Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to. In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions. Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true. Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn\u2019t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment.. Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form. Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new. As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money. Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn\u2019t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs. Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/keshavverma29\/\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/keshavvarma29\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/hououinkyouma29\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Crypto Shorts See Carnage As Bitcoin Surges Towards $28,000","description":"Data shows the crypto futures market has observed large liquidations in the past day as Bitcoin has shown a sharp surge towards $28,000.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Crypto Shorts See Carnage As Bitcoin Surges Towards $28,000","og_description":"Data shows the crypto futures market has observed large liquidations in the past day as Bitcoin has shown a sharp surge towards $28,000.","og_url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/","og_site_name":"NewsBTC","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newsbtc","article_published_time":"2023-10-16T14:00:16+00:00","article_modified_time":"2024-06-11T08:14:18+00:00","author":"Keshav Verma","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246","twitter_creator":"@https:\/\/twitter.com\/keshavvarma29","twitter_site":"@newsbtc","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Keshav Verma","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/"},"author":{"name":"Keshav Verma","@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/#\/schema\/person\/bdb6d57b7ea5cc00981204795656d1a6"},"headline":"Crypto Shorts See Carnage As Bitcoin Surges Towards $28,000","datePublished":"2023-10-16T14:00:16+00:00","dateModified":"2024-06-11T08:14:18+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/"},"wordCount":549,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246","keywords":["bitcoin","bitcoin futures","Bitcoin Liquidation","btc","btcusd","crypto","Crypto Futures","Crypto Shorts","cryptocurrency"],"articleSection":["Cryptocurrency Market News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","copyrightYear":"2023","copyrightHolder":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/#organization"}},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/","name":"Crypto Shorts See Carnage As Bitcoin Surges Towards $28,000","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246","datePublished":"2023-10-16T14:00:16+00:00","dateModified":"2024-06-11T08:14:18+00:00","description":"Data shows the crypto futures market has observed large liquidations in the past day as Bitcoin has shown a sharp surge towards $28,000.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246","contentUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246","width":3368,"height":2246,"caption":"Crypto"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Crypto Shorts See Carnage As Bitcoin Surges Towards $28,000"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/","name":"NewsBTC","description":"Bitcoin &amp;

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to. In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions. Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true. Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn\u2019t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment.. Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form. Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new. As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money. Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn\u2019t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs. Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/keshavverma29\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/keshavvarma29"],"url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/hououinkyouma29\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Crypto Shorts See Carnage As Bitcoin Surges Towards $28,000","url":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246"},"articleSection":"Cryptocurrency Market News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Keshav Verma"}],"creator":["Keshav Verma"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["bitcoin","bitcoin futures","bitcoin liquidation","btc","btcusd","crypto","crypto futures","crypto shorts","cryptocurrency"],"dateCreated":"2023-10-16T14:00:16Z","datePublished":"2023-10-16T14:00:16Z","dateModified":"2024-06-11T08:14:18Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Crypto Shorts See Carnage As Bitcoin Surges Towards $28,000\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/crypto-shorts-carnage-bitcoin-surges-28000\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/10\\\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/10\\\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246\"},\"articleSection\":\"Cryptocurrency Market News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Keshav Verma\"}],\"creator\":[\"Keshav Verma\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"bitcoin\",\"bitcoin futures\",\"bitcoin liquidation\",\"btc\",\"btcusd\",\"crypto\",\"crypto futures\",\"crypto shorts\",\"cryptocurrency\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2023-10-16T14:00:16Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-10-16T14:00:16Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-11T08:14:18Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/wncen.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_2002007354.jpg?fit=3368%2C2246","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555528"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/542"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=555528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/555528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/555574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=555528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=555528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=555528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
