our props, and now conjuring props are so expensive. Also, our colleagues in the conjuring profession began to compete with one another by lowering their fees for staging performances, making it difficult to continue working in this career.
– What’s people’s reaction when they see you as a lady magician?
Well, we didn’t have a woman conjurer in Iran before. The only reason I’m in love with this profession is people’s complimentary looks. On many occasions, before I go on the state, the MC announces that the audience is going to see a performance by a magician, but they do not expect to see a woman on the stage. But it is interesting for them when they see I am going to stage performances for them. That motivates me to continue my career in the future with interest.
Iranian conservative journalist Abdollah Ganji says Tehran should enter into talks with Europe over sharing the expenditures for refugees in Iran as well as meeting the costs for fighting narcotics.
“Our bahaviour has emboldened the Europeans; they should share the expenses Iran is paying for migrants,” he noted.
“If they do not agree [to share the costs], Iran should open the path for migration,” the journalist noted.
“The Europeans pay $6 billion to Turkey annually to stem the flow of Syrian refugees to Europe. The exodus of migrants is a nightmare for Europe,” he said.
Earlier, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Abbas Araqchi called on Western countries to discharge their responsibilities with regards to Afghan refugees.
“The issue of migrants and refugees is an international issue, and managing their affairs and meeting their costs are an international responsibility as well,” he said.
He noted Iranian people, based on their humanitarian and Islamic beliefs, have generously hosted Afghans and other refugees over the past 40 days, and will continue to do so.
“However, it should be noted that other countries and international organizations, especially Western countries which have caused many of the predicaments that Afghan people are suffering, should fulfil their duties and responsibilities, too,” he said.
“The European states should pay their share of hosting migrants by either meeting the costs or hosting some of them in their countries,” said the senior diplomat.
“This is a serious demand by the Islamic Republic of Iran,” said Araqchi.
He said Iran has been following up the issue through the UN, European officials and the Afghan government for years, and will continue to pursue the matter seriously.
Meanwhile, spokesperson for Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry Sibghatullah Ahmadi hailed Iran for hosting Afghan refugees.
“Iran has always treated migrants responsibly,” he said in response to earlier remarks by Araqchi who had said Iran would consider asking Afghan refugees to leave Iran if the US keeps exerting economic pressure on the country and Europe fails to help.
Ahmadi said Afghanistan expects its expatriates to be treated as refugees in accordance with international conventions, and that any possible repatriation of Afghan migrants take place gradually and respectfully.
The spokesman said Iran has always been a very good and reliable friend and partner for Kabul.
He thanked Iran for hosting Afghan migrants and added Iranians have always proven their hospitality.
According to the data collected by Etemad daily newspaper using the 2016 census and other sources, 1,583,979 Afghan migrants live in Iran, accounting for two percent of Iran’s population. Almost 11,000 are studying in Iranian universities and 360,000 go to Iranian schools.
The majority of these migrants (516,000) live in Tehran province. 220,000 live in Khorasan Razavi (which shares border with Afghanistan), 183,000 in Isfahan, 125,000 in Kerman, and 109,000 in Fars province.
Iran, which has a 900-kilometer common border with Afghanistan, has been used as the main conduit for smuggling Afghan drugs to narcotics kingpins in Europe.
Despite high economic and human costs, the Islamic Republic has been actively fighting drug-trafficking over the past three decades.
The country has spent more than $700 million on sealing its borders and preventing the transit of narcotics destined for European, Arab and Central Asian countries.
The war on drug trade originating from Afghanistan has claimed the lives of nearly 4,000 Iranian police officers over the past four decades.
Safoura Ghallezari is a retired teacher from Bandar Anzali in Gilan province. She started her charitable activities by collecting plastic bottle caps and selling them to buy wheelchairs for people with disabilities.
Later on, by collecting waste papers, she decided to create a system to help improve the people’s culture in Anzali.
She retired five years ago after teaching 28 years at private schools and two years at Teacher Training Centre. This year, she is also teaching families at schools how to sort waste materials.
Ghallezari, who has been a social sciences teacher, told Pupils Association News Agency (PANA) that one of her most important interests is the issue of the environment and having a waste-free city.
“At first, I started to collect plastic bottle caps, which had been carried out for the first time by someone in the northwestern city of Tabriz. I used to collect bottle caps in Bandar Anzali for around 2 years with the help of students and colleagues, and spent the money to help patients,” she added.
“With the money, we managed to buy four wheelchairs for patients and people with disabilities.”
She believes she is just a teacher who cares about waste and paper sorting.
“At the time of examinations, I decided to declare to the schools that the students do not throw out their textbooks and books after the exams in a bid to pursue a serious goal with the money made by selling them,” added Ghallezari.
“It was the first time someone was doing it; the goal was to run small libraries. One of school administrators provided me with a warehouse to store waste papers there and teach the families, students and people that paper is not a waste,” she maintained.
“In two years, we collected about 13 tonnes of paper from students, pupils and people who had papers in their cabinets, and ran six libraries in public places with the money earned from selling the papers,” she underlined.
The retired teacher says she has donated 100 books to the prisoners of Anzali. “Along with launching these libraries, I helped the needy by selling waste papers as well.”
Ghallezari has also asked the Education Ministry to issue an order, based on which schools would be obliged to ask their students not to throw away papers and give them back to school at the end of the school year. She believes the Education Ministry can give her a hand in her campaign.
During the Thursday meeting, the two sides discussed the latest developments pertaining to the Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). They also conferred on bilateral relations as well as regional issues.
Araqchi urged the P4+1 Group to deliver on their commitments under the JCPOA as stipulated in four statements issued by the JCPOA Joint Commission following the United States’ illegal withdrawal from the deal.
He called on Europe to take practical steps to secure Iran’s interests in the domain of oil and banking in the coming 60 days.
He said Europe should not underestimate Tehran’s will to diminish its obligations under the JCPOA step by step.
“Iran has shown enough restraint, but Europe has not seized the opportunities created,” he said.
The British official, who is also Britain’s JCPOA negotiator, said his country remains committed to the nuclear deal and will try to implement the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX).
Moore also vowed that London will continue its efforts to meet Iran’s demands.
Iran recently stopped performing part of its commitments under the JCPOA in response to Washington’s illegal pullout from the agreement.
Iran gave Europe 60 days to adopt practical measures to ensure Iran’s benefits under the deal. Iran says it will take further action if Europe fails to secure Iran’s interests under the JCPOA.

In reaction to US President Donald Trump’s latest call for talks with Iran, General Javani said on Friday the Islamic Republic will not hold any talks with the US, and Washington doesn’t dare to wage any war on Iran.
“Trump thought that through sanctions and economic pressure, he could create an internal chaos in Iran and force the country to sit for talks. But the dream never came true and now the Americans have come to this conclusion that they should adopt other measures in line with the sanctions to exert further pressure on the Islamic Republic,” he said.
He also said the US’ blacklisting of the IRGC as a terrorist organization, deploying an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf and adopting an aggressive rhetoric against Iran are part of a mechanism that the American officials have devised in line with their sanctions to make them more practical.
“This is what Trump just recently said that he wants Iranians to call him and sit for talks,” he said.
Back on Thursday, Trump offered Iran direct talks with Iran, saying the Iranian leaders should “call me”.
The Iranian military commander said the American officials are suffering from some mess in their thoughts. That’s why they are desperately using whatever in their power to break the 40-year resistance of Iranians. “Any negotiation serves as the beginning of the collapse of our resistance.”
The general also said the Iranian nation are completely familiar with the US plots and don’t trust in the country.
“Our experience, gained over the past four decades, shows that the Iranian nation has no way out but to resist the US pressure,” he said.
The commander also referred to the latest statement by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on the Iran nuclear deal and said the statement reveals that Iranians have chosen to resist the US pressure.
Iran on Wednesday informed the remaining parties to the 2015 nuclear deal of its decision to suspend the implementation of some of its commitments under the deal. The statement came one year after the US move to quit the deal.

Hesamoddin Ashena, an advisor to the Iranian president, warned the West – particularly the European countries – of the repercussions of the sanctions imposed unilaterally by the US on the Islamic Republic, saying the bans will hamper Iran’s contribution to fight against terrorists, drug smugglers and illegal migrants heading to Europe.
In a thread of tweets, Ashena said if the US continues to impose economic pressure on Iran, the Islamic Republic won’t be able anymore to play an active role in fight against terrorists.
“If the sanctions keep going on, Iran won’t be able to play an active role in fight against terrorists and prevent them from returning to their homelands in Europe,” he said in a tweet.
Ashena went on to say that amid the sanctions, Iran won’t either be able to play a role in preventing smugglers from transferring drug cargoes from the east to the west.
He then referred to the flow of migrants from the Middle East to the West and said Iran can’t contribute any further to efforts to manage and prevent the flow from the East to the West if the sanctions remain in place.
Earlier, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Seyyed Abbas Araghchi declared that Iran would consider asking Afghan refugees to leave the country if the US keeps imposing economic pressure on the country.
“For the last 40 years, we have hosted immigrants from Afghanistan… Right now, over 3 million Afghans live in Iran, and according to some estimates they are holding over 2 million jobs, and 3 or 4 billion euros are taken out of the country by these people,” he said in a televised interview on Wednesday.
Araqchi underlined that when the US sanctions have an impact, the Islamic Republic is forced to implement special policies for the economy. “And it’s possible we will reach a point where we cannot continue paying these costs, and in that case, we may ask our Afghan brothers and sisters to leave Iran.”
Meanwhile, in a letter to the remaining parties to the JCPOA on Wednesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Iran is not asking for them to take action for the interest of Iran “but for the interest and future and your own country, you have a responsibility to act.”
Rouhani said Iran’s hosting of refugees has prevented a “wave” of them from flocking to Europe. He said Iran has paid a heavy price in fight against drugs and has lost thousands of soldiers fighting drug smuggling on the border, but may now reconsider its policies if Europe fails to help.
The threat was made by Jabar al-Ma’mouri, a Hashd al-Shaabi commander in the Iraqi province of Diyala, in response to the US’ recent deployment of its aircraft carrier strike group and B-52 bombers to the Middle East to send an “unmistakable” message to Iran.
US National Security Advisor John Bolton earlier warned of “unrelenting force” if Iran tries to harm any US interests or allies in the region.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo landed in Baghdad on Tuesday and met with Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi where he reportedly held talks with the premier on the safety of the US forces in the country and also briefing him with Washington’s main goal in its deployment of armaments to the Middle East.
“The message that we’ve sent to the Iranians, I hope, puts us in a position where we can deter and the Iranians will think twice about attacking American interests,” Pompeo said, noting that the US intelligence was “very specific” about “attacks that were imminent.”
However, the Hashd al-Shaabi commander said that the Shiite forces will respond if the US forces attack Iran, warning that “the Middle East is approaching a dangerous tsunami that is monitored by the Zionist regime.”
