You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rallied by 4.34% on Tuesday. Following on from a 0.18% gain on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $13,626.0. It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rallied from an early morning intraday low $13,054.0 to a late intraday high $13,769.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $13,275 and the second major resistance level at $13,491. A pullback in the final hour, however, saw Bitcoin wrap up the day at sub-$13,700 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $13,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Cardano’s ADA (-0.56%) and Polkadot (-4.72%) bucked the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Ethereum led the way, rallying by 3.22%. Binance Coin (+1.38%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.33%), Chainlink (+1.97%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.49%), Litecoin (+2.20%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.72%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash SV trailed with a 0.26% gain. In current the week, the crypto total fell to a Monday $378.22bn low before rising to a Tuesday $410,2bn high. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $403.43bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low of 61.54% before rising to a Wednesday 63.08% high. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.04%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.67% to $13,717.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $13,593.0 before rising to a high $13,718.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Ripple’s XRP was down by 0.27% to buck the trend early on. Elsewhere it was a bullish start to the day. At the time of writing, Chainlink was up by 1.00% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $13,483 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,912 into play. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $13,769.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $14,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $14,198. Failure to avoid a fall through the $13,483 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,197 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$13,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $12,768.

That\'s more Bitcoin than I wanted to buy, more fiat than I wanted to spend, and it brings the base price of the bitcoin from $11,603, to $12,009, a far larger number. \n\nI would have no problem with this if they were upfront about the fees and what they are doing, but now I have sour taste in my mouth.

I do it because I am encouraged to do so (by you nice folks) and I like to share what I learned so far. Feel free to ask me anything you like. \n\n\n[My first post - a 1 year in reflection + FIRE story](https://old.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/comments/b2bfko/fire_1_year_in_a_few_reflections/)\n\n[And my 2 year follow up here]( https://old.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/comments/etgc2q/fire_2_years_in_a_few_more_reflections/)\n\nI’m a patient person, a future-oriented person, and these characteristics helped me to persist in the long-term planning I did when I was working towards FI/RE. It helped me hold on to my investment in crypto as it soared (Stick to your plan, man: I took some profits, which is how I jumped the queue to FIRE earlier than expected and with more than I needed, though I was heavy on the FI/RE path before that). \n\nI am also a semi-rational person (I think), who has played out a number of scenarios in my head many times. In fact – I had to do that to feel confident to retire in the first place. What if ____ (fill in catastrophic thing) happens?… each time I figured out how I would survive and most of the survival plans fell out to: keep cool and sit tight (a couple of them included “and go back to work.”) Considering how the stock market and economy in general are cyclical, I had gone through the “what do you do when there is a crash and your net worth drops significantly?” (note the crash part is not “if”, but “when”). The answer, as previously mentioned, was “sit on the porch and watch your sunflowers grow.” \n\nThere was a conversation in (I think) one of my posts last year where after the market had dropped a small amount I mentioned I had just chilled through it (while others flipped out and panic-sold and were then kicking themselves) and someone on here snarkily replied “well, wait until you see a REAL drop, then we will see what you do!” \n\nWell Snarko VonSnarkington, this post is for you. \n\nAs you might recall, the month of March was brutal, with many days showing huge losses in the stock markets. Not only did the market drop precipitously but my historically uncorrelated asset bitcoin shit the bed as well (a universal rush to cash?) leaving me just over $1M poorer net-worth-wise. \n\nMy portfolio consists of real estate (my old house that I now rent out), index funds, and bitcoin. I outright own my current house (sold my bond funds to buy the house) and a piece of shit truck that I love. I also own a cat free and clear. \n\nSo what did I do as my portfolio took a double barreled shotgun to the face?!?!? Not a goddamn thing. Ok, that’s a lie. I loss-harvested 90k worth of index funds which have since recovered and then some. I held tight. I held strong. I built shelves for my workshop out of salvaged lumber. \n\nPsychologically I have to say I felt off – it was not fun, and it was not Zen (though I tried brother, I tried). I had to argue with myself “well, this is one of those situations that test your mettle, meboyo…” and “wow, how is this going to play out… nervous… yuck…” but even though I experienced emotions, there was never even the option in my mind to sell in order to protect capital.

Today's Key News: ['The major Asia-Pacific stock indexes were lower across the board on Thursday with China bucking the trend to move modestly higher. The weakness in the East wasn’t nearly as bad as the routs in the United States and Europe the previous sessions, as Asia’s brighter economic outlook offset investor worries about fresh COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe.

Bank of Japan Trims Growth, Price Forecasts; Keeps Policy Steady The Bank of Japan on Thursday trimmed its economic and price forecasts for the current fiscal year ending in March 2021, heightening expectations it will maintain its massive stimulus for a time being to cushion the blow from COVID-19. As widely expected, the central bank kept monetary policy steady, including a -0.1% target for short-term interest rates and a pledge to guide long-term rates around 0%. It also made no changes to a package of measures to ease corporate funding strains caused by the coronavirus pandemic. BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is expected to hold a news conference to explain the policy decision and the new forecasts, which were produced as part of the BOJ’s quarterly report on the economic and price outlook. Samsung Predicts Fourth-Quarter Decline in Profits Due to Weak Demand and Growing Competition Shares in South Korea were among the biggest losers regionally, as the KOSPI Index fell as much as 1.69% before settling 0.79% lower.

Story continues Samsung announced a 59% year-on-year jump in operating profit to 12.35 trillion Korean won (about $10.89 billion) for the July-September quarter, which was in line with earlier guidance. “Looking ahead, Samsung Electronics expects profit to decline in the fourth quarter amid weakening memory chip demand from server customers and intensifying competition in mobile phones and consumer electronics,” the company said in a statement. Sony Shares Pop on Strong Outlook Shares of Sony surged in Tokyo on Thursday, a day after the Japanese electronics giant raised its annual profit forecast. Sony shares in Japan were up 6.69% on Thursday even though Japan’s border index, the Nikkei 225, fell 0.37% on the day., On Wednesday, Sony raised its forecast for its annual operating income by 13% to 700 billion yen (approximately $6.7 billion).

The Blockchain-Based Service Network (BSN), a standardized internet services provider for decentralized applications (dapp) developers, plans to make 24 public chains available in its network for Chinese users starting from the second half of November, according to an internal memo obtained by CoinDesk. Developers can use the technical frameworks behind these public chains to build and run dapps that serve a range of purposes such as financing platforms for small and medium enterprises, source tracking for food companies and record-keeping for banks, law firms or government agencies. Related:US Charges 3 With Vast 'Crypto Jacking' Computer Fraud Scheme These public chains will look quite different after being “localized” for the Chinese market, however. The network will make the decentralized public chains permissioned and replace their tokens with direct payment by the Chinese currency renminbi to cover transaction fees on these chains. This is part of a much larger story. The Chinese government is an active supporter of blockchain technology – but only on its own terms. Authorities would like to reap the benefits of blockchain tech’s traceability and efficiency, but without the decentralization embraced by public chains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. BSN’s latest move came one month after the network integratedsix major public chainsinto the global version of its network. This was so that developers outside China could use a standardized development environment to build and run decentralized applications on these public chains. Unlike in the localized version, public decentralized chains are allowed in the global version of BSN. “There have been few effective ways for public chains to enter the Chinese market and scale up due to legal and regulatory requirements and how these projects position themselves,” the memo, translated by Coindesk from the original Chinese, said of this latest development.

To make public decentralized chains, such as Ethereum, permissioned, BSN will only allow its designated operators to build and operate nodes, where dapps verify on-chain transactions and store data. The network will block all peer-to-peer fee transactions and require its users to use renminbi instead of Ethereum “gas” to cover fees for building and running dapps on chain. “BSN has made it technically impossible to do any virtual currency transactions on the public chains,” the memo said. “BSN strictly follows related laws and regulations and will remove any chain that violates them from the network.” BSN aims to complete all 24 public chains’ integration with the domestic version of the network during the first quarter of 2021 and enable these chains to share data with each other in the first half of the same year. The networkhas formed Public Permissioned Blockchain, a consortium to govern the services on adapted public chains. Huobi Group, as the only named member of the consortium in the memo, will be in charge of transaction settlement and clearing, marketing for the new services and operating the official portal. An unnamed cloud services provider will offer the adapted public chains data storage and other basic internet resources. One of BSN’s backers is Chinese tech conglomerate China Mobile, which has an extensive network of data centers across the country. BSN has also worked with the Chinese branch of Amazon Web Service to provide Internet services for dapps. BSN is backed by the State Information Center of China, a think tank under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the highest economic planning agency. BSN will be responsible for compliance with Chinese regulators and adapting the public chains’ technical framework into the network. While the memo does not disclose any names of these 24 public chains, BSN has already integrated major international projects including Tezos, Ethereum and Cosmos’ IrisNet. “The 24 public chains are highly reputable in the global blockchain community, however, we will not use their original names when they go live on BSN,” the memo said. The chains will be renamed based on 24 Chinese solar terms, a traditional agricultural calendar that informs farmers of seasonal changes. For example, one of the 24 solar terms is First Frost, which indicates the weather is getting colder and water droplets are starting to freeze. Insect Awakening means it is getting warmer and insects that hibernate underground are about to wake up and go outside. Public decentralized blockchains have been underheavy scrutinyfrom the Chinese government since 2017, when China cracked down on initial coin offerings and local exchanges. ICO projects werehard to supervisebecause of their decentralized nature, and authorities feared that wild token speculation could undermine China’sfinancial stability. The tokens from public chain projects are a threat to China’s long-standingcapital controland monetary sovereignty of the Chinese currency. For example,tether, an Ethereum-based token pegged to the U.S. dollar, has become one of the most popular ways forcross-border transactionsbetween Asia and the rest of the world. Authorities may also fear tokens could threaten the use of the renminbi and that would jeopardize monetary policies relying on the control of supply and demand of the Chinese currency. Read more:China’s Blockchain Infrastructure to Extend Global Reach With Six Public Chains In part to pre-empt the rise of tokens such asbitcoin, the Chinese central bank invented its ownnational virtual currency, Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) or the digital yuan. Another reason why China is critical of public decentralized chain projects is the potential for scams, such as Ponzi and pump-and-dump schemes offered as initial coin offerings (ICO) thatmushroomedduring and after the 2017 ICO boom. In September 2017, the Chinese central bank made any centralized ICO fundraising illegal. The People’s Bank of China also carried out a slew ofcrackdownson centralized crypto exchanges and fiat-crypto trading, and prohibited any Chinese bank from processing crypto-related transactions. AntChain, a permissioned enterprise blockchain developed by Ant Financial, a subsidiary of Chinese tech giant Alibaba, has been one of the inspirations for BSN to launch the Public Permissioned Blockchain consortium, according to the memo. “It was a milestone when the company launched Ant Blockchain Open Alliance, a consortium that governs its blockchain-based platform lowering the cost for small and medium enterprises to use blockchain technology,” the memo said. “Technically speaking, it is a public permissioned chain with a few authorized nodes.” Read more:China’s Blockchain Infrastructure Launches Website for Global Devs One of the main missions for Ant Financial is to provide small and medium enterprises with a more accessible financing platform based on its public permissioned blockchain technology. The company could also leverage the large client base of Alibaba’s other subsidiaries, such as Ali Cloud for internet and data services and the digital payment company Ant Financial for any financial transactions in its app. Ant Financial claims its users had been uploading an average of$100 millionin digital assets, including copyright and property ownership certificates as well as transaction records, to its blockchain in July. Chinese shipping giant Cosco said it wastrialingAntChain for tamper-free documentation including container records and import licenses. The company aims togo publicon the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges at a valuation of $200 billion. If the deal follows through, it will be arguably the largest company that operates its own enterprise blockchain. • China’s BSN to ‘Localize’ 24 Public Blockchains by Making Them Permissioned • China’s BSN to ‘Localize’ 24 Public Blockchains by Making Them Permissioned... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Samson1978', 'What makes you so sure about bitcoin price going up?', 10, '2020-10-30 00:36', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jklkhd/what_makes_you_so_sure_about_bitcoin_price_going/', 'Serious question.

It\'s like ban a tech industry: other countries will take advantage of it and you ultimately lose out. \n\nNow, that obviously doesn\'t mean that governments won\'t try to control it in other ways (I\'m very sure they\'ll try), but straight bans I don\'t see, at least not by 1st world governments. \n\n> Why wouldnt it just fizzle out or another coin take over? \n\nIt\'s been 12 years of competition with other coins... This argument is getting old, very literally. Sure, there are no guarantees regarding the future, but it just doesn\'t seem likely at all. Cryptography/cryptocurrencies involve trade offs, and bitcoin makes some hard trade offs in usability, speed, costliness etc, but it\'s not like those are simple things to solve without making other trade offs. \n\nA kinda silly but perhaps effective analogy: a tank is slow, clunky tech with limited usecases. But it has very special advantages. If you need it quick and cheap and easy, a tank is probably not the best solution; you probably would prefer a bicycle or a regular car. But if you need it secure, unstoppable and safe, you have to live with the trade offs a tank has to make by its design. It won\'t be quick or easy like a car, but if you want to go into a battle or an adversarial scenario, you surely don\'t want to be driving a car... Or a bicycle. \n\nedit: here\'s an excellent list of resources with posts/articles on the fundamental trade offs bitcoin makes and why those trade offs are important for the security/decentralization of the network: https://gist.github.com/chris-belcher/a8155df5051bb3e3aa96', 'jklkhd']]], ['u/jtoomim', 'BCHN MR !746 merged: Faster transaction relay', 109, '2020-10-30 02:58', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/jknz9k/bchn_mr_746_merged_faster_transaction_relay/', "[MR 746](https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/merge_requests/746\n) is a relatively simple code change, but it has important implications for BCH's UX and scalability.\n\ntl;dr: BCHN will now by default relay transactions 10x faster than before. This will make BCHN's transaction relay much faster than ABC, though not as fast as BU. On the flip side, BCHN will require more bandwidth than ABC at low transaction throughput rates, but less than BU. BCHN has also added the `-txbroadcastinterval` command-line option to allow node operators to configure this behavior more precisely.\n\n# Background on `inv` message batching\n\nThe inv messages for transactions are responsible for the vast majority of a node's total network traffic, since inv messages are sent per peer regardless of whether that peer needs the transaction or not. If a node is sending one inv per tx per peer, and the node has 50 peers, that results in about `120 bytes/tx/peer * 50 peers = 6000 bytes` of network traffic per transaction, or roughly 6x as much traffic as is required for receiving and sending the transaction itself (assuming a typical 500 byte transaction). In this scenario, about 2/3 of the traffic is actually protocol overhead -- mostly TCP/IP overhead, but also bitcoin p2p protocol overhead. This overhead can be mitigated with batching. Using IPv4, inv messages take up about `80 + 40n` bytes per message, where n is the number of transaction hashes being sent. This means that batching behavior can reduce the average traffic per peer per tx from around 120 bytes (for a batch size of 1) to around 44 bytes (for a batch size of 10). The way to achieve large batch sizes is to have a wait time before sending each tx inv to allow extra txs to be ready in each transmission. A batch size of 10 can be achieved with 20 tx/sec and an average wait time of 2 sec, for example.\n\nIf the wait time is mismatched with the transaction throughput rate, it can result in an increase in transaction propagation time without any substantial improvement in bandwidth efficiency. For example, the transaction throughput rate is currently about 0.25 tx/sec. If the wait time is 1 sec, then the typical`inv` message will contain only 1 tx hash. If the wait time is increased to 2 sec, then the typical `inv` message will still contain only 1 tx hash. That extra second of delay would make a difference in batch size if the transaction throughput rate were 1 tx/sec, but it makes almost no difference at 0.25 tx/sec.\n\nOn the other hand, delays like this will significantly slow down transaction propagation, and will adversely affect UX. A delay of 2 seconds per connection with 20 connections means that a node will broadcast an inv to one peer every 100 ms on average. This delay, coupled with the natural network ping times of ~100 ms, and the 1.5 round-trip time (RTT) communication needed to send a tx, means that the number of nodes who have a transaction will double roughly every (100 ms + 150 ms) = 250 ms if all network nodes used a 2 second delay with 20 peers. If the network is comprised of 8192 nodes, it would take around 3.25 seconds for a transaction to propagate through the full netowrk. This worsens BCH's UX by making transactions feel slower in 0-conf mode, and gives a much larger time window for double-spends than is desirable. Shorter delays before broadcasting `inv` messages mean a better experience for BCH users, and slightly better 0-conf security.\n\n# Changes in !746\n\nWith !746, BCHN makes two major changes:\n\n1. The default behavior for BCHN will be to wait an average of 500 ms between `inv` broadcasts, rather than 5000 ms. Furthermore, this value can be configured at the command-line with the `-txbroadcastinterval=<ms>` command-line option. Lower values (shorter delays) can accelerate transaction propagation; higher values (longer delays) can reduce upstream traffic for your node and downstream traffic for your node's peers. As before, this value halved for outgoing connections: with the default value of `-txbroadcastinterval=500`, BCHN will make on average one batched broadcast every 500 ms on incoming connections, and one every 250 ms on outgoing connections.\n\n2. BCHN also adds a new option to configure the maximum throughput for `inv` announcement messages: `-txbroadcastrate=<tx/sec/MB>`. The default value for this option is the same as before: for each 1 MB of the block size limit, BCHN will allow 7 tx/sec on incoming connections (14 tx/sec/MB on outgoing connections). The default setting of 7 allows for up to `7 tx/sec/MB * 32 MB = 224 tx/sec` of announcement throughput on incoming connections, or 448 tx/sec on outgoing connections. This allows a maximum-sized block (e.g. 32 MB) to be filled with 238-byte average sized transactions in 600 seconds via an incoming connection, or 300 seconds via an outgoing connection. Larger transaction sizes will result in less time being needed to reliably fill blocks. Most users will not need to touch this setting, as the default value is reasonable for most use cases. This limit provides protection against spam attacks while still allowing normal network operation to reliably fill blocks. However, modifying this setting can be useful in some circumstances, such as during stress tests, or for severely bandwidth-constrained applications. Users who are doing stress testing may wish to set this value very high in order to delimit tx broadcasting (e.g. `-txbroadcastrate=9999999`). Users with non-Starlink-based satellite internet (e.g. slow upstream, fast downstream) may wish to experiment with setting this to zero (i.e. `-txbroadcastrate=0`) to avoid relaying transactions, as an alternative to `-blocksonly` mode.\n\n# Comparison to other nodes\n\nBitcoin ABC and [Bitcoin Core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net_processing.cpp#L126) use an average delay of 5 seconds between broadcasts, which makes batching start at around 0.2 tx/sec. [Bitcoin Unlimited](https://gitlab.com/bitcoinunlimited/BCHUnlimited/-/blob/dev/src/net.cpp#L2579) uses a delay of about 10 ms, so BU's batching begins at around 100 tx/sec. BCHN will now default to using a delay of about 500 ms, or b...

Nationally, thejobless rate is at 7.9%.\nTrump has a54% chance of taking Iowa, while Biden has a90% chance of getting a win in Nevada, according to FiveThirtyEight. But just because a state is doing better economically doesn’t mean it’s favored for Trump. The results are all over the broad. Nate Silver’s poll aggregator gives Trump the edge in two battleground states with higher jobless rates, Ohio (8.4%) and Texas (8.3%). While some states with lower jobless rates, in particular, Wisconsin (5.4%) and Minnesota (6.0%),are currently projected to go for Biden.\nHow did these economies get so divided?\nA lot of it boils down to what types of jobs make up the state’s economy. Look no further than tourism-heavy Nevada which saw its jobless rate soar from 3.8% in February to a staggering 30.1% in April. While Nevada has since improved to a 12.6% jobless rate, it will struggle to fully recover until Las Vegas tourism business has returned to normal—something that is unlikely to happen until the pandemic is under control.\nThe economies in industrial Midwestern states were hard hit in the spring when factories saw their production lines halt. They’ve yet to fully dig themselves out of the mess. The unemployment rates in Ohio (8.4%), Pennsylvania (8.1%), and Michigan (8.5%) are all above the national 7.9% figure. FiveThirtyEight gives Trump a55%chance of carrying Ohio, but in Pennsylvania and Michigan that chance is just14%and4%, respectively.\nThe recovery is much more swift in rural Midwestern states with heavy agricultural economies—which have rebounded relatively quickly. The jobless rate in Minnesota surged from 3.1% in February to 9.9% in May at the height of shutdowns. But as the state reopened its economy over the summer, it fell to 6.0% as of September. But that recovery is hardly aiding Trump in the polls: Biden has a93% chance of carrying Minnesota.\nAnd it isn’t just battleground states. The highest jobless rates can be found in Hawaii (15.1%), Nevada (12.6%), and California (11%). The lowest are in Nebraska (3.5%), South Dakota (4.1%), and Vermont (4.2%).\nIt might take years for these high unemployment economies to fully rebound. Overall U.S. employment rose by 661,000 in September, bringing the total number of jobs added since May to 11.4 million,according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics‘ Friday jobs report. But that marks a downshift from the 1.5 million jobs added in August and 1.8 million added in July. If the U.S. continued to add 661,000 jobs per month, it would take 16 months to reach pre-pandemic employment levels.\n• Chobani and PayPal are paying workers more—and rethinking capitalism\n• When it comes to climate change, says Mark Carney,this financial crisis is different—and maybe better\n• Ray Dalio on whyChinese capitalism is on the rise—and why American capitalism is in desperate need of a fix\n• Microsoft’s cloudcould be a bit foggy for the next quarter\n• Coinbase launchescrypto debit cardin U.S. with 1% Bitcoin reward\nThis story was originally featured onFortune.com', 'Our mission to help you navigate the new normal is fueled by subscribers.

As alleged in a criminal complaint unsealed Monday , former fugitive Randy Craig Levine and disbarred attorney Philip Reichenthal never bought their two high-rolling investors any bitcoin despite promising to do so. One victim, an unnamed “purported cryptocurrency escrow firm,” wired Levine $3 million to fund an over-the-counter desk’s bitcoin buy, according to prosecutors, who said the second victim, a Florida bitcoin investor, wired Levine $2 million. Levine allegedly told the victims their funds were moved into an “escrow” service and then stopped responding to the victims’ questions. But Levine’s escrow was actually Reichenthal’s money-laundering front, prosecutors allege. They claim Reichenthal wired millions to Russian, Mexican and Guatemalan bank accounts controlled by Levine aliases. Levine and Reichenthal allegedly pocketed the money, giving their victims no refunds or bitcoin. The pair face allegations of wire fraud, money laundering and commodities fraud in New York federal district court. Levine is currently awaiting extradition from Austria; he’s been on the run from U.S. authorities since 2005. Reichenthal was disbarred last October in a Florida court.

Bush in 2000 to lose the popular vote and take the White House. It\x92s a given that he\x92ll come up short in the national count this time, too. The outcome hinges on Trump\x92s ability to keep that deficit narrow enough to secure a second victory in the electoral college. In 2016, Trump prevailed with a relatively low number of total ballots, because third-party candidates amassed a far higher proportion than in most elections, and Trump got the maximum mileage imaginable from his haul by edging Hillary Clinton by less than a point in no fewer than three electoral vote-rich states, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. To win reelection, Trump needs to immensely boost his performance in the popular vote. Paul Krishnamurty, a professional political gambler and elections expert for the U.K. betting site Betfair\x96\x96the venue has booked $260 million on the election so far and expects that number to double in the days to come\x96\x96reckons that Trump must raise his 2016 count of 63 million by roughly 11 million, or 17%, to stand a decent chance. That\x92s the net increase required, meaning as of today, Trump must squeeze enough new votes from his white, blue-collar, non\x96college-educated base and groups newly leaning his way to make up for his losses among seniors, independents, and disgruntled Republicans, and still add 10-plus million to his 2016 total. Trump can get part of the way by rallying his hard core of white working-class voters and notching gains with Latinos impressed by his handling of the economy and tough stance on Cuba. \x93He seems to think he can get millions of working-class folks who weren\x92t enthused enough to vote for him the last time, to vote for him this time,\x94 says Krishnamurty. \x93Some of them will, but it won\x92t be nearly enough.\x94 Adds University of Florida professor Michael McDonald, who heads the United States Elections Project, an excellent source for voter turnout data: \x93Trump\x92s main strategy is attempting to make Biden appear unlikable, like Hillary Clinton. But that messaging is not getting through.\x94 Trump can only win by somehow broadening his appeal in the last days of the campaign. He\x92d need to bring home millions of the graying Americans appalled by his management of the COVID crisis, and dampen the suburbanites\x92 surging enthusiasm for Biden. It\x92s unclear that claiming the former VP would undermine Social Security and Medicare, or his law and order message pledging to protect homeowners by quelling violence in the cities, get him anywhere near the giant gains in the popular vote needed for victory.

I mean, it's good that there's suspicion but not this much. He has already created lots of infographs and even has explained in full detail how things are going to work.\n\nI mean, sure, he was part of ABC but right now he isn't, and that should be taken as positive as it means Bitcoin ABC is _shit_ at even getting a PR staying long enough to help them in spreading the stupidly-implemented IFP.\n\nI can understand Youtube takedowns, because it's ABC, but one of the top public investors and Bitcoin BCH's head calling a former-ABC PR as a scam?\n\nThis is just the same level of bullshit Hayden Otto himself receives when suspicious BTC maxis call out he's picking certain information.\n\nGeorge has stated a lot of times (look around his posts here) that he is willing to negotiate, but that doesn't mean he's a mercenary.\n\nIf you guys think George will ruin BCH, then do something about it. Make your own infographs. Make your own posts appreciative of the side you are truly with. Don't immediately call out someone with a shady past to be someone who will destroy BCH.\n\nOr else you guys might as well focus on Roger Ver because he got jailed and voted for BTC.\n\nThe distrust is good, but showing off as pointing accusing fingers?

It happened because of his previous Dash history. And people are right to be skeptical and it is up to George to prove them wrong through his actions.\n\nI think people can remember history very well. For example, I remember when Josh Ellithorpe helped me on the LocalBitcoinCash's login bug. Or when Corbin Fraser helped me on the LocalBitcoinCash's css. These happened 3 years ago. I would not be surprised if others remember George's Dash history as well. I also remember things like when Jonathan Toomim went around hospitals donating medical supplies and helped answer my mining questions. These observations helped me understand people slightly better and when people problems happened, I rely on these memories to make decisions. In fact, it was Marc who alerted me well in advance about Amaury. I remember the whole conversation and which restaurant it took place at. The problem is, I act based on evidence and not claims so while I remember Marc's warning, I didn't act on it (unfortunately). In hindsight, it is easy to see that Marc was absolutely correct about Amaury.\n\nAnd yes, I think people are right to remain cautious of George (due to his Dash history) and it is up to George's actions to prove others wrong.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, slipped by 0.16% on Sunday. Partially reversing a 1.62% gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 5.52% to $13,756.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $13,892.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $14,087, Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $13,611.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $13,457, Bitcoin revisited $13,800 levels before easing back into the red. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $14,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Sunday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.33%) and Litecoin (-0.23%) joined Bitcoin in the red, with Binance Coin ending the day flat. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA led the way, rallying by 5.49%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.15%), Chainlink (+3.28%), Crypto.com Coin (+1.06%), and Ethereum (+2.63%) also found strong support. Polkadot (+0.99%) and Ripple’s XRP (+0.14%) trailed the front runners, however. For the week, it was a bearish week for the majors. Crypto.com Coin led the way down, sliding by 13.55%. Bitcoin Cash SV (-9.18%), Cardano’s ADA (-7.67%), and Polkadot (-7.53%) also saw heavy losses. Binance Coin (-5.41%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.35%), Chainlink (-4.55%), Ethereum (-2.32%), Litecoin (-5.49%), and Ripple’s XRP (-5.21%) saw relatively modest losses in the week. For the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Wednesday low $377.68bn before striking a Saturday high $605.88bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $400.16bn. Bitcoin’s dominance slid to a Saturday low 43.12% before bouncing back to a Sunday high 64.19%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.3%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.41% to $13,700.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $13,836.0 before falling to a low $13,700.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day with Crypto.com Coin falling by 1.99% to buck the trend. It was a relatively bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 1.42% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $13,753 to bring the first major resistance level at $13,895 back into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $13,836.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $14,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $14,034. Failure to move back through the $13,753 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,614 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$13,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $13,472.

Cryptocurrency analysts looked for solace in bitcoin ‘s October-to-date return, still at an impressive 22%, during a month when the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of U.S. stocks has declined by 2.7%. “The sell-off in equities and gold due to rising COVID infections and restrictive lockdowns had only a limited impact on the digital asset,” Lennard Neo, head of research for the cryptocurrency-focused firm Stack Funds, wrote Thursday in a report . Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Hits $13.6K; 500K ETH Options Pile Up for December In traditional markets , European stocks rose as traders awaited a decision from the European Central Bank, headed by President Christine Lagarde, on whether further monetary support is needed amid a resurgence in coronavirus cases. U.S. equity futures pointed toward a higher open, as a key government report showed that the world’s largest economy grew at a 33% pace in the third quarter – a somewhat context-less data point that’s likely to do little beyond serving as an easy talking point for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign . Market moves Just as bitcoin bulls were starting to salivate over the cryptocurrency’s powerful rally over the past week toward $14,000, a sell-off in traditional markets has dragged prices back down. Investors globally were rattled by reports of a resurgence in coronavirus cases. German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the country would implement tough new business restrictions , and French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to impose a national lockdown. Related: Mirage Recovery: What ‘Record’ GDP Growth Tells Us About the Economy Such restrictions could crimp economic growth, theoretically a deflationary development, which could reduce demand for bitcoin in the short term as a hedge against higher consumer prices. There’s also the possibility that some investors, seeing further turmoil ahead, decided to bulk up on cash. One of the easiest things to sell is bitcoin, which is still up 84% year-to-date, even after Wednesday’s sell-off. Story continues “It seems the pressure was too much,” Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign-exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantum Economics, told clients Wednesday. As detailed in First Mover on Wednesday, analysts relying on price-chart patterns have identified few points of resistance along bitcoin’s path from the hitherto rarely breached $14,000 psychological level to the all-time-high around $20,000, reached in 2017. According to Greenspan, “$14,000 is a huge psychological barrier, and I would be delightedly flabbergasted if we were able to pass through it without first seeing a significant pullback.” And as reported Thursday by CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole , bitcoin options traders are assigning a low probability that the cryptocurrency will end 2020 above $20,000. The implied chances of prices above that level currently stand around 6%, according to the cryptocurrency data firm Skew. “A below-10% probability of record highs by the year end means the market is unconcerned with that outcome,” Vishal Shah, an options trader and founder of Polychain Capital-backed derivatives exchange Alpha5 told Godbole in a Telegram chat. Despite the sincerest wishes of bitcoin bulls, it would take a rally of more than 60% in the next eight weeks for prices to set a new record. It wouldn’t be unprecedented: There have been eight times in the 11-year old cryptocurrency’s recorded history where prices have rallied more than 50% or more in a two-month span. It could be that traders are just being realistic. “The options market is seemingly not getting carried away with the recent strong price momentum,” Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks, said in a statement to CoinDesk. “If we extrapolate bitcoin’s price action and volatility of the past 90 days till December expiry, then bitcoin appears set to end the year between $14,000 to $15,000.” Read More: Bitcoin’s Options Market Sees Just 6% Chance of $20K Before Year’s End Bitcoin watch Bitcoin’s price rally has paused, with the top cryptocurrency by market value near $13,100, having reached 16-month highs above $13,800 during Wednesday’s Asian trading hours. Investors are rotating money out of stocks and into safe havens like the U.S. dollar and Treasurys on concerns that Germany and France’s new lockdown restrictions would torpedo Eurozone’s fragile economic recovery. Not just bitcoin, but almost every asset denominated in U.S. dollars has taken a beating in the past 24 hours or so. Markets saw similar but more violent action in March when recession fears triggered a global dash for cash. Should the virus figures continue to rise, risk aversion will likely intensify, fueling a more profound decline in the cryptocurrency. However, it’s possible investors could buy the dips, with rising institutional adoption boosting the cryptocurrency’s long-term prospects. Besides, stock markets will likely stabilize, helping bitcoin regain poise if the ECB announces more monetary stimulus later Thursday. While the central bank is expected to maintain the status quo, it could lay the groundwork for additional stimulus in December. Earlier this month, Goldman Sachs said the central bank could boost its pandemic bond-buying program by 400 billion euros ($470 billion) in December to counter deflationary pressures. From a technical analysis standpoint, the immediate bias will remain bullish as long as prices are held above $12,500. On the higher side, the June 2019 high of $13,880 is the level to beat for the bulls. – Omkar Godbole Token watch Bitcoin ( BTC ): Winklevosses’ Gemini cryptocurrency exchange allows purchasing and trading with euros .

Today's Key News: ['PayPal Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ: PYPL ) CEO Daniel Schulman said at the company’s third-quarter earnings call Monday that its\xa0cryptocurrency foray\xa0is "just the beginning of the opportunities." What Happened: Schulman said PayPal\xa0is creating “one of the most compelling and expansive” digital wallets in the world — terming\xa0digital wallets as a “natural complement to all forms of digital currencies.” The executive said that the digitization of the global economy along with the rise of the digital wallet will drive PayPal’s growth over the next decade. The Peter Thiel-co-founded company also plans to\xa0allow consumers to use cryptocurrencies as a “funding instrument” to shop across 28 million merchants on the platform. “This solution will not involve any additional integrations, volatility risk, or incremental transaction fees for either consumers or merchants and will fundamentally bolster the utility of cryptocurrencies,” said Schulman. Schulman said it was just the “beginning of the opportunities” as the company will strive to work “hand in hand with regulators to accept new forms of digital currencies.” The executive said that while the use of cash continues to decline, central banks around the world are exploring or trialing new forms of retail digital currencies. “These trends create an opportunity for us to work with central banks and regulators to shape a modern and inclusive financial system,” said Schulman. Why It Matters: PayPal will add cryptocurrency services to its Venmo app by the first half of 2021 and also allow international users to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency by the same time period. While some have welcomed PayPal’s foray into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, others have questioned the limited nature of the services it will provide. The San Jose, California-based financial giant is said to be in talks to acquire digital asset custodian BitGo, according to Bloomberg. Story continues PayPal’s third-quarter earnings per share rose 75.41% year-on-year to $1.07 beating estimate of $0.94. Price Action: PayPal shares traded almost 5.7% lower at $177 in the after-hours session on Monday after closing 0.9% higher at $187.76.

Trust makes it easy to do business with a brand while a loyalty program rewards customers for returning. Such programs stabilize demand andsupply chainsand are effective at increasing revenue in the long run. Smart businesses know how to incentivize their customers and get them in the door with freebies, a deal they can’t ignore\xa0or other smart marketing ideas, but once that customer is in the store, they can sell them the more expensive items.\nLoyalty program members generate 12-18 percent incremental revenue growth year over year compared to non-members, according to a 2017 Accenturestudy. However, the pandemic has led to big changes in terms of what types of incentives customers are looking for. In these difficult times, entrepreneurs want to know about how trust and incentives help consumers choose brands.\nEarning trust online is more critical than ever as the pandemic and work-from-home (WFH) situations force consumers to begin a digital migration. According to a July 2020 McKinseysurvey, 34 percent of respondents have shopped on Instagram based on influencer recommendations. And 55 percent of consumers reported turning to brands they trust during the lockdown.\nWhen it comes to family and friends, the numbers are compelling: 93 percent say they trust family and friends’ brand recommendations while only 38 percent trust info from advertisers, according to a2020 surveyby Kantar Media.\nCompanies need to redesign ecommerce processes, marketing strategies and partnerships to increase customers’ trust in purchases and shopping journeys. Ecommerce and retail are seeing a big shift, but there’s also been a shift in the enterprise software sales side.\nRelated:Want More Referrals? Here Are The Best Ways to Earn Them\nBlockchain companyUTUwhich means “humanity” in Swahili, believes the way to get there is to build a trust-based infrastructure on the web. That means delivering APIs, Oracles and SDKs that enable trust signals to be evaluated dynamically and presented descriptively.\nI recently spoke with Jason Eisen, CEO of UTU, who says that such an infrastructure would make it difficult for businesses, salespeople, advertisers and unethical parties to manipulate product testimonials, ratings and scores. Their technology is valuable for situations when services are researched and obtained digitally. Fake reviews and rankings have grown pervasive online, and these mislead customers into choosing subpar products and services. Thus, cheating and obfuscations are rewarded. Cheaters exist, unfortunately, so businesses need to be proactive and build their infrastructure with possible loopholes in mind.\nIn the last year, 82 percent of consumers haveread a deceptive review, according to 2019 research by marketing firm BrightLocal. In the U.K., fake reviews potentially influence $29.3 billion of customer spending annually.\n“A trust infrastructure must be decentralized and can be tokenized to incentivize the creation of trust and good outcomes,” says Eisen. “In ecommerce, trust unleashes frictionless transactions. Unfortunately, peoples\' data and personal information are taken, their privacy violated\xa0and reputation sold to bidders. Thus, the current approach to digital trust is wrongly conceived, poorly implemented\xa0and subject to rampant abuse and manipulation.”\nLoyalty programs are important mechanisms that help customers choose brands. Modern loyalty incentives were popularized by U.S. airlines in the 1980s with frequent-flyer miles. Since then, various iterations permeate across hyper-competitive, consumer-facing industries — particularly in credit cards, financial services, retail, hotels, entertainment, electronic goods\xa0and groceries. Companies award perks, points, discounts and free goods in exchange for customers’ repeat purchases which, in turn, enhances enterprise value.\nWith the growing popularity of non-sovereign digital coins, as well as smartphones, companies are beginning to turn to cryptocurrencies to reward tech-savvy customers for their loyalty. For instance, Hong Kong-based Powerchain is launching a blockchain-based loyalty points exchange that enables merchants worldwide to offer a more valuable format of loyalty reward.\nI spoke with Michael Mathias, the company’s CEO and the founder ofGreenPower, who says that blockchain-based rewards can significantly enhance value as well as reduce inefficiencies of traditional points. “Blockchain-integrated loyalty points improve trust and ensure security," he says. "The loyalty points on our blockchain-based platform represent a superior format of customer reward that never expires, is never restricted and is exchangeable for other forms of value, including cash.”\nHowever, 75 percent of consumers have changed shopping behaviors because of the pandemic. “Value, availability, and quality or organic products were the main drivers for consumers trying a different brand,” Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84, 10796.95, 10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35, 10938.27, 10462.26, 10538.46, 10246.19, 10760.07, 10692.72, 10750.72, 10775.27, 10709.65, 10844.64, 10784.49, 10619.45, 10575.97, 10549.33, 10669.58, 10793.34, 10604.41, 10668.97, 10915.69, 11064.46, 11296.36, 11384.18, 11555.36, 11425.90, 11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

A popular DeFi application appears to have been attacked. JPMorgan analysts see “considerable” upsides to bitcoin. Top shelf Crypto guidance The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has clarified that simply holding cryptocurrencies does not need to be disclosed. A published set of draft instructions for this year’s 1040 tax form spells out that returnees must disclose any crypto sales, exchanges for goods or services, or exchanges for property (including other crypto assets). Respondents must also reveal if they received any cryptocurrency for free, including via airdrops or hard forks. “The draft is likely to stand unless there are ‘unexpected issues’ or new legislation requiring changes, the IRS said in the document,” CoinDesk’s Daniel Palmer reports. DeFi drain The $1 billion Harvest Finance protocol appears to have been attacked, draining $25 million worth of bitcoin and stablecoins. The anonymous team behind the popular DeFi application tweeted they are “working actively on the issue of mitigating the economic attack,” adding the malicious actor manipulated stablecoin prices on Curve Finance, another DeFi protocol. DeFi analyst Chris Blec earlier claimed Harvest Finance’s administrators held an “admin key that can drain funds” locked in the protocol’s contracts – though it’s unclear if that level of control is related to the recent exploit. The platform’s native token, FARM, tumbled 65%, and the protocol’s TVL dropped to $673 million (as of 5:00 UTC) on the news. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Surges to New 2020 High as Harvest Debacle Provides Costly DeFi Lesson Tether forfeits The U.S. government is pursuing a civil forfeiture claim on more than 300,000 units of the tether ( USDT ) cryptocurrency after they were reported stolen in a hack earlier this year, CoinDesk’s Sebastian Sinclair reports. The funds, co-owned by Shixuan Cai and business partner Lin Jian Chen, were frozen by operator Tether after Cai reported the theft to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in April, court documents show. “Tether routinely assists law enforcement agents and seeks to further their legitimate objectives,” Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino told CoinDesk. “Tether will always play by the rules, obey the law and try to be supportive of the wider digital token community.” Story continues Speech rights The case against Ethereum developer Virgil Griffith, who is charged by the U.S. government with violating sanctions law and executive orders by allegedly discussing how to bypass economic blockades while speaking at a North Korean cryptocurrency conference, stands without merit, the defense claims. In a motion to dismiss, attorney Brian Klein alleges Griffith only provided information that was already in the public domain and that the President of the United States does not have the authority to prohibit the transmission of information, among other claims. Griffith’s arrest last November is the first sanctions case in a U.S. court involving cryptocurrency. Denial of service PayPal has dropped controversial domain registrar and hosting service Epik as a client, according to Mashable. The payments giant said it had ceased servicing the company over concerns about financial risk, potentially related to Epik’s digital currency, a source “close to the situation” suggested. The crypto, Masterbucks, is used to pay for domain services and can be exchanged for U.S. dollars and allegedly has been touted by Epik as a way to avoid certain taxes. PayPal previously raised money transmission and laundering concerns about the digital currency. For its part, Epik is claiming the blockade shows “anti-conservative bias” because the service has become a lifeline to far-right organizations including Gab and the Proud Boys.

Though a question remains about how the decentralized money may fit itself into the larger investor scheme. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Steady Over $13K as JPMorgan Has Eureka! Moment Part of the issue here is the investor universe is a moving target, especially as more millennials enter the fray. Last week, JPMorgan’s Global Quantitative and Derivatives Strategy published a note, obtained by CoinDesk’s Zack Voell, detailing how this changing investor landscape could contribute to “considerable” upsides for bitcoin. Comparing bitcoin to gold, the client memo argued that bitcoin should be seen as a “risk” asset rather than a hedge, based on its positive correlation with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The analysts pointed to millennial investors’ interest in cryptocurrency and the demographic’s increasing role in the larger financial scheme. CoinDesk’s Voell notes that bitcoin’s market capitalization would have to increase by a factor of 10 before it could match the total private-sector investment in gold. Though “even a modest crowding out of gold as an alternative currency over the longer term would imply doubling or tripling of the bitcoin price from here,” JPMorgan’s note reads. That said, the analysts suggest bitcoin is “currently overbought for the near term.” Market intel Whale parade The number of bitcoin “whales” – clusters of addresses held by a single network participant holding at least 1,000 BTC – is standing at a four-year high. As of Sunday, there are now 1,939 whales, the highest since Sept. 2016, representing a 2.2% increase since last week. CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole notes the increase is likely tied to the prevailing bullish pressures around bitcoin’s price, which jumped 13% last week to register its best single-week performance since April.

Before First Kid , the Minnesota-born actor secured roles in a series of PG-rated comedies, playing a young Emilio Estevez in The Mighty Ducks , before graduating to smaller parts in movies like Problem Child 3: Junior in Love . When his screen time shrunk, Pierce retired from acting for a real executive role: co-founding the video production start-up Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) alongside businessman Marc Collins-Rector. At age 17, Pierce served as its vice president, taking in a base salary of $250,000. DEN became “the poster child for dot-com excesses,” raising more than $60 million in seed investments and plotting a $75 million IPO. But it turned into a shorthand for something else when, in October of 1999, the three co-founders suddenly resigned. That month, a New Jersey man filed a lawsuit alleging Collins-Rector had molested him for three years beginning when he was 13 years old. The following summer, three teens filed a sexual-abuse lawsuit against Pierce, Collins-Rector, and their third co-founder, Chad Shackley. The plaintiffs later dropped their case against Pierce (he made a payment of $21,600 to one of their lawyers) and Shackley. But after a federal grand jury indicted Collins-Rector on criminal charges in 2000, the DEN founders left the country. When Interpol arrested them in 2002, they said they had confiscated “guns, machetes, and child pornography” from the trio’s beach villa in Spain. While abroad, Pierce had pivoted to a new venture: Internet Gaming Entertainment, which sold virtual accessories in multiplayer online role-playing games to those desperate to pay, as one Wired reporter put it, “as much as $1,800 for an eight-piece suit of Skyshatter chain mail” rather than earn it in the games themselves. In 2005, a 25-year-old Pierce hired then-Goldman Sachs banker Steve Bannon—just before he would co-found Breitbart News. Two years later, after a World of Warcraft player sued the company for “ diminishing ” the fun of the game, Steve Bannon replaced Pierce as CEO. Story continues The ‘Varsity Blues’ Screenwriter’s Cold-Blooded Crusade Against L.A.’s Homeless Collins-Rector eventually pleaded guilty to eight charges of child enticement and registered as a sex offender. In the years that followed, Pierce waded into the gonzo economy of cryptocurrencies, where he overlapped more than once with Jeffrey Epstein, and counseled him on crypto. In that world, he founded Tether, a cryptocurrency that bills itself as a “stablecoin,” because its value is allegedly tied to the U.S. dollar, and the blockchain software company Block.one. Like his earlier businesses, Pierce’s crypto projects see-sawed between massive investments and curious deals. When Block.one announced a smart contract software called EOS.IO, the company raised $4 billion almost overnight, setting an all-time record before the product even launched. The Securities and Exchange Commission later fined the company $24 million for violating federal securities law. After John Oliver mocked the ordeal, calling Pierce a “sleepy, creepy cowboy,” Block.one fired him. Tether, meanwhile, is currently under investigation by the New York Attorney General for possible fraud. On July 4, Pierce announced his candidacy for president. His campaign surrogates include a former Cambridge Analytica director and the singer Akon, who recently doubled down on developing an anonymously funded, $6 billion “Wakanda-like” metropolis in Senegal called Akon City. Pierce claims to be bipartisan, and from the 11 paragraphs on the “Policy” section of his website it can be hard to determine where he falls on the political spectrum. He supports legalizing marijuana and abolishing private prisons, but avoids the phrase “climate change.” He wants to end “human trafficking.” His proposal to end police brutality: body cams. His political contributions tell a more one-sided story. Pierce’s sole Democratic contribution went to the short-lived congressional run of crypto candidate Brian Forde. The rest went to Republican campaigns like Marco Rubio, Rick Perry, John McCain, and the National Right to Life Political Action Committee. Last year alone, Pierce gave over $44,000 to the Republican National Committee and more than $55,000 to Trump’s re-election fund. Pierce spoke to The Daily Beast from his tour bus and again over email. Those conversations have been combined and edited for clarity. You’re announcing your presidential candidacy somewhat late, and historically, third-party candidates haven’t had the best luck with the executive office. If you don’t have a strong path to the White House, what do you want out of the race? I announced on July 4, which I think is quite an auspicious date for an Independent candidate, hoping to bring independence to this country. There’s a lot of things that I can do. One is: I’m 39 years old. I turn 40 in November. So I’ve got time on my side. Whatever happens in this election cycle, I’m laying the groundwork for the future. The overall mission is to create a third major party—not another third party—a third major party in this country. I think that is what America needs most. George Washington in his closing address warned us about the threat of political parties. John Adams and the other founding fathers—their fear for our future was two political parties becoming dominant. And look at where we are. We were warned. I believe, having studied systems, any time you have a system of two, what happens is those two things come together, like magnets. They come into collision, or they become polarized and become completely divided. I think we need to rise above partisan politics and find a path forward together. As Albert Einstein is quoted—I’m not sure the line came from him, but he’s quoted in many places—he said that the definition of insanity is making the same mistake or doing the same thing over and over and over again, expecting a different result. [ Ed. note: Einstein never said this. ] It feels like that’s what our election cycle is like. Half the country feels like they won, half the country feels like they lost, at least if they voted or participated. Obviously, there’s another late-comer to the presidential race, and that’s Kanye West. He’s received a lot of flak for his candidacy, as he’s openly admitted to trying to siphon votes away from Joe Biden to ensure a Trump victory . Is that something you’re hoping to avoid or is that what you’re going for as well? Oh no. This is a very serious campaign. Our campaign is very serious. You’ll notice I don’t say anything negative about either of the two major political candidates, because I think that’s one of the problems with our political system, instead of people getting on stage, talking about their visionary ideas, inspiring people, informing and educating, talking about problems, mentioning problems, talking about solutions, constructive criticism. That’s why I refuse to run a negative campaign. I am definitely not a spoiler. I’m into data, right? I’m a technologist. I’ve got digital DNA. So does most of our campaign team. We’ve got our finger on the pulse. Most of my major Democratic contacts are really happy to see that we’re running in a red state like Wyoming. Kanye West’s home state is Wyoming. He’s not on the ballot in Wyoming I could say, in part, because he didn’t have Akon on his team. But I could also say that he probably didn’t want to be on the ballot in Wyoming because it’s a red state. He doesn’t want to take additional points in a state where he’s only running against Trump. But we’re on the ballot in Wyoming, and since we’re on the ballot in Wyoming I think it’s safe—more than safe, I think it’s evident—that we are not here to run as a spoiler for the benefit of Donald Trump. In running for president, you’ve opened yourself up to be scrutinized from every angle going back to the beginning of your career. I wanted to ask you about your time at the Digital Entertainment Network. Can you tell me a little bit about how you started there? You became a vice president as a teenager. What were your qualifications and what was your job exactly? Well, I was the co-founder. A lot of it was my idea. I had an idea that people would use the internet to watch videos, and we create content for the internet. The idea was basically YouTube and Hulu and Netflix. Anyone that was around in the ‘90s and has been around digital media since then, they all credit us as the creators of basically those ideas. I was just getting a message from the creator of The Vandals, the punk rock band, right before you called. He’s like, “Brock, looks like we’re going to get the Guinness Book of World Records for having created the first streaming television show.” We did a lot of that stuff. We had 30 television shows. We had the top most prestigious institutions in the world as investors. The biggest names. High-net-worth investors like Terry Semel, who’s chairman and CEO of Warner Brothers, and became the CEO of Yahoo. I did all sorts of things. I helped sell $150,000 worth of advertising contracts to the CEOs of Pepsi and everything else. I was the face of the company, meeting all the major banks and everything else, selling the vision of what the future was.

A Chinese girl, in her 20\'s.\n\nWe talked for quite a few days, and one day, after i asked what she was doing at the moment she told me she was into trading as a hobby, since we talked about her main occupation of jewellery designer, and made quite a bit of money recently, that she was investing.\n\nSince I had a friend who knew a bit about it, and we talked lot about crypto and stuff, I thought I knew the basics or at least enough. She told me, after I asked, again, making no pressure, that she was investing in this new BLTO coin, in a market called\xa0Lenmo.com, again, all this in between good conversations and the typical stuff. Again, all of this in the span of days. \n\nMy stupid, greedy, high, horny and lonely ass totally fell for the compliments and offers to help getting started on that exchange place, all while warning me of its dangers as if caring about me.\n\nHer aunt was a finance advisor in Singapore and she had told her that this coin was going to be listed in 2 months time, At which point its value would be a lot bigger and selling the coin would mean a great profit. She was just sharing her plan with me, nothing seemed forced or off.\n\nShe sent screenshots of her investments in the likes of 20k in this exchange market, along with guiding me through all the process, just because i asked and i never for a second doubted a thing. Cant even begin to describe the felling of loss of trust in myself i feel right now.\n\nEverything was fine, no red flags, until just after I had made a conversion from bitcoin to BLTO\'s in\xa0Lenmo.com\xa0.\n\nFirst i needed some kind of invitation code to buy the coins, that she gave me, explaining it was to "prevent malicious registration". Unquestioned, the code was inserted.\n\nJust to see how i\'d do it later, I tried changing back from BLTO to bitcoin again, and the same option to buy more BLTO\'s appeared. I asked her and she explained it was because the coin hadn\'t been listed yet, so we were in the internal subscription stage, so you couldn\'t yet retrieve anything you had deposited. Somehow, i didn\'t question that.\n\nI say somehow sarcastically, I can see i\'m just stupid and greedy and easily deceivable.\n\nIn any case, we just talked a bit more about mundane stuff and she said she went to bed. Of course i only searched Lenmo after making the transaction, and found only an entry about it online on a forum:\xa0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284365.0\xa0, in which someone asks if anyone has ever heard of this exchange, and the consensus is that it is not only unknown, but a fake, and untrustworthy.\n\nSo, basically, i got scammed for 200 of my hard earned moneys, can no longer afford to go home for the holidays as i live abroad, and received a well deserved ego punch. I\'m not sure if she is going to reply tomorrow, but i have no idea how or even if i can get the money back if she answers, so i don\'t see the point in letting her know i\'ve realised my own stupidity.\n\nTL;DR: Matched with a girl on Tinder, she was cute and smart, had a hobbie of trading crypto and an aunt with inside info, showed me some photo of her investments and taught me how to trade to this great coin that was going to blow up, all in this fake exchange market, that took my already small funds and self confidence.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/jnm5kk/tifu_by_getting_scammed_with_cryptocurrency_by_a/', 'jnm5kk', [['u/cheech-wizard', 11, '2020-11-04 01:13', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/jnm5kk/tifu_by_getting_scammed_with_cryptocurrency_by_a/gb28nam/', 'Always make financial decisions when you are high and horny.\n\nJust sayin...', 'jnm5kk'], ['u/necknecker', 10, '2020-11-04 01:40', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/jnm5kk/tifu_by_getting_scammed_with_cryptocurrency_by_a/gb2bjkq/', 'Sorry you fell for this.

Today's Key News: ['AstraZeneca plc (NYSE: AZN ) has received the regulatory nod\xa0to conduct clinical trials of its COVID-19 vaccine in Chile and Peru, Reuters reported Wednesday. What Happened: Chile’s President Sebastian Pinera said that his nation’s health regulator had approved the British company’s vaccine trial, according to Reuters. According to Pinera, the clinical trial of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) COVID-19 vaccine candidate is already underway and the doses of Sinovac’s vaccine arrived in the country on Wednesday. Peru announced that trials of Johnson and Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines would begin next week, according to Reuters. The country had withdrawn a deal to purchase AstraZeneca’s vaccine two weeks ago as the company did not provide data on its vaccine studies. Why It Matters: Pinera also disclosed that Chile had signed up for 7.6 million doses of vaccine through the\xa0World Health Organization-led COVAX initiative. The World Bank is supporting COVAX and WHO’s efforts and has pledged billion in financing for developing countries to purchase and distribute COVID-19 vaccines, tests, and treatments. The United Kingdom-based AstraZeneca already has deals for the production and supply of its COVID-19 vaccine with multiple Latin American countries. Price Action: AstraZeneca shares closed nearly 6.5% higher at $55.04 on Wednesday and gained 0.11% in the after-hours session.

The goal is not only to make the wallet easier to use as more people start adopting bitcoin, but also to implement the privacy improvements of the WabiSabi protocol, including making CoinJoins automatic by default. In a blog post laying out the launch timeline of the wallet, Wasabi announced the updated version would get a full UI (user interface) rewrite and user experience improvements, as well as make a CoinJoin easier for your average user. At the moment the team is in the midst of first steps for all three of these developments. While the most likely timeline for release is nine months, it could take as few as three or as many as 14. The post also said manual coinjoining will be a thing for “power-users only.” Related: Bitcoin Hits $15,000: Here Comes the FOMO Read more: Wasabi Wallet Is Revamping Its CoinJoin Design to Allow Bitcoin Mixing With Differing Values “Wasabi adds complications to traditional Bitcoin wallet workflows with its manual coinjoining process and its mandatory coin control features,” said Adam Ficsor, Wasabi co-founder and lead researcher, in an email to CoinDesk. “To improve upon these we’re planning to make coinjoining automatic by default and build upon the realization that coin control is mostly friction when the user would like to spend conjoined coins, so we should be able to introduce a simple send for that.” Automatic CoinJoins A CoinJoin is a method for bitcoin (BTC) users to make their payments harder to track by combining multiple payments from multiple senders into a transaction, muddying the ability of third parties to see who paid whom. Related: Federal Reserve Keeps Rates Close to Zero, Maintains Asset Purchases Ficsor said his plan currently is that at wallet creation, users would be asked if they want the wallet to take care of CoinJoins or whether they’d prefer to do it manually, as is the case now. Users would also set a privacy target (Ficsor tossed out levels such as none, some, high and Snowden) and then everything would happen automatically from there. Story continues “CoinJoins would be done while the wallet is open (and even when it isn’t) so all the user would have to do is use its wallet like a normal bitcoin wallet,” said Ficsor. He did say that while this is his plan, the final product could turn out differently based on what the team learns along the way. How WabiSabi improves on CoinJoins In the original Wasabi Wallet, there were limits to the functionality of CoinJoins. My colleague Colin Harper wrote about some of these earlier this year : “For this to work effectively, each user in a CoinJoin transaction must send a minimum amount of bitcoin to the mixing pool (e.g., 0.1, 0.01, etc) so as to ensure that they receive the same output as other users when the CoinJoin is complete,” Harper wrote. “If recipients don’t receive the same amount of bitcoin at the end of a join as other users in the mix, the transactions could be easily de-anonymized by blockchain surveillance.” Read more: Europol Names Privacy Wallets, Coins, Open Marketplaces as ‘Top Threats’ in Internet Crime Report Typically, the coordinator of a CoinJoin also has insight into a user’s information, that could allow them to link inputs to a user. WabiSabi, which will launch with the Wasabi Wallet 2.0, works to address some of these limitations by allowing users to input different amounts of BTC, independent of what other participants put in – which, let’s be honest, is how most people spend money. The coordinator role will still exist. How this helps the average user Ficsor said for average users the only uncomfortable thing they might experience with Wasabi Wallet 2.0 is that it may take a while until CoinJoins happen. This means if the users receive coins to their wallets, then it’d be automatically coinjoined in the background, and that may take a while. If users are in a hurry and want to spend their money before it’s coinjoined, they would have to utilize the manual coin control tab and figure it out, given spending non-coinjoined coins without coin control is “privacy suicide,” according to Ficsor. “That being said, I think in 99% of the cases there will always be coinjoined coins to spend from, so this wouldn’t really occur that often.” Related Stories Wasabi Wallet 2.0 Will Offer Automatic CoinJoins by Default to Boost Privacy Wasabi Wallet 2.0 Will Offer Automatic CoinJoins by Default to Boost Privacy', 'Wasabi Wallet, the privacy-focused bitcoin software wallet, has set a broad timeframe for the release of Wasabi Wallet 2.0.

And in possibly even bigger news, an Unreal Engine Nano plugin was created, which creates an excellent way for developers to jump on the crypto hype train and allows them to incorporate payments into their game. If you're going to incorporate crypto into your game, it doesn't get much better than a crypto that allows instant, feeless value transfers. \n\nRealistically, any of those services really catch on and that's a massive increase in adoption for Nano, and a massive increase in price for Nano. To me it feels like the developers have been getting Nano ready for years, so that on a protocol level it's ready to handle the adoption that's soon coming. And because Nano scales so well, once adoption starts it's just going to be able to keep increasing.\n\nSo yeah, I think Nano is definitely going to see a big increase in adoption one way or another, and I'm looking forward to it.", 'jobqqt'], ['u/Thc420Vato', 11, '2020-11-05 07:58', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jobqqt/what_alts_are_you_considering_as_your_safest_bets/gb7fbfd/', 'Cardano, its safe to say that its price will 2-3x with ease once Gougen/Smart contracts update comes out in 6 months.

Your fraction of a bitcoin has netted you a whopping $428 in profits. Now you can’t wait to tell me how trading stocks in an old man’s game and I should turn my attention to crypto. Not so fast buddy. There are still many ways to play the bitcoin boom in the regular old boring stock market. In fact, we have an entire portfolio here at Zacks, run by a handsome, albeit furry-faced man. You know exactly what I’m talking about folks, Blockchain Innovators.

At the surface, that seems like a loose correlation at best to blockchain, let alone bitcoin. However, Microstrategy has been quietly adding bitcoin reserves to its balance sheet. As of September 15th, the company had $425 million of bitcoin. On that date, bitcoin closed the day trading a little more than $10,000. Today’s breakout over $15k means these holdings are now worth nearly $650 million.

The correlation is still very high.” Bitcoin may be operating in tandem with traditional markets as of late, but its returns over the past month have been beating global stock indexes. In the options market, traders have over 36,000 BTC in open interest set to expire by Oct. 30. Based on the probability of those options, bitcoin has a 68% chance of closing out the month over $10,000, a 53% chance of being over $10,500 and just a 37% chance to hit $11,000. Related:Bitcoin Options Volume on CME Jumps 300% as Traders Take Bullish Bets DV Chain’s Rabkin noted that as more sophisticated investors jump into crypto, it may ebb and flow with the traditional market more than ever before. “As bitcoin is becoming a new asset class for institutional market participants, its sensitivity to macro events will rise over time.” The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization,ether(ETH), was flat Wednesday, trading around $341 and in the red 0.03% in 24 hours as of 20:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET).

It dropped 7,162 addresses Sept. 27, the lowest since Oct. 17, 2017. As of Tuesday, Ethereum addresses with a balance greater than or equal 1,000 ETH was at 7,220 addresses. It’s important to note this data from Glassnode don’t include smart contracts, which may help explain why the number of addresses has dropped in 2020. George Clayton, a managing partner of investment firm Cryptanalysis Capital, says many large ether holders are likely moving some of the crypto into smart contract-based DeFi protocols for additional profit opportunities. “Ethereum believers ought to be DeFi believers as well,” said Clayton. “With billions flowing into DeFi, major ETH holders might be getting in on the action by participating in automated market making pools or staking ERC-20 tokens, thereby reducing ETH balances.” Digital assets on theCoinDesk 20are mixed Wednesday.

The company used the funds to spur the development of algorithmically-driven strategies that minimize risk through a combination of long and short positions. After mixed success evaluating new opportunities to derive alpha as well as provide value to participating creators and investors, the firm decided it will retire its community and related services on Nov. 14, 2020.

I have been in a long running\n\nmargin trade on Poloniex for several months on Stellar Lumens (XLM) also known as STRBTC. I have\n\nbeen adding margin to this trade for some time to keep it afloat, trusting that eventually the price\n\nwill rebound.\n\nOn the evening of 27th October @ 18:04 there was a flash crash that took the Stellar price down to\n\n106 sats from +-600 sats before the price rebounded back to where it was. This move instantly\n\nliquidated my position as the Polo liquidation engine is based on Last Traded Price (no index or fair\n\nmarket price system similar to that of Bitmex for example). You can see in the attached image an\n\nexample of what this looked like on the chart.\n\n[STRBTC Chart](https://imgur.com/a/cnK09Wp)\n\nI contacted Poloniex support to find out what had happened. You can see there response below.\n\nHonestly, sounds like a load of bullshit to me.\n\n[Poloniex Email](https://imgur.com/a/qvuN4yz)\n\nTo which my response was as follows:\n\n“Thanks for your swift response and what you have done so far. I do however feel that this is dishonest on the exchange's part as they have essentially forced me to then close my trade at 624 sats at a massive loss. This is not something I clearly would have ordinarily done as I have been adding margin to the trade to keep it afloat for some time. It means that the exchange has interfered in my trade beyond the ordinary scope of what they would do so. I believe that the correct thing to do would be to restore my original trade in place at your quoted price of 624 sats.”\n\nI have since been in touch with a handful of people that were affected in the same crash and they have received similar responses from the Polo support team and have also since been ignored for any follow up.\n\nNow that this has happened to me, I decided to do more research into it and found that this exact same thing has occurred several times on Poloniex. Links for more info below on these other instances:\n\n(will post in comments)\n\nInterestingly, the STR wallet was down several days prior to the crash and almost immediately went down for maintenance again straight after (trying to prevent people from leaving with currency for some reason perhaps?). It honestly feels like everything they do is underhanded and leaves me questioning whether or not perhaps they instigated this flash crash to fish for liquidations themselves.\n\nMy questions for the forum are as follows:\n\n1. Do you agree that Polo is at fault/admitted fault and that I am justified in wanting them to either reinstate my margin trade or some alternative for recompensation?\n2. Has this happened to you in any way and if so, did Polo reimburse you or are you being affected by the same Stellar Flash Crash?\n3. Do I have any grounds for wanting to claim recompensation for what has happened?\n\nTL;DR: Get your coins off of Poloniex. I feel that they have scammed me out of currency and many others that I have been in contact with; they're liquidity is shocking.

Instead of doing that, or having a stop, you’re now liquidated.\n\nI know people who used a counter-trend bot that works extremely well if the market is ranging or only trending slightly, so it was going well for a much if this year.\nThen this recent BTC pump started about 3 weeks ago and people got liquidated losing anywhere between 0.3-3BTC.\n\nDoing a counter trend trade and trying to average your entry and all that is just.not.smart.

The chemicals sector stabilized in October while the pace of contraction eased in both the metal products and building materials sectors.\nRespondents across all sectors noted a jump in sales and new orders as a result of pent up demand from the initial activity restrictions.

Now, some of those funds are accepting cryptocurrency donations. Facilitated by crypto payment processorThe Giving Block, theBail Project, theChicago Community Bond Fundand theNashville Community Bail Fund, for example, accept cryptocurrency including bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and even basic attention token (BAT). They’ve taken in thousands of dollars in crypto donations since the summer, according to The Giving Block, which could be a sign of larger adoption in the space of bail funds. This summer saw a rise in civil action against police violence in the U.S., with thousands of protestors taking to the streets over the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Around this time, Alex Wilson, co-founder of The Giving Block, started hearing from bail funds that were interested in using The Giving Block to process cryptocurrency payments. Read more:Baby Steps or Handcuffs? Crypto Pros Assess PayPal’s Bitcoin Play According to the director of the Community Justice Exchange, Pilar Weiss, not many of theorganization’s member bail fundsaccept crypto. She said that is based on the grassroots nature of many crowdfunding actions for bail funds. While a handful of their member funds accept crypto, including the Richmond Bail Fund, if they do it’s usually because they have some back-end administrative capacity to accept. Weiss said she could see that change, however, as fundraising platforms like PayPal, for example,move into accepting cryptocurrency donations. Related:How Financial Advisors Should Think About Bitcoin with Morgen Rochard “The traditional kind of nonprofit donor, which some nonprofits rely on, are on the older side, in their fifties and sixties, and often even retired,” said Wilson. “Sometimes [nonprofits] have a hard time connecting with younger donors. So they see this as one of those ways of doing that. It also helps them look a little bit more innovative when they’re starting to play with stuff like crypto and not just taking checks in the mail.” When someone is arrested, a judge sets bail and the detainee must either pay that amount or stay in jail until the trial. But not everyone has access to ready cash and the system disproportionately impacts low-income citizens in both the short and long term. According to research from the Bail Project, a single night in prison can have cascading effects such as the loss of a job, a home and even custody of children. Waiting in jail prior to trial also impacts a detainee’s likelihood of going to prison, according to a regularly updatedreport on cash bailfrom the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan law and policy institute. The report found that “those who are held pretrial are four times more likely to be sentenced to prison than defendants released prior to trial. Pretrial detainees are also likely to make hurried decisions to plead guilty to a lower charge to spend less time behind bars rather than changing a higher charge and longer sentence at trial.” See also:Belarus News Media Are Testing Decentralized Tech to Resist Censorship Bail funds are essentially large, crowdsourced funds that are then used to bail people out of jail as they await their trials. Organizations like the Bail Project, the Chicago Community Bond Fund and the Nashville Community Bail Fund are working to pay bail for those who can’t afford it in such situations. Co-director of the Nashville Community Community Bail Fund Jessica Lamb says the fund was founded in 2016 to free low-income Nashvillians from jail, and work to end what the fund calls “wealth-based detention.” “Our vision is a society where money does not determine any person’s access to freedom,” said Lamb in an email. “Since our inception, we have freed nearly 1,500 Nashvillians from jail. We also work with community partners to disrupt the criminal legal system and work toward money bail policy reform.” Bail has a cascading effect on things from civil rights to elections. If people know they’re unlikely to be able to risk arrest because they can’t afford bail, they will be less inclined to take to the streets against injustice. That threat of arrest and staying in jail is a coercive measure that, in effect, curbs protestors’ right to free speech and assembly. Bail also has downstream consequences for elections. Given that being unable to afford bail affects whether they will plead guilty as well as how long they’re held, it can curb people’s ability to vote. Besides being unable to vote, If someone is held in detention and pleads guilty to something on the level of a felony, that voting ability can be curtailed for years. Wilson said there are a number of benefits for bail funds taking cryptocurrency donations. One is it helps them offset economic loss, given the economic uncertainty of the times, by diversifying their revenue and donation streams. Another aspect he has noticed in his work is that cryptocurrencies tend to appeal to a younger demographic, and they’re likely to be completely new donors. See also:Monero-for-Bail Project Sees Increased Demand During Protests The important ability of international donors to contribute easily through crypto is specifically something Wilson was hearing from groups that were part of The Giving Block’sCrypto for Black Lives campaign, which was kicked off this summer to raise money for civil rights organizations, including bail funds. While that wasn’t the reason The Giving Block became interested in crypto, it’s become an important component. The final reason is simple: taxes. When you realize a capital gain (price increase) on a cryptocurrency and trade or cash it out, that’s a taxable event. But bitcoin or other cryptocurrency donations to a nonprofit are treated like donations of stock. As such they are not considered taxable events, meaning you don’t pay those capital gains taxes when you donate and you can deduct them on your tax return. Read more:‘Snake Oil and Overpriced Junk’: Why Blockchain Doesn’t Fix Online Voting The Bail Project’s Chief Financial Officer Zach Herz-Roiphe said he’d encourage any nonprofit to cast as wide a net as possible for donors. Thus far, bitcoin specifically and crypto in general have historically made up an extremely small portion of total donations over the years, but as crypto becomes more mainstream he expects that to change. “We expect that more people will embrace crypto as their preferred method of making donations – especially as people understand the tax benefits of giving via crypto, which are similar to those of donating conventional securities,” he said. Practically, The Giving Block is serving as a payment processor and enabler for these organizations to expand how they take donations. “We essentially try to make it as easy as possible for bail funds or other nonprofits to be able to accept crypto and not have to worry about, for example, the volatility of crypto,” said Wilson. “So all these nonprofits have an option to automatically convert the crypto to U.S. dollars.” Wilson said that while his organization has seen a tailing off of interest from bail funds after the summer, there is still a greater level of interest than there has been. On a high level, according to Wilson, these projects have gotten thousands of dollars, but less than $25,000 each since June in crypto donations. See also:Activists Document Police Misconduct Using Decentralized Protocol Lamb said cryptocurrency donations are a small portion of the Nashville Community Bail Fund’s total donations. “But it’s cool to see donations coming in a new way. One of the best parts about it for us has been learning more about the crypto community, especially the ways it has pitched in to support both the COVID-19 crisis and the movement for Black lives,” said Lamb. These aren’t the only projects leveraging crypto in the service of supporting efforts for systemic change. Bail Bloc is a project that lets you minemonero(XMR) forbail funds. A few months ago, a group of activists put together aproject to document police violenceon the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and the Ethereum blockchain. “I think the issue of addressing bail will continue to be popular with the crypto community,” said Wilson. “In general I think the cause of ending cash bail is one that really resonates. In the meantime, helping people afford bail is an alternative.” • US Bail Funds Are Seeing an Uptick in Cryptocurrency Donations • US Bail Funds Are Seeing an Uptick in Cryptocurrency Donations... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/ramagam', "I'm thinking about doing the unthinkable.....", 88, '2020-11-08 00:25', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jq0ss4/im_thinking_about_doing_the_unthinkable/', 'So yeah, I am seriously considering talking a very serious $100k risk, so naturally, I figured I would consult a bunch of random strangers on the internet for advice......\n\nI am considering taking 100k out of my 401k and sticking it in btc.\n\nI know.....\n\nHere are my details: My wife and have about 400 total in our 401\'s.

Writing to clients in “Flows & Liquidity,” one of JPMorgan’s flagship publications, the authors said that characterizing bitcoin as a “risk” asset rather than a “safe” asset is “more appropriate” based on the leading cryptocurrency’s increased positive correlation with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index since March. Bitcoin’s function as a risk asset is “likely more of a reflection of a need for an ‘alternative’ currency rather than a need for a ‘safe’ asset or ‘hedge’.” Related:First Mover: Bitcoin Steady Over $13K as JPMorgan Has Eureka! Moment “To some extent, this is also true with gold,” the authors add, although the yellow metal’s volatility is notably lower than bitcoin’s. How investors currently perceive bitcoin’s value implies that it could “compete more intensely” with gold as an “alternative” currency over the coming years, the analysts wrote. Bitcoin’s role as a gold competitor is amplified by millennial investors’ interest in cryptocurrency, according to the note, and the inevitability of the younger investor demographic becoming “over time a more important component” of the investor universe.

Specifically, PayPal’s Wednesdayannouncementof support for bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) is “another big step toward corporate support for bitcoin,” according to the note. The authors also identify “strong growth” in institutional investor interest in bitcoin indicated by activity in CME futures and options markets.

Reporting over $2.4 million in mining revenue, the Castle Rock, Colo.-based mining firm increased revenue by 42% from the same period in 2019. The company’s mining revenue clearly benefited from a 15% increase in the price of bitcoin during the Q3 in addition to its increased hash power. Riot filings show it mined 222 BTC in Q3 2020, up 41% from the same period last year, but slightly lower than the 227 BTC mined in Q2 2020 . In 2019, Riot switched to mining bitcoin exclusively, CEO Jeff McGonegal told CoinDesk. Previously, the company also mined litecoin and bitcoin cash . Riot reported a current mining capacity of 556 peta hash per second (PH/s), meeting its goal set in its Q2 earnings release , which represents a 450% increase from its Q3 2019 hash power of 101 PH/s. Riot plans to continue aggressively expanding its mining operations, per its earnings report, through four purchase agreements with mining manufacturer Bitmain for a total of 16,600 S19-Pro machines. The firm expects incremental delivery and deployment of its new machines through the end of Q2 2021. Concurrent with an increase in mined bitcoin and the leading cryptocurrency’s 114% year-to-date rally, Riot’s cryptocurrency corporate liquidity grew from $7.2 million in Q2 to $9 million in Q3. Its cash reserves ballooned from $9.1 million to $30.1 million over the same period. Riot shareholders enjoyed the lowest quarterly loss per share since the company first fully deployed its cryptocurrency mining hardware in Q2 2018. The loss per share dropped to $0.04 in Q3, a 50% improvement from a loss per share of $0.08during the same period last year. Riot shares were trading hands at $3.50 at Monday’s close, up 32% from the start of Q4. They’ve risen more than 200% year to date.

Daily Context for Date: 2020-11-10 Financial & Commodity Data: - Gold Closing Price: $1875.40 - Crude Oil Closing Price: $41.36 Bitcoin Market & On-Chain Metrics: - Market Capitalization: $285,338,689,641 - Hash Rate: 122675182.48120748 - Transaction Count: 303270.0 - Unique Addresses: 684892.0 Social & AI Sentiment: - Fear & Greed Index: 0.90 Other Textual Data: - Daily Tweets (Sample): N/A - Contextual Past News Article: The big news Wednesday in the world of finance wasPayPal HoldingsPYPL entering the digital currency conversation with their launch of a new service enabling its customers to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrency directly from their PayPal account.From the company press release..."The migration toward digital payments and digital representations of value continues to accelerate, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased interest in digital currencies from central banks and consumers."Last week, I reviewed the impact thatSquareSQ was having on Bitcoin, with its renewed commitment and recent $50 million investment, in this video and article...Why Square is Jamie Dimon's Favorite MistakeThat move by Jack Dorsey & Co. put a little more kick in Bitcoin's step as it was already testing and bouncing off of the $10,000 breakout level from July.And the move by PayPal kicked in the Falcon booster rockets on the Starship Bitcoin as it soared above the August high-close of $12,300 and flirted with levels near $13,000 not seen since the summer of 2019, up over $1,000 or 8%+.Why PayPal Matters Even Without an Investment StakeAs far as I can tell, PayPal did not disclose an investment stake similar to Square's announcement. But the company saying that it "signaled its plans to significantly increase cryptocurrency's utility by making it available as a funding source for purchases at its 26 million merchants worldwide," was enough to light the bonfire.This is significant because of PayPal's broad global reach with $222 billion in payments volume processing in the second quarter among 346 million active accounts.And according to Reuters, "PayPal hopes the service will encourage global use of virtual coins and prepare its network for new digital currencies that may be developed by central banks and corporations, President and Chief Executive Dan Schulman said in an interview."“We are working with central banks and thinking of all forms of digital currencies and how PayPal can play a role,” he said.I thought this statement was pretty significant by itself. PayPal is talking to not just one central bank, but probably a dozen or more as they envision the digital payments and store-of-value future.The digital wallet pioneer even acknowledged how deeply they've been thinking about the global ramifications, with this line in the press release..."According to a survey by the Bank for International Settlements, one in 10 central banks – representing approximately one-fifth of the world's population – expect to issue their own digital currencies within the next three years."Even the Fed Wants a Digital Dollar?On August 13, Forbes crypto and blockchain contributor Jason Brett described that day's presentation by Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard which "provided a broad description of the Fed’s ongoing research and plans in the potential development of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), also described in the U.S. as a Digital Dollar."According to Brett, Brainard has for years led the discussion at the Fed on distributed ledger technology and digital currencies and she noted "the Fed is active in conducting research and experimentation in these areas."This is why the move by PayPal could blow the lid off of Bitcoin and send it to new highs above $20,000 in the next year.The way I see it,PayPal will force all central banks and financial institutions to move faster.Look at it this way: the most important central bank in the world, the US Federal Reserve, has been showing some of its hand with interest in digital currencies -- since at least August -- and that probably encouraged some buying interest in Bitcoin.But the move by PayPal ignited an 8% frenzy that puts Bitcoin easily on a trajectory to challenge the June 2019 highs above $13,800 and then probably move higher from there, where many chartists would see no sleep till $16,000.As Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings, was fond of saying in 2017, "the herd is coming."Is Gold Still an Asset Class?I have long been bearish on gold as a truly barbarous and irrelevant relic in the era of digital QE. Of course, I didn't see the Fed remaining dovish for possibly another five years when I wrote Why Gold is Headed to Zero -- And What You Should Buy Instead.But I'm okay being wrong about that as long as I'm right about the equities -- Tech likeNVIDIANVDA and Biotech like CRISPR Therapeutics -- being worth more than theSPDR Gold Shares ETFGLD in the long run.And I'm fascinated by the analysis and conviction of the crypto bulls like Novogratz and Dave Bartosiak, who runs the Blockchain Innovators portfolio. I asked Dave what he thought about today's blast-off and here's what he said..."The PayPal news is yet another step forward for the legitimization of cryptocurrency as an asset class. It starts with, dare I say, gimmicky functionality like the basic ability to buy, sell and send crypto. Soon it will evolve into major financial institutions changing the mechanics of how their businesses work in order to cut costs through the adoption of blockchain tech and crypto."Dave has been working hard the past 3 years to find public companies that would benefit the most from this revolution, from the crypto mining hardware likeAdvanced Micro DevicesAMD to the payment players old and new including Square, PayPal, and Mastercard.And here's what Novogratz, whose Galaxy funds may hold over 16,000 BTC worth over $200 million, had to say on Twitter yesterday morning..."This PayPal news is the biggest news of the year in crypto. All banks will now be on a race to service crypto. We have crossed the rubicon people. Exciting day."What the Flip is the Flippening?In the video that accompanies this article, I once again take a look at the major holders of Bitcoin, including Galaxy Digital, MicroStrategy, and theGrayscale Bitcoin TrustGBTC. I also consider the idea that some day, maybe not too distantly,digital gold will exceed the value of physical gold.Some crypto authorities have coined that event as the "flippening." But with the market capitalization of the barbarous relic currently over $11 trillion, according to the World Gold Council, Bitcoin and other cryptos at less than $300 billion have a ways to go.In August, Anthony Pompliano stated on Twitter that he believes by the end of this decade, the market capitalization of Bitcoin will be higher than that of gold.According to a 8/15/20 article on CoinTelegraph.com, the Morgan Creek Digital co-founder’s tweet provoked a reply from Peter Schiff:“By 2029 you'll be lucky if the market cap of #Bitcoin still exceeds the market cap of a baseball cap.”This only led to Pompliano doubling down on his prediction. He responded to Schiff...“Think approximately a decade is rather conservative, so trying to account for many things that could possibly happen to slow growth.”I think it's inevitable too. And the great thing about this prediction is that even if it doesn't come true this decade, it's still easy to identify the larger trends in payments and the primacy of digital gold's best virtues: privacy, liberty, security, transparency, autonomy, speed and flexibility.For these values, BTC has already beaten GLD.Disclosure: I own NVDA, SQ, and AMD shares.

Today's Key News: ["Representatives of Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ: NDAQ ) and other major exchanges will meet with the Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Nov. 20 in Austin as they consider relocation of their trading platforms from New Jersey to Dallas, NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth reported Tuesday. What Happened: The meeting was reportedly\xa0spurred by a proposed “financial transaction” tax amounting to a quarter of a cent that New Jersey — the current host of the exchanges'\xa0data centers — wants to levy on the 10,000 or so transactions made through electronic infrastructure. The tax is estimated to\xa0generate $10 billion in revenue for the Garden State. The financial institutions will meet with Abbott under a grouping called “Coalition To Prevent The Taxing Of Retirement Savings.” A spokesperson for Abbott told NBC 5 DFW that the governor\xa0“looks forward to meeting with Nasdaq and showcasing Texas' business-friendly environment, skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and low taxes, all of which foster greater economic growth in the Lone Star State.” Why It Matters: The coalition comprises financial heavyweights like Nasdaq, CBOE Global Markets Inc. (BATS: CBOE ), Citadel Securities, Equinix, Inc (NASDAQ: EQIX ), UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS ), TD Ameritrade,\xa0and the owner of New York Stock Exchange — Intercontinental Exchange, Inc (NYSE: ICE ). A move to Texas would reportedly lessen Wall Street’s dependence on the East Coast and be a boost for the booming data center industry in North Texas which has attracted the likes of Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB ) to the Dallas-Fort Worth area due to renewable energy resources. Other states that have expressed interest in hosting the exchanges' data centers include Virginia, North Carolina, and Illinois, which have all held talks with Nasdaq, according to NBC 5 DFW. Price Action: Nasdaq Inc shares closed nearly 2% lower at $127.13 on Monday.

The Maker community had initially voted in early April to refund sunken investors. Nearly six months later and the community – represented by current holders of Maker’s MKR governance tokens – concluded a final vote to give zero compensation for lost funds. Some 65% of votes opted for zero compensation, with the next two options for partial compensation receiving 18% and 15%, respectively. The vote itself was dominated by large MKR holders. Only 38 unique votes were cast, equivalent to 8.74% of MKR token holders, with the low turnout reflecting some of the current difficulties associated with governance in the booming DeFi sector. Related: BitGo Is Bringing DeFi-Friendly Wrapped Bitcoin to the Tron Blockchain Stepping back, many Maker users had collateral positions for outstanding loans liquidated after a sudden, mid-March crash in the price of ether (ETH) . Additionally, investors were unable to maintain positions because of a backlog of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain as investors sought to flee the COVID-driven market collapse. The one-two punch was preyed upon by market making bots that exploited the flaw to the tune of 2.4 million ETH. Broken logic in the platform’s collateral liquidation engine could be exploited under the right conditions to gobble up collateral on the cheap.

All options included in Tuesday’s vote included MKR as the compensation vehicle. (Early on, affected investors had pushed for ETH.) Related: Uniswap Users Have Claimed $560M-Worth of UNI Tokens in a Week Yet, participating MKR holders were incentivized to vote against the compensation as any additional printing of MKR tokens would dilute the value of their holdings. Many community members said as much in the MakerDAO forum. Class action update Litigation against the Maker Foundation in the form of a class-action lawsuit continues regardless of the vote’s outcome, said Adam S. Heder, the Harris Berne Christensen LLP attorney representing MakerDAO’s Black Thursday investors. Lead plaintiff Pete Johnson filed three counts against the Maker Foundation in April including negligence, intentional misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation. He and joining members of the suit are seeking up to $28.35 million in compensation. Story continues “The parties have submitted briefing on the Maker Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration. We don’t know yet when the Court will issue its ruling,” Heder said via email. The Maker Foundation declined to comment.

Today's Key News: ['For many of the nation’s wealthiest women, it’s all in the family. Three are from the Cox family, which commands a vast media, telecom and automotive empire. Five owe their sweet fortunes to a candy company that humbly began in a Tacoma, Washington, kitchen in 1911. Another five hail fromthe Walton family and the Walmart mega-fortunebuilt on the strategy of bringing discount shopping to small and rural communities.\nHowever, not all of the women here were born with wealth. There’s a self-made billionaire who started with one gas station and now helps weary travelers refuel in 41 states. One used her computer programming smarts to build a $3.2 billion company. Another is a community college dropout whose marketing acumen turned Americans on to pomegranate juice. GOBankingRates took a look at the 2020 Forbes list of richest people to identify the 20 American women worth the most.\nLearn more about these well-heeled women here.\nLast updated: Nov. 11, 2020\nKatharine Rayner is the granddaughter of James M. Cox, who founded the Cox Enterprises media and automotive empire. Rayner inherited an estimated 17% stake in Cox Enterprises, along with her brother and sister.\nRayner does not play an active role in the company. Her late husband, William Rayner, was a travel writer, painter and former editorial business manager for Condé Nast. The garden of their East Hampton, New York, estate was featured in Vogue in 2016.\nJudy Faulkner, a computer programmer who founded medical record software provider Epic, is also No. 2 on Forbes’ 2020 list of America’s self-made women.

CEO Jack Dorsey calls bitcoin the most viable currency for the internet. Chamath Palihapitiyadiscussedbitcoin at theBenzinga Boot Camprecently. He invested $1 million in bitcoin in 2012 through a friend’s recommendation and later bought more after doing due diligence. Palihapitiya has since sold his bitcoin and now invests in the cryptocurrency through companies that own coins: “It’s easier to manage shares instead of individual coins or wallets,” he said. The move by Square has put bitcoin in the spotlight yet again. Below are three companies that own physical shares of bitcoins and are seeing gains Thursday. Riot Blockchain:The portfolio ofRiot Blockchain(NASDAQ:RIOT) isinvestedin companies associated with blockchain and also is a producer of bitcoins. The companyaimsto “be one of the largest and lowest-cost producers of bitcoin in North America.” In thefirst six monthsof fiscal 2020, Riot produced 508 new bitcoins. The company also saw its mining margin increase to 33.5% compared to 20.5% in the prior year. Riot is investing heavily in increasing mining capacity. The company has 1,000 next-generation miners scheduled for delivery in November. The company also has 8,000 more to be installed over the first four months of 2021. Riot has a current deployed hash rate capacity of 456 PH/s utilizing 16.3 MW of energy. By May 2021, the company will see these figures rise to 1,446 PH/s utilizing 46 MW of energy. Hive Blockchain Technologies:In the last fiscal year,Hive Blockchain Technologies(OTC:HVBTF) achieved profitability for the first time. The company assumed direct responsibility for cryptocurrency from a partner in a move to cut costs and help margins. Hive also shut down its cloud-mining operations for bitcoin in favor of a new method. “Today, with the assumption of full control of our operations completed, HIVE stands as one of the largest publicly listed cryptocurrency miners globally,” the company says. Hive acquired its own bitcoin mining operations in Canada and has been scaling the business through acquisitions and next-generation mining equipment. The last fiscal year saw Hive mine 2,051 bitcoin. The company began using next-generation mining equipment for bitcoin in May. Along with bitcoin, Hive is also a large player in the Ethereum cryptocurrency. In the last fiscal year, the company mined 71,660 Ethereum and 148,796 Ethereum Classic. MicroStrategy:The cloud business ofMicroStrategy Inc(NASDAQ:MSTR) is declining, but the company is making news for its investment in bitcoins. CEO Michael Saylor believes bitcoins are superior to cash and gold. The company decided to spend its $500 million in cash on share buybacks and investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin “is a dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash,” Saylor said. Saylor also foreshadowed a move like Square made Thursday predicting, “it will probably be private companies first, then public companies our size, then mid-sized companies.” Through investments in August and September, MicroStrategy bought 38,250 bitcoin, spending $425 million on the currency. The average price is $11,111 for the bitcoin purchased. The company plans on buying bitcoin with its cash from operations. Benzinga’s Take:Coindesk reports that Fidelity, Schwab and Vanguard have all increased their holdings in Riot and Hive. Schwab owns $52,000 of Riot Blockchain stock. Vanguard has $2.1 million invested in Riot Blockchain. Fidelity has $230,000 invested in Riot Blockchain and $1 million in Hive Blockchain. These three stocks offer a way for investors to get exposure to bitcoin without having to open a wallet or a cryptocurrency account. All three are small-cap stocks and could have high risk/high reward based on the valuation of bitcoin.

What Happened: The negotiations are reportedly centered around supplying the vaccine in the first quarter of 2021. “We are working strongly with the Brazilian government to try to fast-track the availability (of the vaccine) in Brazil as fast as possible,” Carlos Murillo, the head of Pfizer in Brazil said in an online event, as per Reuters. Pfizer’s vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degrees Celsius (-94 degrees Fahrenheit), which could pose a challenge in developing countries, where maintaining a storage chain is an obstacle. Why It Matters: Pfizer and BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX ) reported this month that their\xa0mRNA\xa0vaccine candidate showed 90% effectiveness in preventing COVID-19 in\xa0a large-scale Phase 3 study, based on interim data. The high efficacy shown by the drugmaker sets a high bar for others such as Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA ) working on an mRNA vaccine. Murillo disclosed that the New York-based drugmaker had developed a way to keep the vaccine in good condition using only dry ice, noted Reuters.

DeFi’s total value locked hit a lifetime high. Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio said yesterday he isn’t keen on bitcoin; a few hours later, the cryptocurrency hit a three-year high. Top shelf Cannot dai Dai (DAI), MakerDAO’s dollar-pegged algorithmic stablecoin, reached a $1 billion market capitalization on Wednesday. While there are only 993 million DAI in circulation, its skewed peg of $1.01 has brought it above the milestone metric. “[I]t works, is here to stay, and is the honey badger of Ethereum,” Compound’s Robert Leshner said. About a third of all dai is in the DAI Savings Rate (DSR) smart contract, with most of the remainder (over 620 million,) locked in its ERC-20 smart contract, CoinDesk’s Brady Dale reports. The move comes as the DeFi ecosystem in aggregate passed a new lifetime high of $13.62 billion. Forfeited funds Chainalysis, in conjunction with confiscated asset consultancy Asset Reality, unveiled a program for storing and selling forfeited crypto . Announced Thursday, the program is targeted towards government clients, many of which rely on Chainalysis’ blockchain sleuthing technology to trace illicit funds. While no clients have been announced, in April, the U.S. Marshals Service, which runs semi-regular forfeiture auctions, said it was looking for a private-sector partner to help it manage and dispose of forfeited cryptocurrency. Related: First Mover: Why the Fed Cares About Remote Working – And What It Means for Bitcoin Dalio’s dictates Founder of the world’s largest hedge fund Ray Dalio said governments will seek to “outlaw” bitcoin if it becomes “material.” Plodding well-worn territory, Dalio said bitcoin may not even get there due to its volatility and lack of commercial appeal. “I today can’t take my bitcoin yet and buy things easily with it,” he said. Still, governments may “use whatever teeth they have” to break bitcoin’s back, if it becomes necessary, he said. Story continues Staking play Crypto trading firm DARMA Capital unveiled a service to provide Eth 2.0 stakers with liquidity through USDC stablecoin loans. Called, perhaps unimaginatively, LiquidStake, the service will allow users to continue earning interest provided by the Eth 2.0 experiment (which will not allow stakers to recall their assets once pledged) while also using this stake as collateral on a cash-equivalent loan. While other loan providers are testing similar services, DARMA’s has received the backing of the Ethereum establishment, including involvement from ConsenSys, Bison Trails, Figment, OpenLaw and Filecoin.

Approximately $2.8 billion was stolen through 113 security breaches, with a concentration of hacks taking place in the U.S., Japan, U.K., China and South Korea. Another $4.8 billion was stolen through scams, with Crystal Blockchain identifying 23 prominent fraud schemes. Noting the the number of hacks and scams seems to be holding steady, malicious actors are growing more sophisticated.

Investors still predict a consolidation between $14,000 to $16,000 before any potential retest of all-time highs of $20,000. “The interest so far in 2020 has been primarily from institutions and we could see more retail participation when bitcoin breaks its previous all-time highs of $20,000,” Kyle Davies, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, said.

According to Coin Metrics, 98% of UTXOs are worth more today than the time of creation, a level last seen in December 2017. UTXOs are the value left over after a bitcoin transaction, similar to receiving change after paying cash. So what does it mean for bitcoin’s price? Well, Coin Metric analysts said traders might be encouraged to sell and take their profits, or continue holding, given there’s “ a low risk of capitulation.” At stake Bitcoin in Venezuela Venezuela continues to dominate peer-to-peer crypto activity . According to data reviewed by CoinDesk research analyst Duy Nguyen, in GDP-adjusted terms, the South American nation’s P2P bitcoin market is at least twice as high as the next-largest market, Nigeria. Activity on prominent P2P crypto exchanges LocalBitcoins and Paxful peaked in the first half of 2019, but has since hovered around $20 million. Experts point to a range of factors to explain the successful test case of Venezuelan crypto use: including the nation’s riotous inflation, capital controls and remittance markets, U.S.-led sanctions and the Maduro regime’s experiment with a crypto-backed petro dollar. The International Monetary Fund measured Venezuelan hyperinflation at 65,374% in 2018, leagues above any other economy. (Zimbabwe, for instance, is projected to run hot at 319% in 2020, though government bans mean P2P BTC trading is near-zero.) Among the 10 economies that have experienced the highest rates of annual inflation since 2017, only Venezuela, Argentina and Iran have shown significant peer-to-peer bitcoin market activity, Nguyen reports. While macro-level indicators do much to explain a “deflationary” currency like bitcoin’s appeal, significant on the ground factors are at play. Gabriel Jiménez, a Venezuelan blockchain entrepreneur who led the development of the petro, said Venezuelan businesses often use bitcoin as a medium to obtain foreign currencies like the dollar. “People living in Venezuela are living under a very unstable and predatory government. They suffer from extreme inflation and general economic instability. And here’s a censorship-resistant, inflation-proof asset, so it’s very attractive to people who are looking for a way to maintain value,” Andrea O’Sullivan, director of tech and innovation at James Madison Institute, told Nguyen.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.54% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.08% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $16,057.0. It was a bearish day. Bitcoin slid from an early morning intraday high $16,315.0 to a late afternoon intraday low $15,715.0. The extended sell-off saw Bitcoin slide through the first major support level at $15,743 and the second major support level at $15,429. Finding support late in the day Bitcoin broke back through the support levels to wrap up the day at $16,000 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $16,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $8,768 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Ripple’s XRP rose by 0.98% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however, which joined Bitcoin in the red. Crypto.com Coin (-3.16%) Litecoin (-3.27%), and Ethereum (-3.35%) led the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.70%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.17%), Cardano’s ADA (-2.28%), and Chainlink (-2.29%) also struggled. Binance Coin (-0.93%) and Polkadot (-0.17%) saw relatively modest losses. For the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $421.37bn before rising to a Friday high $471.06bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $455.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Tuesday low 64.22% before rising to a Friday high 65.99%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 65.10%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.55% to $15,969.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $16,099.6 before falling to a low $15,925.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.22%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.26%), Chainlink (-0.47%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.89%), Ethereum (-0.06%), and Litecoin (-0.52%) joined Bitcoin in the red. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up by 3.07% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $16,029 to bring the first major resistance level at $16,343 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $16,315.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $16,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $16,629. Failure to move back through the $16,029 pivot would bring the first major support level at $15,743 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$15,500 levels. The second major support level sits at $15,429.

The “Mill Girls” of Lowell, Mass., made up 75% of all textile workers in the U.S. In the 1830s, they took jobs to put their brothers through college and feed their families. These young women, starting to work at age 15, were the fabric of their community’s economic production. It was the close-knit nature of their sisterhood that became what we now know as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the AFL-CIO.\nLabor has traditionally organized people in a common cause like union representation. Most of us have had to sell our labor for capital that someone else owns, giving us an incentive to work for common workplace standards. But that traditional labor-for-capital model has been joined by another driver of economic activity. Now our data is the labor that drives capital creation and distribution. And it’s time for us to take back what our communities are owed.\nJames Felton Keith is the author of “Inclusionism,” founding president of the Data Union, and advisory board member at the Streamr Network.\nRelated:Why Bitcoin Thrives (and Why It Won't Replace the Dollar)\nThe Lowell organizing efforts were notable not only for the “unfeminine” participation of women, but also for the political framework used to appeal to the public. They warned that “the oppressing hand of avarice would enslave us.” They used this sentiment in an 1836 strike song.\nOh! isn’t it a pity, such a pretty girl as I\nShould be sent to the factory to pine away and die?\nOh! I cannot be a slave, I will not be a slave,\nRelated:Crypto Execs Need Liability Insurance\nFor I’m so fond of liberty,\nThat I cannot be a slave.\nIn the modern era newspapers, NGOs and government officials from every continent are asking, “Are we slaves to big data?” Unlike the community of mill women, we’re not organizing for wages, not alone, we’re organizing for income based on the value of our community-of-participants. The thread of our data is the seminal input to every company’s productivity.\nLast week, I received a leaked copy of the forthcoming EuropeanData Governance Act(DGA). We anticipate some form of this legislation to pass the European Parliament in the March 2021 time frame. The legislation mentions “data unions” explicitly in sections 26 and 27.\n(26) An emerging variant are data cooperatives or data unions that seek to achieve a number of objectives…\n(27) …data cooperatives as intermediaries between data subjects and potential data users in the economy\nData unions (or cooperatives or collectives or communities) are a relatively new-old concept for a new natural resource: personal data.

Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $11,537 as of 20:00 UTC (4 p.m. ET). Gaining 1.5% over the previous 24 hours. Bitcoin’s 24-hour range: $11,249-$11,543 BTC above its 10-day and 50-day moving averages, a bullish signal for market technicians. Bitcoin’s price is on the rise Thursday, moving from a mostly flat trend to hit as high as $11,543 on spot exchanges such as Bitstamp. It was changing hands at $11,537 as of press time. The move upward arrives as the world’s oldest cryptocurrency has struggled to stay above $11,500 since Oct. 13. Andrew Tu, an executive at trading firm Efficient Frontier, said this phenomenon, often known as “resistance” where traders take profits, creates sell momentum and holds back bitcoin from pushing higher. Related: Bitcoin Price Dips 3% on OKEx News, Analysts Aren't Too Worried “There is significant resistance past $11,400,” Tu told CoinDesk. “It may be that we fail to stay above $11,500 and begin to range from $10,500-$11,400.” With the exception of a quick bounce to as high as $11,730 on Oct. 13, bitcoin has been in $11,400-$11,500 territory most of the past week. “Looking back at 2020 so far, bitcoin is on a nice and steady walk upwards,” said Henrik Kugelberg, an over-the-counter crypto trader based in Sweden. “It is very fortunate that we have bitcoin to look at when most other macro things look gloomy, to say the least.” Read More: World’s Growing Stockpile of Negative-Yielding Debt a Positive for Bitcoin BItcoin is trouncing traditional investment hedges such as gold and even silver.

Related: Is Crypto Converging With Public Markets? “There will always be plunges, bull runs and plateaus with bitcoin,” Kugelberg added. “But I am confident we have not seen all the effects of the amazing developments in and around bitcoin.” One of these developments has been the increasing number of publicly traded companies holding some bitcoin as a reserve asset, something Kugelberg sees as a bullish driver. Story continues Efficient Frontier’s Tu sees significant upside if bitcoin can get over the $12,000 price point. “If we do successfully break $12,000 we could see BTC sharply rise, as there are few historical resistance lines past this point,” he added.

Vishal Shah, a crypto options trader and founder of derivatives exchange Alpha5, says the earlier open interest spike can be attributed to the decentralized finance, or DeFi, frenzy. “The way I look at that chart is by extracting out the mid-July to mid-September open interest change. That was the DeFi effect,” Shah said. “Now we are mostly tracking broader industry growth with some elements around Ethereum 2.0 keeping hopes high.” Other markets Digital assets on the CoinDesk 20 are mixed, mostly red Thursday.

In what is being one of the most polarising elections in US history, president Donald Trump will take on Democrat hopeful Joe Biden on November 3. A negative reaction to the result in traditional markets will increase demand for safe haven assets like gold and Bitcoin, although it must be stated that Bitcoin has shown signs of correlation with the stock market in 2020. Andrew Maguire, precious metals specialist at Kinesis , said: “Potential outcomes of the upcoming US elections are driving safe-haven demand. Uncertainty around factors such as candidates’ regulatory and tax policies could spark negative reactions from traditional market players, driving more investors towards gold and silver.

Don’t get trapped #SPX #GOLD #SILVER https://t.co/NadJ98Epeb — Ravi (@BullvsBears) October 19, 2020 “Elsewhere, market volatility has been exacerbated recently when President Trump tested positive for COVID-19. With the gold price rising following the black swan event, we expect gold to gain strength amid such uncertainty.” Both Trump and Biden have remained fairly impartial and diplomatic on the topic of cryptocurrencies, but with increased attention surrounding global CBDCs and institutional inflow into Bitcoin, the two candidates may be forced into taking a strategic approach next term. At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading 191.22% higher than its yearly low at $11,672, while gold is forming a bullish pennant at $1,909, which was its previous all-time high dating back to 2011.

Anyways, I landed a good job in 2019 after years of grinding and around the same time stumbled into a small sum of money (literally massive amount to me but small comparitively.) I started researching btc again because the gains caught my eye but the tech and ideology made a believer out of me. Anyways covid hit and btc dumped to around 4k and I committed as big as I could. I had to cash some out recently (don't trip im still holding id never sell it all lol) to buy my girlfriend of five years a ring. We've been together almost five years and has had my back on everything thick and thin. She used to help me out when I didn't have enough to pay the bills, and thanks to bitcoin I was finally able to afford to give her a ring that she absolutely loves. On top of that, btc has also given me the ability to buy that ring, and still be financially stable!

Today's Key News: ['Twitter has named a new head of security a few months after the website had to deal with the Bitcoin hack that compromised a number of high-profile accounts. The company hired Peiter Zatko, more widely known by his hacker name “Mudge,” to lead its security efforts. According to CNBC , he’s expected to take over after a 45- to 60-day review of the platform’s current measures and practices, and he’ll report directly to CEO Jack Dorsey. Mudge used to work on security research for Google’s Advanced Technologies and Projects Group. Before that, he worked for DARPA where he oversaw several programs, including one focused on detecting cyber espionage. He also created the framework that the Defense Department used to research areas and investments to pursue when it comes to cybersecurity. More recently, he served as head of security at electronic payments service Stripe. Looks like the cat is out of the bag. I’m very excited to be joining the executive team at Twitter! I truly believe in the mission of (equitably) serving the public conversation. I will do my best! https://t.co/ZQkhYTXLQZ — Mudge (@dotMudge) November 16, 2020 In an interview with CNBC , Mudge said he will examine Twitter’s "information security, site integrity, physical security, platform integrity -- which starts to touch on abuse and manipulation of the platform -- and engineering." Based on the additional details he told the news organization, he’ll also work on improving public conversations on Twitter and will be implementing some unconventional security approaches. He said he appreciates Twitter’s openness to his unusual methods, including his proposal to confuse bad actors by manipulating the data they may get from the platform on how users interact with posts. Twitter suffered a massive breach last July that saw hackers take over some of the most prominent accounts on the website, including Barack Obama’s, Joe Biden’s, Elon Musk’s, Bill Gates’, Uber’s, Apple’s and Kanye West’s. The attackers then posted a call for Bitcoin donations using the accounts they hijacked. According to the company, the hackers targeted some of its employees with access to its internal systems and tools and used social engineering to gain entry with their credentials. The 17—year—old from Tampa that was eventually arrested for the attack previously got caught for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoins. Former Facebook chief security officer Alex Stamos told CNBC that “the data breach this summer was an important reminder of how far Twitter needs to go in building some of the basic security functions necessary to run a service targeted by adversaries much more skilled than the teenagers arrested for that incident.” He also said that Mudge is perfect for the role, seeing as Twitter doesn’t have the money bigger companies like Google do and needs to “find creative solutions to these problems” This article contains affiliate links; if you click such a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.

Bitcoin prices had surged from under $2,000 in July 2017 to nearly $20,000. The world was introduced to the crypto millionaire, the millennial nerd who rolled the dice on Bitcoin early and now roamed the streets in a Lamborghini. Everybody wanted in on the action, but when the bubble burst, the carnage lined the streets. You don't have to have a gambler’s risk tolerance or be a cryptocurrency expert to profit from the boom in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and others. You don't even have to believe in the long-term sustainability of any of these coins. You just have to recognize the game and figure out a way to profit from the underlying technology. That underlying technology, which powers every cryptocurrency on Earth, is the blockchain. If you've been paying attention to the headlines, you'll see that central banks and major retail banks alike have changed their tune about cryptocurrencies. Initially, they scoffed and called them irrelevant. But recently, the discussion has shifted and now they are acknowledging the threat cryptocurrencies cause to their businesses. What they're really saying is that blockchain is revolutionizing the way we account for data. It has already been several months since Facebook proposed Libra coin. PayPal’s recent announcement giving customers the ability to buy and sell crypto is the latest big crypto news from a publicly traded company. This only adds to the legitimization of cryptocurrency as an asset class. Nowadays, crypto is not a pie-in-the-sky idea, it’s a major financial asset which poses a significant threat to traditional payments businesses. What is the Blockchain? In the digital world, a block is a digital list of records, acting as a ledger that can contain information of any kind. When these blocks are linked together, they are secured by cryptography to form the blockchain. This blockchain is an unforgeable record of all the transactions that is replicated on every computer on the network. If information in a new block can't be verified by all the other blocks in the chain, it is discarded. In the case of the top cryptocurrencies, a currency's network consists of millions and millions of computers all over the world. This makes it unhackable, as a hacker would need to hack all that computing power simultaneously, a seemingly impossible task. Continued . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10X Bigger Than the Internet Zacks targets big gains from the innovative businesses behind blockchain – the emerging "Internet of Money." As this technology grows an estimated +1,300% by 2023, shareholders in these companies could make life-changing gains without speculating on volatile cryptocurrencies. According to government sources, blockchain technology is "10 times more valuable than the internet." And just like the early days of internet stocks, the profit potential is tremendous. This is your chance to see our top picks to tap this phenomenon. See our blockchain stocks now >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I already know I've lost some people, but please stay with me. At this point the question within this topic is typically: What does blockchain have to do with currency? Everything. But to understand we have to separate our thought of cryptos from traditional fiat currency. While fiat currency is used to buy cryptocurrency, once bought, cryptos stand on their own. In addition, the smart contract (more on this later) aspect allows cryptos to be much more than an exchange of cash, they are an exchange of value. In a sense, these currencies are the "Internet of Value". To simplify, the blockchain is a public registry of assets and transactions that tells us who owns what. These transactions are often referred to as smart contracts, as they are recording a contract between two people, whether it be a transfer of currency, or a good or service. You can see how this new innovation could be disruptive to traditional businesses out there. Rather than lament this potential disruption, you are in the unique position to profit from it. How you ask? By investing in the various areas of the market where the blockchain is making noise. There are several different angles here. The "Picks and Axes": During the gold rush, the ones who really got rich were the ones selling the picks and axes. That is, the companies which provided the tools for the speculators to go out and try to find their fortunes. In the cryptocurrency world, this refers to the companies which make the chips and hardware used for mining operations. Consulting: There will be a wave of companies looking for ways to incorporate blockchain technology into their existing businesses. Already, large consulting companies are beginning to offer services helping companies to integrate the new tech. Cloud Infrastructure: No other industry has been as dependent on the cloud for its development as blockchain has. The need to distribute a ledger across the world, with no centralized ownership or authority overseeing transactions plays into the strengths of the cloud. Companies which offer cloud-based hosting may suffer, while those which help facilitate this decentralized network will benefit greatly. Payment Processing: Among the most disruptive industries for blockchain is payment processing. Rather than your traditional financial intermediary, blockchain technology allows for a distributed, open, public ledger where transactions are confirmed by other nodes in the chain for a fee that's much smaller than your typical fees coming from more traditional processors. Lending: We are just at the tip of the iceberg here on lending. Blockchain tech is perfect for lending, allowing lenders to spread their risk across thousands of loans in an instant, no matter the size of the lender. Trading Floors: The legitimization of bitcoin continues as futures contracts have started trading on two large exchanges in the US. Miners: The miners are the most important part of any blockchain and likely the most misunderstood. Miners confirm transactions from node to node by solving the cryptographic problem and are then rewarded in units of the cryptocurrency. Already we are seeing companies which "mine" cryptocurrency publicly traded. These companies mine the currency then immediately sell them on the open market and pass through the gains to shareholders. Think of them as you would a pipeline company in the energy sector. These companies are small now but could become much larger in time. Investors/BDC: Some publicly traded companies are acting as incubators for other budding cryptocurrencies. We talk bitcoin a lot but there are over 1,300 other cryptocurrencies in the world. These investors and business development companies invest in promising crypto companies before they hit the mainstream. ETFs: Already there are ETFs which buy stocks with blockchain exposure, however, soon there will be officially regulated ETFs for bitcoin and Ethereum. These ETFs will move dollar for dollar with an index, not trade at huge premiums to the underlying cryptocurrency like the ones available on the market today. There are many more companies on the way but how will you know how to separate the pretenders from the contenders? Which of these emerging companies will be built on solid technology and which will be gimmicks? Just like the Dot Com Bubble brought with it several names which added ".com" to their names to get in on the action, companies are adding "Blockchain" to their names, some in a very unscrupulous fashion. Bottom Line There are several ways to play the cryptocurrency boom without exposing yourself to the same downside volatility. By spreading your investment across several aspects of the blockchain, diversification can help smooth your returns.

Traditional investors have long wondered how to value bitcoin. Few have made headway: unlike stocks or commodities, cryptocurrencies have no earnings estimates or growth projections for investors to lean on. So, what drives bitcoin price? The answer may surprise investors because of what’s not included: gold and bitcoin mining supply. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Instead, bitcoin prices are controlled by three critical demand-side factors: Cryptocurrency demand Risk-taking appetite Technical factors Armed with the facts, we’ll examine how these factors will drive prices in 2021. And if you want to learn more about investing in bitcoin, learn more in my Ultimate Guide to Bitcoin . Why Bitcoin? Firstly, why should investors even consider bitcoin? Simple. $10,000 invested in bitcoin in 2015 would have turned to over $430,000 today. And more gains could still come. 7 Hot Food Stocks to Buy for Tasty Returns Bitcoin is now the world’s sixth-largest currency . It’s more widely circulated than the British pound and has a trading velocity six times the U.S. dollar . Bitcoin is also the primary currency of cryptocurrency developers, an essential step to getting venture capital (VC) dollars and attention . BTC Market Share on CoinMarketCap Source: Chart by InvestorPlace, Data courtesy of CoinMarketCap Bitcoin makes up the largest share of all crytocurrencies Now onto valuing bitcoin What Drives Bitcoin Price? Not fundamental valuations… Traditional investors have often tried to develop an “intrinsic value” of bitcoin by analyzing its supply. But that method misses one key fact: bitcoin’s supply remains relatively fixed because of its underlying code. The blockchain caps the maximum number of coins to 21 million. And a self-adjusting difficulty function means cryptocurrency miners have little effect on the speed of mining, unlike in gold or other producible commodities. BTC - Mining Difficulty Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Blockchain Charts Story continues So what drives bitcoin prices in the short-term? Driver 1: Cryptocurrency Demand What assets are bitcoin returns most correlated to? Other cryptocurrencies. Even though the three top cryptocurrencies (bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP)) run on fundamentally different technologies, correlations between them have jumped since 2017. Today, bitcoin has a 0.9 correlation with both Ethereum and XRP, meaning they move together 90% of the time. BTC - Graph of XRP ETH and Bitcoin Price Correlations Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Yahoo Finance Cryptocurrency correlations have risen over time Essentially, investors have started to view cryptocurrencies as a single asset class . Technology has undoubtedly played a helping hand. Gone are the days of setting up individual wallets for each currency. Coinbase and Robinhood , two major U.S. cryptocurrency platforms, now offer side-by-side comparisons of various coins. Investors can also easily buy index-linked products . Driver 2: Risk-taking appetite What about comparisons to gold? Do investors also see bitcoin as an inflation hedge and a safe-haven asset class? The data says “no.” Bitcoin returns are only 9% correlated with gold, a positive but relatively insignificant amount. Instead, the cryptocurrency has far more in common with risky assets. S&P 500: 22% correlation Junk Bonds: 19% correlation VIX (S&P volatility): -16% correlation (i.e., bitcoin prices decrease in volatile markets) So, contrary to common beliefs, bitcoin doesn’t act as a safe-haven asset. Instead, it does the opposite: its value tends to go up in confident bull markets and fall in fearful bearish ones. BTC - Graph of SNP and Bitcoin Price Returns Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Yahoo Finance Driver 3: Technical Factors Technical analysis requires less efficient markets to work. A study by the U.S. Federal Reserve found that technical analysis in the foreign exchange market worked during the 1970s and ’80s, but declined in the ’90s as information flows improved . Fortunately for cryptocurrency investors, BTC today still resembles the inefficient systems of the 1970s. Bitcoin trades on multiple disconnected exchanges, making it difficult to determine its exact price at any given moment. And investors still routinely accuse market makers of manipulating prices . These factors make trend-following an essential tool in tracking the self-reinforcing prophecies of bitcoin price. That’s meant technical strategies have worked on bitcoin . Below is a graph of RSI-14, a standard mean-reversion indicator. BTC - RSI Buy-Sell Signals Graph of Bitcoin Price Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Yahoo Finance RSI-14 has performed well in tracking BTC buy and sell points An investor using these indicators would have generated 15% higher returns than buy-and-hold while invested just 40% of the time. A more aggressive approach would have pushed returns even higher. How to Invest in Bitcoin for 2021 Bitcoin’s three key drivers mean one thing for 2021: bitcoin prices will depend on the economy. Fast-improving economy. Cryptocurrency demand increases, risk-taking up, technical factors positive. Bitcoin rises to $15,000 – $20,000. Slowing economy. Lower cryptocurrency demand, flight to safety, negative technical factors. Bitcoin falls to RSI resistance levels of $5,800 – $9,000 Which path with bitcoin take? In an August research note, Goldman Sachs’ Global Research team struck an upbeat tone for the 2021 economy. “We now expect that at least one vaccine will be approved by the end of 2020 and will be widely distributed by the end of 2021Q2,” Goldman Sachs economist Joseph Briggs wrote . “We have incorporated this timeline as our baseline forecast, and now assume consumer services spending accelerates in the first half of 2021 as consumers resume activities that would previously have exposed them to Covid-19 risk.” If these expectations play out, bitcoin investors will see good times ahead. But if the economy suddenly grinds to a halt, then bitcoin price will certainly fall. Bitcoin Price Beyond 2021 As trading matures, technical factors will eventually take a backseat in determining bitcoin price. In their place, fundamental factors will start to take over: matters such as transaction fees, forks, user adoption, and the general demand for cryptocurrencies. My colleagues at InvestorPlace have a friendly bet: which will reach 40,000 first: bitcoin or the Dow Jones? And either could be right. But for 2021, how to invest in bitcoin remains clear. As political consultant James Carville once said, “it’s the economy, stupid.” On the date of publication, Tom Yeung did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['By Tom Wilson and Anna Irrera\nLONDON (Reuters) - With bitcoin surging to the cusp of its 2017 all-time high, backers are hoping fewer frenzied retail investors means less chance of a crash this time around.\nBut with little mainstream usage as a form of payment and global uncertainty clouding financial markets, bitcoin is still far from a safe bet, analysts said.\n"There are a lot of differences to what was happening before," said Larry Cermak, director of research at cryptocurrency media firm The Block.\n"The price has steadily increased, we are seeing very little retail participation and markets are much more liquid and much more accessible to institutional participants. For now, though, it\'s definitely not a safe investment, it\'s still very risky."\nBitcoin broke $18,000 (£13,549) on Wednesday to hit its highest since Dec. 2017, having soared about 160% this year.\nThe steep trajectory of its 2020 rally echoes that of 2017, when a retail-led buying spree pushed it to nearly $20,000, only to crash more than 50% a month later.\nUnlike 2017, however, the asset now boasts a functioning derivatives market and custody services by established financial institutions.\nThe value of open interest bitcoin futures at CME Group Inc crossed $1 billion this week for the first time since their launch in Dec. 2017, while positions across major options markets have grown to over $4 billion from virtually nothing in early 2019, according to crypto data provider Skew.\nMeanwhile large firms including Fidelity Investments and Japan\'s Nomura Holdings Inc have starting safeguarding bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies for institutional investors.\n"There\'s absolutely no comparison in terms of market maturity between this year and 2017," said Ryan Selkis, CEO of crypto data firm Messari. "Back then derivatives and credit markets barely existed (and) institutional custody didn\'t exist."\nThe emergence of this kind of infrastructure has made it easier for professional investors from hedge funds to family offices to seek exposure to crypto.\n"The accessibility has changed from three years ago so the types of players that are willing to go in has broadened," said Tim Swanson, head of market intelligence at blockchain software firm Clearmatics.\nTheir involvement, the argument goes, may lead to more liquidity and less volatility in prices.\nRegulation has also developed. While the cryptocurrency sector is still mostly lightly overseen or unregulated, global standards on areas such as anti-money laundering (AML) have emerged, opening the way for bigger investors.\nMainstream companies and governments are among those embracing digital coin technology.\nLast month, PayPal Holdings Inc said it would open up its platform to cryptocurrencies while rival Square Inc said it had invested 1% of its total assets in bitcoin.\nUnlike 2017, bitcoin\'s price has been supported by an appetite for riskier assets following government and central bank stimulus measures to combat the impact of COVID-19.\nBitcoin\'s supply is capped at 21 million, shielding it from policies that stoke inflation, proponents say.\nThe narrative has allowed "a wider group of investors, including those with a more fundamental mindset, to participate in price setting," said Richard Galvin of crypto fund Digital Asset Capital Management.\nYet for all the improvements in market structure and mainstream recognition, bitcoin remains highly volatile. The cryptocurrency sector is still more opaque and less regulated than mainstream financial markets. Trading data remains patchy and concerns over market manipulation are rife.\n"Long story short, it\'s still a risky market and a risky asset," said Colin Platt, a cryptocurrency consultant.\nAnd for all the hype, bitcoin remains seldom used for its intended purpose.\n"There is no guarantee that it will be used widely as \'money\' given the cost of mining and using bitcoins and the ease of using contactless payment cards or smartphones to facilitate electronic payment," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.\n(Reporting by Tom Wilson and Anna Irrera;Editing by Elaine Hardcastle)', 'Chipotle Mexican Grill is giving away $10,000 to anyone who can prove their go-to order is the best.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.25% on Thursday. Following on from a 0.56% gain on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $17,818.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $18,044.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $17,344.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $17,112, Bitcoin climbed to a mid-afternoon intraday high $18,166.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,443, however, Bitcoin slipped back to end the day at sub-$18,000. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $18,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,520 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.14%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.45%), Ethereum (-1.48%), and saw red on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Litecoin surged by 11.09% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.17%), Chainlink (+0.40%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.89%), Polkadot (+1.52%), and Ripple’s XRP (+3.42%) also joined Bitcoin in the green. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $445.47bn to a Wednesday high $514.87bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $493.44bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 65.43% before rising to a Wednesday high 67.46%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 67.12%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.08% to $17,833,0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $17,797.0 before rising to a high $17,934.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (-0.15%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.45%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.54%) struggled early on. Story continues It was a bullish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.07%) and Litecoin (+1.52%) led the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $17,776 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,208 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $18,166.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,598. Failure to avoid a fall through the $17,776 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,386 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$17,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $16,954.

The founder, who also goes by Star, said the investee was the target of a “complicated” legal case, without elaborating. Shares in listed affiliate OKG Technology Holdings Ltd. soared as much as 23% Friday in Hong Kong.\nThe well-known entrepreneur sent his message hours after OKEx announced it’s going to permit withdrawals of digital assets on or before Nov. 27. The Malta-based company halted withdrawals on Oct. 16 after an unidentified staffer with access to users’ accounts went incommunicado while cooperating with a police investigation, the exchange said at the time. OKG, in which Xu owns a controlling stake, said days later he was under probe by Chinese police.\n“The authorities have clarified the matter and proved me innocent,” Xu wrote Friday on his WeChat feed, which is visible only to select users. “In coming days, I’ll call on everyone who supported OK Group to express my gratitude.”\nRead more: Chinese Police Probe Halts Withdrawals at Crypto Giant OKEx\nIt’s unclear what deal Xu was referring to. OKG, which secured a backdoor listing in Hong Kong last year, has said the group wasn’t subject to any government probe. A representative with the OK Group confirmed Xu’s WeChat post but declined to comment on the investigation or the merger. An OKEx spokeswoman declined to comment on Xu, saying OKEx is a separate entity from the OK Group.\n“The issue that triggered OKEx to deploy the extraordinary security measure has since been resolved,” OKEx said in a Thursday statement. “All user funds can be withdrawn without restriction after withdrawals are reopened.”\nRead more: Frozen OKEx Crypto Traders Can Cash Out, But Would Pay a Price\nXu launched OKEx’s predecessor, OKCoin, in 2013 but later moved away from the exchange business, instead focusing on blockchain venture OK Group. Originally from China, the startup moved its base to Malta after Beijing started to crack down on crypto trading. In the days after OKEx suspended withdrawals, it also halted over-the-counter fiat-to-crypto trading on its platform -- a vehicle that has been under Chinese regulatory scrutiny.\nOKEx saw $4 billion of crypto spot trading on its platform over the past 24 hours, ranking fifth among the world’s largest digital asset exchanges, according to CoinMarketCap. Though volume data in crypto are often seen as suspect, OKEx is generally regarded as one of the most active crypto exchanges.\nFor more articles like this, please visit us atbloomberg.com\nSubscribe nowto stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.\n©2020 Bloomberg L.P.', '(Bloomberg) -- The founder of one of the world\x92s largest Bitcoin exchanges broke a month-long silence to proclaim his innocence Friday, making his first comments since a Chinese police probe forced OKEx to briefly suspend withdrawals of all cryptocurrency assets.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, ended the day flat at $18,660.0 on Saturday. On Friday, Bitcoin had rallied by 4.73%. It was a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin rallied to an early morning intraday high and new swing hi $18,945.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $19,062, Bitcoin fell to a mid-day intraday low $18,323.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $18005, Bitcoin briefly revisited $18,800 levels before easing back. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $18,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,709 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Saturday. Ripple’s XRP surged by a whopping 39.95% to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+16.00%), Cardano’s ADA (+12.69%), Chainlink (+9.81%), Ethereum (+8.35%), Polkadot (+10.33%), and Ripple’s XRP (+8.74%) also made strong gains. Binance Coin (+5.23%), Crypto.com Coin (+0.55%), Litecoin (+5.43%), trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $445.47bn to a Saturday high $544.20bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $529.35bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Wednesday high 67.46% before sliding to an early Sunday low of 64.32%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.95%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.95% to $18,482.0.

Elsewhere, it was a bearish start to the day. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 5.45% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $18,643 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,962 into play. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $18,900 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $19,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $19,265. Failure to move back through the $18,643 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,340 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$18,000 levels. The second major support level at $18,021 should limit any downside.

As of Wednesday, the mean fee per transaction, or the average transaction cost, was 0.00086764 BTC , the highest since June 2018, according to data source Glassnode . In dollar terms, the average transaction fee was $11.66. Average fees in bitcoin terms have increased by 573% in the past 12 days alongside the cryptocurrencys price rally from $11,200 to $13,800. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Heads for 24% October Gain as US Election Countdown Begins Bitcoin mempool [memory pool] is back in focus in the wake of rising transaction volumes, causing congestion in the network and consequently driving fees higher, Denis Vinokourov, head of research at the London-based prime brokerage Bequant, told CoinDesk. Mempool is the collection of unconfirmed transactions. When bitcoin transactions are executed, they are first sent to the mempool, where they wait for approval by miners. Bitcoin miners can process only 1 megabyte (MB) worth of transactions per block mined roughly every 10 minutes. When the blockchain experiences a rise in traffic, it causes delays and a backlog of transactions. As demand outstrips supply, miners increase their revenue by prioritizing transactions with higher fees. That, in turn, forces other users to offer higher fees to avoid long waiting times. Network congestion is usually seen during price rallies. As noted earlier, bitcoin has chalked out a significant rise over the past 12 days. During that time frame, network congestion, as measured by the total number of unconfirmed transactions in the mempool, worsened by 1,800%. Related: Bitcoin Traders Can Now Bet on $40K Price With New Deribit Options As of Tuesday, there were 121,340 unconfirmed transactions in the mempool with a total block size of 66.8 MB. According to data source blockchain.com, thats the highest level since the bull market frenzy of December 2018. Story continues Hashrate drop contributes to congestion The recent slide in bitcoins hashrate looks to have played a big role in causing network congestion along with a general price-driven pickup in activity. In other words, the mining power dedicated to approving transactions and mining blocks has gone down amid the price rally, boosting waiting times and network congestion. The seven-day moving average of bitcoins hashrate has declined from 146 exahashes per second (EH/s) to 120 EH/s. In other words, the mining power available to approving transactions and mining blocks has gone down amid the price rally, boosting waiting times and network congestion. With the end of the rainy season in Chinas Sichuan province, a mining hub, some miners may be shifting to other areas with cheap hydroelectricity sources, causing a drop in the hashrate.

Madoff was chairman of Nasdaq and very well respected among the circles. Few years later, Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) trustee estimated actual losses to investors of $18 billion. It is reason why i am posting this as hopefully i will save few people from losing their money in the coming years by investing into cryptocurrencies.\n\nI will keep it short and simple and not go much into technical details, but i assure you anyone willing to google, there is plenty of detailed proof and research into the topic.\n\nBitcoin price has increased through this year mainly only because the fact that there is a mechanism in which dollar "equivalent", called tether, which is almost entirely unpacked by fiat (unofficial claim by tether treasury is, that they are packed by dollar equivalent, which in this case means bitcoin itself, which is ridiculous in itself), is being used to prop up the price of bitcoin by buying it off all the major exchanges, such as Binance, Huobi, Coinbase, Kraken etc. There is hardly any real retail interest and all the major counter points, used by the crypto community (such as insitutional demand, billionaires buying before you, Paypal, Square, Micro etc) is all smoke and mirrors, in hopes that retail will come and buy into the ponzi pyramid.\n\nWhy i mentioned Madoff, is because just few days back, total tether in circulation also crossed the SIPC mentioned $18B, currently already at $18.4B. This year alone so called Tether Treasury has issued >14B new tethers, claiming exponential increase in demand. As a comparison, at the peak of the 2017 crypto mania, there were only total of 1.4B printed through whole year. And tether is only one of the quite a few noteworthy other stablecoins, which i wont go into currently, but they also feed into the loop/system, of proping up the price. Simple example being DEFI, where Ethereum is being used as an collateral, for person to take out a loan in so called stable coins, which then on majority of cases, is used again to purchase even more ethereum. In Laymans terms, being used as a simple leverage multiplier tool with interest payment. But is defined by community, as somewhat of a groundbreaking new invention. Which i agree, it somewhat would be, if used for the real world purposes, not as a simple leverage tool.\n\nHere is a chart i put together, which should make it rather obvious for anyone taking a quick look.\n\nIt includes last 4 years of bitcoin price, tether printing and retail interest on one chart:\n\n[https://imgur.com/i78BTXg](https://imgur.com/i78BTXg)\n\nI will also leave you with a comic strip, that i had made, which describes the last 4 years of Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency asset class) tether addiction:\n\n[https://imgur.com/fPDm2VX](https://imgur.com/fPDm2VX)\n\nPS I just want to add, that in my opinion, main issue with bitcoin and all of cryptocurrency space is more precisely what it has become, a big ponzi pyramid. On top of that, tether treasury (and those involved) has completely taken over the space and what they are doing, will eventually leave many people financially ruined (because they do not any better or know, but still are willing to risk) and unfortunately them probably much more rich.\n\nI must add, that i would be significantly more acceptable with this global huge economy project/test, if it would lead its way in natural course, without middleman mafia, which currently, in Laymans terms, pumps the price with nothing but air, to eventually sell to a greater fool. If it would naturally succeed, as in new age gold 2.0, more gradually, actually being implemented into payment/financial systems etc, actually represent the alternative to government money, money for people, i would be alot more comfortable to let it run its course and see if it perhaps succeeds.\n\nBitcoin has lost all of what it was supposed to represent and where it was supposed to develop as a technology. There are many reasons why it has gone as such, it is not really topic to discuss here.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/', 'jylc71', [['u/redditspeechcensor', 23, '2020-11-22 03:02', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/gd58t59/', 'I guess this guy is going to be standing on the sidelines as bitcoin hits 300-500k soon like Wall Street analysts have suggested.', 'jylc71'], ['u/velvetlicker', 45, '2020-11-22 03:22', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/gd5c86e/', 'Lol see you from the moon', 'jylc71'], ['u/pnwmike', 15, '2020-11-22 03:31', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/gd5drcd/', 'Tether market cap is ~$18.5 like you said.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin Bitcoin rallied by 15.20% in the week ending 22 nd November. Following a 3.00% gain from the week prior, Bitcoin ended the week at $18,392.0. It was a bullish week. Bitcoin rallied from a Monday intraweek low $15,874.0 to a Saturday intraweek high and a new swing hi $18,945.0. The rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $16,684 and the second major resistance level at $17,402. Coming up against resistance at $19,000, however, Bitcoin fell back on Sunday to end the week at sub-$18,500 levels. 5 days in the green that included a 5.72% rally on Tuesday and a 4.73% gain on Friday delivered the upside for the week. For the week ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through $17,737 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $19,600. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week\x92s high $18,945.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $20,808. Failure to avoid a fall through the $17,737 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,529 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$16,000 support levels. The second major support level sits at $14,666. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.95% to $18,217.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $18,498.0 before falling to a low $18,003.0 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested at the start of the week.

It\'s a wager that has drawn eye-rolls from skeptics who believe the volatile cryptocurrency is a speculative asset rather than a store of value like gold. Since January, bitcoin has gained 160%, bolstered by strong institutional demand as well as scarcity as payment companies such as Square and Paypal buy it on behalf of customers. Bitcoin is within sight of its all-time peak of just under $20,000 hit in December 2017. It debuted in 2011 at zero and was last trading at $18,415 . Going from $18,000 to $100,000 in one year is not a stretch, Brian Estes, chief investment officer at hedge fund Off the Chain Capital, said. "I have seen bitcoin go up 10X, 20X, 30X in a year. So going up 5X is not a big deal." Estes predicts bitcoin could hit between $100,000 and $288,000 by end-2021, based on a model that utilizes the stock-to-flow ratio measuring the scarcity of commodities like gold. That model, he said, has a 94% correlation with the price of bitcoin. Citi technical analyst Tom Fitzpatrick said in a note last week that bitcoin could climb as high as $318,000 by the end of next year, citing its limited supply, ease of movement across borders, and opaque ownership. Those numbers though are a head-scratcher for Toronto-based Kevin Muir, an independent proprietary trader. "Any hedge fund model on bitcoin is rubbish. You can\'t model a mania," Muir said. "Is it plausible? For sure. It\'s a mania. But does anyone actually have a clue? Not a chance." DEARTH OF SUPPLY Bitcoin relies on so-called "mining" computers that validate blocks of transactions by competing to solve mathematical puzzles every 10 minutes. The first to solve the puzzle and clear the transaction is rewarded new bitcoins. Its technology was designed to cut the reward for miners in half every four years, a move meant to curb inflation. In May, bitcoin went through a third "halving," which reduced the rate at which new coins are created, restricting supply. That halving has kickstarted bitcoin\'s renewed ascent. Square\'s Cash App and PayPal, which recently launched a crypto service to its more than 300 million users, have been scooping up all new bitcoins, hedge fund Pantera Capital said in its letter to investors on Friday. That has caused a bitcoin shortage and has driven the rally in the last few weeks. BIG FUNDS BUYING? The so-called whale index, which counts addresses or wallets holding at least 1,000 bitcoins, is at an all-time high, said Phil Bonello, research director at digital asset manager Grayscale. Bonello said more than 2,200 addresses were linked to large bitcoin holders, up 37% from 1,600 in 2018, suggesting that institutional money has stormed in. Investors like Stanley Druckenmiller, founder of hedge fund Duquesne Capital, and Rick Rieder, BlackRock Inc\'s chief investment officer of global fixed income, have recently touted bitcoin. Retail investors though are still mostly sidelined due to the pandemic\'s effect on the economy. But with the entry of Square and PayPal, Lennard Neo, head of research at crypto index fund provider Stack Funds, expects a deluge of retail demand more intense than in 2017. Neo forecasts bitcoin to reach $60,000-$80,000 by the end of 2021. Tempus Inc currency trader Juan Perez was unimpressed, even shocked, with all the lofty forecasts and said a bet on bitcoin at $100,000 next year would be a bet on the collapse of the global financial system. "Governments around the world won\'t let that happen. They will not let fiat currencies collapse just like that," Perez said.

Billionaire’s bitcoinBillionaire U.S. investor Stanley Druckenmiller, who just weeks ago was said to be shorting the dollar, islong on bitcoin. In a Monday CNBC appearance, Druckenmiller disclosed a bitcoin position significantly smaller than his gold horde. However, he predicts bitcoin will outperform gold in the long run – largely due to millennial and Silicon Valley attraction to the crypto scene. “Frankly, if the gold bet works the bitcoin bet will probably work better because it’s thinner, more illiquid and has a lot more beta to it,” he said. Drunkenmiller made headlines last week for his bearish views on the U.S. dollar, which he suspects will decline for the next three to four years. Botched BSVA protocol change in at least one Bitcoin SV (BSV) multisig wallet hascrippled securityand led to lost customer funds. Bitcoin Core developer Gregory Maxwell found that after BSV developers removed a proven transaction script and replaced it with an outdated version, one wallet manufacturer’s home-brewed hash function has serious security flaws. The ElectrumSV wallet’s so-called “accumulator multi-sig” function cancels transfers if more than the minimum number of keys sign a transaction and, perhaps more dangerously, enables anyone to access multi-sig funds “with too few signatures (such as none at all).” One BSV user, Aaron Zhou, lost 600 BSV to an attack exploiting this weakness.

The partners’ bank, Crypto Capital, is further tied up in a $850 million black hole of crypto funds that went missing from the Bitfinex exchange in 2019. In October, Fowler considered reopening plea bargain talks. Fowler’s lawyers gave no explicit reason for wanting to withdraw from the case.

The 24/7 instant settlement network allows crypto exchanges to move cash between themselves, replacing slower wire transfers, at any time of day.

(Bloomberg) Trend linesCoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole examines three major trends contributing tobitcoin’s two-month-long rally. Having peaked at 33-month highs near $16,000, experts are citing increased institutional participation (high-net-worth individuals such as investor Stanley Druckenmiller and publicly traded firms Square and MicroStrategy), a supply crunch (huge spot market buys from retail investors and funds like Grayscale’s GBTC trust have significantly reduced bitcoin supply, driving up the price); and technical analysis to explain bitcoin’s rise. (Grayscale, like CoinDesk, is a unit of DCG.) Related:Blockchain Bites: Figure Files for Banking Charter, Cred for Bankruptcy Regulatory matters“Regulators are slow and there’s a reason we’re slow,” Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) member Hester Peirce said yesterday at CoinDesk’s Bitcoin for Advisors virtual event. “We need to have [a] process in place so that we make sure when we’re changing rules people have notice that we’re thinking aboutchanging a rule and they can comment,” she said. When confronted with the quickly evolving crypto landscape, however, Peirce said the agency could do more to be proactive. Noting it is less top-heavy than it appears, Pierce said the SEC’s five commissioners usually defer to the agency’s staff to approve or disapprove novel products like exchange-traded funds (ETF). In one such example of this arrangement, yesterday the SEC’s Division of Investment Management issued a letter seeking comment on an expanded definition of a “qualified custodian.” In response to the Wyoming Division of Banking’s recent decision to affirm the wealth management firm Two Ocean Trust as a qualified custodian eligible to custody digital assets for its clients, the SEC is now asking questions. Traditionally, qualified custodians were limited to banks, registered broker-dealers and certain derivatives merchants, all subject to stringent regulation. Now, with at least one state granting a public trust company qualified custodian status under state law, the federal watchdog is looking to add clarity to the definition. Industry publicationDecryptwrites: “The SEC’s letter asks for public comments on a variety of questions, for example, who’s been left out of the qualified custodian definition that should be in? Who’s in, who should be out? And, importantly, do state-chartered trust companies like Two Ocean have the same characteristics as banks?” Depending on where the SEC lands, this could open the door for other public trust companies – like pensions, endowments and foundations, Caitlin Long, head of Avanti said – to enter the crypto fold. As Peirce said yesterday: “There are circumstances where we have a framework at the SEC that was built in the 1930s and 1940s and added on over time,” she said. “Certainly now that we’re seeing what’s happening in the crypto space, for example, there are areas we are going to have to make adjustments and I do think we should move faster … I’m impatient there.” • Blockchain Bites: Billionaire Bullish on Bitcoin, Updates on Fowler’s Crypto Capital Case and More • Blockchain Bites: Billionaire Bullish on Bitcoin, Updates on Fowler’s Crypto Capital Case and More... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/yukeiw', 'Reminder to be nice to the new wave of newbies', 423, '2020-11-25 00:01', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/k0fwh1/reminder_to_be_nice_to_the_new_wave_of_newbies/', "With the current price closing in on the ATH.

Bitcoin, the world\'s biggest cryptocurrency, slumped as much as 13% to its lowest since Nov. 16. It was last down 9% at $17,074, a sharp correction from its three-year high of $19,521 hit on Wednesday. It has rallied around 140% this year to just shy of its all-time high of $19,666, fuelled by demand for riskier assets, a perception it is resistant to inflation, and expectations cryptocurrencies will win mainstream acceptance. The second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, dropped around 13% and XRP, the third-biggest, slid over 20%. Both coins, which tend to move in tandem with bitcoin, hit multi-year highs earlier this week. Bitcoin\'s 12-year history has been peppered with vertiginous gains and equally sharp drops. It volatility has hampered use for payments and made many larger investors wary. Backers hoped than in 2020 a more mature market and fewer retail investors have lowered the chances of the kind of crash that followed its 2017 bubble. Graphic: Bitcoin rally stutters - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/jbyvredampe/bitcoin.PNG Traders cited for the drop the unwinding of highly leveraged positions built up as bitcoin approached its record, as well as tweets by the CEO of major cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase expressing concern at rumours of a regulatory crackdown. "There\'s definitely been a sense of euphoria in markets over the last couple of days," said Joseph Edwards of crypto brokerage Enigma Securities. "This mostly feels like a reaction to that - over-leveraged markets took one small hit and suffered immensely."

The biggest cryptocurrency by market value has risen by 3.5% to levels above $11,000 in the past 24 hours, confirming an upside break of a narrowing price range represented by trendlines connecting Sept. 19 and Oct. 1 highs and Sept. 8 and Sept. 23 lows. Bitcoin is currently trading near $11,050 up 6% from lows below $10,400 seen earlier this month and the highest level since Sept. 20, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index . While the recovery and the range breakout looks impressive, chart analysts and traders say $11,200 is now the level to beat for the bulls. We consider the breakout of the Sept. 19 high of $11,200 to be a more significant catalyst for further upside, Lennard Neo, head of research at Stack Funds, told CoinDesk. He added the price range of $10,000 to $11,200 may hold until more clarity surfaces going into November U.S. elections. Bitcoins rejection near $11,200 on Sept. 19 was followed by a four-day sell-off to $10,200. In other words, the cryptocurrency established a lower high (marked by a circle in the chart above) at $11,200 a bearish pattern. As such, a break above $11,200 would be more credible evidence of a bullish breakout, as pointed out by Neo. Meanwhile, Simon Peters, a crypto market analyst at investment platform eToro, said bitcoin needs to hold or establish a new base above $11,000, in which case it could make a move toward the next psychological hurdle at $12,000. Thats because bitcoin failed multiple times in mid-September to absorb selling pressure above $11.000. And while Neo and Peters remain cautious, Phillip Gillespie, CEO of the over-the-counter liquidity provider B2C2 Japan is foreseeing a pick up in volatility in the near term, as U.S. elections, a large systematic risk even, are scheduled for Nov. 4. If we werent weeks away from the U.S. election, I would think we have a bullish setup in bitcoin, Gillespie said while sharing his view on Thursdays triangle breakout.

I read this forum every day. I always dreamed of writing one of these posts and honestly didn\'t have a particular milestone planned for it but today I surpassed a personal net worth of $1 million dollars for the first time and the inspiration struck as I was going through my calculations. So, here I am. Get ready to see every stereotype rolled into one in this post so just buckle the fuck up. Shoutout to /r/fijerk.\n\nNow... the goods. Current rounded breakdowns of my personal net worth:\n\n$85,000 cash\n\n$15,000 car equity\n\n$130,000 real estate equity\n\n$10,000 in bonds (mutual funds)\n\n$390,000 in stock (mutual funds)\n\n$270,000 in individual stocks (small positions in tech that grew exponentially - mainly Tesla \\shocked Pikachu face\\)\n\n$100,000 in crypto (small investment that grew exponentially)\n\nTotal: approximately $1,000,000\n\nHow? Tons of amazing opportunity, a genuine love of technology (and great jobs in the tech industry), a ton of luck, steadfast frugality, and relentless investing... Step by step:\n\n1. Graduated college in 2011 without debt due to choosing a state school, financial aid, scholarships, family support, and a couple summer internships (one unpaid, two paid). \n2. 10 years in the tech industry. Started strong ($72,000 a year total compensation), moved companies three times, and was promoted once. Current compensation is now $150,000 a year after all that. I have never taken more than 1 week off between jobs and always had the next thing lined up.\n3. I watched all the people my age at the tech companies I worked for spend money on eating out, fancy apartments, brand-new cars. I got a low-end apartment with roommates even after I got my first real job. Most my happiness came from spending time with my frugal spouse, playing sports, basic tech items like phones/video games, and my dog that I got after 1 year working. I still ate very cheaply and never ordered alcohol out. This left lots of money for maxing all my tax advantaged accounts, further index fund stock investing, and then that 5% or so for the high risk "fun" investments that I happened to hit on.\n4. I read about technology every day for fun via a simple news aggregator. I scan the headlines and then usually end up reading 3-4 articles a day that interest me. I always try and think about what will affect the world the most and how it will do so... and whether or not there is an investing angle that the general public isn\'t yet privy to. \n5. Put most my money in 100% stock index funds as I started out as kind of an aggressive boglehead and still am in a lot of ways. As years passed I put 5% or so into "fun"/high risk investing when I saw something cool crop up. Learned about crypto in late 2013 during the bull run up to $1,000. Invested a tiny bit of money in bitcoin near the top there and got burned - watched the price cut in half. Doubled down and never looked back (wish I had continued to dollar cost average but c\'est la vie). 3 years later I finally crossed into the profitable range but continued to hold! I am a Tesla fan so over the last few years I have slowly thrown a few hundred dollars into $TSLA here and there for fun once my retirement accounts were all maxed out for the year. Looked at it as a potential charitable investment to try and help the environment and also maybe a fun fund to buy a cool car someday if it did well. Watched it stagnate for years and then eventually now this huge run-up has propelled my net worth substantially (better make the post quick before the 7 figures NW goes away!!!).\n\nAlright... so... what? Are my take-a-ways going to be that different than everyone else\'s? Not really but here is my spin on it anyways.\n\n1. You don\'t have to fit in with the crowd. I am a FIRE zealot amongst my friends and that provides an interesting perspective in the corporate world. I always try to pay my own way and (especially now) find times to be generous, but I also try and steer my friends to make responsible financial choices and overall it has been good for my social relationships.\n2. Your spouse is going to almost assuredly be the most important person in your life. I met my significant other at a young age. When we were in college, we had no money so we got used to spending nothing and still enjoying each other\'s company. She is frugal too and has her own story to share. She has quite the impressive portfolio and net worth herself and we have ultimately bonded over money. It is amazing to have a hard working and financially supportive partner. \n3. Most hobbies can be accomplished within very reasonable budgets if you plan well and only purchase things you are really going to use. Animals are awesome. Sports are fun. Music is amazing. Video games can provide near infinite entertainment. There are a lot of cool things to spend your time on that are cheap per hour of entertainment provided (and aren\'t $10 drinks at the bar). Even if you love the bars, you can go to most bars with your friends for free. Be the designated driver. Drink at home and walk/lyft out to the bars with your friends (once COVID is under control, of course). It\'s not that big of a deal to plan a bit.\n4. Invest and Invest EARLY! The first money I earned and paid taxes on at an internship went into a Roth IRA immediately. I maxed all my retirement accounts in year 1 of my first real job and didn\'t increase my lifestyle nearly at all except for social obligations with new coworkers (and even then, I found the cheapest way to do everything while still pulling my weight). Despite the fact it now looks like I am some Tesla/Crypto dude, I started out with basically ALL broad based index funds for years. My cost basis in real estate/index funds is probably $400,000-$500,000 while my cost basis in individual stocks/crypto is probably $40,000 after 10 years.\n5. Find hobbies that make you money! I love looking at real estate. My spouse and I bought a property and rented out extra rooms. We made some money on rent, we made some money on appreciation. We have had quite a few small headaches and inconveniences but it still has been an adventure, and a profitable one! Plus we have learned a lot.\n6. Set a goal, give yourself a reasonable reward! You don\'t have to spend nothing. I just try not to waste anything. Over time, dogs are expensive. I wanted a dog anyways. Once I had a steady job and a positive performance review under my belt, I adopted a dog! Worth every penny. After 8 years, I upgraded my reliable used car to my first new car - I just plan to keep it for 15 years and take care of it.\n\n**TL;DR: Went to a state school and utilized whate...

The cryptocurrencies overlap with key areas of monetary and financial system. Given their rapid growth, complexity, high volatility and potentiality for facilitating illicit activities, regulators and policy makers across the world are bothered about their inclusion into the existing system and revising the existing systems to fit them, if included.Key Market TrendsA brief on the Volatility in the Market Capitalization of CryptocurrenciesThe evolving nature of this market with new cryptocurrencies created every week it is difficult to know how big the cryptocurrency market is. A wide scope of market exchanges for cryptocurrency trading, spread across the globe because of their privacy protection features as well as rapid growth, extreme price volatility, and market illiquidity add to the complexity of the cryptocurrency market. The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies over the years shows how high the price volatility of the market is.The estimated cryptocurrency market capitalization, for example, during the month of January 2018, varied between 400 billion USD and 800 billion USD which was at 566 billion USD at the beginning of the year 2018 and finally settled at 128 billion USD by the end of the year 2018. In terms of transaction volumes, bitcoin alone had the highest number of 200,000 average daily transactions.Adoption of Blockchain Technology Increasing on a Robust PaceEnterprise adoption of the blockchain technology has quietly reached a tipping point across multiple use cases. Companies who have recognized value from their initial pilot projects are now moving towards turning these projects into production. Specifically there is still uncertainty about this technology in the areas of regulations and governance, but the adoption of blockchain for financial services, identity, trade and other markets are increasing.Global blockchain spending will be led by the banking industry followed by discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing with a combined market share of about 50% of overall spending. In the banking industry, the spending will be driven by two of the largest use cases - cross border payments & settlements and trade finance & post-trade settlements.Spending on blockchain solutions will be the highest in the United States followed by Western Europe and China. All the regions shown in the infographics are expected to see phenomenal growth in the coming years.Competitive LandscapeThe report includes different segments like coin product developers, mining services, cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet companies, etc along with a note on recent mergers and acquisitions that shaped the ecosystem.Reasons to Purchase this report: • The market estimate (ME) sheet in Excel format • 3 months of analyst support Key Topics Covered:1 INTRODUCTION1.1 Scope of the Market1.2 Market Definition2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY2.1 Study Deliverables2.2 Study Assumptions2.3 Analysis Methodology2.4 Research Phases3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY4 MARKET INSIGHTS AND DYNAMICS4.1 Market Overview4.1.1 A Brief on the Structure and Technological Aspects of Cryptocurrencies4.1.2 Price Volatility of the cryptocurrency market4.1.3 Market Capitalization of Major Cryptocurrencies4.1.4 Rationale for widespread Crypto Mining Areas Across the Globe4.2 Major Concerns for Policymakers About Cryptocurrencies4.2.1 Effects of Cryptocurrency Market on Eonomic Efficiency and Growth4.2.2 Impact on Financial Stability due to Cryptocurrenncy Adoption4.2.3 Effects on Monetary Policy due to Cryptocurrency Adoption4.2.4 Effects on Fiscal Policy due to Cryptocurrency Adoption4.2.5 Probable ways of Taxation of Cryptocurrency Market4.2.6 Cons of Cryptocurrency Adoption into Financial Ecosystem4.2.7 Tools at the Disposal of Policymakers to Counter the Cons of Cryptocurrency Adoption4.3 A Brief on Investment Outlook in Cryptocurrency Market4.4 Latest Developments in the Cryptocurrency Market4.5 Market Drivers4.6 Market Restraints5 MARKET SEGMENTATION AND ANALYSIS5.1 Geography5.1.1 Americas (United States, Canada, Latin America and Caribbean)5.1.2 Europe5.1.3 United Kingdom5.1.4 Asia-Pacific5.1.5 Middle East & Africa5.2 By Design Goals5.2.1 Digital Cash Coins5.2.2 Payment Infrastructure Tokens5.2.3 Securities Tokens5.2.4 Utility Tokens5.2.5 General Platform Tokens5.2.6 Others5.3 By Market Capitalization5.3.1 Bitcoin5.3.2 Ethereum5.3.3 Ripple5.3.4 Bitcoin Cash5.3.5 Cardano5.3.6 Others6 COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE6.1 Overview (Market Concentration and Major Players)6.2 Mergers & Acquisitions6.3 Segments and Company Profiles6.3.1 Coin Product Developers6.3.2 Mining Services6.3.3 Cloud for Bitcoin6.3.4 Cryptocurrency Exchanges6.3.5 Wallet Companies6.3.6 Payment and Trading Solution Providers6.3.7 Others7 MARKET OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE TRENDSFor more information about this report visithttps://www.researchandmarkets.com/r/amzz4m Research and Markets also offersCustom Researchservices providing focused, comprehensive and tailored research.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 0.24% on Friday. Following on from an 8.09% slide on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $17,171.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $17,531.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,641, Bitcoin slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $16,501.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $16,050, Bitcoin moved back through to $17,100 levels to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest slide back to sub-$17,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,920 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Ripple’s XRP rose by 4.64% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.80%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.44%), and Polkadot (+0.11%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin slid by 4.79% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.81%), Chainlink (-0.74%), Ethereum (-0.25%), and Litecoin (-2.70%), also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $593.32bn before sliding to a Thursday low $467.23bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $504.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 64.75% before sliding to a Tuesday low of 60.80%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.94%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.22% 17,133.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $17,198.0 before falling to a low $17,031.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.71%) and Crypto.com Coin (+3.90%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Polkadot was down by 0.65% to lead the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $17,068 to bring the first major resistance level at $17,634 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $17,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $17,531.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,098. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $17,068 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,604 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$16,000 levels. The second major support level at $16,038 should limit any downside.

Bitcoin Latinum will trade under the symbol LTNM with a total supply of 888,888,888 LTNM [verifiable by LTNM].\nBitcoin Latinum is now available for pre-sale onwww.bitcoinlatinum.comand will be available on exchanges in 2021.\nMarsh & McLennan, one of the world\'s leading specialty insurance brokers and risk advisers, has been appointed to arrange a comprehensive insurance program for Bitcoin Latinum. The insurance coverage, to be arranged by Marsh Asia, will protect Bitcoin Latinum holders in case of external theft and internal collusion, potentially up to the full value of their holdings. This contemplated insurance coverage will make Bitcoin Latinum the world\'s largest insured digital asset.\nThe Bitcoin Latinum tokens are a part of a blockchain ecosystem being adopted by companies in media, gaming, storage, cloud, and telecommunications. Bitcoin Latinum tokens will be interchangeably used on each of these partner/supplier networks by consumers. In addition, Bitcoin Latinum adds security around inflight transactions and enhanced mining node protection based on memory scanning technology. Furthermore, Bitcoin Latinum looks to reduce the cost of a Bitcoin transaction from dollars to pennies for on-chain transactions and even lower rates for lightning-based transactions.\nBitcoin\'s market cap is nearing $200 billion and makes up approximately 84% of the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin recently crossed $18,000 per token, demonstrating a strong bull market. Earlier this year, Gartner stated that blockchain technology will create more than $176 billion worth of business value by 2025, and $3.1 trillion by 2030. There are trillions of dollars in global assets that could potentially be digitized.\nBitcoin Latinum is an enhanced Bitcoin fork. The Bitcoin Latinum algorithm and infrastructure break barriers and speed limits that have prevented some virtual currencies from achieving practical, real-time use. Bitcoin Latinum taps into the new wave of crypto DeFi — decentralized finance – for its role in independent digital transactions. According to Nasdaq, the total DeFi related cryptocurrency market recently passed $14 billion, up from $1 billion in February 2020.\nAdopting Bitcoin Latinum is Academy Award winning studio Cross Creek Media. Cross Creek has grossed over $1.7 billion in the worldwide box office. Cross Creek Media, who has long term relationships with Sony Pictures Entertainment and Universal Pictures, most recently expanded its digital assets in film, television, and IP with Monsoon Blockchain & Marsh. Cross Creek has been a co-financier/producer of such films as Oscar winnerBlack Swanand has been behind hitsAmerican Made,Everest, and Hacksaw Ridge.Timmy Thompson, CEO of Cross Creek Media stated, "We are very excited about Bitcoin Latinum and its capabilities as an insured token, as we continue developing award-winning properties. Cross Creek\'s portfolio of new media technology investments perfectly positions us to take advantage of the digital asset sector in Media and Gaming."\nDraper Dragon Fund will be playing a major role with Bitcoin Latinum. Draper Dragon Fund has invested in blockchain companies Telegram, Ledger, Vechain, Ultrain, Aelf and Token Insight.

There are a bunch of people that are anti-IRS in the Bitcoin community and don\'t feel like people are obligated to report to the IRS their purchases using Bitcoin. I don\'t want to debate that. Let\'s assume every purchase that a person makes with Bitcoin needs to be reported on form 8949. When a person buys on exchanges like coinbase, binance, etc, those exchanges are an open eco-system. Once a bitcoin leaves those exchanges, those exchanges don\'t know what happens to those bitcoins(for the most part). So, those exchanges can\'t automate your tax filings.\n\nPayPal has setup a closed eco-system where they know a person\'s purchase history of bitcoin, their sales history of bitcoin and the history of when they bought something using bitcoin(via PayPal). So, PayPal has all the necessary information to generate a 1099-B for that person. A 1099-B completely simplifies tax filing for purchases made with Bitcoin.\n\nTo give you a concrete example. Let make the following assumptions:\n\nI bought 1 bitcoin on August 1st 2020 for $10,000\n\nOn Sept 1st, 2020, I bought a TV for $2000 using Bitcoin and the price of one Bitcoin was $20,000.\n\nSo, let\'s work through what happens if I used Coinbase to originally buy that 1 bitcoin. So I bought that Bitcoin and then I moved it to my hardware wallet. I had to pay some amount of bitcoin in transaction fees to move that bitcoin. To make things "simple", let\'s assume the network transaction fee was .01 btc. So that improves my cost basis but overall it cost me money but my new cost basis is .99 bitcoin for a $10,000(this makes the effective cost basis of 1 btc to be $10,101.01). Then I purchase the tv from my hardware wallet. There would be another network transaction cost but let\'s assume it was free. Coinbase has no idea what I did with that bitcoin that I bought from them. So, it\'s now my obligation to report my capital gain to the IRS since the price had gone up since I bought that bitcoin. So, my capital gain would be: I used .1 bitcoin to buy a $2000 TV. My cost basis of that .1 btc was $1010.01. So I had a capital gain fo $989.99 that I need to pay short term capital gain taxes on that.\n\nNow I imagine that I buy a $4 cup of coffee every day.

When I tell people that I work in cryptocurrency, people often ask me questions straight out of a horror movie. Isn’t bitcoin creepy? I understand their confusion: Hollywood often acts like everything crypto-related is dark web deals and criminal conduct. In fact, it’s held and traded by millions of law-abiding people around the world and, in the United States, is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service . Catherine Coley is CEO of Binance.US . Related: Why Satoshi Chose Halloween to Release the Bitcoin White Paper Even the nation’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase , wants to create a digital currency. Electronic or digital currencies hold great potential as non-inflationary global means of trade. Whether you’re an athlete or an artist, a barber or a banker, a teenager or a retiree, cryptocurrency can work for you. Cryptocurrency is exciting, popular and useful but its increased acceptance doesn’t mean that all its shadows have disappeared. Because it’s October, I want to talk about the scariest thing in the crypto world: being tricked by scams. The great 2020 Twitter hack In July, hackers made off with roughly $120,000 in cryptocurrency after hacking major verified Twitter accounts. Accounts belonging to Barack Obama, Bill Gates and others published tweets asking users to send bitcoin to particular wallet addresses. The hacked accounts promised that any shared currency would be doubled and returned. They lied. Given the size, scale and sophistication of the June Twitter hack, it’s a relief to learn that the hackers’ payoff was relatively limited: Millions of people saw the fraudulent tweets, but only 400 deposited funds with the criminals. Any single theft is one theft too many, but the comparatively low number of victims means the crypto community has learned important lessons. And the thieves themselves were schooled in Bitcoin’s technology: The immutable blockchain ledger, which records all transactions in perpetuity, led directly to their arrest. Story continues Related: Money Reimagined: Who Are the Real Monsters? See also: Twitter Hack 2020 – Full Coverage “ Educate, don’t intimidate ” is my motto for business and for life. As my first job was navigating Wall Street’s foreign exchange trading desks, I know how intimidating finance and its terminology can be. The same goes for crypto. From the outside, words like “staking,” “hashing” and “mining” can seem very complicated. But with a little education you, too, can understand it. The last thing I want is to intimidate you and make you believe that there’s a scammer behind every email. But I do want you to recognize the possible signs of criminal activity and protect yourself. Everyone dealing with cryptocurrency should understand the most common grifts and schemes . A closer look at July’s Twitter hack is useful here. The 400 victims who sent funds to hackers imitating Elon Musk or Warren Buffett didn’t know that “giveaways” promising something for nothing are a cybercriminal standby. The July hack was more than “just” a giveaway exploit. If the criminals hadn’t compromised celebrity and politician accounts, their plan wouldn’t have worked. In July, Twitter admitted some of its employees had fallen victim to “spear phishing” attacks – they were convinced, by phone calls and seemingly official emails, to enter sensitive personal data into criminal-controlled websites. You shouldn’t believe everything you see on social media, and you must verify before trusting every email that pops into your inbox or every caller who has your mobile phone number. Take a quick gut check, look at the sender address or Twitter handle. Does it seem too good to be true? Learn from others’ mistakes, but don’t forget that the crooks are vastly outnumbered by honest users. Staying vigilant The digital asset community grows savvier by the day. And much of that comes from learning from mistakes. But, I hope, by reading this you can avoid them. An educated audience makes it harder for scammers to operate, and their return on scamming is shrinking. So, in 2020, are crypto scams on their way out? I wish they were. Just like monsters defeated in one movie only to be revived in sequels, scammers never stay down for long. Earlier this month, I took to Twitter to warn my followers about a fraudulent newsletter making the rounds. We’re still haunted by a few bad actors. Fake cryptocurrency exchange and wallet apps occasionally still show up on mobile app stores. New members of the crypto community sometimes fail to do their own research . And a few networks with bad intentions spend all day on Telegram and Discord lurking for vulnerable targets. With more awareness around crypto and your safety, scams may grow scarcer by the day, but they’re still out there. You may shiver to think of cybercriminals at large and in pursuit of your assets but the more you know the less worried you’re likely to be if you’ve taken the right steps to protect yourself. The perpetrators of the July 2020 Twitter hack were arrested and charged within two weeks. When investigators and law enforcement ripped their masks away, the masterminds were revealed to be teenagers from Florida and Massachusetts. This October, as the jack-o’-lanterns are lit, you may want to indulge in a good shudder over some terrifying scam story or another. It’s true that scams are a problem, but don’t fall for panicked urban legends. You have all the knowledge you need to operate. Smart planning, critical thinking and commonsense precautions can keep you safe from the tricksters and enjoying the treats of digital assets.

I had vehemently argued against Bitcoin, saying that it was pure speculation and would be a total waste of money. \n\nWell, he ended up investing about 50k into Bitcoin around then (when Bitcoin was ~$100 each), for over 500 coins. I, on the other, invested most of it into stocks, and about 30k into silver. \n\nMy brother has never sold any of his Bitcoins. He’s never even traded them for other crypto currencies.

It’s extremely depressing. I try to be thankful for what I do have, and I try to be thankful since I know that many other people in the world have it way worse.

It was created during the COVID-19 crisis when fiscal and monetary policies have exposed serious vulnerabilities in the current financial system. The concept of the Digital Reserve Currency was developed by Maxim Nurov , CEO of Digital Finance, Washington, DC, a financial company that specializes in the digital assets market. DRC has a few unique characteristics that differentiate it from other digital assets. First, DRC has a purely deflationary economic model. 100% of the total DRC supply was issued to the secondary market and no more DRC tokens will ever be created. Second, DRC has a fair distribution model. All the DRC supply of 1 Billion indivisible tokens was issued directly to the market. DRC founders/developers never received any funds from investors in any form and never retained any tokens before the whole token supply became available on the market. Third, DRC had a community-driven ecosystem from the day one. No one has control over DRC as DRC has fully decentralized structure. The DRC Foundation has been created by the DRC community to define the strategy and the road map of the DRC ecosystem development. Finally, DRC token is fully developed and operational. Its smart contract has been audited by a trusted blockchain development firm and does not contain any security issues. Built using Solidity, DRC's code cannot be altered since being deployed on the blockchain. DRC has a robust value proposition as a potential digital store of value. As global markets experience inflation, DRC provides economic scarcity and a zero-inflation rate. In accordance with the DRC road map, DRC holders should be able to link the value of their tokens to a basket of the most efficient store of value assets such as gold, Bitcoin, and the US dollar, as soon as in Q1 2021. Story continues DRC was designed to provide a steady increase in its intrinsic value and act as a useful hedge against inflation. It fits the needs of people looking to preserve their wealth, especially in developing countries, while still having the flexibility of immediate, cross-border, and censorship-resistant transfers.

Gaining 2.1% over the previous 24 hours. • Bitcoin’s 24-hour range: $17,364-$18,170 • BTC above its 10-day and 50-day moving averages, a bullish signal for market technicians. Bitcoin’s price rise stalled somewhat Thursday, with the world’s oldest cryptocurrency hitting as high as $18,170 before dipping below the $18,000 level, but back to $18,026 as of press time. Volume contributed to the weakening price action. At $1.79 billion, Wednesday was the highest volume day for major USD/BTC spot exchanges since way back on March 13, when volumes hit $1.98 billion the day after the “Black Thursday” crash. Today, daily volume on these exchanges were at a comparably tepid $867 million. Related:10 Metrics Where Bitcoin Has Already Hit New All-Time Highs A volume pullback from the second-largest day on the USD/BTC spot market in 2020 isn’t deterring analysts on their bullish prognostications. “The current upward move seems more sustainable than the 2017 bull run as institutional investors are now positioning in bitcoin whereas it was only retail speculation back in 2017,” said Elie Le Rest, partner at quant firm ExoAlpha. “Bitcoin confirms by its recent price move that it has a place in a diversified portfolio.” Read More:Deutsche Bank Says Investors Increasingly Prefer Bitcoin Over Gold “The market’s infrastructure, regulatory regime and overall maturity is much more robust than previously,” said John Willock, CEO of crypto asset manager Tritium. “I fully expect a couple of pullbacks from these nominal mile markers such as $18,000, $19,000 and $20,000, but I do expect we should see the overall momentum continue through the rest of the year.” Related:MicroStrategy Wants to Be in the Bitcoin Business, Not Just an Investor Since Oct. 20, bitcoin’s 30-day volatility has been steadily rising, indicating that some price gyrations may still be on the horizon. “No assets go parabolic forever,” noted Michael Gord, chief executive officer for trading firm Global Digital Assets. “Bitcoin has gone up over 50% in the past month and is due for a correction.” “Long term I’m still very bullish and still seeing increasing interest from more traditional investors in bitcoin and other digital assets,” Gord added.

Even permabulls like Henrik Kugelberg, a Sweden-based over-the-counter crypto trader, are prepared for some bumps in the road should bitcoin work its way to an all-time high. “I expect a much larger drop pretty soon,” Kugelberg told CoinDesk. “But in all I can see BTC going to $23,000-$24,000 in the next month or two.” The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization,ether(ETH), was up Thursday, trading around $475 and climbing 0.55% in 24 hours as of 21:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET). The amount of ether “locked” in decentralized finance, or DeFi, is declining. The fall began Nov. 14, going from 8.9 million to 7.7 million ETH as of press time, according to aggregator DeFi Pulse. Jean-Marc Bonnefous, managing partner for investment firm Tellurian Capital, suspects some of the ether movement out of DeFi might have to do with Ethereum’s ambitious “2.0” project. This requires some capital allocation to a smart contract set aside for staking somethingknown as the “beacon chain” to launch the new network. “There is the need to find another 400,000 ETH to fill the first phase of staking into ETH 2.0 by the end of November,” said Bonnefous. “So this might explain some of the leakage out of DeFi.” Digital assets on theCoinDesk 20are mixed Thursday, mostly green.

At least, that is what ancaps envision it to be and what they strive for, which they intend to do so by getting rid of the government and keep the peace through the NAP. However, without them knowing it, anarcho-capitalism is already being practiced, everywhere around the world. In what way, you might ask. Well, through crime, mainly illegal trade and the underground economy as a whole.\n\nIn my analysis, I define anarcho-capitalism as the following: an economy where the means of production are privately owned and controlled and resources are allocated through a market mechanism, but in absence of a central government who enforces the private property rights: People have to enforce it themselves or hire an agency themselves who would do it for them (like a PMC). This is the core functioning of anarcho-capitalism without all the whistles and bells to make it look appealing.\n\nNow, how is the underground/illegal market an example of anarcho-capitalism? Simple: because possession of illegal commodities is illegal, ownership of it wont be protected by the government. If someone steals your coke, you cant call the cops on them and have them arrested. Despite that, you can trade for illegal goods with common currency (often even currency that cant inflate like fiat, like bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which conveniently resemble how gold would be used ideally as a currency in ancapistan), and, more importantly, you can even run a business producing illegal commodities like drugs, guns, etc, or supply services like hitman-for-hire. These businesses, especially drug cartels, often have their own little state (which is a collection of armed guards and armed personel) with which they force the people who deliver the drugs to return the profit to their boss: if the deliverer keeps all the money he gets from the client, his boss doesnt make a profit on his production, so he would send his armed personel to punish the deliverer and return the profit to the business owner. In essence, the drug cartel enforces its private property rights by itself. \n\nI think I made it obvious enough how the black market is anarcho-capitalism in practice, and shows how dystopian the concept really is (unless you think working for a drugs cartel is a chill life where you certainly arent constantly in danger of getting your head blown off by your own boss if you disobey him, let alone the clear violence you are forced to commit for your wage), but I can hear ancaps coming: "You forgot about the NAP. With the NAP, nobody would harm other people", assuming the NAP is a natural phenomenon. The criminal underworld demonstrates how the NAP cant persist in an anarchic competitive environment. First of all, in order for there to be a non-aggression pact between organisations, there needs to be trust. Said trust can never be guaranteed, since the interests of the different (criminal) enterprises are in conflict with each other: they both want to maximize their profits, which can only be done by having the most amount of costumers possible. Coke is coke, some produce better coke than others, but at the end of the day, people are looking for affordable coke. Out of the coke consumers, the only way to gain more is to steal them from competing cartels. Because both cartels require as much profit as possible in order to pay for the production for goods AND keep the guards well-paid to enforce your private property, the stealing of market share brings the existence of the cartel and the power of the cartel boss at stake. In other words, conflict is inevitable, and everything is at stake, so all the cards get laid on deck, including aggression, in the form of assassinations and gang wars. \n\nAnother point Id like to mention, is that when trust (the NAP) is broken, you cant expect all the corporations to keep trusting those who didn\'t go rogue, especially when violation of the NAP occurs more than once. Afterall, how can they trust one another when some are bound to break that trust to take advantage of you, especially because of all these incentives that motivate them to get on top of one another? And when trust is broken for all, it becomes a free-for-all game, where trust can only be bought and you always have to watch your back and, of course, your private property.\n\nIn conclusion, an anarcho-capitalist society is bound to fall in utter chaos through privatised enforcement of private property rights that is unable to keep the peace, thanks to the incentives provided by the capitalist economy. However not only a great parallel can be drawn with the course of the black market and it\'s criminal underworld, but in this perspective also with different nation-states fighting over resources, as they have always had and still do to this day.\n\nIf anyone has arguments to add, comment them and I may include them in the post.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/k3jgam/anarchocapitalism_already_exists_in_real_life_and/', 'k3jgam', [['u/nikolakis7', 17, '2020-11-30 00:28', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/k3jgam/anarchocapitalism_already_exists_in_real_life_and/ge3e1sb/', "That's like saying socialism already exists today because you can just disrespect private property laws.", 'k3jgam'], ['u/Deathdragon228', 23, '2020-11-30 00:41', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/k3jgam/anarchocapitalism_already_exists_in_real_life_and/ge3flyz/', 'You yourself explained the reason the black market isn’t anarcho capitalism.

Today's Key News: ['By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss and Suzanne Barlyn NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar sank to a fresh 2-1/2-year low in choppy trading on Wednesday, weighed down by expectations of further fiscal stimulus for the United States. The greenback, however, last traded little changed to slightly lower on the day amid wrangling in Congress over additional coronavirus aid. Republicans and Democrats in Congress remained unable to reach agreement on more relief for the U.S. economy on Wednesday, with top Republicans supporting what the Senate\'s top Democrats dismissed as an "inadequate, partisan proposal." Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said President Donald Trump supported a proposal put forth by Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after the latter on Tuesday rejected a $908 billion bipartisan package. For months, McConnell has pushed for a $500 billion plan that Democrats rejected as insufficient. Democratic leaders, however, said on Wednesday a bipartisan coronavirus aid plan should be the basis for immediate negotiations in the U.S. Congress. "Generally, the theme has been positive and the bipartisan plan gives us a base for further stimulus talks," said Amo Sahota, executive director at currency advisory firm Klarity FX in San Francisco. "But quite honestly, I am not convinced by the stimulus plans. I think they\'re still far away from a deal from what we can tell," he added. In afternoon trading, the dollar index was 0.1% lower at 91.115 , after earlier hitting 91.094, the lowest since late April 2018. Wednesday\'s data showing slower U.S. private hiring last month supported some safe-haven buying of the dollar earlier in the session. Private payrolls increased by 307,000 jobs in November, the ADP National Employment Report showed, lower than economists\' forecast for a 410,000 rise. Data for October, though, was revised up to show 404,000 jobs added instead of the initially reported 365,000. Analysts said the ADP report, while disappointing, had positive elements. Story continues Adding to the positive risk sentiment was Britain\'s approval of Pfizer Inc\'s COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, jumping ahead of the rest of the world in the race to begin the most crucial mass inoculation program in history. The euro, meanwhile, was up 0.2% at $1.2098, after earlier hitting $1.2108, the highest since late April 2018. The European Central Bank meets next week and analysts said the ECB could act to stem the currency\'s rapid rise. Against the yen, the dollar rose 0.2% to 104.52, after the Bank of Japan signaled its readiness to extend pandemic-response programs. Bitcoin was up 1.6% at $19,061, after hitting a record high of $19,918.01 on Tuesday. Sterling fell as Britain and the European Union quickly approached a make-or-break moment in trade talks, with investors uncertain a deal will be reached. [GBP/] The pound last traded down 0.5% against the dollar at $1.3361.

What Happened:Dozens of workers were laid-off by the Jeff Bezos-led company as it reached agreements with two external manufacturers in recent weeks to manufacture components parts of its delivery drones, according to FT. The agreements, full terms of which are yet to be finalized, were signed with Austria’s FACC Aerospace and Spain’s Aernnova Aerospace, a person familiar with the matter told FT. The retail giant is also looking at other external firms, according to FT. “As part of our regular business operations, we are [reorganizing] one small team within our larger Prime Air [organization] to allow us to best align with the needs of our customers and the business,” an Amazon spokesperson confirmed the layoffs to FT. The spokesperson said the company was “working to find roles in the areas where we are hiring that best match their experience and needs.” Why It Matters:Drone deliveries though revealed seven years ago by Bezos have yet not been fully deployed and are still “years away,” according to an unnamed source of FT. DroneAnalyst’s head of research David Benowitz said that Amazon is “not meeting the lofty goals and the original vision quite yet.” Walmart Inc(NYSE:WMT) is alreadyon its way to trial deliverieswith San Francisco, California-based firm Zipline.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ["The Takeaway\n• Ripple used to position itself as the regulator-friendly crypto firm.\n• Now the company is threatening to leave the U.S. over regulatory uncertainty.\n• Lack of clarity from the SEC about XRP’s legal status looks to be the sticking point.\n• The company is fighting several private investor lawsuits over the securities question and reportedly eyeing an initial public offering.\nRipple might not move out after all.\nSix weeks after announcing he’s looking at potentially relocating Ripple’s headquarters because of the lack of regulatory clarity around theXRPcryptocurrency in the U.S., CEO Brad Garlinghouse isnow taking a wait-and-see approachfollowingthe election of Joe Bidenas U.S. president. Speaking to CNN’s Julia Chatterley on Wednesday, he said the payments firm hadn’t made any decision on the matter.\nRelated:XRP Led November's Crypto Bull Run With 169% Gain\n“We haven’t put a strict timeline on when we’ll make a decision” on relocating, he said. “I think I am waiting to see what dynamics change, associated with the Biden administration beginning their term in office, and I am optimistic that will actually improve where things sit for the XRP community broadly.”\nGarlinghousedonatedto the Biden for President campaign earlier this year, according to Federal Election Commission records. Last year, he donated to the Kamala Harris for the People campaign when she was a presidential candidate. Harris later dropped out of that race but is now the vice president-elect and will take office with Biden.\nGarlinghouse’s remarks diverge from previous comments, when he indicated the prolonged but fruitless efforts to get federal regulators on the firm’s side seem to have exhausted the patience of Ripple’s executives as the company eyes a potential initial public offering (IPO) and fights a lawsuit.\nFor years, the payments startup, closely associated with the XRP cryptocurrency, held itself up as an example of good behavior. In 2016, for example, Ripple was thesecondcompany in the blockchain industry to obtain the infamously stringent BitLicense from New York State (and later added the architect of that regimeto its board).\nRelated:Ripple Is Cashing Out a Third of Its Stake in Surging MoneyGram\nThe firm’s CEO in those days, Chris Larsen, eschewed the then-fashionable term “disruptor” and stressed that unlike Bitcoin’s early adopters, Ripple aimed to assist, not usurp, regulated institutions. To do so it invested in multiple lobbyingeffortsin Washington.\nLately, the San Francisco-based company’s leaders have been notably less diplomatic. Current CEOGarlinghouseandLarsen, now executive chairman, havepublicly threatenedto move Ripple’s headquarters out of the U.S., citing the lack of regulatory clarity, particularly from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company recentlyannouncedit opened a regional office in Dubai.\nRipple is still a far cry from, say, Binance, the global cryptocurrency exchange that hashopped from one jurisdiction to anotherand hasrefused to even say where exactly it is headquartered. But the Silicon Valleyunicorn’sopen discussion of a possible relocation marks a strategic shift, underscoring how the sector’s compliance challenges have grown more complex over the last half-decade.\n“Ripple wants to embrace regulation. And when regulation is clear and consistently applied it does result in a predictable outcome,” the company’s general counsel, Stu Alderoty, told CoinDesk in a recent phone interview.\nThis, however, hasn’t been the case in the U.S., he said.\n“Other jurisdictions made pretty significant advances,” Alderoty said, denying that a relocation would beregulatory arbitrage, the corporate practice of taking advantage of differing regimes. In other jurisdictions, “there is a high degree of comfort that the regulator won’t say [XRP] is a security one day,” he explained.\nThe company’s reasons to consider moving out are “general frustration, and the maturity of other jurisdictions parading that regulation clarity,” he said, adding that for Ripple, “it would be irresponsible not to explore those opportunities.”\nTo be clear, Ripple hasn’t committed to moving out of the U.S. definitively. Its leadership may just be saber-rattling in hopes of motivating regulatory agencies like the SEC to take action. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Ripple will stay headquartered in the U.S. even if the SEC continues its business as usual.\nAlderoty indicated Ripple would remain compliant with U.S. regulations and likely continue doing business in the country. The specific benefits Ripple would gain by moving out remain unclear, as is why Ripple would move out of the U.S. now.\nThe SEC’s future focus is itself unclear. Current Chairman Jay Claytonintends to step downbefore President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January. Biden will get to nominate a new chair, shaping the agency’s course for the next several years.\nCompared to therebellious figuresof theearly Bitcoin community,Ripple, founded in 2012, looked like your straight-laced aunt.\n“ForBitcoin, the goal was to create a decentralized currency and ledger, independent from any government or central operator. For Ripple, the goal was to create a decentralized ledger that could work with and improve the foundation of today’s payment systems,” Larsen said in a 2015interviewwith fintech maven Chris Skinner.\nDuring that era, the main category of regulation that preoccupied digital currency businesses was the kind designed to prevent money laundering, sanctions violations and terrorism financing.\nAs early as 2014, Ripple introduced a feature that allows financial institutions tostop certain transactionson its network (which is now known as the XRP Ledger).\nXRP, the network’snative currency, could not be frozen, but dollars or euros issued by a bank on the ledger could, allowing Ripple’s corporate users (then referred to as “gateways”) to cooperate with law enforcement requests.\n“The individual freeze is intended primarily for complying with regulatory requirements,” the company said in anoticeat the time. “It also allows gateways to freeze individual account issuances in order to investigate suspicious activity. These features allow gateways to better operate in compliance of laws and regulations.”\nNevertheless, the following year Ripple was hit was one by of the industry’s first high-profile enforcement actions.\nThe U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)finedthe company $700,000 for failing in its early days to register as a money services business (MSB) and to implement an anti-money laundering program.\nThe company cooperated with FinCEN andagreedto make “certain enhancements” to the Ripple Protocol “to appropriately monitor all future transactions” and regular compliance audits.\nMore recently, following the initial coin offering (ICO) boom of 2017, an additional type of regulation has come into play for the crypto markets: securities laws. And this area has proven trickier to navigate for Ripple.\nIn 2018, a group of investorssuedRipple, alleging the company’s periodic sales of XRP were unregistered issuances of securities. The case is now in the U.S. District Court of Southern California. In October, Judge Phyllis J. Hamiltondismissedmost of the plaintiffs’ claims but left three, on which the hearings will now proceed.\n“The lawsuit is a symptom of the absence of [regulatory] clarity in the U.S.” Alderoty said.\nIn the meantime, the SEC was becoming more aggressive in pursuing companies that sold tokens through ICOs. The agency effectively won its lawsuits againstTelegramandKik; while both suits resulted in settlements, the terms were generally favorable toward the SEC, making both companies pay fines for unregistered securities sales and, in the case of Telegram,putting an end to the project.\nTo be clear, Ripple did not conduct an ICO, but founders David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb and Arthur Britto “gifted” 80 billion XRP to the company, which then sold it to users. However, the climate for token-funded projects in general has been getting more and more threatening over the past two years in the U.S.\nWhile Ripple has long insistedit did not create XRP, it isthe largest holderof the cryptocurrency and has relied heavily on selling the asset. The company “would not be profitable or cash flow positive [without selling XRP],” Garlinghousetold the Financial Timesin February. Ripple is also active on the buy side: the company is regularly purchasing XRP “to support healthy markets.”\n“Ripple generates revenue from multiple sources, but as a private company we don’t break out the details,” Ripple spokesperson wrote to CoinDesk. “That said, Ripple does software enterprise sales – no different than Oracle or Salesforce. Ripple also has not sold XRP programmatically for over a year which is outlined in our quarterly markets reports.”\nIn previous years, Ripple sold XRP in two parallel ways: programmatically and over the counter (OTC). While the programmatic sales werepausedin 2019, the OTC sales went on. According to theXRP Markets Reportspublished quarterly by Ripple, during 2020, the company has sold a little more than $70 million worth of XRP.\nHence, resolving XRP’s legal status is crucial for the company.\n“Ripple put a lot of money in their regulatory work,” a source familiar with Ripple’s business told CoinDesk. “At the very minimum, they tried every means to push the SEC to issue the statement that XRP should not be regarded as a security.”\nHowever, that did not happen, and seeing the SEC crack down on other token projects “it would be hard for Ripple not to worry about that,” the source said.\nWith XRP occupying an important place on Ripple’s balance sheet, if the SEC or a prolonged legal action ultimately deems the token a security, it might shake up the company’s entire business model.\nMoving out of the U.S. won’t get Ripple out of the U.S. jurisdiction, Alderoty said, Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [10669.58, 10793.34, 10604.41, 10668.97, 10915.69, 11064.46, 11296.36, 11384.18, 11555.36, 11425.90, 11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49, 13950.30, 14133.71, 15579.85, 15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Today's Key News: ['By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss and Suzanne Barlyn NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar rose from 2-1/2-year lows on Friday, as European Union and British negotiators paused talks for a post-Brexit trade deal, weighing on sterling, though the greenback still posted its worst week in a month after investors shrugged off a weaker-than-expected U.S. employment report. In late trading, the dollar index rose 0.1% to $90.725 ahead of the weekend, climbing from its lowest level since April 2018. On the week, the index was down 1.3%, its largest weekly loss since early November. Britain and the European Union paused talks on Friday after failing to narrow differences sufficiently to reach a trade agreement, less than four weeks before Britain completes its Brexit journey out of the bloc. The negotiators, Britain\'s David Frost and the EU\'s Michel Barnier, said they would brief their leaders to seek new impetus for the talks. Upbeat announcements on COVID-19 vaccines have helped drive a rally in riskier currencies at the expense of the safe-haven dollar. The euro and Swiss franc, in contrast, were headed for their best week in a month against the dollar. The single European currency touched a 2-1/2-year high, while the Swiss franc rose to its highest in nearly six years. Data showed that U.S. non-farm payrolls increased by 245,000 jobs last month after rising by 610,000 in October. That was the smallest gain since the jobs recovery started in May. "The biggest development this afternoon has been what I\'m telling clients is a \'fakeout-breakout\' in pound sterling," said Toronto-based Erik Bregar, head of FX strategy for the Exchange Bank of Canada, referring to the possibility of a Brexit deal that is now on pause. "It makes me think about more downside afterwards." The renewed possibility that Congress might forge another U.S. fiscal stimulus package and enthusiasm about progress on the development of COVID-19 vaccines remain key drivers in foreign exchange, strategists said. Story continues The jobs data and surge in COVID-19 cases are unlikely to trigger a rush by the U.S. Federal Reserve to ramp up its bond-buying. Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Evans told reporters on Friday that the Fed could assess asset purchases in springtime, when there is more clarity on the economic outlook. U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday there was momentum behind talks on a coronavirus relief bill and that a bipartisan proposal could be the basis for relief negotiations. That should keep risk appetite higher. The euro has been one of the biggest winners from recent dollar weakness, breaking decisively above $1.20 this week. The single currency rose to $1.2177, its highest since April 2018, and was last down 0.2% at $1.2118. Against the Swiss franc, the dollar recovered to trade slightly higher at 0.8910 franc, after earlier dropping to a nearly six-year low of 0.8886 franc. The greenback was last down .06% at 0.8903. The dollar gained 0.3% against the yen to 104.15 yen. Sterling fell 0.2% against the dollar to $1.3423 after trade talks for a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union hit a snag ahead of the weekend.

It’s a perfect follow-up tolast week’s newsletteron the harmful legacy of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. Before you dig into it, let me remind you to check out this week’s Money Reimagined podcast. Related:Crypto Is Less Scary Than Halloween In this episode, Sheila Warren and I interview the newly reelected premier of Bermuda, David Burt, who is spearheading projects to use the island as a testing ground for stablecoins and to launch a communally-owned national digital bank. –Michael J. Casey With Halloween and the12th anniversaryof the Bitcoin white paper approaching, it’s an apt moment to consider a classic horror trope through a monetary lens. “Who are the real monsters?” Related:Blockchain Bites: Ripple's MoneyGram Pump, OKEx's Bitcoin Cash Plan, Bitcoin's Birthday FromMary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”toGeorge Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,”to Jordan Peele’s “Us,” some of the scariest tales suggest that “normal” people are more nefarious than the nominal bogeymen. This is a useful way to think about the allegedly abominable qualities of cryptocurrency when compared to the incumbent institutions it challenges – and thesupposedly safer visionsthey are now putting forth. Since CoinDesk is a family publication, I won’t go into the details of those gory fictional works. Besides, because there’s an element of farce here as well, I’ve got an even better seasonally appropriate metaphor: “The Munsters.” For the 99% of readers too young to remember, this was a 1960s sitcom about an eccentric family who live in a cobwebbed mansion and resemble iconic movie monsters. The patriarch, Herman Munster, is a dead ringer (ahem) for Frankenstein’s monster, his wife and father-in-law are vampires, his son a werewolf. They’re a friendly bunch but never quite understand why the neighbors act so strangely around them. The most important character for this discussion is Marilyn, Herman’s teenage niece. She isn’t a monster at all; she’s the archetypal Girl Next Door. The running gag is that the other Munsters pity Marilyn for her looks, and even she somehow blames herself when boyfriends run away screaming upon meeting her relatives. Just like Marilyn Munster, the Bitcoin network is a wholesome outlier among the frightening creatures of the legacy financial system. The cryotocurrency’s chief value proposition,censorship resistance, is not a radical departure from tradition as sometimes implied. On the contrary, it’s the way money’s been since the days ofcowrie shells. All Bitcoin did wasrestoreit for transactions over the internet. You go to a butcher shop, you hand a few banknotes to the guy behind the counter, he gives you a steak. No third party who thinks you should be eating soy instead can veto the transaction. That’s normal. What’s abnormal is busybody A pressuring intermediary B to prevent individuals C and D from transacting, even lawfully. Even more abnormal is moving to a world where every last C and D has no choice but to rely on a B and therefore lives at the mercy of the As. None of this is to say that intermediaries are going away, nor that they should. They can add value. The problem is having no choice but to use one, which makes them choke points to be exploited by scolds and tyrants. Possessed, like Linda Blair in “The Exorcist,” you might say. Another characteristicbitcoin(loyalists to other crypto tribes may substitute the asset of their choice) shares with older forms of money, and not the electronic kind that sits in your bank account, is that it is abearer asset. Like cash, once you lose it, it’s gone, and it’s the holder’s burden to keep it secure through careful storage of their cryptographic private keys. Yes, this is scary, as many crypto investors can attest. But also scary is cops seizing assets of people whohaven’t been charged with a crimeandputting the burden onthemto prove an asset wasn’t involved in a crime. What’s even more terrifying is moving to a world where ALL money is held at intermediaries who must comply with such a regime. In this context, the advantage of a bearer asset secured with public-key cryptography is that the authorities cannot unilaterally seize someone’s funds by subpoenaing a bank. They need the key holder to cooperate, even if under duress. As I’ve written before, this “claws back a modicum of power for the individual” from the lurking Leviathan. One more commonality with cash is that bitcoin requires no personally identifiable information to handle – at least, the basic open-source software doesn’t, even if regulated exchanges demand it. The pseudonymity of alphanumeric addresses, along with the aforementioned resistance to seizure and censorship, go a long way toward explaining the technology’s popularity among criminals and other unsavory types. “Current terrorist use of cryptocurrency may represent the first raindrops of an oncoming storm of expanded use,” warned a recentreportby a U.S. Department of Justice task force. The laundering of illicit funds, the report pointed out, “can be substantially easier when the movement of funds takes place online and anonymously.” That’s enough to give anyone goosebumps. But remember that the demand forlegibilityof financial flows is a modern phenomenon. The U.S. Bank Secrecy Act only just turned 50 (withmixed results at best, as Michael J. Casey wrote last week). Depending on how you define it, money has been around for as long as5,000 years. Legibility is the aberration. Legibility is an ongoing experiment. That experiment has spawned its own terrors. Consumers in today’s digital world must entrust sensitive personal data to an untold number of hackable organizations,Equifaxes-in-waiting. Even more chillingly, the powers-that-be want to double down. U.S. regulators recentlyproposed lowering the thresholdfor the “travel rule” to $250 from $3,000 for international money transfers. Under the travel rule, if you wire someone money, not only does your bank know yourname, account number and address, so must the recipient’s bank, and it keeps a record for five years. And if you receive money, there’s a chance the sender’s bank has your name and address as well. Perhaps this makes sense for high-roller transactions, but $250? Also, note that $3,000 in 1996,the year the travel rule was created, is equivalent to nearly $5,000in today’s dollars. So even if the regulators don’t follow through on their proposal to lower the threshold for international wires, it’s already been happening in slow motion, thanks to inflation. Every year the dragnet widens a bit automatically, just as it has for thecash transaction reportsbanks file to the government. The upshot is that, by default, more and more personal information is likely to be captured over time. And that brings us to the last way bitcoin is a return to form rather than a deviation, although this one is perhaps the most controversial. While its exchange rate with the dollar fluctuates wildly from minute to minute, over time bitcoin has appreciated mightily in value. To detractors, the short-term volatility makes it useless as a currency; to proponents, the long-term appreciation and hard supply cap make it the ideal currency, one thatincentivizes saving. They have a point. “A penny saved is a penny earned.” That’s normal. Or was – it’s the kind of thing you hear parents say in black-and-white sitcoms. “Stop whining about low interest rates, hoarder. It’syour patriotic dutyto blow your discretionary income at the mall or wager it onstonks, we need to keep the economy moving.” That’s the stuff of nightmares. – Marc Hochstein As the price of bitcoin has surged higher in recent months, a string of listed companies has announced they are engaging with the cryptocurrency. On Aug. 11, business intelligence firm MicroStrategybought a whopping $250 million worth of bitcoinbeforeadding another $175 millionon Sept. 15. Three weeks later, payments company Squareput $50 millioninto the cryptocurrency. Then, on Wednesday last week, U.K.-listed fintech firm Mode Global Holdings revealed a “significant purchase” of bitcoinfor treasury management purposes andPayPal confirmed it would enable bitcoin transactionson its payments app. In the first three cases, the companies essentially embraced the thinking of many bitcoin bulls, treating the cryptocurrency as a “digital gold” hedge with which to protect their liquid assets against future monetary stress. With PayPal, the action was likely more geared toward leveraging an anticipated rise in public demand for bitcoin. For all four, the announcements boosted the companies’ stock prices. There have essentially been two reactions to these moves. One camp saw them as smart, proactive steps to front-run a trend toward wider mainstream acceptance. That view holds that at least some amount of bitcoin belongs in everyone’s investment portfolio because it functions as a valuable, uncorrelated asset and that this is now of greater relevance as uncertainty grows around the future of the global financial system. The other camp saw it as a rather cheap, even cynical move to piggyback on bitcoin’s current rising price to boost the firm’s stock price. As of late Thursday, New York time, bitcoin was up 21% from the end of July and up 17% from two weeks earlier. A chicken-and-egg problem complicates the assessment of these two perspectives. These high-profile announcements were not neutral; they directly contributed to bitcoin’s price gains and elevated the conversation around its relevance in hedging strategies. In turn, that boosted these companies’ valuations – especially of MicroStrategy, whose bet was so large that the rising price in BTC materially increased its book value. But bitcoin is, of course, just one of a number of factors that will affect these companies’ share price, and a small one at that. So with that in mind... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 4.10% on Friday. Reversing a 1.14% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,652.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $19,550.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $19,751, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day low $18,701.0. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $19,023 and the second major support level at $18,598. Through the afternoon, Bitcoin briefly revisited $19,150 levels before sliding back into the deep red. The brief recovery had seen Bitcoin move back through the support levels before the 2 nd sell-off. Bitcoin fell back through the first and second major support levels to a late intraday low $18,600.0. Late in the day, however, Bitcoin moved back through the second major resistance level to end the day at $18,650 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Bitcoin Cash SV rose by 3.29% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA (-9.89%), Chainlink (-9.39%), Litecoin (-10.68%), and Ripple’s XRP (-12.07%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-5.43%), Ethereum (-7.93%), and Polkadot (-3.40%) also struggled. Crypto.com Coin saw a more modest 2.29% loss on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $589.96bn before falling to a Tuesday low $525.17bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $545.60bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 62.55% before rising to a Friday high 64.16%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.89%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.62% to $18,767.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $18,498.0 before rising to a high $18,795.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (-0.14%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.25%), and Polkadot (-0.30%) saw red to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up by 3.01% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $18,934 to bring the first major resistance level at 19,268 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $19,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $20,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $19,884. Failure to move through the $18,934 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,318 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$18,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $17,984.

ZECs removal is somewhat notable because the company invested in the Electric Coin Company, one of the creators of zcash, in 2016, and listed ZEC that October . ShapeShift has become increasingly cognizant of regulators, despite its founder once having a reputation as a rebel and libertarian . Formerly, the platform allowed crypto trading without any kind of account or login, but in September 2018 ShapeShift began requiring customers to reveal their identities to the exchange. Later that month, it faced scrutiny after a Wall Street Journal report alleged that ShapeShift had been widely used for money laundering (ShapeShift strongly refuted the claims ).

He explained to CoinDesk in a phone call that guidance from the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, basically says, you have to make sure you are taking reasonable steps from a cost-benefit analysis to stop the proceeds from crime from flowing through your institution. Because many cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin , make all transactions and balances public, he explained, working with blockchain surveillance firms like Chainalysis or Elliptic can be enough to be seen as taking reasonable steps. That said, privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies will be treated, Van Valkenburgh said, like someone who shows up at a bank with a large bag of cash. They may be subject to greater scrutiny or more thorough background checks (as possible examples). To my knowledge, FinCEN has fairly clearly articulated to regulated crypto companies that there is a way to comply, just as banks deal with cash, Van Valkenburgh said. Read more: SEC, CFTC, FinCEN Warn Crypto Industry to Follow US Banking Laws Though he also offered the caveat that a particular agency or a particular regulators zeal can be enough to discourage a company from engaging in a line of business, even if no action is taken against them. The Bank Secrecy Act is extremely broad. It affords prosecutors and regulators with a whole lot of powers, he said. That vagueness about our financial surveillance laws to me is problematic.

On Wednesday, it topped $18,000 for the first time since 2018. But JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon , speaking at the New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday, reiterated that bitcoin is “just not my cup of tea.” He also predicted governments will soon regulate it more stringently. We’ve heard this from Dimon in the past, and previously in much harsher terms than “not my cup of tea.” In September 2017, Dimon called bitcoin a “ fraud... worse than tulip bulbs ” and predicted it “isn’t going to work.” He also said that if JPMorgan ( JPM ) traders were trading cryptocurrency, “I would fire them in a second, for two reasons: It is against our rules, and they are stupid, and both are dangerous.” Three years later, JPM isn’t quite trading cryptocurrency, but it has warmed to the underlying technology in a number of ways. Jamie Dimon, chairman & CEO of JP Morgan Chase & Co., speaks during the Bloomberg Global Business Forum in New York City, New York, U.S., September 25, 2019. REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton Last year, JPMorgan created JPM Coin , a digital token for internal use by the bank’s institutional clients, and built out an internal blockchain unit (called Onyx) to oversee JPM Coin and blockchain pilots. Crypto purists pointed out that JPM Coin is hardly a true cryptocurrency since it isn’t decentralized, but the move was still seen as the first step toward the bank embracing blockchain for enterprise. (Onyx CEO Umar Farooq wrote in his blog post announcing the launch of JPM Coin, “We have always believed in the potential of blockchain technology, and we are supportive of cryptocurrencies as long as they are properly controlled and regulated.”) Indeed, at the DealBook Summit on Nov. 18, Dimon said, “The blockchain itself will be critical to letting people move money around the world cheaper. We will always support blockchain technology.” In May, JPMorgan went a step further when it began allowing customer transfers to and from Coinbase and Gemini , two U.S.-based regulated crypto exchange sites. And Dimon on Wednesday acknowledged that some “very smart people” are investing in bitcoin these days. (Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones is one of them .) Story continues What it all adds up to is a softening of Dimon’s rhetoric on bitcoin that goes hand in hand with his bank’s gradual cozying to cryptocurrency and blockchain. Dimon is also increasingly willing to comment on what’s going on in the space: last year, in an interview with Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer, Dimon questioned Facebook’s digital currency Libra : “Will they follow banking rules or KYC, BSA, AML [know your customer, Bank Secrecy Act, and anti-money laundering rules], or will they not? But they obviously want to serve their clients, and that’s fine. I also want to be able to serve their clients, too. We would like to do some of it too, ourselves, and we don’t always want to be forced into someone else’s ecosystem.” That suggested Dimon would like to build out more of JPMorgan’s own crypto and blockchain ecosystem, and signs still point to the bank continuing to do that. — Daniel Roberts is an editor-at-large at Yahoo Finance and closely covers bitcoin and blockchain.

Today's Key News: ['Alexander Vinnick, the Russian man who founded and ran the now-defunct Bitcoin exchange service BTC-e, has beensentencedto five years in prison. A Paris court has found Vinnick guilty of money laundering and has ordered him to pay €100,000 (US$121,000) in fines. Vinnick was arrested in Greece back in 2017 under an international warrant issued by the US Department of Justice and was extradited to France earlier this year.\nThe Justice Department accused Vinnick of operating BTC-e as a front for a massive money laundering operation that accepted stolen funds from cyberattacks. Security firm Wizsec previously linked his private BTC-e accounts to funds stolen fromMt. Gox. If you’ll recall, around $480 million worth of Bitcoins disappeared from the exchange service back in 2014 due to, as Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles called them, "weaknesses in the system."\nThe US DOJ charged Vinnick with 17 counts of laundering up to $4 billion since the exchange was founded in 2011. Meanwhile, French prosecutorschargedhim for “extortion, conspiracy and harming automatic data-processing systems.” French authorities believe he helped create the ransomware “Locky,” which was spread through email and was used to attack French businesses and organizations between 2016 and 2018. At least 20 entities in the country ended up paying ransom money in Bitcoin to get their networks freed.\nVinnik’s side argued in court that he was only a technical operator carrying out instructions from BTC-e’s directors. While the court still ended up convicting him for money laundering, it’s hardly the worst-case scenario for Vinnick. According toZDNet, French prosecutors were only able to prove one of the 14 charges brought against him, and it wasn’t the one involving Locky. That means he was able to avoid the 10-year sentence and the €750,000 fine the prosecutors had requested.', 'Alexander Vinnick, the Russian man who founded and ran the now-defunct Bitcoin exchange service BTC-e, has beensentencedto five years in prison.

The average level of the funding rate across major exchanges has risen sharply from 0.023% to a five-month high of 0.087% in the past 48 hours, according to data source Glassnode . Rising funding rates have in the past been associated with a larger portion of the market utilizing leverage via perpetuals, Matthew Dibb, CEO of Stack Funds, told CoinDesk. If we see continued overleveraging in the derivatives market, bitcoin will be increasingly volatile in the short term. Related: Bitcoin Breaks $19K, New All-Time High Seems Imminent Calculated every eight hours, the funding rate in effect reflects the cost of holding long positions. The metric is used by exchanges offering perpetuals (futures contracts with no expiry) as a mechanism to balance the market and guide perpetual prices toward the spot price. The funding rate is positive (or longs pay shorts) when perpetuals trade at a premium to the spot price. As such, a very high funding rate is widely considered a sign of leverage being excessively skewed to the bullish side, or overbought conditions, as noted on Twitter by market analyst Joseph Young. In such situations, a pullback or consolidation can trigger an unwinding of longs, leading to a deeper drop and a pick up in price volatility. The high funding rate can cause somewhat of a shakeout due to increasing margin liquidations, Dibb said. Holding longs at elevated costs is attractive only if a bull run continues without pauses. Historical data validates Dibbs analysis of the market. Related: XRP Price Surges to 2-Year High as Airdrop Frenzy Builds Bitcoins rally from July lows near $9,000 ran out of steam near $12,400 on Aug. 17 as the average funding rate surged from 0.008% to 0.078%. The cryptocurrency fell back to $10,000 in early September. Story continues Similarly, the recovery rally from March lows below $4,000 ran out of steam near $10,000 in early June with a sudden rise of the funding rate to 0.123%. While the funding rate has risen in the past 48 hours, its still short of the peak seen in June. Further, the uptick may have been partly fueled by liquidity providers hedging sell positions in the spot market by buying long positions in the futures/perpetuals, according to Patrick Heusser, a senior cryptocurrency trader at Zurich-based Crypto Broker AG. In other words, the latest rise in funding rates may not be entirely retail-driven.

Its a first indication that leveraged [traders] are starting to shoot over the target, Heusser told CoinDesk. Bitcoins implied volatility is already rising with the one-month gauge currently hovering at 77%, the highest level since July 8, according to data source Skew. That means the options market is pricing in a rise in volatility over the next four weeks and looks to be preparing for a temporary disruption to the steep rally.

Lucas Huang, head of growth at decentralized exchange Tokenlon, noted that from a retail trading perspective, “an 80% increase in bitcoin price over only two months might be a profit too tempting not to take.”\nMeanwhile, another signal may be coming from how Wall Street views the prospects of one particularly large buyer in recent months.

Longer term, we can expect these moves to become less frequent as institutional funds continue surging into the market and the volatility declines further.”\nYet in the near term for technical analysts, the latest price action for bitcoin represents a continuing narrative of lower highs on the daily chart. That signals weakening buyer interest in the midst of increasing daily sell volume.\nShould buyers fail to push prices above $18,600, a likely spell of further downside may break out as the short-term trend flips from bullish to bearish.\nOther notable cryptocurrencies are also suffering, including ether,XRPandlitecoin.

The rollout begins next week, and it will likely be quite difficult. “Although the NHS is well versed in delivering vaccines (it delivers around 15 million flu vaccines per year as an example), the Pfizer/BioNTech candidate has well flagged characteristics that make it more difficult to deliver,” said Dr. Adam Barker, health analyst at Shore Capital. This is because the vaccine needs to be stored at -70C, a bit colder than your average freezer, and delivered in special delivery containers filled with dry ice, which is frozen carbon dioxide, which sublimates. DHL, will help in the logistics of the delivery throughout the country with its “Medical Express” service. The UK has ordered 40 million doses for 20 million people over the course of this year and next. Batch testing has already been completed for the first 800,000 doses. According to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the vaccine will not be mandatory. Bitcoin Back Above $19,000 Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is back above $19,000, having gained over 11% in the past week. The move higher in the crypto space is coinciding with a strong selloff in the US Dollar (NYSEARCA:UUP), down 4% in the last month. Dominance of the original cryptocurrency compared to the rest the market is now around 62%, slightly down from the peak of 70% hit in 2019 prior to the 2017 run to previous highs just below $20,000.

Says Walter, “The good news is that Financial Reliance offers a way to recover scammed or stolen bitcoin lost to crypto scam, bitcoin scam or online trading scam.” Pelosi, Schumer, Restart Negotiations at $908 Billion House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumerhave agreedon a $908 billion coronavirus bailout bill as the starting point for future negotiations. No official word on what Republican leadership thinks about this yet. Meaning, the next bailout bill will almost certainly top $1 trillion, and probably much more than that. Congress has until December to pass a spending bill or shut down parts of the government, so the next bailout could be ironed out as soon as next week. Schumer and Pelosi spoke about the spirit of compromise while discussing the gargantuan spending plans. “In the spirit of compromise, we believe the bipartisan framework introduced by Senators yesterday should be used as the basis for immediate bipartisan, bicameral negotiations. Of course, we and others will offer improvements, but the need to act is immediate and we believe that with good-faith negotiations we could come to an agreement.” There is no second stimulus check in the deal, though it is likely this will be added in. 123,797 Gun Background Checks for Cyber Monday Lots of gun purchases on cyber Monday this year.

What effects will there be when the traditional financial services combine with decentralized financial DeFi? DMEX platform securitizes the mining power of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Filecoin. Different NFT corresponds to different mining power. Thus, fixed mining machines and mining power could circulate in the market; the mining power owners could sell or pledge them to obtain liquid funds. It is a good thing for miners to put their fixed assets into circulation. But, this is not the only problem that miners or investors are facing. They also have other concerns, such as the unfairness and opacity of mining power institutions. At present, the majority of mining machines are in the form of pledge to the mining camps, the actual owners of mining machines can only know their own income through the information from the mining camps, and then passively accept. Without supervision of any third party, the credibility of the information provided by mining camps has always been in doubt.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $18,254 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,574 into play. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $18,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $18,887 and resistance at $19,000 would likely come into play. Failure to move back through the $18,254 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,941 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $17,621.

Announced Tuesday, the Cordite Society, a co-operative registered in the U.K., released the XDCcrypto token on public Corda, the open-source version of R3’s network. The new regulation-friendly cryptocoin will open the door, say its creators at Cordite, to various decentralized finance (DeFi) applications running on Corda’s distributed ledger technology (DLT). R3 began life as a pay-to-join DLT consortium of big banks, which over time realized the value of hosting a large developer community and created the open-source Corda Network alongside the commercial version of the software. Related:Around 100 Italian Banks Are Officially on a Blockchain In fact, the idea of a “Corda Coin”was floatedat last year’s CordaCon, the annual developer gathering, but only as a research project at that time. Now a reality, the Cordite Society will be minting the first run of 1 million XDC to lubricate applications on Corda. This cooperative is taking advantage of existing U.K. legal structures for mutual societies, a provision also used by DeFi risk mitigation platformNexus Mutual. “XDC is a digital currency in its own right,” said ex-RBS banker and Cordite CEO Richard Crook. “It is issued as an exchange token to Cordite Society members, and as it’s minted or created, will be evenly distributed among those cooperative society members.” The XDC and Cordite Society announcement is timed to coincide withthis year’s CordaCon event. R3 did not return requests for comment by press time.

Firms participating in the Cordite decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) will have compliance baked in, Crook added, since R3 designed the Corda network such that each node represents a legal entity, identified by a trusted identity certificate. This ensures that XDC meets the G20-sanctioned Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards on digital assets to deal with anti-money laundering (AML) risks, a challenge that Ethereum-based DeFi projects continue to be unable to address, Crook said. “Regulators have set the requirements for what a digital currency needs to be, and that’s exactly where XDC fits in,” said Crook. “It meets the requirements of most jurisdictions as a digital currency and is therefore a step ahead. We’re a next-generation Bitcoin or XRP.” In addition, Crook said the XDC code will pave the way for things like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to run on Corda (especially since federal regulators in the U.S. recently announced that national banks can hold reserves for stablecoin issuers), and also allow for what he called “a cleaned-up” expansion of DeFi. “Anything in finance needs to solve the know-your-customer identity problem out of the box, as well as provide privacy between the parties that are transacting,” said Crook. “With many DeFi projects to date, if the technology doesn’t solve that, they seemingly ignore those requirements and wait for regulators to give chase.” The XDC system, with its reliance on the U.K.’s mutual societies legal structure, shows that the core tenets of DeFi are actually centuries old, said Crook.

And that’s why we are showing that with XDC you can mix the legal and the technology components to solve this DeFi requirement set.” U.K.-based institutional crypto player BCB Prime Services (which works with Bitstamp, Coinbase, Galaxy and Kraken) will provide OTC liquidity and custody services for XDC. “A globally scalable ‘currency’ use case of cryptocurrencies has been elusive in over a decade of innovation in this space,” Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie, founder and CEO, BCB Group, said in a statement. “One of the barriers has been closer alignment with existing systems of money, regulations and government, in a way which still preserves the decentralized ethos of the asset class. The XDC digital currency is one of a tiny handful of projects which meets all these complexity criteria and I’m excited to back this project from all angles.” • R3 Corda Network Set to Go DeFi With XDC Digital Currency • R3 Corda Network Set to Go DeFi With XDC Digital Currency... - Reddit Posts (Sample): []...

Approval Imminent Amidst a Virus Surge', 'A startup called Core Scientific announced this week that it hasraised$23 million to expand its cryptocurrency mining operations. The company, based in Bellevue, Wash., is already running crypto mines in North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky, and plans to open more before long.\nIt’s not hard to understand why. Right now, a single Bitcoin—the digital mining equivalent of a gold nugget—is worth around $20,000. Mining a single Bitcoin block brings a reward of 6.25 of them, or about $125,000.\nIf Core Scientific’s mining ventures are successful, the company will not just make a lot of money. It will also help to repatriate crypto production to the United States, where Bitcoin got its start.\nThe recent resurgence in crypto mining feels like a good-news story. Mining companies like Core Scientific are in a position to make money and create jobs in rural areas, while also ensuring more Bitcoin—which is becoming a strategic asset—ends up in American hands.\nBut there are also reasons for caution. The last crypto-mining boom promised similar benefits but resulted in fly-by-night companies leaving a trail of scams and environmental degradation in their wake. Will the outcome be any different this time?\nMining cryptocurrency is different from conventional mining in some obvious ways. There’s no excavating and hauling ore. And the tools of the trade are not pickaxes and dynamite. Instead, crypto miners rely on two things to make a living: custom-designed computer chips and a torrent of electricity. A crypto-mining operation looks like this:\nIn order to find a digital nugget, crypto miners pit their computers against others around the world in a race to solve complex math problems. The computer that solves the problem broadcasts the solution to others on the network and, in doing so, adds a block tothe blockchain—a tamperproof ledger that serves as a public record of transactions. For their trouble, the owner of the winning computer pockets the “block reward,” which is 6.25 Bitcoins in the case of Bitcoin plus transaction fees. The process is repeated every 10 minutes or so.\nIn the early days, when it was still viable to mine Bitcoin with a home laptop, a large proportion of crypto mining took place in the U.S. But as the computer power needed to solve the math problems increased, Chinese mining operations came to dominate.\nThe Chinese miners enjoyed two advantages: easy access to cheap power, including in places like Mongolia, and a domestic manufacturing base capable of cranking out so-called mining rigs—computers with custom chips made just for mining. While there are other mining operations around the globe, China remains far and away the leader, as can be seen inthis chartfrom the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance:\nNow, some U.S. companies believe they can wrest some of the mining pie back from China. In the case of Core Scientific, it has struck arrangements for cheap power across five sites, spanning over 100 acres in total, in Dalton, Ga., Marble, N.C., and Calvert City, Ky. The firm has also cut deals with Chinese manufacturers to get first dibs on the newest mining rigs, and plans to mine not just Bitcoin but so-called alt coins like Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11425.90, 11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49, 13950.30, 14133.71, 15579.85, 15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The skeptics had been proven wrong.\nFinixio has been keeping a close eye on this story for years. The media company publishes a wide variety of content and has done for several years. As a result their expertise in the area is second to none, and they are making their forecast on its future....\nThe History\nIn 2017, Bitcoin rocked the market by reaching an unforeseen peak of $19,783. This made professionals and amateurs alike stand at attention and start to take cryptocurrencies seriously.\nThe dream didn’t last long. Bitcoin was still an extremely volatile asset and the currency crashed spectacularly shortly after. It lost 25% of its value in only a day and by late 2018 it was valued under $4,000. There was no shortage of financial skepticism regarding its future.\nBut Bitcoin had been worth only hundreds in 2016 and mere cents in 2008. Despite its colossal fall, it had stabilized at a price that would still make early adopters unbelievable profits.\nThe Present\nEighteen days before the third year anniversary of its previous high, Bitcoin reached a value of $19,857.03. It began the year around $7100 and by October, it was already exhibiting an amazingly profitable year.\nRenewed interest was sparking, and financial experts had started making amazing predictions from late spring. By the summer it was becoming clear that crypto and digital currency would have a huge role to play in the new global economy.\nBTC started November at $14,000 and ended it with a bang. Monday’s peak was followed by an expected devaluation. By Thursday trading had gone down slightly with exchange data showing only $990 million in trades versus Wednesday’s $1.3 B and November $1.5 B average.\nHowever, this time around people are not expecting a crash. In fact, both enthusiastic and cautious investors are predicting significant gains for Bitcoin in the next two years.\nA Volatile Asset\nEstimates vary wildly as to where the price of Bitcoin will land. Some say that it may reach $60,000 by next year, others believe it might even break $100,000.\nBut Finixio’s own Adam Grunwerg warns that Bitcoin is still a very volatile asset that’s likely to keep experiencing ebbs and flows. In the next year we could see fluctuations as big as 20-30% in BTC value.” As a partner who has traded the rise and fall and rise of the currency over many years, he has the experience to back this up.\nHowever, crypto trading expert Adam is largely optimistic about the future “These fluctuations are not going to be enough to slow it down. Bitcoin will likely break $50,000 in 2021.”\nThe market trend is clear. Despite Bitcoin’s variability, new bull cycles see the highs go higher and the lows get higher as well. This is to say that Bitcoin keeps breaking its previous records and stabilizing at higher prices after its drops.\nWhere is the Trust Coming From?\nThe reason for investors’ newfound faith in crypto has to do with who is doing the investing. In 2017, Bitcoin’s price was driven up by individual investors who believed in the future and value of the technology. At the time though, Bitcoin was not a reputable investment. It was not backed by any assets or by a government and lack of mainstream support was adding to its risk.\nIn 2020, the rise of Bitcoin isdriven by institutional investment. Large hedge funds and publicly traded companies are driving this bull cycle and they don’t present the same reputational drawbacks that retail investors do.\nRecently, Square and Paypal have added c Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49, 13950.30, 14133.71, 15579.85, 15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

So for crypto traders, why not use the data to get an edge? CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole talked to Philip Gradwell, chief economist at blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis, about the data points he thinks are most important for crypto traders. Below is a condensed list, though Godbole’sfull articleincludes a link to a video of the original interview.

So an uptick is a sign of trend strength. 3)Interexchange flows.Net flow from crypto-to-fiat exchanges to crypto-to-crypto exchanges suggests the market is dominated by stablecoin traders. In this scenario, a rise in the stablecoin’s issuance could be considered a leading indicator of an impending price rally. 4)Liquidity.A sustained rise in the number of illiquid entities – defined as those that send less than 25% of the assets it receives – is a sign of a strong long-term holding sentiment, and thus a bullish indicator. 5)Value transfers across blockchains.The metric represents usage of the blockchain and is typically accompanied by a rise in the transaction count. “When there’s greater usage of a cryptocurrency there’s more demand, and that drives the price up,” Gradwell said. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Five On-Chain Indicators Investors Should Follow Bitcoin is eyeing its biggest weekly gain in six months. The cryptocurrency is currently trading near $13,000, representing a 13% appreciation on a week-to-date basis, the most since April. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s share of bitcoin’s futures market has increased alongside the price rally. As of Thursday, bitcoin futures contracts worth $790 million were open on the CME, according to data source Skew. That’s 15.8% of the global open interest tally of $5 billion – the second highest contribution among major exchanges. The exchange’s contribution to global open positions has jumped from 10% to 15.8% this month alone, indicating increased institutional participation. From a technical analysis perspective, the focus is on the weekly close (Sunday, 23:59 UTC). If the cryptocurrency finishes above $12,476 (August high), a bullish breakout would be confirmed on the weekly chart. That looks likely, as demand for the cryptocurrencyis strong. A breakout would strengthen the case for a rally to $14,000 before the year-end. – Omkar Godbole Read More:CME’s Rise in Bitcoin Futures Rankings Signals Growing Institutional Interest Bitcoin (BTC):Hedge fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones II tells CNBC that bitcoin rally isonly in “first inning.” Tether (USDT):Chinese authoritiescrack down on gambling sitesusing dollar-linked stablecoin.

Related:Gold Lags Far Behind Bitcoin as Vaccine Optimism Buoys Markets According to several analysts, the climbing value of bitcoin is also giving the world’s oldest cryptocurrency an increasing use as value storage for lending, both from centralized players and in decentralized finance, or DeFi. Since November 2019,the amount of bitcoin “locked” in DeFi, for example, has skyrocketed from 1,422 to 174,673 BTC, a 12,183% increase. “Lending has gained popularity in 2020 with players like Nexo, BlockFi and others with strong growth throughout the year,” said Jean Baptiste Pavageau, partner at quant trading firm ExoAlpha. “DeFi also allows the retail market to access those popular lending solutions thanks to the Ethereum network.” “It actually provides a strong use case for BTC beyond the digital gold narrative, as it’s used as a pooling and yielding instrument,” said Vishal Shah, an options trader and founder of crypto exchange Alpha5. Shah also speculates that all this bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain may decrease the separation between blockchains. “It may actually create a chain-agnostic paradigm.” Ether(ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was up Monday trading around $462 and climbing 4% in 24 hours as of 21:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET).

That number of transactions was first experienced three years ago during the 2017-2018 crypto market bubble. Token swapping and stablecoins are a big part of this, as 35% of the network’s transactions are on Uniswap (18.93%) and involvetether(16.42%) on Monday, according toEth Gas Station. “I think this is proof of the continued traction that Ethereum has been seeing as a platform during the second half of 2020,” noted Ben Chan, vice president of engineering for oracle provider ChainLink. Uniswap’s transaction dominance in particular is a bullish sign on decentralized finance, or DeFi, according to Chan. “Unlike tether, which can move to other chains, DeFi is more sticky because assets and components of the ecosystem in themselves perpetuate a network effect.” Digital assets on theCoinDesk 20are all green Monday.

A choppy end to the day, however, saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to sub-$19,400 before ending the day at $19,450 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the recovery to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 5.85% to lead the way down once more. Cardano’s ADA (-3.08%), Binance Coin (-1.70%), Chainlink (-1.17%), and Litecoin (-1.24%) also struggled. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.95%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.14%), Ethereum (+0.46%), and Polkadot (+6.00%) bucked the trend on the day. For the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $545.05bn before rising to a Tuesday high $566.22bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $554.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 64.21% before rising to a Tuesday high 64.85%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.80%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.50% to $19,361.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $19,481.0 before falling to a low $19,317.8. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 0.97% to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Chainlink and Ripple’s XRP were down by 2.19% and by 2.16% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $19,379 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,687 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $19,607.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,700 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $19,916 and resistance at $20,000 could come into play. Failure to move back through the $19,379 pivot would bring the first major support level at $19,150 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $18,842.

Congressional negotiators were "closing in on" a $900 billion COVID-19 aid bill, lawmakers and aides said on Wednesday, with the tone the most positive it\'s been in months. Across the Atlantic, the European Union\'s chief executive said a deal with the UK was nearer, although success wasn\'t guaranteed. "As the world gets more optimistic about the outlook for growth in 2021, the dollar has softened," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at broker CMC Markets in Sydney. "Further weakening of the dollar is on the cards." The euro traded at $1.21945 early in the Asian day, after reaching $1.22120 on Wednesday, the strongest since April 2018. The pound bought $1.3500 having risen to $1.3553 the previous session for the first time since May 2018. The Federal Reserve on Wednesday vowed to keep funnelling cash into financial markets until the U.S. economic recovery is secure, a promise of long-term help that fell short of some investors\' hopes of an immediate move to shore up a recent pandemic-related slide. The dollar index jerked higher after the Fed\'s announcement, but then sank back towards the day\'s low of 90.126, a level not seen since April 2018. The greenback was little changed at 103.475 yen, another safe haven currency. The Australian dollar was also largely steady at 75.807 U.S. cents, while its New Zealand peer slipped 0.1% to 71.05 U.S. cents. Bitcoin traded at $21,342 after smashing through the $20,000 barrier for the first time overnight, and extending as high as $21,420 on Thursday.

(PYPL) shares surged 5.5% to a new all-time high (ATH)Wednesdayafter the digital payments company announced it plans to introduce cryptocurrencies to its platform. The firm said that it will initially allow U.S. customers to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin within their PayPal wallet in the coming weeks, followed by the ability to purchase goods and services using cryptocurrencies by early next year. Management believes the company’s move into digital currencies will significantly increase their utility. “Consumers will be able to instantly convert their selected cryptocurrency balance to fiat currency, with certainty of value and no incremental fees,” the company said,per MarketWatch. PayPal also indicated that it wants to work alongside central banks and regulators to help share digital currencies’ role in the future of online payments. As of Oct. 22, 2020, PayPal stock has a $250 billion market capitalization and is up nearly 100% on the year. In the past three months alone, the shares have added over 20%. By comparison, over the same periods, the Nasdaq Composite has risen 28% and 7.27%, respectively. From a valuation standpoint, the stock trades at a 42% premium to its five-year average forward earnings multiple of around 32 times. Barclays analyst Ramsey El-Assal raised the bank’s price target on PayPal yesterday to $235 from $228 and reiterated his ‘Overweight’ rating on the shares. EL-Assal sees COVID-related tailwinds supporting the company as e-commerce sales remain at elevated levels, despite easing slightly quarter-over-quarter. Meanwhile, Wolfe Research’s Darrin Peller told clients in a research note that the move into cryptocurrency “represents among the more import steps for crypto utility/normalization we have seen in years.” Elsewhere on Wall Street, analysts remain overwhelmingly bullish on the stock. It receives 34 ‘Buy’ ratings, 3 ‘Overweight’ ratings, and 6 ‘Hold’ ratings. Only one analyst currently recommends selling the shares. Price targets range from a Street high $290 to a low of $200, with the average consensus forecast pegged at $220. This implies a 3% premium to Wednesday’s $213.07 close. PayPal shares trended sharply high between mid-March and early August but have remained rangebound since. Therefore, yesterday’s breakout on heavy volume to a fresh ATH may trigger further buying in subsequent trading sessions. Those who position for additional gains should consider using a fast period moving average, such as a 15-day SMA, as a trailing stop. To implement this exit strategy, remain in the trade until the share price closes below the indicator.

Twelve months later, as the charts below show, global financial markets have been on a roller coaster like no other. JANUARY JITTERS The coronavirus wasn\'t even the first thing that spooked the markets this year. The tone was set when an escalation of an oil market turf war between Saudi Arabia and Russia sent oil prices crashing more than 5% on Jan 8. Just days later, though, China\'s stock markets began to fall as a cluster of more than 50 pneumonia cases in Wuhan city sparked a warning from the WHO that there could be a new SARS-like virus. Oil continued to fall as traders began worrying about a drop in Chinese demand, but other major markets were not seriously affected until mid-February, when it became clear the virus was rapidly spreading out of Asia. Cue carnage. From Feb. 20 to March 24, as Europe\'s big economies locked down, MSCI\'s 49-country world share index lost more than a third of its value, haemorrhaging a staggering $18 trillion. (Graphic: Trillion dollar carnage - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/gjnpwkjqqpw/Pasted%20image%201608259599744.png) Wall Street\'s S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq slumped 35%, 38% and 30% respectively. London and Frankfurt\'s internationally exposed FTSE and DAX markets dropped 35% and 40%. Japan\'s Nikkei fell 30%. Chinese stocks saw a more modest 16% drop. "In retrospect, I felt I was one of the villagers in the boy who cried wolf story," said Ben Inker, head of asset allocation at investment firm GMO. "We had seen a number of potential pandemics never really develop ... we were assuming that this was going to be contained, and when it didn\'t we understood why the world was freaking out." For reference, the record quarterly drop for Wall Street was 40% in 1932, the onset of the Great Depression. The fact that the S&P and Dow were at record highs in mid-February made the crash this time seem more brutal.

What Happened: Meanwhile, 24-hour volume for Bitcoin stood at $31.59 billion on Friday. The top BTC/USD exchanges Coinbase Pro and Kraken saw volumes of $104.97 million and $37.62 million, respectively, at press time, as per CoinMarketCap data, while, itBit’s 24-hour volume stood at $6.8 million — dropping in line with the wider market. The significant uptick in volume on the exchange follows its partnership with PayPal on the financial technology company's cryptocurrency foray. Why It Matters: The Peter Thiel-co-founded PayPal began offering Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Litecoin (LTC) access to its customers in late October. This month PayPal said it would add cryptocurrency services to its Venmo app by the first half of 2021 and also allow international users to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency by the same time frame. PayPal CEO Daniel Schulman said the move was “beginning of the opportunities” in relation to the company’s cryptocurrency foray and said it would work with regulators to “accept new forms of digital currencies.” Price Action: PayPal shares closed 0.25% lower at $188.62 on Friday.

The S-1 is “expected to become effective” after the SEC completes its review, the company said. The timing of the filing is no accident. Bitcoin ( BTC ) surged past the $20,000 mark on Wednesday to a new all-time-high and has continued to climb, reaching close to $24,000. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap is up 220% in 2020, driven by a combination of institutional investment and public buy-in from consumer-facing payments companies like PayPal and Square . Coinbase caters to the retail side with its main exchange, and allows for more advanced trading (like limit orders) on its Coinbase Pro product. It currently supports more than 40 cryptocurrencies in the U.S. The company launched in 2012, cofounded by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam, and was most recently valued at $8 billion. In July, the company said it has 35 million users in 100 countries . It has been called the Goldman Sachs of cryptocurrency—in part because of its high trading fees . The company is profitable—a rarity among recent tech unicorn listings —and has been for the past three years . Coinbase has become the go-to household name site for retail investors looking to buy cryptocurrency for the first time—if they have heard of any exchange at all. There are other exchanges in the U.S. (Gemini, Kraken), and globally (Binance, Huobi, OkCoin), but arguably none has the brand recognition that Coinbase has built. The Coinbase IPO would mark the first U.S. cryptocurrency company to go public, a major milestone for the maturity of the industry, and could be one of the hottest tech IPOs of 2021. SAN FRANCISCO, CA - SEPTEMBER 07: Coinbase Co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong speaks onstage during Day 3 of TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2018 at Moscone Center on September 7, 2018 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Steve Jennings/Getty Images for TechCrunch) The company has also been at the center of multiple controversies in 2020. In September, CEO Brian Armstrong issued a public memo declaring that he wants Coinbase to be an apolitical company where employees don’t discuss politics or social issues. The memo was reportedly a follow-up to an internal conflict that arose after Armstrong was unprepared, at an internal town hall, to answer a question about his stance on the Black Lives Matter movement. His memo was criticized by many inside and outside of tech, though found some supporters among venture capitalists. Story continues Last month, following the fallout of the Coinbase Memo, the New York Times reported on a handful of Black former employees who allege discriminatory treatment by the company. Coinbase put out a memo before the Times story was published in an attempt to get ahead of the story. It’s unclear whether these issues have hurt the company at all. “Coinbase was the first mover, and they've got such a moat, and they really have branded themselves as the mainstream place to go,” Jeff Roberts, author of a new book about Coinbase, “Kings of Crypto,” said on Yahoo Finance Live this week . “I know a lot of the crypto purists have objections with them, but as you said, the reality is, if anyone's going to buy crypto, the only company they've heard of is Coinbase. And that's been a huge benefit to them. For the more ideological people, they have other options. But for the average person who wants to buy a little bit of bitcoin, almost invariably, Coinbase is where they're going.” — Daniel Roberts is an editor-at-large at Yahoo Finance and closely covers bitcoin and blockchain.

When they were first introduced in the markets, everyone became seasoned crypto traders because the hassle and confusion weren\'t there anymore. We wanted to take our time to review Bitcoin Up so that you can make an informed decision about your investments. From the positive testimonials we read, we knew we wanted to learn more about it and see how it worked. What\'s Bitcoin Up? Bitcoin Up is a crypto auto-trading platform. It performs the live trades for you and can assess the market to determine the best deals for you. Of course, you\'ve got to be a member, so you need an account with funds. Story continues How Does It Work? Our review of Bitcoin Up was exhaustive. The process required us to use every feature and know that everything worked. With software engineers, business analysts, and crypto traders on the team, we all had a say in what we saw. Everyone was quite happy with the results. In fact, Bitcoin Up is a superb cryptocurrency auto-trading platform and can make people rich quickly. We are happy about this because more auto trading robots need to be on the market that is good. The goal is to help others gain financial freedom by being legitimate and helpful. Since Bitcoin Up uses AI and Machine Learning, the robots can assess the markets and start/finish trades for the user. You don\'t have any stress while earning a passive income from home. Try Bitcoin Up Free Today How to Use It We went through each of the steps we list below to make sure that it was going to be easy enough for anyone to do it. Just open your Bitcoin Up account, make your deposit, and then choose automated live trades. The robots take over to trade for you. When the session ends, we ended up with our capital and some profits. When you join and fund the account, you can then make trades on Bitcoin Up. The lowest deposit option for this software is $250, though you can add up to $15,000 in one go. Consider the steps that we list and followed when we tested Bitcoin Up: Register The first step is to create an account on Bitcoin Up. The process was fast because you only need a phone number, email address, and name. Of course, you also create a password or let the site do it for you. Demo Trades There is a demo trade feature on Bitcoin Up, which is excellent news. Crypto auto-trading platforms should provide a demo feature because that shows they are transparent. When you can see how the process works, you are more comfortable adding funds and taking on real trades (or letting the robot do it for you). The whole thing was flawless and enjoyable. Transferring Funds Before you can start live trades, you need to deposit your capital into the Bitcoin Up account. When we did this, there were many payment choices, such as Visa, Skrill, PayPal, and MasterCard. Since they\'re popular and offer many currency options, almost anyone in the world can use Bitcoin Up. We just transferred the base amount of $250. We feel that new investors should really start with the lowest investment choice. That way, they don\'t risk too much and can grow their capital. We do encourage each investor to try out the demo trading feature. It\'s so easy to use. Of course, there\'s a lot of information to gather here, and you\'re going to understand auto-trading much more when you\'re finished and ready for live trades. Live Trading We initially thought it would be hard to do the live trades, but it wasn\'t! In a sense, we just clicked to activate the robot, and the trades started for us. First, the robots had to scan the crypto market to find the best deals. This was done within seconds. When it found one, the system completed everything for us using our Bitcoin Up funds. It was quick, effortless, and perfect. Important Bitcoin Up Features Payouts We feel that the payout system is accurate and transparent. The company calculates it minus the fee, and you get your funds in your account right after the session has ended. Verification You do have to submit your account details to get them verified, but the process is automatic and fast. This is essential to make sure that everything is right and correct. Withdrawals No system is going to be any good if it doesn\'t allow you to withdraw your earnings. You can do so easily with Bitcoin Up. In fact, we got our money into our bank account 24 hours after we requested it. Everything is straightforward and easy to understand, too. Service Charge There is a service charge, which is a percentage taken from your profit immediately after the live session ends. However, that is the only one on the platform and seems legitimate to us. Customer Service We don\'t think you\'re going to have questions or problems, but you can contact someone from the staff 24/7. The team is excited about Bitcoin Up. We feel that it can be hard to understand protocols for cryptocurrency, but you don\'t need to when you use this software. You can get rich without any effort and let the robots do the work for you. Beginners might benefit from these helpful tips: Invest Smaller Amounts It\'s often best to invest a minimum of $250 at first. That way, you can learn more about the system while the money multiplies. It only took us a few days to triple that minimum amount, so you\'re going to see returns quickly. Withdraw Make sure that you\'re withdrawing your earnings after each live trade session. You can also save some to reinvest. Follow the Trends You\'re probably interested in the cryptocurrency market, so you should follow the trends. Since you are an investor now, it\'s helpful to know what\'s going on. Don\x92t Over-Invest Make sure that you\x92re not investing money that needs to go toward bills or is part of your life savings. There is a risk of losing the investment, and you don\x92t want to find yourself in financial hardship. Is there an app for Bitcoin Up? No, we couldn\x92t find a mobile app for phones and other devices. However, you don\x92t need it. The auto trading platform is accessible from a browser, which is on smartphones and laptops. The Verdict We were completely satisfied while using Bitcoin Up and find that it was an excellent experience. Therefore, we\'re recommending it to those who desire to earn a passive income and get rich. Bitcoin Up works well, and we tested every feature. We also used the live trade, made profits, and withdrew the earnings all without issue. The simple system is easy to use and impressive. Just spend a little bit of time at your computer, and you can earn money. >> Open an Account Today << FAQs Though we covered a lot in the review, here are a few questions we often get asked about. What\'s the success rate for Bitcoin Up? We spent a lot of time analyzing Bitcoin Up, and we can say the success rate is high for the transactions you make here. Have any celebrities endorsed Bitcoin Up? No, we found no information indicating that celebrities have used or endorsed this auto-trading platform. Still, we feel that some auto-traders use this as a gimmick to get you to use the system, so we aren\'t worried that Bitcoin Up doesn\'t have this. Can I withdraw everything in crypto? No, the earnings you make are first converted into your local currency and then sent to your bank. Is Bitcoin Up safe? Yes, we have confirmed that any communications on the site and data entered into the platform are secure and encrypted for your protection. Who should use Bitcoin Up?

It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $22,348.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $21,705, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $23,812.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $23.898, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at $23,805 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $24,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $11,733 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.29%), Crypto.com Coin (-2.11%), and Ripple’s XRP (-13.20%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Litecoin rallied by 9.40% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+4.56%), Chainlink (+3.95%), and Ethereum (+4.73%) also found strong support. Cardano’s ADA (+2.36%), and Polkadot (+0.85%) trailed the front runners on the day. At the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $671.47bn before sliding to a low $601.73bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $648.64bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 66.74% to a Tuesday high of 68.36%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 68.18%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.13% to $23,774.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $23,691.0 before rising to a high $23,853.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+1.76%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.62%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.18%), and Polkadot (+0.28%) found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 5.42% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $23,322 to bring the first major resistance level at $24,296 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $24,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $24,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $24,786. Failure to avoid a fall through the $23,322 pivot would bring the first major support level at $22,832 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$22,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $21,858.

(TSX.V:HIVE)(OTCQX:HVBTF)(FSE:HBF) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) is pleased to announce, subject to regulatory approval, that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “ Transaction ”) of unsecured debentures (the “ Debentures ”), for aggregate gross proceeds of USD$15,000,000 with U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (“ U.S. Global ”). The Debentures will mature on the date that is 60 months from the date of issuance, bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The Debentures will be issued at par, with each Debenture being redeemable by HIVE at any time, and convertible at the option of the holder into common shares (each, a “ Share ”) in the capital of the Company at a conversion price of CAD$3.00 per Share. Interest will be payable monthly and principal will be payable quarterly. In addition, U.S. Global will be issued 5.0 million common share purchase warrants (the “ Warrants ”). Each whole Warrant will entitle U.S. Global to acquire one common at an exercise price of CAD$3.00 per Share for a period of three years from closing. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Transaction for general corporate purposes and working capital. Mr. Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE, commented, “The Transaction is an excellent opportunity for HIVE to enhance liquidity, maintain momentum and deploy capital into additional miners and infrastructure. U.S. Global has recently sold shares of HIVE in order to redeploy capital back into HIVE. No shares have been sold by me personally. The purchase of an 8% debt instrument by U.S. Global is consistent with its investment criteria and assists HIVE by providing working capital for its growth strategy. The financing is being completed without the usual 6% broker fees, and the cost of capital is much less than the 16% cost of capital associated with leasing equipment for crypto mining.” Story continues The issuance of the Debentures is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and is expected to close on or about December 31, 2020. The issuance of the Debentures to U.S. Global Investors, Inc. is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”) as Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE is a director, officer and controlling shareholder of U.S. Global Investors, Inc. HIVE intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Company not listed on specific markets and the Transaction fair market value not exceeding 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Transaction was approved by the independent directors of HIVE and U.S. Global Investors, Inc. The Company expects to file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction less than twenty-one days prior to the closing of the Transaction, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances as the details of the Transaction and the participation by U.S. Global Investors, Inc. were not settled until shortly before the expected closing of the Transaction and the Company wished to complete the Transaction in an expeditious manner.

In a sign of persistent dip demand, sudden pullback to $17,200 seen following the breakout to fresh 34-month highs was quickly reversed. “Bitcoinwill now be setting its sights on the all-time high of $20,000,” Simon Peters, crypto asset analyst at multi-asset investment platform eToro, said in an email. “The last time bitcoin hit the $20,000 mark was in 2017 and retail investors piled in as they experienced crypto FOMO.” Intraditional markets, European shares and U.S. stock futures gained ground, and safe havens such as gold and the dollar weakened as investors continued to price in prospects of swift global recovery on potential coronavirus vaccines. Related:Irish Man Gets 3 Years in Prison for Stealing $2.5M in Crypto Through SIM Hacks Has betting on bitcoin become a crowded trade? That was the assessment of some 4% of global fund managers in a monthly survey published Tuesday by Bank of America, when asked to name the “most crowded trade.” The response “long bitcoin” ranked behind “long U.S. tech” (65%), “short U.S. banks” (11%), “long corporate bonds” (9%) and “long gold” (5%): A few things come to mind. 1) It’s hard to argue that “long bitcoin” is particularly crowded right now, given how many big investors have yet to assert that the trade has any merit at all. On Tuesday, Ray Dalio, CEO of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund,tweetedseveral “problems with bitcoin being an effective currency,” including its limited usability as a form of payment. “What am I missing?” Dalio wrote. (#CryptoTwitter hadplenty of responsesfor that.) Related:Deutsche Bank Says Investors Increasingly Prefer Bitcoin Over Gold as Inflation Hedge According Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantum Economics, price-chart patterns suggest that bitcoin was “due for a pullback a long time ago.” “But the fundamentals are firmly in control right now as increasingly large players are entering this tiny market,” Greenspan wrote Tuesday. In other words, people arejust starting to arrive. 2) If the trade is crowded, then a lot of investors must be overjoyed athow well it’s working outthis year. Bitcoin shot past $17,000 Tuesday, and then $18,000 early Wednesday, rising to levels not seen in three years and with prices up more than 150% year to date. That compares with 12% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks. This might be a sign the rally is overdone. But asdiscussed previously by First Mover, a lot of investment decisions are made on the basis ofbackward-looking track records. Few big banks have made a serious push into cryptocurrencies, but Germany’s Deutsche Bank has described bitcoin as the world’s best-performing asset in 2021. “If you knew 10,000 people who owned bitcoin, you could phone all of them and congratulate them on their success,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the cryptocurrency firm Diginex, wrote Tuesday. “Thing is, you don’t know 10,000 people who own bitcoin, you probably only know a handful. And they will all say the same thing: ‘I don’t own enough.'” 3) Market signals suggest that interest among big investors is growing, not plateauing – indicating there’s no shortage of traders looking to put more money into the trade. Openinterest in bitcoin futures has climbedto above $6 billion from $4 billion as recently as October, according to the data firm Skew. Even those amounts are still tiny fractions of bitcoin’s total market capitalization, currently about $325 billion. 4) The number of active bitcoin addresses recently climbed to about 1.2 million, but that’s still a touch below levels witnessed during bitcoin’s bull run of 2017, when prices surged to an all-time high near $20,000. According to the Norwegian cryptocurrency analysis firmArcane Research, “the number of active addresses has grown more organically in 2020, without a surging and dramatic spike as witnessed in late 2017.” “The increase in active addresses indicate that bitcoin is seeing increased usage and adoption,” Arcane wrote Tuesday in a report. “This is a bullish and healthy sign and underlines the strength of the current bull run.” 5) The reality is that nobody really knows how to value bitcoin. It’s an 11-year-old cryptocurrency, too short of a timeline to really evaluate what it might be worth in the future, especially when neither Federal Reserve nor private economists can agree on the likelihood of eventual runaway inflation from this year’s trillions of dollars of coronavirus-related stimulus, or on the impact of epochal changes like theshift to remote working. Bitcoin has no earnings, so it can’t be valued like a stock, and it has no yield, so it can’t be valued like a bond. The price is really just a function of how many people want to buy it, versus the amount that’s created every day by cryptocurrency miners. (By the way, that’s about 900 bitcoin per day, worth about $15.3 million at current prices.) Dalio argues that governments will “outlaw it and make it too dangerous to use” if bitcoin becomes too popular. But according to that same Bank of America fund-manager survey, some 3%-4% of global fund managers think bitcoin is the asset class most likely to outperform in 2021. (Emerging markets ranked first, followed by the S&P 500, oil and gold.) So roughly the same percentage of respondents see bitcoin prices climbing higher as those who see the trade as overcrowded. These are all just guesses about what the future holds, of course. ACitigroup analyst recently predicted the price could pass $300,000by the end of next year. If that’s the case, there’slittle reason for the crowd to disperse. Bitcoin’s recent rally from $10,000 to $18,000 looks similar to the steep rise to record highs near $20,000 seen in the final quarter of 2017. However, that does not necessarily mean the market is now nearing a top. While the 2017 rally peaked in December, the current rally looks to have legs, according to the Mayer Multiple, which is the ratio of price to the 200-day moving average. At press time, the ratio stands at a 16-month high of 1.67. However, the metric is still well short of the 2.4 threshold that has historically signaled the final leg of the bull markets. The ratio rose above 2.4 on Dec. 1, 2017, after which bitcoin doubled in value to $20,000 in just two weeks before falling back to $12,000 on Dec. 22. Similar price action was observed in April and November 2013 after the ratio rose above 2.4. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Bitcoin Indicator Suggests Bull Market Is Still in Early Phase CME sees record high open interest for bitcoin futures on wave of institutional inflows (CoinDesk) Grayscale (a unit of CoinDesk parent company Digital Currency Group) says assets under management broke $10B (CoinDesk) One of Mexico’s billionaires reveals 10% of his liquid assets are in bitcoin (CoinDesk) Crypto-friendly U.S. regulator Brooks gets nod from Trump to serve 5-year term leading OCC (CoinDesk) Traders brace for major volatility as bitcoin price nears record high (CoinDesk) Zcash undergoes first halving as major upgrade drops ‘Founders Fund’ (CoinDesk) OKEx mining pool flatlines after 99.5% hash power drop as withdrawal suspensions spook clients (CoinDesk) U.S. retail sales lose speed as pandemic, lack of fiscal stimulus weigh (Reuters) Saudi Arabia’s state oil company, Saudi Aramco, selling $8B of bonds to raise cash as low crude prices dent finances (Reuters) Trump Federal Reserve nominee Judy Shelton (who advocated returning to gold standard) fails key Senate procedural vote (CNBC) New York tourisim industry, which supported 400,000 jobs and $46B of annual spending in local hospitality industry, won’t recover until 2025 (NYT) Roughly 300 companies that received about $500M of emergency loans from the U.S. government have filed for bankruptcy (WSJ) • First Mover: As Bitcoin Shoots Past $18K, There’s Comfort in the Crowded Trade • First Mover: As Bitcoin Shoots Past $18K, There’s Comfort in the Crowded Trade... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, rose by 2.31% on Thursday. Reversing most of Wednesday’s 2.50% fall, Bitcoin ended the day at $23,743.5. It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $22,701.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $22,527, Bitcoin rallied to a final hour intraday high $23,790.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $24,016, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at $23,740 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $24,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $11,733 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Crypto.com Coin slid by 5.12% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP surged by 29.65% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+11.78%) and Litecoin (+8.53%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+4.15%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.85%), Chainlink (+5.17%), Ethereum (+4.60%), and Polkadot (+6.11%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $671.50bn before sliding to a Wednesday low $590.85bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $635.77bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 66.74% to a Wednesday high of 71.14%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 69.01%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down 0.39% to $23,651.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $23,831.0 before falling to a low $23,567.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.67%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.94%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.96%), and Polkadot (+0.42%) found early support to buck the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 0.72% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $23,412 to bring the first major resistance level at $24,122 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $24,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $24,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $24,501. Failure to avoid a fall through the $23,412 pivot would bring the first major support level at $23,033 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$23,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $22,323.

Regulators and the Bulls may have to Battle it out! The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – December 25th, 2020 European Equities: A Week in Review – 25/12/20', 'The Majors It was a mixed week for the European majors in the shortened week ending 24 th December 2020. German and Italian markets were closed on Thursday and Friday, with France on a shortened session on Thursday. The DAX30 and CAC40 fell by 0.32% and by 0.10% respectively, while the EuroStoxx600 rose by 0.02%. A bearish start to the week left the majors in the deep red. News of a new coronavirus strain in the UK and a lack of progress towards a Brexit deal weighed. EU member states and beyond banned UK travel in response to the news of the new strain in a bid to avoid exposure to the more virulent strain. Sentiment shifted on Tuesday, however, supporting recovery from Monday’s sell-off. Support kicked in following news of U.S lawmakers agreeing on an $892bn COVID-19 stimulus package, however. Even news of Trump’s unwillingness to sign the stimulus bill failed to sink the majors. Expectations are that a more substantial and meaningful package would provide more material support to the economic recovery. In spite of the negative news on the COVID-19 front, news of an imminent Brexit deal also delivered support for the majors. The Stats It was a quiet week on the economic calendar. Key stats included Flash Eurozone Consumer Confidence and German GfK Consumer Climate figures. For the Eurozone, the Flash Consumer Confidence Indicator rose from -17.6 to -13.9. In spite of the uptick, the indicator remained well below its long-run average of -11.2, however. From Germany, the GfK Consumer Climate Indicator fell from -6.7 to -7.3 in January. Economists had forecasted a larger decline to -8.8. A fall in income expectations weighed on the headline figure, with the latest spike in new COVID-19 cases and lockdown measures raising uncertainty. On Wednesday, finalized 3 rd quarter GDP figures from Spain had a muted impact on the majors. Spain’s economy expanded by 16.4% in the 3 rd quarter, according to finalized figures, revised down from a prelim 16.7%. In the 2 nd quarter, the economy had contracted by 17.9%, quarter-on-quarter. From the U.S Economic data was on the heavier side, with November core durable goods, personal spending, and inflation figures in focus. Weekly jobless claims figures also drew interest ahead of the holidays. In the week ending 18 th December, initial jobless claims stood at 805k, falling back from an upwardly revised 892k from the previous week. Durable goods orders were also positive, with orders rising by 0.9% in November, following a 1.8% increase in October. Core durable goods fell short of forecasts, however, rising by 0.4%. In October, core durable goods orders had increased by 1.9%. Story continues On the negative, however, was a fall in personal spending. In November, personal spending fell by 0.4%, reversing a 0.3% rise in October. Economists had forecasted a 0.2% decline. Inflation figures were market neutral in spite of falling short of forecasts.

Such ETFs hauled in $2.5 billion already this month, putting the group on pace for $20 billion in 2020 year-to-date inflows, according to Bloomberg . The phenomenon is largely attributed to retail investors and the Robinhood crowd, but $20 billion is a big number to pin on smaller number investors. Even if that's all retail money (it's not), that figure implies professional investors are really missing out when it comes to fintech ETFs . Consider the case of the Global X FinTech ETF (NASDAQ: FINX ), which is higher by 33.06% year-to-date, beating the S&P 500 by a margin of almost 3-to-1. Why It's Important : Home to nearly $792 million in assets under management, FINX is more than 4 years old, making it seasoned among thematic funds and ancient by the standards of fintech ETFs. FINX tracks the Indxx Global FinTech Thematic Index and holds 33 stocks, a stable that focuses on companies “a range of innovations helping to transform established industries like insurance, investing, fundraising, and third-party lending through unique mobile and digital solutions,” according to Global X . Investor enthusiasm for FINX is palpable. Month-to-date, the fintech ETF is on the receiving end of $6.11 million of inflows. Year-to-date, the number is nearly $156 million, representing a hefty percentage of the fund's total assets under management. What's Next : PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL ) and Square (NYSE: SQ ), two of the most recognizable large-cap fintechs, are driving the group, providing a tailwind for FINX because the ETF allocates almost 14% to that duo. The exposure of those companies to the booming cryptocurrency market is another catalyst for FINX. “PayPal, a pioneer in the digital payments industry, now offers users the ability to transact with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” according to Global X research. “The platform’s expanded cryptocurrency functionality also allows users to buy, hold, and sell Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin.” Story continues For companies like PayPal, there are tangible benefits to adding crypto services and rival Square proves as much. “Square and Robinhood are two examples of companies that increased revenue after implementing cryptocurrency services. Square reported that revenue from Bitcoin reached $875 million in Q2 2020, a 600% year-over-year increase,” according to Global X. Disclosure: The author owns shares of Square .

Between 1961 and 1963, the boys would play rock-n-roll nightly to a small but dedicated audience of fans. Those lucky enough to see The Beatles during this period understood they were witnessing something special and spread word of the band to their friends. Over time, the crowds grew bigger and The Beatles eventually became too popular for their hometown venue. Not six months after playing their last show at the Cavern, they had a number one record and were playing to millions on the Ed Sullivan show. That’s hyper-Beatlization for you. This post is part of CoinDesk’s 2020 Year in Review – a collection of op-eds, essays and interviews about the year in crypto and beyond. Justin Wales is a lawyer and the co-chair of Carlton Fields’ national blockchain and virtual currency practice. He is the author of “Bitcoin is Speech Notes Toward Developing the Conceptual Contours of Its Protection Under the First Amendment.” I assure you this article is about Bitcoin. Related: Public Blockchains Are Set to Reshape Global Commerce (2020 Was the Start) For those lucky enough to see The Beatles in Liverpool, watching them go on to become “bigger than Jesus” must have been a mixed bag. Seeing something you loved first become accepted by the entire world is validating, but it also means that thing is no longer just for you. You now have to share it with the world and that risks it losing the qualities that attracted you to it in the first place. Before you know it, your favorite band is just a corporate brand used to sell socks . Thinking about what it was like to watch The Beatles play some grimy bar is a good analogy to what many bitcoiners are going through at this very moment. In the last few months, it feels like the venue has gotten crowded and that it’s time for Bitcoin to leave to conquer the world. Story continues New voices have entered the space and have changed the way we talk about the Bitcoin network. The conversation is dominated by those speculating about the bitcoin cryptocurrency’s use as an investment vehicle for the already wealthy. Fewer and fewer people preach its role as a tool for democratizing finance. It is essential that throughout this bull run, as we celebrate the rewards that come with being at the right place at the right time, that we remember what makes Bitcoin unique and fight like hell to keep it that way. Bitcoin is a network. That’s its magic. It isn’t like a stock or a bond or even like gold. It is just a powerful system that allows people all over the world to privately interact with one another in a manner that is wholly unconcerned with whether any institution or government likes it or not. Related: Where Peer-to-Peer Finance Grabbed Hold This Year That is the revolution. Bitcoin is not large PayMent [trademarked] processors allowing its customers to purchase, but never hold, bitcoin directly or the marginal efficiencies available to those wishing to transfer millions of dollars between corporate treasuries. Those types of things, and the general influx of institutional investors looking for a hedge against the dollar are fine and maybe even necessary for hyper-Bitcoinization to occur, but it’s not what makes Bitcoin special. The ability to directly and discreetly transact with one another is what makes Bitcoin special. It is imperative on all of us lucky fools who got to see Bitcoin when it was still playing at the Cavern to remind people why that was, and is still, so important. See also: Justin Wales – Why Bitcoin Is Protected by the First Amendment The next year will be a lot of fun, but also a time when many new voices will be given a space to propose ways to take Bitcoin mainstream. In the goal of attracting institutional investors, many will cheer on regulations that undercut our ability to transact with Bitcoin without institutional or governmental approval. In other words, regulations that aim to change the fundamental characteristic that made Bitcoin special in the first place. We already see this happening with rumors of impending regulations on the ability to send funds to self-hosted wallets from money service businesses and exchanges. Such restrictions are bad for Bitcoin and privacy generally and will require a lot more than retweets to be stopped. With your newfound gains, I recommend donating money to groups like Coin Center that fund research and advocacy focused on upholding the principles of liberty and privacy that were so vital to Bitcoin’s founding. As bitcoin becomes corporatized, it is imperative that its first objective of democratizing finance through disintermediation endures. One last thing about the Beatles: I do genuinely love them. There is no better music made, as far as I am concerned. Because being a Beatles fan is so core to my identity, I have been gifted a lot of Beatles merchandise over the years. Last year, someone bought me a collection of officially licensed Beatles dress socks back before virus regulations shuttered my law office. Not 10 minutes after I put on a pair of these socks, I felt a tear and, sure enough, I tore a hole in the sock. I sat there looking down at my big toe popping out of John Lennon’s torso under the words “REVOLUTION.” I realized right then that these socks had nothing to do with The Beatles. It was just a product created to make a buck without offering me anything that made The Beatles special other than its branding. It was a product masquerading as something revolutionary. How pathetic. My bet is Bitcoin will be around for a long, long time. As large institutions and the CNBC crowd continue to recognize it as an investment opportunity, there will be an increasing number of ways for people to interact with “Bitcoin.” But at some point, we’re going to need to ask ourselves whether the things we brand as bitcoin are so centralized and overregulated that they no longer work toward achieving Bitcoin’s original goal of spurring a financial revolution. As these “bitcoins” become corporatized and regulated into the mainstream, it is imperative that Bitcoin’s first objective of democratizing finance through disintermediation endures. The alternative is Bitcoin loses the very innovative principles that allowed it to grow in the first place and becomes just another product masquerading as something revolutionary.

The strategic collaboration enables Binance users to take advantage of crypto purchases with fiat and trading through the Reef Finance platform in a non-custodial manner. In addition, Reef Finance is eyeing the potential offering of Binance Chain support to its users in the future. Binance\'s Launchpool platform was created to facilitate new digital farming for users. The project is now aiming to simplify the reward acquisition process for staking Binance Coin ( BNB ) and other assets on the Binance platform. During Launchpool participation, users will be able to stake their BNB, Binance USD (BUSD) or Polkadot\'s DOT tokens into separate pools to farm $REEF tokens, starting from Dec. 23, 2020, at 0:00 am UTC. Binance will then list REEF in the innovation zone on Dec. 29, 2020, at 6:00 am UTC and open two initial trading pairs in REEF/USDT and REEF/BTC, with REEF/BNB and REEF/BUSD to become available in January. Reef is also the first Launchpool project where Binance users will be able to stake their DOT tokens and earn staking rewards. To sum up, DOT holders can now farm REEF on Binance, whereas usually, one could farm with BNB, BUSD and Ether ( ETH ). Now with Reef, one can farm using BNB, BUSD and DOT. Story continues Reef is positioned as a hub for DeFi and other cryptocurrency financial services on Polkadot. As a founding member of the Polkadot DeFi Alliance , it will support and grow the overall success of the ecosystem as a cross-chain solution with a cohort of members and partners, such as Interlay , Equilibrium and Moonbeam . "By abstracting away the complexities of using order books and learning how different protocols work, Reef gives the retail investor access to the DeFi landscape with a very low technical barrier of entry and additionally augmenting the decision making process based on the user\'s risk levels," said Denko Mancheski, founder and CEO of Reef Finance. "We are very excited for the upcoming Polkadot ecosystem and glad to support Reef Finance\'s progress through Launchpool," said Binance CEO and Founder Changpeng Zhao. "It\'s also great to welcome our first Polkadot ecosystem project to Binance Smart Chain." For more information about Reef Finance, read the in-depth report provided by Binance Research.

Following on from a 4.11% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $26,413.0. It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $24,489.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $23,449, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $26,723.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $25,396 and the second major resistance level at $26,073. While easing back, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the second major resistance level, holding onto the $26,000 handle through to the day end. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $26,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $12,680 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday.

Still, the greenback fell 2.3% in November, its largest monthly percentage loss since July. In contrast, bitcoin on Monday hit an all-time high of $19,864.15 and was last up 5.7% at $19,235.96 . "We're seeing further softening of U.S. economic data," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York. "And there hasn't been any sign that we're going to see Congress deliver a stimulus package any time soon." Data on Monday showed contracts to buy U.S. previously-owned homes fell for a second straight month in October, with the Pending Home Sales Index, based on contracts signed last month, falling 1.1% to 128.9. Other data showed activity at factories in the Midwest and Texas slowing this month, with the Chicago PMI falling to 58.2 in November from 61.1 in October, as a nationwide resurgence in new COVID-19 infections curbed new orders and disrupted production. On the last day of the month, the dollar index rose 0.2% to 91.89. It fell in five of the last seven months. "This is just a temporary boost for the dollar," said OANDA's Moya. "The longer-term trend is clearly going to be dollar weakness." Market participants remained optimistic that U.S. President-elect Joe Biden's administration would pose few impediments to global growth, including possibly additional monetary policy support from the Federal Reserve. Both should reduce the dollar's safe-haven allure. Biden on Monday unveiled his picks for several top economic positions, including former Fed Chair Janet Yellen as his nominee for Treasury secretary. "The world is on the cusp of a major inflection point - a vaccine rollout and subsequent economic normalization - that we expect to prove positive for the currencies of exporters, select emerging markets, and producers of cyclical commodities, such as oil and base metals," UBS Global Wealth Management wrote in a research note on Monday. The euro slipped 0.2% against the dollar to $1.1942, after earlier hitting a three-month high of $1.20 . The European Central Bank signalled earlier this year it was carefully monitoring the euro-dollar exchange rate. The single European currency posted its best monthly performance since July, gaining 2.6% in November. The dollar rose 0.2% against the yen to 104.33 yen. The dollar was flat to slightly higher against the Chinese yuan in the offshore market, at 6.579 . Monday's data showed China's manufacturing grew at its fastest pace in more than three years in November, while services sector growth hit a three-year high. The offshore yuan had its longest streak of monthly gains in six years, boosted by China's economic recovery from the coronavirus and steady capital inflows. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 3:08PM (2008 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Dollar index $91.8780 91.7240 +0.18% +0.00% +91.9150 +91.5040 Euro/Dollar $1.1943 $1.1965 -0.17% +6.54% +1.2004 +1.1942 Dollar/Yen 104.3300 104.0500 +0.20% -4.01% +104.3850 +103.8500 Euro/Yen 124.59 124.50 +0.07% +2.16% +125.1100 +124.3100 Dollar/Swiss 0.9068 0.9045 +0.27% -6.28% +0.9068 +0.9020 Sterling/Dollar 1.3343 1.3318 +0.20% +0.61% +1.3383 +1.3305 Dollar/Canadian 1.2968 1.2985 -0.12% -0.17% +1.2995 +1.2923 Aussie/Dollar 0.7350 0.7384 -0.45% +4.75% +0.7407 +0.7348 Euro/Swiss 1.0831 1.0818 +0.12% -0.19% +1.0858 +1.0804 Euro/Sterling 0.8948 0.8980 -0.36% +5.84% +0.9000 +0.8946 NZ 0.7018 0.7035 -0.21% +4.32% +0.7050 +0.7012 Dollar/Dollar Dollar/Norway 8.8705 8.8300 +0.55% +1.22% +8.8875 +8.7850 Euro/Norway 10.5950 10.5560 +0.37% +7.70% +10.6255 +10.5289 Dollar/Sweden 8.5555 8.4795 +0.70% -8.47% +8.5668 +8.4447 Euro/Sweden 10.2185 10.1473 +0.70% -2.39% +10.2442 +10.1248 (Reporting by Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss; Editing by Nick Zieminski and Paul Simao)... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

But with little mainstream usage as a form of payment and global uncertainty clouding financial markets, bitcoin is still far from a safe bet, analysts said. "There are a lot of differences to what was happening before," said Larry Cermak, director of research at cryptocurrency media firm The Block. "The price has steadily increased, we are seeing very little retail participation and markets are much more liquid and much more accessible to institutional participants. For now, though, it's definitely not a safe investment, it's still very risky." Bitcoin broke $18,000 (£13,549) on Wednesday to hit its highest since Dec. 2017, having soared about 160% this year. The steep trajectory of its 2020 rally echoes that of 2017, when a retail-led buying spree pushed it to nearly $20,000, only to crash more than 50% a month later. Unlike 2017, however, the asset now boasts a functioning derivatives market and custody services by established financial institutions. The value of open interest bitcoin futures at CME Group Inc crossed $1 billion this week for the first time since their launch in Dec. 2017, while positions across major options markets have grown to over $4 billion from virtually nothing in early 2019, according to crypto data provider Skew. Meanwhile large firms including Fidelity Investments and Japan's Nomura Holdings Inc have starting safeguarding bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies for institutional investors. "There's absolutely no comparison in terms of market maturity between this year and 2017," said Ryan Selkis, CEO of crypto data firm Messari. "Back then derivatives and credit markets barely existed (and) institutional custody didn't exist." The emergence of this kind of infrastructure has made it easier for professional investors from hedge funds to family offices to seek exposure to crypto. "The accessibility has changed from three years ago so the types of players that are willing to go in has broadened," said Tim Swanson, head of market intelligence at blockchain software firm Clearmatics. Their involvement, the argument goes, may lead to more liquidity and less volatility in prices. Regulation has also developed. While the cryptocurrency sector is still mostly lightly overseen or unregulated, global standards on areas such as anti-money laundering (AML) have emerged, opening the way for bigger investors. Mainstream companies and governments are among those embracing digital coin technology. Last month, PayPal Holdings Inc said it would open up its platform to cryptocurrencies while rival Square Inc said it had invested 1% of its total assets in bitcoin. Unlike 2017, bitcoin's price has been supported by an appetite for riskier assets following government and central bank stimulus measures to combat the impact of COVID-19. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million, shielding it from policies that stoke inflation, proponents say. The narrative has allowed "a wider group of investors, including those with a more fundamental mindset, to participate in price setting," said Richard Galvin of crypto fund Digital Asset Capital Management. Yet for all the improvements in market structure and mainstream recognition, bitcoin remains highly volatile. The cryptocurrency sector is still more opaque and less regulated than mainstream financial markets. Trading data remains patchy and concerns over market manipulation are rife. "Long story short, it's still a risky market and a risky asset," said Colin Platt, a cryptocurrency consultant. And for all the hype, bitcoin remains seldom used for its intended purpose. "There is no guarantee that it will be used widely as 'money' given the cost of mining and using bitcoins and the ease of using contactless payment cards or smartphones to facilitate electronic payment," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.

Today's Key News: ['* Graphic: World FX rates in 2020 https://tmsnrt.rs/2RBWI5E By Kevin Buckland TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The dollar languished near a 2-1/2-year low on Tuesday with demand for safe-havens flagging as U.S. lawmakers pushed forward with a COVID-19 relief package. The House of Representatives voted on Monday to increase stimulus payments to qualified Americans to $2,000 from $600, sending the measure on to the Senate for a vote. Last week\'s Brexit agreement, while bare bones, also supported the outlook for global growth, lifting Asian stocks on Tuesday following Wall Street gains. "Optimism abounds, and it’s generally coming from equity markets," said Bart Wakabayashi, Tokyo Branch manager of State Street Bank and Trust. "The dollar is very heavy, and that will continue into next year." The dollar index was little changed at 90.194 in holiday-thinned trading, hovering near the 89.723 level reached on Dec. 17 for the first time since April 2018. Short positions on the dollar swelled in the week ended Dec. 21 to $26.6 billion, the highest in three months, according to Reuters\' calculations based on data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Monday. The euro rose 0.1% to $1.22260 early in the Asian session, hovering near the 2-1/2-year high of 1.22735 touched earlier this month. The dollar bought 103.740 yen, another haven asset. Sterling rose 0.1% to $1.3477 following a two-day decline. It was as high as $1.3625 this month, a level not seen since May 2018. Investors have taken profits in the UK currency following the confirmation last week of a Brexit trade deal that was widely expected. While the agreement came as a relief to investors, the pact leaves Britain far more detached from the EU, analysts say. "People are still trying to figure out what this Brexit agreement means," weighing on the pound, said State Street\'s Wakabayashi. "Nothing has really been agreed on financial markets, and that’s a big negative for the UK." Bitcoin slipped 0.8% to $26,841, continuing its retreat from the all-time high of $28,377.94 set Sunday. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 11:24AM (224 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Euro/Dollar $1.2234 $1.2216 +0.15% +9.13% +1.2237 +1.2207 Dollar/Yen 103.7520 103.8250 -0.07% -4.48% +103.7920 +103.7300 Euro/Yen 126.98 126.77 +0.17% +4.12% +126.9800 +126.7100 Dollar/Swiss 0.8876 0.8886 -0.06% -8.22% +0.8887 +0.8876 Sterling/Dollar 1.3469 1.3460 +0.09% +1.58% +1.3482 +1.3443 Dollar/Canadian 1.2832 1.2849 -0.08% -1.17% +1.2848 +1.2835 Aussie/Dollar 0.7590 0.7583 +0.15% +8.22% +0.7595 +0.7577 NZ 0.7117 0.7103 +0.21% +5.78% +0.7118 +0.7099 Dollar/Dollar All spots Tokyo spots Europe spots Volatilities Tokyo Forex market info from BOJ (Reporting by Kevin Buckland; Editing by Sam Holmes)', '* Graphic: World FX rates in 2020 https://tmsnrt.rs/2RBWI5E By Kevin Buckland TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The dollar languished near a 2-1/2-year low on Tuesday with demand for safe-havens flagging as U.S. lawmakers pushed forward with a COVID-19 relief package.

Following on from a 0.53% gain on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $19,459.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $19,570.0 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $19,418 and the second major resistance level at $19,555. The reversal saw Bitcoin slide to a mid-morning intraday low $19,070.0 before making a move. Finding support at the first major support level at $19,077, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $19,607.0. Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level at $19,418 and the second major resistance level at $19,555. A choppy end to the day, however, saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to sub-$19,400 before ending the day at $19,450 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the recovery to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 5.85% to lead the way down once more. Cardano’s ADA (-3.08%), Binance Coin (-1.70%), Chainlink (-1.17%), and Litecoin (-1.24%) also struggled. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.95%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.14%), Ethereum (+0.46%), and Polkadot (+6.00%) bucked the trend on the day. For the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $545.05bn before rising to a Tuesday high $566.22bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $554.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 64.21% before rising to a Tuesday high 64.85%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.80%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.50% to $19,361.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $19,481.0 before falling to a low $19,317.8. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 0.97% to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Chainlink and Ripple’s XRP were down by 2.19% and by 2.16% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $19,379 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,687 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $19,607.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,700 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $19,916 and resistance at $20,000 could come into play. Failure to move back through the $19,379 pivot would bring the first major support level at $19,150 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $18,842.

The U.S. Dollar Index is testing the support at the yearly lows at 89.75. If the U.S. Dollar Index settles below this level, it will gain additional downside momentum and head towards the next support which is located near 89.40 which will be bullish for GBP/USD.

Some saw this as an opportunity to rein in these controversial financial products, rather than to let them ride. From Lara Crigger’s ETF.com report: “… (SEC)passed a controversial new rulethat, among other things, would make it significantly easier to launchleveragedandinverseexchange-traded funds, but at smaller multipliers than previously approved. Rule 18f-4 would allow ETFs and other funds that aren't explicitly allowed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 to use derivatives, without first having to obtain exemptive relief. New ETF launches may now apply up to a 200% multiplier, either long or inverse, on their underlying indexes.” New launches of these sorts won’t require SEC blessing on an individual basis to use derivatives for leveraged and inverse exposure, which should ease the approval process. However, the days of new 3X leveraged or inverse ETFs are over, with 2X being the cap going forward, a tip of the hat perhaps to lessening the potential losses these can create. Despite also gutting the requirement of presale education to investors who decide to play with this type of fire, I have no problem with allowing these alternative securities to come to market. They require investor caution, but they could also deliver stellar returns in a very short period of time. I use this as a backdrop to the ongoing bitcoin ETF saga. It’s been dragging though the seemingly lenient SEC when it comes to risky products like leveraged and inverse ETFs, but it’s been steadfastly opposed to allowing bitcoin in an ETF wrapper. All this got me thinking, what is going on with bitcoin ETFs? Certainly no one has thrown in the towel after all this effort: Key Bitcoin ETF Dates: * Winklevoss:Filed July 1, 2013; Disapproved March 10, 2017* SolidX (with VanEck later):Filed July 12, 2016; Withdrawn Jan. 23, 2019* Grayscale: Filed July 11, 2017:Withdrawn Oct. 25, 2017* ProShares: Filed Sept. 27, 2017:Disapproved Aug. 22, 2018; Stayed Aug. 23, 2018* Direxion: Filed Dec. 15, 2017:Disapproved Aug. 22, 2018; Stayed Aug. 23, 2018* GraniteShares: Filed Dec. 15, 2017:Disapproved Aug. 22, 2018; Stayed Aug. 23, 2018* Wilshire Phoenix: Filed Jan. 11, 2019:Disapproved Feb. 25, 2020* Bitwise: Filed Jan. 10, 2019:Disapproved Oct. 9, 2019; Stayed Oct. 15, 2019, Withdrawn Jan. 14, 2020 More Than 7 Years Ago The early forays into trying to launch a bitcoin ETF were certainly far ahead of the SEC’s curve of understanding—and most people’s understanding—of cryptocurrencies. But along the way, there hasn’t been any obvious progress in the SEC’s willingness to allow bitcoin ETFs. With a market cap currently approaching $200 billion, and hundreds of millions of dollars a day in futures trading, bitcoin has come a long way since that first bitcoin filing in 2013. The SEC, however, not so much. Some say the SEC has been growing more comfortable with the idea of a bitcoin ETF, and that one should come sooner rather than later. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of Bitwise, a digital asset manager that just crossed $100 million in assets under management, is in that camp. He has been on the frontlines of this effort, as his firm tries to launch a bitcoin ETF. I caught up with Hougan to talk about this challenge: ETF.com: Are there any bitcoin ETFs still alive in the SEC pipeline filing world? Matt Hougan:There are no live filings for ETFs for crypto ETFs, and specifically for a bitcoin ETF at this time. There are a number of filings that received disapproval orders from the SEC staff, which were then appealed by commissioners and are currently sort of sitting on appeal. But there's no requirement or expectation for the commissioners to review those and move those along. So the short answer to your question is, no, there are no live filings that I'm aware of at this time. The slightly nuanced answer is, a few filings, but disapproval orders have been sort of appealed and stayed. But they're not, that I know of, making forward progress right now. ETF.com: Why was there this full-frontal assault on trying to get bitcoin ETFs through the SEC, but then it just completely went away. What’s going on? Hougan:The reality is there's been sort of two waves of effort around bitcoin ETFs. There was the Winklevosses’ first shot in 2013, and then there were a number of serious follow-on efforts in the 2017/2018 era, whether that's Bitwise or VanEck or Wilshire Phoenix. And those are the ones that received the public disapproval orders. What the industry saw in those public disapproval orders is that the SEC, rightfully so, is setting a pretty high bar that bitcoin ETFs have to clear on factors like market manipulation and custody audit. So what I’m seeing is that people realize there's a lot of work to be done. Certainly that's happening behind the scenes at Bitwise, and I assume what's happening behind the scenes at our competitors, is that people are doing that work. But I think it was just clarity that there was significant work still to be done before you could even take a shot on goal. ETF.com: How long does it take for the market to prove itself rather than you trying to prove that the market's safe? Hougan:If we backpedal to like 2013 when the first ETF filings were in, we were far on one side of a wide spectrum spanning from a grassroots, anarchic, unregulated market, to its long-term future as a well-regulated piece of the global financial ecosystem. As an example, there were no regulated insured custodians in the market at that time. Full stop. Today you have firms like Fidelity that have insurance from Lloyd's of London that are offering custody for bitcoin under New York State specialized trust charters. You have the New York Stock Exchange setting up a bitcoin custodian that, again, operates under that same regulatory structure and also has insurance in place. You have the Coinbase company which is now an $8 billion company. They also have insurance in place and they're also regulated. In 2013, the market was not prepared to support an ETF that should be available to all investors. There were no well-established trading venues. There was no regulated market at all. There were still a lot of really bad actors. Things have vastly improved. People like me will argue that we're well along that path, and that the Bitcoin market, as it stands today, is actually a well-functioning market supported by regulated markets like the CME when it comes to futures. But the SEC is fully within its rights to say "prove it." Because it's not like we're coming from a place that's entirely well-established and clean and a well-arbitraged market with clear regulations in place. We're evolving to that space. ETF.com: There seems to be demand there. How do you quantify that? Hougan:Bitwise has a full sales team that calls on thousands of advisors a month. And so we hear from them directly. They would like an ETF that allows them to buy and sell bitcoin at net asset value and that fits into their workflow. And they want to do it because there's client demand, and currently those clients are doing it themselves on Coinbase. There are more Coinbase accounts than there are Charles Schwab accounts. So it would be great to bring bitcoin inside that advised setting. You can see there's demand. I hear from people who say, “We don't need a bitcoin ETF.” Their argument is that there are plenty of ways to buy bitcoin today. [On Oct. 21, 2020,] PayPal said it was going to make it possible for people to buy Bitcoin through the PayPal app. That's great, but it doesn't solve the problem for financial advisors who need a regulated product that fits into their workflow. And the only real, robust answer for that is an ETF. I think eventually we'll get there. ETF.com: What's eventually? A year? Five? Hougan:I hope it's fewer than five years. I think the best estimate is somewhere between 12 and 36 months out. I know it's a wide window, but people have been cracking on this thing since 2013, and there's still some road to go. I do think it's a matter ofwhenand notif. PayPal's a $250 billion company. It has 350 million users, 200 million in the U.S. It's got 26 million merchants who are going to be able to accept crypto. If you have a company of that size that embraces crypto and endorses it and allows it to live in a regulated setting for a huge number of clients, it gets a step further. The Time Has Come It’s hard to knock the SEC for being overly cautious in allowing bitcoin to enter the capital markets as a listed and regulated security. But that many-years grace period and bitcoin’s continued success as a financial product have made the steadfast rejection by regulators seem out of step with change. Currently, bitcoin trades around $13,500, and as the bitcoin price chart below shows, price volatility has cooled considerably. Take away March’s financial market meltdown that impacted all securities, and bitcoin pricing looks relatively rangebound. (For a larger view, click on the image above) One reason for that is a futures market in bitcoin that keeps price discovery honest in theory and apparently in practical terms as well. Trading volume has also been stable, adding another positive piece to the stability puzzle. (For a larger view, click on the image above) A report this month by Wilshire Phoenix, a firm that’s also looking for a SEC bitcoin ETF blessing, adds credence to the idea a futures market in bitcoin is legitimizing its status as a trading vehicle every day. “The findings of Wilshire Phoenix indicate that CME Bitcoin Futures contribute more to price discovery than its related spot markets,” said an Oct. 14reportfrom Wilshire Phoenix, adding: “A leading futures market suggests the existence of a robust base of traders who may trade on such markets for many reasons such as trust in the exchange venue and low... - Reddit Posts (Sample): []...

Its a small hack that lets me see how vulnerable a founder is, and how much conviction they have behind their ideas. Sometimes, if they answer, its the lede of my story. And sometimes, if they dont answer, its the reason I dont write the story. As blunt as the question sounds, it can spark the best answers -- especially when the founder is working on an idea that is a moonshot in and of itself. Speaking of wild bets, our own Kirsten Korosec caught up with Zoox co-founder and CTO Jesse Levinson about his electric robotaxi, a six-year effort that was unveiled this week , outpacing competitors. Levinson was heads-down on an idea that wasnt just likely to fail, it almost did: Zooxs Series C fell apart in March due to the pandemic: Korosec: What was your trick or how did you remain focused for six years on something that is futuristic, expensive and possibly could fail? What did you personally do to keep that focus? Levinson: Well, doing something like this is definitely challenging and it requires patience. I think the advice I would give is first to convince yourself that what youre doing makes sense and is important and worth doing. If youre starting a company because your goal is to make as much money as possible, if it turns out to be hard its going to be really difficult to convince yourself and your team and investors to stick with the idea. One of the great things about Zoox is that the idea itself just makes a lot of sense. From first principles, theres really a compelling reason to solve the problem the way weve been solving it and the market opportunity is unquestionably enormous. So armed with those facts and a team of wonderful employees and investors who strongly believed in that, we were able to weather some of the ups and downs of the industry, even though its not always been an easy ride. Story continues It didnt hurt that Amazon saved Zoox after its failed Series C, considering deep pockets and futuristic technology go well together.

Now, after helping Palantir scale up its senior talent (and pocketing some advisor shares for himself) he invests in the Palantir diaspora out of his fund. Connie Loizos, TechCrunchs Silicon Valley editor, has the story , including where XYZ is looking for startups outside of the once-secretive public companys staff. This VC introduced Palantirs first business hire to its earliest engineer, then his business took off Loizos also profiled Lux Capitals Deena Shakir, who sees space and frontier tech going mainstream right now.

The long-time global financial hub will expect hundreds of new jobs in the next few years as ByteDance and Alibaba reportedly plan regional offices in the city-state. The interest comes as Google, Facebook and Twilio already have operations in Singapore. The spotlight comes with pressure on companies to find the best tech talent in Singapore, which has a population of 5.6 million. Singapore is poised to become Asias Silicon Valley Kuo-Yi Lim, co-founder and managing partner at early-stage investment firm Monks Hill Ventures, detailed the talent dynamics: My view is that there will always be the need to bring in folks who are not from Singapore because were just not big enough, he said. The competition is more on a global basis, because even local startups will always be looking at global talent, from the region, Australia, India, China or beyond, he added. I think it actually cultivates the instinct for startups to really compete for talent in a thoughtful way. I think startups will have to become more creative and sharper in terms of how they position themselves as an attractive employer to spend time with, as opposed to the big companies.

Today's Key News: ['By John McCrank NEW YORK (Reuters) - The price of Bitcoin topped $29,000 on Thursday for the first time, with the digital currency almost quadrupling in value this year amid heightened interest from investors big and small alike. The world\'s most popular cryptocurrency touched $29,300 before pulling back, most recently down 0.67% at $28,774.36. It has surged by nearly half since breaking $20,000 for the first time on Dec. 16. Bitcoin\'s potential for quick gains, as well as expectations it could become a mainstream payment method, has attracted demand from larger U.S. investors, as well as from traders who normally stick to equities.

"Bitcoin you really just have digits on a screen and you\'re really hoping that the guy behind you sees it as being worth more than what you just paid for it, so it\'s a purely speculative view," he said. Still, intrigued by the story behind bitcoin and the traction it was getting with institutional investors, he put 1% of his net worth into a bitcoin fund around five weeks ago, which has doubled in value since then, and he sold half on Thursday.

According to a Justice Departmentcomplaint, the digital wallet holding the Bitcoins belonged to a hacker who stole them from the operator of the Silk Road, a notorious black market website that acted as a giant online bazaar for drugs and other criminal activity. The federal government took down the Silk Road and arrestedits owner—who isnow serving life in prison—in 2013. The Justice Department complaint says IRS agents reviewed the hacker’s activities earlier this year with the help of a cryptocurrency forensics firm. That firm, Chainalysis, publisheda blog postdetailing how it analyzed the Bitcoin blockchain—a tamper-proof public ledger of transactions—to track the hacker’s activities. The blog post includes the graphic below, which shows the stolen Bitcoins moving to different wallets, including one transaction in which the hacker moved 101 Bitcoins to a now-shuttered criminal exchange called BTC-e: According to a person familiar with the investigation, the hacker’s robbery of Silk Road—which took the form of 54 transactions in less than 24 hours—took place in 2012. Meanwhile, the transfer of 101 Bitcoins took place in 2015, with no further transactions after that. This raises the question of why the so-called Individual X hasn’t touched any of the funds, even asBitcoin has soared in price. There appear to be two possible explanations: The person is a wealthy individual who did not need to sell any of the Bitcoins, or else the person is in prison without access to a website needed to transfer the funds. The source familiar with the investigation said it is significant the complaint was filed in San Francisco, and that Individual X signed a consent decree. This implies the person in question is located in Northern California and is cooperating with law enforcement—as does the fact the Justice Department was able to seize the Bitcoin, which could only have occurred if the person provided the password or “private key” needed to transfer Bitcoin funds. As for why the Justice Department didn’t name the individual, the source speculated it was because the person could be at risk of violent retaliation from criminals tied to the Silk Road. “They’re not in the safest business in the world,” the source said. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment as to whether Individual X is in prison. Nor did the agency state if a criminal complaint—as opposed to the civil one unveiled today—will be forthcoming. The lack of any criminal complaint may suggest Individual X is already incarcerated and may have agreed to turn over the Bitcoin as part of a cooperation arrangement with authorities. The Justice Department seized not only 69,370.22491543 Bitcoins from Individual X, but the same amount in three spinoff currencies known as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, and Bitcoin SV. Together, those other currencies are worth around $30 million. The government hasn’t announced what it will do with the seized Bitcoins, but in the past it hassoldthemthough auctions run by the U.S. Marshals Service, with the proceeds primarily going to law enforcement agencies. • COVID-19 resurgencesets back Europe’s economic recoveryhopes • TheU.S. economyis slowly beginning to climb out of its deep hole • Stocks historically perform betterunder a divided Congress • Theft of $2.3M from GOP shows howcampaigns are juicy targets for hackers • A journalist-turned-detective on howcorporate America depends on private sleuths This story was originally featured onFortune.com... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Mari0805', 'BTC just had the monthly and yearly close! 2020 close was at $28,990', 119, '2021-01-01 01:07', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ko15jt/btc_just_had_the_monthly_and_yearly_close_2020/', "Let's see what 2021 brings us.

Don\'t let that prevent you from taking a risk in something you believe in. Extend your time horizon to a decade and lock your coins away.\n\n\\---\n\nI\'ve been a libertarian since I was a teenager. The expanding role of the State is something that I\'ve been worrying about for most of my life. While learning about the immorality of the existence of the State, at some point I learned about monetary policy and how inflation is robbing everyone on an unprecedented scale. I tucked this knowledge away and was determined to figure out a way around it when I started making my own money. (This paragraph is the only one involving political philosophy, go ahead and continue reading)\n\nI first heard of Bitcoin in 2010 on one of the many forums I frequented in my libertarian internet circle. It was an interesting concept to me, but I didn\'t pursue it at all. Again I tucked this knowledge away for future use.\n\nI heard of it again several months later (2010). This time I decided to try it out. I remember downloading and syncing the reference wallet and using a BTC faucet to send coins to my wallet. I forget exactly how many it was... 5, maybe? That\'s as far as I went with it though. At some point I deleted the wallet and the downloaded blockchain - probably to make room for a Steam game or something. Those coins are gone.\n\nThat\'s right - Steam. I have been a gamer for most of my life as well. I owned a powerful graphics card at the time: The Radeon 5970.\n\nThe third time I heard about Bitcoin was in May 2011. I had heard that the price was lifting off and people were making a lot of money from it. This time I decided to dive in and see what I could figure out.\n\nThis was where I fell into the deep rabbit hole of Bitcoin. I remember getting so absorbed in it that I didn\'t sleep some nights. I was working my day job, going home and learning all that I could about Bitcoin. Learning about how addresses were generated, how wallets worked, how mining worked, how the difficulty adjustment worked, everything that I possibly could.\n\nAfter a week or two of obsessing and reading about Bitcoin, I decided that this was the most important invention since the internet - the most perfect form of money ever created. One of the most ingenious systems ever designed by man - and NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT YET.\n\nI can\'t recall if any other coins existed at the time, but between 2011-2012 I remember other coins like Namecoin, Peercoin, Feathercoin, and some others. I don\'t hear about any of those other coins these days... besides LTC and XRP, of course.\n\nI decided that I wanted in. I needed to get some Bitcoin. I needed it NOW!! This would be like buying stock in the Internet itself but better - no counterparty risk, and I could be my own bank!\n\nI wasn\'t making a lot of money at the time, so putting money towards anything discretionary wasn\'t going to be friendly to my budget. Yes, I owned a badass gaming rig, but that was my only luxury in life. I knew I was going to buy for the long term, so I decided to put aside $500 and go for it. I was going to buy Bitcoin.\n\nAt the time, Mt Gox was the only game in town that I can remember. I don\'t think BTC-e existed yet, or maybe I just hadn\'t heard of it.\n\nI signed up for a Gox account and figured out how to fund it. There were a few ways to do this, one of which was another app called Dwolla. So I signed up for Dwolla and got verified. I then deposited my $500 and initiated the ACH transfer to Gox. BTC price at the time: $3.\n\nI had initiated the transfer on a Tuesday evening after work. I was informed that the transfer would arrive at Gox on Friday.\n\nI watched agonizingly as the price climbed hour after hour, day after day. $3.50. $4. $5. $6. I was missing the boat!!! By Thursday evening the price had doubled.\n\nAt work on Friday, I checked my email on my phone practically every five minutes. The transfer didn\'t go through the entire work day. I had plans with friends that evening - damn it, I was going to have to try and do this on my phone while hanging with my friends?!\n\nI ended up making my first BTC purchase while sitting in a movie theater. I bought 50 Bitcoin for $10 each - during an all-time-high.\n\nI still hodl every one of these coins today.\n\n(The movie, for the curious: X-Men: First Class)\n\nI couldn\'t stop there, though. The more I learned, the more I had to know. The more I had to DO. That\'s when I got into GPU mining.\n\nThis was a time before ASICs. I believe GPU mining was relatively new -- before this, miners were only using CPUs (which were in 2011 -- like GPUs in 2020 -- obsolete for SHA256 mining).\n\nThe next day I dove headfirst into Bitcoin mining. I downloaded the software and set up an account on Slush Pool. I ran my 5970 on full blast for a while and went out with some friends. When I got back, my bedroom was noticeably hotter than it was when I left. So that\'s what I was going to be dealing with? Ok, fine.\n\nI also couldn\'t play any demanding video games while the miner was running. I\'d have to dial the hashrate down, or disable it completely. Ok, I guess I can manage that.\n\nAfter a few days of dealing with that, I decided to buy another 5970. If I got bored of Bitcoin, it would still make The Witcher 2 run better!\n\nAll told, between mining with Slush Pool and BTCGuild for a month, I managed to mine an additional 50BTC that month.\n\nI still hodl every one of these coins today.\n\nOne day, my electric bill came. $350. For my 1BR apartment? That can\'t be right...\n\nI called up the electric company and told them they double-billed me.\n\n"Nope, that amount is accurate. That\'s what you owe for this month. Have a nice day!"\n\nAnd that was the day I stopped Bitcoin mining.\n\nI had been telling all my friends and gamer friends about Bitcoin the entire time. They laughed at me. I told them they wouldn\'t be laughing when I was a millionaire.\n\nSoon after, Bitcoin crashed -- HARD. Dropping from $32 at its peak to $2 over the next few months -- one of the largest price drops in its history.\n\nI was dejected. I stopped talking about it with my friends.

A Paris court has found Vinnick guilty of money laundering and has ordered him to pay 100,000 (US$121,000) in fines. Vinnick was arrested in Greece back in 2017 under an international warrant issued by the US Department of Justice and was extradited to France earlier this year. The Justice Department accused Vinnick of operating BTC-e as a front for a massive money laundering operation that accepted stolen funds from cyberattacks. Security firm Wizsec previously linked his private BTC-e accounts to funds stolen from Mt. Gox . If youll recall, around $480 million worth of Bitcoins disappeared from the exchange service back in 2014 due to, as Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles called them, "weaknesses in the system." The US DOJ charged Vinnick with 17 counts of laundering up to $4 billion since the exchange was founded in 2011. Meanwhile, French prosecutors charged him for extortion, conspiracy and harming automatic data-processing systems. French authorities believe he helped create the ransomware Locky, which was spread through email and was used to attack French businesses and organizations between 2016 and 2018. At least 20 entities in the country ended up paying ransom money in Bitcoin to get their networks freed. Vinniks side argued in court that he was only a technical operator carrying out instructions from BTC-es directors. While the court still ended up convicting him for money laundering, its hardly the worst-case scenario for Vinnick. According to ZDNet , French prosecutors were only able to prove one of the 14 charges brought against him, and it wasnt the one involving Locky. That means he was able to avoid the 10-year sentence and the 750,000 fine the prosecutors had requested.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Zamusek', 'If "1BitcoinIsMyLifeGoal" messages you asking to trade BTC, do NOT trust him', 29, '2021-01-02 00:12', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/kolf8j/if_1bitcoinismylifegoal_messages_you_asking_to/', "He scammed me of 0.003 BTC, so yeah don't give him any of your bitcoin.

For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $15,190 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 7.16% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin and Litecoin rallied by 10.53% and by 8.38% to lead the way, with Ethereum rising by 6.06%. Binance Coin (+1.18%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.55%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.31%), Chainlink (+2.85%), Polkadot (+1.43%) and saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $678.76bn before surging to a Saturday high $866.00bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $830.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 69.13% before rising to a Saturday high 72.92%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 72.62. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.82% to $32,447.9. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $31,975.0 before rising to a high $32,501.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (+0.28%), Ethereum (+0.50%), and Litecoin (+0.54%) joined Bitcoin in the green, with Bitcoin Cash SV flat. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 7.52% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $31,492 to bring the first major resistance level at $33,983 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $33,292.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $34,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $36,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $35,784. Failure to avoid a fall through the $31,492 pivot would bring the first major support level at $29,691 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$29,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $27,200.

I had timed it perfectly, waiting for the zookeeper to walk to the next enclosure, and for the other visitors to move on with him. Now I was alone, and the rhinos were approaching the railing where I stood. I jumped up onto it, my ass hanging over the bar, 6 feet above the ground. I pulled down my trousers and my underpants. Hot shit slipped out of my ass, dropping with a splat onto the pile of rhino dung. Steam rose from the pile into the cool night sky. More shit plopped from my gaping ass into this same spot, splat splat splat, as the rhinos looked up at me with indifference. Stupid beasts I thought, such big horns and no sense of dignity. I continued to shit, but eventually became bored, and climbed down from the railing, pulling my trousers up as I did. I took one last look at the rhinos before I moved on. Two of them were staring mindlessly at the dung, while another was slowly trundling away. I walked away, and reached the chimpanzee enclosure.\n\n\nAgain I was alone. I peered into the glass, but could see no monkeys. I pressed my face against the glass, cupping my hands around my eyes, and squinted hard. Finally I saw one. I gestured to him “come here monkey, over here to the glass” with my hand, and reached into my coat pocket. When he arrived at the glass, I produced a cigarette, which I offered to him. He nodded, and I slipped the cigarette through a hole in the glass, which he carefully took into his mouth. I got out a cigarette for myself, and lit it with my lighter, taking a long drag before exhaling, blowing the smoke onto the glass. The monkey produced a set of matches from his fur, striking one against the glass and inhaling deeply while it ignited his cigarette, before blowing a cloud against the glass, just as I had. He shook the match to extinguish the flame, before taking the cigarette from his mouth, thumbing it thoughtfully as he leaned back, observing me as I enjoyed my own. A small chimp waddled over and looked up at the monkey; his son. He gave him a gentle pat on the head as he returned the cigarette to his lips, looking up at the evening sky, taking a deep drag as he watched the first stars of the night come into view from behind the clouds. With great ease he blew the smoke again from his mouth, and I watched it rise slowly, swirling and dancing in the gentle breeze, before dissipating completely. I too took a deep drag from my cigarette.\n\nThe small chimp was looking at me with wide black eyes. I looked up and blew black rings into the sky, then watched as the chimp stared up at the rings, the twinkling stars above reflecting in the deep dark pools of his eyes. His father joined me, and together we blew smoke rings into the sky, creating a spectacle, with small rings floating gently through larger rings, our rings joining and intertwining, passing through one another before emerging in new shapes, and disappearing again. We inhaled and exhaled deeply with skill and care, both of us responding to each other's moves and tricks, not in competition but in unison, as we let the crisp air flow through our lungs. Finally, we each blew a single ring which joined with the other, creating the symbol of infinity, which rose out of view without dissolving as the others had. The little chimp had fallen asleep. The monkey took his cigarette between two fingers, noticing it was almost completely spent, and took a final drag before tapping the ash into a small pile of stones, picking up his child, and extinguishing the stub with his foot. I did likewise, and we parted ways.\n\nThe zoo was closing, the last visitors walking slowly out as a contented murmur hung in the air. I walked through the turnstiles, and towards the orange glow of the filament bulb lamps which lined the street outside. A small crowd joined me at the bus stop, where I waited for 4 minutes before climbing on, dropping my change into the machine and taking my usual window seat in the middle row, downstairs. I sat and watched as we passed the usual traffic. The voice announced my stop, and I departed, taking a moment to look up at my apartment on the 14th floor, where the lights were on. I noticed a silhouette at the window, but it soon moved past. In the elevator up, muzak was playing.\n\nInside the apartment there was a smell of stir fry chicken with soy sauce, and I felt my mouth watering. That smells good, I said. My girlfriend Lindsey was inside the kitchen, but she didn't hear me. I repeated myself as I walked into the kitchen to join her. That smells good. I walked behind her chair and placed both hands on her shoulders, and she leaned her head back, smiling up at me. I bent down to kiss her and pushed my tongue into her mouth, savouring the kiss for fifteen seconds. She leaned back and continued her meal. I hope you like it, she said. It's your favourite after all. Yes, it does smell good, I said. I sat down opposite her and leaned forward for another kiss, and as our lips met I pushed my tongue into her mouth. I sat back and began to eat, the rich flavour of the soy sauce and the tender chicken teasing and tingling my taste buds. When I was finished I walked to the freezer, picking up a carton of lemon sorbet, which I took out on to the balcony, thanking Lindsey for the meal. I sat in the straw chair and she joined me, with a single spoon, and sat on my lap. We stared out at the skyline of the city, talking together and sharing the sorbet. It was ice cold and tangy, a refreshing dessert after the richness of the dinner. The conversation was similarly sharp.\n\nWe discussed literature, classical music, French cinema, and politics. Finally, at 11pm, we retired to the bedroom. Just before turning off the lights, she told me about her day. She works at a hospital, and today, two strange things had happened. A woman came into the emergency room with contusions on her neck, and two broken ankles. She had attempted to hang herself from a tree, but was too heavy, and the branch on which she had tied the rope had snapped. She had landed on her ankles and they both buckled under her considerable weight. Lindsey told me this woman's name. The second strange thing that had happened, involved herself. On the way to work, at the tram stop, she had given a homeless man some change. Later that day he arrived at the hospital, having stepped in front of the tram. She found no change in his pockets, but a small bag of crack. The homeless man was former president Bill Clinton.\nLindsey began to cry. I kissed her, pushing my tongue into her mouth, and fell asleep.\n\nIf I was to marry my former English teacher, we would be very happy in love. We would walk around holding hands and sometimes I would write stories for her, which she could grade and give me feedback on. Happy 2021 fellas keep stretching and twisting and don't forget to let rip a fat fart next time you're on public transport with sexy stupid teens... Give them a taste of reality (shit).\n\nI remember 2016 2017 MDE & MDB schizoposting. Now those were real men. I was so brainwashed and weak and stupid and cowardly and pathetic and spiteful but my schizoposts were really at their best ever level. Thankfully now I'm just balding and aimless, don't worry though I'm doing a good postgraduate degree and soon I'll be unemployed with meagre savings. My old idea that I might still do with my savings from wageslaving cleaning construction worker shit off of toilet seats is to go to an Eastern European country, or maybe just Amsterdam, pay for a hooker and film her. I could write a script for her to read naked I bet, and I could have her read me some chapters from my favourite books. I wonder what the hourly rate is, and how long it would take to read the Shadow of The Torturer? She could read the Jolenta / other girl parts and after every paragraph she could rub my shoulders and tell me she loves me. That's what I call money well spent.\n\nPlease share good altcoin recommendations, I've spent too long waiting for a BTC dip and I'm now on the verge of just FOMO'ing in with some chump change.\n\nPlease share your struggles over the past year in the comments and I will listen and respond just like old times when we were brothers, brothers with dreams.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bombstrap/comments/kp8c0y/the_only_woman_ive_ever_loved_was_my_former/', 'kp8c0y', [['u/Falv', 29, '2021-01-03 00:47', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bombstrap/comments/kp8c0y/the_only_woman_ive_ever_loved_was_my_former/ghvl34e/', 'I read this. \n\n\nBig vibes on the old MDE days.

Following on from a 9.65% rally on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 25.6% to $32,968.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $31,975.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $29,691, Bitcoin surged to a mid-morning intraday high and a new swing hi $34,873.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $33,983 to test resistance at $35,000 before hitting reverse. The reversal saw Bitcoin fall back to $32,200 levels before finding support. Avoiding negative territory, Bitcoin revisited $33,800 levels before falling back to sub-$33,000 levels. The first major resistance level at $33,983 had pinned Bitcoin back late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $34,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $15,794 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Sunday. Crypto.com Coin fell by 8.76% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Ethereum surged by 26.5% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+16.3%), Chainlink (+12.18%), and Litecoin (+17.8%) also impressed on the day. Binance Coin (+7.96%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+5.42%), Polkadot (+7.18%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.85%) trailed the front runners on the day. For the week, it was a mixed bag for the crypto majors, however. Ethereum and Polkadot surged by 43.3% and by 56.8% respectively to lead the way. Binance Coin (+23.0%), Cardano’s ADA (+33.7%), Chainlink (+12.9%), and Litecoin (+26.5%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash SV (+5.8%) and Crypto.com Coin (+3.5%) trailed the front runners with modest gains. Ripple’s XRP fell by 20.6%, however, to buck the trend in the week. In the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $678.76bn before rising to a Sunday high $924.85bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $867.05bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 69.13% before rising to a Sunday high 73.63%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 70.14%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.90% to $32,671.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $33,054.4 before falling to a low $32.352.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.37%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.73%), Chainlink (+2.44%), and Polkadot (+0.31%) found early support to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 2.62% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $33,272 to bring the first major resistance level at $34,569 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $34,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $34,873.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,170. Failure to move through the $36,272 pivot would bring the first major support level at $31,671 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$31,000 levels.

On Monday, crypto industry blogger Colin Wu tweeted that miners in China have been struggling to pay for electricity after the authorities started cracking down on over-the-counter (OTC) brokers in the country. The tweet notes that 74% of the miners surveyed told Wu that the payment of electricity bills has been greatly affected. China recently started blocking bank accounts and cards involved in purchases of cryptocurrency, and has investigated the two largest brokers, Zhao Dong and Xu Mingxing, Wu wrote in a blog post . Related: Custodian Anchorage Seeks Charter From Crypto-Friendly US Bank Regulator OCC Its currently a challenge for Chinese miners to convert bitcoin or tether into yuan because many people have had their bank accounts frozen when exchanging crypto for [renminbi] on OTC platforms, said Thomas Heller, formerly global business director at the mining pool F2Pool and now chief operation officer of mining and media firm HASHR8. As CoinDesk reported , in June, Chinese authorities ramped up efforts to block bank accounts that could be connected to illicit activities such as money laundering via cryptocurrency deals. It has always happened, but this year more than others, Heller told CoinDesk. I would say it has become more common in the last couple months. However, he played down the scale of any exodus of miners from China, even though HASHR8 is currently helping some operators to move their operations most to Russia but some to Kazakhstan. Related: SEC Chairman Jay Clayton Stepping Down at End of Year Most Chinese miners are mostly only familiar with the Chinese market, so its hard for them to move abroad and start mining, Heller explained. Its [the China OTC clampdown] another factor that may make overseas mining more attractive, however this alone is not enough to push them overseas. Rather, they would try to find some workarounds. Story continues Also read: Chinese Agency Scraps Plan to Eliminate Bitcoin Mining Industry In the meantime, some operators are unplugging their miners, Wu wrote in a blog post . There are also miners who said that their mining machines have been shut down for a month because they cannot sell the cryptocurrency to pay the electricity bill. Some OTC companies that specialize on serving mining firms have also terminated their business, Wu wrote. Most of the largest mining pools are based in China. An interactive map from Cambridge Universitys Centre for Alternative Finance shows that the nations miners currently account for almost 72% of the average monthly bitcoin hashrate, that is the computing power dedicated to supporting the network.

Today's Key News: ['By Caroline Valetkevitch NEW YORK (Reuters) -Global equity indexes mostly rose on Tuesday, with Wall Street rebounding from a weak start to the year, and oil prices settled up 5% after news that Saudi Arabia will make voluntary cuts to its oil output in February. Investors anxiously awaited the results of two Senate runoff races in the state of Georgia on Tuesday that are expected to determine the balance of power in Washington. A Democratic victory in both contests could tip control of the U.S. Senate away from Republicans, potentially boosting the agenda of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden. "Investors are taking a wait-and-see attitude ... There\'s a lot to be concerned about - not only in the U.S. with the elections but also because of the different strains of the virus that are now being reported around the globe," CFRA chief investment strategist Sam Stovall said. Georgia results are expected to be known by Wednesday morning, according to state officials. No Democrat has won a Senate race in Georgia in two decades, but opinion surveys show both races as exceedingly close. The start of vaccine rollouts boosted equities heading into the end of the year, and U.S. stocks ended 2020 at record highs. The discovery of a more contagious variant of the coronavirus and the latest virus-related restrictions have offset some of that optimism. Britain has begun its third national lockdown, and New York on Monday reported its first case of the coronavirus variant. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 167.71 points, or 0.55%, to close at 30,391.6, the S&P 500 gained 26.21 points, or 0.71%, to 3,726.86 and the Nasdaq Composite added 120.51 points, or 0.95%, to 12,818.96. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.19% and MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.62%. U.S. crude futures climbed 4.9% to settle at $49.93 a barrel. Brent crude futures also jumped 4.9%, settling at $53.60. Saudi Arabia pledged additional, voluntary oil output cuts of 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in February and March as part of a deal under which most producers from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies will hold production steady in the face of new coronavirus lockdowns. Story continues In the currency markets, the dollar fell against a basket of major currencies in the wake of China\'s decision to lift its official yuan exchange rate by its highest margin since it abandoned a dollar peg in 2005. The Chinese move helped support demand for other currencies. In the offshore market, the yuan strengthened as far as 6.4419 for the first time since June 2018. It started the week at 6.4944. The British pound recovered from a tumble on Monday, when a surge in COVID-19 cases in the United Kingdom forced the nationwide lockdown until mid-February. The dollar index fell 0.418%, with the euro up 0.35% to $1.2291. Sterling was last trading at $1.362, up 0.38% on the day. Bitcoin traded at $34,077.96, up 6.41%, following a roller-coaster ride that took it to a record high of $34,800 on Sunday and a subsequent tumble to as low as $27,734 the following session. Spot gold added 0.4% to $1,949.46 an ounce. In the bond market, benchmark U.S. 10-year notes last fell 12/32 in price to yield 0.9549%, from 0.917% late on Monday.

The greenback held gains from overnight in early Asian trading on Tuesday after U.S. stocks retreated from record highs at the start of the new year. The British pound was under pressure as Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered a nationwide lockdown to try and slow a fast-spreading coronavirus variant. Sterling was little changed at $1.3572 early in the Asian session. It slid 0.73% on Monday, the most since Dec. 10, after earlier rising to $1.3703, a level not seen since May 2018. The dollar index was flat at 89.865 after rebounding Monday from a 2-1/2-year low of 89.415. "The dollar will continue to trade with the general risk sentiment," said Shinichiro Kadota, senior currency strategist at Barclays Capital in Tokyo. The dollar has seen some buying amid an increase in COVID cases and ahead of key U.S. Senate elections, he said, but ultimately "generally positive risk sentiment should continue this year, and with that dollar continues to weaken against riskier currencies." The fate of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden\'s agenda, including rewriting the tax code, boosting stimulus and infrastructure spending, hinges firmly on Tuesday\'s twin Senate races in the battleground state of Georgia that will determine control of the chamber. The safe-haven Japanese yen was little changed at 103.135 per dollar. It advanced to 102.715 on Monday, the strongest level since March, as Japan\'s prime minister said the government is considering a state of emergency for Tokyo amid a surge in coronavirus cases. The euro was steady at $1.22535 after reaching $1.231 on Monday for the first time since April 2018. Bitcoin traded at $32,860 following a roller-coaster ride to start the new year that took it to a record high of $34,800 on Sunday, followed by a tumble to as low as $27,734 the following session. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 9:45AM (045 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Euro/Dollar $1.2254 $1.2252 +0.03% +0.30% +1.2255 +1.2247 Dollar/Yen 103.1250 103.1750 -0.04% -0.15% +103.1750 +103.1350 Euro/Yen 126.37 126.33 +0.03% -0.43% +126.4000 +126.3200 Dollar/Swiss 0.8813 0.8812 +0.03% -0.36% +0.8816 +0.8815 Sterling/Dollar 1.3572 1.3562 +0.10% -0.64% +1.3577 +1.3562 Dollar/Canadian 1.2778 1.2775 +0.03% +0.35% +1.2788 +1.2778 Aussie/Dollar 0.7669 0.7665 +0.08% -0.28% +0.7672 +0.7661 NZ 0.7175 0.7175 +0.06% -0.03% +0.7178 +0.7170 Dollar/Dollar All spots Tokyo spots Europe spots Volatilities Tokyo Forex market info from BOJ (Reporting by Kevin Buckland; Editing by Sam Holmes)', '* Dollar index Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

She was no stranger to programming languages. Studying information systems at Carnegie Mellon, she spent the first few years after graduation as full-stack developer for Silicon Valley startups. She was proficient in a half-dozen coding languages and had worked for five tech companies in her nascent career. She was working for Coinbase at the time. This article is part of CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2020 – a list of impactful people in crypto chosen by readers and staff. The NFT of the art, by Osinachi , is available for auction at The Nifty Gateway , with 50% of the sale going to charity. Related: Hayden Adams: King of the DeFi Degens But she had never read code like this. “At first I was in disbelief,” she told CoinDesk. “It’s an insanely intimidating project.” On Peter McCormack’s “What Bitcoin Did” podcast, she likened her baptism into Bitcoin Core – Bitcoin’s primary software version – as more of an introduction to Babel than a revelation. “Is this Arabaic? What do I do here? I was endlessly opening files going, ‘cool, cool, cool,’” she said, describing her first experience with Bitcoin Core. Related: Balaji Srinivasan: The Man Who Called COVID She doesn’t remember what led her to dip her toes into Bitcoin Core – or, as the backpacking Uttarwar would likely analogize, take the first step from the trailhead. But she does recall thinking whatever trail Bitcoin took her down would be a short trek, not a multi-year exploration. “At the time it just seemed another small thing I was learning about. I had no idea that it would blow up into my career and my passion,” she said. Four grants, hundreds of Github commits and a Forbes “30 Under 30” profile later, she was surely wrong about that. The first known woman to contribute to Bitcoin Core, she’s also the first woman to receive funding to work on Bitcoin Core full time. And she’s spending this opportunity to do more than improve Bitcoin’s code – she’s also mentoring the young, promising minds of Bitcoin’s next generation of developers. Story continues Her meteoric success as one of Bitcoin Core’s first fully funded developers – and as one of its brightest new minds for development and mentorship – earned her a spot in CoinDesk’s Most Influential list for 2020. Finding bitcoin Amiti Uttarwar, 28, was born to Indian-American immigrants into the burgeoning, buzzing techno-metropolis of 1990s Silicon Valley, California. After elementary school and high school she attended The Harker School, a renowned college prep school founded in San Jose in 1893. For college, she would study information systems at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, spending her summers interning for a handful of tech startups. Returning home from Pennsylvania after receiving her degree, Uttarwar’s graduation threw her into Silicon Valley’s electric, break-it-until-you-make-it startup scene. She began her career as a full-stack developer, a term for a general-purpose position, which meant she “did what needed to be done” (and is a catch-all title Uttarwar “doesn’t really like”). Cutting her teeth at Wanelo, a commerce app marketed toward Generation Z patrons, she would move on to Simbi, an invite-only marketplace for freelancers where payment is made in time and skills, not money. A bit bohemian and a bit experimental with its approach to invoicing, Simbi was more in tune with Uttarwar’s own values than Wanelo, but she still wasn’t fully absorbed in her work. This was during 2017, a time when Bitcoin was tearing through all time highs and “suddenly everyone in San Francisco was working in ‘the blockchain scene,’” she said in a Forbes interview this summer. Eventually her own interest was piqued. Her first point of contact was a TED talk on blockchain and then (naturally) the Bitcoin white paper, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto. Having entered Bitcoin’s orbit, it wasn’t long before she was sucked in. I realized I couldn’t go back to a normal job. “I was never the type of person to do professional work outside of my job. I was the type of person who was like, ‘I have my job, and I’m happy that it ends.’ “In my free time I spend time in the mountains or play guitar [which are] more balancing activities. Falling down this rabbit whole was the first time I found myself devoting my free time to something so close to my work.” She began watching as many technical videos on Bitcoin as she could. Commuting home from work, she would sit on the BART – San Francisco’s transit system – with her eyes glued to her smartphone, another TED talk or explainer video dancing in technicolor on the screen. Her days became programmatic, precise. Not unlike Bitcoin itself, her every move was dictated by mathematical exactness. Every ticking second was planned, optimized and executed intentionally. Rise, eat, work, learn, sleep, repeat. “I got ultra cerebral about optimizing my life,” she told CoinDesk with a laugh. What was driving Uttarwar further down the rabbit hole was unlike any motivation she had encountered so far in her young career as a developer. “I was shocked at how much energy I had. I could spend an entire day at work and still want to look at Bitcoin code,” she expressed, saying how her social calendar soon became filled up with meetups at Stanford and Berkeley Bitcoin and blockchain clubs. This was at the same time as the 2016-2017 initial coin offering (ICO) boom and Uttarwar was “reading a lot of white papers, some of which were bullst,” she commented wryly. It was in these academic environments that she was exposed to the “more legitimate projects” and to the “fundamentals” underpinning Bitcoin. From here, her curiosity was aroused even more and her focus became “How can I get closer?” From Coinbase to Core The answer came from a lesson in perseverance. Uttarwar applied for a job at Coinbase, one of the hottest startups in a blooming crypto industry, shortly after she was not accepted into a 2018 residency at Chaincode Labs, a summer program in New York where promising Bitcoin developers research and develop with guidance from Chaincode’s engineers. While there, she was involved in a number of projects, including, in her words, the “definitely stressful … high-stakes” job of helping with a mammoth $1 billion transfer of Coinbase funds from an old “cold wallet” (an offline storage technique) to a new one. All the while, she continued to research and learn until eventually her passion would outgrow her paycheck. On a pivotal night for her career, she met Bitcoin Core developer and educator John Newbery at a developers dinner. She had laughed off the notion that she could work on Bitcoin Core full time, but Newbery wasn’t joking. “John Newberry created an opportunity, broke it down for me into related achievable steps. Once on-boarded, I was able meet new people, reach out, discuss ideas. Having that initial boost of confidence and some guidance for where to channel my initial efforts was enough to get me started and going.” Once she started, she “seized the opportunity obsessively,” she said. She received permission from her supervisor to take a sabbatical for a spot in Chaincode Lab’s coveted Bitcoin residency. No need for a third time. After being rejected the first go around, Uttarwar made the cut for Chaincode’s 2019 residency. At last, Amiti Uttarwar was finally getting closer. And after a summer laboring in the cryptic bowels of Bitcoin’s code, she returned to Coinbase when the residency was finished and knew her calling was working on Bitcoin in an open-source environment. “I realized I couldn’t go back to a normal job. I realized that this is what I want to spend all my time doing right now,” she said. She quit Coinbase in September of 2019 and threw herself into Bitcoin Core once again. It wasn’t long before she found a benefactor in Xapo, a crypto wallet and banking services company. Today, she’s still a free agent, and she’s still attracting funding. OKCoin and BitMEX jointly granted her $150,000 this year to continue her work on transaction relay privacy and automated testing procedures for code development. Going pro Uttarwar is one of the fortunate few of Bitcoin Core’s top echelon of coders who have received grants for their work. For the majority of Bitcoin’s short history, developers have worked on its open-source software on a volunteer basis. It hasn’t been until recent years that core developers have been paid to maintain and improve Bitcoin’s code. 2020 has been a watershed year for open-source Bitcoin development grants. The Human Rights Foundation has funded Chris Belcher, Gloria Zhao and others, and has secured more funding for 2021 from donors like Gemini. Other exchanges such as BitMEX and OKCoin have consistently funded developers since 2018. Square Crypto, the research and development arm of Jack Dorsey’s Square, has funded more than half a dozen developers. Other Bitcoin companies, including Blockstream and Chaincode Labs, have been funding Bitcoin development since the early days. Developers with access to funding, however, are definitely in the minority. Plenty of others work on Bitcoin Core or other Bitcoin software without hope of remuneration. Even the lucky ones who are funded are making less than they might if they worked for a tech company. Uttarwar, who is taking a “big pay cut” by working on Bitcoin, said there’s “no strong financial incentive” to undertake the laborious and inglorious work of Core development. The drive to do it, then, is the same thing that kept Uttarwar up at night researching when she still had her 9-to-5 job: raw passion. Perhaps this is why, as she says, “The hardest hurdle to overcome is the emotional one.” “Core development requires a solid understanding of the self and sustaining your intention which requires a lot of emotional regulation,” she continued. For those working on core full time, it’s “easy to get overwhelmed” and burned out.

My first few months (years?) in crypto SUCKED. Luckily, I stuck with things and am doing pretty well. Here are some things I wish I knew back then in case there are some new people here looking to get into it:\n\n1. Be clear about why you are buying crypto. Decide if you want to HODL or trade (you can do both) and stick to that strat. If you are buying because you believe in the tech, then you should not be selling...at all. The price will go up again, eventually. This requires discipline. I held through the COVID-19 dump in early 2020...just. The reality is crypto is a long game...think of it like you would if buying a house.\n2. If you decide to "trade" be aware that this is a market and the main players in the market (experienced traders with LOTS of money) are there to take your money. You are at a poker table with pro players. The odds are against you.\n3. When buying or selling any crypto, do the opposite of what your gut tells you. TA aside (and there is a lot to be said for understanding fundamentals of technical analysis), big green candles should be a sell signal (not a buy signal). Big red candles are probably a buy signal (not a sell signal). If the price is mooning and you think you should buy, don’t. You missed the opportunity. You just need to be patient. If you do FOMO in and the price drops soon after you buy, then you should definitely not sell. The price usually recovers anyway - it can be days, months or even years (ETH is yet to get back to its ATH).\n4. If you want to \'day trade\' with margin/leverage, set aside an amount you are prepared to lose and just trade off that in a seperate account. Never leverage off your entire holdings. It will cloud your decision making. It\'s possible to get pretty good returns on a 10x leverage with $500. I turned $500 into $5000 pretty easily (after losing about $1500 in the learning process). But BY FAR my biggest returns are from just HOLDING.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kqkgsb/4_things_i_wish_someone_told_me_about_trading/', 'kqkgsb', [['u/rndmsecretaccount', 155, '2021-01-05 00:13', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kqkgsb/4_things_i_wish_someone_told_me_about_trading/gi4bu1y/', 'Most people\xa0overestimate what\xa0they can do\xa0in one\xa0year\xa0and underestimate what\xa0they can do in ten years.', 'kqkgsb'], ['u/BabyFight', 14, '2021-01-05 00:43', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kqkgsb/4_things_i_wish_someone_told_me_about_trading/gi4fgyk/', 'Well said Mr. Hands of Steel.

Adding to broader uncertainty in markets was the latest twist in a regulatory saga over whether the New York Stock Exchange would delist three Chinese telecom giants on security grounds.

The “Mill Girls” of Lowell, Mass., made up 75% of all textile workers in the U.S. In the 1830s, they took jobs to put their brothers through college and feed their families. These young women, starting to work at age 15, were the fabric of their community’s economic production. It was the close-knit nature of their sisterhood that became what we now know as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the AFL-CIO. Labor has traditionally organized people in a common cause like union representation. Most of us have had to sell our labor for capital that someone else owns, giving us an incentive to work for common workplace standards. But that traditional labor-for-capital model has been joined by another driver of economic activity. Now our data is the labor that drives capital creation and distribution. And it’s time for us to take back what our communities are owed. James Felton Keith is the author of “Inclusionism,” founding president of the Data Union, and advisory board member at the Streamr Network. Related: Why Bitcoin Thrives (and Why It Won't Replace the Dollar) The Lowell organizing efforts were notable not only for the “unfeminine” participation of women, but also for the political framework used to appeal to the public. They warned that “the oppressing hand of avarice would enslave us.” They used this sentiment in an 1836 strike song. Oh! isn’t it a pity, such a pretty girl as I Should be sent to the factory to pine away and die? Oh! I cannot be a slave, I will not be a slave, Related: Crypto Execs Need Liability Insurance For I’m so fond of liberty, That I cannot be a slave . In the modern era newspapers, NGOs and government officials from every continent are asking, “Are we slaves to big data?” Unlike the community of mill women, we’re not organizing for wages, not alone, we’re organizing for income based on the value of our community-of-participants. The thread of our data is the seminal input to every company’s productivity. Story continues In the EU Last week, I received a leaked copy of the forthcoming European Data Governance Act (DGA). We anticipate some form of this legislation to pass the European Parliament in the March 2021 time frame. The legislation mentions “data unions” explicitly in sections 26 and 27. (26) An emerging variant are data cooperatives or data unions that seek to achieve a number of objectives… (27) …data cooperatives as intermediaries between data subjects and potential data users in the economy Data unions (or cooperatives or collectives or communities) are a relatively new-old concept for a new natural resource: personal data. Unlike its wage-based rival of time, data is what economists call a non-rival good, meaning multiple users can consume it at once. Per the language of Europe’s recently enacted privacy regulation (GDPR) both data controllers (big tech platforms) and data processors (lil’ app companies) can generate value on data about you and your community alongside other firms, in the words of rapper Future, At The Same Damn Time . Now our data is the labor that drives capital creation and distribution. And it’s time for us to take back what our communities are owed. There is a market failure here. All good markets produce adequate arbitrageurs (arbs), and in the current market the argument about 1) what data is, 2) the price of data and 3) who is owed it, is one-sided. One who engages in arbitrage, an individual or an institution, has a formal opinion on the value (i.e. price) of a good. In this case a good is your data. One example of a current data union is the software application Swash . The app provides transparency on the monetization of your browser data and in-turn provides the opportunity to offer a different opinion in price. This is where a data union gets interesting. If entity A (your browser) suggests that your data is worth an amount for their identifiable buyers and entity B (an app like Swash) suggests that your data is worth another amount, a third party can technically participate in the buyers market for your data to arb an actual price. See also: Ben Powers – The Web Wasn’t Built for Privacy, but It Could Be Another example of a current data union is the Data Dividend Project ’s attempt to litigate on behalf of what we call data subjects (people) to seek redress for mispricing or misuse of a particular community’s personal data through its technological or non-technological platform. The success of a data union seeking legal remedies would ideally trigger the implementation of a technological data union, like the app mentioned. Data unions can bring balance to a business case as exploitative as the music industry’s treatment of talent that puts their community’s culture on display. On the heels of the European Union passing the DGA, I am anticipating a wave of data cooperatives to pop up in an ad hoc way, based on the demand of visionary labor activists across all continents that host transnational companies. I’m aware of at least 50 data unions organizing in the shadows of the western world right now. Three ways There are three ways we can make data unions happen. Data Union as a Policy is a method of insisting that cooperatives of data subjects (individuals) exist, by elected officials and governmental bodies. Data Union as a Lawsuit is a method of data subjects suing data users (institutions) for redress in scenarios where there are claims by individuals for indemnification. Data Union as Tech is a method of embedding technologies that create a distribution mechanism for rightful compensation based on transactions between data subjects and users. In the 2020s, these three types of data union methods will fortify a new way of indemnifying people for their participation in the world. I think it’ll transform how people view economics, ethics and human rights. With the EU’s DGA passing, I expect to see dozens of organized labor groups adopt some form of data union approach. This generation will know that its #DataIsLabor.

I use to think it was so hard but once I learned how to it was the easiest thing ever. I would love to teach others how to actually purchase BTC and deposit it to bet.\n\nThe first way is to use Coinbase.\n\nStep 1) The first step is to buy BTC on Coinbase either with ur card or bank account. Only issues is u have to wait sometimes a few days to receive the BTC if you pay with your bank. (Instant if you use debit card) \n\n\nStep 2) The next step isn’t needed but I like to the deposit the BTC from my Coinbase account into Coinbase pro on a web browser. Just log into the same Coinbase account and hit deposit and click from Coinbase account. (apparently less fees when sending to your wallet from Coinbase pro than Coinbase.) \n\n\nStep 3) This is the most important step which is to use a BTC wallet which will act as a “middle man” between the exchange your purchased your BTC on and the sportsbook. I have been using Blockhain wallet on the iOS store. Very simple, easy, and safe. Here you will withdraw your BTC from Coinbase pro account or Coinbase and you will send it to the address your Blockchain wallet provides. \n\n\nStep 4) Once received in your Blockchain wallet, all you do is then send the BTC from your wallet to the address that is on your sportsbook when you hit “deposit with Bitcoin.”\n\n\nThis is the simplest way I have found to deposit and bet on offshore websites. It’s so much easier using BTC than a debit or credit card that could get comprised. \n\n\nYou can also use Cashapp which you should get your BTC instantly. \n\n\nStep 1) Buy BTC on cash app.\n\n\nStep 2) Send the BTC from cashapp to your BTC wallet. Again I like using Blockchain if you have an iPhone. Works great.\n\n\nStep 3) Then from the blockchain wallet you send to \nyour sportsbook BTC deposit address. Simple as that!\n\n\nI hope this helps some of you out who want to learn how to use BTC instead of your debit or credit cards. Once I learned how simple and easy this was, I will never use any other way.\n\nEDIT: Cashapp seems to be the best for instant purchases. On Coinbase you have to wait a few days when purchased with bank account. Debit card is instant, however most banks don’t allow this to work.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsbook/comments/kradfb/how_to_buy_and_use_bitcoin_on_offshore_books/', 'kradfb', [['u/notreal1121', 14, '2021-01-06 01:03', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsbook/comments/kradfb/how_to_buy_and_use_bitcoin_on_offshore_books/gi8tbzu/', 'Cashapp is perfect', 'kradfb']]], ['u/SirTuffers', 'I know wen moon', 34, '2021-01-06 00:44', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/IOTAmarkets/comments/krb1r6/i_know_wen_moon/', "Moon comes from retail investor frenzy.

Market moves Related: Bitcoin May Have Hit Wall of Profit Takers Around $19,500: Analyst For so many reasons, 2020 will go down in history books. For many of those same reasons, it could go down in economics textbooks. This year saw the biggest drop-off in economic activity since the Great Depression, the biggest money-printing episode in the Federal Reserve’s 107-year history, an epochal shift toward remote working, negative prices for crude-oil futures and the first real signs the global financial system might be migrating toward fast-growing markets for cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Bitcoin was invented just 11 years ago as the first and original cryptocurrency, intended for use in an electronic peer-to-peer payment system that wouldn’t be controlled by any person, business or government. At the start of the year, bitcoin was still considered a fringe investment, disparaged by the likes of the billionaire investor Warren Buffett as having “no value.” By the end of the year, bitcoin had pushed to the center of conversations among big investors and Wall Street firms – cast by proponents as a hedge against the potential currency debasement that might come from trillions of dollars of coronavirus-related stimulus money emanating from central banks and governments around the world. Others saw growing mainstream acceptance of the cryptocurrency and its underlying blockchain network as validation of a landmark technology that might forever change finance. Story continues Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Pushes Past $19.2K; Ether at 3% of BTC Price Whatever the case, the bitcoin market in 2020 offered as good a prism as any through which to view the year’s monumental economic developments – and the responses to the crisis from national authorities and monetary policymakers. Over the course of the next several days, First Mover will provide a recap of how the bitcoin market evolved over the course of the year, with prices for the cryptocurrency nearly tripling, attracting bullish commentary from big traditional-finance players including JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock , AllianceBernstein, Morgan Stanley and Tudor Investment. That story might really represent another way of recounting the broader narrative in which low interest rates and the dollar’s reign as the global reserve currency allowed the U.S. government and its corporations to amass a heavy debt load in the years before the coronavirus hit. Once it did, the response was to invoke what one leading economist described as the “war machine” – the Federal Reserve financing U.S. government emergency-relief packages costing trillions of dollars. Eventually, markets from stocks to bonds became hooked on the expectation that stimulus would be provided in amounts needed to keep investors from suffering losses deep enough to impair confidence and derail the economic recovery. All the while China pushed forward with its plan to roll out a digital version of its yuan, raising the specter that a virtual currency from the world’s second-biggest economy might eventually challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance in payments for global trade. In the U.S. and elsewhere, billions of dollars of venture capital and trader money flowed into an array of obscure digital tokens on blockchain-based, semi-autonomous trading and lending systems – collectively known as “decentralized finance,” or DeFi; the fast-paced growth suggested that digital-asset markets might represent a haven of innovation in an otherwise stagnant global banking system. Whether due to causation or correlation or merely wishful thinking, the bitcoin market, long viewed as a hotbed of volatility and unfettered speculation, suddenly seemed to rise with nearly every new twist. Coming Tuesday: Even before the coronavirus hit, bitcoin traders and mainstream economists alike were growing increasingly concerned about the slowing U.S. economy, rapid growth in corporate debt and whether the dollar faced growing threats to its global monetary hegemony. – Bradley Keoun Bitcoin watch Bitcoin’s revived uptrend could soon lead to a much-anticipated breakout above the $20,000 mark. “We have witnessed a large move up over the weekend, with MicroStrategy’s efforts to increase bitcoin holdings from several large players bringing with it fresh optimism,” Matthew Dibb, chief operations officer of Stack Funds, told CoinDesk. “Our belief is that we will see a breach of $20,000 in the coming weeks.” On Friday, business-intelligence firm MicroStrategy raised $650 million through a convertible senior note sale to fund bitcoin purchases; the deal was upsized from $550 million. Since then, the cryptocurrency has rallied by over $1,000 and was last seen trading near $19,100, according to CoinDesk 20 data. The cryptocurrency nearly doubled from $10,000 to a new record high of $19,920 in the 12 weeks to Dec. 1, before falling to $17,700 last week amid a bout of profit taking. Pullbacks are a normal element of bull markets and often recharge the engines for a bigger ascent. Kenetic Capital’s CEO Jehan Chu also foresees bitcoin marching onward with “two steps forward, one step back” price action. The breakout, however, may remain elusive until the new year, as some investors are still looking to sell around record highs. “The topside is still kept with lots of selling orders, possibly from miners,” Patrick Heusser, head of trading at Zurich-based Crypto Broker AG, told CoinDesk over Twitter. – Omkar Godbole Read More: Bitcoin Still on Track to Breach $20K in Coming Weeks What’s hot Fidelity’s Abigail Johnson says cryptocurrency industry is moving so quickly that “trying to keep up with it is very hard” ( CryptoSlate ) Bitcoin is a “fascinating representation of animal spirits and speculation,” DoubleLine’s Jeff Gundlach says ( Business Insider ) An additional $600B of bitcoin demand could materialize if pension funds and insurance companies in the U.S., euro area, U.K. and Japan allocate 1% of portfolios to the asset, compared with the cryptocurrency’s current market capitalization of about $350B, JPMorgan analysts write in new report ( Bloomberg ) Wall Street heavyweights moving into bitcoin are the enemy to many who hail from the cryptocurrency’s cypherpunk roots, CoinDesk’s Michael Casey writes in Money Reimagined newsletter ( CoinDesk ) China aims for gradual consumer adoption of digital yuan, former central bank governor Zhao says ( South China Morning Post ) 19-year-old Ukrainian lawmaker discloses ownership of $24.5M of cryptocurrency monero ( CoinDesk ) Sygnum, a digital-asset firm with a Swiss banking license, claims to be first bank in world to tokenize its own shares ( CoinDesk ) Aegis Custody clears hurdle in bid for South Dakota trust charter ( CoinDesk ) CEO of DeFi insurer Nexus Mutual hacked for $8M in NXM tokens ( CoinDesk ) Bitcoin exchanges flood London’s Metro with ads ( CoinDesk ) Analogs The latest on the economy and traditional finance Morgan Stanley says there’s a chance a no-deal Brexit could prompt Bank of England to cut benchmark interest rates below zero ( Reuters ) Remote-working shift loosens Silicon Valley’s tight grip on tech industry ( WSJ ), and Google opens door to “flexible workweek” ( NYT ) Shandong Ruyi Technology Group, once considered the “LVMH of China,” cancels bondholder meeting over possible debt-maturity extension as coronavirus exacerbates “liquidity pressure” and interest payment looms this week ( Nikkei Asia Review ) Suspected Russian hackers are believed to have broken into the U.S. Treasury and Commerce departments and have been monitoring internal email traffic ( Reuters ) Tweet of the day Related Stories First Mover: Horrible 2020 Economy Proved Best Thing for Bitcoin First Mover: Horrible 2020 Economy Proved Best Thing for Bitcoin... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

(Reporting by Imani Moise; Editing by Sam Holmes)', "It took me a little more than a year to get cynical. In December, 2019 I implored against the inherent cynicism of so thoroughly anticipating baseball to behave like a cold-hearted business that you barely bother to wish it wouldn\x92t. Save some earnest outrage \x97 the kind that\x92s only possible if you get your hopes up \x97 for owners who aren\x92t trying, I reasoned. Otherwise you\x92re just giving them preemptive cover not to. After all, fans didn\x92t force billionaires to buy sports franchises when Bitcoin or Google stocks or whatever else are right there. Even if it becomes expected to treat a public-facing facet of community culture like an investment in your portfolio, it still shouldn\x92t be accepted. Two months later, the Boston Red Sox traded Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers , who would go on to win a World Series in his first year in L.A. (in between some other stuff happening). As promised, I was furious . Betts, a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, was shipped out of the city he brought a ring to for the sake of getting the Sox under the competitive balance tax threshold, and because we accept as incontrovertible that teams should expect more return on investment for a talented player than simply his talent on the field in the years that they pay him. In short, it was about saving money instead of building a better baseball team. That wasn\x92t new at the time but it seemed worth spelling out, excoriating the central figure (John Henry) and questioning why he had even bothered to buy the baseball team. The Mookie Betts trade of this offseason just happened: After telegraphing that they would prioritize financial flexibility over the face of their franchise for years (again, a kind of critique that eventually functions as an excuse if you repeat it enough), Cleveland traded shortstop Francisco Lindor and veteran starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to the Mets in exchange for infielders Amed Rosario and Andrés Giménez and a couple of prospects . Story continues The fact that a team would willingly trade Francisco Lindor is a sign of baseball's rot. (AP Photo/Aaron Doster) Carrasco is a beloved starter with a track record of success that bolsters the back end of a top-heavy Mets rotation. Lindor, just like Betts had been, is a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, and the Mets will likely look to extend him before he ever becomes a free agent . And the return to Cleveland? I\x92m sure it was the best their front office could find after abdicating the obvious leverage of making it seem like you even want to keep a perennial All-Star in his prime. On one hand, the analysis is easy: No one thinks this is anything other than a salary dump for Cleveland, which is left with the lowest projected payroll in baseball . On the other hand, the analysis is becoming unnecessary: Color me cynical because I\x92m running out of ways or will to complain that baseball owners don\x92t treat the game with the same enthusiasm, affection, effort, or even interest as a casual fan, let alone a participant. It\x92s hard to find something new to say because what\x92s the point of parsing the symptoms when the disease itself has already been diagnosed? Smarter people than I have written incisive takedowns of a system that\x92s doing exactly what it\x92s supposed to : Namely, enrich the owners with little risk. The past few years have been nothing if not a repetitive, eye-opening testament to how owners would rather profit than win \x97 and while not mutually exclusive, those endgames are increasingly divorced from each other.

France is looking to eliminate anonymity in the crypto sector. And an exposé into how FinCEN became a honeypot for personal information. Banking playPaxos is making moves to become afederally regulated bank in the U.S., according to a filing with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The stablecoin issuer and crypto services firm is seeking to create the Paxos National Trust, which would operate out of New York and incorporate as one of the first crypto-native banks in the U.S. There are two paths to achieving bank status, the state-chartered route through Wyoming (that Kraken and Avanti used) or the federal route, which is also being pursued by BitPay and Anchorage. La Terreur?The French Ministry of Financeunveiled sweeping know-your-customer(KYC) requirements Wednesday on all cryptocurrency companies operating in and servicing the country, a move that could ultimately strip the French crypto space of any semblance of anonymity. All virtual asset service providers must immediately begin checking their customers’ identities, verifying “beneficial owners” and prohibit anonymous crypto accounts, according to the press release. The government said the action was taken to prevent terrorist financing, a broadside that has justified the encroachment of centralized powers over many civil liberties.

There is little sense of the amount of personal data, what types of data and how long the agency holds on to data or shields it from malicious actors – and the agency wouldn’t answer questions. “You’ve got personal, private information in a database and allegations of conduct,” said Melissa G.R.

In a Tuesday report, BofA analysts said a digital euro, a central bank digital currency with accounts and reserves held by the supranational European Central Bank, would cut into commercial bank deposits and reduce the need for third parties. Analysts criticized the ECB’s steadfast attention on China’s digital yuan and Diem’s (formerly Libra’s) multinational stablecoin, as a cause for developing a CBDC. “Money, like internet data, has a strong tendency to monopoly,” they wrote. Dollar vs. BTCMorgan Stanley Investment Management Chief Global Strategist Ruchir Sharma saidbitcoin is already cutting into the U.S. dollar. “Today, most bitcoins are held as an investment, not used to pay bills, but that is changing,” Sharma wrote in a Financial Times op-ed. He further argued that “bitcoinwill gain” as its traditional competitors falter – even if the market bubble were to burst.

CoinDesk’s Nikhilesh De reports nine U.S. lawmakers of both major political parties havewritten an open letterto Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Jay Clayton Wednesday and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) seeking clarification. What is crypto custodianship, anyway? To date, only a few companies in the crypto space have become registered broker-dealers, including Watchdog Capital, Harbor (which was acquired by BitGo) and Prometheum. Though there is reportedly a backlog of applications sitting with FINRA. “CoinDesk reported in June 2019 FINRA had been sitting on a number of broker-dealer applications from firms that touch crypto, some for over a year. FINRA had taken no actions to approve or disapprove these applications, letting them sit in a sort of limbo,” De wrote. The most recent letter asks the SEC and FINRA to confirm whether banks can provide custody services for digital securities; asks for a clearer pathway for crypto custodians to register with FINRA; and for FINRA to move on outstanding applications. Though there are a number of issues that complicate the question. First is the issue of private keys – a special bit of code that confers complete access, control and ownership over a crypto asset – and which party controls them. Second is the ambiguous classification of cryptocurrencies, which depending on intended use, level of decentralization and other considerations could fall along the commodity to security spectrum. (All securities are commodities, but not all commodities – like gift cards, for instance – are securities.) This is important, because, as De notes, broker-dealers in the crypto space may also lose Securities Investor Protection Act protections if the crypto assets are deemed not tobe securities, the agencies said. Three of the lawmakers involved in this bill, plus Rep. Scott Perry, have also sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, “expressing our concern” aboutrumored self-hosted wallet regulations. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted last month that Mnuchin was “planning to rush out” these new regulations, which would apparently require crypto exchanges to verify know-your-customer data for self-hosted wallets before they could send cryptocurrencies off of their platforms and into the wallets. According to Wednesday’s letter, this potential regulation would “hinder American leadership,” preclude U.S. actors from participating in the space and “undermine the Treasury Department from stopping illicit actors from exploiting the financial system.” Art auctionLooking to make someone (or just yourself) happy this yuletide holiday?

Additionally, some amount of Tether and crypto from Binance is making it to Kraken and Coinbase to cash out via fiat markets. A couple weeks ago, the ratio of Tether to real fiat was about 4x, and now it's about 10x, effectively leveraging up the entire crypto market place, except about 90% of the cash is (likely) to be worthless in the near future, as exchanges around the world become increasingly liable for money laundering and unbacked Tether due to changing laws around the world.\n\nTl;dr;tl;dr\nUSD to USDT markets (Kraken) are being directly drained by Tether. Fiat markets (primarily Coinbase) are being indirectly drained by Tether via pumping up Bitcoin prices and cashing out. DeFi and Tether exchanges are being drained of their non-tether crypto in exchange for Tether, potentially via collateralized loans offering very attractive interest rates. Fiat off ramps will likely close to Tether this month, and Tether exchanges hunted down over the next year or two as Tether is shut out of more and more exchanges.\n\nFurther thoughts below:\nAs the bitcoiners would say, do your own research! (dyor)\n\nBut I've spent some time doing napkin research on flows, money laundering, and money laundering laws.\n\nSo let's start: 1) Bittrex and Poloniex are already involved in the NYAG Tether lawsuit, so I think it's they're likely to be held liable for running a Tether based exchange when new Anti Money Laundering rules take effect.\n\n2) ChainAnalysis's report on crypto money laundering identifies Huobi and Binance as accounting for roughly 50% of all crypto money laundering. All other exchanges (most likely tether based), peer 2 peer, and and DeFi markets account for the other 50%, which will be harder to deal with than a centralized exchange but also have less volume. https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/money-laundering-cryptocurrency-2019\n\n3) Researching Binance, it's based out of Malta, an EU country, and Huobi, based out of the Seychelles. This means to effectively deal with money laundering on these exchanges requires legal changes in those countries.\n\n4) At the end of December, the USA published new anti money laundering rules for crypto with an extremely short 15 day comment period before they take effect. So some time in January, these laws take effect. The key changes seem to be requiring exchanges to verify positive control on all sends and receives, the requirement that exchanges maintain 100% backing for all stable coins, and that individuals and exchanges can be held liable for touching laundered cryptocurrency. This opens exchanges and individuals in the USA to legal liability, and makes the usage of Tether a legal liability if 100% backing at the exchange can't be verified. This opens US based exchanges that use Tether to money laundering charges this month, as well as individuals involved with it. Coinbase doesn't use Tether, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them get served court papers just because of their size in the cryptocurrency space, the largest fiat on/off ramp. https://www.pymnts.com/cryptocurrency/2020/us-treasury-proposes-new-disclosure-rules-on-bitcoin-other-cryptos/\n\n5) The EU is rolling out new crypto anti money laundering laws under 6AMLD, that are required to take effect on June 3rd. As an EU member, Malta will then be obligated to take action against Binance, which is based out of Malta. https://www.electronicid.eu/en/blog/post/what-is-6amld/en\n\n6) The Seychelles, home of the #2 money launderer Huobi, is also launching new crypto anti money laundering rules, rolling out sometime between now and 2023. Based on their strategic plan, it looks like most of these will be implemented in the August to December time frame this year, opening up Huobi to legal action. https://www.seychellesf...

Here's a chart of its recent gains, via YCharts (note, it's a tiny bit behind, so use the chart as a directional instead of absolute tool): What else is there to say about the rally? We could note that bitcoin miner revenue remains far below its historical peaks, despite some recent gains. We could also point out that the aggregate value of all mined bitcoin in the wild is at an all-time high, per CoinMarketCap data . The real upshot? Bitcoin is showing it has long-term staying power even with all its historical volatility. But not everything is perfect in the world of bitcoin. Looking around the crypto market, the DeFi boom looks mostly based on the Ethereum chain, for example, so bitcoin isn't catching the same developer-and-demand updraft that the rival cryptocurrency is currently enjoying. And I still don't know what people are using bitcoin for other than hoping to get rich. And some are -- look at those gains! But not that many. The famous cryptocurrency doesn't appear to be growing much in terms of unique usage . Anyway, here's a post about bitcoin being worth a little more than $18,000. That's a lot!

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 0.82% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 2.85% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $40,168.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $40,915.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $38,700.0. Steering clear of the first major resistance level at $37,386, Bitcoin rallied to a mid-afternoon intraday high $41,399.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $42,800, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$40,000 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin moved back through to $40,000 levels to reduce the deficit on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $41,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash SV surged by 61.14% to lead the pack, with Chainlink rallying by 15.41%. Cardano’s ADA (+8.99%), Ethereum (+5.27%), and Polkadot (+5.97%) also made solid gains. Binance Coin (+3.71%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.40%), Litecoin (+3.14%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.36%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market cap slid to a Monday low $735.72bn before rising to a Friday high $1,115.32bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,086.23bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 67.66% before rising to a Friday high 71.37%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 69.47%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.85% to $40,510.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $40,170.0 to a high $40,540.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-6.14%) and Polkadot (-0.34%) saw red early on to buck the trend. Story continues It was a bullish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Chainlink was up by 1.89% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $40,089 to bring the first major resistance level at $41,478 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $41,399.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and resistance at $41,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $43,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $42,788. Failure to avoid a fall through the $40,089 pivot would bring the first major support level at $38,779 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$38,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $37,390.

By Mark Hackett Thoughts Markets are poised to begin 2021 similar to how 2020 ended, with a broad market rally. Last week saw a strong close to the year, with the S&P 500® Index touching its 33rd record close for 2020. The primary drivers of market strength continue to be optimism surrounding the vaccines and the benefits from the latest round of fiscal stimulus. The S&P 500 gained 68% from the March low after losing more than one-third of its value in less than a month, finishing the year with a return of 18.4%, the sixth-best performance in the past 20 years. Notable winners including the NASDAQ (+44.9%), the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+39.5%) and MSCI Emerging Market Index (+18.7%). Sentiment indicators reinforce the enthusiasm of investors, with the American Association of Individual Investors showing bearishness at multi-year lows. A Bank of America survey of fund managers showed the lowest level of cash in nearly eight years. The strong sentiment reading also reflects elevated valuations, with the S&P 500 at 22x forward earnings and the NASDAQ at 28x earnings. IPO activity also reflected the optimism, with $368 billion more than 50% above the previous high. Betting odds and polls have steadily shifted towards Democrats winning the Georgia runoff election and control of the Senate. Coinciding with that shift has been a steadily improving equity market, suggesting that investors are betting on incremental stimulus, but not enough of a mandate to drive transformational tax or regulatory reform. This is consistent with the “glass half-full” mindset of investors over the past two months. News The vaccine rollout has lagged initial estimates, with just 4.2 million doses administered as of Saturday, below the 20 million year-end goal. Doctor Fauci, while acknowledging disappointment, noted that the pace has accelerated and could be fully on track within a week. Georgia is set to hold a runoff election on Tuesday that will determine control of the Senate. The Democrats hold modest leads in polls and early voting per RealClearPolitics, while betting market Predictit gives Republicans a slight lead in odds of retaining power. Even if the Democrats gain control, the margin will be remarkably thin, and analysts are skeptical over whether a meaningful shift in tax or regulatory policy is possible. Democrat control could, however, spark another round of coronavirus stimulus and potentially an infrastructure package.

He’s also a crypto millionaire. Solod is the son of two national parliament members, Yuri Solod and Natalia Korolevska. He entered politics this autumn, fresh out of school. In his obligatory property declaration, he said heowned 185,000 monero, or $24.5 million worth of the cryptocurrency. This was, in fact, the only piece of property the young lawmaker owned himself. Everything else in hisdeclaration, including real estate, cars and trademarks, belongs to his parents. Related:Ukrainian Politician Discloses Owning $24M in Privacy Coin Monero Solod told CoinDesk during a recent interview that he started watching crypto when he was at school, around 2014. Bitcoin did not attract him. Monero (XMR), on the other hand, seemed like a more viable cryptocurrency due to its anonymity and constant demand by the dark market, Solod said. He accumulated monero through 2015 on exchanges, he said, using his savings and some money his parents gave him for a business project that never happened. Solod “never really liked school,” he said, so he spent a lot of time studying financial markets and learning about crypto. Ukraine, which was rated by Chainalysis as the country with thehighest crypto adoption levelin the world, is now in the process of passing itsfirst legislation regulating crypto. Solod admits that, at first, he was not crazy about this. “For me, as an entrepreneur and a young guy, this is bad: I used to see crypto as an island in the ocean, untouched by a sinful hand. An absolutely free zone where everyone can do anything. But as a politician, I understand that this law will bring money into the [country’s] budget,” Solod said. Related:Ukraine's Draft Crypto Bill Passes First Parliamentary Hearing Monero’s privacy feature no longer applies to Solod. He must report all his property as a public official, thanks to a law intended to prevent corruption and illegal enrichment in the country’s echelons of power. Going forward, the young politician might liquidate the crypto and reinvest the money into a new business project, he said. Solod is thinking about getting into crypto mining (no decision on what coin so far) and buying some tokens from the freshly launchedEfforceproject supported by Apple co-founder Steve Wozlniak. But his favorite crypto-related plan is launching his own token, Solod said. “Elections and the political career distracted me from these plans for a while,” he said. They distract him from his studies as well. Solod said he’s currently pursuing an economy major at the Royal Holloway University in London. He’s studying remotely due to the coronavirus quarantine, he said, although it’s sometimes hard to find time for both work and school. Asked why he decided to go into politics, Solod referred to his family, saying that “he was born in it.” “I was interested to figure out why the country isn’t developing,” Solod said. “I really want to change the situation with the corruption. The old methods to prevent it aren’t working anymore.” • Meet the 19-Year-Old Ukrainian Lawmaker With Millions in Monero • Meet the 19-Year-Old Ukrainian Lawmaker With Millions in Monero... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/LayingWaste', 'PSA: ROGER VER DID NOT CREATE BITCOIN CASH!

Shenzhen, China-based mining firm Linzhi Inc. has begun rolling out a new Ethereum ASIC miner dubbed the Phoenix, reportedly three times more powerful than top options available today. As reported by CoinDesk , the journey to produce a more powerful and efficient Ethash ASIC miner was begun some two years ago by Chen Min, former CTO of mining giant Canaan. Mining pool F2 Pool released a demo of the new machine on YouTube Saturday. The Phoenix outpaces the next best A10+ Pro at 2,600 megahashes per second MH/s to around 500 MH/s. Linzhi’s new machine is also more energy efficient clocking in at 3,000 watts per hour to the A10+ Pro’s 1,300 W, F2 Pool says. Related: US Bitcoin Mining Firm Core Scientific to Triple Capacity With Massive 59,000-Machine Order “If you look back on CoinDesk reporting about Linzhi dating back to the first article in September, 2018, it’s clear we had delays,” Linzhi Director of Operations Wolfgang Spraul told CoinDesk in an email. “Some due to underestimating the technology, then some due” to the coronavirus pandemic. Read more: Ethereum Fees Plummeted 65% in October Following DeFi Volumes Back to Earth Spraul said the firm is rolling out pre-orders and limited quantities to “developers, community, pool operators, etc.” Innosilicon carries the A10+ Pro for about $4,440 per unit while Linzhi has yet to release a public price figure. Scrapping Ethereum mining The new product comes as the Ethereum network has begun a technical transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake (PoS). That process began Dec. 1 with the launch of the Beacon Chain . That chain acts as a central conductor for the new blockchain network which uses coin deposits as a means of securing the network, called “staking,” over mining. Story continues Related: What Is Proof-of-Work? Read more: What Is Proof-of-Work? Still, miners have at least a two-year runway with PoW on Ethereum. The current network, Eth 1.x, won’t be moved over to the new PoS blockchain until phase 1.5 of Eth 2.0. The current Linzhi Phoenix demoed by F2 Pool will need at least one upgrade to stay useful before that transition, however. The Ethereum network’s directed acyclic graph (DAG) – a component of Ethereum’s PoW algorithm called Ethash – stands at just under 4 gb , while each Linzhi Phoenix only has a 4.4 GB memory. The incumbent A10, on the other hand, can house between 6 and 8 gigabytes, F2 Pool says. The Phoenix will need a bump in memory size or aftermarket components if it is not to become obsolete before phase 1.5. Spraul told CoinDesk in an email that the Phoenix miners currently rolling out are limited to quantities of pre-orders. The firm is “working on a successor with an increase in DAG memory – no specs yet,” he said. Of course, other Ethash-based cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum Classic will still be using proof-of-work, meaning a market will still exist for the Phoenix even after Eth 2.0 phase 1.5.

USDT went from $6B to $16B in 5 months, even as the Bitcoin price was ranging around $10k +/- 20%. During this timeframe, Tether was experiencing what appears to be a losing court battle, while we saw insane pumps of absolute shitcoins for no apparent reason. Followed by a BTC rampage which we haven\'t seen since 2013, which is way out of trend, and doesn\'t make much sense (despite maximalist narratives).\n\nCheck TradingView. Pull up BTCUSD, and overlay USDT (by cling the "compare" button at the top middle of screen). For best viewing, you should pin the tether line to "new left scale" and then select "Regular" for the y-axis, and then you\'ll have to change the BTCUSD price on the right scale back to "Logarithmic."\n\nBetween May-Oct, Bitcoin\'s price was reasonably stable between 9k-12k, with a nice uptrend and recovery from the March dump. Of course Monero\'s performance over that time period was far better, with much better looking charts. Notice that between between May and Oct, Tether goes from 6 billion to 16 billion with repeated prints. \n\nWas that really institutional investors and retail, buying Tether intending to hold for 5 months before buying? Almost no one with any knowledge or money to speak of would do that. So where did that Tether go, and what was happening? \n\nThe last time we saw a parabolic 4x in the BTC price, was PlusToken ponzi, gobbling up 100k coins before being shut down, with the market top being literally the day they were arrested. But even that parabolic move pales in comparison to what just happened here for the past few months. Bitcoin has gone on a rampage, the likes of which we haven\'t seen since 2013. \n\nThis all occurred under various suspicious circumstances. Starting with the ongoing litigation against Tether. It wasn\'t looking good for them in court, and now, they have been ordered to provide documents which, if they provide what the judge has demanded, will almost certainly reveal their fraud. They might even be 100% backed, but their activities have largely been documented as fraudulent. So one has to wonder, did they see the writing on the wall and decide to go for one last hoorah before they have to stop?\n\nWe also have the ratio charts to look at, particularly for XMRBTC and ETHBTC. These charts were beautiful. Classic bottoming, RSI divergence over long timeframes, accumulation, reversal, followed by higher highs. And then suddenly, the dumbest most useless shitcoins start doing insane pumps, 2x, 3x, 4x in the span of days. We see these repeated scenarious where literally everything pumps except Monero. And then after those pumps are done, Monero pumps, usually solo.\n\nThen the Monero network, somehow comes under attack just months after the IRS awards a contract to try and break Monero.

The SEC alleges that the Ripple Foundation conducted unregistered securities sales, which could result in XRP being deemed as a security by the US regulator.

If XRP manages to pick itself up and follow the wider cryptocurrency market rally, levels of resistance remain at $0.315 and $0.3475, although it is unlikely that price action will drive to these points unless there is a positive resolution to the SEC situation. What seems more likely at the moment is continuation to the downside, especially if Bitcoin continues to rally to a new all-time high. Downside targets have now emerged at $0.175 and $0.130, although a dive to as low as $0.10 may be on the cards depending on the upcoming shift in sentiment.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 3.63% on Tuesday. Following on from a 7.31% slide on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,123.0. It was the 4 th consecutive day in the red. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin slipped to an early morning low $33,762.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $31,270, Bitcoin struck a mid-morning intraday high $36,656.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $38,912, Bitcoin slid to an early afternoon intraday low $32,427. While steering clear of the first major support level, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Late in the day, Bitcoin briefly revisited $35,500 levels before sliding back into the deep red. Despite of the late reversal, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 10.22% to lead the day. Binance Coin (+0.12%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.89%), Crypto.com Coin (+5.88%), Polkadot (+4.45%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.66%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however Chainlink (-4.13%), Ethereum (-3.56%), and Litecoin (-4.28%) joined Bitcoin in the red. Early in the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $1,040.51 before falling to a Monday low $804.33bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $888.48bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 68.39% to a Monday high 69.97%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 69.00%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 3.12% to $33,058.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $34,105.0 to a low $32,931.0. While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested early on, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Polkadot bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.69%, with Bitcoin Cash SV and Crypto.com Coin flat. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 3.65% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $34,402 to bring the first major resistance level at $36,631 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $35,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $36,656.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $38,631. Failure to move through the $34,402 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $32,148 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level at $30,173 should limit the downside.

Smith said the cyber attack had broken the "norms and rules" of what was espionage. The cyber attack, attributed by US officials to Russia-backed hackers, broke into US government departments, giving hackers the ability to spy on emails for months. He added that certain sectors, such as healthcare, should be off limits to nation-state cyber actors. 04:14 PM CES: Self-driving takes a back seat Driverless cars and flying robotaxis aren\'t dead, but the industry response appears increasingly lukewarm, writes The Telegraph\'s motoring correspondent Andrew English .

We knew that customers would be shopping longer this holiday season. More than 60% of jewelry customers said that they would be in the market early, starting as early as August or September. So, we've really changed the way we think about holiday. It's not just a fourth-quarter phenomenon. We've been thinking about the third and the fourth quarter, together, as the holiday season, CEO Gina Drosos told Yahoo Finance Live. On Thursday, Signet, the parent company of well-known brands such as Kay Jewelers, Zales, and Jared: The Galleria of Jewelry, reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings results. Signet's total sales were $1.3 billion for the quarter, up 9.5% from a year ago. The closely-followed same-store sales rose 15.1% from the prior year, while e-commerce sales surged 71.4%. Brick-and-mortar same-store sales jumped 6.8% from a year ago. The jewelry giant's proprietary research from the prior quarter had anticipated a strong engagement season with couples quarantining together deciding to get engaged. The customer research found that of couples within 18 months of getting engaged, more than half chose to quarantine together. Of those, 93% said their relationships were equally as strong or getting stronger. In the quarter, Signet saw double-digit growth across its bridal category, with most of that coming from engagement rings. "We had anticipated more engagements and got out in front of that with great new bridal lines, beautiful product, more customization options, and targeted marketing to couples who were in this stage of their relationship," Drosos said.

(Photo by Johnny Louis/Getty Images) Elsewhere, fashion jewelry has also seen strong sales, "with people expressing their style with earrings and pendants now, not with shoes, when we're all on a Zoom call," Drosos added. Story continues Omnichannel experience The pandemic has accelerated many trends in the retail landscape, including the jewelry business. Technology continues to play a more prominent role as more customers get comfortable with purchasing big-ticket items like jewelry online. To be sure, the spike in online sales Signet saw was "not a reaction to crisis," Drosos said, noting the company has focused on building "a significantly better digital business" over the last few years. The CEO, who took the helm in August 2017, has long embraced the role of digital in the jewelry business. Drosos has focused on a three-pillar plan known as "The Path To Brilliance ," and one key component is to create an omnichannel experience that blends the physical and online shopping experience. Drosos' team has focused on creating tools to make customers "feel more comfortable" making an expensive purchase online while maintaining the jewelry consultant's relationship. This year, the jewelry giant brought technology to its field teams to create a virtual selling experience. The company now has 700 dedicated virtual sellers, while its 20,000 consultants and store managers can also sell virtually or meet physically with clients. Signet also has visualization tools for online shopping. For example, a customer can upload a photo of their hand and virtually try on rings. [When] customers buy jewelry online the two things they're looking for is advice and a trusted relationship and being able to visualize the product, Drosos added. Drosos added that the company has also optimized its store footprint. On the earnings call, the executive highlighted the company's continued shift to off-mall locations. Two-thirds of Signet's store fleet is housed in traditional malls. Of the 380 planned closures in the fiscal year, 316 were closed by the end of the quarter, with most closings happening in standard mall locations. To be sure, stores will remain a long-term competitive advantage, she said. Drosos noted that most of the company's e-commerce sales come within 30 miles of a store. Jewelry has been very slow to become more digital, but I think it's really an omnichannel story, and that's where Signet can win. Julia La Roche is a correspondent for Yahoo Finance.

In aseries of tweets, Dorsey said he believed Twitter made the correct decision, but that “a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation.”\nIn his comments, Dorsey echoed Twitter’sprevious statementson the reason for the ban, writing that “offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real, and what drives our policy and enforcement above all.”\nAt the same time, Dorsey said that the ban also reflects “a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation.” (Twitter has spent much of thelast two yearstrying to figure out how to make its platform “healthier.”) He added that he feels Twitter’s decision has set a “dangerous” precedent that “an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation.”\nDorsey also pushed back on criticism that the company is engaging in censorship, writing that “a company making a business decision to moderate itself is different from a government removing access.” He also made clear that Twitter did not coordinate with other companies who have also banned or suspended Trump in recent days.\nYou can read his full comments below:\n“I do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a clear warning we’d take this action, we made a decision with the best information we had based on threats to physical safety both on and off Twitter. Was this correct? I believe this was the right decision for Twitter. We faced an extraordinary and untenable circumstance, forcing us to focus all of our actions on public safety. Offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real, and what drives our policy and enforcement above all.\nThat said, having to ban an account has real and significant ramifications. While there are clear and obvious exceptions, I feel a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation. And a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us. Having to take these actions fragment the public conversation. They divide us. They limit the potential for clarification, redemption, and learning. And sets a precedent I feel is dangerous: the power an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation. The check and accountability on this power has always been the fact that a service like Twitter is one small part of the larger public conversation happening across the internet.\nIf folks do not agree with our rules and enforcement, they can simply go to another internet service. This concept was challenged last week when a number of foundational internet tool providers also decided not to host what they found dangerous. I do not believe this was coordinated. More likely: companies came to their own conclusions or were emboldened by the actions of others. This moment in time might call for this dynamic, but over the long term it will be destructive to the noble purpose and ideals of the open internet. A company making a business decision to moderate itself is different from a government removing access, yet can feel much the same. Yes, we all need to look critically at inconsistencies of our policy and enforcement. Yes, we need to look at how our service might incentivize distraction and harm. Yes, we need more transparency in our moderation operations. All this can’t erode a free and open global internet.\nThe reason I have so much passion for #Bitcoin is largely because of the model it demonstrates: a foundational internet technology that is not controlled or influenced by any single individual or entity.

The price of the world's most popular cryptocurrency traded as high as $33,099 on Saturday, with almost all other markets closed over the first weekend in 2021. It was last up about 12% at $32,883. Bitcoin advanced more than 300% in 2020, and with the latest leg higher has added more than 50% since crossing $20,000 just two weeks ago. The blockchain currency has only been around for a decade or so, and in 2020 it has seen demand grow from larger U.S. investors, attracted by its perceived inflation-hedging qualities and potential for quick gains, as well as expectations it would become a mainstream payments method. Investors said limited supply of bitcoin - produced by so-called "mining" computers that validate blocks of transactions by competing to solve mathematical puzzles - has helped power upward moves over recent days. Some also saw it as a safe-haven play during the COVID-19 pandemic, akin to gold. "It's very likely that the asset will eventually pass $100,000 per coin," Sergey Nazarov, cofounder of Chainlink, a global blockchain project, wrote in an email on Saturday. "People have been steadily losing faith in their government currencies for years, and the monetary policies resulting from the economic impact of the coronavirus have only accelerated this decline." It trades on numerous exchanges, the largest of which is Coinbase, which is itself preparing to go public to become the first major U.S. cryptocurrency exchange to list on Wall Street. Multiple competitor cryptocurrencies use similar blockchain, or electronic ledger, technology. Ethereum, the second biggest, gained 465% in 2020 and was up almost 7% on Saturday. (The story corrects paragraph 8 to clarify reference to Coinbase listing.)

Today's Key News: ['By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock and oil prices fell on Friday, pressured by intensifying lockdowns and weak U.S. retail sales data, while the dollar index posted its largest weekly gain in more than two months. U.S. bond yields and stocks have risen recently, partly on expectations about the rollout of coronavirus vaccines and on a massive stimulus plan by the incoming Democratic administration. President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday unveiled a $1.9 trillion economic aid plan. But vaccination campaigns have progressed more slowly than expected and the prospect of stricter lockdowns in France and Germany, as well as a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in China, weighed on market sentiment. "I feel that after all the optimism regarding vaccines, we are now living the reality of a very slow rollout, which is weighing heavily on business activity," said Juan Perez, senior currency trader at Tempus Inc in Washington. "Until we have more guarantees on the medical front, markets will not continue to flourish despite whatever financial aid may be on the way," Perez said. The dollar gained ground against the euro and sterling, while the yen was little changed. Stocks fell but remained close to recent record highs, with investors also digesting the prospect of rising taxes to pay for Biden\'s plan.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 1.01% and MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.86%. Emerging market stocks lost 0.93%. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.67% lower, while Nikkei futures lost 2.01%. Story continues Yields were also pressured lower by a weaker-than-expected reading in U.S. retail sales. "This morning’s disappointing retail sales figures reinforced the idea that more stimulus will be needed," said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO Capital Markets in New York. U.S. 10-year notes last rose 13/32 in price to yield 1.0852%, from 1.129% late on Thursday. Despite the weekly dip in the benchmark yield, it was set to close a second week above 1%, a streak not seen since before the lockdowns took hold early last year. Oil prices fell sharply on concerns that demand would be lower as COVID-19 continues to rage globally.

Created as an alternative to the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, stablecoins are marketed as viable payments solutions for enterprise blockchain use cases, since merchants should – in theory – have no qualms about accepting them. Speaking of merchants, there are rumors that PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) could implement its very own stablecoin having recently announced support for a range of cryptocurrencies. The emergence of decentralized finance (defi) – a subset of the crypto market comprising tools for trustlessly interacting with open finance protocols like savings and lending – has shone a spotlight on stablecoins such as DAI and USDT, providing them with myriad use cases. One of the latest stablecoin examples isBXTB, a defi-based protocol that collateralizes other stablecoins to create its own CHIP token, hosted on a low-energy, high-throughput consensus mechanism called Proof of Capacity (PoC). CHIP, in other words, inherits the stability of tried and tested stablecoins deposited as collateral, while benefiting from faster speeds and lower transaction fees. An anonymous, community-driven defi protocol, BXTB wants to transform the stablecoin market via a yield-generating currency suitable for enterprise use cases. Initially, its ambition is to unify the payment and settlement systems of the multi-billion dollar gambling industry, partnering with operators, platform providers and publishers to ensure a seamless, trustworthy betting experience. The BXTB mainnet launched earlier this year, and the platform has already teamed up with several gaming operators including JustBet and GameWorks Technologies (GWX). One vocal supporter is Nigel Hughes, one-time Principal Consultant forNEM(New Economy Movement) and current Chief Technical Advisor for crypto mining firm R3V.lab. Hughes first came across the defi platform in 2018 and was immediately intrigued. Nigel Hughes “Through the course of my work on NEM I met the people behind BXTB, which was then just an idea that was being considered,” Hughes remembers. “I was impressed by the fact that the core team took the Satoshi Nakamoto approach by remaining out of the spotlight, and I felt that their vision very much aligned towards the long term – something you can’t say about too many projects in the defi and stablecoin space.” In the years following that fateful meeting, Hughes has played a key role in pushing BXTB and driving adoption. While many community members prefer to remain anonymous, the blockchain veteran is happy to go to bat for the platform, which he believes can “move blockchain technology towards greater inclusivity,” while at the same time addressing the lack of value being created by existing use cases. “Enterprise companies are looking for stablecoin solutions that can process transactions cheaply, quickly and with high velocity and volume,” Hughes observes. “By creating a collateralization mechanism that turns existing secure and successful stablecoins into high-throughput CHIPs, it’s possible to provide an enterprise-ready stablecoin solution and network that can be immediately implemented for real-world use cases.” Though the CHIP stablecoin is the central plank of the BXTB ecosystem, the platform does in fact feature multiple tokens.BXTBare governance tokens that can be mined or purchased then staked, alongside supported stablecoins likeUSDT, to mint CHIP and yieldyBXTB. Holders of the latter, meanwhile, earn yield by receiving a portion of the network and transaction fees generated on the sidechain. “Because BXTB uses a Proof of Capacity sidechain capable of high throughput and low fees, BXTB can be mined on very small and inexpensive devices,” Hughes explains. Proof of Capacitymining works by precomputing answers to cryptographic challenges and storing them on memory devices such as hard disks before the physical mining process begins. The answers are then checked, without the need for an intensive computational process. “Anyone with a hard drive and internet connection can contribute towards validation and consensus – this is entirely different to Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains,” says Hughes. “As a result, BXTB is accessible to the larger community, strengthening decentralization and increasing the integrity of the network.” As for the advantages of using CHIP rather than the stablecoins BXTB collateralizes, Hughes points to prohibitive transaction fees and lengthy confirmation times. “I have met plenty of businesses that have expressed the need for such a solution in their plans to utilize blockchain. The gaming industry happens to be the one vertical market with an immediate need for BXTB, and is a natural fit in view of increasing need for transparent settlement. “Companies can simply adopt CHIPs as an integrated solution on top of their existing technology stack – BXTB’s infrastructure can handle the rest. By allowing the output of games to be provably verified on the blockchain, players can interact with operators in a trustless manner, something that has been needed for a very long time.” Although BXTB is primarily envisaged as an enterprise-ready stablecoin solution for the gambling industry, there’s no denying its defi characteristics. Indeed, many stakeholders will be attracted to the platform purely to earn yield – online gaming won’t enter their minds. This is something Hughes readily acknowledges, but he sees BXTB as being a serious upgrade on existing defi protocols. “Today’s yield systems are not generating value through sustainable means. Many defi projects that are offering high yields are doing so at the risk of presenting a musical chairs scenario, where early adopters receive the highest yields and late adopters put their underlying collateral and funds at risk. “BXTB, on the other hand, derives yield by offering utility and solutions for existing real-world use cases, such as the gaming industry. In the simplest iteration, every transaction happening with CHIPs will be charged a small processing-based fee, which is paid out as incentive to yBXTB holders. This incentive mechanism, or “yield,” promotes the liquidity of CHIPs and makes it even more attractive for businesses.” “The intention in the long run is to move from being a foundation-operated blockchain to a fully on-chain governed protocol, similar to that of a DAO in other blockchains,” explains Hughes. “BXTB tokens will be utilized in some form as governance tokens, as they are readily available through Proof of Capacity mining. Whether BXTB transforms the stablecoin, online gambling or defi landscape remains to be seen. What is clear is that defi is breaking out of its vertical and beginning to shape other industries, from gaming to payments.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 1.91% on Saturday. Following on from a 6.15% slide on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $36,041.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $35,551.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin rose to a late morning intraday high $37,997.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $39,461, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $35,418.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $34,260, Bitcoin moved back through to $36,000 levels to reduce the deficit on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest reversal. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Polkadot surged by 39.53% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+16.05%) and Crypto.com Coin (+15.91%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+5.28%) and Ethereum (+4.97%) trailed the front runners. It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack. Chainlink slid by -3.24% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.21%), Litecoin (-0.17%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.36%) saw modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $804.97bn before rising to a Thursday high $1,083.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,004.03bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Thursday high 70.28% before falling to a Saturday low 66.73%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 67.26%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.47% to $36,211.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $35,565.0 before striking a high $36,348.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.05%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.27%), Ethereum (-0.19%), and Polkadot (-0.52%) struggled early on. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 2.87% to lead the way, with Binance Coin up by 2.22%. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $36,485 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,553 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $37,997.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $39,064. Failure to move through the $36,485 pivot would bring the first major support level at $34,974 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of the second major support level at $33,906 and the 23.6% FIB of $33,008.

And this week made it clear just how far some of those companies have come.An eye-popping IPO from Affirm led the way, but more than a half-dozen other fintech startups also made major news. And that's one of 10 things you need to know from the past week:Max Levchin, who co-founded PayPal and now leads Affirm, is no stranger to the power of fintech. (Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)1. Money talks Affirm tried its best to avoid a huge IPO pop that would leave money on the table. First, the provider of point-of-sale loans delayed its listing in December, in the wake of intense investor demand when Airbnb and DoorDash went public. (Let's take a moment to appreciate the strangeness of a company being worried its stock might be too popular.) Then, earlier this month, Affirm increased its IPO's initial price range of $33 to $38 per share to a new range of $41 to $44. Ultimately, it priced its shares even higher, landing on a $49 figure for a debut this Wednesday.And yet Affirm still opened trading at more than $90 per share and closed its first day at $96.36, up nearly 100% from that already-elevated IPO price. That resulted in a market cap of some $23 billion for Affirm, which was valued privately at $2.9 billion in 2019.The banner debut is a sign that the IPO market is still going crazy—more on that later in this newsletter. As my colleague James Thorne writes, it could be the first ofmany significant fintech IPOs to comein 2021, along with names like SoFi, Coinbase and Robinhood. Globally, there were $30.9 billion worth of VC exits in the fintech sector during 2020, according to PitchBook data, the highest total of at least the past decade.Taken in the context of the past seven days, Affirm's warm reception also underlines just how bullish investors are feeling about the future of fintech.Checkout.com, a London-based developer of payments technology, became the most valuable venture-backed company in Europe this week with a $450 million Series C that cameat a $15 billion valuation. In Singapore, ridehailing and food delivery giant Grab raised more than $300 million this week for its fintech unit.Financial data specialist MX, payments provider Rapyd and digital lending startup Blend all raised nine-figure fundings this week, resulting in respective valuations of $1.9 billion, $2.5 billion and $3.3 billion.

The FCA recently put the exchange on the list for temporary registration and wanted to know what EXMO, an exchange with $117 million in daily volume, according toCoinGecko, was going to do to prevent such incidents in the future, the exchange’s COO Sergey Zhdanov told CoinDesk, providing rare details about how exchanges address regulatory requirements in the U.K. The country has been a jurisdiction of choice for many crypto startups. “The U.K. has always been a strong hub for financial companies, whether they are crypto or not. The regulatory framework, unlike other countries, for crypto has gradually started to become clearer and I feel this clarity is what companies are really searching for,” Iqbal V. Gandham, former managing director of eToro in London, told CoinDesk. Related:UK Exchange CoinCorner Adds Bitcoin Lightning Network Support Last year, the country got serious about taking control of the crypto industry. This past summer, the FCA told cryptocurrency service providersthey needed to registerto keep operating in the U.K.. Since then, multiple applications have flowed in, prompting the agency to introduce atemporary registration regimefor the companies it wouldn’t be able to vet before the Dec. 16, 2020, deadline. So far, only four companies have obtained the full registration, including the Winklevoss brothers’ Gemini exchange. Thelist of 95 companiesthat received temporary authorization includes exchanges Bitstamp, Coinfloor and eToro, and infrastructure players Fidelity Digital Assets, Galaxy Digital, among others. EXMO, a smaller crypto exchange with a largely Russian and Ukrainian team, was on the list, too. Instead of waiting around for cats to herd themselves, the FCA reached out to the companies, which is why last January the agency contacted EXMO to remind the exchange that new regulations were coming, Zhdanov said. Related:Kraken Users Are Staking More Than $1B in Crypto “They said: ‘We’re monitoring all the crypto exchanges and wanted to make sure you know that you should be doing user verification. I was surprised that they contacted exchanges themselves,” he added. EXMO was launched in 2014 by a team of Russian crypto enthusiasts headed by then-real estate developer Ivan Petukhovsky. “If I knew back then how challenging it [the business] would be, I probably wouldn’t even have started it,” he told CoinDesk over a call. Even though the team initially was located in Thailand, where Petuknovsky’s real estate business was located, EXMO chose to register its headquarters in the U.K. “Back then, nobody understood if a legal entity [for a crypto business] was needed and if it was important at all,” Zhdanov said. “But after mid-2017, after the [initial coin offerings], all the banks turned away from crypto and we realized that a legal entity was very important.” Getting a bank account is a problem for the crypto industry; even now, only a handful of banks are serving crypto businesses, Zhdanov said. It didn’t matter that much at the dawn of the crypto industry, in 2016 and earlier, he added. Back then, partnering with payment processors was enough to provide small crypto purchases, while for large amounts of crypto people would often just pay the over-the-counter brokers with cash. But as crypto got more attention, the need for a bank account became more urgent. Things got slightly better over time, but not a whole lot. “In 2018, we got a lot of rejections from banks,” Zhdanov said. “Back then, 90% of banks would refuse to work with crypto. Now, it’s probably 80%.” The other 20% or so apply strict compliance rules, he added. In Europe, as the industry is getting more regulated it’s getting a bit easier. But even having a legal entity does not guarantee a bank would serve you, Zhdanov said. At first, EXMO got an Estonian license – one of the first registration formats for crypto businesses in the world. But that did not open the doors of banks for EXMO, Zhdanov said. Only in early 2020 did the exchange get an account with Lichtenstein’s Friсk Bank. Since last year, stricter anti-money laundering (AML) rules, under the so-calledAML5 directive, came into force across Europe. EXMO introduced obligatory authentication for users. Users did not like it, Zhdanov said: About 10% of EXMO’s clients left immediately. “Someone just didn’t want to get verified, someone tried, got an error and didn’t want to try again,” Zhdanov said. However, all the big traders stayed on the platform because they had already been verified, he noted. Verification gives more control, so if an account gets compromised a verified user can ask the exchange to stop a withdrawal transaction by proving an intruder is trying to get money out. Now, with the registration and more regulatory requirements, the compliance team of EXMO was nearly doubled, to 26 people. Overall income fell 10%, Zhdanov said, both because of the users’ outflow and the new costs of more compliance officers, new software for transaction-tracing and keeping up with sanction lists. EXMO is relying on the outsourced contractors located in Russia and Ukraine for tech support. FCA appeared to be interested in why the workforce is located in these “high-risk” countries, Zhdanov said. The explanation that it’s more “cost efficient” worked, he added. To users in such countries, the exchange is applying an “enhanced due diligence,” Zhdanov said. EXMO is especially popular among Russian-speaking traders, and the majority of users come from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. However, the FCA only wanted to know how many U.K. users EXMO serves. Britain is the fourth-largest jurisdiction for EXMO in terms of users, Zhdanov said, with 500 monthly active users. “I think [FCA] needed to make sure you are working with the U.K. market at all, so they don’t have to regulate companies that aren’t even doing business here,” Petukhovsky said. Another question was how many people are using EXMO, but there is a catch: How do you define a “user”? Someone who registered on a platform? Someone who has a deposit in an account? Someone who did at least one trade? These can be different numbers, the EXMO team said. They ended up counting how many users made at least one trade over the past year, Zhdanov said. That turned out to be 400,000 users. The FCA asked how many of those were verified, and why not all. The team explained that some people had been trading but didn’t try to withdraw money from their accounts, so for the time being there was no risk associated with such users and no need to verify them. The FCA seemed to accept the logic because it hasn’t asked about this anymore, Zhdanov said. The agency also requested a sample of cases for users blocked for AML reasons, with the detailed reports. Overall, despite the burden of the new regulation, FCA’s approach seems reasonable so far, Zhdanov said: “Their job is to protect users. That’s what is shaping their interaction with us.” • What Does It Cost to Become an FCA-Approved Exchange? EXMO Execs Explain • What Does It Cost to Become an FCA-Approved Exchange?

Bitcoin’svalue has rapidly increased over the past two months. According toCoinMarketCap, you could buy one bitcoin for $11,500 on October 16th. As I’m writing this post, you can buy one bitcoin for $20,775.72 — it represents a 7.27% increase compared to yesterday’s price. It is now priced well over $20,000 on all major exchanges. You might remember the bitcoin frenzy from 2017. At the time, Bitcoin nearly reached $20,000 and crashed shortly after. As always, the fact that bitcoin has been going up doesn’t mean that it’ll go up in the future. This time, the rally seems a bit different, as there’s not as much hype around bitcoin. As we’re entering a long economic crisis, some institutional investors are looking for alternative assets — and bitcoin is one of them. Some people could choose to hold their crypto assets for a longer time. Still, there are a lot of new bitcoin investors who purchased just a fraction of a bitcoin on consumer fintech apps, such as Square’s Cash App, Robinhood and Revolut. Let’s see how the market evolves in the coming months.

Today's Key News: ["In this article, we presented billionaire John Paulson's top 10 stock picks. Click to skip ahead and see Billionaire John Paulson's Top 5 Stock Picks . The investing guru billionaire John Paulson , who converted his hedge fund into a family office in 2020, has benefited from its bullish bets on gold and healthcare stocks in 2020 after seeing lackluster returns in the past few years. The founder of New York-based hedge fund Paulson & Co is famous for making $20 billion in profits for betting against the financial collapse in 2008. Although Paulson gained roughly $5 billion in 2010 on a bet on gold, its strategy of investing billions of dollars into gold markets negatively impacted its portfolio in the last decade. John Paulson founded Paulson & Co in 1994 and the hedge fund managed almost $36 billion of assets at its peak, but assets under management fell to $9 billion last year. The fund is currently managing almost $10 billion in assets under management and its 13F portfolio's value stood around $3.2 billion at the end of the September quarter. John Paulson seeks to invest for the long-term, with the average time held for the top ten stock stands around 10 quarters. The healthcare sector accounts for 44% of the overall portfolio, thanks to big stakes in Horizon Therapeutics and Bausch Health Companies. Investments in the basic material sector account for 24% of the 13F portfolio while communication services weighting stands just over 9%. Paulson & Co has also diversified its portfolio towards financial services, consumer cyclical, and real estate sectors. John PAULSON & CO John Paulson of Paulson & Co Paulson & Co is well known for investing in merger arbitrage, event-driven, and distressed assets. Prior to Paulson & Co, the investing guru worked as a managing director in mergers and acquisitions at Bear Stearns. He received a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School in 1980. While John Paulson's reputation remains intact, the same can’t be said of the hedge fund industry as a whole, as its reputation has been tarnished in the last decade during which its hedged returns couldn’t keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. On the other hand, Insider Monkey’s research was able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the S&P 500 ETFs by more than 88 percentage points since March 2017 ( see the details here ). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that significantly underperformed the market. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 and they lost 13% through November 16. You can subscribe to our free newsletter on our homepage to receive our stories in your inbox. Story continues Let’s start reviewing billionaire John Paulson's top 10 stock picks to see whether one of the most prominent hedge fund manager’s long-running investments worked in 2020. 10. DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH ) John Paulson's position in DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) underperformed in 2020 as shares of the pay-tv services provider fell close to 10% in the last twelve months. Unfortunately, DISH Network has lost almost half of its value since John Paulson’s hedge fund initiated a position during the first quarter of 2017. The company is currently working on expanding its wireless offerings. Consequently, it acquired wireless carrier Boost Mobile in 2020 and acquired more than 9 million retail wireless subscribers. DISH seeks to innovate in the wireless market, with the strategy of building the nation's first cloud-native, Open RAN-based 5G broadband network. Other hand funds are also bullish on DISH Network as it was in 60 hedge funds’ portfolios at the end of the third quarter of 2020 compared to the all-time high of 58. 9. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISCK ) Paulson's position in Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISCK) also underperformed in the last twelve months despite a rally of 27% in the last month. The firm has initiated a position in Discovery in 2017, but shares of Discovery saw range-bound movement in the past three years. The latest rally in Discovery share price is supported by the company’s strategy of moving into the streaming services business. Discovery launched its streaming service Discovery+ this month, with a library of more than 55K shows. Andaz Private Investments, which posted a return of 14.6% in the first nine months of 2020, presented a bullish case for Discovery in an investor’s letter. Here’s what Andaz Private Investments stated : “Discovery is extremely undervalued and on a c.30% free cash flow yield. The company also believes its stock is extremely undervalued and is allocating half of that free cash into share buybacks. At a recent conference, they informed the market that they have successfully and significantly increased pricing in their recent Upfront (gathering of TV networks and advertisers). This will most likely result in greater profits and cash flow over the medium term. Discovery continues to gain share in the USA and Internationally.” 8. Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS ) Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS), which was formed as a result of a merger between Mylan and Pfizer's Upjohn, is the eighth largest stock holding of Paulson’s portfolio. Paulson's hedge fund was the long-running shareholder of Mylan prior to the merger agreement. After a strong share price rally in December, shares of Viatris plunged in 2021 due to a conservative outlook and a longer than expected delay in dividend announcement. The management expects flat revenue for 2021 and described the year as ‘trough’. The management also announced to initiate dividends during the second half of 2021. Previously, the company has announced to initiate dividends after the full quarter following the closure of the merger. 7. AngloGold Ashanti Limited (NYSE: AU ) Shares of AngloGold Ashanti Limited (NYSE: AU) also underperformed in the last twelve months despite a strong rally during the second and third quarter of 2020. The firm has initiated a position in AngloGold in 2009 and it currently accounts for 5.73% of the overall portfolio. AngloGold Ashanti is among the biggest gold mining companies in the world and it operates 14 mines and three projects in nine countries. The gold price has been under pressure over the past few months after hitting an all-time high in July 2020. Consequently, the AngloGold share price fell almost 30% in the last six months. Despite that, the company believes they are in a position to offer hefty dividends to shareholders. 6. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (NYSE: TAK ) Shares of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (NYSE: TAK) fell 12% in the last twelve months. Paulson & Co has been holding a stake in Takeda since the first quarter of 2019. It is the sixth-largest stock holding of Paulson’s 13F portfolio, accounting for 6.28% of the portfolio. Despite the sluggish stock performance, the company offers a dividend yield of almost 5%. In addition, it expects revenue to hit $50 billion levels in 2030, up 50% from its 2019 revenue. The company believes its Wave 1 pipeline, which includes 12 new molecules targeted for launch by FY2024, will help in generating the majority of revenues in the years ahead. The company is currently working on an assets divestiture program to streamline its businesses according to future growth strategies. Takeda exceeded its $10 billion non-core asset divestiture target during the first half of 2020. The company plans to use proceeds for debt reduction and investments in growth opportunities.

According to Darius Adamczyk, CEO of Honeywell ( HON ), Honeywell is world renowned for managing highly complex logistics, information technology and operational issues, adding that he is very pleased that Honeywell is leading this coalition of private and public organizations. At a news conference on Jan. 12, Gov. Roy Cooper announced that several mass vaccination sites are being set up across North Carolina to improve the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. Bank of America Stadium and the Charlotte Motor Speedway will serve as initial locations to contribute to this public-private initiative, together with a third, yet to be determined venue. The non-profit healthcare system, Atrium Health will be used to operate the mass vaccination events. ( See HON stock analysis on TipRanks ) Credit Suisse analyst John Walsh reiterated his Buy rating on HON three weeks ago and ramped up his price target from $182 to $225. This implies upside potential of around 8% from current levels. Commenting on Honeywells $1.3 billion deal to buy Sparta Systems, Walsh said that he expects recent software acquisitions to act as digital multipliers across the organization, which softens the headline transaction multiple. Consensus among analysts is a Moderate Buy based on 9 Buys and 7 Holds. The average price target of $212.53 implies moderate update potential of 1.9% to current levels. HON gets a 4 out of 10 on Tipranks Smart Score rating indicating that it is likely to perform in line with market averages.

The most notable of these achievements is the recent price rally of HARD token. On the 3rd of November, Binance began a month-long staking program featuring Hard protocol as part of its ongoing Launchpool initiative to promote new projects. Thispartnershipoffered the Binance community reward earning opportunities in the form of HARD tokens when they stake BUSD, BNB, or KAVA. As expected, this campaign exposed Hard protocol to a slew of new users and, in turn, propped the volume of yield farming activities executed on the platform. At the time of writing, the total asset locked in Hard protocol has risen to $40.5 million, which is remarkable considering that it launched barely 2 months ago. While the Hard protocol as an ecosystem blossomed throughout this staking campaign, the Launchpool cycle had a somewhat curious impact on the price of HARD. The value of the protocol’s governance token underperformed while the campaign lasted. The peculiar case of the non-performance of HARD attracted the attention of pundits in November. One suchanalysisconcluded that the current valuation of the digital asset is yet to reflect the innovative and dynamic design of Hard Protocol. The analysis explored the value of competing money markets, including Aave and Compound, and argued that the absence of restrictive systems in the infrastructural makeup of Hard Protocol promises massive growth potential. This argument stems from the ability of the protocol to enable cross-chain yield farming opportunities for holders of digital assets previously marginalized in the ongoingDeFi narrative. More importantly, these networks, including Ripple, Bitcoin, and Binance Chain, boast some of the largest crypto communities in the world. As such, the growth potential is limitless, especially if it manages to capture a significant share of the $300 billion worth Bitcoin network. CEO Of Kava Lab’s Take on The Value of Hard In line with this projection, Brian Kerr, CEO of Kava, stated in a recentinterviewthat the value of Hard Protocol would eventually reflect in the price of HARD because as the governance token, it is integral to the evolution of the ecosystem as a whole. He explained: “Today, HARD is a governance token granting holders a say in the ongoing maintenance and evolution of the application. This is a right to have say over key parameters like collateral ratios, what assets get money markets, and reward distributions. While the HARD token is a governance token today without any cashflows, we imagine the natural evolution of users will be to increase the fundamental value of HARD as the application grows in usage by attributing some fee back to HARD holders either directly or indirectly via a burning mechanism.” Furthermore, he attributed the underperformance of HARD to the influx in the token supply as a result of the now completed staking campaign. Kerr noted that the price of HARD would rally as soon as the program ends since the circulating supply ofHARDwill normalize, thanks to the protocol’s advanced bitcoin having-like system. Brian Kerr went on to make projections of his own that depict the opportunities available to HARD token holders. The CEO posited that token holders could capitalize on the decentralized governance model of Hard Protocol to create extra earning opportunities: “As a governance token HARD has all the value of the application. HARD voters can vote to add new assets, to collect fees, and ultimately direct those fees back to themselves as a dividend if they wanted it. If HARD can get $1B in borrowing and direct a 1% fee to users, it’s worth $10,000,000 USD. I think with the current landscape of DeFi this is a very reachable number. In fact, HARD can do orders of magnitude better since it can support much more than BTC which alone is a $280 Billion asset.” True to Kerr’s prediction for the short-term performance of HARD, the value of the token had since recorded an uptrend that saw the pricesurgeabove the $1 mark for the first time in over one month. Notably, this price rally, as predicted by Kerr, kicked off on the 3rd of December, the same day the Launchpool cycle came to an end. Subsequently, the value of HARD is up by over 64% in the last 7 days. Hence, it is safe to assume that Brian Kerr’s long-term projections for the price performance of HARD are also plausible given that the token is still very much undervalued when you take into account the potential market size of Hard Protocol. Another factor that could propel the price of HARD is the high tendency of investors to hold on to their Bitcoin stash amid growing expectations for an imminent bull run. According to Kerr, Hard Protocol isperfectly positionedas the only viable means for Bitcoin investors to earn extra yields in the form of HARD tokens while they continue to hodl. The cross-chain functionality of the protocol eliminates all restrictions and provides direct and safe access to the highly coveted DeFi yield farming opportunities. If this proves to be the case, then there is no reason why HARD cannot match and surpass the performance of the likes of AAVE and COMP. However, note that there is no way to correctly analyze the potential of HARD without factoring the role of Kava. Just as the Ethereum community played a major role in the successes of Aave and Compound, KAVA holders have a similar connection with Hard Protocol. If more KAVA is staked on the Hard protocol, then expect the value of HARD to rise. Kava Remains a Hidden Gem Speaking of Kava, the low market visibility of the platform and its governance token make it yet another example of undervalued projects with innovative features. The sheer level of ingenuity that powers Kava puts it side by side with some of the most compelling ecosystems in the crypto space. It is a blockchain network very much like Ethereum with even more advanced architecture that provides users with cross-chain functionality. Its permissioned infrastructure powered by the governance token allows banks and corporations to integrate with DeFi seamlessly while evading recurring issues associated with the permissionless Ethereum network. While this is a given, many continue incorrectly to view Kava as a direct competitor of Maker. This unwanted comparison and the fact that Kava, as a result of its non-Ethereum makeup, is not listed on DeFi Pulse indicate that the project is stilla hidden gem. Nonetheless, there are reasons to believe that this will not be the case for very long as plans for more protocols and dapps to launch on Kava is underway. More importantly, the implementation of the borrowing side of Hard protocol at the end of December promises to position Kava as the go-to network for Bitcoin investors looking to boost their earning power. For now, holding KAVA, due to its undervalued status, seems like a wise investment choice.

What Happened:The drugmakers said in a statement that early-stage vaccine trials indicate a low immune response in older adults — most likely caused by an insufficient concentration of the antigen. The results show that while patients aged 18 to 49 years showed an immune response comparable to patients who recovered from COVID-19, the response was lower in older adults. The vaccine platform uses Sanofi’s recombinant technology and GlaxoSmithKline’s pandemic adjuvant. Roger Connor, president of GlaxoSmithKline said, “The results of the study are not as we hoped. Based on previous experience and other collaborations, we are confident that GSK’s pandemic adjuvant system, when coupled with a COVID-19 antigen, can elicit a robust immune response with an acceptable reactogenicity profile.” Thomas Triomphe, executive vice president of Sanofi said, “No single pharma company can make it alone; the world needs more than one vaccine to fight the pandemic.” Why It Matters:The drugmakers said that their vaccine is now likely to be delayed until the fourth quarter of next year, contingent on the successful completion of its development plan. The companies said it would launch a study in February with the help of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority as a part of Operation Warp Speed which would include a comparison with an authorized COVID-19 vaccine.

Oil prices fell to end the week little changed and the dollar index posted its largest weekly drop in five weeks. Technology stocks weighed the most on the S&P 500, with IBM and Intel posting 10% and 9% declines, respectively, after underwhelming earnings. Energy stocks also fell on Wall Street, alongside the price of crude. With stock valuations nearing levels not seen in two decades, some market participants said new COVID-19 variants and hiccups in vaccine rollouts pose near-term risks for equities. "If we\'re forced to keep the economy closed and it takes longer than we want to get through immunizations and vaccinations for the coronavirus, that\'s going to be a little rougher on the market than people apparently anticipated," said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 179.03 points, or 0.57%, to 30,996.98, the S&P 500 lost 11.6 points, or 0.30%, to 3,841.47 and the Nasdaq Composite added 12.15 points, or 0.09%, to 13,543.06. The three main U.S. indexes closed higher for the week, with the Nasdaq up over 4%. The recent gains have come in hand with expectations for a near $2 trillion stimulus package for the American economy. On Friday, President Joe Biden said the U.S. economic crisis was deepening and that the government needs to take major action now to help struggling Americans. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.57% on Friday after a survey showed economic activity in the euro zone shrank markedly in January, with the services sector weighed by lockdown restrictions to contain the coronavirus pandemic. MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.44%. Emerging market stocks lost 0.94%. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.85% lower, while Nikkei futures lost 0.23%. Story continues The dollar index rose 0.14%, with the euro up 0.03% to $1.2166, while sterling was last trading at $1.3683, down 0.36% on the day. The Japanese yen weakened 0.28% versus the greenback at 103.78 per dollar. Overnight data from Japan showed that factory activity slipped into contraction in January and the services sector was more pessimistic as emergency measures to combat a COVID-19 resurgence hit sentiment. In commodities, oil prices were weighed down by a build-up in U.S. crude inventories and by worries that new pandemic restrictions in China will curb fuel demand in the world\'s biggest oil importer. U.S. crude fell 1.94% to $52.10 per barrel and Brent was at $55.21, down 1.59% on the day. "The pandemic seems to continue to expand into a second wave in China, with infections rising by the day and reaching again different regions such as Shanghai," said Rystad Energy oil markets analyst Louise Dickson.

"If we\'re forced to keep the economy closed and it takes longer than we want to get through immunizations and vaccinations for the coronavirus, that\'s going to be a little rougher on the market than people apparently anticipated," said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 179.03 points, or 0.57%, to 30,996.98, the S&P 500 lost 11.6 points, or 0.30%, to 3,841.47 and the Nasdaq Composite added 12.15 points, or 0.09%, to 13,543.06. The three main U.S. indexes closed higher for the week, with the Nasdaq up over 4%. The recent gains have come in hand with expectations for a near $2 trillion stimulus package for the American economy. On Friday, President Joe Biden said the U.S. economic crisis was deepening and that the government needs to take major action now to help struggling Americans. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.57% on Friday after a survey showed economic activity in the euro zone shrank markedly in January, with the services sector weighed by lockdown restrictions to contain the coronavirus pandemic. MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.44%. Emerging market stocks lost 0.94%. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.85% lower, while Nikkei futures lost 0.23%. Story continues The dollar index rose 0.14%, with the euro up 0.03% to $1.2166, while sterling was last trading at $1.3683, down 0.36% on the day. The Japanese yen weakened 0.28% versus the greenback at 103.78 per dollar. Overnight data from Japan showed that factory activity slipped into contraction in January and the services sector was more pessimistic as emergency measures to combat a COVID-19 resurgence hit sentiment. In commodities, oil prices were weighed down by a build-up in U.S. crude inventories and by worries that new pandemic restrictions in China will curb fuel demand in the world\'s biggest oil importer. U.S. crude fell 1.94% to $52.10 per barrel and Brent was at $55.21, down 1.59% on the day. "The pandemic seems to continue to expand into a second wave in China, with infections rising by the day and reaching again different regions such as Shanghai," said Rystad Energy oil markets analyst Louise Dickson. Benchmark 10-year notes last rose 6/32 in price to yield 1.0872%, from 1.107% late on Thursday. Spot gold dropped 0.9% to $1,853.41 an ounce. Silver fell 1.98% to $25.43.

COVID-19 vaccine scams are on the rise, according to European and U.S. government officials who are warning the public of fraudsters out for money and personal data. A Reuters search online, in dark web forums and on messaging app Telegram found seven different offers for alleged COVID-19 vaccines. Related video: Concerns about COVID-19 vaccine scams Scams include emails promising entry to supposedly secret lists for early vaccine access and robocallers impersonating government agencies. Message boards on the so-called dark web have added COVID-19 vaccines to more traditional illicit goods for sale. The U.S. FBI and Interpol, among others, have warned of emerging pandemic-related fraud schemes, saying false cures and vaccines advertised on fake websites could pose cyber threats and a significant risk to peoples' health, or even lives. Website domains containing the word vaccine in combination with COVID-19 or coronavirus more than doubled since October to roughly 2,500 in November, when the first legitimate vaccines were nearing regulatory approval, according to cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, which is tracking COVID-19 fraud online. "So far a lot of these domains just appear to be opportunistic registrations, but some are going to be used for phishing attempts to have people click on (malicious) links," said Lindsay Kaye, director of operational outcomes at Recorded Future. Kaye said her team, which also scours the dark web, so far has not come across any legitimate vaccine diverted from healthcare facilities or national stockpiles. The scams are preying on concerns about the far slower-than-promised rollout of vaccines to protect against the virus that has claimed more than 1.8 million lives worldwide so far. Most people will likely have to wait well into the spring, or even summer, to get their shot. Story continues In the United States, only about 4.5 million people had received their first shot as of Monday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. That is a fraction of the 20 million who were supposed to have been vaccinated by the end of 2020, according to earlier government forecasts. VACCINES, GUNS AND MONEY On dark web forum Agartha, fake COVID-19 vaccines were offered next to cocaine, opioid medication, "super high quality fake money," hand guns and gift cards. Posts showed stock photos of vaccines and offered vials for $500 and $1,000, or the equivalent in Bitcoin. On another dark web site, a seller claiming to be from the "Wuhan Institute of Science" offered COVID-19 vaccines in exchange for a donation, and asked buyers to provide their medical history. On Telegram, several channels claimed to offer COVID-19 vaccines, accompanied by stock images. One user offered supposed Moderna Inc vaccines for $180, and claimed the vaccine from Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE could be had for $150 and AstraZeneca's for $110 per vial. Asked how the vaccines would be shipped, the account creator said they were transported in "regulated temperature packs" and ice packs within a few days, or overnight for an additional charge. Actual COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the Pfizer/BioNTech offering, must be temperature controlled to remain effective, with drugmakers equipping shipments with temperature trackers to ensure the cold chain. Vaccine shipments and distribution are also tightly controlled by officials and will be administered at no cost. The United States has so far authorized two COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use - the ones from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. The European Union to date has authorized the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and is expected to clear the Moderna vaccine this week. The UK has already authorized those two and just added the vaccine developed by Oxford University with AstraZeneca. Asked about vaccine scams, Pfizer said it had taken meticulous steps to reduce the risk of counterfeiting and tracked trends very carefully. "Patients should never try to secure a vaccine online - no legitimate vaccine is sold online - and only get vaccinated at certified vaccination centers or by certified healthcare providers," a Pfizer spokesman said in a statement. Moderna referred a request for comment to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which did not respond. AstraZeneca did not respond to a request for comment. The HHS, FBI and U.S. Department of Justice have urged the public to report any COVID-19 vaccine scams, including people asking for out-of-pocket payments for the vaccine and online vaccine advertisements.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, rallied by 7.02% on Friday. Partially reversing Thursday’s 13.06% tumble, Bitcoin ended the day at $33,058.0. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin slid to an early morning intraday low $28,989.0 before making a move. Coming within range of the first major support level at $28,840, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $33,850.0. While falling short of the first major resistance level at $34,260, Bitcoin broke through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 before wrapping up the day at $33,050 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Crypto.com Coin fell by 0.27% to buck the trend on the day. It was a particularly bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Chainlink surged by 17.19% to lead the way, with Cardano’s ADA (+13.60%), and Ethereum (+11.07%) close behind. Binance Coin (+6.02%) and Litecoin (+6.26%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash SV , (+2.42%), Polkadot (+0.25%) and Ripple’s XRP (+1.80%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $1,080.72bn before sliding to an early Friday low $812.79bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $926.91bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 67.47% before falling to a Friday low 64.63%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 65.20%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.28% to $32,634.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $33,036.0 to a low $32,472.0. While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 1.47% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $31,966 to bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major resistance level at $34,942 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $33,850.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and resistance at $35,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,827. Failure to avoid a fall through the $31,966 pivot would bring the first major support level at $30,081 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$28,000 levels and the 38.2% FIB of $27,465. The second major support level sits at $27,105.

The startling payments were tallied by the Center for Responsive Politics in a report issued Friday. The Associated Press first revealed some of the payments last week, along with the critical involvement of Trump campaign money and actors in the event that instigated the Capitol riot, which claimed five lives, including that of a U.S. Capitol Police officer. The center warned that the full extent of involvement by the Trump campaign and supporters may never be known because of dark money hidden in shell companies. Eight paid Trump campaign officials were listed on the permit issued by the National Park Service for the rally, according to records. One of them, Maggie Mulvaney \x97 the niece of Trump\x92s former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney \x97 was paid $138,000 by the campaign through Nov. 23, which is the latest date covered by the most recent required campaign finance filings.

Company owners \x97 Justin Caporale, the Trump campaign\x92s advance director, and Tim Unes \x97 were identified on the permit as rally production and stage managers. Event Strategies also received $2.1 million from the Trump-affiliated dark money group America First Policies from 2018 to 2019, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Story continues On Jan. 6, Trump urged his supporters in a speech at the rally to go to the Capitol, and \x93fight\x94 to seize the election . \x93You\x92ll never take back our country with weakness,\x94 he exhorted. \x93You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.\x94 Trump\x92s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said in his rally speech concerning the battle to overturn the election of Joe Biden : \x93 Let\x92s have trial by combat !\x94 Among others listed on the permit for that rally was Megan Powers, who worked as director of operations of the Trump campaign as recently as this month, according to her LinkedIn profile.

The global exchange, licensed in Japan, Europe, and the United States, saw a 3x increase in new account registrations last week, suggesting a rising demand for cryptocurrencies. Additionally, November 2020 saw bitFlyer post its highest volume month of the year, amounting to $77 billion in total trading volume globally, most of which flowed to BTC markets. Also, their BTC/USD market saw its highest volume week in 2020. This spike follows bitFlyer USA's launch of the lowest fee structure in the US market earlier in the month. At the time of writing, bitFlyer currently sits at the top of the Bitcoin trading volume rankings when combining global spot and derivative volume, according to Coinhills. Bitcoin Trading Volume Rankings on December 2, 2020. Source: Coinhills . Commenting on Bitcoin's new ATH, bitFlyer USA COO Joel Edgerton said: "The price rise was affected by several factors. Listed companies such as Square and MicroStrategy are buying Bitcoin to park their cash as a hedge against inflation due to the massive and ongoing global monetary easing as a result of COVID-19. PayPal launched its cryptocurrency services in the US which released significant retail demand. Lastly, there are increasing numbers of institutional clients becoming active in the market." "During the all-time high at the end of 2017, the price of Bitcoin reached over $19,700 led by retail investors in Asia, particularly in Japan. This time around, it is led by the US with a noticeable contribution from institutional investors. Grayscale, the cryptocurrency trust fund provider, is managing an estimated $10.4 billion as of November of this year. Whereas, in 2017 we saw speculative short-term investments, we're now seeing long-term hedge investments similar to gold."

Click to skip ahead our lengthy discussion and seeCathie Wood\'s Top 5 Small-Cap Stock Picks.\n"The year has certainly started off in a wild way." ARK Investment Management\'s CEO, Cathie Wood, said that for this year, she will be focusing on capital gains, tax rates and the corporate tax rates following the sweep of the democrats into both the house and the senate. "I think they will go up and that will not be good," said Wood talking about the taxes in a market update webinar of ARK Invest.\nAs of today, Wood stated that the market seems to be focusing on the odds that America will have at least another trillion dollars of stimulus and that the bull market is already broadening up. "I can say I was wrong about what I believe the impact on the stock market was going to be in the short term," she admitted while saying that they were correct however about their assumptions on the V-shaped recovery that is caused by the wobbles of the resurgence in the coronavirus\' infection and fatality rates. "The bull market is broadening out with cyclicals joining the party and actually, we\'re very gratified to see that," she stated.\nHoroscope/Shutterstock.com\n"We think we\'re in a very strong recovery on balance with the occasional wobble as we negotiate the coronavirus. We think there could be an earnings explosion". Wood marked that they are already noticing the surprises relative to their expectations and she emphasized that these were the \'biggest surprises\' she has ever seen in her entire career.\nJust last year, the S&P 500 delivered $100 in earnings on average, and with the momentum that the market has today, accordingly, it could achieve up to $200 earnings at the end of 2021.\nThe treasury yields in the final week of 2020 were breaking out above 1%, and that represents the 10-year treasury bond yield. "Most bond observers and investors I think, have been surprised at the power of the move through 1%. This seems to be breaking a long-term trend that many thought would not be broken for quite some time," she stated, explaining that this belief is due to the Fed\'s current monetary stance. One of the facts here is that the treasury bond yield is moving very rapidly through a key resistance point from the bond investors\' point of view that kept them wondering what could possibly be the reasons for it. Cathie Wood marked that this unusual move in the capital markets left the people confused because the valuations have gone too far and the long-term interest rates are also moving up which tends to be a dampener on the valuations. "Certainly, 1% does not sound like a high number b Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91, 33992.43, 36824.36, 39371.04, 40797.61, 40254.55, 38356.44, 35566.66, 33922.96, 37316.36, 39187.33, 36825.37, 36178.14, 35791.28, 36630.07, 36069.80, 35547.75, 30825.70, 33005.76, 32067.64] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Partially reversing a 2.81% fall from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 9.97% to $32,320.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $31,709.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $31,174, Bitcoin rose to a mid-morning intraday high $33,174.0. Bitcoin broke back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $33,289, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $31,011.0. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $31,174 before recovering to close out the day in the green. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Sunday. Polkadot (-4.65%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Ethereum rallied by 12.92% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+2.28%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.59%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.21%), Crypto.com Coin (+1.40%), and Litecoin (+2.43%) also found strong support. Chainlink (+0.01%) and Ripple’s XRP (+0.62%) trailed the front runners on the day. For the week, it was also a mixed week for the majors. Polkadot rallied by 16.97% to lead the way. Chainlink (+6.47%) and Ethereum (+13.09%) also found support to buck the trend in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV slid by 22.52% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-8.64%), Cardano’s ADA (-7.06%), Crypto.com Coin (-7.98%), Litecoin (-1.14%), and Ripple’s XRP (-11.96%) also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $1,080.72bn before sliding to an early Saturday low $812.79bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $971.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 67.47% before falling to a Sunday low 62.84%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.75%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.29% to $32,736.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $32,253.0 before striking a high $32,835.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Polkadot bucked the trend early on, falling by 0.68%. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 4.02% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $32,168 to bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major resistance level at $33,326 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $33,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $33,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $35,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $34,331. Failure to avoid a fall through the $32,168 pivot would bring the first major support level at $31,163 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $30,005.

I haven't seen your Bitcoin vids, so while I understand lines of resistance and ascending and descending triangles, I don't get exactly what a logarithmic regression rainbow is supposed to do or how you mapped the rainbow to the price graph.\n\nHowever, if I may offer my $0.02....\n\nI don't think that it's really possible to assess this bull market accurately, especially ETH. The dollar and most other fiat currencies are expected to lose a significant chunk of purchasing power, and ETH 1 is a notably different beast than ETH 2.0; they will certainly have different fair market valuations, and unless there is a really big problem with ETH 2.0, it can likely command an order of magnitude higher a price than ETH's historical price. Although again, who knows?\n\nEDIT: This is probably also why several of the projections in the previous ETH price prediction link post are flawed. If you are making a price prediction based on the BTC ratio, you are not factoring ETH 2.0's higher functionality. If it can command a higher price, it may also be able to command a higher ratio. [/EDIT]\n\nI think that these reasons and a few others like them mean that if you just draw a shape on a TA price chart, you're almost certainly going to lowball the potential price action and sell too early. Conversely, if you take these factors into account, the margin of error opens up. I'm drawing best guess peak-price figures which range all the way from 7K to over 90K. \n\nAt this point I am comfortable saying I know that I don't know ETH's peak price. Timing is probably a better metric because the peak will probably be between August and November, so if you just DCA out somewhere in that timeframe you will probably outperform someone who aimed for a target price and sold out.", 'l4asmz']]], ['u/AwkwardAarvark', "Is this the last bubble and why I'd rather pay taxes than take loans against BTC", 45, '2021-01-25 00:49', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l4awqz/is_this_the_last_bubble_and_why_id_rather_pay/', "Not long ago Michael Saylor has started publicly investing in bitcoin; in an interview he referred to the method of taking out loans against BTC rather than selling them. He made the example of wealthy families who have owned land in Manhattan for generations; these families take out loans against the properties. The loans are untaxed and since the price of the properties keep rising, can be paid without losing the properties. Sounds nice. Since his interview (and maybe even before) bitcoiners here and elsewhere have agreed with Saylor to do the same thing with their BTC.\n\nIn my view, that's a bad idea. Here's why.\n\n 1. Counterparty risk. If you deposit your BTC with Celsius or some other lender as collateral, you no longer hold the keys. The lender might get hacked or otherwise go belly-up, and you'll be out of your collateral. Whether this is an acceptable risk is a personal matter.\n\n 2. The strategy is based on the assumption that BTC will keep rising in value. (If BTC does not rise in value, then the loan will come due, with interest, and the collateral may not suffice to cover both, making the loan a very bad investment.). The second risk is thus - what if the 2021 rise is bitcoin's last bubble?\n\nIt think this might be the last bubble. Over a year ago, [someone else made the argument](https://forums.prohashing.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6423) that there is only room for one more bubble. While that post is worth reading, here's why I think there's little room left to grow after this bubble.\n\nLet's assume that the top of the current bull market/bubble is at $150,000. Not unreasonable. That gives a market cap of $2.25 trillion (assuming only 15 million BTC in circulation). That puts BTC at around 20% of the [gold market cap](https://companiesmarketcap.com/gold/marketcap/). That would make bitcoin a major player.\n\nA following bubble (maybe sometime around 2024), which increases the price by, e.g. 10x (i.e. to 1.5 million per BTC) would put us at a whopping $22.5 trillion market cap. That's [two thirds of the S&P 500.](https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_market_cap) It's nearly [half of all the US stock market](https://siblisresearch.com/data/us-stock-market-value/).

None of this means that bitcoin cannot reach such lofty heights, especially in a globalized economy. It's possible, maybe even probable. However, I think it will become increasingly unlikely, and it is certainly not inevitable. Government and institutional resistance is likely to grow exponentially. While governments cannot regulate bitcoin itself, they can regulate bitcoin's interactions with their economies. China, for instance, limits the amount of Remninbi a person can convert to US$ to $50,000. Is it inconceivable that governments will limit the amount of BTC that can be exchanged for fiat, or for goods and services per person? Especially if prompted to do so from powerful lobbying interests?\n\nTime will tell. I could be wrong, which is why I post this here.

Today's Key News: ['LPETTET / Getty Images Everyone needs to invest. In terms of classic pearls of wisdom in the personal finance sphere, “invest your money” is right up there with “have an emergency fund” and “make a budget.” Despite the fact that putting some portion of your savings to work in stock and bond markets is almost universally acknowledged to be sound advice, almost half of Americans aren’t investing. Given how powerful a tool investing can be, that’s downright tragic. See: 26 Smartest Ways To Invest Your Money Right Now Case in point: Imagine that at age 35, your long-lost uncle dies and leaves you $10,000. You’re trying to decide between just parking that money in your savings account — one of the safest options imaginable — and investing money in shares of an S&P 500 exchange-traded fund, an investment designed to match the performance of the index. How would your decision play out after 10, 20 or 30 years? Take a look at the table to see how that $10,000 could grow: What a $10,000 Investment Would Be Worth Over 30 Years Investment Estimated Annual Return After 10 Years After 20 Years After 30 Years Savings Account 0.1% $10,100.45 $10,201.91 $10,304.39 S&P 500 ETF 10% $25,937.42 $67,275 $174,494.02 Whereas the average interest rate paid on a savings account is 0.1%, the average annual return on the S&P 500 has come out to roughly 10% over the years — about 100 times more. That means an average savings account will yield about $100 a decade for every $10,000 while the S&P 500 should more than double the value of your money over the same time period if returns are in line with historical norms. So if you’re among those Americans who still aren’t investing, it’s time to get yourself into the game. Although investing can feel intimidating from the outside looking in, understanding a few basic topics can help you get started even when you don’t have a lot of money to spare. Whether you’re starting with $5 or $5 million, some simple strategies can help keep your risks low and your money growing. Story continues Here’s what this guide to investing your money will cover: What Is Investing and Why Is It Important? What’s Your Investment Strategy? Deciding What To Invest In Investment Accounts Choosing a Broker To Manage Your Investments Common Investing Mistakes What Is Investing and Why Is It Important? On the most basic level, investing is about letting other people use your money. Everyone has to save, be it a rainy day fund or for a major purchase. At the same time, businesses need to spend: on staff, on R&D, on repairs. And most businesses need to spend more than they can get their hands on, even if only temporarily, to keep growing. Investing is the brilliant compromise that makes the money people save temporarily available to businesses that need to borrow. In many cases, you aren’t putting money directly into the hands of a business owner, but almost every transaction involved with investing echoes back to this basic principle at some point — even your savings account. The reason your bank pays interest on your savings account is that it takes a certain percentage of deposits and uses them to make loans, creating profits it shares with you. Not only is your savings account a way to keep your money safe and growing, it’s also playing some role in helping local small businesses get the loans they need. A Guide for Beginners: How To Start Investing Compound Interest Compounding interest refers to the fact that the longer you invest, the faster your money grows. That’s because gains from the money you make from your investments become part of the new basis from which new returns grow. That makes your returns bigger, which makes your investments, and thus your future returns, even bigger. Over time, that can have an exponential effect that’s surprisingly effective. Say you find a high-yield savings account offering a 2% interest rate and park $10,000 there. At the end of the first year, your initial $10,000 will have grown by 2% and you’ll be sitting at $10,200. In that second year, you collect 2% of $10,200, so your interest payment goes from $200 to $204. In year three, you get 2% on $10,404, so you collect $208.08. Over a long enough period, your original $10,000 keeps gathering momentum, like a snowball rolling downhill. Compound Interest Means the Earlier You Invest, the Better You’ll Do Thanks to compound interest, every additional year you leave your savings untouched means an even bigger payout than the year before. Take a hypothetical example of two sisters: Ruth and Erica. Erica had the good sense to take her $10,000 graduation present from grandma, park it in an S&P 500 ETF and then completely forget about it. Ruth, on the other hand, spent grandma’s $10,000 graduation gift on a car, but she started saving 10% of her income a year at age 45 and matched the $10,000 Ruth stashed away each and every year for 20 years. Clearly, Ruth wound up with the larger retirement fund, correct? After all, by age 65, she had invested 20 times as much money as Erica had, and in the exact same investment vehicle. Guess what? Despite failing to save a penny aside from that one investment early on, Erica’s fund is now worth $881,974.85 after compounding at 10% a year for 47 years. Ruth’s fund, despite her investing $200,000 to Erica’s $10,000, is worth $640,024.99. Alas, you can’t travel back in time and invest $10,000 as a teenager, but you can take to heart just how important it is to start investing as soon as possible if you haven’t already. Check Out: 13 Toxic Investments You Should Avoid What’s Your Investment Strategy? Getting the right investment strategy isn’t about having an encyclopedic knowledge of investment products. It’s about what matters the most to you. What are your plans for the future? What are your financial goals? Before you even begin to think about what to invest in, you should have a strong sense of what it is you’re investing for. Here’s what to consider when figuring out your investment strategy: 1. Risk A crucial step in formulating an investing strategy is to figure out what sort of risk profile you want as an investor. Every investment involves risk, and generally speaking, more risk means higher returns and vice versa. In every portfolio, few things matter as much as that dance between risk and return. It’s a careful balance that’s ultimately going to be different for every person. Learn: Ways Investing Will Change in 25 Years 2. Time Frame Another essential factor in developing an investing strategy is when you plan on using your money. Before you can buy a house or start funding your retirement, you’ll need to sell off investments to convert them back into cash. In some cases, selling them at the wrong time can mean you wind up with a lot less. Knowing when you will need to turn your investments into cash, to the degree that’s possible, will help you maximize your earnings. Short Term: Most short-term investments focus on minimizing risk. But the investments that might produce a large gain over a short period of time often have a strong chance of producing a large loss. If you’re going to be cashing out in the near future, you don’t want to be forced to sell at a loss. That’s part of why most financial advisors tell people to begin shifting into more stable investments as they near retirement. Intermediate: With a little more time comes more flexibility to assume risk with less chance of having to sell something before the right time. You might even be able to put a small portion of your money into higher-risk investments because you have a little more time to ride out any ups and downs. But you should start shifting away from that risk the closer you get to needing your money. Long Term: Long-term investing can mean taking on a bit more risk. Because you’re not going to sell any time soon, you can just wait out the ups and downs and stay focused on the trends that play out over years and decades rather than weeks and months. But, once again, keep an eye toward when you will eventually be cashing in so that you can keep shifting into more stable investments over time. Read: Do I Need a Financial Advisor? Deciding What To Invest In Eventually, the rubber meets the road and you have to make some choices about what to invest in. Don’t worry if you find that terrifying. There are a great many investment products built precisely with you in mind, giving you a chance to make simple, easy-to-understand choices without taking unnecessary risks. 1. Stocks Stocks often get the lion’s share of public attention, due in no small part to their volatility. Stocks are among the riskiest investments you can go for, but how much risk you actually take can vary widely depending on your approach. Simply put, a stock is a tiny little piece of a company. The more successful the company, the more valuable its stock becomes. As such, investors buy stocks because they expect to be able to sell them for more later — if they’re particularly good at predicting which companies outpace market expectations, maybe a lot more than they bought it for. That does mean stocks are one the riskiest and most volatile investments. The prospects of a single corporation, even a big one, can be a veritable crapshoot. Even a casual observer of the stock market is probably aware that there’s a crash every decade or two that can send values diving across the board and take years to recover from. Although the short-term perspective on stocks can be chaotic, the long term can be remarkably stable. Whereas the S&P 500 has had individual years where it lost a third of its value, the good years and the bad still average out to a gain of about 10% a year — a return that’s hard to match elsewhere. And it’s also important to remember that there’s a whole range of risk levels when it comes to stocks. Smaller companies, or “penny stocks,” are incredibly risky, but established, “blue-chip” stocks are more stable and less risky by orders of magnitude.

SQ and PayPal Holdings, Inc. PYPL. Monetary policy and inflation are at a historic juncture. Our Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, and his dovish regime have made a groundbreaking promise to let inflation ride past its 2% target level, justifying the action with the low level of 'average inflation' we've seen since the last financial crisis. The average inflation rate since 2009 has been roughly 1.5%, and the Fed is now taking it into their own hands to drive the economy back into growth, sacrificing the 'stable prices' component of its "Dual Mandate," aka keeping inflation at a steady 2%. Now Mrs. Dovish herself, ex-Fed Chair Janet Yellen, is preparing to be sworn in as Treasury Secretary under the impending Biden regime in the next couple of months. Her history of expansionary policy is escalating inflation concerns. It may be time to start thinking about how to protect your portfolio and liquid capital against the deteriorating value implications of inflation. Gold has been one of the primary vehicles of inflation protection since the US went off the gold standard during the Great Depression. Investors & traders have been driving the price of gold up throughout this pandemic. With interest rates plummeting and the Federal Reserve implementing one of its most expansionary policies in history, gold was able to surge to all-time highs past $2,000 an ounce. Rising interest rates this autumn have inhibited the gold boon of 2020, but it looks like that is all turning around as the market prices in the inflationary implications of Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary. SPDR Gold Trust(GLD) remains up over 20% for the year and looks to be headed higher as additional fiscal stimulus becomes more and more likely with COVID-case counts surging and local authorities shutting down Main Street again. If GLD can break through its 50-day moving average (blue line) at around $176, I think this ETF has a lot more room to run. The massive monetary expansion that the Federal Reserve employed has executives concerned about the value of their liquid capital, with future inflation expected to swell. MicroStrategyCEO Michael Saylor made a savvy business decision when he decided to store his enterprise's liquid capital in Bitcoin. He made this judgment call in the face of ultra-low interest rates that were poised to eat away at MicroStrategy's cash reserve value. Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve are printing money like there is no tomorrow and vowing to let inflation run past its 2% target to make up for the past two decades of below-target inflation. MicroStrategy's management team feels that gold is an antiqued store of value and that Bitcoin's blockchain-driven cryptocurrency is the future of inflation-protected assets. This is a store of value strategy that I expect will be increasingly adapted through the roaring 20s. Now fintech giants likeSquareandPayPalare buying up large sums of the pioneering blockchain currency. PayPal has been purchasing nearly 70% of all newly mined 'virgin Bitcoins' since mid-October and is expected to have over $30M worth of this digital asset by the end of the year. Combined Square and PayPal are purchasing more than 100% of newly issued Bitcoin as they launch their respective cryptocurrency services. As more institutions pile into this next generation currency, the price should continue to drive higher. Below is a list of bitcoin holdings by company holdings provided by BitcoinTreasuries.org. MicroStrategy has given Bitcoin the corporate seal of approval with its $425B investment in August and September, an investment that has returned the company over $300B in just 4 months. This is more income than the business has produced over the last 7 years of operations. MSTR is currently the largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, with nearly 1/3rd of its market value being attributed to its BTC holdings. MicroStrategy is now selling $400 million in debt to buy more BTC. Bitcoin is teetering at its 2017 high and looks like it's preparing to materially break into the $20,000s as the digital currency catches a big bid from institutions. Investing in MicroStrategy is a good, hedged way to get exposure to Bitcoin's resurging price. Check out my recent Bull of The Day piece on MSTR for more color. Inflation is coming, and Jerome Powell is making sure of it, now the question is what assets to use to protect your liquid capital. Bitcoin is a higher risk move but could provide you with strong inflation-protected returns as institutions start moving in on this cryptocurrency. Gold has been the tried and true inflation protector, and I think it is worth holding at least some amid this unprecedented monetary expansionary period.

Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity. A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s.

After surging to a fresh all-time high of almost $42,000 on Friday, Bitcoin prices tumbled more than 25% to $31,000 Monday morning, generating debate over whether the crypto has entered a technical bear market or is just pulling back, even as companies continue to seek approval for a Bitcoin ETF. To be sure, the notorious cryptocurrency has still climbed a tremendous amount from last year, but the steep drop underscores the sharp rise, and how dangerous the volatility is for traders and investors, who collectively lost roughly $200 billion. "It's scary when the price of bitcoin just goes straight up," said James Putra, vice president of product strategy for TradeStation Crypto. "This pullback was needed." The market capitalization or value of the cryptocurrency market was $880 billion on Monday, down from $1.08 trillion a day earlier, according to Coinmarketcap. Just last week a strategist at Bank of America said Bitcoin's explosive rise may be represent the "mother of all bubbles," noting that the recent sharp run-up in the crypto is more significant than other historic manias of the past few decades, such as gold in the 1970s, the dot-com and tech bubble the late 1990s, and the housing boom in the mid-2000s. Despite the steep fall however, analysts feel that it is a "healthy correction" that "was due a long time ago," according to Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade. This could provide an opportunity for Bitcoin permanent-bulls to jump on board, and make a more significant case for a Bitcoin ETF, which would allow for smaller trading sizes. “The correction we saw was expected as we believe the BTC price surge recently from under $20,000 to $40,000 in the past four weeks will induce sell pressure,” said Simons Chen, executive director of investment and trading at cryptocurrency financial services firm Babel Finance. The $40,000 level may have represented a ceiling to be used for profit-taking, Chen said. The famed cryptocurrency first crested the $20,000 level in mid-December and rocketed past $30,000 earlier this month, thanks to coronavirus-induced panic and political and economic uncertainty throughout the globe. Even with the drops over the weekend and Monday, Bitcoin is over 10% higher already in 2021, having spiked about 300% in the past year. Jehan Chu, founder of cryptocurrency-focused venture capital and trading firm Kenetic Capital, said the steep drop in Bitcoin could present a buying opportunity for new investors. “This short term correction is both natural and needed, and is a great entry point for long-term investors as we quickly reach $50k this quarter and $100k by year’s end,” Chu told CNBC.

With more attention on environmental, social, and governance investments, some warn of a potential bubble forming in high-flying socially responsible companies, but ESG investors may not mind. For instance, Tesla is trading at more than 1,000 times trailing earnings, and a fund that tracks the Nasdaq clean energy index trades at 52 times trailing earnings or almost double the overall market's current historically high multiples, reflecting the current euphoria in green energy, Greg Ip writes for the Wall Street Journal . “The bubble in renewables is probably the stupidest that I have seen in my career,” Charles Gave, chairman of money manager and research firm Gavekal, wrote last month. While some bubbles can be destructive, like the one that initiated the financial meltdown of 2008, the bubble in green energy may be socially constructive to ESG investors' goal of doing good. There is little incentive for risky innovation in the private markets since shareholders only capture a portion of the benefits, but the current bubble could provide the needed capital on new ventures to push the green tech envelope, even if the ventures fail. Tesla has benefited from this bubble-like pricing as it has perennially run the risk of running out of funding when transitioning from a niche seller to a mass manufacturer. Green energy may also benefit from its reliance on technology, along with advances in tech that would provide greater efficiencies down the line. “The key technologies of renewable energy systems—solar, wind, and batteries—… follow a learning curve: each doubling of their installed capacity leads to the same decline of costs,” Max Roser, founder of Our World in Data, said in a note, pointing out that between 2009 and 2019, the cost of photovoltaic solar power fell 89%, of onshore wind by 70%, whereas the cost of gas- and coal-generated power, which depend mostly on the price of the fuel, fell by a third and 2%, respectively. Story continues Looking ahead, demand for these ESG companies may not abate as more retail, and institutional investors look into socially responsible investments that track ESG criteria.

Wall Street also provided a lift to sentiment, as stocks rebounded after earnings season got off to a strong start and concerns eased around hedge funds selling long positions to cover shorts.

The gauge is still on track for a 0.4% weekly advance following safety buying at the start of the week amid concerns that President Joe Biden\'s fiscal spending package will not be as large as the proposed $1.9 trillion. However, many analysts expect the dollar to return to the downward trend that saw it lose nearly 7% of its value last year, particularly with the Federal Reserve committed to ultra-easy monetary policy. "Wide expectations of that huge issuance that\'s coming and the support of the Fed mean that we\'re looking in the medium-term for further U.S. dollar weakness," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney. "The flipside of the reversal in risk appetite is we\'re seeing good support for commodity currencies," like the Australian dollar, he added.

Partially reversing a 6.45% slide from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $33,373.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $29,918.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $28,938, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $33,800.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $32,251 and the 38.2% FIB of $33,008. Falling short of the second major resistance level at $34,080, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at sub-$33,500 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Polkadot fell by 0.58% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA and Chainlink rallied by 10.70% and by 9.82% to lead the way. Ethereum (+7.46%) and Litecoin (+8.89%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+4.16%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.49%), Crypto.com Coin (+6.38%), and Ripple’s XRP (+5.63%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $1,038.16bn before falling to a Wednesday low $847.51bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $990.18bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.54% to a Monday high 64.32%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.02%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.82% to $33,979.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $33,337.0 to a high $34,300.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the morning. Polkadot was down by 0.86% to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Litecoin was up by 3.08% to lead the way. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the pivot level at $32,364 to bring the first major resistance level at $34,809 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $34,300.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $35,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,246. Failure to avoid a fall through the 23.6% FIB and the $32,364 pivot would bring the first major support level at $30,927 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $28,482.

The ETP will go live on Jan. 19 and will be listed under the ticker BITC. Bitcoin ETPs provide exposure to bitcoin in a regulated asset class. In contrast to the U.S., where regulators have been loathe to sign off on bitcoin ETF applications, there are already several entities offering crypto-backed products across Europe. The product’s assets will be custodied by Komainu, a venture that launched about a year ago involving Nomura Holdings, CoinShares and Ledger. BITC will charge a 0.98% expense ratio and will be physically backed by bitcoin. Just last week, digital asset-backed securities developer ETC Group announced it would list a physically backed bitcoin ETP on SIX. ETC Group was the 34th ETP provider on the exchange, making CoinShares the 35th.

Reasons should be obvious to anyone looking around. Most of the world spent the last year under house arrest and we learned just how willing people are to accept Orwellian takeover of all areas of our lives. The mixed economy is revealing itself more than ever to be what Steve Patterson called today "the extended State," censoring information, canceling accounts, de-personing people, all in all serving the ends of totalitarianism around the world. Scary times, so I think one is being irresponsible in not reducing their risk surface here.\n\nThe three forks of Bitcoin (BCH, BSV and BTC) make up a large portion of the strategy in achieving that goal, so obviously being able to pay with them without converting to fiat on an exchange (an attack surface) is very important.\n\nFor any kind of commerce, 9/10 I use BCH and my [Bitcoin.com](https://Bitcoin.com) wallet. It\'s awesome. You use it once and you realise big-block Bitcoin is the best payments tool ever created. BSV works great too but it doesn\'t have anywhere near the adoption that BCH has in payments and Craig\'s shenanigans make it increasingly unlikely companies are going to integrate it because who wants to deal with people like that?\n\nToday\n\nToday I had to pay with BTC. I don\'t do it too often but in this particular case there was a giftcard I needed to buy that was only available on BitRefill as far as I could tell. I paid for the $400 card + a $17.50 fee, waited an hour then drove a half hour to the store. I was in the store for another hour but when it came time to pay the transaction still hadn\'t confirmed.\n\nI waited another half hour and meanwhile I\'m on Twitter reading idiots in the Bitcoin Mini space talking about how everyone needs to buy Bitcoin (BTC) to escape companies like Robinhood censoring your economic activity and you just can\'t help but scream inside a bit because BTC literally cannot handle many more people trying to join to escape this BS. I paid roughly a 5% fee on my transaction and still can\'t buy anything at the store after several hours. It gets much, much worse from here. You\'d see confirmations taking weeks and weeks, or months, if all the economic activity around GameStop lately tried to join BTC to escape economic censorship.\n\nAnd of course the added irony is that it is 100% censorable. It\'s not just that everyone is going to have to use custodial payment options, or that fees are going to be so high only banks and Michael Saylor (who has probably never used Bitcoin) will use the chain, it\'s also that the wait period for confirmations will have a similar chilling effect that economic censorship has.\n\nI waited...and waited...but I was on a pretty tight schedule so I decided to just pay with credit card like all the Bitcoin Minimalists tell you to. I drove home and in total it\'s been nearly six hours and there\'s still no confirmation.\n\nSure, sure I could have a "lower time preference..." like the Minimalists say, and I\'m all about that, but in this case the purchase was time sensitive! Dead economic time like that really costs a lot of money and it can do a lot of other personal damage. Couldn\'t wait.\n\nConclusion\n\nSo now I\'ve got $400 on my credit card and a $400 gift card (plus fees) I have no use for that I still can\'t spend, and I\'m lucky I can afford it but keep in mind a few things:\n\n\\- The fee alone can buy people several meals in countries that need it most.\n\n\\- Most people today would just have to wait until the transaction finally did confirm because it would be too expensive to eat the cost twice by paying with a credit card after the fact. Economic activity slows accordingly.\n\n\\- Slow confirmation times are an attack opportunity for state actors. Not everyone has the luxury of having a low time preference.\n\nThey say Bitcoin isn\'t for buying coffee but if it\'s not for $400 payments either then what good is it? Interbank transfers?\n\nThis is not the revolution that got many of us so excited years ago.\n\nI said "one of my goals for 2021 is to reduce my exposure to fiat and traditional banking as much as possible," and I know I\'m not alone in this goal, but that is impossible to achieve on BTC because it has been artificially rate limited by dummies, trolls and saboteurs. Minis pushing that dream are living in a fantasy. It\'s never going to happen.\n\nLiving off of Bitcoin and the damage Core did\n\nBig-block Bitcoin is the obvious choice, but right now we\'re stuck with the unfortunate reality that BTC is the market leader and both BCH and BSV, and just about everything else, have lost significant value vs BTC, and best money needs to not only be good for payments but also storing value against other assets.\n\nIt\'s just a sad fact that it\'s hard to fully live off BCH if it\'s not yet a good store of value. But from my own experience today it\'s clearly impossible to live off BTC now. I make quite a few transactions everyday and I can\'t wait 5+ hours every time. Forget about the fees.\n\nSo looking at it all in whole, you can begin to see the damage that was really done. Bitcoin was split into a mainstream version that is entirely useless as a payments tool but has the network effect and branding that gives it the kind of price appreciation that attracts more people, and a less mainstream version that is amazing for payments but struggles against a 1000 alt coins for network and market share which makes it less useful and less threatening.\n\nHard to believe that wasn\'t intentional.....\n\nNow more than ever people are looking for ways to opt out of the current system, but we just aren\'t there yet. We would be if BTC had just raised the blocksize years ago. We\'d have a true digital store of value that was incredible for moving any amount of money around the world at fast speeds and low costs.

Following on from a 9.70% rally on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,253.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to a late morning intraday low $31,987.0 before making a move. While steering clear of the first major support level at $30,927, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Finding late morning support, Bitcoin rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $38,710.7 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $34,809 and the second major resistance level at $36,246. More significantly, Bitcoin also broke back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. The reversal, however, saw Bitcoin slide back through the major resistance levels to revisit sub-$34,000 levels. Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB, Bitcoin moved back through to $34,000 levels to deliver the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Chainlink (-1.37%) and Polkadot (-2.97%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP rallied by 6.89% to lead the pack Ethereum (+3.47%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.65%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.47%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+0.41%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.60%), and Litecoin (+0.88%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Wednesday low $847.51bn before rising to a Friday high $1,136.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $997.86bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.54% to a Friday high 65.93%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.21%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.69% to $34,490.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $34,244.7 before striking a high $34,900.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV and Ripple’s XRP were up by 1.12% and by 0.52% to join Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 4.09% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $34,984 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,980 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $38,710.7 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $41,707. Failure to move through the $34,984 pivot would bring 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91, 33992.43, 36824.36, 39371.04, 40797.61, 40254.55, 38356.44, 35566.66, 33922.96, 37316.36, 39187.33, 36825.37, 36178.14, 35791.28, 36630.07, 36069.80, 35547.75, 30825.70, 33005.76, 32067.64, 32289.38, 32366.39, 32569.85, 30432.55, 33466.10, 34316.39] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Ether, which is the second-biggest digital asset by market value after bitcoin, has nearly doubled just in January alone.

Market moves Bitcoin is coming off its worst week in almost five months, but the main takeaway, according to veteran digital-market traders and analysts, is that it wasn’t really all that bad. Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Hits $34.8K While Ether Volatility Skyrockets A quick glance at price charts shows that declines at least as large as last week’s 9.9% retreat have happened nine times in the past two years. And the cryptocurrency’s price has risen so dramatically and consistently over the period that those prior corrections almost look quaint. The worst sell-off in recent memory was the 33.5% weekly plunge in March 2020, when the devastating economic toll of the coronavirus became clear to global investors. But in absolute dollar terms, that $2,690 drop was less than last week’s $3,950 loss, showing just how far bitcoin’s price has climbed since then. Story continues According to Kraken, the cryptocurrency exchange, buyers appeared to materialize last week whenever prices fell to about $30,000. That’s just above the $29,112 level where bitcoin started off the year, following a 2020 when it quadrupled in price. “While 10%+ drawdowns shake conviction, these moves have been met with strong bids,” Delphi Digital, a cryptocurrency analysis firm, told clients Friday in a note. “Shaking out profit takers and ‘weak hands’ is necessary for BTC to make strides upwards.” According to Chainalysis, a blockchain-analysis firm, bitcoin’s recent rally to new record highs above $40,000 may have been too much to resist for speculators who have only recently nosed into the cryptocurrency arena, lured by the outsize returns of recent years. “New buyer behavior is still a major source of medium-term price volatility and is currently elevated,” Philip Gradwell, chief economist for New York-based Chainalysis, wrote Friday. “It is important to restate that the bitcoin price is still at historically very high levels.” Ryan Selkis, CEO of the digital-markets analysis firm Messari, wrote that last week’s tumble “looked like a nice little dip for new buyers, and a wealth transfer from some of the weakest-handed sellers I’ve seen in crypto to those with an actual investment thesis.” Data extracted from the bitcoin blockchain network show the number of addresses with at least 1,000 or more bitcoins increased last week – an indication that large institutional buyers may have been stepping into the market as prices dipped, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shen reported Friday . “The buying pressure seen in the lower bounds of the current range have been solid,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading at the cryptocurrency exchange firm EQUOS, told clients early Monday in a note. “The selling pressure above is in no way weaker. If bulls manage to break out, though, the move to the next level ($34,855) could be explosive and even take us further, back to the upper $38Ks.” The upshot? Further downside might still be in store, but the limited scope of last week’s price decline reveals plenty of demand for bitcoin at levels well above prices that prevailed in 2020. – Bradley Keoun Bitcoin watch The bitcoin market is showing signs of weakening demand from U.S.-based institutions, according to Singapore-based trading firm QCP Capital. Comparing bitcoin’s price moves during Asia daytime hours and American hours (split into 12 hours each) shows a clear pattern of relentless buying during the North American trading hours and selling in Asia, mainly by large investors (known as whales) and cryptocurrency miners. The pattern emerged following the March 2020 price crash and had endured until two weeks ago when bitcoin reached record highs above $41,900. Since then, the strength during U.S. hours has lost momentum, QCP Capital noted in its Telegram channel. The flat-to-negative “Coinbase Premium” – the spread between Coinbase’s BTC/USD pair and Binance’s BTC/USDT pair, which includes the stablecoin tether – also suggests absence of strong demand from high-net-worth individuals and institutions. “I’ll keep my bearish bias until there are significant Coinbase premium and Coinbase outflow,” Ki Young Ju, CEO of blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant, tweeted on Sunday. “BTC needs [U.S. dollar] spot inflows from institutional investors to start the next bull run.” As such, odds appear stacked against the cryptocurrency keeping gains above $33,000. “We could be in for a classic ‘W’ bottom when the first bounce off the lows is met by another batch of selling before it eventually bounces back for real,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer of the Paris-based quantitative trading firm ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk in a WhatsApp chat. – Omkar Godbole Token watch Ether ( ETH ): Three reasons to be bullish include next month’s CME futures launch, the planned transition to 2.0 “staking network” and possible token burns via the EIP 1559 update ( CoinDesk ) Chainlink ( LINK ): Data-oracle token hits new all-time high price above $25 ( CoinDesk ) What’s hot Key executive at Huobi crypto exchange said to be taken into custody by Chinese police in investigation related to over-the-counter trading service.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, rose by 0.17% on Saturday. Following on from a 2.63% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,341.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $34,929.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $37,980, Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $32,827.0. While steering clear of the first major support level at $31,256, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Finding support through the rest of the day, Bitcoin broke back through the 23.6% FIB to revisit $34,800 levels before easing back. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Crypto.com Coin (-6.77%), Litecoin (-0.94%), and Polkadot (-1.59%) saw red to buck the trend. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP surged by 56.84% to lead the day. Binance Coin (+4.64%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.95%), and Chainlink (+3.91%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.57%) trailed the front runners, with Ethereum ending the day flat. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Wednesday low $847.51bn before rising to a Friday high $1,136.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,005.74bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.54% to a Friday high 65.93%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.40%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.24% to $34,260.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $34,407.0 before falling to a low $34,091.0 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.18%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.57%), Chainlink (+0.84%), and Polkadot (+0.23%) found early support. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 2.70% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $34,032 to bring the first major resistance level at $35,238 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $34,929.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $35,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,134. Failure to avoid a fall through the $34,032 pivot would bring the first major support level at $33,136 and the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$32,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $31,930.

For have you been watching the Gold/Silver ratio of late? We have as it has its own dedicated cell on our key screen of live data. Which is why for the first time “in forever” we of a sudden sat bolt upright this past Thursday in taking notice of said ratio being sub-70x! “Is it live? Or is it Memorex?”, (i.e. on tape from nearly four years ago). For that was the last instance of the Gold/Silver ratio being below 70x: 17 April, 2017 at 69.9x. Fast forward that tape to today and the ratio is now 68.4x. The millennium-to-date average of the Gold/Silver ratio is 66.2x such that ’tis fair to say these two precious metals are well within a standard deviation of having returned to being on “par” with one another. (For those of your caring to include a full generation prior, said average ratio as dated from 1975 is 59.7x). Either way, here’s the daily graphic across these past twenty years (plus one month) of the Gold/Silver ratio with its average as having evolved throughout: Indeed peeking back to The Gold Update of 04 April 2020 (“Gold Losing A Gear As Markets Are Losing their Fear”), we therein penned: “…the Gold/Silver ratio … [is] a staggeringly high 113.5x, nearly double the millennium-to-date average…” On that date, the price of Silver was 14.53: today at 27.06 ’tis +86.3% since then; (Gold across the same time frame is but a comparable +12.2%). Hence the race back to a more realistic reading. And clearly ’tis not because of any fallout in Gold. Rather, ’tis due to Silver finally garnering long-overdue committed notice by getting much more of a bid than has Gold in recent months. Even for just this brief year so far, Gold is -2.7% — in last place by the BEGOS Market Standings — but Silver in second place is +2.0%. Here’s the table with 2021’s first trading month officially in the books: Story continues ‘Course Oil +7.7% is the big winner thus far in 2021, clearly being cushioned by the nixing of new StateSide energy facilities, (the void of which hardly shall be filled by substantive “green” sources perhaps for decades). But again as to Sweet Sister Silver’s outlook for the balance of this year: should the Gold/Silver ratio of, let’s say 70x, be maintained and Gold touch our forecast high of 2401 , that mathematically would see Silver at 34.30 … “Got Silver?” As for the present we’ve got Gold by its weekly bars from a year ago-to-date, price’s churning nonetheless keeping the relatively fresh parabolic Long trend intact, its fourth blue dot appearing as shown. But priced at 1850 with the “flip to Short” price at 1779, such distance of 71 points is basically the same of that portrayed a week ago, which given the present “expected weekly trading range” of 70 points still finds this Long trend technically subject to Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91, 33992.43, 36824.36, 39371.04, 40797.61, 40254.55, 38356.44, 35566.66, 33922.96, 37316.36, 39187.33, 36825.37, 36178.14, 35791.28, 36630.07, 36069.80, 35547.75, 30825.70, 33005.76, 32067.64, 32289.38, 32366.39, 32569.85, 30432.55, 33466.10, 34316.39, 34269.52] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

But despite the COVID -related global financial downturn, one sector has bucked the trend and is projected to climb even higher this year. People know it as the cryptocurrency sector, led by Bitcoin. If you have money to spare and youre willing to try a high-yield but high-risk investment, you might want to look at cryptocurrencies . But before you do, you must be warned that these digital assets are highly volatile and there are equal chances of earning big or going bust. Take for instance the meteoric rise of the price of Bitcoin , which reached almost $20,000 at the end of 2017 only to plummet to about $3,500 in November 2018. With that in mind, it is important to educate yourself about crypto investing and minimize mistakes to get ahead in the market. Cryptocurrency Investment Mistakes To Avoid Investing Without Knowing Whether its cryptocurrency or any other asset, the first thing to remember in investing is to educate yourself and understand what youre getting yourself into. Before you even invest a single cent, you need to allocate some time in learning about the basics of crypto investing. Crypto investment remains unpredictable and risky and if you dont know what youre doing, you can end up losing money. Below are some of the basic things you need to know about crypto money: It's completely digital and therefore it is not physically represented like metallic coins or paper money. In fact, cryptocurrencies exist only in the digital world or in computers. It's universal. You can use digital money across different countries and borders. If you have Bitcoin , for example, you can pay a seller in Australia or Morocco whos also using it. You don't have to think about exchanging it for local currency such as Australian Dollar or Moroccan Dirham. It's peer to peer. A crypto transaction only occurs online. So, you can only transfer digital money to another person virtually. It's decentralized. You have the sole responsibility of keeping track of your own crypto money. There are no central banks and financial institutions that govern or protect cryptocurrencies and the investments therein. It's encrypted. The reason why it's called crypto is that it is hidden. Users are given long strings of alpha-numeric codes and are not even required to use their real names or addresses to open a crypto investment. Story continues So, if you invest in this type of asset, you should know that you are responsible for your own money. If you encounter problems with your investment, you cant get assistance from your Central Bank, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a Depository Insurance Company because crypto is completely decentralized and unregulated. Thinking Cryptocurrency Is Foolproof Encrypted does not mean secure. If theres one mistake that newbie investors in crypto markets make, its thinking that the encrypted nature of a digital currency is enough to make it secure. Encryption makes it confidential, but it doesn't mean cryptocurrencies can't be hacked or stolen. As mentioned above, this type of asset is decentralized, so keeping your digital money safe will be your sole responsibility. Here are some tips that can keep your investment protected: Don't share your keys with anyone. Since cryptocurrency is represented by codes or keys, you need to make sure to keep the codes to yourself. If you need to write it down, keep it inside a vault or a safety deposit box. If you must keep it in a document or text file, be sure that your computer is secure. Once somebody gets your keys, they can use it without your knowledge. Don't leave your crypto coins in exchanges for long periods, no matter how popular the exchange is. Although crypto exchanges have security measures in place, they have been a favourite target for many hackers. Thus, you don't want to just simply leave your digital assets in an exchange for a long time and then pray that it won't be hacked. Store your crypto coins in a digital wallet. Choose one that offers features and protocols that will best suit your needs and budget. But don't focus only on the features, you also need to check out the credibility, performance, and reputation of the company. It is important to choose a wallet from a company that you can trust. Not Paying Attention To The Math When investing in anything, keep your eyes on the prize. With Bitcoins projected rise in 2021 , you need to focus on the profit potential. But how will you know that you are indeed making a profit if you don't pay attention to the numbers? For example, you need to look at transaction fees. Since cryptocurrencies can be very volatile, it is not surprising to see multiple price changes within a day or even an hour. If you want to take advantage of these changes, you must consider transaction fees because it could take out a significant portion of your gains. Another thing to remember is taxes. In Canada and the U.S., you need to pay capital gains per transaction. So, if you trade excessively, your profits might turn into losses just because you failed to include fees and taxes into your computations. Making Crypto Investment Decisions Based on Emotions HODL, FOMO, and FUD are just some of the acronyms you will encounter in crypto investing. Each of these represents some kind of strategy but are emotion-driven at the same time, which should not drive your investment decisions. HODL means to hold on to your investment no matter how volatile the market is. This is okay. But sometimes, you just don't have time to wait for a good return on your investment. When that happens, cutting off your losses is a better choice. FOMO or Fear of Missing Out means buying on the hype because you just want to follow the trend. This is the most dangerous one because you would be susceptible to fly-by-night schemes or scams. Lastly, FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. FUD may prevent you from investing in crypto even if the research stats or market sentiments are telling you that its a good time to invest. Investing in Just One Crypto Bitcoin is the holy grail of cryptocurrencies. While its having a bull run right now, it can still plummet and trigger huge losses at any given period. Therefore, it is best to diversify your digital assets. Many other cryptocurrencies can offer you good returns like Ethereum and Altcoin. Dont put all your money in just one crypto. Much like the old adage in investing, dont put all your eggs in one basket. Conclusion In a survey conducted by Deutsche Bank , 41% of investors believe that the price of Bitcoin will be between $20,000 and $49,999 in 2021, up from almost $10,000 in January of 2020. When Bitcoin rises, other altcoins usually follow the trend. This means that cryptocurrencies, in general, are expected to perform well this year. But just like any other type of commodity or asset, investing in cryptocurrencies can end in huge losses if you dont know what youre doing. The highly volatile market can give you huge profit opportunities, but it comes at a price. You need to learn about the right way to invest in crypto assets.

Sources tell Deadline that following a competitive situation, MGM has acquired the book proposal The Antisocial Network from New York Times best-selling author Ben Mezrich , which tells one of the biggest news stories of the year, about a ragtag group of amateur investors, gamers, and internet trolls who brought Wall Street to its knees. Even though the story is barely a week old, insiders say Mezrich and his reps took the proposal on the market at the end of the week and by Friday night MGM had moved fast to acquire the rights. The project brings MGM’s Michael DeLuca back together with Mezrich, author of The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, a Tale Of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal, which was adapted into the Academy Award-winning The Social Network that DeLuca produced.

That caused GameStop’s market value to increase rise over 1,700% since December. Between Tuesday and Wednesday, the market value rose over $10 billion. The fun didn’t stop there as more newcomers to the stock game began looking at other stocks deemed obsolete or super low like Nokia and AMC to try and do the same resulting a major controversy when the trading app RobinHood began putting restrictions on certain stocks. Story continues Its unknown where Mezrich’s story starts and stops but its certainly a story as timely as you can get and clearly something Hollywood was happy to sink its teeth in so soon. Academy Award-nominee Aaron Ryder of Ryder Picture Company (RPC), who recently signed a first look film deal with MGM, will produce.

It’s exciting but pay attention to these more important factors. Is the above really the key thing that’s happening in the markets right now? No, it’s only the most interesting thing. I admit, what we’re seeing on the Internet right now is truly absorbing, but one should realize that it’s what used to happen multiple times in history. This time it’s simply more visible as the conversations and associated images are publicly available and widely distributed. In yesterday’s intraday Alert , I commented on the issue of the likely implications of these cumulative purchases on the precious metals market as a whole and what difference they are likely to make over the course of the following months and weeks – next to none. Well, there is one effect that I’m expecting to see. It’s the increased volatility during the following price declines – likely proportionate to what was so vigorously bought in the last few days. Figure 1 – GameStop Corporation (GME) – NYSE The above GameStop chart shows a near-vertical rally, and it also shows the spike in volume. The purchasing power seems to have dried up and the price – as expected – fell. Those, who bought at $300, were already at a 33% loss as of yesterday’s close. The various forums (other forums joined in, it’s not just Reddit anymore) are filled with messages and images encouraging to “hold”. But sooner or later people will realize that without fresh buyers the price is going to fall, and one by one, they are likely to panic and sell – especially knowing that they won’t be “punished” by the “forum community” in any way, as it’s not known to the forum participants who is selling and when. The topic of silver manipulation , paper silver andpaper goldreally is older than 20 years, and it’s been mostly the same argument over all those years. The price managed to rally from below $5 to about $50 – if there was a massive long-term manipulation, then it wasn’t particularly effective. If it didn’t prevent silver from rallying so far, then why would it prevent silver from rallying from below $20 to $200? Anyway, this topic is too broad to be fully discussed, even in a lengthy Alert – the point that I want to make here is that nothing new happened in the silver market – it just got more spotlight. So, what’s more important and timelier than the above topics, even though it doesn’t get as much attention – and can herald a decline in the precious metals? Figure 2 –S&P 500(ES.F) First, the almost-confirmed medium-term breakdown in stocks! On Wednesday, the S&P 500 futures moved visibly below the rising support line and closed below it for the first time. Despite yesterday’s strength, stocks were unable to rally back above it and so far, today, stocks are moving lower. If the S&P 500 futures close today below this line, the breakdown will be confirmed by both: three consecutive daily closes and a weekly close. This will be a bearish sign for the short term. If stocks slide further shortly, it will be particularly bearish for silver and mining stocks, which means that those who bought yesterday based on forum messages etc. would be likely to find themselves at a loss relatively soon. This, in turn, means that the decline could be quite volatile. Second, there is also another market that could ignite the powerful decline in the PMs and miners – the rallying USD Index. Figure 3 – USD Index (DX.F) Despite the intraday decline, the USDX is once again close to its 2021 highs. The USD Index is testing its previous 2020 highs, and it might (!) be forming the right shoulder of a short-term head-and-shoulders pattern. The key word here is “might”. If the USDX rallies above its previous highs (about ~91), this pattern will be invalidated and the short-term outlook for the USDX will be clearly bullish. This would also serve as a breakout above the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern (mid-Dec. low being the left shoulder, the early 2021 low being the head, and the recent low being the right shoulder), which would have even more bullish implications (with the price target above 92). Would this be enough for gold to decline to $1,700? It might not be enough, but it might be enough for the miners to move to my above-mentioned initial downside targets ($31 and $42.5 for GDX and GDXJ, respectively). So, the bearish storm seems to be brewing. How are the precious metals responding? Let’s take a look at gold. Figure 4 – COMEX Gold Futures (GC.F) Gold shrugged off yesterday’s “exciting news” coming from the internet’s forums. It rallied initially, almost touched its declining resistance line, and then reversed, thus erasing the previous gains. It’s now trading pretty much at the same levels where it was trading two days ago. The outlook remains bearish and yesterday’s reversal actually makes it even stronger. Figure 5 – COMEX Silver Futures (SI.F) Silver is visibly stronger than it was a few days ago, but if the precious metals sector is about to head lower (especially given the breakdown in stocks) this would be normal even without the entire “let’s buy silver” forum theme. And miners? Figure 6 – VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) Miners invalidated the breakdown below the neck level of the head and shoulders pattern. Invalidations of these breakouts tend to be “buy” signals. BUT yesterday’s session has “this time really was different”written all over it. Part of the purchase encouragements on forums were for mining stocks. While silver has indeed rallied yesterday (and so did AG, which was particularly promoted), the GDX ETF moved higher only somewhat. It still closed more or less at its mid-January low and it didn’t manage to erase Tuesday’s decline. Overall, I think that the proper context is the relative weakness of miners and not the direct implications of the technical invalidation. Moreover, please note that if the symmetry in terms of shape between both green boxes on the above chart is to be upheld, then it shouldn’t be surprising to see a quick volatile upswing that’s very short. In fact, since the volatility now is smaller than it was in late April 2020, what we saw yesterday might have already been the analogy to what had happened back then. All in all, the outlook for the precious metals market remains bearish for the following weeks, regardless of what the next few days will bring. Also… Do you remember about bitcoin? Some time ago, I wrote that the bitcoin situation made the overall situation in currencies similar to late 2017 / early 2018. Figure 7 – Bitcoin Vault (BTC.V) Just as we saw back then,bitcoinsoared while the USD Index plunged. Then both markets reversed . Figure 8 That was also the time when precious metals and miners (and stocks) topped. So, what’s new? We just saw another clear confirmation that this is the very final inning of the rally. You probably heard that in the final part of a bull market, everything that’s in it soars. If it’s a gold bull market, then even stocks that have “gold” in their name will likely rally even though they might have nothing to do with the precious metals market. People don’t care to check, and emotions are too high to bother checking what they are actually buying. Well, there’s a cryptocurrency that started as a joke, but then became a relatively big market. Dogecoin . The reason why I’m mentioning it is that dogecoin just soared… Figure 9 And it had previously soared in this way in early 2018, a few weeks after bitcoin topped. This is exactly what one would expect to see at a market top, based on common sense (analogy to buying just about anything close to the top), but the fact that we already saw pretty much the same thing in bitcoin, dogecoin, and the USD Index at the top 3 years ago should be flashing a big red light even for the most bearish of USD bears and most bullish crypto bulls. Remember, early 2018 was also the moment when the stock market and PMs topped. The above indications are on top of myriads of other factors pointing to lower precious metals and mining stock prices – this is all much more important than forum posts – even very convincing ones. Please note that today’s volatility is somewhat expected – it’s Friday (options expire) and it’s also the final session of the month. Quite many people and entities might want to push prices and indices in their favor, so that options expire on their preferred side of their options’ strike prices. So, whatever happens today might easily be erased in early February. Thank you for reading our free analysis today.

Today's Key News: ['Zurich - 2 February 2021 - 21Shares AG , the pioneering issuer of crypto Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) is launching the world’s first Polkadot ETP (ADOT SW - CH0593331561 - PDOT) "DOT ETP" on the regulated segment of the Swiss stock exchange (SIX Exchange) on Thursday February 4th, 2021 . Last Friday, Polkadot was admitted by the Index Provider to the 21Shares HODL basket ETP as second-largest constituent after Bitcoin (BCH being removed) and as such, makes it is the perfect timing to add an additional single asset ETP to the already wide range of crypto ETPs 21Shares offers. “We remain committed to the unprecedented demand we are seeing from institutional investors wanting exposure to crypto-assets and 21Shares remains ahead of the curve for delivering innovative yet simple financial products on the market. Our expertise and experience reflect the clear advantage we have over other market participants” Hany Rashwan, CEO 21Shares AG , says. “After investors purchase their first Bitcoins through our ETPs, there is a natural transition to invest in other crypto assets. We have consistently delivered a range of products over the last two years demonstrating our stronghold in the D-A-CH region. European investors are approaching us to launch new products based on other key crypto assets to enable them easy access without the need for a private key or unregulated wallets and exchanges. We benefit from trusted partners for the liquidity provision and upon continued institutional demand, we are launching the DOT ETP to give investors a safe, regulated, and easy way to obtain exposure to this exciting new blockchain technology. In the next 3 months, we aim to add 2 to 3 more innovative ETPs as well as new European exchange listings. No other issuer in this industry enjoys such a wide range of crypto ETPs and on so many European exchanges’ regulated segments.” Polkadot serves as a blockchain of blockchains, allowing otherwise independent blockchains to communicate with each other, share security features, and transfer assets freely amongst themselves. The DOT token is the native token of the Polkadot network. It serves a couple of vital roles in the system: It is designed to participate in governance decisions, including tabling proposals and voting. In addition, it is used as an electronic payment system. With its market capitalization currently standing at over $16.8 billion, the DOT token now surpasses that of XRP by over $4 billion and has attained the status of the third-largest cryptocurrency. Though the popularity of the DOT token has increased substantially over the past months, it is still not easy for non-technical users to buy and hold and interact with it. The DOT ETP lowers the barriers to entry for newcomers to the crypto asset industry and allows a much wider audience to be able to participate in its development. Story continues The launch comes in light of the recent surge in interest for this asset class. 21Shares AG has seen a 5-fold increase in demand across its suite of crypto ETPs since Q3 2020. This is based on the amount of new inflows into the ETPs. That demand came mainly from institutional investors who have preferred an institutional-grade ETP versus other structures currently available on the market. The DOT ETP will allow clients to invest, diversify through its various ETPs, and gain exposure to the multi-chain application environment that enables cross-chain interoperability on a level previously not possible via their traditional broker or bank. The ETP structure means that the product benefits from 100% physical collateralization. Each share is fully collateralized by the corresponding amount of physical DOT tokens. In addition, on exchange liquidity provision is assured by our existing ETP market markets who have supported us since inception back in November 2018. This allows even more conservative institutions to safely hold this asset class via an Exchange Traded Product.

After the recent market correction, prices for the cryptocurrency are still up 18% year to date, versus a 1.2% gain for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks. “Now is probably not the time to panic,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading at the cryptocurrency exchange firm Diginex, wrote in a daily newsletter. Intraditional markets, European shares fluctuated and U.S. stock futures were little changed as the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday prepared to vote on asecond impeachment of President Donald Trump. Gold strengthened 0.1% to $1,855 an ounce. Related:Bitcoin Miners, Developers Narrow Down How Taproot Will Be Activated Asbitcoinandetherretreat from recent highs, the strong performance of other cryptocurrencies shows that traders and investors may now be turning to alternative tokens, often referred to as “altcoins,” for returns. Bitcoin prices as of Jan. 11 stood at about 87% of their all-time high reached last week, and ether is about 78% of the way toward its all-time high from a few years ago, based on data compiled by CoinDesk Research. But other cryptocurrencies and digital assets, such asstellar(XLM) andlitecoin(LTC), are still far from setting new records. One takeaway might be that they might have further to run, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shenreported Tuesday. Altcoins are surging “in ways that we have not really seen since 2017,” Andrew Tu, an executive at quant firm Efficient Frontier, told Shen. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Claws Back to $36.4K While 25% of Ether Options Will Expire in March It’s possible, of course, that some entry-level investors viewing bitcoin’s $34,000-ish price – what a small sport-utility vehicle costs – are unaware that the largest cryptocurrency can be bought in minute fractions, similar to the way that it’s possible to buy $100 or $1,000 of gold. Such confusion in the past has led some newbie investors to turn to altcoins, because their prices are often comparatively lower, sometimes counted in cents. David Derhy, an analyst at the trading platform eToro, wrote earlier this week that some traders might shift toward ether, the base cryptocurrency for the Ethereum blockchain. “Investors in bitcoin may be looking to take some profits and reallocate, and ether could be a target,” he wrote. “A target of $2,500 is reasonable given the gains we have already seen and current price momentum.” Such a level would represent a gain of nearly 150% from the current price. Simplex, a digital-asset platform, has been seeing “increasing demand for cryptos across the board,” though “retail investors seem to be looking for the next BTC,” CEO Nimrod Lehavi, wrote in a Google doc, sent by a spokesman via Zoom’s chat function. “We are used to seeing BTC dominate around 90% of the total volumes of trade,” says Jonathan Leong, CEO ofBTSE, another crypto platform. “But the recent week or so has seen a rise in our institutional clientele’s demand and interest in altcoins, with the balance being almost 50-50 at certain times.” Bitpanda, an Austrian cryptocurrency platform, has seen bitcoin drop to between 30% and 40% of customer purchases this year, from 40% to 50% last year, according to a spokeswoman. “We have a big influx of users, and they are trading both bitcoin and altcoins,” the spokeswoman, Sara Moric, said in an email. – Muyao Shen and Bradley Keoun Read More:Multiple Tokens See Rally Amid Looming ‘Alt Season’ The near-term outlook for bitcoin has dimmed, analysts say, with some now seeing a possible extension of Monday’s major price drop. “There could be another dump as outflows from the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Pro have dried up alongside an increased transfer of coins onto exchanges,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer for Paris-based quantitative trading firm ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk. Outflows from Coinbase Pro –considered a proxyfor purchases of the cryptocurrency by big institutional investors, since the outflows are typically seen as transfers into cold storage for long-term holding – have receded sharply from the three-year high of 55,000 BTC observed Jan. 2. The decrease could signal a weakening in institutional demand, which played a pivotal role in pushing bitcoin last week to a new all-time high above $41,000, from about $10,000 just a few months ago. Meanwhile, exchange deposits have gathered pace, a sign that some investors may be looking to liquidate holdings and take profits. The number of coins held on exchanges increased by over 57,000 BTC on Tuesday, the biggest single-day change since March 2020, according to data from blockchain analytics firmChainalysis. Exchanges have registered an average inflow of 103,000 BTC per day in the past seven days – higher than the 180-day average of 83,700 BTC. Some analysts looking for clues in price-chart patterns are also calling for an extension of Monday’s drop. The Ichimoku cloud, a technical-analysis tool created by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda in the late 1960s, includes multiple lines that help identify support and resistance levels and other essential information such as trend direction and momentum.“ “I still see pressure on the downside in the short term,” said Patrick Heusser, head of trading at Swiss firm Crypto Finance AG, adding that $29,000 could be the make-or-break level. “Things could get ugly if that support is breached,” Heusser said. A price of $36,000 is the level to beat for the bulls. Chris Thomas, head of digital assets at Swissquote Bank, sees a period of price consolidation over the rest of this week, in the $33,000–$36,000 range. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Analysts Are Gloomy About Bitcoin’s Short-Term Price Outlook Right Now European Central Bank’s Lagarde calls bitcoin “speculative asset,” hopes for digital euro in no more than five years (CoinDesk) “Could the OCC even grant a national bank charter to open-source software that manages deposit-taking, lending, or payments, if it doesn’t have officers or directors?” writes Acting U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks in an op-ed. “Not yet.

I am telling you what NOT to buy. Show this to your friends who want to "get rich overnight." \n\nThere are quite a few users who have spilt over in to our subreddit from wallstreetbets and the dogecoin sub and god knows where else. After seeing this not only happen with a coin that was designed as a MEME and nothing more and then happening with XRP, I feel like there is an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed. \n\n[please read this thread](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kp6s43/inside_a_pumpanddump_group_the_deception_the_con/) on how a pump and dump group operates. If you don\'t have time, the TL;DR is - they buy tokens / coins anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours before the head of the group tells everyone to pump a coin. Then they dump their coins without telling you. They claim you get "insider" information if you give them 0.01 BTC or invite 30 people to the group. \n\n#Pay attention to these fundamentals: \n1. It doesn\'t actually matter if there is a cryptocurrency that is more efficient, more secure, faster, or better in general because.... \n2. You will not see people who mined bitcoin for nearly free in 2010, or bought it at 10 cents each, 1 dollar each, 10 dollars each, 100 dollars each, or 1000 dollars each dumping at 34,000 USD for a token that almost no one has heard of. Even if such a thing existed, you couldn\'t get everyone to agree on when / how to dump their bitcoin for "something better", this was tried with bitcoin cash and the market has spoken. \n3. Financial institutions aren\'t interested in anything except bitcoin right now (and are much less interested in something the SEC has legal issues with) because it functions as a hedge against inflation and it has verifiable scarcity. \n4. You need to pay attention to market capitalization (market cap for short) of a cryptocurrency. Go to coingecko.com. Check out the market cap of your "coin" and then compare it to bitcoin\'s marketcap. In order for it to surpass ethereum it needs to get 130 billion USD of fresh capital quickly. If it wants to get past bitcoin, it needs to get at least 600 billion USD of new capital. with that in mind... \n5. If your token is under 50 cents but it\'s in the top 100, do the math and figure out how / what it would need to get "past bitcoin". Just because it\'s "cheaper than bitcoin" doesn\'t mean everyone wants to buy it. \n\nHopefully this thread has been helpful. That is all. Thank you for reading.

The market could be strong, but fragile.”\nThe aforementioned dynamics of dealers’ risk exposure to direction and volatility causes violent crash dynamics to transpire.\nIn February 2020, one-sidedness in the market by yield-seeking participants like target date funds — such as mutual funds — selling far out-of-the money puts on the S&P 500 exacerbated volatility. So did customers looking to buy puts in an increasing fashion for downside exposure.\n“We’re in there buying puts, dealers are short puts and short stock,” Sidial said in a discussion on rising delta and volatility forcing dealers to sell into weakness to hedge.\n“As people reach for those downside puts on SPX, it now reflexively has another implication on increasing volatility. Well, all those people that are carrying short volatility exposure in their book are losing money.”\nIn all, a new regime with knock-on effects is forming solely due to positioning in the market.\nSource:Benzinga\nPictured: Newfound Researchunpacksmarket drivers, implications of liquidity.\nSee more from Benzinga\n• Click here for options trades from Benzinga\n• Metromile Taps Uber Veteran Ryan Graves For M, Guidance On Innovation\n• Fintech Focus For February 2, 2021\n© 2021 Benzinga.com.

Story continues While we aren’t going 100% usage-based overnight, looking at some of the megatrends in software — automation, AI and APIs — the value of a product normally doesn’t scale with more logins. Usage-based pricing will be the key to successful monetization in the future. Source: TechCrunch Interesting Reads: Acorns CEO talking micro- investing . AOC talks Capitol raid, eyes change.

Market Moving Headline: The dynamics that transpired in GameStop can be traced back to factors like Federal Reserve stabilization efforts and low rates, which incentivize risk taking. “The growth of structured products, passive investing, the regulatory standpoint that’s been implemented with Dodd-Frank and dealers needing to hedge off their risk more frequently than not” are all part of a regime change that’s affected the stability of markets, said Kris Sidial, co-chief investment officer of The Ambrus Group. “These dislocations happen quite frequently in small windows, and it offers the potential for large outlier events,” like the equity bust and boom of 2020, he said. “Strength and fragility are two completely different components. The market could be strong, but fragile.” The aforementioned dynamics of dealers’ risk exposure to direction and volatility causes violent crash dynamics to transpire. In February 2020, one-sidedness in the market by yield-seeking participants like target date funds — such as mutual funds — selling far out-of-the money puts on the S&P 500 exacerbated volatility. So did customers looking to buy puts in an increasing fashion for downside exposure. “We’re in there buying puts, dealers are short puts and short stock,” Sidial said in a discussion on rising delta and volatility forcing dealers to sell into weakness to hedge. “As people reach for those downside puts on SPX, it now reflexively has another implication on increasing volatility. Well, all those people that are carrying short volatility exposure in their book are losing money.” In all, a new regime with knock-on effects is forming solely due to positioning in the market.

So I am sitting here eating mi-goreng and thinking of how to end the misery that is XRP and Ripple.\n\nWhat is XRP?\n\n* XRP is not Ripple. XRP is a token, while Ripple is the company that develops solutions using XRP. XRP is used to transfer money over the Ripple network, either between individuals or banks.\n* Not all partners announced by Ripple use the XRP token. Only a few of the 300+ announced partners use XRP! [In fact, only 12 institutions are using or testing ](https://decrypt.co/5313/complete-ripple-partnerships-xrapid-xrp)Ripple products using XRP.\n* Unlike BTC, XRP token are not mined. Ripple has minted the entire supply of the token when the network was launched.\n* Ripple intermittently releases portions of the supply from escrow and sell on exchanges.\n\nWhy now?\n\n* Brad and his brokeback mountain cowboys have been illegally raising funds by releasing XRP from escrow (there is still 48B XRP in escrow ready to be dumped) since 2013. The SEC knows this and has been building a case against Ripple and its executives for years.\n* The Ripple leadership team DGAF about XRP holders. The SEC has evidence that multiple Ripple execs have instructed market makers to dump tokens to coincide with news releases. [Check out their shady shit here.](https://www.ft.com/content/25648f67-36bb-45f1-8e37-3dabd4c68e89)\n* Don’t listen to XRP moonbois saying that XRP is already treated as a currency by FinCen and DOJ. The SEC is responsible for regulating the securities markets and protecting investors. Once the SEC proves that XRP is a security, watch both the DOJ and FinCen flip their stance and pursue criminal charges. [Check out how the SEC will prove that XRP is a security by using the Howey test.](https://dailyhodl.com/2020/06/17/xrp-fails-howey-test-and-is-not-a-security-says-former-cftc-chairman-christopher-giancarlo/)\n* Don’t trust some random Redditor? Trust the SEC. The SEC rarely loses in court. And never one involving cryptocurrency security tokens.\n * Remember Enigma? The team settled with the SEC and are now a rank \\~150 coin (as Secret Token).\n * Remember Kin? The KIK team decided to fight the SEC and lost.\n * Both coins were in the [top 100](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180513/) and never recovered and are now barely hanging on.\n\nConclusion\n\n🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 See you on the moon with XRPDOWN.

Let me clarify one thing for you:\n\nCoins are digital assets that run on their own native Blockchain. Examples of this are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano and Polkadot.\n\nTokens are digital assets that are built on top of a Blockchain. For example, LINK is an ERC-20 token build on top off Ethereum.\n\nShares represent an ownership of a company. If Apple has 100 shares, and you own 1 share of those 100, you own 1% of Apple which makes you entitled to 1% of their Intellectual Property, Cash Reserves, Real Estate, etc.\n\nIf you have a partial ownership of Apple, you have shares. If you have 200 LINK, then you simply have 200 tokens of LINK (a.k.a Stinkies) which does not entitle you to Chainlink\'s profit nor Sergey\'s burger trips.\n\nI also hope if you are new that you are playing with.. well, play money.

The British pound held steady against the dollar and traded near an eight-month high versus the euro ahead of a Bank of England policy meeting that will publish findings on the feasibility of negative interest rates. Sentiment for the dollar has improved recently as progress in coronavirus vaccinations, moves by U.S. President Joe Biden to pass more fiscal stimulus, and improving economic data forced some bearish investors to give up their short positions. The dollar faces another test on Friday with the release of non-farm payrolls data, which will help confirm whether the world\'s largest economy has shrugged off a dip in growth toward the end of last year. "The dollar\'s recovery was triggered by a rebound in yields and an increase in inflation expectations," said Junichi Ishikawa, senior foreign exchange strategist at IG Securities. "This is supporting the dollar, which now has more room to rise against the euro, because the euro zone looks like it is lagging behind U.S. economic growth."

While steering clear of the first major support level at $30,927, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Finding late morning support, Bitcoin rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $38,710.7 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $34,809 and the second major resistance level at $36,246. More significantly, Bitcoin also broke back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. The reversal, however, saw Bitcoin slide back through the major resistance levels to revisit sub-$34,000 levels. Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB, Bitcoin moved back through to $34,000 levels to deliver the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $38,710.7 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $41,707. Failure to move through the $34,984 pivot would bring 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $31,256 into play.

That\'s more Bitcoin than I wanted to buy, more fiat than I wanted to spend, and it brings the base price of the bitcoin from $11,603, to $12,009, a far larger number. \n\nI would have no problem with this if they were upfront about the fees and what they are doing, but now I have sour taste in my mouth. I\'ve been into crypto for a little while. Can you imagine how predatory this would seem to a new user who\'s going through their first buy?\n\nThis is my first post, so I hope I did it properly.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jjdtja/warning_buying_bitcoin_through_trustwallet/', 'jjdtja', [['u/cgan14344', 10, '2020-10-28 03:21', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jjdtja/warning_buying_bitcoin_through_trustwallet/gacahav/', 'You understand that Trustwallet is double dipping right?

I do it because I am encouraged to do so (by you nice folks) and I like to share what I learned so far. Feel free to ask me anything you like. \n\n\n[My first post - a 1 year in reflection + FIRE story](https://old.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/comments/b2bfko/fire_1_year_in_a_few_reflections/)\n\n[And my 2 year follow up here]( https://old.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/comments/etgc2q/fire_2_years_in_a_few_more_reflections/)\n\nI’m a patient person, a future-oriented person, and these characteristics helped me to persist in the long-term planning I did when I was working towards FI/RE. It helped me hold on to my investment in crypto as it soared (Stick to your plan, man: I took some profits, which is how I jumped the queue to FIRE earlier than expected and with more than I needed, though I was heavy on the FI/RE path before that). \n\nI am also a semi-rational person (I think), who has played out a number of scenarios in my head many times. In fact – I had to do that to feel confident to retire in the first place. What if ____ (fill in catastrophic thing) happens?… each time I figured out how I would survive and most of the survival plans fell out to: keep cool and sit tight (a couple of them included “and go back to work.”) Considering how the stock market and economy in general are cyclical, I had gone through the “what do you do when there is a crash and your net worth drops significantly?” (note the crash part is not “if”, but “when”). The answer, as previously mentioned, was “sit on the porch and watch your sunflowers grow.” \n\nThere was a conversation in (I think) one of my posts last year where after the market had dropped a small amount I mentioned I had just chilled through it (while others flipped out and panic-sold and were then kicking themselves) and someone on here snarkily replied “well, wait until you see a REAL drop, then we will see what you do!” \n\nWell Snarko VonSnarkington, this post is for you. \n\nAs you might recall, the month of March was brutal, with many days showing huge losses in the stock markets. Not only did the market drop precipitously but my historically uncorrelated asset bitcoin shit the bed as well (a universal rush to cash?) leaving me just over $1M poorer net-worth-wise. \n\nMy portfolio consists of real estate (my old house that I now rent out), index funds, and bitcoin. I outright own my current house (sold my bond funds to buy the house) and a piece of shit truck that I love. I also own a cat free and clear. \n\nSo what did I do as my portfolio took a double barreled shotgun to the face?!?!? Not a goddamn thing. Ok, that’s a lie. I loss-harvested 90k worth of index funds which have since recovered and then some. I held tight. I held strong. I built shelves for my workshop out of salvaged lumber. \n\nPsychologically I have to say I felt off – it was not fun, and it was not Zen (though I tried brother, I tried). I had to argue with myself “well, this is one of those situations that test your mettle, meboyo…” and “wow, how is this going to play out… nervous… yuck…” but even though I experienced emotions, there was never even the option in my mind to sell in order to protect capital. It never appealed to me as a wise option and I had no compulsion to do so. For years I have made an informed decision to commit to this strategy I believe in, and damnit I am going to stick by it. I own my house. I know how to cook. I have health insurance and a rainy-day fund. I am retired, by design, because I stick to the plan until it no longer makes any sense – and...

Today's Key News: ['The major Asia-Pacific stock indexes were lower across the board on Thursday with China bucking the trend to move modestly higher. The weakness in the East wasn’t nearly as bad as the routs in the United States and Europe the previous sessions, as Asia’s brighter economic outlook offset investor worries about fresh COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe.

Bank of Japan Trims Growth, Price Forecasts; Keeps Policy Steady The Bank of Japan on Thursday trimmed its economic and price forecasts for the current fiscal year ending in March 2021, heightening expectations it will maintain its massive stimulus for a time being to cushion the blow from COVID-19. As widely expected, the central bank kept monetary policy steady, including a -0.1% target for short-term interest rates and a pledge to guide long-term rates around 0%. It also made no changes to a package of measures to ease corporate funding strains caused by the coronavirus pandemic. BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is expected to hold a news conference to explain the policy decision and the new forecasts, which were produced as part of the BOJ’s quarterly report on the economic and price outlook. Samsung Predicts Fourth-Quarter Decline in Profits Due to Weak Demand and Growing Competition Shares in South Korea were among the biggest losers regionally, as the KOSPI Index fell as much as 1.69% before settling 0.79% lower. Shares of industry heavyweight Samsung Electronics declined around 2% after the firm on Thursday predicted a fourth-quarter decline in profits. Samsung Electronics on Thursday said it expects a decline in profit in the three months that will end on December 31 due to weak memory chip demand and intense competition in the smartphone and consumer electronics spaces. Story continues Samsung announced a 59% year-on-year jump in operating profit to 12.35 trillion Korean won (about $10.89 billion) for the July-September quarter, which was in line with earlier guidance. “Looking ahead, Samsung Electronics expects profit to decline in the fourth quarter amid weakening memory chip demand from server customers and intensifying competition in mobile phones and consumer electronics,” the company said in a statement. Sony Shares Pop on Strong Outlook Shares of Sony surged in Tokyo on Thursday, a day after the Japanese electronics giant raised its annual profit forecast. Sony shares in Japan were up 6.69% on Thursday even though Japan’s border index, the Nikkei 225, fell 0.37% on the day., On Wednesday, Sony raised its forecast for its annual operating income by 13% to 700 billion yen (approximately $6.7 billion).

The Blockchain-Based Service Network (BSN), a standardized internet services provider for decentralized applications (dapp) developers, plans to make 24 public chains available in its network for Chinese users starting from the second half of November, according to an internal memo obtained by CoinDesk. Developers can use the technical frameworks behind these public chains to build and run dapps that serve a range of purposes such as financing platforms for small and medium enterprises, source tracking for food companies and record-keeping for banks, law firms or government agencies. Related:US Charges 3 With Vast 'Crypto Jacking' Computer Fraud Scheme These public chains will look quite different after being “localized” for the Chinese market, however. The network will make the decentralized public chains permissioned and replace their tokens with direct payment by the Chinese currency renminbi to cover transaction fees on these chains. This is part of a much larger story. The Chinese government is an active supporter of blockchain technology – but only on its own terms. Authorities would like to reap the benefits of blockchain tech’s traceability and efficiency, but without the decentralization embraced by public chains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. BSN’s latest move came one month after the network integratedsix major public chainsinto the global version of its network. This was so that developers outside China could use a standardized development environment to build and run decentralized applications on these public chains. Unlike in the localized version, public decentralized chains are allowed in the global version of BSN. “There have been few effective ways for public chains to enter the Chinese market and scale up due to legal and regulatory requirements and how these projects position themselves,” the memo, translated by Coindesk from the original Chinese, said of this latest development.

To make public decentralized chains, such as Ethereum, permissioned, BSN will only allow its designated operators to build and operate nodes, where dapps verify on-chain transactions and store data. The network will block all peer-to-peer fee transactions and require its users to use renminbi instead of Ethereum “gas” to cover fees for building and running dapps on chain. “BSN has made it technically impossible to do any virtual currency transactions on the public chains,” the memo said. “BSN strictly follows related laws and regulations and will remove any chain that violates them from the network.” BSN aims to complete all 24 public chains’ integration with the domestic version of the network during the first quarter of 2021 and enable these chains to share data with each other in the first half of the same year. The networkhas formed Public Permissioned Blockchain, a consortium to govern the services on adapted public chains. Huobi Group, as the only named member of the consortium in the memo, will be in charge of transaction settlement and clearing, marketing for the new services and operating the official portal. An unnamed cloud services provider will offer the adapted public chains data storage and other basic internet resources. One of BSN’s backers is Chinese tech conglomerate China Mobile, which has an extensive network of data centers across the country. BSN has also worked with the Chinese branch of Amazon Web Service to provide Internet services for dapps. BSN is backed by the State Information Center of China, a think tank under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the highest economic planning agency. BSN will be responsible for compliance with Chinese regulators and adapting the public chains’ technical framework into the network. While the memo does not disclose any names of these 24 public chains, BSN has already integrated major international projects including Tezos, Ethereum and Cosmos’ IrisNet. “The 24 public chains are highly reputable in the global blockchain community, however, we will not use their original names when they go live on BSN,” the memo said. The chains will be renamed based on 24 Chinese solar terms, a traditional agricultural calendar that informs farmers of seasonal changes. For example, one of the 24 solar terms is First Frost, which indicates the weather is getting colder and water droplets are starting to freeze. Insect Awakening means it is getting warmer and insects that hibernate underground are about to wake up and go outside. Public decentralized blockchains have been underheavy scrutinyfrom the Chinese government since 2017, when China cracked down on initial coin offerings and local exchanges. ICO projects werehard to supervisebecause of their decentralized nature, and authorities feared that wild token speculation could undermine China’sfinancial stability. The tokens from public chain projects are a threat to China’s long-standingcapital controland monetary sovereignty of the Chinese currency. For example,tether, an Ethereum-based token pegged to the U.S. dollar, has become one of the most popular ways forcross-border transactionsbetween Asia and the rest of the world. Authorities may also fear tokens could threaten the use of the renminbi and that would jeopardize monetary policies relying on the control of supply and demand of the Chinese currency. Read more:China’s Blockchain Infrastructure to Extend Global Reach With Six Public Chains In part to pre-empt the rise of tokens such asbitcoin, the Chinese central bank invented its ownnational virtual currency, Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) or the digital yuan. Another reason why China is critical of public decentralized chain projects is the potential for scams, such as Ponzi and pump-and-dump schemes offered as initial coin offerings (ICO) thatmushroomedduring and after the 2017 ICO boom. In September 2017, the Chinese central bank made any centralized ICO fundraising illegal. The People’s Bank of China also carried out a slew ofcrackdownson centralized crypto exchanges and fiat-crypto trading, and prohibited any Chinese bank from processing crypto-related transactions. AntChain, a permissioned enterprise blockchain developed by Ant Financial, a subsidiary of Chinese tech giant Alibaba, has been one of the inspirations for BSN to launch the Public Permissioned Blockchain consortium, according to the memo. “It was a milestone when the company launched Ant Blockchain Open Alliance, a consortium that governs its blockchain-based platform lowering the cost for small and medium enterprises to use blockchain technology,” the memo said. “Technically speaking, it is a public permissioned chain with a few authorized nodes.” Read more:China’s Blockchain Infrastructure Launches Website for Global Devs One of the main missions for Ant Financial is to provide small and medium enterprises with a more accessible financing platform based on its public permissioned blockchain technology. The company could also leverage the large client base of Alibaba’s other subsidiaries, such as Ali Cloud for internet and data services and the digital payment company Ant Financial for any financial transactions in its app. Ant Financial claims its users had been uploading an average of$100 millionin digital assets, including copyright and property ownership certificates as well as transaction records, to its blockchain in July. Chinese shipping giant Cosco said it wastrialingAntChain for tamper-free documentation including container records and import licenses. The company aims togo publicon the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges at a valuation of $200 billion. If the deal follows through, it will be arguably the largest company that operates its own enterprise blockchain. • China’s BSN to ‘Localize’ 24 Public Blockchains by Making Them Permissioned • China’s BSN to ‘Localize’ 24 Public Blockchains by Making Them Permissioned... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Samson1978', 'What makes you so sure about bitcoin price going up?', 10, '2020-10-30 00:36', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jklkhd/what_makes_you_so_sure_about_bitcoin_price_going/', 'Serious question.

It\'s like ban a tech industry: other countries will take advantage of it and you ultimately lose out. \n\nNow, that obviously doesn\'t mean that governments won\'t try to control it in other ways (I\'m very sure they\'ll try), but straight bans I don\'t see, at least not by 1st world governments. \n\n> Why wouldnt it just fizzle out or another coin take over? \n\nIt\'s been 12 years of competition with other coins... This argument is getting old, very literally. Sure, there are no guarantees regarding the future, but it just doesn\'t seem likely at all. Cryptography/cryptocurrencies involve trade offs, and bitcoin makes some hard trade offs in usability, speed, costliness etc, but it\'s not like those are simple things to solve without making other trade offs. \n\nA kinda silly but perhaps effective analogy: a tank is slow, clunky tech with limited usecases. But it has very special advantages. If you need it quick and cheap and easy, a tank is probably not the best solution; you probably would prefer a bicycle or a regular car. But if you need it secure, unstoppable and safe, you have to live with the trade offs a tank has to make by its design. It won\'t be quick or easy like a car, but if you want to go into a battle or an adversarial scenario, you surely don\'t want to be driving a car... Or a bicycle. \n\nedit: here\'s an excellent list of resources with posts/articles on the fundamental trade offs bitcoin makes and why those trade offs are important for the security/decentralization of the network: https://gist.github.com/chris-belcher/a8155df5051bb3e3aa96', 'jklkhd']]], ['u/jtoomim', 'BCHN MR !746 merged: Faster transaction relay', 109, '2020-10-30 02:58', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/jknz9k/bchn_mr_746_merged_faster_transaction_relay/', "[MR 746](https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/merge_requests/746\n) is a relatively simple code change, but it has important implications for BCH's UX and scalability.\n\ntl;dr: BCHN will now by default relay transactions 10x faster than before. This will make BCHN's transaction relay much faster than ABC, though not as fast as BU. On the flip side, BCHN will require more bandwidth than ABC at low transaction throughput rates, but less than BU. BCHN has also added the `-txbroadcastinterval` command-line option to allow node operators to configure this behavior more precisely.\n\n# Background on `inv` message batching\n\nThe inv messages for transactions are responsible for the vast majority of a node's total network traffic, since inv messages are sent per peer regardless of whether that peer needs the transaction or not. If a node is sending one inv per tx per peer, and the node has 50 peers, that results in about `120 bytes/tx/peer * 50 peers = 6000 bytes` of network traffic per transaction, or roughly 6x as much traffic as is required for receiving and sending the transaction itself (assuming a typical 500 byte transaction). In this scenario, about 2/3 of the traffic is actually protocol overhead -- mostly TCP/IP overhead, but also bitcoin p2p protocol overhead. This overhead can be mitigated with batching. Using IPv4, inv messages take up about `80 + 40n` bytes per message, where n is the number of transaction hashes being sent. This means that batching behavior can reduce the average traffic per peer per tx from around 120 bytes (for a batch size of 1) to around 44 bytes (for a batch size of 10). The way to achieve large batch sizes is to have a wait time before sending each tx inv to allow extra txs to be ready in each transmission. A batch size of 10 can be achieved with 20 tx/sec and an average wait time of 2 sec, for example.\n\nIf the wait time is mismatched with the transaction throughput rate, it can result in an increase in transaction propagation time without any substantial improvement in bandwidth efficiency. For example, the transaction throughput rate is currently about 0.25 tx/sec. If the wait time is 1 sec, then the typical`inv` message will contain only 1 tx hash. If the wait time is increased to 2 sec, then the typical `inv` message will still contain only 1 tx hash. That extra second of delay would make a difference in batch size if the transaction throughput rate were 1 tx/sec, but it makes almost no difference at 0.25 tx/sec.\n\nOn the other hand, delays like this will significantly slow down transaction propagation, and will adversely affect UX. A delay of 2 seconds per connection with 20 connections means that a node will broadcast an inv to one peer every 100 ms on average. This delay, coupled with the natural network ping times of ~100 ms, and the 1.5 round-trip time (RTT) communication needed to send a tx, means that the number of nodes who have a transaction will double roughly every (100 ms + 150 ms) = 250 ms if all network nodes used a 2 second delay with 20 peers. If the network is comprised of 8192 nodes, it would take around 3.25 seconds for a transaction to propagate through the full netowrk. This worsens BCH's UX by making transactions feel slower in 0-conf mode, and gives a much larger time window for double-spends than is desirable. Shorter delays before broadcasting `inv` messages mean a better experience for BCH users, and slightly better 0-conf security.\n\n# Changes in !746\n\nWith !746, BCHN makes two major changes:\n\n1. The default behavior for BCHN will be to wait an average of 500 ms between `inv` broadcasts, rather than 5000 ms. Furthermore, this value can be configured at the command-line with the `-txbroadcastinterval=<ms>` command-line option. Lower values (shorter delays) can accelerate transaction propagation; higher values (longer delays) can reduce upstream traffic for your node and downstream traffic for your node's peers. As before, this value halved for outgoing connections: with the default value of `-txbroadcastinterval=500`, BCHN will make on average one batched broadcast every 500 ms on incoming connections, and one every 250 ms on outgoing connections.\n\n2. BCHN also adds a new option to configure the maximum throughput for `inv` announcement messages: `-txbroadcastrate=<tx/sec/MB>`. The default value for this option is the same as before: for each 1 MB of the block size limit, BCHN will allow 7 tx/sec on incoming connections (14 tx/sec/MB on outgoing connections). The default setting of 7 allows for up to `7 tx/sec/MB * 32 MB = 224 tx/sec` of announcement throughput on incoming connections, or 448 tx/sec on outgoing connections. This allows a maximum-sized block (e.g. 32 MB) to be filled with 238-byte average sized transactions in 600 seconds via an incoming connection, or 300 seconds via an outgoing connection. Larger transaction sizes will result in less time being needed to reliably fill blocks. Most users will not need to touch this setting, as the default value is reasonable for most use cases. This limit provides protection against spam attacks while still allowing normal network operation to reliably fill blocks. However, modifying this setting can be useful in some circumstances, such as during stress tests, or for severely bandwidth-constrained applications. Users who are doing stress testing may wish to set this value very high in order to delimit tx broadcasting (e.g. `-txbroadcastrate=9999999`). Users with non-Starlink-based satellite internet (e.g. slow upstream, fast downstream) may wish to experiment with setting this to zero (i.e. `-txbroadcastrate=0`) to avoid relaying transactions, as an alternative to `-blocksonly` mode.\n\n# Comparison to other nodes\n\nBitcoin ABC and [Bitcoin Core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net_processing.cpp#L126) use an average delay of 5 seconds between broadcasts, which makes batching start at around 0.2 tx/sec. [Bitcoin Unlimited](https://gitlab.com/bitcoinunlimited/BCHUnlimited/-/blob/dev/src/net.cpp#L2579) uses a delay of about 10 ms, so BU's batching begins at around 100 tx/sec. BCHN will now default to using a delay of about 500 ms, or b...

Nationally, thejobless rate is at 7.9%.\nTrump has a54% chance of taking Iowa, while Biden has a90% chance of getting a win in Nevada, according to FiveThirtyEight. But just because a state is doing better economically doesn’t mean it’s favored for Trump. The results are all over the broad. Nate Silver’s poll aggregator gives Trump the edge in two battleground states with higher jobless rates, Ohio (8.4%) and Texas (8.3%). While some states with lower jobless rates, in particular, Wisconsin (5.4%) and Minnesota (6.0%),are currently projected to go for Biden.\nHow did these economies get so divided?\nA lot of it boils down to what types of jobs make up the state’s economy. Look no further than tourism-heavy Nevada which saw its jobless rate soar from 3.8% in February to a staggering 30.1% in April. While Nevada has since improved to a 12.6% jobless rate, it will struggle to fully recover until Las Vegas tourism business has returned to normal—something that is unlikely to happen until the pandemic is under control.\nThe economies in industrial Midwestern states were hard hit in the spring when factories saw their production lines halt. They’ve yet to fully dig themselves out of the mess. The unemployment rates in Ohio (8.4%), Pennsylvania (8.1%), and Michigan (8.5%) are all above the national 7.9% figure. FiveThirtyEight gives Trump a55%chance of carrying Ohio, but in Pennsylvania and Michigan that chance is just14%and4%, respectively.\nThe recovery is much more swift in rural Midwestern states with heavy agricultural economies—which have rebounded relatively quickly. The jobless rate in Minnesota surged from 3.1% in February to 9.9% in May at the height of shutdowns. But as the state reopened its economy over the summer, it fell to 6.0% as of September. But that recovery is hardly aiding Trump in the polls: Biden has a93% chance of carrying Minnesota.\nAnd it isn’t just battleground states. The highest jobless rates can be found in Hawaii (15.1%), Nevada (12.6%), and California (11%). The lowest are in Nebraska (3.5%), South Dakota (4.1%), and Vermont (4.2%).\nIt might take years for these high unemployment economies to fully rebound. Overall U.S. employment rose by 661,000 in September, bringing the total number of jobs added since May to 11.4 million,according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics‘ Friday jobs report. But that marks a downshift from the 1.5 million jobs added in August and 1.8 million added in July. If the U.S. continued to add 661,000 jobs per month, it would take 16 months to reach pre-pandemic employment levels.\n• Chobani and PayPal are paying workers more—and rethinking capitalism\n• When it comes to climate change, says Mark Carney,this financial crisis is different—and maybe better\n• Ray Dalio on whyChinese capitalism is on the rise—and why American capitalism is in desperate need of a fix\n• Microsoft’s cloudcould be a bit foggy for the next quarter\n• Coinbase launchescrypto debit cardin U.S. with 1% Bitcoin reward\nThis story was originally featured onFortune.com', 'Our mission to help you navigate the new normal is fueled by subscribers.

As alleged in a criminal complaint unsealed Monday , former fugitive Randy Craig Levine and disbarred attorney Philip Reichenthal never bought their two high-rolling investors any bitcoin despite promising to do so. One victim, an unnamed “purported cryptocurrency escrow firm,” wired Levine $3 million to fund an over-the-counter desk’s bitcoin buy, according to prosecutors, who said the second victim, a Florida bitcoin investor, wired Levine $2 million. Levine allegedly told the victims their funds were moved into an “escrow” service and then stopped responding to the victims’ questions. But Levine’s escrow was actually Reichenthal’s money-laundering front, prosecutors allege. They claim Reichenthal wired millions to Russian, Mexican and Guatemalan bank accounts controlled by Levine aliases. Levine and Reichenthal allegedly pocketed the money, giving their victims no refunds or bitcoin. The pair face allegations of wire fraud, money laundering and commodities fraud in New York federal district court. Levine is currently awaiting extradition from Austria; he’s been on the run from U.S. authorities since 2005. Reichenthal was disbarred last October in a Florida court.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $14,055. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $14,100 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $14,400 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $14,386. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $13,756 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,457 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$13,400 levels. The second major support level sits at $13,126.

Bush in 2000 to lose the popular vote and take the White House. It\x92s a given that he\x92ll come up short in the national count this time, too. The outcome hinges on Trump\x92s ability to keep that deficit narrow enough to secure a second victory in the electoral college. In 2016, Trump prevailed with a relatively low number of total ballots, because third-party candidates amassed a far higher proportion than in most elections, and Trump got the maximum mileage imaginable from his haul by edging Hillary Clinton by less than a point in no fewer than three electoral vote-rich states, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. To win reelection, Trump needs to immensely boost his performance in the popular vote. Paul Krishnamurty, a professional political gambler and elections expert for the U.K. betting site Betfair\x96\x96the venue has booked $260 million on the election so far and expects that number to double in the days to come\x96\x96reckons that Trump must raise his 2016 count of 63 million by roughly 11 million, or 17%, to stand a decent chance. That\x92s the net increase required, meaning as of today, Trump must squeeze enough new votes from his white, blue-collar, non\x96college-educated base and groups newly leaning his way to make up for his losses among seniors, independents, and disgruntled Republicans, and still add 10-plus million to his 2016 total. Trump can get part of the way by rallying his hard core of white working-class voters and notching gains with Latinos impressed by his handling of the economy and tough stance on Cuba. \x93He seems to think he can get millions of working-class folks who weren\x92t enthused enough to vote for him the last time, to vote for him this time,\x94 says Krishnamurty. \x93Some of them will, but it won\x92t be nearly enough.\x94 Adds University of Florida professor Michael McDonald, who heads the United States Elections Project, an excellent source for voter turnout data: \x93Trump\x92s main strategy is attempting to make Biden appear unlikable, like Hillary Clinton. But that messaging is not getting through.\x94 Trump can only win by somehow broadening his appeal in the last days of the campaign. He\x92d need to bring home millions of the graying Americans appalled by his management of the COVID crisis, and dampen the suburbanites\x92 surging enthusiasm for Biden. It\x92s unclear that claiming the former VP would undermine Social Security and Medicare, or his law and order message pledging to protect homeowners by quelling violence in the cities, get him anywhere near the giant gains in the popular vote needed for victory.

Make your own infographs. Make your own posts appreciative of the side you are truly with. Don't immediately call out someone with a shady past to be someone who will destroy BCH.\n\nOr else you guys might as well focus on Roger Ver because he got jailed and voted for BTC.\n\nThe distrust is good, but showing off as pointing accusing fingers?

For example, I remember when Josh Ellithorpe helped me on the LocalBitcoinCash's login bug. Or when Corbin Fraser helped me on the LocalBitcoinCash's css. These happened 3 years ago. I would not be surprised if others remember George's Dash history as well. I also remember things like when Jonathan Toomim went around hospitals donating medical supplies and helped answer my mining questions. These observations helped me understand people slightly better and when people problems happened, I rely on these memories to make decisions. In fact, it was Marc who alerted me well in advance about Amaury. I remember the whole conversation and which restaurant it took place at. The problem is, I act based on evidence and not claims so while I remember Marc's warning, I didn't act on it (unfortunately). In hindsight, it is easy to see that Marc was absolutely correct about Amaury.\n\nAnd yes, I think people are right to remain cautious of George (due to his Dash history) and it is up to George's actions to prove others wrong.

For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $6,400 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Sunday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.33%) and Litecoin (-0.23%) joined Bitcoin in the red, with Binance Coin ending the day flat. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA led the way, rallying by 5.49%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.15%), Chainlink (+3.28%), Crypto.com Coin (+1.06%), and Ethereum (+2.63%) also found strong support. Polkadot (+0.99%) and Ripple’s XRP (+0.14%) trailed the front runners, however. For the week, it was a bearish week for the majors. Crypto.com Coin led the way down, sliding by 13.55%. Bitcoin Cash SV (-9.18%), Cardano’s ADA (-7.67%), and Polkadot (-7.53%) also saw heavy losses. Binance Coin (-5.41%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.35%), Chainlink (-4.55%), Ethereum (-2.32%), Litecoin (-5.49%), and Ripple’s XRP (-5.21%) saw relatively modest losses in the week.

A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $13,836.0 before falling to a low $13,700.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day with Crypto.com Coin falling by 1.99% to buck the trend. It was a relatively bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 1.42% to lead the way.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $13,836.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $14,000 would likely cap any upside.

Difficult wallet UX shouldn't determine who benefits from bitcoin. Her plan is to investigate these problems and publish recommendations to make onboarding more user-friendly. \x97 Square Crypto (@sqcrypto) October 30, 2020 Square also shared Valentine\x92s first detailed proposal on social media, where she questions how to create an \x93intuitive experience for non-crypto users while preserving the security of a user\x92s funds.\x94 Why It Matters: The announcement of the grant comes a month after Square announced a million investment in Bitcoin. The Jack Dorsey-led company\xa0had called cryptocurrency \x93an instrument of economic empowerment\x94 and \x93a way to participate in a global monetary system\x94 which it said is aligned with Square\x92s purpose.

Cryptocurrency analysts looked for solace in bitcoin ‘s October-to-date return, still at an impressive 22%, during a month when the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of U.S. stocks has declined by 2.7%. “The sell-off in equities and gold due to rising COVID infections and restrictive lockdowns had only a limited impact on the digital asset,” Lennard Neo, head of research for the cryptocurrency-focused firm Stack Funds, wrote Thursday in a report . Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Hits $13.6K; 500K ETH Options Pile Up for December In traditional markets , European stocks rose as traders awaited a decision from the European Central Bank, headed by President Christine Lagarde, on whether further monetary support is needed amid a resurgence in coronavirus cases. U.S. equity futures pointed toward a higher open, as a key government report showed that the world’s largest economy grew at a 33% pace in the third quarter – a somewhat context-less data point that’s likely to do little beyond serving as an easy talking point for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign . Market moves Just as bitcoin bulls were starting to salivate over the cryptocurrency’s powerful rally over the past week toward $14,000, a sell-off in traditional markets has dragged prices back down. Investors globally were rattled by reports of a resurgence in coronavirus cases. German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the country would implement tough new business restrictions , and French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to impose a national lockdown. Related: Mirage Recovery: What ‘Record’ GDP Growth Tells Us About the Economy Such restrictions could crimp economic growth, theoretically a deflationary development, which could reduce demand for bitcoin in the short term as a hedge against higher consumer prices. There’s also the possibility that some investors, seeing further turmoil ahead, decided to bulk up on cash. One of the easiest things to sell is bitcoin, which is still up 84% year-to-date, even after Wednesday’s sell-off. Story continues “It seems the pressure was too much,” Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign-exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantum Economics, told clients Wednesday. As detailed in First Mover on Wednesday, analysts relying on price-chart patterns have identified few points of resistance along bitcoin’s path from the hitherto rarely breached $14,000 psychological level to the all-time-high around $20,000, reached in 2017. According to Greenspan, “$14,000 is a huge psychological barrier, and I would be delightedly flabbergasted if we were able to pass through it without first seeing a significant pullback.” And as reported Thursday by CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole , bitcoin options traders are assigning a low probability that the cryptocurrency will end 2020 above $20,000. The implied chances of prices above that level currently stand around 6%, according to the cryptocurrency data firm Skew. “A below-10% probability of record highs by the year end means the market is unconcerned with that outcome,” Vishal Shah, an options trader and founder of Polychain Capital-backed derivatives exchange Alpha5 told Godbole in a Telegram chat. Despite the sincerest wishes of bitcoin bulls, it would take a rally of more than 60% in the next eight weeks for prices to set a new record. It wouldn’t be unprecedented: There have been eight times in the 11-year old cryptocurrency’s recorded history where prices have rallied more than 50% or more in a two-month span. It could be that traders are just being realistic. “The options market is seemingly not getting carried away with the recent strong price momentum,” Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks, said in a statement to CoinDesk. “If we extrapolate bitcoin’s price action and volatility of the past 90 days till December expiry, then bitcoin appears set to end the year between $14,000 to $15,000.” Read More: Bitcoin’s Options Market Sees Just 6% Chance of $20K Before Year’s End Bitcoin watch Bitcoin’s price rally has paused, with the top cryptocurrency by market value near $13,100, having reached 16-month highs above $13,800 during Wednesday’s Asian trading hours. Investors are rotating money out of stocks and into safe havens like the U.S. dollar and Treasurys on concerns that Germany and France’s new lockdown restrictions would torpedo Eurozone’s fragile economic recovery. Not just bitcoin, but almost every asset denominated in U.S. dollars has taken a beating in the past 24 hours or so. Markets saw similar but more violent action in March when recession fears triggered a global dash for cash. Should the virus figures continue to rise, risk aversion will likely intensify, fueling a more profound decline in the cryptocurrency. However, it’s possible investors could buy the dips, with rising institutional adoption boosting the cryptocurrency’s long-term prospects. Besides, stock markets will likely stabilize, helping bitcoin regain poise if the ECB announces more monetary stimulus later Thursday. While the central bank is expected to maintain the status quo, it could lay the groundwork for additional stimulus in December. Earlier this month, Goldman Sachs said the central bank could boost its pandemic bond-buying program by 400 billion euros ($470 billion) in December to counter deflationary pressures. From a technical analysis standpoint, the immediate bias will remain bullish as long as prices are held above $12,500. On the higher side, the June 2019 high of $13,880 is the level to beat for the bulls. – Omkar Godbole Token watch Bitcoin ( BTC ): Winklevosses’ Gemini cryptocurrency exchange allows purchasing and trading with euros .

Today's Key News: ['PayPal Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ: PYPL ) CEO Daniel Schulman said at the company’s third-quarter earnings call Monday that its\xa0cryptocurrency foray\xa0is "just the beginning of the opportunities." What Happened: Schulman said PayPal\xa0is creating “one of the most compelling and expansive” digital wallets in the world — terming\xa0digital wallets as a “natural complement to all forms of digital currencies.” The executive said that the digitization of the global economy along with the rise of the digital wallet will drive PayPal’s growth over the next decade. The Peter Thiel-co-founded company also plans to\xa0allow consumers to use cryptocurrencies as a “funding instrument” to shop across 28 million merchants on the platform. “This solution will not involve any additional integrations, volatility risk, or incremental transaction fees for either consumers or merchants and will fundamentally bolster the utility of cryptocurrencies,” said Schulman. Schulman said it was just the “beginning of the opportunities” as the company will strive to work “hand in hand with regulators to accept new forms of digital currencies.” The executive said that while the use of cash continues to decline, central banks around the world are exploring or trialing new forms of retail digital currencies. “These trends create an opportunity for us to work with central banks and regulators to shape a modern and inclusive financial system,” said Schulman. Why It Matters: PayPal will add cryptocurrency services to its Venmo app by the first half of 2021 and also allow international users to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency by the same time period. While some have welcomed PayPal’s foray into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, others have questioned the limited nature of the services it will provide. The San Jose, California-based financial giant is said to be in talks to acquire digital asset custodian BitGo, according to Bloomberg. Story continues PayPal’s third-quarter earnings per share rose 75.41% year-on-year to $1.07 beating estimate of $0.94. Price Action: PayPal shares traded almost 5.7% lower at $177 in the after-hours session on Monday after closing 0.9% higher at $187.76.

In the U.K., fake reviews potentially influence $29.3 billion of customer spending annually.\n“A trust infrastructure must be decentralized and can be tokenized to incentivize the creation of trust and good outcomes,” says Eisen. “In ecommerce, trust unleashes frictionless transactions. Unfortunately, peoples\' data and personal information are taken, their privacy violated\xa0and reputation sold to bidders. Thus, the current approach to digital trust is wrongly conceived, poorly implemented\xa0and subject to rampant abuse and manipulation.”\nLoyalty programs are important mechanisms that help customers choose brands. Modern loyalty incentives were popularized by U.S. airlines in the 1980s with frequent-flyer miles. Since then, various iterations permeate across hyper-competitive, consumer-facing industries — particularly in credit cards, financial services, retail, hotels, entertainment, electronic goods\xa0and groceries. Companies award perks, points, discounts and free goods in exchange for customers’ repeat purchases which, in turn, enhances enterprise value.\nWith the growing popularity of non-sovereign digital coins, as well as smartphones, companies are beginning to turn to cryptocurrencies to reward tech-savvy customers for their loyalty. For instance, Hong Kong-based Powerchain is launching a blockchain-based loyalty points exchange that enables merchants worldwide to offer a more valuable format of loyalty reward.\nI spoke with Michael Mathias, the company’s CEO and the founder ofGreenPower, who says that blockchain-based rewards can significantly enhance value as well as reduce inefficiencies of traditional points. “Blockchain-integrated loyalty points improve trust and ensure security," he says. "The loyalty points on our blockchain-based platform represent a superior format of customer reward that never expires, is never restricted and is exchangeable for other forms of value, including cash.”\nHowever, 75 percent of consumers have changed shopping behaviors because of the pandemic. “Value, availability, and quality or organic products were the main drivers for consumers trying a different brand,” Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [10511.81, 10169.57, 10280.35, 10369.56, 10131.52, 10242.35, 10363.14, 10400.92, 10442.17, 10323.76, 10680.84, 10796.95, 10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35, 10938.27, 10462.26, 10538.46, 10246.19, 10760.07, 10692.72, 10750.72, 10775.27, 10709.65, 10844.64, 10784.49, 10619.45, 10575.97, 10549.33, 10669.58, 10793.34, 10604.41, 10668.97, 10915.69, 11064.46, 11296.36, 11384.18, 11555.36, 11425.90, 11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

A popular DeFi application appears to have been attacked. JPMorgan analysts see “considerable” upsides to bitcoin. Top shelf Crypto guidance The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has clarified that simply holding cryptocurrencies does not need to be disclosed. A published set of draft instructions for this year’s 1040 tax form spells out that returnees must disclose any crypto sales, exchanges for goods or services, or exchanges for property (including other crypto assets). Respondents must also reveal if they received any cryptocurrency for free, including via airdrops or hard forks. “The draft is likely to stand unless there are ‘unexpected issues’ or new legislation requiring changes, the IRS said in the document,” CoinDesk’s Daniel Palmer reports. DeFi drain The $1 billion Harvest Finance protocol appears to have been attacked, draining $25 million worth of bitcoin and stablecoins. The anonymous team behind the popular DeFi application tweeted they are “working actively on the issue of mitigating the economic attack,” adding the malicious actor manipulated stablecoin prices on Curve Finance, another DeFi protocol. DeFi analyst Chris Blec earlier claimed Harvest Finance’s administrators held an “admin key that can drain funds” locked in the protocol’s contracts – though it’s unclear if that level of control is related to the recent exploit. The platform’s native token, FARM, tumbled 65%, and the protocol’s TVL dropped to $673 million (as of 5:00 UTC) on the news.

The funds, co-owned by Shixuan Cai and business partner Lin Jian Chen, were frozen by operator Tether after Cai reported the theft to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in April, court documents show. “Tether routinely assists law enforcement agents and seeks to further their legitimate objectives,” Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino told CoinDesk. “Tether will always play by the rules, obey the law and try to be supportive of the wider digital token community.” Story continues Speech rights The case against Ethereum developer Virgil Griffith, who is charged by the U.S. government with violating sanctions law and executive orders by allegedly discussing how to bypass economic blockades while speaking at a North Korean cryptocurrency conference, stands without merit, the defense claims. In a motion to dismiss, attorney Brian Klein alleges Griffith only provided information that was already in the public domain and that the President of the United States does not have the authority to prohibit the transmission of information, among other claims. Griffith’s arrest last November is the first sanctions case in a U.S. court involving cryptocurrency. Denial of service PayPal has dropped controversial domain registrar and hosting service Epik as a client, according to Mashable. The payments giant said it had ceased servicing the company over concerns about financial risk, potentially related to Epik’s digital currency, a source “close to the situation” suggested. The crypto, Masterbucks, is used to pay for domain services and can be exchanged for U.S. dollars and allegedly has been touted by Epik as a way to avoid certain taxes. PayPal previously raised money transmission and laundering concerns about the digital currency. For its part, Epik is claiming the blockade shows “anti-conservative bias” because the service has become a lifeline to far-right organizations including Gab and the Proud Boys.

Though a question remains about how the decentralized money may fit itself into the larger investor scheme. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Steady Over $13K as JPMorgan Has Eureka! Moment Part of the issue here is the investor universe is a moving target, especially as more millennials enter the fray. Last week, JPMorgan’s Global Quantitative and Derivatives Strategy published a note, obtained by CoinDesk’s Zack Voell, detailing how this changing investor landscape could contribute to “considerable” upsides for bitcoin. Comparing bitcoin to gold, the client memo argued that bitcoin should be seen as a “risk” asset rather than a hedge, based on its positive correlation with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The analysts pointed to millennial investors’ interest in cryptocurrency and the demographic’s increasing role in the larger financial scheme. CoinDesk’s Voell notes that bitcoin’s market capitalization would have to increase by a factor of 10 before it could match the total private-sector investment in gold. Though “even a modest crowding out of gold as an alternative currency over the longer term would imply doubling or tripling of the bitcoin price from here,” JPMorgan’s note reads. That said, the analysts suggest bitcoin is “currently overbought for the near term.” Market intel Whale parade The number of bitcoin “whales” – clusters of addresses held by a single network participant holding at least 1,000 BTC – is standing at a four-year high. As of Sunday, there are now 1,939 whales, the highest since Sept. 2016, representing a 2.2% increase since last week. CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole notes the increase is likely tied to the prevailing bullish pressures around bitcoin’s price, which jumped 13% last week to register its best single-week performance since April.

Before First Kid , the Minnesota-born actor secured roles in a series of PG-rated comedies, playing a young Emilio Estevez in The Mighty Ducks , before graduating to smaller parts in movies like Problem Child 3: Junior in Love . When his screen time shrunk, Pierce retired from acting for a real executive role: co-founding the video production start-up Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) alongside businessman Marc Collins-Rector. At age 17, Pierce served as its vice president, taking in a base salary of $250,000. DEN became “the poster child for dot-com excesses,” raising more than $60 million in seed investments and plotting a $75 million IPO. But it turned into a shorthand for something else when, in October of 1999, the three co-founders suddenly resigned. That month, a New Jersey man filed a lawsuit alleging Collins-Rector had molested him for three years beginning when he was 13 years old. The following summer, three teens filed a sexual-abuse lawsuit against Pierce, Collins-Rector, and their third co-founder, Chad Shackley. The plaintiffs later dropped their case against Pierce (he made a payment of $21,600 to one of their lawyers) and Shackley. But after a federal grand jury indicted Collins-Rector on criminal charges in 2000, the DEN founders left the country. When Interpol arrested them in 2002, they said they had confiscated “guns, machetes, and child pornography” from the trio’s beach villa in Spain. While abroad, Pierce had pivoted to a new venture: Internet Gaming Entertainment, which sold virtual accessories in multiplayer online role-playing games to those desperate to pay, as one Wired reporter put it, “as much as $1,800 for an eight-piece suit of Skyshatter chain mail” rather than earn it in the games themselves. In 2005, a 25-year-old Pierce hired then-Goldman Sachs banker Steve Bannon—just before he would co-found Breitbart News. Two years later, after a World of Warcraft player sued the company for “ diminishing ” the fun of the game, Steve Bannon replaced Pierce as CEO. Story continues The ‘Varsity Blues’ Screenwriter’s Cold-Blooded Crusade Against L.A.’s Homeless Collins-Rector eventually pleaded guilty to eight charges of child enticement and registered as a sex offender. In the years that followed, Pierce waded into the gonzo economy of cryptocurrencies, where he overlapped more than once with Jeffrey Epstein, and counseled him on crypto. In that world, he founded Tether, a cryptocurrency that bills itself as a “stablecoin,” because its value is allegedly tied to the U.S. dollar, and the blockchain software company Block.one. Like his earlier businesses, Pierce’s crypto projects see-sawed between massive investments and curious deals. When Block.one announced a smart contract software called EOS.IO, the company raised $4 billion almost overnight, setting an all-time record before the product even launched. The Securities and Exchange Commission later fined the company $24 million for violating federal securities law. After John Oliver mocked the ordeal, calling Pierce a “sleepy, creepy cowboy,” Block.one fired him. Tether, meanwhile, is currently under investigation by the New York Attorney General for possible fraud. On July 4, Pierce announced his candidacy for president. His campaign surrogates include a former Cambridge Analytica director and the singer Akon, who recently doubled down on developing an anonymously funded, $6 billion “Wakanda-like” metropolis in Senegal called Akon City. Pierce claims to be bipartisan, and from the 11 paragraphs on the “Policy” section of his website it can be hard to determine where he falls on the political spectrum. He supports legalizing marijuana and abolishing private prisons, but avoids the phrase “climate change.” He wants to end “human trafficking.” His proposal to end police brutality: body cams. His political contributions tell a more one-sided story. Pierce’s sole Democratic contribution went to the short-lived congressional run of crypto candidate Brian Forde. The rest went to Republican campaigns like Marco Rubio, Rick Perry, John McCain, and the National Right to Life Political Action Committee. Last year alone, Pierce gave over $44,000 to the Republican National Committee and more than $55,000 to Trump’s re-election fund. Pierce spoke to The Daily Beast from his tour bus and again over email. Those conversations have been combined and edited for clarity. You’re announcing your presidential candidacy somewhat late, and historically, third-party candidates haven’t had the best luck with the executive office. If you don’t have a strong path to the White House, what do you want out of the race? I announced on July 4, which I think is quite an auspicious date for an Independent candidate, hoping to bring independence to this country. There’s a lot of things that I can do. One is: I’m 39 years old. I turn 40 in November. So I’ve got time on my side. Whatever happens in this election cycle, I’m laying the groundwork for the future. The overall mission is to create a third major party—not another third party—a third major party in this country. I think that is what America needs most. George Washington in his closing address warned us about the threat of political parties. John Adams and the other founding fathers—their fear for our future was two political parties becoming dominant. And look at where we are. We were warned. I believe, having studied systems, any time you have a system of two, what happens is those two things come together, like magnets. They come into collision, or they become polarized and become completely divided. I think we need to rise above partisan politics and find a path forward together. As Albert Einstein is quoted—I’m not sure the line came from him, but he’s quoted in many places—he said that the definition of insanity is making the same mistake or doing the same thing over and over and over again, expecting a different result. [ Ed. note: Einstein never said this. ] It feels like that’s what our election cycle is like. Half the country feels like they won, half the country feels like they lost, at least if they voted or participated. Obviously, there’s another late-comer to the presidential race, and that’s Kanye West. He’s received a lot of flak for his candidacy, as he’s openly admitted to trying to siphon votes away from Joe Biden to ensure a Trump victory . Is that something you’re hoping to avoid or is that what you’re going for as well? Oh no. This is a very serious campaign. Our campaign is very serious. You’ll notice I don’t say anything negative about either of the two major political candidates, because I think that’s one of the problems with our political system, instead of people getting on stage, talking about their visionary ideas, inspiring people, informing and educating, talking about problems, mentioning problems, talking about solutions, constructive criticism. That’s why I refuse to run a negative campaign. I am definitely not a spoiler. I’m into data, right? I’m a technologist. I’ve got digital DNA. So does most of our campaign team. We’ve got our finger on the pulse. Most of my major Democratic contacts are really happy to see that we’re running in a red state like Wyoming. Kanye West’s home state is Wyoming. He’s not on the ballot in Wyoming I could say, in part, because he didn’t have Akon on his team. But I could also say that he probably didn’t want to be on the ballot in Wyoming because it’s a red state. He doesn’t want to take additional points in a state where he’s only running against Trump. But we’re on the ballot in Wyoming, and since we’re on the ballot in Wyoming I think it’s safe—more than safe, I think it’s evident—that we are not here to run as a spoiler for the benefit of Donald Trump. In running for president, you’ve opened yourself up to be scrutinized from every angle going back to the beginning of your career. I wanted to ask you about your time at the Digital Entertainment Network. Can you tell me a little bit about how you started there? You became a vice president as a teenager. What were your qualifications and what was your job exactly? Well, I was the co-founder. A lot of it was my idea. I had an idea that people would use the internet to watch videos, and we create content for the internet. The idea was basically YouTube and Hulu and Netflix. Anyone that was around in the ‘90s and has been around digital media since then, they all credit us as the creators of basically those ideas. I was just getting a message from the creator of The Vandals, the punk rock band, right before you called. He’s like, “Brock, looks like we’re going to get the Guinness Book of World Records for having created the first streaming television show.” We did a lot of that stuff. We had 30 television shows. We had the top most prestigious institutions in the world as investors. The biggest names. High-net-worth investors like Terry Semel, who’s chairman and CEO of Warner Brothers, and became the CEO of Yahoo. I did all sorts of things. I helped sell $150,000 worth of advertising contracts to the CEOs of Pepsi and everything else. I was the face of the company, meeting all the major banks and everything else, selling the vision of what the future was.

A Chinese girl, in her 20\'s.\n\nWe talked for quite a few days, and one day, after i asked what she was doing at the moment she told me she was into trading as a hobby, since we talked about her main occupation of jewellery designer, and made quite a bit of money recently, that she was investing.\n\nSince I had a friend who knew a bit about it, and we talked lot about crypto and stuff, I thought I knew the basics or at least enough. She told me, after I asked, again, making no pressure, that she was investing in this new BLTO coin, in a market called\xa0Lenmo.com, again, all this in between good conversations and the typical stuff. Again, all of this in the span of days. \n\nMy stupid, greedy, high, horny and lonely ass totally fell for the compliments and offers to help getting started on that exchange place, all while warning me of its dangers as if caring about me.\n\nHer aunt was a finance advisor in Singapore and she had told her that this coin was going to be listed in 2 months time, At which point its value would be a lot bigger and selling the coin would mean a great profit. She was just sharing her plan with me, nothing seemed forced or off.\n\nShe sent screenshots of her investments in the likes of 20k in this exchange market, along with guiding me through all the process, just because i asked and i never for a second doubted a thing. Cant even begin to describe the felling of loss of trust in myself i feel right now.\n\nEverything was fine, no red flags, until just after I had made a conversion from bitcoin to BLTO\'s in\xa0Lenmo.com\xa0.\n\nFirst i needed some kind of invitation code to buy the coins, that she gave me, explaining it was to "prevent malicious registration". Unquestioned, the code was inserted.\n\nJust to see how i\'d do it later, I tried changing back from BLTO to bitcoin again, and the same option to buy more BLTO\'s appeared. I asked her and she explained it was because the coin hadn\'t been listed yet, so we were in the internal subscription stage, so you couldn\'t yet retrieve anything you had deposited. Somehow, i didn\'t question that.\n\nI say somehow sarcastically, I can see i\'m just stupid and greedy and easily deceivable.\n\nIn any case, we just talked a bit more about mundane stuff and she said she went to bed. Of course i only searched Lenmo after making the transaction, and found only an entry about it online on a forum:\xa0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284365.0\xa0, in which someone asks if anyone has ever heard of this exchange, and the consensus is that it is not only unknown, but a fake, and untrustworthy.\n\nSo, basically, i got scammed for 200 of my hard earned moneys, can no longer afford to go home for the holidays as i live abroad, and received a well deserved ego punch. I\'m not sure if she is going to reply tomorrow, but i have no idea how or even if i can get the money back if she answers, so i don\'t see the point in letting her know i\'ve realised my own stupidity.\n\nTL;DR: Matched with a girl on Tinder, she was cute and smart, had a hobbie of trading crypto and an aunt with inside info, showed me some photo of her investments and taught me how to trade to this great coin that was going to blow up, all in this fake exchange market, that took my already small funds and self confidence.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/jnm5kk/tifu_by_getting_scammed_with_cryptocurrency_by_a/', 'jnm5kk', [['u/cheech-wizard', 11, '2020-11-04 01:13', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/jnm5kk/tifu_by_getting_scammed_with_cryptocurrency_by_a/gb28nam/', 'Always make financial decisions when you are high and horny.\n\nJust sayin...', 'jnm5kk'], ['u/necknecker', 10, '2020-11-04 01:40', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/jnm5kk/tifu_by_getting_scammed_with_cryptocurrency_by_a/gb2bjkq/', 'Sorry you fell for this.

What Happened: Chile’s President Sebastian Pinera said that his nation’s health regulator had approved the British company’s vaccine trial, according to Reuters. According to Pinera, the clinical trial of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) COVID-19 vaccine candidate is already underway and the doses of Sinovac’s vaccine arrived in the country on Wednesday. Peru announced that trials of Johnson and Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines would begin next week, according to Reuters.

Why It Matters: Pinera also disclosed that Chile had signed up for 7.6 million doses of vaccine through the\xa0World Health Organization-led COVAX initiative. The World Bank is supporting COVAX and WHO’s efforts and has pledged billion in financing for developing countries to purchase and distribute COVID-19 vaccines, tests, and treatments.

The goal is not only to make the wallet easier to use as more people start adopting bitcoin, but also to implement the privacy improvements of the WabiSabi protocol, including making CoinJoins automatic by default. In a blog post laying out the launch timeline of the wallet, Wasabi announced the updated version would get a full UI (user interface) rewrite and user experience improvements, as well as make a CoinJoin easier for your average user. At the moment the team is in the midst of first steps for all three of these developments. While the most likely timeline for release is nine months, it could take as few as three or as many as 14. The post also said manual coinjoining will be a thing for “power-users only.” Related: Bitcoin Hits $15,000: Here Comes the FOMO Read more: Wasabi Wallet Is Revamping Its CoinJoin Design to Allow Bitcoin Mixing With Differing Values “Wasabi adds complications to traditional Bitcoin wallet workflows with its manual coinjoining process and its mandatory coin control features,” said Adam Ficsor, Wasabi co-founder and lead researcher, in an email to CoinDesk. “To improve upon these we’re planning to make coinjoining automatic by default and build upon the realization that coin control is mostly friction when the user would like to spend conjoined coins, so we should be able to introduce a simple send for that.” Automatic CoinJoins A CoinJoin is a method for bitcoin (BTC) users to make their payments harder to track by combining multiple payments from multiple senders into a transaction, muddying the ability of third parties to see who paid whom. Related: Federal Reserve Keeps Rates Close to Zero, Maintains Asset Purchases Ficsor said his plan currently is that at wallet creation, users would be asked if they want the wallet to take care of CoinJoins or whether they’d prefer to do it manually, as is the case now. Users would also set a privacy target (Ficsor tossed out levels such as none, some, high and Snowden) and then everything would happen automatically from there. Story continues “CoinJoins would be done while the wallet is open (and even when it isn’t) so all the user would have to do is use its wallet like a normal bitcoin wallet,” said Ficsor. He did say that while this is his plan, the final product could turn out differently based on what the team learns along the way. How WabiSabi improves on CoinJoins In the original Wasabi Wallet, there were limits to the functionality of CoinJoins. My colleague Colin Harper wrote about some of these earlier this year : “For this to work effectively, each user in a CoinJoin transaction must send a minimum amount of bitcoin to the mixing pool (e.g., 0.1, 0.01, etc) so as to ensure that they receive the same output as other users when the CoinJoin is complete,” Harper wrote. “If recipients don’t receive the same amount of bitcoin at the end of a join as other users in the mix, the transactions could be easily de-anonymized by blockchain surveillance.” Read more: Europol Names Privacy Wallets, Coins, Open Marketplaces as ‘Top Threats’ in Internet Crime Report Typically, the coordinator of a CoinJoin also has insight into a user’s information, that could allow them to link inputs to a user. WabiSabi, which will launch with the Wasabi Wallet 2.0, works to address some of these limitations by allowing users to input different amounts of BTC, independent of what other participants put in – which, let’s be honest, is how most people spend money. The coordinator role will still exist. How this helps the average user Ficsor said for average users the only uncomfortable thing they might experience with Wasabi Wallet 2.0 is that it may take a while until CoinJoins happen. This means if the users receive coins to their wallets, then it’d be automatically coinjoined in the background, and that may take a while. If users are in a hurry and want to spend their money before it’s coinjoined, they would have to utilize the manual coin control tab and figure it out, given spending non-coinjoined coins without coin control is “privacy suicide,” according to Ficsor. “That being said, I think in 99% of the cases there will always be coinjoined coins to spend from, so this wouldn’t really occur that often.” Related Stories Wasabi Wallet 2.0 Will Offer Automatic CoinJoins by Default to Boost Privacy Wasabi Wallet 2.0 Will Offer Automatic CoinJoins by Default to Boost Privacy', 'Wasabi Wallet, the privacy-focused bitcoin software wallet, has set a broad timeframe for the release of Wasabi Wallet 2.0.

Whether that's necessarily next year, I do not know. However, in the long run I believe that demand for a pure cryptocurrency that compares very favorably to Bitcoin when it comes to transactions will increase, all the more so when transaction fees for Bitcoin shoot up and transaction times shoot up with it. It's almost an advertisement for Nano, and I think that that is going to work out positively.\n\nOn top of that, there are a lot of cool developments happening in Nano that make me optimistic about the future. WeNano is getting quite some attention, store owners could use this to get crypto-enthusiasts to come check out their store. [RoboCash](http://disruptionbanking.com/2020/08/19/talking-about-fyncom-with-robocash-from-california/) is a fantastic, patented way to fight spam calls that I feel could really catch on. Nendly is a cool new forum that uses Nano as a sort of reward service (similar to moons). And in possibly even bigger news, an Unreal Engine Nano plugin was created, which creates an excellent way for developers to jump on the crypto hype train and allows them to incorporate payments into their game. If you're going to incorporate crypto into your game, it doesn't get much better than a crypto that allows instant, feeless value transfers. \n\nRealistically, any of those services really catch on and that's a massive increase in adoption for Nano, and a massive increase in price for Nano. To me it feels like the developers have been getting Nano ready for years, so that on a protocol level it's ready to handle the adoption that's soon coming. And because Nano scales so well, once adoption starts it's just going to be able to keep increasing.\n\nSo yeah, I think Nano is definitely going to see a big increase in adoption one way or another, and I'm looking forward to it.", 'jobqqt'], ['u/Thc420Vato', 11, '2020-11-05 07:58', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jobqqt/what_alts_are_you_considering_as_your_safest_bets/gb7fbfd/', 'Cardano, its safe to say that its price will 2-3x with ease once Gougen/Smart contracts update comes out in 6 months.

The correlation is still very high.” Bitcoin may be operating in tandem with traditional markets as of late, but its returns over the past month have been beating global stock indexes. In the options market, traders have over 36,000 BTC in open interest set to expire by Oct. 30. Based on the probability of those options, bitcoin has a 68% chance of closing out the month over $10,000, a 53% chance of being over $10,500 and just a 37% chance to hit $11,000. Related:Bitcoin Options Volume on CME Jumps 300% as Traders Take Bullish Bets DV Chain’s Rabkin noted that as more sophisticated investors jump into crypto, it may ebb and flow with the traditional market more than ever before. “As bitcoin is becoming a new asset class for institutional market participants, its sensitivity to macro events will rise over time.” The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization,ether(ETH), was flat Wednesday, trading around $341 and in the red 0.03% in 24 hours as of 20:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET).

It’s important to note this data from Glassnode don’t include smart contracts, which may help explain why the number of addresses has dropped in 2020. George Clayton, a managing partner of investment firm Cryptanalysis Capital, says many large ether holders are likely moving some of the crypto into smart contract-based DeFi protocols for additional profit opportunities. “Ethereum believers ought to be DeFi believers as well,” said Clayton. “With billions flowing into DeFi, major ETH holders might be getting in on the action by participating in automated market making pools or staking ERC-20 tokens, thereby reducing ETH balances.” Digital assets on theCoinDesk 20are mixed Wednesday.

The company used the funds to spur the development of algorithmically-driven strategies that minimize risk through a combination of long and short positions. After mixed success evaluating new opportunities to derive alpha as well as provide value to participating creators and investors, the firm decided it will retire its community and related services on Nov. 14, 2020.

I have been in a long running\n\nmargin trade on Poloniex for several months on Stellar Lumens (XLM) also known as STRBTC. I have\n\nbeen adding margin to this trade for some time to keep it afloat, trusting that eventually the price\n\nwill rebound.\n\nOn the evening of 27th October @ 18:04 there was a flash crash that took the Stellar price down to\n\n106 sats from +-600 sats before the price rebounded back to where it was. This move instantly\n\nliquidated my position as the Polo liquidation engine is based on Last Traded Price (no index or fair\n\nmarket price system similar to that of Bitmex for example). You can see in the attached image an\n\nexample of what this looked like on the chart.\n\n[STRBTC Chart](https://imgur.com/a/cnK09Wp)\n\nI contacted Poloniex support to find out what had happened. You can see there response below.\n\nHonestly, sounds like a load of bullshit to me.\n\n[Poloniex Email](https://imgur.com/a/qvuN4yz)\n\nTo which my response was as follows:\n\n“Thanks for your swift response and what you have done so far. I do however feel that this is dishonest on the exchange's part as they have essentially forced me to then close my trade at 624 sats at a massive loss. This is not something I clearly would have ordinarily done as I have been adding margin to the trade to keep it afloat for some time. It means that the exchange has interfered in my trade beyond the ordinary scope of what they would do so. I believe that the correct thing to do would be to restore my original trade in place at your quoted price of 624 sats.”\n\nI have since been in touch with a handful of people that were affected in the same crash and they have received similar responses from the Polo support team and have also since been ignored for any follow up.\n\nNow that this has happened to me, I decided to do more research into it and found that this exact same thing has occurred several times on Poloniex. Links for more info below on these other instances:\n\n(will post in comments)\n\nInterestingly, the STR wallet was down several days prior to the crash and almost immediately went down for maintenance again straight after (trying to prevent people from leaving with currency for some reason perhaps?). It honestly feels like everything they do is underhanded and leaves me questioning whether or not perhaps they instigated this flash crash to fish for liquidations themselves.\n\nMy questions for the forum are as follows:\n\n1. Do you agree that Polo is at fault/admitted fault and that I am justified in wanting them to either reinstate my margin trade or some alternative for recompensation?\n2. Has this happened to you in any way and if so, did Polo reimburse you or are you being affected by the same Stellar Flash Crash?\n3. Do I have any grounds for wanting to claim recompensation for what has happened?\n\nTL;DR: Get your coins off of Poloniex. I feel that they have scammed me out of currency and many others that I have been in contact with; they're liquidity is shocking.

Now, some of those funds are accepting cryptocurrency donations. Facilitated by crypto payment processorThe Giving Block, theBail Project, theChicago Community Bond Fundand theNashville Community Bail Fund, for example, accept cryptocurrency including bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH) and even basic attention token (BAT). They’ve taken in thousands of dollars in crypto donations since the summer, according to The Giving Block, which could be a sign of larger adoption in the space of bail funds. This summer saw a rise in civil action against police violence in the U.S., with thousands of protestors taking to the streets over the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Around this time, Alex Wilson, co-founder of The Giving Block, started hearing from bail funds that were interested in using The Giving Block to process cryptocurrency payments. Read more:Baby Steps or Handcuffs? Crypto Pros Assess PayPal’s Bitcoin Play According to the director of the Community Justice Exchange, Pilar Weiss, not many of theorganization’s member bail fundsaccept crypto. She said that is based on the grassroots nature of many crowdfunding actions for bail funds. While a handful of their member funds accept crypto, including the Richmond Bail Fund, if they do it’s usually because they have some back-end administrative capacity to accept. Weiss said she could see that change, however, as fundraising platforms like PayPal, for example,move into accepting cryptocurrency donations. Related:How Financial Advisors Should Think About Bitcoin with Morgen Rochard “The traditional kind of nonprofit donor, which some nonprofits rely on, are on the older side, in their fifties and sixties, and often even retired,” said Wilson. “Sometimes [nonprofits] have a hard time connecting with younger donors. So they see this as one of those ways of doing that. It also helps them look a little bit more innovative when they’re starting to play with stuff like crypto and not just taking checks in the mail.” When someone is arrested, a judge sets bail and the detainee must either pay that amount or stay in jail until the trial. But not everyone has access to ready cash and the system disproportionately impacts low-income citizens in both the short and long term. According to research from the Bail Project, a single night in prison can have cascading effects such as the loss of a job, a home and even custody of children. Waiting in jail prior to trial also impacts a detainee’s likelihood of going to prison, according to a regularly updatedreport on cash bailfrom the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan law and policy institute. The report found that “those who are held pretrial are four times more likely to be sentenced to prison than defendants released prior to trial. Pretrial detainees are also likely to make hurried decisions to plead guilty to a lower charge to spend less time behind bars rather than changing a higher charge and longer sentence at trial.” See also:Belarus News Media Are Testing Decentralized Tech to Resist Censorship Bail funds are essentially large, crowdsourced funds that are then used to bail people out of jail as they await their trials. Organizations like the Bail Project, the Chicago Community Bond Fund and the Nashville Community Bail Fund are working to pay bail for those who can’t afford it in such situations. Co-director of the Nashville Community Community Bail Fund Jessica Lamb says the fund was founded in 2016 to free low-income Nashvillians from jail, and work to end what the fund calls “wealth-based detention.” “Our vision is a society where money does not determine any person’s access to freedom,” said Lamb in an email. “Since our inception, we have freed nearly 1,500 Nashvillians from jail. We also work with community partners to disrupt the criminal legal system and work toward money bail policy reform.” Bail has a cascading effect on things from civil rights to elections. If people know they’re unlikely to be able to risk arrest because they can’t afford bail, they will be less inclined to take to the streets against injustice. That threat of arrest and staying in jail is a coercive measure that, in effect, curbs protestors’ right to free speech and assembly. Bail also has downstream consequences for elections. Given that being unable to afford bail affects whether they will plead guilty as well as how long they’re held, it can curb people’s ability to vote. Besides being unable to vote, If someone is held in detention and pleads guilty to something on the level of a felony, that voting ability can be curtailed for years. Wilson said there are a number of benefits for bail funds taking cryptocurrency donations. One is it helps them offset economic loss, given the economic uncertainty of the times, by diversifying their revenue and donation streams. Another aspect he has noticed in his work is that cryptocurrencies tend to appeal to a younger demographic, and they’re likely to be completely new donors. See also:Monero-for-Bail Project Sees Increased Demand During Protests The important ability of international donors to contribute easily through crypto is specifically something Wilson was hearing from groups that were part of The Giving Block’sCrypto for Black Lives campaign, which was kicked off this summer to raise money for civil rights organizations, including bail funds. While that wasn’t the reason The Giving Block became interested in crypto, it’s become an important component. The final reason is simple: taxes. When you realize a capital gain (price increase) on a cryptocurrency and trade or cash it out, that’s a taxable event. But bitcoin or other cryptocurrency donations to a nonprofit are treated like donations of stock. As such they are not considered taxable events, meaning you don’t pay those capital gains taxes when you donate and you can deduct them on your tax return. Read more:‘Snake Oil and Overpriced Junk’: Why Blockchain Doesn’t Fix Online Voting The Bail Project’s Chief Financial Officer Zach Herz-Roiphe said he’d encourage any nonprofit to cast as wide a net as possible for donors. Thus far, bitcoin specifically and crypto in general have historically made up an extremely small portion of total donations over the years, but as crypto becomes more mainstream he expects that to change. “We expect that more people will embrace crypto as their preferred method of making donations – especially as people understand the tax benefits of giving via crypto, which are similar to those of donating conventional securities,” he said. Practically, The Giving Block is serving as a payment processor and enabler for these organizations to expand how they take donations. “We essentially try to make it as easy as possible for bail funds or other nonprofits to be able to accept crypto and not have to worry about, for example, the volatility of crypto,” said Wilson. “So all these nonprofits have an option to automatically convert the crypto to U.S. dollars.” Wilson said that while his organization has seen a tailing off of interest from bail funds after the summer, there is still a greater level of interest than there has been. On a high level, according to Wilson, these projects have gotten thousands of dollars, but less than $25,000 each since June in crypto donations. See also:Activists Document Police Misconduct Using Decentralized Protocol Lamb said cryptocurrency donations are a small portion of the Nashville Community Bail Fund’s total donations. “But it’s cool to see donations coming in a new way. One of the best parts about it for us has been learning more about the crypto community, especially the ways it has pitched in to support both the COVID-19 crisis and the movement for Black lives,” said Lamb. These aren’t the only projects leveraging crypto in the service of supporting efforts for systemic change. Bail Bloc is a project that lets you minemonero(XMR) forbail funds. A few months ago, a group of activists put together aproject to document police violenceon the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and the Ethereum blockchain. “I think the issue of addressing bail will continue to be popular with the crypto community,” said Wilson. “In general I think the cause of ending cash bail is one that really resonates. In the meantime, helping people afford bail is an alternative.” • US Bail Funds Are Seeing an Uptick in Cryptocurrency Donations • US Bail Funds Are Seeing an Uptick in Cryptocurrency Donations... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/ramagam', "I'm thinking about doing the unthinkable.....", 88, '2020-11-08 00:25', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/jq0ss4/im_thinking_about_doing_the_unthinkable/', 'So yeah, I am seriously considering talking a very serious $100k risk, so naturally, I figured I would consult a bunch of random strangers on the internet for advice......\n\nI am considering taking 100k out of my 401k and sticking it in btc.\n\nI know.....\n\nHere are my details: My wife and have about 400 total in our 401\'s.

Writing to clients in “Flows & Liquidity,” one of JPMorgan’s flagship publications, the authors said that characterizing bitcoin as a “risk” asset rather than a “safe” asset is “more appropriate” based on the leading cryptocurrency’s increased positive correlation with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index since March. Bitcoin’s function as a risk asset is “likely more of a reflection of a need for an ‘alternative’ currency rather than a need for a ‘safe’ asset or ‘hedge’.” Related:First Mover: Bitcoin Steady Over $13K as JPMorgan Has Eureka! Moment “To some extent, this is also true with gold,” the authors add, although the yellow metal’s volatility is notably lower than bitcoin’s. How investors currently perceive bitcoin’s value implies that it could “compete more intensely” with gold as an “alternative” currency over the coming years, the analysts wrote. Bitcoin’s role as a gold competitor is amplified by millennial investors’ interest in cryptocurrency, according to the note, and the inevitability of the younger investor demographic becoming “over time a more important component” of the investor universe.

Specifically, PayPal’s Wednesdayannouncementof support for bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) is “another big step toward corporate support for bitcoin,” according to the note. The authors also identify “strong growth” in institutional investor interest in bitcoin indicated by activity in CME futures and options markets. As of Thursday, for example, CME bitcoin futures markets quietlybecame the second-largest measured by open interest, overtaking BitMEX and Binance, two dominant crypto-only trading platforms.

According to the authors, the price of bitcoin and altcoins could appreciate significantly if adopted as means of payment. “The more economic agents accept cryptocurrency as a means of payment in the future, the higher their utility and value,” the note says. Ultimately, even though bitcoin “looks currently overbought for the near term,” the authors reiterate that the potential long-term upside for bitcoin is “considerable.” • Bitcoin’s Rivalry With Gold Plus Millennial Interest Gives It ‘Considerable’ Upside Potential: JPMorgan • Bitcoin’s Rivalry With Gold Plus Millennial Interest Gives It ‘Considerable’ Upside Potential: JPMorgan... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Reporting over $2.4 million in mining revenue, the Castle Rock, Colo.-based mining firm increased revenue by 42% from the same period in 2019. The company’s mining revenue clearly benefited from a 15% increase in the price of bitcoin during the Q3 in addition to its increased hash power. Riot filings show it mined 222 BTC in Q3 2020, up 41% from the same period last year, but slightly lower than the 227 BTC mined in Q2 2020 . In 2019, Riot switched to mining bitcoin exclusively, CEO Jeff McGonegal told CoinDesk. Previously, the company also mined litecoin and bitcoin cash . Riot reported a current mining capacity of 556 peta hash per second (PH/s), meeting its goal set in its Q2 earnings release , which represents a 450% increase from its Q3 2019 hash power of 101 PH/s. Riot plans to continue aggressively expanding its mining operations, per its earnings report, through four purchase agreements with mining manufacturer Bitmain for a total of 16,600 S19-Pro machines. The firm expects incremental delivery and deployment of its new machines through the end of Q2 2021. Concurrent with an increase in mined bitcoin and the leading cryptocurrency’s 114% year-to-date rally, Riot’s cryptocurrency corporate liquidity grew from $7.2 million in Q2 to $9 million in Q3. Its cash reserves ballooned from $9.1 million to $30.1 million over the same period. Riot shareholders enjoyed the lowest quarterly loss per share since the company first fully deployed its cryptocurrency mining hardware in Q2 2018. The loss per share dropped to $0.04 in Q3, a 50% improvement from a loss per share of $0.08during the same period last year. Riot shares were trading hands at $3.50 at Monday’s close, up 32% from the start of Q4. They’ve risen more than 200% year to date.

Daily Context for Date: 2020-11-10 Financial & Commodity Data: - Gold Closing Price: $1875.40 - Crude Oil Closing Price: $41.36 Bitcoin Market & On-Chain Metrics: - Market Capitalization: $285,338,689,641 - Hash Rate: 122675182.48120748 - Transaction Count: 303270.0 - Unique Addresses: 684892.0 Social & AI Sentiment: - Fear & Greed Index: 0.90 Other Textual Data: - Daily Tweets (Sample): N/A - Contextual Past News Article: The big news Wednesday in the world of finance wasPayPal HoldingsPYPL entering the digital currency conversation with their launch of a new service enabling its customers to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrency directly from their PayPal account.From the company press release..."The migration toward digital payments and digital representations of value continues to accelerate, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased interest in digital currencies from central banks and consumers."Last week, I reviewed the impact thatSquareSQ was having on Bitcoin, with its renewed commitment and recent $50 million investment, in this video and article...Why Square is Jamie Dimon's Favorite MistakeThat move by Jack Dorsey & Co. put a little more kick in Bitcoin's step as it was already testing and bouncing off of the $10,000 breakout level from July.And the move by PayPal kicked in the Falcon booster rockets on the Starship Bitcoin as it soared above the August high-close of $12,300 and flirted with levels near $13,000 not seen since the summer of 2019, up over $1,000 or 8%+.Why PayPal Matters Even Without an Investment StakeAs far as I can tell, PayPal did not disclose an investment stake similar to Square's announcement. But the company saying that it "signaled its plans to significantly increase cryptocurrency's utility by making it available as a funding source for purchases at its 26 million merchants worldwide," was enough to light the bonfire.This is significant because of PayPal's broad global reach with $222 billion in payments volume processing in the second quarter among 346 million active accounts.And according to Reuters, "PayPal hopes the service will encourage global use of virtual coins and prepare its network for new digital currencies that may be developed by central banks and corporations, President and Chief Executive Dan Schulman said in an interview."“We are working with central banks and thinking of all forms of digital currencies and how PayPal can play a role,” he said.I thought this statement was pretty significant by itself. PayPal is talking to not just one central bank, but probably a dozen or more as they envision the digital payments and store-of-value future.The digital wallet pioneer even acknowledged how deeply they've been thinking about the global ramifications, with this line in the press release..."According to a survey by the Bank for International Settlements, one in 10 central banks – representing approximately one-fifth of the world's population – expect to issue their own digital currencies within the next three years."Even the Fed Wants a Digital Dollar?On August 13, Forbes crypto and blockchain contributor Jason Brett described that day's presentation by Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard which "provided a broad description of the Fed’s ongoing research and plans in the potential development of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), also described in the U.S. as a Digital Dollar."According to Brett, Brainard has for years led the discussion at the Fed on distributed ledger technology and digital currencies and she noted "the Fed is active in conducting research and experimentation in these areas."This is why the move by PayPal could blow the lid off of Bitcoin and send it to new highs above $20,000 in the next year.The way I see it,PayPal will force all central banks and financial institutions to move faster.Look at it this way: the most important central bank in the world, the US Federal Reserve, has been showing some of its hand with interest in digital currencies -- since at least August -- and that probably encouraged some buying interest in Bitcoin.But the move by PayPal ignited an 8% frenzy that puts Bitcoin easily on a trajectory to challenge the June 2019 highs above $13,800 and then probably move higher from there, where many chartists would see no sleep till $16,000.As Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings, was fond of saying in 2017, "the herd is coming."Is Gold Still an Asset Class?I have long been bearish on gold as a truly barbarous and irrelevant relic in the era of digital QE. Of course, I didn't see the Fed remaining dovish for possibly another five years when I wrote Why Gold is Headed to Zero -- And What You Should Buy Instead.But I'm okay being wrong about that as long as I'm right about the equities -- Tech likeNVIDIANVDA and Biotech like CRISPR Therapeutics -- being worth more than theSPDR Gold Shares ETFGLD in the long run.And I'm fascinated by the analysis and conviction of the crypto bulls like Novogratz and Dave Bartosiak, who runs the Blockchain Innovators portfolio. I asked Dave what he thought about today's blast-off and here's what he said..."The PayPal news is yet another step forward for the legitimization of cryptocurrency as an asset class. It starts with, dare I say, gimmicky functionality like the basic ability to buy, sell and send crypto. Soon it will evolve into major financial institutions changing the mechanics of how their businesses work in order to cut costs through the adoption of blockchain tech and crypto."Dave has been working hard the past 3 years to find public companies that would benefit the most from this revolution, from the crypto mining hardware likeAdvanced Micro DevicesAMD to the payment players old and new including Square, PayPal, and Mastercard.And here's what Novogratz, whose Galaxy funds may hold over 16,000 BTC worth over $200 million, had to say on Twitter yesterday morning..."This PayPal news is the biggest news of the year in crypto. All banks will now be on a race to service crypto. We have crossed the rubicon people. Exciting day."What the Flip is the Flippening?In the video that accompanies this article, I once again take a look at the major holders of Bitcoin, including Galaxy Digital, MicroStrategy, and theGrayscale Bitcoin TrustGBTC. I also consider the idea that some day, maybe not too distantly,digital gold will exceed the value of physical gold.Some crypto authorities have coined that event as the "flippening." But with the market capitalization of the barbarous relic currently over $11 trillion, according to the World Gold Council, Bitcoin and other cryptos at less than $300 billion have a ways to go.In August, Anthony Pompliano stated on Twitter that he believes by the end of this decade, the market capitalization of Bitcoin will be higher than that of gold.According to a 8/15/20 article on CoinTelegraph.com, the Morgan Creek Digital co-founder’s tweet provoked a reply from Peter Schiff:“By 2029 you'll be lucky if the market cap of #Bitcoin still exceeds the market cap of a baseball cap.”This only led to Pompliano doubling down on his prediction. He responded to Schiff...“Think approximately a decade is rather conservative, so trying to account for many things that could possibly happen to slow growth.”I think it's inevitable too. And the great thing about this prediction is that even if it doesn't come true this decade, it's still easy to identify the larger trends in payments and the primacy of digital gold's best virtues: privacy, liberty, security, transparency, autonomy, speed and flexibility.For these values, BTC has already beaten GLD.Disclosure: I own NVDA, SQ, and AMD shares.

Today's Key News: ["Representatives of Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ: NDAQ ) and other major exchanges will meet with the Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Nov. 20 in Austin as they consider relocation of their trading platforms from New Jersey to Dallas, NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth reported Tuesday. What Happened: The meeting was reportedly\xa0spurred by a proposed “financial transaction” tax amounting to a quarter of a cent that New Jersey — the current host of the exchanges'\xa0data centers — wants to levy on the 10,000 or so transactions made through electronic infrastructure. The tax is estimated to\xa0generate $10 billion in revenue for the Garden State. The financial institutions will meet with Abbott under a grouping called “Coalition To Prevent The Taxing Of Retirement Savings.” A spokesperson for Abbott told NBC 5 DFW that the governor\xa0“looks forward to meeting with Nasdaq and showcasing Texas' business-friendly environment, skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and low taxes, all of which foster greater economic growth in the Lone Star State.” Why It Matters: The coalition comprises financial heavyweights like Nasdaq, CBOE Global Markets Inc. (BATS: CBOE ), Citadel Securities, Equinix, Inc (NASDAQ: EQIX ), UBS Group AG (NYSE: UBS ), TD Ameritrade,\xa0and the owner of New York Stock Exchange — Intercontinental Exchange, Inc (NYSE: ICE ). A move to Texas would reportedly lessen Wall Street’s dependence on the East Coast and be a boost for the booming data center industry in North Texas which has attracted the likes of Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB ) to the Dallas-Fort Worth area due to renewable energy resources. Other states that have expressed interest in hosting the exchanges' data centers include Virginia, North Carolina, and Illinois, which have all held talks with Nasdaq, according to NBC 5 DFW.

The Maker community had initially voted in early April to refund sunken investors. Nearly six months later and the community – represented by current holders of Maker’s MKR governance tokens – concluded a final vote to give zero compensation for lost funds. Some 65% of votes opted for zero compensation, with the next two options for partial compensation receiving 18% and 15%, respectively. The vote itself was dominated by large MKR holders. Only 38 unique votes were cast, equivalent to 8.74% of MKR token holders, with the low turnout reflecting some of the current difficulties associated with governance in the booming DeFi sector. Related: BitGo Is Bringing DeFi-Friendly Wrapped Bitcoin to the Tron Blockchain Stepping back, many Maker users had collateral positions for outstanding loans liquidated after a sudden, mid-March crash in the price of ether (ETH) . Additionally, investors were unable to maintain positions because of a backlog of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain as investors sought to flee the COVID-driven market collapse. The one-two punch was preyed upon by market making bots that exploited the flaw to the tune of 2.4 million ETH. Broken logic in the platform’s collateral liquidation engine could be exploited under the right conditions to gobble up collateral on the cheap.

Related: Uniswap Users Have Claimed $560M-Worth of UNI Tokens in a Week Yet, participating MKR holders were incentivized to vote against the compensation as any additional printing of MKR tokens would dilute the value of their holdings. Many community members said as much in the MakerDAO forum. Class action update Litigation against the Maker Foundation in the form of a class-action lawsuit continues regardless of the vote’s outcome, said Adam S. Heder, the Harris Berne Christensen LLP attorney representing MakerDAO’s Black Thursday investors. Lead plaintiff Pete Johnson filed three counts against the Maker Foundation in April including negligence, intentional misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation. He and joining members of the suit are seeking up to $28.35 million in compensation. Story continues “The parties have submitted briefing on the Maker Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration. We don’t know yet when the Court will issue its ruling,” Heder said via email. The Maker Foundation declined to comment.

CEO Jack Dorsey calls bitcoin the most viable currency for the internet. Chamath Palihapitiyadiscussedbitcoin at theBenzinga Boot Camprecently. He invested $1 million in bitcoin in 2012 through a friend’s recommendation and later bought more after doing due diligence. Palihapitiya has since sold his bitcoin and now invests in the cryptocurrency through companies that own coins: “It’s easier to manage shares instead of individual coins or wallets,” he said. The move by Square has put bitcoin in the spotlight yet again. Below are three companies that own physical shares of bitcoins and are seeing gains Thursday. Riot Blockchain:The portfolio ofRiot Blockchain(NASDAQ:RIOT) isinvestedin companies associated with blockchain and also is a producer of bitcoins. The companyaimsto “be one of the largest and lowest-cost producers of bitcoin in North America.” In thefirst six monthsof fiscal 2020, Riot produced 508 new bitcoins. The company also saw its mining margin increase to 33.5% compared to 20.5% in the prior year. Riot is investing heavily in increasing mining capacity. The company has 1,000 next-generation miners scheduled for delivery in November. The company also has 8,000 more to be installed over the first four months of 2021. Riot has a current deployed hash rate capacity of 456 PH/s utilizing 16.3 MW of energy. By May 2021, the company will see these figures rise to 1,446 PH/s utilizing 46 MW of energy. Hive Blockchain Technologies:In the last fiscal year,Hive Blockchain Technologies(OTC:HVBTF) achieved profitability for the first time. The company assumed direct responsibility for cryptocurrency from a partner in a move to cut costs and help margins. Hive also shut down its cloud-mining operations for bitcoin in favor of a new method. “Today, with the assumption of full control of our operations completed, HIVE stands as one of the largest publicly listed cryptocurrency miners globally,” the company says. Hive acquired its own bitcoin mining operations in Canada and has been scaling the business through acquisitions and next-generation mining equipment. The last fiscal year saw Hive mine 2,051 bitcoin. The company began using next-generation mining equipment for bitcoin in May. Along with bitcoin, Hive is also a large player in the Ethereum cryptocurrency. In the last fiscal year, the company mined 71,660 Ethereum and 148,796 Ethereum Classic. MicroStrategy:The cloud business ofMicroStrategy Inc(NASDAQ:MSTR) is declining, but the company is making news for its investment in bitcoins. CEO Michael Saylor believes bitcoins are superior to cash and gold. The company decided to spend its $500 million in cash on share buybacks and investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin “is a dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash,” Saylor said. Saylor also foreshadowed a move like Square made Thursday predicting, “it will probably be private companies first, then public companies our size, then mid-sized companies.” Through investments in August and September, MicroStrategy bought 38,250 bitcoin, spending $425 million on the currency. The average price is $11,111 for the bitcoin purchased. The company plans on buying bitcoin with its cash from operations. Benzinga’s Take:Coindesk reports that Fidelity, Schwab and Vanguard have all increased their holdings in Riot and Hive. Schwab owns $52,000 of Riot Blockchain stock. Vanguard has $2.1 million invested in Riot Blockchain. Fidelity has $230,000 invested in Riot Blockchain and $1 million in Hive Blockchain. These three stocks offer a way for investors to get exposure to bitcoin without having to open a wallet or a cryptocurrency account. All three are small-cap stocks and could have high risk/high reward based on the valuation of bitcoin.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.22%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.45%), Polkadot (+0.04%), and Ripple’s XRP (+2.09%) found early support. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Litecoin was down by 1.82% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $16,255 to bring the first major resistance level at $16,535 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $16,481.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $16,762 and resistance at $17,000. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $16,255 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,028 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$16,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $15,748.

DeFi’s total value locked hit a lifetime high. Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio said yesterday he isn’t keen on bitcoin; a few hours later, the cryptocurrency hit a three-year high. Top shelf Cannot dai Dai (DAI), MakerDAO’s dollar-pegged algorithmic stablecoin, reached a $1 billion market capitalization on Wednesday. While there are only 993 million DAI in circulation, its skewed peg of $1.01 has brought it above the milestone metric. “[I]t works, is here to stay, and is the honey badger of Ethereum,” Compound’s Robert Leshner said. About a third of all dai is in the DAI Savings Rate (DSR) smart contract, with most of the remainder (over 620 million,) locked in its ERC-20 smart contract, CoinDesk’s Brady Dale reports. The move comes as the DeFi ecosystem in aggregate passed a new lifetime high of $13.62 billion. Forfeited funds Chainalysis, in conjunction with confiscated asset consultancy Asset Reality, unveiled a program for storing and selling forfeited crypto . Announced Thursday, the program is targeted towards government clients, many of which rely on Chainalysis’ blockchain sleuthing technology to trace illicit funds. While no clients have been announced, in April, the U.S. Marshals Service, which runs semi-regular forfeiture auctions, said it was looking for a private-sector partner to help it manage and dispose of forfeited cryptocurrency. Related: First Mover: Why the Fed Cares About Remote Working – And What It Means for Bitcoin Dalio’s dictates Founder of the world’s largest hedge fund Ray Dalio said governments will seek to “outlaw” bitcoin if it becomes “material.” Plodding well-worn territory, Dalio said bitcoin may not even get there due to its volatility and lack of commercial appeal. “I today can’t take my bitcoin yet and buy things easily with it,” he said. Still, governments may “use whatever teeth they have” to break bitcoin’s back, if it becomes necessary, he said. Story continues Staking play Crypto trading firm DARMA Capital unveiled a service to provide Eth 2.0 stakers with liquidity through USDC stablecoin loans. Called, perhaps unimaginatively, LiquidStake, the service will allow users to continue earning interest provided by the Eth 2.0 experiment (which will not allow stakers to recall their assets once pledged) while also using this stake as collateral on a cash-equivalent loan. While other loan providers are testing similar services, DARMA’s has received the backing of the Ethereum establishment, including involvement from ConsenSys, Bison Trails, Figment, OpenLaw and Filecoin. In other Ethereum news, Tel Aviv-based Kirobo revealed a way to reverse erroneous ether transactions. $7.6B stolen Since 2011, $7.6 billion worth of cryptocurrencies have been stolen through hacks or scams, according to a new Crystal Blockchain report. Approximately $2.8 billion was stolen through 113 security breaches, with a concentration of hacks taking place in the U.S., Japan, U.K., China and South Korea. Another $4.8 billion was stolen through scams, with Crystal Blockchain identifying 23 prominent fraud schemes. Noting the the number of hacks and scams seems to be holding steady, malicious actors are growing more sophisticated. Proper insurance, reserve balances, in-house security teams and blockchain analytics software are all recommended remedies.

( Decrypt ) Market intel Crossing $16K Bitcoin kissed three-year highs above $16,000 earlier today. At around 10 UTC (5 a.m. ET) the cryptocurrency clocked $16,157, a price point last seen on Jan. 6, 2018, before trending down to the high $15,000s. Bitcoin is now up 123% on a year-to-date basis and has gained nearly 50% so far this quarter. Investors still predict a consolidation between $14,000 to $16,000 before any potential retest of all-time highs of $20,000. “The interest so far in 2020 has been primarily from institutions and we could see more retail participation when bitcoin breaks its previous all-time highs of $20,000,” Kyle Davies, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, said. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Breaches $16K as (Committed) Holders Diss Dalio's Diss Bitcoin in profit Bitcoin’s rally has had another effect beyond market exuberance and wild-eyed predictions: Nearly all unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) are in profit . According to Coin Metrics, 98% of UTXOs are worth more today than the time of creation, a level last seen in December 2017. UTXOs are the value left over after a bitcoin transaction, similar to receiving change after paying cash. So what does it mean for bitcoin’s price? Well, Coin Metric analysts said traders might be encouraged to sell and take their profits, or continue holding, given there’s “ a low risk of capitulation.” At stake Bitcoin in Venezuela Venezuela continues to dominate peer-to-peer crypto activity . According to data reviewed by CoinDesk research analyst Duy Nguyen, in GDP-adjusted terms, the South American nation’s P2P bitcoin market is at least twice as high as the next-largest market, Nigeria. Activity on prominent P2P crypto exchanges LocalBitcoins and Paxful peaked in the first half of 2019, but has since hovered around $20 million. Experts point to a range of factors to explain the successful test case of Venezuelan crypto use: including the nation’s riotous inflation, capital controls and remittance markets, U.S.-led sanctions and the Maduro regime’s experiment with a crypto-backed petro dollar. The International Monetary Fund measured Venezuelan hyperinflation at 65,374% in 2018, leagues above any other economy. (Zimbabwe, for instance, is projected to run hot at 319% in 2020, though government bans mean P2P BTC trading is near-zero.) Among the 10 economies that have experienced the highest rates of annual inflation since 2017, only Venezuela, Argentina and Iran have shown significant peer-to-peer bitcoin market activity, Nguyen reports. While macro-level indicators do much to explain a “deflationary” currency like bitcoin’s appeal, significant on the ground factors are at play. Gabriel Jiménez, a Venezuelan blockchain entrepreneur who led the development of the petro, said Venezuelan businesses often use bitcoin as a medium to obtain foreign currencies like the dollar. “People living in Venezuela are living under a very unstable and predatory government. They suffer from extreme inflation and general economic instability. And here’s a censorship-resistant, inflation-proof asset, so it’s very attractive to people who are looking for a way to maintain value,” Andrea O’Sullivan, director of tech and innovation at James Madison Institute, told Nguyen.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.54% on Saturday. Reversing a 0.08% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $16,057.0. It was a bearish day. Bitcoin slid from an early morning intraday high $16,315.0 to a late afternoon intraday low $15,715.0. The extended sell-off saw Bitcoin slide through the first major support level at $15,743 and the second major support level at $15,429. Finding support late in the day Bitcoin broke back through the support levels to wrap up the day at $16,000 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $16,000 levels.

The “Mill Girls” of Lowell, Mass., made up 75% of all textile workers in the U.S. In the 1830s, they took jobs to put their brothers through college and feed their families. These young women, starting to work at age 15, were the fabric of their community’s economic production. It was the close-knit nature of their sisterhood that became what we now know as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the AFL-CIO.\nLabor has traditionally organized people in a common cause like union representation. Most of us have had to sell our labor for capital that someone else owns, giving us an incentive to work for common workplace standards. But that traditional labor-for-capital model has been joined by another driver of economic activity. Now our data is the labor that drives capital creation and distribution. And it’s time for us to take back what our communities are owed.\nJames Felton Keith is the author of “Inclusionism,” founding president of the Data Union, and advisory board member at the Streamr Network.\nRelated:Why Bitcoin Thrives (and Why It Won't Replace the Dollar)\nThe Lowell organizing efforts were notable not only for the “unfeminine” participation of women, but also for the political framework used to appeal to the public. They warned that “the oppressing hand of avarice would enslave us.” They used this sentiment in an 1836 strike song.\nOh! isn’t it a pity, such a pretty girl as I\nShould be sent to the factory to pine away and die?\nOh! I cannot be a slave, I will not be a slave,\nRelated:Crypto Execs Need Liability Insurance\nFor I’m so fond of liberty,\nThat I cannot be a slave.\nIn the modern era newspapers, NGOs and government officials from every continent are asking, “Are we slaves to big data?” Unlike the community of mill women, we’re not organizing for wages, not alone, we’re organizing for income based on the value of our community-of-participants. The thread of our data is the seminal input to every company’s productivity.\nLast week, I received a leaked copy of the forthcoming EuropeanData Governance Act(DGA). We anticipate some form of this legislation to pass the European Parliament in the March 2021 time frame. The legislation mentions “data unions” explicitly in sections 26 and 27.\n(26) An emerging variant are data cooperatives or data unions that seek to achieve a number of objectives…\n(27) …data cooperatives as intermediaries between data subjects and potential data users in the economy\nData unions (or cooperatives or collectives or communities) are a relatively new-old concept for a new natural resource: personal data. Unlike its wage-based rival of time, data is what economists call a non-rival good, meaning multiple users can consume it at once. Per the language of Europe’s recently enacted privacy regulation (GDPR) both data controllers (big tech platforms) and data processors (lil’ app companies) can generate value on data about you and your community alongside other firms, in the words of rapper Future,At The Same Damn Time.\nNow our data is the labor that drives capital creation and distr Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [10974.91, 10948.99, 10944.59, 11094.35, 10938.27, 10462.26, 10538.46, 10246.19, 10760.07, 10692.72, 10750.72, 10775.27, 10709.65, 10844.64, 10784.49, 10619.45, 10575.97, 10549.33, 10669.58, 10793.34, 10604.41, 10668.97, 10915.69, 11064.46, 11296.36, 11384.18, 11555.36, 11425.90, 11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49, 13950.30, 14133.71, 15579.85, 15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $11,537 as of 20:00 UTC (4 p.m. ET). Gaining 1.5% over the previous 24 hours. Bitcoin’s 24-hour range: $11,249-$11,543 BTC above its 10-day and 50-day moving averages, a bullish signal for market technicians. Bitcoin’s price is on the rise Thursday, moving from a mostly flat trend to hit as high as $11,543 on spot exchanges such as Bitstamp. It was changing hands at $11,537 as of press time. The move upward arrives as the world’s oldest cryptocurrency has struggled to stay above $11,500 since Oct. 13. Andrew Tu, an executive at trading firm Efficient Frontier, said this phenomenon, often known as “resistance” where traders take profits, creates sell momentum and holds back bitcoin from pushing higher. Related: Bitcoin Price Dips 3% on OKEx News, Analysts Aren't Too Worried “There is significant resistance past $11,400,” Tu told CoinDesk. “It may be that we fail to stay above $11,500 and begin to range from $10,500-$11,400.” With the exception of a quick bounce to as high as $11,730 on Oct. 13, bitcoin has been in $11,400-$11,500 territory most of the past week. “Looking back at 2020 so far, bitcoin is on a nice and steady walk upwards,” said Henrik Kugelberg, an over-the-counter crypto trader based in Sweden. “It is very fortunate that we have bitcoin to look at when most other macro things look gloomy, to say the least.” Read More: World’s Growing Stockpile of Negative-Yielding Debt a Positive for Bitcoin BItcoin is trouncing traditional investment hedges such as gold and even silver.

Related: Is Crypto Converging With Public Markets? “There will always be plunges, bull runs and plateaus with bitcoin,” Kugelberg added. “But I am confident we have not seen all the effects of the amazing developments in and around bitcoin.” One of these developments has been the increasing number of publicly traded companies holding some bitcoin as a reserve asset, something Kugelberg sees as a bullish driver. Story continues Efficient Frontier’s Tu sees significant upside if bitcoin can get over the $12,000 price point. “If we do successfully break $12,000 we could see BTC sharply rise, as there are few historical resistance lines past this point,” he added.

In what is being one of the most polarising elections in US history, president Donald Trump will take on Democrat hopeful Joe Biden on November 3. A negative reaction to the result in traditional markets will increase demand for safe haven assets like gold and Bitcoin, although it must be stated that Bitcoin has shown signs of correlation with the stock market in 2020. Andrew Maguire, precious metals specialist at Kinesis , said: “Potential outcomes of the upcoming US elections are driving safe-haven demand. Uncertainty around factors such as candidates’ regulatory and tax policies could spark negative reactions from traditional market players, driving more investors towards gold and silver. U.S. Futures Rise on Stimulus Hope; Bonds Fall: Markets Wrap. We see nothing big coming before US election! Don’t get trapped #SPX #GOLD #SILVER https://t.co/NadJ98Epeb — Ravi (@BullvsBears) October 19, 2020 “Elsewhere, market volatility has been exacerbated recently when President Trump tested positive for COVID-19. With the gold price rising following the black swan event, we expect gold to gain strength amid such uncertainty.” Both Trump and Biden have remained fairly impartial and diplomatic on the topic of cryptocurrencies, but with increased attention surrounding global CBDCs and institutional inflow into Bitcoin, the two candidates may be forced into taking a strategic approach next term. At the time of writing Bitcoin is trading 191.22% higher than its yearly low at $11,672, while gold is forming a bullish pennant at $1,909, which was its previous all-time high dating back to 2011.

I've known about btc for quite a while, somewhere around 2012 my buddy used to mine it and I thought oh thats cool and moved on. Flash forward years later I watched what happened in 2017 and started doing research. When it crashed from 2017s peak I wanted to buy some so bad, but I have been poor literally my entire adult life. I started working in social work in my early 20s, specifically in rehabs and addiction treatment centers. I worked in ethical ones and never was able to really pull ahead financially. Anyways, I landed a good job in 2019 after years of grinding and around the same time stumbled into a small sum of money (literally massive amount to me but small comparitively.) I started researching btc again because the gains caught my eye but the tech and ideology made a believer out of me. Anyways covid hit and btc dumped to around 4k and I committed as big as I could. I had to cash some out recently (don't trip im still holding id never sell it all lol) to buy my girlfriend of five years a ring. We've been together almost five years and has had my back on everything thick and thin. She used to help me out when I didn't have enough to pay the bills, and thanks to bitcoin I was finally able to afford to give her a ring that she absolutely loves. On top of that, btc has also given me the ability to buy that ring, and still be financially stable! I'll keep dcaing and hope to get the amount of btc back, but God damn did it feel good to be able to, finally after years of waiting, gain financial independence and give her the gift she deserves.

Today's Key News: ['Twitter has named a new head of security a few months after the website had to deal with the Bitcoin hack that compromised a number of high-profile accounts. The company hired Peiter Zatko, more widely known by his hacker name “Mudge,” to lead its security efforts. According to CNBC , he’s expected to take over after a 45- to 60-day review of the platform’s current measures and practices, and he’ll report directly to CEO Jack Dorsey. Mudge used to work on security research for Google’s Advanced Technologies and Projects Group. Before that, he worked for DARPA where he oversaw several programs, including one focused on detecting cyber espionage. He also created the framework that the Defense Department used to research areas and investments to pursue when it comes to cybersecurity. More recently, he served as head of security at electronic payments service Stripe. Looks like the cat is out of the bag. I’m very excited to be joining the executive team at Twitter! I truly believe in the mission of (equitably) serving the public conversation. I will do my best! https://t.co/ZQkhYTXLQZ — Mudge (@dotMudge) November 16, 2020 In an interview with CNBC , Mudge said he will examine Twitter’s "information security, site integrity, physical security, platform integrity -- which starts to touch on abuse and manipulation of the platform -- and engineering." Based on the additional details he told the news organization, he’ll also work on improving public conversations on Twitter and will be implementing some unconventional security approaches. He said he appreciates Twitter’s openness to his unusual methods, including his proposal to confuse bad actors by manipulating the data they may get from the platform on how users interact with posts. Twitter suffered a massive breach last July that saw hackers take over some of the most prominent accounts on the website, including Barack Obama’s, Joe Biden’s, Elon Musk’s, Bill Gates’, Uber’s, Apple’s and Kanye West’s. The attackers then posted a call for Bitcoin donations using the accounts they hijacked. According to the company, the hackers targeted some of its employees with access to its internal systems and tools and used social engineering to gain entry with their credentials. The 17—year—old from Tampa that was eventually arrested for the attack previously got caught for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoins. Former Facebook chief security officer Alex Stamos told CNBC that “the data breach this summer was an important reminder of how far Twitter needs to go in building some of the basic security functions necessary to run a service targeted by adversaries much more skilled than the teenagers arrested for that incident.” He also said that Mudge is perfect for the role, seeing as Twitter doesn’t have the money bigger companies like Google do and needs to “find creative solutions to these problems” This article contains affiliate links; if you click such a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.

Bitcoin prices had surged from under $2,000 in July 2017 to nearly $20,000. The world was introduced to the crypto millionaire, the millennial nerd who rolled the dice on Bitcoin early and now roamed the streets in a Lamborghini. Everybody wanted in on the action, but when the bubble burst, the carnage lined the streets. You don't have to have a gambler’s risk tolerance or be a cryptocurrency expert to profit from the boom in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and others. You don't even have to believe in the long-term sustainability of any of these coins. You just have to recognize the game and figure out a way to profit from the underlying technology. That underlying technology, which powers every cryptocurrency on Earth, is the blockchain. If you've been paying attention to the headlines, you'll see that central banks and major retail banks alike have changed their tune about cryptocurrencies. Initially, they scoffed and called them irrelevant. But recently, the discussion has shifted and now they are acknowledging the threat cryptocurrencies cause to their businesses. What they're really saying is that blockchain is revolutionizing the way we account for data. It has already been several months since Facebook proposed Libra coin. PayPal’s recent announcement giving customers the ability to buy and sell crypto is the latest big crypto news from a publicly traded company. This only adds to the legitimization of cryptocurrency as an asset class. Nowadays, crypto is not a pie-in-the-sky idea, it’s a major financial asset which poses a significant threat to traditional payments businesses. What is the Blockchain? In the digital world, a block is a digital list of records, acting as a ledger that can contain information of any kind. When these blocks are linked together, they are secured by cryptography to form the blockchain. This blockchain is an unforgeable record of all the transactions that is replicated on every computer on the network. If information in a new block can't be verified by all the other blocks in the chain, it is discarded. In the case of the top cryptocurrencies, a currency's network consists of millions and millions of computers all over the world. This makes it unhackable, as a hacker would need to hack all that computing power simultaneously, a seemingly impossible task. Continued . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10X Bigger Than the Internet Zacks targets big gains from the innovative businesses behind blockchain – the emerging "Internet of Money." As this technology grows an estimated +1,300% by 2023, shareholders in these companies could make life-changing gains without speculating on volatile cryptocurrencies. According to government sources, blockchain technology is "10 times more valuable than the internet." And just like the early days of internet stocks, the profit potential is tremendous. This is your chance to see our top picks to tap this phenomenon. See our blockchain stocks now >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I already know I've lost some people, but please stay with me. At this point the question within this topic is typically: What does blockchain have to do with currency? Everything. But to understand we have to separate our thought of cryptos from traditional fiat currency. While fiat currency is used to buy cryptocurrency, once bought, cryptos stand on their own. In addition, the smart contract (more on this later) aspect allows cryptos to be much more than an exchange of cash, they are an exchange of value. In a sense, these currencies are the "Internet of Value". To simplify, the blockchain is a public registry of assets and transactions that tells us who owns what. These transactions are often referred to as smart contracts, as they are recording a contract between two people, whether it be a transfer of currency, or a good or service. You can see how this new innovation could be disruptive to traditional businesses out there. Rather than lament this potential disruption, you are in the unique position to profit from it. How you ask? By investing in the various areas of the market where the blockchain is making noise. There are several different angles here. The "Picks and Axes": During the gold rush, the ones who really got rich were the ones selling the picks and axes. That is, the companies which provided the tools for the speculators to go out and try to find their fortunes. In the cryptocurrency world, this refers to the companies which make the chips and hardware used for mining operations. Consulting: There will be a wave of companies looking for ways to incorporate blockchain technology into their existing businesses. Already, large consulting companies are beginning to offer services helping companies to integrate the new tech. Cloud Infrastructure: No other industry has been as dependent on the cloud for its development as blockchain has. The need to distribute a ledger across the world, with no centralized ownership or authority overseeing transactions plays into the strengths of the cloud. Companies which offer cloud-based hosting may suffer, while those which help facilitate this decentralized network will benefit greatly. Payment Processing: Among the most disruptive industries for blockchain is payment processing. Rather than your traditional financial intermediary, blockchain technology allows for a distributed, open, public ledger where transactions are confirmed by other nodes in the chain for a fee that's much smaller than your typical fees coming from more traditional processors. Lending: We are just at the tip of the iceberg here on lending. Blockchain tech is perfect for lending, allowing lenders to spread their risk across thousands of loans in an instant, no matter the size of the lender. Trading Floors: The legitimization of bitcoin continues as futures contracts have started trading on two large exchanges in the US. Miners: The miners are the most important part of any blockchain and likely the most misunderstood. Miners confirm transactions from node to node by solving the cryptographic problem and are then rewarded in units of the cryptocurrency. Already we are seeing companies which "mine" cryptocurrency publicly traded. These companies mine the currency then immediately sell them on the open market and pass through the gains to shareholders. Think of them as you would a pipeline company in the energy sector. These companies are small now but could become much larger in time. Investors/BDC: Some publicly traded companies are acting as incubators for other budding cryptocurrencies. We talk bitcoin a lot but there are over 1,300 other cryptocurrencies in the world. These investors and business development companies invest in promising crypto companies before they hit the mainstream. ETFs: Already there are ETFs which buy stocks with blockchain exposure, however, soon there will be officially regulated ETFs for bitcoin and Ethereum. These ETFs will move dollar for dollar with an index, not trade at huge premiums to the underlying cryptocurrency like the ones available on the market today. There are many more companies on the way but how will you know how to separate the pretenders from the contenders? Which of these emerging companies will be built on solid technology and which will be gimmicks? Just like the Dot Com Bubble brought with it several names which added ".com" to their names to get in on the action, companies are adding "Blockchain" to their names, some in a very unscrupulous fashion.

Traditional investors have long wondered how to value bitcoin. Few have made headway: unlike stocks or commodities, cryptocurrencies have no earnings estimates or growth projections for investors to lean on. So, what drives bitcoin price? The answer may surprise investors because of what’s not included: gold and bitcoin mining supply. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Instead, bitcoin prices are controlled by three critical demand-side factors: Cryptocurrency demand Risk-taking appetite Technical factors Armed with the facts, we’ll examine how these factors will drive prices in 2021. And if you want to learn more about investing in bitcoin, learn more in my Ultimate Guide to Bitcoin . Why Bitcoin? Firstly, why should investors even consider bitcoin? Simple. $10,000 invested in bitcoin in 2015 would have turned to over $430,000 today. And more gains could still come. 7 Hot Food Stocks to Buy for Tasty Returns Bitcoin is now the world’s sixth-largest currency . It’s more widely circulated than the British pound and has a trading velocity six times the U.S. dollar . Bitcoin is also the primary currency of cryptocurrency developers, an essential step to getting venture capital (VC) dollars and attention . BTC Market Share on CoinMarketCap Source: Chart by InvestorPlace, Data courtesy of CoinMarketCap Bitcoin makes up the largest share of all crytocurrencies Now onto valuing bitcoin What Drives Bitcoin Price? Not fundamental valuations… Traditional investors have often tried to develop an “intrinsic value” of bitcoin by analyzing its supply. But that method misses one key fact: bitcoin’s supply remains relatively fixed because of its underlying code. The blockchain caps the maximum number of coins to 21 million. And a self-adjusting difficulty function means cryptocurrency miners have little effect on the speed of mining, unlike in gold or other producible commodities. BTC - Mining Difficulty Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Blockchain Charts Story continues So what drives bitcoin prices in the short-term? Driver 1: Cryptocurrency Demand What assets are bitcoin returns most correlated to? Other cryptocurrencies. Even though the three top cryptocurrencies (bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP)) run on fundamentally different technologies, correlations between them have jumped since 2017. Today, bitcoin has a 0.9 correlation with both Ethereum and XRP, meaning they move together 90% of the time. BTC - Graph of XRP ETH and Bitcoin Price Correlations Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Yahoo Finance Cryptocurrency correlations have risen over time Essentially, investors have started to view cryptocurrencies as a single asset class . Technology has undoubtedly played a helping hand. Gone are the days of setting up individual wallets for each currency. Coinbase and Robinhood , two major U.S. cryptocurrency platforms, now offer side-by-side comparisons of various coins. Investors can also easily buy index-linked products . Driver 2: Risk-taking appetite What about comparisons to gold? Do investors also see bitcoin as an inflation hedge and a safe-haven asset class? The data says “no.” Bitcoin returns are only 9% correlated with gold, a positive but relatively insignificant amount. Instead, the cryptocurrency has far more in common with risky assets. S&P 500: 22% correlation Junk Bonds: 19% correlation VIX (S&P volatility): -16% correlation (i.e., bitcoin prices decrease in volatile markets) So, contrary to common beliefs, bitcoin doesn’t act as a safe-haven asset. Instead, it does the opposite: its value tends to go up in confident bull markets and fall in fearful bearish ones. BTC - Graph of SNP and Bitcoin Price Returns Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Yahoo Finance Driver 3: Technical Factors Technical analysis requires less efficient markets to work. A study by the U.S. Federal Reserve found that technical analysis in the foreign exchange market worked during the 1970s and ’80s, but declined in the ’90s as information flows improved . Fortunately for cryptocurrency investors, BTC today still resembles the inefficient systems of the 1970s. Bitcoin trades on multiple disconnected exchanges, making it difficult to determine its exact price at any given moment. And investors still routinely accuse market makers of manipulating prices . These factors make trend-following an essential tool in tracking the self-reinforcing prophecies of bitcoin price. That’s meant technical strategies have worked on bitcoin . Below is a graph of RSI-14, a standard mean-reversion indicator. BTC - RSI Buy-Sell Signals Graph of Bitcoin Price Aug 2020 Source: Data courtesy of Yahoo Finance RSI-14 has performed well in tracking BTC buy and sell points An investor using these indicators would have generated 15% higher returns than buy-and-hold while invested just 40% of the time. A more aggressive approach would have pushed returns even higher. How to Invest in Bitcoin for 2021 Bitcoin’s three key drivers mean one thing for 2021: bitcoin prices will depend on the economy. Fast-improving economy. Cryptocurrency demand increases, risk-taking up, technical factors positive. Bitcoin rises to $15,000 – $20,000. Slowing economy. Lower cryptocurrency demand, flight to safety, negative technical factors. Bitcoin falls to RSI resistance levels of $5,800 – $9,000 Which path with bitcoin take? In an August research note, Goldman Sachs’ Global Research team struck an upbeat tone for the 2021 economy. “We now expect that at least one vaccine will be approved by the end of 2020 and will be widely distributed by the end of 2021Q2,” Goldman Sachs economist Joseph Briggs wrote . “We have incorporated this timeline as our baseline forecast, and now assume consumer services spending accelerates in the first half of 2021 as consumers resume activities that would previously have exposed them to Covid-19 risk.” If these expectations play out, bitcoin investors will see good times ahead. But if the economy suddenly grinds to a halt, then bitcoin price will certainly fall. Bitcoin Price Beyond 2021 As trading matures, technical factors will eventually take a backseat in determining bitcoin price. In their place, fundamental factors will start to take over: matters such as transaction fees, forks, user adoption, and the general demand for cryptocurrencies. My colleagues at InvestorPlace have a friendly bet: which will reach 40,000 first: bitcoin or the Dow Jones? And either could be right. But for 2021, how to invest in bitcoin remains clear. As political consultant James Carville once said, “it’s the economy, stupid.” On the date of publication, Tom Yeung did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['By Tom Wilson and Anna Irrera\nLONDON (Reuters) - With bitcoin surging to the cusp of its 2017 all-time high, backers are hoping fewer frenzied retail investors means less chance of a crash this time around.\nBut with little mainstream usage as a form of payment and global uncertainty clouding financial markets, bitcoin is still far from a safe bet, analysts said.\n"There are a lot of differences to what was happening before," said Larry Cermak, director of research at cryptocurrency media firm The Block.\n"The price has steadily increased, we are seeing very little retail participation and markets are much more liquid and much more accessible to institutional participants. For now, though, it\'s definitely not a safe investment, it\'s still very risky."\nBitcoin broke $18,000 (£13,549) on Wednesday to hit its highest since Dec. 2017, having soared about 160% this year.\nThe steep trajectory of its 2020 rally echoes that of 2017, when a retail-led buying spree pushed it to nearly $20,000, only to crash more than 50% a month later.\nUnlike 2017, however, the asset now boasts a functioning derivatives market and custody services by established financial institutions.\nThe value of open interest bitcoin futures at CME Group Inc crossed $1 billion this week for the first time since their launch in Dec. 2017, while positions across major options markets have grown to over $4 billion from virtually nothing in early 2019, according to crypto data provider Skew.\nMeanwhile large firms including Fidelity Investments and Japan\'s Nomura Holdings Inc have starting safeguarding bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies for institutional investors.\n"There\'s absolutely no comparison in terms of market maturity between this year and 2017," said Ryan Selkis, CEO of crypto data firm Messari. "Back then derivatives and credit markets barely existed (and) institutional custody didn\'t exist."\nThe emergence of this kind of infrastructure has made it easier for professional investors from hedge funds to family offices to seek exposure to crypto.\n"The accessibility has changed from three years ago so the types of players that are willing to go in has broadened," said Tim Swanson, head of market intelligence at blockchain software firm Clearmatics.\nTheir involvement, the argument goes, may lead to more liquidity and less volatility in prices.\nRegulation has also developed. While the cryptocurrency sector is still mostly lightly overseen or unregulated, global standards on areas such as anti-money laundering (AML) have emerged, opening the way for bigger investors.\nMainstream companies and governments are among those embracing digital coin technology.\nLast month, PayPal Holdings Inc said it would open up its platform to cryptocurrencies while rival Square Inc said it had invested 1% of its total assets in bitcoin.\nUnlike 2017, bitcoin\'s price has been supported by an appetite for riskier assets following government and central bank stimulus measures to combat the impact of COVID-19.\nBitcoin\'s supply is capped at 21 million, shielding it from policies that stoke inflation, proponents say.\nThe narrative has allowed "a wider group of investors, including those with a more fundamental mindset, to participate in price setting," said Richard Galvin of crypto fund Digital Asset Capital Management.\nYet for all the improvements in market structure and mainstream recognition, bitcoin remains highly volatile. The cryptocurrency sector is still more opaque and less regulated than mainstream financial markets. Trading data remains patchy and concerns over market manipulation are rife.\n"Long story short, it\'s still a risky market and a risky asset," said Colin Platt, a cryptocurrency consultant.\nAnd for all the hype, bitcoin remains seldom used for its intended purpose.\n"There is no guarantee that it will be used widely as \'money\' given the cost of mining and using bitcoins and the ease of using contactless payment cards or smartphones to facilitate electronic payment," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.\n(Reporting by Tom Wilson and Anna Irrera;Editing by Elaine Hardcastle)', 'Chipotle Mexican Grill is giving away $10,000 to anyone who can prove their go-to order is the best.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin, BTC to USD, rose by 0.25% on Thursday. Following on from a 0.56% gain on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $17,818.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $18,044.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $17,344.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $17,112, Bitcoin climbed to a mid-afternoon intraday high $18,166.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,443, however, Bitcoin slipped back to end the day at sub-$18,000. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest move through to $18,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,520 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.14%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.45%), Ethereum (-1.48%), and saw red on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Litecoin surged by 11.09% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.17%), Chainlink (+0.40%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.89%), Polkadot (+1.52%), and Ripple’s XRP (+3.42%) also joined Bitcoin in the green. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $445.47bn to a Wednesday high $514.87bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $493.44bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 65.43% before rising to a Wednesday high 67.46%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 67.12%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.08% to $17,833,0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $17,797.0 before rising to a high $17,934.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (-0.15%), Crypto.com Coin (-0.45%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.54%) struggled early on. Story continues It was a bullish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.07%) and Litecoin (+1.52%) led the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $17,776 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,208 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $18,166.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,598. Failure to avoid a fall through the $17,776 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,386 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer well clear of sub-$17,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $16,954.

The founder, who also goes by Star, said the investee was the target of a “complicated” legal case, without elaborating. Shares in listed affiliate OKG Technology Holdings Ltd. soared as much as 23% Friday in Hong Kong.\nThe well-known entrepreneur sent his message hours after OKEx announced it’s going to permit withdrawals of digital assets on or before Nov. 27. The Malta-based company halted withdrawals on Oct. 16 after an unidentified staffer with access to users’ accounts went incommunicado while cooperating with a police investigation, the exchange said at the time. OKG, in which Xu owns a controlling stake, said days later he was under probe by Chinese police.\n“The authorities have clarified the matter and proved me innocent,” Xu wrote Friday on his WeChat feed, which is visible only to select users. “In coming days, I’ll call on everyone who supported OK Group to express my gratitude.”\nRead more: Chinese Police Probe Halts Withdrawals at Crypto Giant OKEx\nIt’s unclear what deal Xu was referring to. OKG, which secured a backdoor listing in Hong Kong last year, has said the group wasn’t subject to any government probe.

An OKEx spokeswoman declined to comment on Xu, saying OKEx is a separate entity from the OK Group.\n“The issue that triggered OKEx to deploy the extraordinary security measure has since been resolved,” OKEx said in a Thursday statement. “All user funds can be withdrawn without restriction after withdrawals are reopened.”\nRead more: Frozen OKEx Crypto Traders Can Cash Out, But Would Pay a Price\nXu launched OKEx’s predecessor, OKCoin, in 2013 but later moved away from the exchange business, instead focusing on blockchain venture OK Group.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Call it the CPR after Operation Choke Point.\nThe U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a national bank regulator led by former Coinbase counsel Brian Books, has proposed a rule that would forbid banks to blacklist legal industries — including, presumably, cryptocurrency firms.\nUnder the proposed rule, banks could deny financial services to customers only on the basis of “quantitative, risk-based standards established in advance,” not in response to political pressures.\nRelated:Gemini Exchange Is Using ClearBank for UK Banking Services\nTheproposal, published Friday in the Federal Register, does not mention cryptocurrency. But it will likely come as welcome news to businesses in the space, which have long struggled to obtain or keep bank accounts in the U.S. Crypto firms have long relied on a handful of banks—Silvergate Bank, Signature Bank, and Metropolitan Commercial Bank among them—for basic banking needs.\nOn the other hand, if banks in the world’s largest economy were forbidden to discriminate against legitimate businesses, thenall else equal, it could, in theory, underminethe appealofpermissionless,censorship-resistant payment systemssuch asBitcoin.\nThe OCC proposal specifically mentionsOperation Choke Point, an Obama-era Justice Department initiative that was ostensibly meant to shut down only fraudulent businesses and payday lenders by pressuring banks to close their accounts. In practice, there appears to have beenwidespreadcollateraldamage.\n“Government agencies (but not the OCC) were revealed to have pressured banks to cut off access to financial services to disfavored (but not unlawful) sectors of the economy,” according to the OCC’s proposal. These included the firearm and coal industries.

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a national bank regulator led by former Coinbase counsel Brian Books, has proposed a rule that would forbid banks to blacklist legal industries — including, presumably, cryptocurrency firms. Under the proposed rule, banks could deny financial services to customers only on the basis of “quantitative, risk-based standards established in advance,” not in response to political pressures. Related: Gemini Exchange Is Using ClearBank for UK Banking Services The proposal , published Friday in the Federal Register, does not mention cryptocurrency. But it will likely come as welcome news to businesses in the space, which have long struggled to obtain or keep bank accounts in the U.S. Crypto firms have long relied on a handful of banks—Silvergate Bank, Signature Bank, and Metropolitan Commercial Bank among them—for basic banking needs. On the other hand, if banks in the world’s largest economy were forbidden to discriminate against legitimate businesses, then all else equal , it could, in theory, undermine the appeal of permissionless , censorship-resistant payment systems such as Bitcoin . The OCC proposal specifically mentions Operation Choke Point , an Obama-era Justice Department initiative that was ostensibly meant to shut down only fraudulent businesses and payday lenders by pressuring banks to close their accounts. In practice, there appears to have been widespread collateral damage . “Government agencies (but not the OCC) were revealed to have pressured banks to cut off access to financial services to disfavored (but not unlawful) sectors of the economy,” according to the OCC’s proposal. These included the firearm and coal industries. Operation Choke Point ended officially in late 2017, but financial intermediaries still receive pressure from politicians and the public to unbank industries or individuals deemed unsavory or problematic.

As of Wednesday, the mean fee per transaction, or the average transaction cost, was 0.00086764 BTC , the highest since June 2018, according to data source Glassnode . In dollar terms, the average transaction fee was $11.66. Average fees in bitcoin terms have increased by 573% in the past 12 days alongside the cryptocurrencys price rally from $11,200 to $13,800. Related: First Mover: Bitcoin Heads for 24% October Gain as US Election Countdown Begins Bitcoin mempool [memory pool] is back in focus in the wake of rising transaction volumes, causing congestion in the network and consequently driving fees higher, Denis Vinokourov, head of research at the London-based prime brokerage Bequant, told CoinDesk. Mempool is the collection of unconfirmed transactions. When bitcoin transactions are executed, they are first sent to the mempool, where they wait for approval by miners. Bitcoin miners can process only 1 megabyte (MB) worth of transactions per block mined roughly every 10 minutes. When the blockchain experiences a rise in traffic, it causes delays and a backlog of transactions. As demand outstrips supply, miners increase their revenue by prioritizing transactions with higher fees. That, in turn, forces other users to offer higher fees to avoid long waiting times. Network congestion is usually seen during price rallies. As noted earlier, bitcoin has chalked out a significant rise over the past 12 days. During that time frame, network congestion, as measured by the total number of unconfirmed transactions in the mempool, worsened by 1,800%. Related: Bitcoin Traders Can Now Bet on $40K Price With New Deribit Options As of Tuesday, there were 121,340 unconfirmed transactions in the mempool with a total block size of 66.8 MB. According to data source blockchain.com, thats the highest level since the bull market frenzy of December 2018. Story continues Hashrate drop contributes to congestion The recent slide in bitcoins hashrate looks to have played a big role in causing network congestion along with a general price-driven pickup in activity. In other words, the mining power dedicated to approving transactions and mining blocks has gone down amid the price rally, boosting waiting times and network congestion. The seven-day moving average of bitcoins hashrate has declined from 146 exahashes per second (EH/s) to 120 EH/s. In other words, the mining power available to approving transactions and mining blocks has gone down amid the price rally, boosting waiting times and network congestion. With the end of the rainy season in Chinas Sichuan province, a mining hub, some miners may be shifting to other areas with cheap hydroelectricity sources, causing a drop in the hashrate.

Few years later, Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) trustee estimated actual losses to investors of $18 billion. It is reason why i am posting this as hopefully i will save few people from losing their money in the coming years by investing into cryptocurrencies.\n\nI will keep it short and simple and not go much into technical details, but i assure you anyone willing to google, there is plenty of detailed proof and research into the topic.\n\nBitcoin price has increased through this year mainly only because the fact that there is a mechanism in which dollar "equivalent", called tether, which is almost entirely unpacked by fiat (unofficial claim by tether treasury is, that they are packed by dollar equivalent, which in this case means bitcoin itself, which is ridiculous in itself), is being used to prop up the price of bitcoin by buying it off all the major exchanges, such as Binance, Huobi, Coinbase, Kraken etc. There is hardly any real retail interest and all the major counter points, used by the crypto community (such as insitutional demand, billionaires buying before you, Paypal, Square, Micro etc) is all smoke and mirrors, in hopes that retail will come and buy into the ponzi pyramid.\n\nWhy i mentioned Madoff, is because just few days back, total tether in circulation also crossed the SIPC mentioned $18B, currently already at $18.4B. This year alone so called Tether Treasury has issued >14B new tethers, claiming exponential increase in demand. As a comparison, at the peak of the 2017 crypto mania, there were only total of 1.4B printed through whole year. And tether is only one of the quite a few noteworthy other stablecoins, which i wont go into currently, but they also feed into the loop/system, of proping up the price. Simple example being DEFI, where Ethereum is being used as an collateral, for person to take out a loan in so called stable coins, which then on majority of cases, is used again to purchase even more ethereum. In Laymans terms, being used as a simple leverage multiplier tool with interest payment. But is defined by community, as somewhat of a groundbreaking new invention. Which i agree, it somewhat would be, if used for the real world purposes, not as a simple leverage tool.\n\nHere is a chart i put together, which should make it rather obvious for anyone taking a quick look.\n\nIt includes last 4 years of bitcoin price, tether printing and retail interest on one chart:\n\n[https://imgur.com/i78BTXg](https://imgur.com/i78BTXg)\n\nI will also leave you with a comic strip, that i had made, which describes the last 4 years of Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency asset class) tether addiction:\n\n[https://imgur.com/fPDm2VX](https://imgur.com/fPDm2VX)\n\nPS I just want to add, that in my opinion, main issue with bitcoin and all of cryptocurrency space is more precisely what it has become, a big ponzi pyramid. On top of that, tether treasury (and those involved) has completely taken over the space and what they are doing, will eventually leave many people financially ruined (because they do not any better or know, but still are willing to risk) and unfortunately them probably much more rich.\n\nI must add, that i would be significantly more acceptable with this global huge economy project/test, if it would lead its way in natural course, without middleman mafia, which currently, in Laymans terms, pumps the price with nothing but air, to eventually sell to a greater fool. If it would naturally succeed, as in new age gold 2.0, more gradually, actually being implemented into payment/financial systems etc, actually represent the alternative to government money, money for people, i would be alot more comfortable to let it run its course and see if it perhaps succeeds.\n\nBitcoin has lost all of what it was supposed to represent and where it was supposed to develop as a technology. There are many reasons why it has gone as such, it is not really topic to discuss here.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/', 'jylc71', [['u/redditspeechcensor', 23, '2020-11-22 03:02', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/gd58t59/', 'I guess this guy is going to be standing on the sidelines as bitcoin hits 300-500k soon like Wall Street analysts have suggested.', 'jylc71'], ['u/velvetlicker', 45, '2020-11-22 03:22', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/gd5c86e/', 'Lol see you from the moon', 'jylc71'], ['u/pnwmike', 15, '2020-11-22 03:31', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/jylc71/bernie_madoff_and_bitcoin/gd5drcd/', 'Tether market cap is ~$18.5 like you said.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin Bitcoin rallied by 15.20% in the week ending 22 nd November. Following a 3.00% gain from the week prior, Bitcoin ended the week at $18,392.0. It was a bullish week. Bitcoin rallied from a Monday intraweek low $15,874.0 to a Saturday intraweek high and a new swing hi $18,945.0. The rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $16,684 and the second major resistance level at $17,402. Coming up against resistance at $19,000, however, Bitcoin fell back on Sunday to end the week at sub-$18,500 levels. 5 days in the green that included a 5.72% rally on Tuesday and a 4.73% gain on Friday delivered the upside for the week. For the week ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through $17,737 pivot to support a run at the first major resistance level at $19,600. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week\x92s high $18,945.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $20,808. Failure to avoid a fall through the $17,737 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,529 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$16,000 support levels. The second major support level sits at $14,666. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.95% to $18,217.0.

It\'s a wager that has drawn eye-rolls from skeptics who believe the volatile cryptocurrency is a speculative asset rather than a store of value like gold. Since January, bitcoin has gained 160%, bolstered by strong institutional demand as well as scarcity as payment companies such as Square and Paypal buy it on behalf of customers. Bitcoin is within sight of its all-time peak of just under $20,000 hit in December 2017. It debuted in 2011 at zero and was last trading at $18,415 . Going from $18,000 to $100,000 in one year is not a stretch, Brian Estes, chief investment officer at hedge fund Off the Chain Capital, said. "I have seen bitcoin go up 10X, 20X, 30X in a year. So going up 5X is not a big deal." Estes predicts bitcoin could hit between $100,000 and $288,000 by end-2021, based on a model that utilizes the stock-to-flow ratio measuring the scarcity of commodities like gold. That model, he said, has a 94% correlation with the price of bitcoin. Citi technical analyst Tom Fitzpatrick said in a note last week that bitcoin could climb as high as $318,000 by the end of next year, citing its limited supply, ease of movement across borders, and opaque ownership. Those numbers though are a head-scratcher for Toronto-based Kevin Muir, an independent proprietary trader. "Any hedge fund model on bitcoin is rubbish. You can\'t model a mania," Muir said. "Is it plausible? For sure. It\'s a mania. But does anyone actually have a clue? Not a chance." DEARTH OF SUPPLY Bitcoin relies on so-called "mining" computers that validate blocks of transactions by competing to solve mathematical puzzles every 10 minutes. The first to solve the puzzle and clear the transaction is rewarded new bitcoins. Its technology was designed to cut the reward for miners in half every four years, a move meant to curb inflation. In May, bitcoin went through a third "halving," which reduced the rate at which new coins are created, restricting supply. That halving has kickstarted bitcoin\'s renewed ascent. Square\'s Cash App and PayPal, which recently launched a crypto service to its more than 300 million users, have been scooping up all new bitcoins, hedge fund Pantera Capital said in its letter to investors on Friday. That has caused a bitcoin shortage and has driven the rally in the last few weeks. BIG FUNDS BUYING? The so-called whale index, which counts addresses or wallets holding at least 1,000 bitcoins, is at an all-time high, said Phil Bonello, research director at digital asset manager Grayscale. Bonello said more than 2,200 addresses were linked to large bitcoin holders, up 37% from 1,600 in 2018, suggesting that institutional money has stormed in. Investors like Stanley Druckenmiller, founder of hedge fund Duquesne Capital, and Rick Rieder, BlackRock Inc\'s chief investment officer of global fixed income, have recently touted bitcoin. Retail investors though are still mostly sidelined due to the pandemic\'s effect on the economy. But with the entry of Square and PayPal, Lennard Neo, head of research at crypto index fund provider Stack Funds, expects a deluge of retail demand more intense than in 2017. Neo forecasts bitcoin to reach $60,000-$80,000 by the end of 2021. Tempus Inc currency trader Juan Perez was unimpressed, even shocked, with all the lofty forecasts and said a bet on bitcoin at $100,000 next year would be a bet on the collapse of the global financial system. "Governments around the world won\'t let that happen. They will not let fiat currencies collapse just like that," Perez said.

The Silvergate Exchange Network added another exchange member. Riot Blockchain, a publicly traded bitcoin mining firm, recorded bumper revenues with plans to expand. Billionaire’s bitcoinBillionaire U.S. investor Stanley Druckenmiller, who just weeks ago was said to be shorting the dollar, islong on bitcoin. In a Monday CNBC appearance, Druckenmiller disclosed a bitcoin position significantly smaller than his gold horde. However, he predicts bitcoin will outperform gold in the long run – largely due to millennial and Silicon Valley attraction to the crypto scene. “Frankly, if the gold bet works the bitcoin bet will probably work better because it’s thinner, more illiquid and has a lot more beta to it,” he said. Drunkenmiller made headlines last week for his bearish views on the U.S. dollar, which he suspects will decline for the next three to four years. Botched BSVA protocol change in at least one Bitcoin SV (BSV) multisig wallet hascrippled securityand led to lost customer funds. Bitcoin Core developer Gregory Maxwell found that after BSV developers removed a proven transaction script and replaced it with an outdated version, one wallet manufacturer’s home-brewed hash function has serious security flaws. The ElectrumSV wallet’s so-called “accumulator multi-sig” function cancels transfers if more than the minimum number of keys sign a transaction and, perhaps more dangerously, enables anyone to access multi-sig funds “with too few signatures (such as none at all).” One BSV user, Aaron Zhou, lost 600 BSV to an attack exploiting this weakness. Related:First Mover: Bitcoin Needs No Vaccine as Druckenmiller Lays Down 'Better Bet' Legal maneuversLawyers are looking toditch Reginald Fowler– accused of running a “shadow banking” service for cryptocurrency exchanges – as a client, according to court documents. Fowler and partner Ravid Yosef, who remains at large, stand accused of opening bank accounts with various financial institutions to illegally store funds. The partners’ bank, Crypto Capital, is further tied up in a $850 million black hole of crypto funds that went missing from the Bitfinex exchange in 2019. In October, Fowler considered reopening plea bargain talks. Fowler’s lawyers gave no explicit reason for wanting to withdraw from the case. SEN zenBinance.US is the latest U.S. exchange tojoin the SilvergateExchange Network (SEN). The 24/7 instant settlement network allows crypto exchanges to move cash between themselves, replacing slower wire transfers, at any time of day. Gemini, Kraken and ErisX are all participants in the service, which saw $17.4 billion in first quarter volume. “We’ve launched SEN for our corporate clients so now they’re able to move dollars through Silvergate around the clock, instantaneously,” Binance.US CEO Catherine Coley said. “It’s a huge advantage for clients that are trying to get funds into Binance.US to be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, and we’re excited to see the impact on the rest of our liquidity.” Riot’s returnsRiot Blockchain recorded over$2.4 million in mining revenuein Q3, a 42% increase year over year, according to the publicly traded firm’s latest corporate filing, though it is operating with a quarterly $1.7 million net loss. Having mined 222 BTC (a 41% bump from the same period last year), Riot’s corporate cryptocurrency liquidity grew from $7.2 million in Q2 to $9 million in Q3. And with $30.1 million in cash reserves, Riot is looking to expand its fleet of Bitmain S19-Pro mining machines. Riot shares traded hands at $3.50 at Monday’s close, up 32% from the start of Q4. They’ve risen more than 200% year to date. • Obsessively checking prices. Rabbit holes of crypto content. All-night trading sessions. Jeff Wilser presents the face of crypto addiction.

(Bloomberg) Trend linesCoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole examines three major trends contributing tobitcoin’s two-month-long rally. Having peaked at 33-month highs near $16,000, experts are citing increased institutional participation (high-net-worth individuals such as investor Stanley Druckenmiller and publicly traded firms Square and MicroStrategy), a supply crunch (huge spot market buys from retail investors and funds like Grayscale’s GBTC trust have significantly reduced bitcoin supply, driving up the price); and technical analysis to explain bitcoin’s rise. (Grayscale, like CoinDesk, is a unit of DCG.) Related:Blockchain Bites: Figure Files for Banking Charter, Cred for Bankruptcy Regulatory matters“Regulators are slow and there’s a reason we’re slow,” Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) member Hester Peirce said yesterday at CoinDesk’s Bitcoin for Advisors virtual event. “We need to have [a] process in place so that we make sure when we’re changing rules people have notice that we’re thinking aboutchanging a rule and they can comment,” she said. When confronted with the quickly evolving crypto landscape, however, Peirce said the agency could do more to be proactive. Noting it is less top-heavy than it appears, Pierce said the SEC’s five commissioners usually defer to the agency’s staff to approve or disapprove novel products like exchange-traded funds (ETF). In one such example of this arrangement, yesterday the SEC’s Division of Investment Management issued a letter seeking comment on an expanded definition of a “qualified custodian.” In response to the Wyoming Division of Banking’s recent decision to affirm the wealth management firm Two Ocean Trust as a qualified custodian eligible to custody digital assets for its clients, the SEC is now asking questions. Traditionally, qualified custodians were limited to banks, registered broker-dealers and certain derivatives merchants, all subject to stringent regulation. Now, with at least one state granting a public trust company qualified custodian status under state law, the federal watchdog is looking to add clarity to the definition. Industry publicationDecryptwrites: “The SEC’s letter asks for public comments on a variety of questions, for example, who’s been left out of the qualified custodian definition that should be in? Who’s in, who should be out? And, importantly, do state-chartered trust companies like Two Ocean have the same characteristics as banks?” Depending on where the SEC lands, this could open the door for other public trust companies – like pensions, endowments and foundations, Caitlin Long, head of Avanti said – to enter the crypto fold. As Peirce said yesterday: “There are circumstances where we have a framework at the SEC that was built in the 1930s and 1940s and added on over time,” she said. “Certainly now that we’re seeing what’s happening in the crypto space, for example, there are areas we are going to have to make adjustments and I do think we should move faster … I’m impatient there.” • Blockchain Bites: Billionaire Bullish on Bitcoin, Updates on Fowler’s Crypto Capital Case and More • Blockchain Bites: Billionaire Bullish on Bitcoin, Updates on Fowler’s Crypto Capital Case and More... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/yukeiw', 'Reminder to be nice to the new wave of newbies', 423, '2020-11-25 00:01', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/k0fwh1/reminder_to_be_nice_to_the_new_wave_of_newbies/', "With the current price closing in on the ATH.

It outlines three “cycles” the crypto industry already had –– “periods of high activity” in 2011, 2013, and 2017, followed by the so-called “crypto winters.” The first cycle took place in 2009-2012, according to a16z, with Bitcoin reaching $30 in June 2011, for the first time in history. The second cycle happened in 2012-2016, with its peak in 2013, which the report describes as “probably the first time most people outside of tech heard about Bitcoin.” During this time, a lot of startups were founded, and the ecosystem started developing. The Bitcoin price briefly touched the $1,100 mark in December 2013. 2016-2019\xa0is the time where the industry started gaining mainstream attraction, peaking in December 2017, when the price of Bitcoin reached $20,000. The\xa0third cycle is also characterized by “x10” growth in the number of developers coming into space and companies founded. Why It Matters: Crypto prices have always been perceived as volatile and hardly systematic, and Andreessen Horowitz has attempted to provide “an underlying order.” A16z believes the the digital currency space is in "fourth major phase" at the moment. The venture capital veteran has bet\xa0on the crypto space with investments in companies like Coinbase , the biggest US crypto exchange, Facebook’s Libra , and a decentralized credit platform MakerDAO.

Bitcoin, the world\'s biggest cryptocurrency, slumped as much as 13% to its lowest since Nov. 16. It was last down 9% at $17,074, a sharp correction from its three-year high of $19,521 hit on Wednesday. It has rallied around 140% this year to just shy of its all-time high of $19,666, fuelled by demand for riskier assets, a perception it is resistant to inflation, and expectations cryptocurrencies will win mainstream acceptance. The second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, dropped around 13% and XRP, the third-biggest, slid over 20%. Both coins, which tend to move in tandem with bitcoin, hit multi-year highs earlier this week. Bitcoin\'s 12-year history has been peppered with vertiginous gains and equally sharp drops. It volatility has hampered use for payments and made many larger investors wary. Backers hoped than in 2020 a more mature market and fewer retail investors have lowered the chances of the kind of crash that followed its 2017 bubble. Graphic: Bitcoin rally stutters - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/jbyvredampe/bitcoin.PNG Traders cited for the drop the unwinding of highly leveraged positions built up as bitcoin approached its record, as well as tweets by the CEO of major cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase expressing concern at rumours of a regulatory crackdown. "There\'s definitely been a sense of euphoria in markets over the last couple of days," said Joseph Edwards of crypto brokerage Enigma Securities. "This mostly feels like a reaction to that - over-leveraged markets took one small hit and suffered immensely." A functioning cryptocurrency derivatives market has developed since 2017, with offshore exchanges offering highly leveraged positions. In times of thin liquidity, moves in such markets can have an outsize effect on bitcoin\'s price.

The biggest cryptocurrency by market value has risen by 3.5% to levels above $11,000 in the past 24 hours, confirming an upside break of a narrowing price range represented by trendlines connecting Sept. 19 and Oct. 1 highs and Sept. 8 and Sept. 23 lows. Bitcoin is currently trading near $11,050 up 6% from lows below $10,400 seen earlier this month and the highest level since Sept. 20, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index . While the recovery and the range breakout looks impressive, chart analysts and traders say $11,200 is now the level to beat for the bulls. We consider the breakout of the Sept. 19 high of $11,200 to be a more significant catalyst for further upside, Lennard Neo, head of research at Stack Funds, told CoinDesk. He added the price range of $10,000 to $11,200 may hold until more clarity surfaces going into November U.S. elections. Bitcoins rejection near $11,200 on Sept. 19 was followed by a four-day sell-off to $10,200. In other words, the cryptocurrency established a lower high (marked by a circle in the chart above) at $11,200 a bearish pattern. As such, a break above $11,200 would be more credible evidence of a bullish breakout, as pointed out by Neo. Meanwhile, Simon Peters, a crypto market analyst at investment platform eToro, said bitcoin needs to hold or establish a new base above $11,000, in which case it could make a move toward the next psychological hurdle at $12,000. Thats because bitcoin failed multiple times in mid-September to absorb selling pressure above $11.000. And while Neo and Peters remain cautious, Phillip Gillespie, CEO of the over-the-counter liquidity provider B2C2 Japan is foreseeing a pick up in volatility in the near term, as U.S. elections, a large systematic risk even, are scheduled for Nov. 4. If we werent weeks away from the U.S. election, I would think we have a bullish setup in bitcoin, Gillespie said while sharing his view on Thursdays triangle breakout.

I read this forum every day. I always dreamed of writing one of these posts and honestly didn\'t have a particular milestone planned for it but today I surpassed a personal net worth of $1 million dollars for the first time and the inspiration struck as I was going through my calculations. So, here I am. Get ready to see every stereotype rolled into one in this post so just buckle the fuck up. Shoutout to /r/fijerk.\n\nNow... the goods. Current rounded breakdowns of my personal net worth:\n\n$85,000 cash\n\n$15,000 car equity\n\n$130,000 real estate equity\n\n$10,000 in bonds (mutual funds)\n\n$390,000 in stock (mutual funds)\n\n$270,000 in individual stocks (small positions in tech that grew exponentially - mainly Tesla \\shocked Pikachu face\\)\n\n$100,000 in crypto (small investment that grew exponentially)\n\nTotal: approximately $1,000,000\n\nHow? Tons of amazing opportunity, a genuine love of technology (and great jobs in the tech industry), a ton of luck, steadfast frugality, and relentless investing... Step by step:\n\n1. Graduated college in 2011 without debt due to choosing a state school, financial aid, scholarships, family support, and a couple summer internships (one unpaid, two paid). \n2. 10 years in the tech industry. Started strong ($72,000 a year total compensation), moved companies three times, and was promoted once. Current compensation is now $150,000 a year after all that. I have never taken more than 1 week off between jobs and always had the next thing lined up.\n3. I watched all the people my age at the tech companies I worked for spend money on eating out, fancy apartments, brand-new cars. I got a low-end apartment with roommates even after I got my first real job. Most my happiness came from spending time with my frugal spouse, playing sports, basic tech items like phones/video games, and my dog that I got after 1 year working. I still ate very cheaply and never ordered alcohol out. This left lots of money for maxing all my tax advantaged accounts, further index fund stock investing, and then that 5% or so for the high risk "fun" investments that I happened to hit on.\n4. I read about technology every day for fun via a simple news aggregator. I scan the headlines and then usually end up reading 3-4 articles a day that interest me. I always try and think about what will affect the world the most and how it will do so... and whether or not there is an investing angle that the general public isn\'t yet privy to. \n5. Put most my money in 100% stock index funds as I started out as kind of an aggressive boglehead and still am in a lot of ways. As years passed I put 5% or so into "fun"/high risk investing when I saw something cool crop up. Learned about crypto in late 2013 during the bull run up to $1,000. Invested a tiny bit of money in bitcoin near the top there and got burned - watched the price cut in half. Doubled down and never looked back (wish I had continued to dollar cost average but c\'est la vie). 3 years later I finally crossed into the profitable range but continued to hold! I am a Tesla fan so over the last few years I have slowly thrown a few hundred dollars into $TSLA here and there for fun once my retirement accounts were all maxed out for the year. Looked at it as a potential charitable investment to try and help the environment and also maybe a fun fund to buy a cool car someday if it did well. Watched it stagnate for years and then eventually now this huge run-up has propelled my net worth substantially (better make the post quick before the 7 figures NW goes away!!!).\n\nAlright... so... what? Are my take-a-ways going to be that different than everyone else\'s? Not really but here is my spin on it anyways.\n\n1. You don\'t have to fit in with the crowd. I am a FIRE zealot amongst my friends and that provides an interesting perspective in the corporate world. I always try to pay my own way and (especially now) find times to be generous, but I also try and steer my friends to make responsible financial choices and overall it has been good for my social relationships.\n2. Your spouse is going to almost assuredly be the most important person in your life. I met my significant other at a young age. When we were in college, we had no money so we got used to spending nothing and still enjoying each other\'s company. She is frugal too and has her own story to share. She has quite the impressive portfolio and net worth herself and we have ultimately bonded over money. It is amazing to have a hard working and financially supportive partner. \n3. Most hobbies can be accomplished within very reasonable budgets if you plan well and only purchase things you are really going to use. Animals are awesome. Sports are fun. Music is amazing. Video games can provide near infinite entertainment. There are a lot of cool things to spend your time on that are cheap per hour of entertainment provided (and aren\'t $10 drinks at the bar). Even if you love the bars, you can go to most bars with your friends for free. Be the designated driver. Drink at home and walk/lyft out to the bars with your friends (once COVID is under control, of course). It\'s not that big of a deal to plan a bit.\n4. Invest and Invest EARLY! The first money I earned and paid taxes on at an internship went into a Roth IRA immediately. I maxed all my retirement accounts in year 1 of my first real job and didn\'t increase my lifestyle nearly at all except for social obligations with new coworkers (and even then, I found the cheapest way to do everything while still pulling my weight). Despite the fact it now looks like I am some Tesla/Crypto dude, I started out with basically ALL broad based index funds for years. My cost basis in real estate/index funds is probably $400,000-$500,000 while my cost basis in individual stocks/crypto is probably $40,000 after 10 years.\n5. Find hobbies that make you money! I love looking at real estate. My spouse and I bought a property and rented out extra rooms. We made some money on rent, we made some money on appreciation. We have had quite a few small headaches and inconveniences but it still has been an adventure, and a profitable one! Plus we have learned a lot.\n6. Set a goal, give yourself a reasonable reward! You don\'t have to spend nothing. I just try not to waste anything. Over time, dogs are expensive. I wanted a dog anyways. Once I had a steady job and a positive performance review under my belt, I adopted a dog! Worth every penny. After 8 years, I upgraded my reliable used car to my first new car - I just plan to keep it for 15 years and take care of it.\n\n**TL;DR: Went to a state school and utilized whate...

These design goals are to provide a digital currency alternative to cash (Bitcoin, Monero and Bitcoin cash), to support payment system at low-cost ( Ripple, Particl and Utility Settlement Coin),to support peer-to-peer trading activity by creating tokens ( RMG and Maecanas), to facilitate secure access to a good or service in peer-to-peer trading (Golem, Filecoin) and to support underlying platform or protocol ( Ether and NEO). These design goals mentioned won't be exhaustive as new cryptocurrencies are being created every week. Blockchain is the underlying technology for most of the cryptocurrencies.The cryptocurrency market is segmented based on the market capitalization of large number of cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrencies overlap with key areas of monetary and financial system. Given their rapid growth, complexity, high volatility and potentiality for facilitating illicit activities, regulators and policy makers across the world are bothered about their inclusion into the existing system and revising the existing systems to fit them, if included.Key Market TrendsA brief on the Volatility in the Market Capitalization of CryptocurrenciesThe evolving nature of this market with new cryptocurrencies created every week it is difficult to know how big the cryptocurrency market is. A wide scope of market exchanges for cryptocurrency trading, spread across the globe because of their privacy protection features as well as rapid growth, extreme price volatility, and market illiquidity add to the complexity of the cryptocurrency market. The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies over the years shows how high the price volatility of the market is.The estimated cryptocurrency market capitalization, for example, during the month of January 2018, varied between 400 billion USD and 800 billion USD which was at 566 billion USD at the beginning of the year 2018 and finally settled at 128 billion USD by the end of the year 2018. In terms of transaction volumes, bitcoin alone had the highest number of 200,000 average daily transactions.Adoption of Blockchain Technology Increasing on a Robust PaceEnterprise adoption of the blockchain technology has quietly reached a tipping point across multiple use cases. Companies who have recognized value from their initial pilot projects are now moving towards turning these projects into production. Specifically there is still uncertainty about this technology in the areas of regulations and governance, but the adoption of blockchain for financial services, identity, trade and other markets are increasing.Global blockchain spending will be led by the banking industry followed by discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing with a combined market share of about 50% of overall spending. In the banking industry, the spending will be driven by two of the largest use cases - cross border payments & settlements and trade finance & post-trade settlements.Spending on blockchain solutions will be the highest in the United States followed by Western Europe and China. All the regions shown in the infographics are expected to see phenomenal growth in the coming years.Competitive LandscapeThe report includes different segments like coin product developers, mining services, cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet companies, etc along with a note on recent mergers and acquisitions that shaped the ecosystem.Reasons to Purchase this report: • The market estimate (ME) sheet in Excel format • 3 months of analyst support Key Topics Covered:1 INTRODUCTION1.1 Scope of the Market1.2 Market Definition2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY2.1 Study Deliverables2.2 Study Assumptions2.3 Analysis Methodology2.4 Research Phases3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY4 MARKET INSIGHTS AND DYNAMICS4.1 Market Overview4.1.1 A Brief on the Structure and Technological Aspects of Cryptocurrencies4.1.2 Price Volatility of the cryptocurrency market4.1.3 Market Capitalization of Major Cryptocurrencies4.1.4 Rationale for widespread Crypto Mining Areas Across the Globe4.2 Major Concerns for Policymakers About Cryptocurrencies4.2.1 Effects of Cryptocurrency Market on Eonomic Efficiency and Growth4.2.2 Impact on Financial Stability due to Cryptocurrenncy Adoption4.2.3 Effects on Monetary Policy due to Cryptocurrency Adoption4.2.4 Effects on Fiscal Policy due to Cryptocurrency Adoption4.2.5 Probable ways of Taxation of Cryptocurrency Market4.2.6 Cons of Cryptocurrency Adoption into Financial Ecosystem4.2.7 Tools at the Disposal of Policymakers to Counter the Cons of Cryptocurrency Adoption4.3 A Brief on Investment Outlook in Cryptocurrency Market4.4 Latest Developments in the Cryptocurrency Market4.5 Market Drivers4.6 Market Restraints5 MARKET SEGMENTATION AND ANALYSIS5.1 Geography5.1.1 Americas (United States, Canada, Latin America and Caribbean)5.1.2 Europe5.1.3 United Kingdom5.1.4 Asia-Pacific5.1.5 Middle East & Africa5.2 By Design Goals5.2.1 Digital Cash Coins5.2.2 Payment Infrastructure Tokens5.2.3 Securities Tokens5.2.4 Utility Tokens5.2.5 General Platform Tokens5.2.6 Others5.3 By Market Capitalization5.3.1 Bitcoin5.3.2 Ethereum5.3.3 Ripple5.3.4 Bitcoin Cash5.3.5 Cardano5.3.6 Others6 COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE6.1 Overview (Market Concentration and Major Players)6.2 Mergers & Acquisitions6.3 Segments and Company Profiles6.3.1 Coin Product Developers6.3.2 Mining Services6.3.3 Cloud for Bitcoin6.3.4 Cryptocurrency Exchanges6.3.5 Wallet Companies6.3.6 Payment and Trading Solution Providers6.3.7 Others7 MARKET OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE TRENDSFor more information about this report visithttps://www.researchandmarkets.com/r/amzz4m Research and Markets also offersCustom Researchservices providing focused, comprehensive and tailored research.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 0.24% on Friday. Following on from an 8.09% slide on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $17,171.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $17,531.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $18,641, Bitcoin slid to a mid-afternoon intraday low $16,501.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $16,050, Bitcoin moved back through to $17,100 levels to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest slide back to sub-$17,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $9,920 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Ripple’s XRP rose by 4.64% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+0.80%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.44%), and Polkadot (+0.11%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin slid by 4.79% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.81%), Chainlink (-0.74%), Ethereum (-0.25%), and Litecoin (-2.70%), also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $593.32bn before sliding to a Thursday low $467.23bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $504.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 64.75% before sliding to a Tuesday low of 60.80%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.94%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.22% 17,133.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $17,198.0 before falling to a low $17,031.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.71%) and Crypto.com Coin (+3.90%) bucked the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Polkadot was down by 0.65% to lead the way down. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall back through the pivot level at $17,068 to bring the first major resistance level at $17,634 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $17,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $17,531.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $18,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $18,098. Failure to avoid a fall back through the $17,068 pivot would bring the first major support level at $16,604 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$16,000 levels. The second major support level at $16,038 should limit any downside.

Bitcoin Latinum will trade under the symbol LTNM with a total supply of 888,888,888 LTNM [verifiable by LTNM].\nBitcoin Latinum is now available for pre-sale onwww.bitcoinlatinum.comand will be available on exchanges in 2021.\nMarsh & McLennan, one of the world\'s leading specialty insurance brokers and risk advisers, has been appointed to arrange a comprehensive insurance program for Bitcoin Latinum. The insurance coverage, to be arranged by Marsh Asia, will protect Bitcoin Latinum holders in case of external theft and internal collusion, potentially up to the full value of their holdings. This contemplated insurance coverage will make Bitcoin Latinum the world\'s largest insured digital asset.\nThe Bitcoin Latinum tokens are a part of a blockchain ecosystem being adopted by companies in media, gaming, storage, cloud, and telecommunications. Bitcoin Latinum tokens will be interchangeably used on each of these partner/supplier networks by consumers. In addition, Bitcoin Latinum adds security around inflight transactions and enhanced mining node protection based on memory scanning technology. Furthermore, Bitcoin Latinum looks to reduce the cost of a Bitcoin transaction from dollars to pennies for on-chain transactions and even lower rates for lightning-based transactions.\nBitcoin\'s market cap is nearing $200 billion and makes up approximately 84% of the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin recently crossed $18,000 per token, demonstrating a strong bull market. Earlier this year, Gartner stated that blockchain technology will create more than $176 billion worth of business value by 2025, and $3.1 trillion by 2030. There are trillions of dollars in global assets that could potentially be digitized.\nBitcoin Latinum is an enhanced Bitcoin fork. The Bitcoin Latinum algorithm and infrastructure break barriers and speed limits that have prevented some virtual currencies from achieving practical, real-time use. Bitcoin Latinum taps into the new wave of crypto DeFi — decentralized finance – for its role in independent digital transactions. According to Nasdaq, the total DeFi related cryptocurrency market recently passed $14 billion, up from $1 billion in February 2020.\nAdopting Bitcoin Latinum is Academy Award winning studio Cross Creek Media.

The ongoing public health crisis will continue to weigh on economic activity, employment and inflation in the near term, and poses considerable risks to the economic outlook over the medium term.” • The Fed has expanded its balance sheet by about $3 trillion this year to $7.1 trillion, sparking fears of future inflation that have bolstered investor demand for bitcoin, seen as a hedge against rising consumer prices and a weakening dollar. • Bitcoin (BTC) prices havedoubled this year to roughly $15,000.

There are a bunch of people that are anti-IRS in the Bitcoin community and don\'t feel like people are obligated to report to the IRS their purchases using Bitcoin. I don\'t want to debate that. Let\'s assume every purchase that a person makes with Bitcoin needs to be reported on form 8949. When a person buys on exchanges like coinbase, binance, etc, those exchanges are an open eco-system. Once a bitcoin leaves those exchanges, those exchanges don\'t know what happens to those bitcoins(for the most part). So, those exchanges can\'t automate your tax filings.\n\nPayPal has setup a closed eco-system where they know a person\'s purchase history of bitcoin, their sales history of bitcoin and the history of when they bought something using bitcoin(via PayPal). So, PayPal has all the necessary information to generate a 1099-B for that person. A 1099-B completely simplifies tax filing for purchases made with Bitcoin.\n\nTo give you a concrete example. Let make the following assumptions:\n\nI bought 1 bitcoin on August 1st 2020 for $10,000\n\nOn Sept 1st, 2020, I bought a TV for $2000 using Bitcoin and the price of one Bitcoin was $20,000.\n\nSo, let\'s work through what happens if I used Coinbase to originally buy that 1 bitcoin. So I bought that Bitcoin and then I moved it to my hardware wallet. I had to pay some amount of bitcoin in transaction fees to move that bitcoin. To make things "simple", let\'s assume the network transaction fee was .01 btc. So that improves my cost basis but overall it cost me money but my new cost basis is .99 bitcoin for a $10,000(this makes the effective cost basis of 1 btc to be $10,101.01). Then I purchase the tv from my hardware wallet. There would be another network transaction cost but let\'s assume it was free. Coinbase has no idea what I did with that bitcoin that I bought from them. So, it\'s now my obligation to report my capital gain to the IRS since the price had gone up since I bought that bitcoin. So, my capital gain would be: I used .1 bitcoin to buy a $2000 TV. My cost basis of that .1 btc was $1010.01. So I had a capital gain fo $989.99 that I need to pay short term capital gain taxes on that.\n\nNow I imagine that I buy a $4 cup of coffee every day. I have to do this calculation for every cup of coffee that I had. Complete and utter insanity to manually calculate the capital gain of every purchase a person makes. I decided it wasn\'t worth it so I stopped buying things with bitcoin.\n\nLet\'s work thr...

When I tell people that I work in cryptocurrency, people often ask me questions straight out of a horror movie. Isn’t bitcoin creepy? I understand their confusion: Hollywood often acts like everything crypto-related is dark web deals and criminal conduct. In fact, it’s held and traded by millions of law-abiding people around the world and, in the United States, is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service . Catherine Coley is CEO of Binance.US . Related: Why Satoshi Chose Halloween to Release the Bitcoin White Paper Even the nation’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase , wants to create a digital currency. Electronic or digital currencies hold great potential as non-inflationary global means of trade. Whether you’re an athlete or an artist, a barber or a banker, a teenager or a retiree, cryptocurrency can work for you. Cryptocurrency is exciting, popular and useful but its increased acceptance doesn’t mean that all its shadows have disappeared. Because it’s October, I want to talk about the scariest thing in the crypto world: being tricked by scams. The great 2020 Twitter hack In July, hackers made off with roughly $120,000 in cryptocurrency after hacking major verified Twitter accounts. Accounts belonging to Barack Obama, Bill Gates and others published tweets asking users to send bitcoin to particular wallet addresses. The hacked accounts promised that any shared currency would be doubled and returned. They lied. Given the size, scale and sophistication of the June Twitter hack, it’s a relief to learn that the hackers’ payoff was relatively limited: Millions of people saw the fraudulent tweets, but only 400 deposited funds with the criminals. Any single theft is one theft too many, but the comparatively low number of victims means the crypto community has learned important lessons. And the thieves themselves were schooled in Bitcoin’s technology: The immutable blockchain ledger, which records all transactions in perpetuity, led directly to their arrest. Story continues Related: Money Reimagined: Who Are the Real Monsters? See also: Twitter Hack 2020 – Full Coverage “ Educate, don’t intimidate ” is my motto for business and for life. As my first job was navigating Wall Street’s foreign exchange trading desks, I know how intimidating finance and its terminology can be. The same goes for crypto. From the outside, words like “staking,” “hashing” and “mining” can seem very complicated. But with a little education you, too, can understand it. The last thing I want is to intimidate you and make you believe that there’s a scammer behind every email. But I do want you to recognize the possible signs of criminal activity and protect yourself. Everyone dealing with cryptocurrency should understand the most common grifts and schemes . A closer look at July’s Twitter hack is useful here. The 400 victims who sent funds to hackers imitating Elon Musk or Warren Buffett didn’t know that “giveaways” promising something for nothing are a cybercriminal standby. The July hack was more than “just” a giveaway exploit. If the criminals hadn’t compromised celebrity and politician accounts, their plan wouldn’t have worked. In July, Twitter admitted some of its employees had fallen victim to “spear phishing” attacks – they were convinced, by phone calls and seemingly official emails, to enter sensitive personal data into criminal-controlled websites. You shouldn’t believe everything you see on social media, and you must verify before trusting every email that pops into your inbox or every caller who has your mobile phone number. Take a quick gut check, look at the sender address or Twitter handle. Does it seem too good to be true? Learn from others’ mistakes, but don’t forget that the crooks are vastly outnumbered by honest users. Staying vigilant The digital asset community grows savvier by the day. And much of that comes from learning from mistakes. But, I hope, by reading this you can avoid them. An educated audience makes it harder for scammers to operate, and their return on scamming is shrinking. So, in 2020, are crypto scams on their way out? I wish they were. Just like monsters defeated in one movie only to be revived in sequels, scammers never stay down for long. Earlier this month, I took to Twitter to warn my followers about a fraudulent newsletter making the rounds. We’re still haunted by a few bad actors. Fake cryptocurrency exchange and wallet apps occasionally still show up on mobile app stores. New members of the crypto community sometimes fail to do their own research . And a few networks with bad intentions spend all day on Telegram and Discord lurking for vulnerable targets. With more awareness around crypto and your safety, scams may grow scarcer by the day, but they’re still out there. You may shiver to think of cybercriminals at large and in pursuit of your assets but the more you know the less worried you’re likely to be if you’ve taken the right steps to protect yourself. The perpetrators of the July 2020 Twitter hack were arrested and charged within two weeks. When investigators and law enforcement ripped their masks away, the masterminds were revealed to be teenagers from Florida and Massachusetts. This October, as the jack-o’-lanterns are lit, you may want to indulge in a good shudder over some terrifying scam story or another. It’s true that scams are a problem, but don’t fall for panicked urban legends. You have all the knowledge you need to operate. Smart planning, critical thinking and commonsense precautions can keep you safe from the tricksters and enjoying the treats of digital assets.

In his will, he left my twin brother and I $100,000 each. \n\nMy brother and I were talking about our different investments at the time, and how we were going to invest our new money. For the last decade or so, I’ve been a silver bug, and I argued that silver was, IMO, the best alternative investment to stocks and bonds. He had just learned about Bitcoin and was adamant that the return could be exponential. I had vehemently argued against Bitcoin, saying that it was pure speculation and would be a total waste of money. \n\nWell, he ended up investing about 50k into Bitcoin around then (when Bitcoin was ~$100 each), for over 500 coins. I, on the other, invested most of it into stocks, and about 30k into silver. \n\nMy brother has never sold any of his Bitcoins. He’s never even traded them for other crypto currencies. His job pays him very well very, so he’s never really had liquidity issues. He has still 500+ coins. \n\nMy 30k investment into silver in 2013 is now worth about 26k, and my entire net worth is below 100k. My brother’s 50k Bitcoin investment, however (which was made within months of the same time as my silver investment), is now worth over $10 million. His wealth in Bitcoin alone is more than 100 times greater than my entire net worth.\n\nHe’s going to retire soon. He will be selling his house, and live and an investor. He plans to travel a lot with the wife and kids, and it seems like his life is set. \n\nNow, he did give me one Bitcoin. And I will not sell it. As happy as I am for him, though, it really hurts to hear about his fortune and bright future, and not be jealous. I’ve stopped attending family events (him too), because I can’t get over the overwhelming thought of “hey, you should’ve done what your brother did”, at every waking moment. It’s extremely depressing. I try to be thankful for what I do have, and I try to be thankful since I know that many other people in the world have it way worse. But I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it.

It was created during the COVID-19 crisis when fiscal and monetary policies have exposed serious vulnerabilities in the current financial system. The concept of the Digital Reserve Currency was developed by Maxim Nurov , CEO of Digital Finance, Washington, DC, a financial company that specializes in the digital assets market. DRC has a few unique characteristics that differentiate it from other digital assets. First, DRC has a purely deflationary economic model. 100% of the total DRC supply was issued to the secondary market and no more DRC tokens will ever be created. Second, DRC has a fair distribution model. All the DRC supply of 1 Billion indivisible tokens was issued directly to the market. DRC founders/developers never received any funds from investors in any form and never retained any tokens before the whole token supply became available on the market. Third, DRC had a community-driven ecosystem from the day one. No one has control over DRC as DRC has fully decentralized structure. The DRC Foundation has been created by the DRC community to define the strategy and the road map of the DRC ecosystem development. Finally, DRC token is fully developed and operational. Its smart contract has been audited by a trusted blockchain development firm and does not contain any security issues. Built using Solidity, DRC's code cannot be altered since being deployed on the blockchain. DRC has a robust value proposition as a potential digital store of value. As global markets experience inflation, DRC provides economic scarcity and a zero-inflation rate. In accordance with the DRC road map, DRC holders should be able to link the value of their tokens to a basket of the most efficient store of value assets such as gold, Bitcoin, and the US dollar, as soon as in Q1 2021. Story continues DRC was designed to provide a steady increase in its intrinsic value and act as a useful hedge against inflation. It fits the needs of people looking to preserve their wealth, especially in developing countries, while still having the flexibility of immediate, cross-border, and censorship-resistant transfers.

Volume contributed to the weakening price action. At $1.79 billion, Wednesday was the highest volume day for major USD/BTC spot exchanges since way back on March 13, when volumes hit $1.98 billion the day after the “Black Thursday” crash. Today, daily volume on these exchanges were at a comparably tepid $867 million. Related:10 Metrics Where Bitcoin Has Already Hit New All-Time Highs A volume pullback from the second-largest day on the USD/BTC spot market in 2020 isn’t deterring analysts on their bullish prognostications. “The current upward move seems more sustainable than the 2017 bull run as institutional investors are now positioning in bitcoin whereas it was only retail speculation back in 2017,” said Elie Le Rest, partner at quant firm ExoAlpha. “Bitcoin confirms by its recent price move that it has a place in a diversified portfolio.” Read More:Deutsche Bank Says Investors Increasingly Prefer Bitcoin Over Gold “The market’s infrastructure, regulatory regime and overall maturity is much more robust than previously,” said John Willock, CEO of crypto asset manager Tritium. “I fully expect a couple of pullbacks from these nominal mile markers such as $18,000, $19,000 and $20,000, but I do expect we should see the overall momentum continue through the rest of the year.” Related:MicroStrategy Wants to Be in the Bitcoin Business, Not Just an Investor Since Oct. 20, bitcoin’s 30-day volatility has been steadily rising, indicating that some price gyrations may still be on the horizon. “No assets go parabolic forever,” noted Michael Gord, chief executive officer for trading firm Global Digital Assets. “Bitcoin has gone up over 50% in the past month and is due for a correction.” “Long term I’m still very bullish and still seeing increasing interest from more traditional investors in bitcoin and other digital assets,” Gord added.

Even permabulls like Henrik Kugelberg, a Sweden-based over-the-counter crypto trader, are prepared for some bumps in the road should bitcoin work its way to an all-time high. “I expect a much larger drop pretty soon,” Kugelberg told CoinDesk. “But in all I can see BTC going to $23,000-$24,000 in the next month or two.” The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization,ether(ETH), was up Thursday, trading around $475 and climbing 0.55% in 24 hours as of 21:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET). The amount of ether “locked” in decentralized finance, or DeFi, is declining. The fall began Nov. 14, going from 8.9 million to 7.7 million ETH as of press time, according to aggregator DeFi Pulse. Jean-Marc Bonnefous, managing partner for investment firm Tellurian Capital, suspects some of the ether movement out of DeFi might have to do with Ethereum’s ambitious “2.0” project. This requires some capital allocation to a smart contract set aside for staking somethingknown as the “beacon chain” to launch the new network. “There is the need to find another 400,000 ETH to fill the first phase of staking into ETH 2.0 by the end of November,” said Bonnefous. “So this might explain some of the leakage out of DeFi.” Digital assets on theCoinDesk 20are mixed Thursday, mostly green.

At least, that is what ancaps envision it to be and what they strive for, which they intend to do so by getting rid of the government and keep the peace through the NAP. However, without them knowing it, anarcho-capitalism is already being practiced, everywhere around the world. In what way, you might ask. Well, through crime, mainly illegal trade and the underground economy as a whole.\n\nIn my analysis, I define anarcho-capitalism as the following: an economy where the means of production are privately owned and controlled and resources are allocated through a market mechanism, but in absence of a central government who enforces the private property rights: People have to enforce it themselves or hire an agency themselves who would do it for them (like a PMC). This is the core functioning of anarcho-capitalism without all the whistles and bells to make it look appealing.\n\nNow, how is the underground/illegal market an example of anarcho-capitalism? Simple: because possession of illegal commodities is illegal, ownership of it wont be protected by the government. If someone steals your coke, you cant call the cops on them and have them arrested. Despite that, you can trade for illegal goods with common currency (often even currency that cant inflate like fiat, like bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which conveniently resemble how gold would be used ideally as a currency in ancapistan), and, more importantly, you can even run a business producing illegal commodities like drugs, guns, etc, or supply services like hitman-for-hire. These businesses, especially drug cartels, often have their own little state (which is a collection of armed guards and armed personel) with which they force the people who deliver the drugs to return the profit to their boss: if the deliverer keeps all the money he gets from the client, his boss doesnt make a profit on his production, so he would send his armed personel to punish the deliverer and return the profit to the business owner. In essence, the drug cartel enforces its private property rights by itself. \n\nI think I made it obvious enough how the black market is anarcho-capitalism in practice, and shows how dystopian the concept really is (unless you think working for a drugs cartel is a chill life where you certainly arent constantly in danger of getting your head blown off by your own boss if you disobey him, let alone the clear violence you are forced to commit for your wage), but I can hear ancaps coming: "You forgot about the NAP. With the NAP, nobody would harm other people", assuming the NAP is a natural phenomenon. The criminal underworld demonstrates how the NAP cant persist in an anarchic competitive environment. First of all, in order for there to be a non-aggression pact between organisations, there needs to be trust. Said trust can never be guaranteed, since the interests of the different (criminal) enterprises are in conflict with each other: they both want to maximize their profits, which can only be done by having the most amount of costumers possible. Coke is coke, some produce better coke than others, but at the end of the day, people are looking for affordable coke. Out of the coke consumers, the only way to gain more is to steal them from competing cartels. Because both cartels require as much profit as possible in order to pay for the production for goods AND keep the guards well-paid to enforce your private property, the stealing of market share brings the existence of the cartel and the power of the cartel boss at stake. In other words, conflict is inevitable, and everything is at stake, so all the cards get laid on deck, including aggression, in the form of assassinations and gang wars. \n\nAnother point Id like to mention, is that when trust (the NAP) is broken, you cant expect all the corporations to keep trusting those who didn\'t go rogue, especially when violation of the NAP occurs more than once. Afterall, how can they trust one another when some are bound to break that trust to take advantage of you, especially because of all these incentives that motivate them to get on top of one another? And when trust is broken for all, it becomes a free-for-all game, where trust can only be bought and you always have to watch your back and, of course, your private property.\n\nIn conclusion, an anarcho-capitalist society is bound to fall in utter chaos through privatised enforcement of private property rights that is unable to keep the peace, thanks to the incentives provided by the capitalist economy. However not only a great parallel can be drawn with the course of the black market and it\'s criminal underworld, but in this perspective also with different nation-states fighting over resources, as they have always had and still do to this day.\n\nIf anyone has arguments to add, comment them and I may include them in the post.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/k3jgam/anarchocapitalism_already_exists_in_real_life_and/', 'k3jgam', [['u/nikolakis7', 17, '2020-11-30 00:28', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/k3jgam/anarchocapitalism_already_exists_in_real_life_and/ge3e1sb/', "That's like saying socialism already exists today because you can just disrespect private property laws.", 'k3jgam'], ['u/Deathdragon228', 23, '2020-11-30 00:41', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/k3jgam/anarchocapitalism_already_exists_in_real_life_and/ge3flyz/', 'You yourself explained the reason the black market isn’t anarcho capitalism.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss and Suzanne Barlyn NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar sank to a fresh 2-1/2-year low in choppy trading on Wednesday, weighed down by expectations of further fiscal stimulus for the United States. The greenback, however, last traded little changed to slightly lower on the day amid wrangling in Congress over additional coronavirus aid. Republicans and Democrats in Congress remained unable to reach agreement on more relief for the U.S. economy on Wednesday, with top Republicans supporting what the Senate\'s top Democrats dismissed as an "inadequate, partisan proposal." Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said President Donald Trump supported a proposal put forth by Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell after the latter on Tuesday rejected a $908 billion bipartisan package. For months, McConnell has pushed for a $500 billion plan that Democrats rejected as insufficient. Democratic leaders, however, said on Wednesday a bipartisan coronavirus aid plan should be the basis for immediate negotiations in the U.S. Congress. "Generally, the theme has been positive and the bipartisan plan gives us a base for further stimulus talks," said Amo Sahota, executive director at currency advisory firm Klarity FX in San Francisco. "But quite honestly, I am not convinced by the stimulus plans. I think they\'re still far away from a deal from what we can tell," he added. In afternoon trading, the dollar index was 0.1% lower at 91.115 , after earlier hitting 91.094, the lowest since late April 2018. Wednesday\'s data showing slower U.S. private hiring last month supported some safe-haven buying of the dollar earlier in the session. Private payrolls increased by 307,000 jobs in November, the ADP National Employment Report showed, lower than economists\' forecast for a 410,000 rise. Data for October, though, was revised up to show 404,000 jobs added instead of the initially reported 365,000. Analysts said the ADP report, while disappointing, had positive elements. Story continues Adding to the positive risk sentiment was Britain\'s approval of Pfizer Inc\'s COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, jumping ahead of the rest of the world in the race to begin the most crucial mass inoculation program in history. The euro, meanwhile, was up 0.2% at $1.2098, after earlier hitting $1.2108, the highest since late April 2018. The European Central Bank meets next week and analysts said the ECB could act to stem the currency\'s rapid rise. Against the yen, the dollar rose 0.2% to 104.52, after the Bank of Japan signaled its readiness to extend pandemic-response programs. Bitcoin was up 1.6% at $19,061, after hitting a record high of $19,918.01 on Tuesday. Sterling fell as Britain and the European Union quickly approached a make-or-break moment in trade talks, with investors uncertain a deal will be reached.

"But quite honestly, I am not convinced by the stimulus plans. I think they\'re still far away from a deal from what we can tell," he added.\nIn afternoon trading, the dollar index was 0.1% lower at 91.115 , after earlier hitting 91.094, the lowest since late April 2018.\nWednesday\'s data showing slower U.S. private hiring last month supported some safe-haven buying of the dollar earlier in the session.\nPrivate payrolls increased by 307,000 jobs in November, the ADP National Employment Report showed, lower than economists\' forecast for a 410,000 rise. Data for October, though, was revised up to show 404,000 jobs added instead of the initially reported 365,000.\nAnalysts said the ADP report, while disappointing, had positive elements.\nAdding to the positive risk sentiment was Britain\'s approval of Pfizer Inc\'s COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, jumping ahead of the rest of the world in the race to begin the most crucial mass inoculation program in history.\nThe euro, meanwhile, was up 0.2% at $1.2098, after earlier hitting $1.2108, the highest since late April 2018.

Today's Key News: ["The Takeaway\n• Ripple used to position itself as the regulator-friendly crypto firm.\n• Now the company is threatening to leave the U.S. over regulatory uncertainty.\n• Lack of clarity from the SEC about XRP’s legal status looks to be the sticking point.\n• The company is fighting several private investor lawsuits over the securities question and reportedly eyeing an initial public offering.\nRipple might not move out after all.\nSix weeks after announcing he’s looking at potentially relocating Ripple’s headquarters because of the lack of regulatory clarity around theXRPcryptocurrency in the U.S., CEO Brad Garlinghouse isnow taking a wait-and-see approachfollowingthe election of Joe Bidenas U.S. president. Speaking to CNN’s Julia Chatterley on Wednesday, he said the payments firm hadn’t made any decision on the matter.\nRelated:XRP Led November's Crypto Bull Run With 169% Gain\n“We haven’t put a strict timeline on when we’ll make a decision” on relocating, he said. “I think I am waiting to see what dynamics change, associated with the Biden administration beginning their term in office, and I am optimistic that will actually improve where things sit for the XRP community broadly.”\nGarlinghousedonatedto the Biden for President campaign earlier this year, according to Federal Election Commission records. Last year, he donated to the Kamala Harris for the People campaign when she was a presidential candidate. Harris later dropped out of that race but is now the vice president-elect and will take office with Biden.\nGarlinghouse’s remarks diverge from previous comments, when he indicated the prolonged but fruitless efforts to get federal regulators on the firm’s side seem to have exhausted the patience of Ripple’s executives as the company eyes a potential initial public offering (IPO) and fights a lawsuit.\nFor years, the payments startup, closely associated with the XRP cryptocurrency, held itself up as an example of good behavior. In 2016, for example, Ripple was thesecondcompany in the blockchain industry to obtain the infamously stringent BitLicense from New York State (and later added the architect of that regimeto its board).\nRelated:Ripple Is Cashing Out a Third of Its Stake in Surging MoneyGram\nThe firm’s CEO in those days, Chris Larsen, eschewed the then-fashionable term “disruptor” and stressed that unlike Bitcoin’s early adopters, Ripple aimed to assist, not usurp, regulated institutions. To do so it invested in multiple lobbyingeffortsin Washington.\nLately, the San Francisco-based company’s leaders have been notably less diplomatic. Current CEOGarlinghouseandLarsen, now executive chairman, havepublicly threatenedto move Ripple’s headquarters out of the U.S., citing the lack of regulatory clarity, particularly from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company recentlyannouncedit opened a regional office in Dubai.\nRipple is still a far cry from, say, Binance, the global cryptocurrency exchange that hashopped from one jurisdiction to anotherand hasrefused to even say where exactly it is headquartered. But the Silicon Valleyunicorn’sopen discussion of a possible relocation marks a strategic shift, underscoring how the sector’s compliance challenges have grown more complex over the last half-decade.\n“Ripple wants to embrace regulation. And when regulation is clear and consistently applied it does result in a predictable outcome,” the company’s general counsel, Stu Alderoty, told CoinDesk in a recent phone interview.\nThis, however, hasn’t been the case in the U.S., he said.\n“Other jurisdictions made pretty significant advances,” Alderoty said, denying that a relocation would beregulatory arbitrage, the corporate practice of taking advantage of differing regimes. In other jurisdictions, “there is a high degree of comfort that the regulator won’t say [XRP] is a security one day,” he explained.\nThe company’s reasons to consider moving out are “general frustration, and the maturity of other jurisdictions parading that regulation clarity,” he said, adding that for Ripple, “it would be irresponsible not to explore those opportunities.”\nTo be clear, Ripple hasn’t committed to moving out of the U.S. definitively. Its leadership may just be saber-rattling in hopes of motivating regulatory agencies like the SEC to take action. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Ripple will stay headquartered in the U.S. even if the SEC continues its business as usual.\nAlderoty indicated Ripple would remain compliant with U.S. regulations and likely continue doing business in the country. The specific benefits Ripple would gain by moving out remain unclear, as is why Ripple would move out of the U.S. now.\nThe SEC’s future focus is itself unclear. Current Chairman Jay Claytonintends to step downbefore President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January. Biden will get to nominate a new chair, shaping the agency’s course for the next several years.\nCompared to therebellious figuresof theearly Bitcoin community,Ripple, founded in 2012, looked like your straight-laced aunt.\n“ForBitcoin, the goal was to create a decentralized currency and ledger, independent from any government or central operator. For Ripple, the goal was to create a decentralized ledger that could work with and improve the foundation of today’s payment systems,” Larsen said in a 2015interviewwith fintech maven Chris Skinner.\nDuring that era, the main category of regulation that preoccupied digital currency businesses was the kind designed to prevent money laundering, sanctions violations and terrorism financing.\nAs early as 2014, Ripple introduced a feature that allows financial institutions tostop certain transactionson its network (which is now known as the XRP Ledger).\nXRP, the network’snative currency, could not be frozen, but dollars or euros issued by a bank on the ledger could, allowing Ripple’s corporate users (then referred to as “gateways”) to cooperate with law enforcement requests.\n“The individual freeze is intended primarily for complying with regulatory requirements,” the company said in anoticeat the time. “It also allows gateways to freeze individual account issuances in order to investigate suspicious activity. These features allow gateways to better operate in compliance of laws and regulations.”\nNevertheless, the following year Ripple was hit was one by of the industry’s first high-profile enforcement actions.\nThe U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)finedthe company $700,000 for failing in its early days to register as a money services business (MSB) and to implement an anti-money laundering program.\nThe company cooperated with FinCEN andagreedto make “certain enhancements” to the Ripple Protocol “to appropriately monitor all future transactions” and regular compliance audits.\nMore recently, following the initial coin offering (ICO) boom of 2017, an additional type of regulation has come into play for the crypto markets: securities laws. And this area has proven trickier to navigate for Ripple.\nIn 2018, a group of investorssuedRipple, alleging the company’s periodic sales of XRP were unregistered issuances of securities. The case is now in the U.S. District Court of Southern California. In October, Judge Phyllis J. Hamiltondismissedmost of the plaintiffs’ claims but left three, on which the hearings will now proceed.\n“The lawsuit is a symptom of the absence of [regulatory] clarity in the U.S.” Alderoty said.\nIn the meantime, the SEC was becoming more aggressive in pursuing companies that sold tokens through ICOs. The agency effectively won its lawsuits againstTelegramandKik; while both suits resulted in settlements, the terms were generally favorable toward the SEC, making both companies pay fines for unregistered securities sales and, in the case of Telegram,putting an end to the project.\nTo be clear, Ripple did not conduct an ICO, but founders David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb and Arthur Britto “gifted” 80 billion XRP to the company, which then sold it to users. However, the climate for token-funded projects in general has been getting more and more threatening over the past two years in the U.S.\nWhile Ripple has long insistedit did not create XRP, it isthe largest holderof the cryptocurrency and has relied heavily on selling the asset. The company “would not be profitable or cash flow positive [without selling XRP],” Garlinghousetold the Financial Timesin February. Ripple is also active on the buy side: the company is regularly purchasing XRP “to support healthy markets.”\n“Ripple generates revenue from multiple sources, but as a private company we don’t break out the details,” Ripple spokesperson wrote to CoinDesk. “That said, Ripple does software enterprise sales – no different than Oracle or Salesforce. Ripple also has not sold XRP programmatically for over a year which is outlined in our quarterly markets reports.”\nIn previous years, Ripple sold XRP in two parallel ways: programmatically and over the counter (OTC). While the programmatic sales werepausedin 2019, the OTC sales went on. According to theXRP Markets Reportspublished quarterly by Ripple, during 2020, the company has sold a little more than $70 million worth of XRP.\nHence, resolving XRP’s legal status is crucial for the company.\n“Ripple put a lot of money in their regulatory work,” a source familiar with Ripple’s business told CoinDesk. “At the very minimum, they tried every means to push the SEC to issue the statement that XRP should not be regarded as a security.”\nHowever, that did not happen, and seeing the SEC crack down on other token projects “it would be hard for Ripple not to worry about that,” the source said.\nWith XRP occupying an important place on Ripple’s balance sheet, if the SEC or a prolonged legal action ultimately deems the token a security, it might shake up the company’s entire business model.\nMoving out of the U.S. won’t get Ripple out of the U.S. jurisdiction, Alderoty said, Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [10669.58, 10793.34, 10604.41, 10668.97, 10915.69, 11064.46, 11296.36, 11384.18, 11555.36, 11425.90, 11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49, 13950.30, 14133.71, 15579.85, 15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Today's Key News: ['By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss and Suzanne Barlyn NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar rose from 2-1/2-year lows on Friday, as European Union and British negotiators paused talks for a post-Brexit trade deal, weighing on sterling, though the greenback still posted its worst week in a month after investors shrugged off a weaker-than-expected U.S. employment report. In late trading, the dollar index rose 0.1% to $90.725 ahead of the weekend, climbing from its lowest level since April 2018. On the week, the index was down 1.3%, its largest weekly loss since early November. Britain and the European Union paused talks on Friday after failing to narrow differences sufficiently to reach a trade agreement, less than four weeks before Britain completes its Brexit journey out of the bloc. The negotiators, Britain\'s David Frost and the EU\'s Michel Barnier, said they would brief their leaders to seek new impetus for the talks. Upbeat announcements on COVID-19 vaccines have helped drive a rally in riskier currencies at the expense of the safe-haven dollar. The euro and Swiss franc, in contrast, were headed for their best week in a month against the dollar. The single European currency touched a 2-1/2-year high, while the Swiss franc rose to its highest in nearly six years. Data showed that U.S. non-farm payrolls increased by 245,000 jobs last month after rising by 610,000 in October. That was the smallest gain since the jobs recovery started in May. "The biggest development this afternoon has been what I\'m telling clients is a \'fakeout-breakout\' in pound sterling," said Toronto-based Erik Bregar, head of FX strategy for the Exchange Bank of Canada, referring to the possibility of a Brexit deal that is now on pause. "It makes me think about more downside afterwards." The renewed possibility that Congress might forge another U.S. fiscal stimulus package and enthusiasm about progress on the development of COVID-19 vaccines remain key drivers in foreign exchange, strategists said. Story continues The jobs data and surge in COVID-19 cases are unlikely to trigger a rush by the U.S. Federal Reserve to ramp up its bond-buying. Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Evans told reporters on Friday that the Fed could assess asset purchases in springtime, when there is more clarity on the economic outlook. U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday there was momentum behind talks on a coronavirus relief bill and that a bipartisan proposal could be the basis for relief negotiations. That should keep risk appetite higher. The euro has been one of the biggest winners from recent dollar weakness, breaking decisively above $1.20 this week. The single currency rose to $1.2177, its highest since April 2018, and was last down 0.2% at $1.2118. Against the Swiss franc, the dollar recovered to trade slightly higher at 0.8910 franc, after earlier dropping to a nearly six-year low of 0.8886 franc. The greenback was last down .06% at 0.8903. The dollar gained 0.3% against the yen to 104.15 yen. Sterling fell 0.2% against the dollar to $1.3423 after trade talks for a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union hit a snag ahead of the weekend.

It’s a perfect follow-up tolast week’s newsletteron the harmful legacy of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act. Before you dig into it, let me remind you to check out this week’s Money Reimagined podcast. Related:Crypto Is Less Scary Than Halloween In this episode, Sheila Warren and I interview the newly reelected premier of Bermuda, David Burt, who is spearheading projects to use the island as a testing ground for stablecoins and to launch a communally-owned national digital bank. –Michael J. Casey With Halloween and the12th anniversaryof the Bitcoin white paper approaching, it’s an apt moment to consider a classic horror trope through a monetary lens. “Who are the real monsters?” Related:Blockchain Bites: Ripple's MoneyGram Pump, OKEx's Bitcoin Cash Plan, Bitcoin's Birthday FromMary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”toGeorge Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,”to Jordan Peele’s “Us,” some of the scariest tales suggest that “normal” people are more nefarious than the nominal bogeymen. This is a useful way to think about the allegedly abominable qualities of cryptocurrency when compared to the incumbent institutions it challenges – and thesupposedly safer visionsthey are now putting forth. Since CoinDesk is a family publication, I won’t go into the details of those gory fictional works. Besides, because there’s an element of farce here as well, I’ve got an even better seasonally appropriate metaphor: “The Munsters.” For the 99% of readers too young to remember, this was a 1960s sitcom about an eccentric family who live in a cobwebbed mansion and resemble iconic movie monsters. The patriarch, Herman Munster, is a dead ringer (ahem) for Frankenstein’s monster, his wife and father-in-law are vampires, his son a werewolf. They’re a friendly bunch but never quite understand why the neighbors act so strangely around them. The most important character for this discussion is Marilyn, Herman’s teenage niece. She isn’t a monster at all; she’s the archetypal Girl Next Door. The running gag is that the other Munsters pity Marilyn for her looks, and even she somehow blames herself when boyfriends run away screaming upon meeting her relatives. Just like Marilyn Munster, the Bitcoin network is a wholesome outlier among the frightening creatures of the legacy financial system. The cryotocurrency’s chief value proposition,censorship resistance, is not a radical departure from tradition as sometimes implied. On the contrary, it’s the way money’s been since the days ofcowrie shells. All Bitcoin did wasrestoreit for transactions over the internet. You go to a butcher shop, you hand a few banknotes to the guy behind the counter, he gives you a steak. No third party who thinks you should be eating soy instead can veto the transaction. That’s normal. What’s abnormal is busybody A pressuring intermediary B to prevent individuals C and D from transacting, even lawfully. Even more abnormal is moving to a world where every last C and D has no choice but to rely on a B and therefore lives at the mercy of the As. None of this is to say that intermediaries are going away, nor that they should. They can add value. The problem is having no choice but to use one, which makes them choke points to be exploited by scolds and tyrants. Possessed, like Linda Blair in “The Exorcist,” you might say. Another characteristicbitcoin(loyalists to other crypto tribes may substitute the asset of their choice) shares with older forms of money, and not the electronic kind that sits in your bank account, is that it is abearer asset. Like cash, once you lose it, it’s gone, and it’s the holder’s burden to keep it secure through careful storage of their cryptographic private keys. Yes, this is scary, as many crypto investors can attest. But also scary is cops seizing assets of people whohaven’t been charged with a crimeandputting the burden onthemto prove an asset wasn’t involved in a crime. What’s even more terrifying is moving to a world where ALL money is held at intermediaries who must comply with such a regime. In this context, the advantage of a bearer asset secured with public-key cryptography is that the authorities cannot unilaterally seize someone’s funds by subpoenaing a bank. They need the key holder to cooperate, even if under duress. As I’ve written before, this “claws back a modicum of power for the individual” from the lurking Leviathan. One more commonality with cash is that bitcoin requires no personally identifiable information to handle – at least, the basic open-source software doesn’t, even if regulated exchanges demand it. The pseudonymity of alphanumeric addresses, along with the aforementioned resistance to seizure and censorship, go a long way toward explaining the technology’s popularity among criminals and other unsavory types. “Current terrorist use of cryptocurrency may represent the first raindrops of an oncoming storm of expanded use,” warned a recentreportby a U.S. Department of Justice task force. The laundering of illicit funds, the report pointed out, “can be substantially easier when the movement of funds takes place online and anonymously.” That’s enough to give anyone goosebumps. But remember that the demand forlegibilityof financial flows is a modern phenomenon. The U.S. Bank Secrecy Act only just turned 50 (withmixed results at best, as Michael J. Casey wrote last week). Depending on how you define it, money has been around for as long as5,000 years. Legibility is the aberration. Legibility is an ongoing experiment. That experiment has spawned its own terrors. Consumers in today’s digital world must entrust sensitive personal data to an untold number of hackable organizations,Equifaxes-in-waiting. Even more chillingly, the powers-that-be want to double down. U.S. regulators recentlyproposed lowering the thresholdfor the “travel rule” to $250 from $3,000 for international money transfers. Under the travel rule, if you wire someone money, not only does your bank know yourname, account number and address, so must the recipient’s bank, and it keeps a record for five years. And if you receive money, there’s a chance the sender’s bank has your name and address as well. Perhaps this makes sense for high-roller transactions, but $250? Also, note that $3,000 in 1996,the year the travel rule was created, is equivalent to nearly $5,000in today’s dollars. So even if the regulators don’t follow through on their proposal to lower the threshold for international wires, it’s already been happening in slow motion, thanks to inflation. Every year the dragnet widens a bit automatically, just as it has for thecash transaction reportsbanks file to the government. The upshot is that, by default, more and more personal information is likely to be captured over time. And that brings us to the last way bitcoin is a return to form rather than a deviation, although this one is perhaps the most controversial. While its exchange rate with the dollar fluctuates wildly from minute to minute, over time bitcoin has appreciated mightily in value. To detractors, the short-term volatility makes it useless as a currency; to proponents, the long-term appreciation and hard supply cap make it the ideal currency, one thatincentivizes saving. They have a point. “A penny saved is a penny earned.” That’s normal. Or was – it’s the kind of thing you hear parents say in black-and-white sitcoms. “Stop whining about low interest rates, hoarder. It’syour patriotic dutyto blow your discretionary income at the mall or wager it onstonks, we need to keep the economy moving.” That’s the stuff of nightmares. – Marc Hochstein As the price of bitcoin has surged higher in recent months, a string of listed companies has announced they are engaging with the cryptocurrency. On Aug. 11, business intelligence firm MicroStrategybought a whopping $250 million worth of bitcoinbeforeadding another $175 millionon Sept. 15. Three weeks later, payments company Squareput $50 millioninto the cryptocurrency. Then, on Wednesday last week, U.K.-listed fintech firm Mode Global Holdings revealed a “significant purchase” of bitcoinfor treasury management purposes andPayPal confirmed it would enable bitcoin transactionson its payments app. In the first three cases, the companies essentially embraced the thinking of many bitcoin bulls, treating the cryptocurrency as a “digital gold” hedge with which to protect their liquid assets against future monetary stress. With PayPal, the action was likely more geared toward leveraging an anticipated rise in public demand for bitcoin. For all four, the announcements boosted the companies’ stock prices. There have essentially been two reactions to these moves. One camp saw them as smart, proactive steps to front-run a trend toward wider mainstream acceptance. That view holds that at least some amount of bitcoin belongs in everyone’s investment portfolio because it functions as a valuable, uncorrelated asset and that this is now of greater relevance as uncertainty grows around the future of the global financial system. The other camp saw it as a rather cheap, even cynical move to piggyback on bitcoin’s current rising price to boost the firm’s stock price. As of late Thursday, New York time, bitcoin was up 21% from the end of July and up 17% from two weeks earlier. A chicken-and-egg problem complicates the assessment of these two perspectives. These high-profile announcements were not neutral; they directly contributed to bitcoin’s price gains and elevated the conversation around its relevance in hedging strategies. In turn, that boosted these companies’ valuations – especially of MicroStrategy, whose bet was so large that the rising price in BTC materially increased its book value. But bitcoin is, of course, just one of a number of factors that will affect these companies’ share price, and a small one at that. So with that in mind... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 4.10% on Friday. Reversing a 1.14% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $18,652.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning intraday high $19,550.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $19,751, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day low $18,701.0. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall through the first major support level at $19,023 and the second major support level at $18,598. Through the afternoon, Bitcoin briefly revisited $19,150 levels before sliding back into the deep red. The brief recovery had seen Bitcoin move back through the support levels before the 2 nd sell-off. Bitcoin fell back through the first and second major support levels to a late intraday low $18,600.0. Late in the day, however, Bitcoin moved back through the second major resistance level to end the day at $18,650 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest pullback to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Bitcoin Cash SV rose by 3.29% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA (-9.89%), Chainlink (-9.39%), Litecoin (-10.68%), and Ripple’s XRP (-12.07%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-5.43%), Ethereum (-7.93%), and Polkadot (-3.40%) also struggled. Crypto.com Coin saw a more modest 2.29% loss on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $589.96bn before falling to a Tuesday low $525.17bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $545.60bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 62.55% before rising to a Friday high 64.16%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.89%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.62% to $18,767.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $18,498.0 before rising to a high $18,795.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (-0.14%), Crypto.com Coin (-1.25%), and Polkadot (-0.30%) saw red to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up by 3.01% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $18,934 to bring the first major resistance level at 19,268 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $19,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $20,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $19,884. Failure to move through the $18,934 pivot would bring the first major support level at $18,318 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$18,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $17,984.

Zcash has been removed from the trading platform in addition to monero and dash . Decrypt reported last Friday that XMR and DASH had been quietly removed; the delisting of ZEC was not noted.

ZECs removal is somewhat notable because the company invested in the Electric Coin Company, one of the creators of zcash, in 2016, and listed ZEC that October . ShapeShift has become increasingly cognizant of regulators, despite its founder once having a reputation as a rebel and libertarian . Formerly, the platform allowed crypto trading without any kind of account or login, but in September 2018 ShapeShift began requiring customers to reveal their identities to the exchange. Later that month, it faced scrutiny after a Wall Street Journal report alleged that ShapeShift had been widely used for money laundering (ShapeShift strongly refuted the claims ). Privacy coins and bank cops Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Jumps to $14.2K; Ethereum Gas Usage Grows 113% YTD A September report from the law firm Perkins Coie about privacy-enabling cryptocurrencies noted that XMR is a cryptocurrency which is private by default, in that all transactions are made so that only the sender and receiver should know who participated.

He explained to CoinDesk in a phone call that guidance from the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, basically says, you have to make sure you are taking reasonable steps from a cost-benefit analysis to stop the proceeds from crime from flowing through your institution. Because many cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin , make all transactions and balances public, he explained, working with blockchain surveillance firms like Chainalysis or Elliptic can be enough to be seen as taking reasonable steps. That said, privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies will be treated, Van Valkenburgh said, like someone who shows up at a bank with a large bag of cash. They may be subject to greater scrutiny or more thorough background checks (as possible examples). To my knowledge, FinCEN has fairly clearly articulated to regulated crypto companies that there is a way to comply, just as banks deal with cash, Van Valkenburgh said.

The Bank Secrecy Act is extremely broad. It affords prosecutors and regulators with a whole lot of powers, he said. That vagueness about our financial surveillance laws to me is problematic.

While falling short of the first major resistance level at $0.7843, Ripple\x92s XRP broke through the 23.6% FIB of $0.6274 before hitting reverse. The reversal saw Ripple\x92s XRP slide through the 23.6% FIB to a Friday intraweek low $0.5430.

On Wednesday, it topped $18,000 for the first time since 2018. But JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon , speaking at the New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday, reiterated that bitcoin is “just not my cup of tea.” He also predicted governments will soon regulate it more stringently. We’ve heard this from Dimon in the past, and previously in much harsher terms than “not my cup of tea.” In September 2017, Dimon called bitcoin a “ fraud... worse than tulip bulbs ” and predicted it “isn’t going to work.” He also said that if JPMorgan ( JPM ) traders were trading cryptocurrency, “I would fire them in a second, for two reasons: It is against our rules, and they are stupid, and both are dangerous.” Three years later, JPM isn’t quite trading cryptocurrency, but it has warmed to the underlying technology in a number of ways. Jamie Dimon, chairman & CEO of JP Morgan Chase & Co., speaks during the Bloomberg Global Business Forum in New York City, New York, U.S., September 25, 2019. REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton Last year, JPMorgan created JPM Coin , a digital token for internal use by the bank’s institutional clients, and built out an internal blockchain unit (called Onyx) to oversee JPM Coin and blockchain pilots. Crypto purists pointed out that JPM Coin is hardly a true cryptocurrency since it isn’t decentralized, but the move was still seen as the first step toward the bank embracing blockchain for enterprise. (Onyx CEO Umar Farooq wrote in his blog post announcing the launch of JPM Coin, “We have always believed in the potential of blockchain technology, and we are supportive of cryptocurrencies as long as they are properly controlled and regulated.”) Indeed, at the DealBook Summit on Nov. 18, Dimon said, “The blockchain itself will be critical to letting people move money around the world cheaper. We will always support blockchain technology.” In May, JPMorgan went a step further when it began allowing customer transfers to and from Coinbase and Gemini , two U.S.-based regulated crypto exchange sites. And Dimon on Wednesday acknowledged that some “very smart people” are investing in bitcoin these days. (Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones is one of them .) Story continues What it all adds up to is a softening of Dimon’s rhetoric on bitcoin that goes hand in hand with his bank’s gradual cozying to cryptocurrency and blockchain. Dimon is also increasingly willing to comment on what’s going on in the space: last year, in an interview with Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer, Dimon questioned Facebook’s digital currency Libra : “Will they follow banking rules or KYC, BSA, AML [know your customer, Bank Secrecy Act, and anti-money laundering rules], or will they not? But they obviously want to serve their clients, and that’s fine. I also want to be able to serve their clients, too. We would like to do some of it too, ourselves, and we don’t always want to be forced into someone else’s ecosystem.” That suggested Dimon would like to build out more of JPMorgan’s own crypto and blockchain ecosystem, and signs still point to the bank continuing to do that. — Daniel Roberts is an editor-at-large at Yahoo Finance and closely covers bitcoin and blockchain.

A Paris court has found Vinnick guilty of money laundering and has ordered him to pay €100,000 (US$121,000) in fines. Vinnick was arrested in Greece back in 2017 under an international warrant issued by the US Department of Justice and was extradited to France earlier this year.\nThe Justice Department accused Vinnick of operating BTC-e as a front for a massive money laundering operation that accepted stolen funds from cyberattacks. Security firm Wizsec previously linked his private BTC-e accounts to funds stolen fromMt. Gox. If you’ll recall, around $480 million worth of Bitcoins disappeared from the exchange service back in 2014 due to, as Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles called them, "weaknesses in the system."\nThe US DOJ charged Vinnick with 17 counts of laundering up to $4 billion since the exchange was founded in 2011. Meanwhile, French prosecutorschargedhim for “extortion, conspiracy and harming automatic data-processing systems.” French authorities believe he helped create the ransomware “Locky,” which was spread through email and was used to attack French businesses and organizations between 2016 and 2018. At least 20 entities in the country ended up paying ransom money in Bitcoin to get their networks freed.\nVinnik’s side argued in court that he was only a technical operator carrying out instructions from BTC-e’s directors. While the court still ended up convicting him for money laundering, it’s hardly the worst-case scenario for Vinnick. According toZDNet, French prosecutors were only able to prove one of the 14 charges brought against him, and it wasn’t the one involving Locky. That means he was able to avoid the 10-year sentence and the €750,000 fine the prosecutors had requested.', 'Alexander Vinnick, the Russian man who founded and ran the now-defunct Bitcoin exchange service BTC-e, has beensentencedto five years in prison.

The average level of the funding rate across major exchanges has risen sharply from 0.023% to a five-month high of 0.087% in the past 48 hours, according to data source Glassnode . Rising funding rates have in the past been associated with a larger portion of the market utilizing leverage via perpetuals, Matthew Dibb, CEO of Stack Funds, told CoinDesk. If we see continued overleveraging in the derivatives market, bitcoin will be increasingly volatile in the short term. Related: Bitcoin Breaks $19K, New All-Time High Seems Imminent Calculated every eight hours, the funding rate in effect reflects the cost of holding long positions. The metric is used by exchanges offering perpetuals (futures contracts with no expiry) as a mechanism to balance the market and guide perpetual prices toward the spot price. The funding rate is positive (or longs pay shorts) when perpetuals trade at a premium to the spot price. As such, a very high funding rate is widely considered a sign of leverage being excessively skewed to the bullish side, or overbought conditions, as noted on Twitter by market analyst Joseph Young. In such situations, a pullback or consolidation can trigger an unwinding of longs, leading to a deeper drop and a pick up in price volatility. The high funding rate can cause somewhat of a shakeout due to increasing margin liquidations, Dibb said. Holding longs at elevated costs is attractive only if a bull run continues without pauses. Historical data validates Dibbs analysis of the market. Related: XRP Price Surges to 2-Year High as Airdrop Frenzy Builds Bitcoins rally from July lows near $9,000 ran out of steam near $12,400 on Aug. 17 as the average funding rate surged from 0.008% to 0.078%. The cryptocurrency fell back to $10,000 in early September. Story continues Similarly, the recovery rally from March lows below $4,000 ran out of steam near $10,000 in early June with a sudden rise of the funding rate to 0.123%. While the funding rate has risen in the past 48 hours, its still short of the peak seen in June. Further, the uptick may have been partly fueled by liquidity providers hedging sell positions in the spot market by buying long positions in the futures/perpetuals, according to Patrick Heusser, a senior cryptocurrency trader at Zurich-based Crypto Broker AG. In other words, the latest rise in funding rates may not be entirely retail-driven.

Its a first indication that leveraged [traders] are starting to shoot over the target, Heusser told CoinDesk. Bitcoins implied volatility is already rising with the one-month gauge currently hovering at 77%, the highest level since July 8, according to data source Skew. That means the options market is pricing in a rise in volatility over the next four weeks and looks to be preparing for a temporary disruption to the steep rally.

It subsequently retraced slightly to $18,200 by press time, according toCoinDesk’s bitcoin price index.\nThe last timebitcoinexperienced a similar drop was on Dec. 1 after the bellwether cryptocurrency reached an all-time high of around $19,920, per the BPI.\nRelated:Bitcoin's Rising Popularity With Investors Means Gold Will 'Suffer': JPMorgan\nAccording to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, the availability of sizable amounts of bitcoin on exchanges provided by large holders – “whales,” as they are often called – contributed to the price drop.\n“When it comes to short-term price prediction, I think the most important data is supply and demand, said Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant. “I think this plummet was started from bitcoin…whales who wanted to keep their bitcoin on exchanges making them readily available for sell orders.”\nOthers see recent buyers taking their winnings out of the market. Lucas Huang, head of growth at decentralized exchange Tokenlon, noted that from a retail trading perspective, “an 80% increase in bitcoin price over only two months might be a profit too tempting not to take.”\nMeanwhile, another signal may be coming from how Wall Street views the prospects of one particularly large buyer in recent months.

Longer term, we can expect these moves to become less frequent as institutional funds continue surging into the market and the volatility declines further.”\nYet in the near term for technical analysts, the latest price action for bitcoin represents a continuing narrative of lower highs on the daily chart. That signals weakening buyer interest in the midst of increasing daily sell volume.\nShould buyers fail to push prices above $18,600, a likely spell of further downside may break out as the short-term trend flips from bullish to bearish.\nOther notable cryptocurrencies are also suffering, including ether,XRPandlitecoin.

The rollout begins next week, and it will likely be quite difficult. “Although the NHS is well versed in delivering vaccines (it delivers around 15 million flu vaccines per year as an example), the Pfizer/BioNTech candidate has well flagged characteristics that make it more difficult to deliver,” said Dr. Adam Barker, health analyst at Shore Capital. This is because the vaccine needs to be stored at -70C, a bit colder than your average freezer, and delivered in special delivery containers filled with dry ice, which is frozen carbon dioxide, which sublimates. DHL, will help in the logistics of the delivery throughout the country with its “Medical Express” service. The UK has ordered 40 million doses for 20 million people over the course of this year and next. Batch testing has already been completed for the first 800,000 doses. According to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the vaccine will not be mandatory. Bitcoin Back Above $19,000 Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is back above $19,000, having gained over 11% in the past week.

Dominance of the original cryptocurrency compared to the rest the market is now around 62%, slightly down from the peak of 70% hit in 2019 prior to the 2017 run to previous highs just below $20,000.

Says Walter, “The good news is that Financial Reliance offers a way to recover scammed or stolen bitcoin lost to crypto scam, bitcoin scam or online trading scam.” Pelosi, Schumer, Restart Negotiations at $908 Billion House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumerhave agreedon a $908 billion coronavirus bailout bill as the starting point for future negotiations. No official word on what Republican leadership thinks about this yet. Meaning, the next bailout bill will almost certainly top $1 trillion, and probably much more than that. Congress has until December to pass a spending bill or shut down parts of the government, so the next bailout could be ironed out as soon as next week. Schumer and Pelosi spoke about the spirit of compromise while discussing the gargantuan spending plans. “In the spirit of compromise, we believe the bipartisan framework introduced by Senators yesterday should be used as the basis for immediate bipartisan, bicameral negotiations. Of course, we and others will offer improvements, but the need to act is immediate and we believe that with good-faith negotiations we could come to an agreement.” There is no second stimulus check in the deal, though it is likely this will be added in. 123,797 Gun Background Checks for Cyber Monday Lots of gun purchases on cyber Monday this year.

Thus, fixed mining machines and mining power could circulate in the market; the mining power owners could sell or pledge them to obtain liquid funds. It is a good thing for miners to put their fixed assets into circulation. But, this is not the only problem that miners or investors are facing. They also have other concerns, such as the unfairness and opacity of mining power institutions. At present, the majority of mining machines are in the form of pledge to the mining camps, the actual owners of mining machines can only know their own income through the information from the mining camps, and then passively accept. Without supervision of any third party, the credibility of the information provided by mining camps has always been in doubt.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $18,254 to bring the first major resistance level at $18,574 into play. Story continues Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $18,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of a crypto breakout, the second major resistance level at $18,887 and resistance at $19,000 would likely come into play. Failure to move back through the $18,254 pivot would bring the first major support level at $17,941 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $17,621.

Announced Tuesday, the Cordite Society, a co-operative registered in the U.K., released the XDCcrypto token on public Corda, the open-source version of R3’s network. The new regulation-friendly cryptocoin will open the door, say its creators at Cordite, to various decentralized finance (DeFi) applications running on Corda’s distributed ledger technology (DLT). R3 began life as a pay-to-join DLT consortium of big banks, which over time realized the value of hosting a large developer community and created the open-source Corda Network alongside the commercial version of the software. Related:Around 100 Italian Banks Are Officially on a Blockchain In fact, the idea of a “Corda Coin”was floatedat last year’s CordaCon, the annual developer gathering, but only as a research project at that time. Now a reality, the Cordite Society will be minting the first run of 1 million XDC to lubricate applications on Corda. This cooperative is taking advantage of existing U.K. legal structures for mutual societies, a provision also used by DeFi risk mitigation platformNexus Mutual. “XDC is a digital currency in its own right,” said ex-RBS banker and Cordite CEO Richard Crook. “It is issued as an exchange token to Cordite Society members, and as it’s minted or created, will be evenly distributed among those cooperative society members.” The XDC and Cordite Society announcement is timed to coincide withthis year’s CordaCon event. R3 did not return requests for comment by press time.

Firms participating in the Cordite decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) will have compliance baked in, Crook added, since R3 designed the Corda network such that each node represents a legal entity, identified by a trusted identity certificate. This ensures that XDC meets the G20-sanctioned Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards on digital assets to deal with anti-money laundering (AML) risks, a challenge that Ethereum-based DeFi projects continue to be unable to address, Crook said. “Regulators have set the requirements for what a digital currency needs to be, and that’s exactly where XDC fits in,” said Crook. “It meets the requirements of most jurisdictions as a digital currency and is therefore a step ahead. We’re a next-generation Bitcoin or XRP.” In addition, Crook said the XDC code will pave the way for things like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to run on Corda (especially since federal regulators in the U.S. recently announced that national banks can hold reserves for stablecoin issuers), and also allow for what he called “a cleaned-up” expansion of DeFi. “Anything in finance needs to solve the know-your-customer identity problem out of the box, as well as provide privacy between the parties that are transacting,” said Crook. “With many DeFi projects to date, if the technology doesn’t solve that, they seemingly ignore those requirements and wait for regulators to give chase.” The XDC system, with its reliance on the U.K.’s mutual societies legal structure, shows that the core tenets of DeFi are actually centuries old, said Crook.

And that’s why we are showing that with XDC you can mix the legal and the technology components to solve this DeFi requirement set.” U.K.-based institutional crypto player BCB Prime Services (which works with Bitstamp, Coinbase, Galaxy and Kraken) will provide OTC liquidity and custody services for XDC. “A globally scalable ‘currency’ use case of cryptocurrencies has been elusive in over a decade of innovation in this space,” Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie, founder and CEO, BCB Group, said in a statement. “One of the barriers has been closer alignment with existing systems of money, regulations and government, in a way which still preserves the decentralized ethos of the asset class. The XDC digital currency is one of a tiny handful of projects which meets all these complexity criteria and I’m excited to back this project from all angles.” • R3 Corda Network Set to Go DeFi With XDC Digital Currency • R3 Corda Network Set to Go DeFi With XDC Digital Currency... - Reddit Posts (Sample): []...

Approval Imminent Amidst a Virus Surge', 'A startup called Core Scientific announced this week that it hasraised$23 million to expand its cryptocurrency mining operations. The company, based in Bellevue, Wash., is already running crypto mines in North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky, and plans to open more before long.\nIt’s not hard to understand why. Right now, a single Bitcoin—the digital mining equivalent of a gold nugget—is worth around $20,000. Mining a single Bitcoin block brings a reward of 6.25 of them, or about $125,000.\nIf Core Scientific’s mining ventures are successful, the company will not just make a lot of money. It will also help to repatriate crypto production to the United States, where Bitcoin got its start.\nThe recent resurgence in crypto mining feels like a good-news story. Mining companies like Core Scientific are in a position to make money and create jobs in rural areas, while also ensuring more Bitcoin—which is becoming a strategic asset—ends up in American hands.\nBut there are also reasons for caution. The last crypto-mining boom promised similar benefits but resulted in fly-by-night companies leaving a trail of scams and environmental degradation in their wake. Will the outcome be any different this time?\nMining cryptocurrency is different from conventional mining in some obvious ways. There’s no excavating and hauling ore. And the tools of the trade are not pickaxes and dynamite. Instead, crypto miners rely on two things to make a living: custom-designed computer chips and a torrent of electricity. A crypto-mining operation looks like this:\nIn order to find a digital nugget, crypto miners pit their computers against others around the world in a race to solve complex math problems. The computer that solves the problem broadcasts the solution to others on the network and, in doing so, adds a block tothe blockchain—a tamperproof ledger that serves as a public record of transactions. For their trouble, the owner of the winning computer pockets the “block reward,” which is 6.25 Bitcoins in the case of Bitcoin plus transaction fees. The process is repeated every 10 minutes or so.\nIn the early days, when it was still viable to mine Bitcoin with a home laptop, a large proportion of crypto mining took place in the U.S. But as the computer power needed to solve the math problems increased, Chinese mining operations came to dominate.\nThe Chinese miners enjoyed two advantages: easy access to cheap power, including in places like Mongolia, and a domestic manufacturing base capable of cranking out so-called mining rigs—computers with custom chips made just for mining. While there are other mining operations around the globe, China remains far and away the leader, as can be seen inthis chartfrom the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance:\nNow, some U.S. companies believe they can wrest some of the mining pie back from China. In the case of Core Scientific, it has struck arrangements for cheap power across five sites, spanning over 100 acres in total, in Dalton, Ga., Marble, N.C., and Calvert City, Ky. The firm has also cut deals with Chinese manufacturers to get first dibs on the newest mining rigs, and plans to mine not just Bitcoin but so-called alt coins like Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11425.90, 11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49, 13950.30, 14133.71, 15579.85, 15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The skeptics had been proven wrong.\nFinixio has been keeping a close eye on this story for years. The media company publishes a wide variety of content and has done for several years. As a result their expertise in the area is second to none, and they are making their forecast on its future....\nThe History\nIn 2017, Bitcoin rocked the market by reaching an unforeseen peak of $19,783. This made professionals and amateurs alike stand at attention and start to take cryptocurrencies seriously.\nThe dream didn’t last long. Bitcoin was still an extremely volatile asset and the currency crashed spectacularly shortly after. It lost 25% of its value in only a day and by late 2018 it was valued under $4,000. There was no shortage of financial skepticism regarding its future.\nBut Bitcoin had been worth only hundreds in 2016 and mere cents in 2008. Despite its colossal fall, it had stabilized at a price that would still make early adopters unbelievable profits.\nThe Present\nEighteen days before the third year anniversary of its previous high, Bitcoin reached a value of $19,857.03. It began the year around $7100 and by October, it was already exhibiting an amazingly profitable year.\nRenewed interest was sparking, and financial experts had started making amazing predictions from late spring. By the summer it was becoming clear that crypto and digital currency would have a huge role to play in the new global economy.\nBTC started November at $14,000 and ended it with a bang. Monday’s peak was followed by an expected devaluation. By Thursday trading had gone down slightly with exchange data showing only $990 million in trades versus Wednesday’s $1.3 B and November $1.5 B average.\nHowever, this time around people are not expecting a crash. In fact, both enthusiastic and cautious investors are predicting significant gains for Bitcoin in the next two years.\nA Volatile Asset\nEstimates vary wildly as to where the price of Bitcoin will land. Some say that it may reach $60,000 by next year, others believe it might even break $100,000.\nBut Finixio’s own Adam Grunwerg warns that Bitcoin is still a very volatile asset that’s likely to keep experiencing ebbs and flows. In the next year we could see fluctuations as big as 20-30% in BTC value.” As a partner who has traded the rise and fall and rise of the currency over many years, he has the experience to back this up.\nHowever, crypto trading expert Adam is largely optimistic about the future “These fluctuations are not going to be enough to slow it down. Bitcoin will likely break $50,000 in 2021.”\nThe market trend is clear. Despite Bitcoin’s variability, new bull cycles see the highs go higher and the lows get higher as well. This is to say that Bitcoin keeps breaking its previous records and stabilizing at higher prices after its drops.\nWhere is the Trust Coming From?\nThe reason for investors’ newfound faith in crypto has to do with who is doing the investing. In 2017, Bitcoin’s price was driven up by individual investors who believed in the future and value of the technology. At the time though, Bitcoin was not a reputable investment. It was not backed by any assets or by a government and lack of mainstream support was adding to its risk.\nIn 2020, the rise of Bitcoin isdriven by institutional investment. Large hedge funds and publicly traded companies are driving this bull cycle and they don’t present the same reputational drawbacks that retail investors do.\nRecently, Square and Paypal have added c Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [11429.51, 11495.35, 11322.12, 11358.10, 11483.36, 11742.04, 11916.33, 12823.69, 12965.89, 12931.54, 13108.06, 13031.17, 13075.25, 13654.22, 13271.29, 13437.88, 13546.52, 13781.00, 13737.11, 13550.49, 13950.30, 14133.71, 15579.85, 15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

So for crypto traders, why not use the data to get an edge? CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole talked to Philip Gradwell, chief economist at blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis, about the data points he thinks are most important for crypto traders. Below is a condensed list, though Godbole’sfull articleincludes a link to a video of the original interview.

So an uptick is a sign of trend strength. 3)Interexchange flows.Net flow from crypto-to-fiat exchanges to crypto-to-crypto exchanges suggests the market is dominated by stablecoin traders. In this scenario, a rise in the stablecoin’s issuance could be considered a leading indicator of an impending price rally. 4)Liquidity.A sustained rise in the number of illiquid entities – defined as those that send less than 25% of the assets it receives – is a sign of a strong long-term holding sentiment, and thus a bullish indicator. 5)Value transfers across blockchains.The metric represents usage of the blockchain and is typically accompanied by a rise in the transaction count. “When there’s greater usage of a cryptocurrency there’s more demand, and that drives the price up,” Gradwell said. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Five On-Chain Indicators Investors Should Follow Bitcoin is eyeing its biggest weekly gain in six months. The cryptocurrency is currently trading near $13,000, representing a 13% appreciation on a week-to-date basis, the most since April. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s share of bitcoin’s futures market has increased alongside the price rally. As of Thursday, bitcoin futures contracts worth $790 million were open on the CME, according to data source Skew. That’s 15.8% of the global open interest tally of $5 billion – the second highest contribution among major exchanges. The exchange’s contribution to global open positions has jumped from 10% to 15.8% this month alone, indicating increased institutional participation. From a technical analysis perspective, the focus is on the weekly close (Sunday, 23:59 UTC). If the cryptocurrency finishes above $12,476 (August high), a bullish breakout would be confirmed on the weekly chart. That looks likely, as demand for the cryptocurrencyis strong. A breakout would strengthen the case for a rally to $14,000 before the year-end. – Omkar Godbole Read More:CME’s Rise in Bitcoin Futures Rankings Signals Growing Institutional Interest Bitcoin (BTC):Hedge fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones II tells CNBC that bitcoin rally isonly in “first inning.” Tether (USDT):Chinese authoritiescrack down on gambling sitesusing dollar-linked stablecoin.

Related:Gold Lags Far Behind Bitcoin as Vaccine Optimism Buoys Markets According to several analysts, the climbing value of bitcoin is also giving the world’s oldest cryptocurrency an increasing use as value storage for lending, both from centralized players and in decentralized finance, or DeFi. Since November 2019,the amount of bitcoin “locked” in DeFi, for example, has skyrocketed from 1,422 to 174,673 BTC, a 12,183% increase. “Lending has gained popularity in 2020 with players like Nexo, BlockFi and others with strong growth throughout the year,” said Jean Baptiste Pavageau, partner at quant trading firm ExoAlpha. “DeFi also allows the retail market to access those popular lending solutions thanks to the Ethereum network.” “It actually provides a strong use case for BTC beyond the digital gold narrative, as it’s used as a pooling and yielding instrument,” said Vishal Shah, an options trader and founder of crypto exchange Alpha5. Shah also speculates that all this bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain may decrease the separation between blockchains. “It may actually create a chain-agnostic paradigm.” Ether(ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was up Monday trading around $462 and climbing 4% in 24 hours as of 21:00 UTC (4:00 p.m. ET).

That number of transactions was first experienced three years ago during the 2017-2018 crypto market bubble. Token swapping and stablecoins are a big part of this, as 35% of the network’s transactions are on Uniswap (18.93%) and involvetether(16.42%) on Monday, according toEth Gas Station. “I think this is proof of the continued traction that Ethereum has been seeing as a platform during the second half of 2020,” noted Ben Chan, vice president of engineering for oracle provider ChainLink. Uniswap’s transaction dominance in particular is a bullish sign on decentralized finance, or DeFi, according to Chan. “Unlike tether, which can move to other chains, DeFi is more sticky because assets and components of the ecosystem in themselves perpetuate a network effect.” Digital assets on theCoinDesk 20are all green Monday.

A choppy end to the day, however, saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to sub-$19,400 before ending the day at $19,450 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the recovery to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 5.85% to lead the way down once more. Cardano’s ADA (-3.08%), Binance Coin (-1.70%), Chainlink (-1.17%), and Litecoin (-1.24%) also struggled. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.95%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.14%), Ethereum (+0.46%), and Polkadot (+6.00%) bucked the trend on the day. For the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $545.05bn before rising to a Tuesday high $566.22bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $554.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 64.21% before rising to a Tuesday high 64.85%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.80%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.50% to $19,361.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $19,481.0 before falling to a low $19,317.8. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 0.97% to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Chainlink and Ripple’s XRP were down by 2.19% and by 2.16% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $19,379 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,687 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $19,607.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,700 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $19,916 and resistance at $20,000 could come into play. Failure to move back through the $19,379 pivot would bring the first major support level at $19,150 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $18,842.

Congressional negotiators were "closing in on" a $900 billion COVID-19 aid bill, lawmakers and aides said on Wednesday, with the tone the most positive it\'s been in months. Across the Atlantic, the European Union\'s chief executive said a deal with the UK was nearer, although success wasn\'t guaranteed. "As the world gets more optimistic about the outlook for growth in 2021, the dollar has softened," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at broker CMC Markets in Sydney. "Further weakening of the dollar is on the cards." The euro traded at $1.21945 early in the Asian day, after reaching $1.22120 on Wednesday, the strongest since April 2018. The pound bought $1.3500 having risen to $1.3553 the previous session for the first time since May 2018. The Federal Reserve on Wednesday vowed to keep funnelling cash into financial markets until the U.S. economic recovery is secure, a promise of long-term help that fell short of some investors\' hopes of an immediate move to shore up a recent pandemic-related slide. The dollar index jerked higher after the Fed\'s announcement, but then sank back towards the day\'s low of 90.126, a level not seen since April 2018. The greenback was little changed at 103.475 yen, another safe haven currency. The Australian dollar was also largely steady at 75.807 U.S. cents, while its New Zealand peer slipped 0.1% to 71.05 U.S. cents. Bitcoin traded at $21,342 after smashing through the $20,000 barrier for the first time overnight, and extending as high as $21,420 on Thursday.

(PYPL) shares surged 5.5% to a new all-time high (ATH)Wednesdayafter the digital payments company announced it plans to introduce cryptocurrencies to its platform. The firm said that it will initially allow U.S. customers to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin within their PayPal wallet in the coming weeks, followed by the ability to purchase goods and services using cryptocurrencies by early next year. Management believes the company’s move into digital currencies will significantly increase their utility. “Consumers will be able to instantly convert their selected cryptocurrency balance to fiat currency, with certainty of value and no incremental fees,” the company said,per MarketWatch. PayPal also indicated that it wants to work alongside central banks and regulators to help share digital currencies’ role in the future of online payments. As of Oct. 22, 2020, PayPal stock has a $250 billion market capitalization and is up nearly 100% on the year. In the past three months alone, the shares have added over 20%. By comparison, over the same periods, the Nasdaq Composite has risen 28% and 7.27%, respectively. From a valuation standpoint, the stock trades at a 42% premium to its five-year average forward earnings multiple of around 32 times. Barclays analyst Ramsey El-Assal raised the bank’s price target on PayPal yesterday to $235 from $228 and reiterated his ‘Overweight’ rating on the shares. EL-Assal sees COVID-related tailwinds supporting the company as e-commerce sales remain at elevated levels, despite easing slightly quarter-over-quarter. Meanwhile, Wolfe Research’s Darrin Peller told clients in a research note that the move into cryptocurrency “represents among the more import steps for crypto utility/normalization we have seen in years.” Elsewhere on Wall Street, analysts remain overwhelmingly bullish on the stock. It receives 34 ‘Buy’ ratings, 3 ‘Overweight’ ratings, and 6 ‘Hold’ ratings. Only one analyst currently recommends selling the shares. Price targets range from a Street high $290 to a low of $200, with the average consensus forecast pegged at $220. This implies a 3% premium to Wednesday’s $213.07 close. PayPal shares trended sharply high between mid-March and early August but have remained rangebound since. Therefore, yesterday’s breakout on heavy volume to a fresh ATH may trigger further buying in subsequent trading sessions. Those who position for additional gains should consider using a fast period moving average, such as a 15-day SMA, as a trailing stop. To implement this exit strategy, remain in the trade until the share price closes below the indicator.

Twelve months later, as the charts below show, global financial markets have been on a roller coaster like no other. JANUARY JITTERS The coronavirus wasn\'t even the first thing that spooked the markets this year. The tone was set when an escalation of an oil market turf war between Saudi Arabia and Russia sent oil prices crashing more than 5% on Jan 8. Just days later, though, China\'s stock markets began to fall as a cluster of more than 50 pneumonia cases in Wuhan city sparked a warning from the WHO that there could be a new SARS-like virus. Oil continued to fall as traders began worrying about a drop in Chinese demand, but other major markets were not seriously affected until mid-February, when it became clear the virus was rapidly spreading out of Asia. Cue carnage. From Feb. 20 to March 24, as Europe\'s big economies locked down, MSCI\'s 49-country world share index lost more than a third of its value, haemorrhaging a staggering $18 trillion. (Graphic: Trillion dollar carnage - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/gjnpwkjqqpw/Pasted%20image%201608259599744.png) Wall Street\'s S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq slumped 35%, 38% and 30% respectively. London and Frankfurt\'s internationally exposed FTSE and DAX markets dropped 35% and 40%. Japan\'s Nikkei fell 30%. Chinese stocks saw a more modest 16% drop. "In retrospect, I felt I was one of the villagers in the boy who cried wolf story," said Ben Inker, head of asset allocation at investment firm GMO. "We had seen a number of potential pandemics never really develop ... we were assuming that this was going to be contained, and when it didn\'t we understood why the world was freaking out." For reference, the record quarterly drop for Wall Street was 40% in 1932, the onset of the Great Depression. The fact that the S&P and Dow were at record highs in mid-February made the crash this time seem more brutal.

What Happened: Meanwhile, 24-hour volume for Bitcoin stood at $31.59 billion on Friday. The top BTC/USD exchanges Coinbase Pro and Kraken saw volumes of $104.97 million and $37.62 million, respectively, at press time, as per CoinMarketCap data, while, itBit’s 24-hour volume stood at $6.8 million — dropping in line with the wider market. The significant uptick in volume on the exchange follows its partnership with PayPal on the financial technology company's cryptocurrency foray. Why It Matters: The Peter Thiel-co-founded PayPal began offering Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Litecoin (LTC) access to its customers in late October. This month PayPal said it would add cryptocurrency services to its Venmo app by the first half of 2021 and also allow international users to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency by the same time frame. PayPal CEO Daniel Schulman said the move was “beginning of the opportunities” in relation to the company’s cryptocurrency foray and said it would work with regulators to “accept new forms of digital currencies.” Price Action: PayPal shares closed 0.25% lower at $188.62 on Friday.

The S-1 is “expected to become effective” after the SEC completes its review, the company said. The timing of the filing is no accident. Bitcoin ( BTC ) surged past the $20,000 mark on Wednesday to a new all-time-high and has continued to climb, reaching close to $24,000. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap is up 220% in 2020, driven by a combination of institutional investment and public buy-in from consumer-facing payments companies like PayPal and Square . Coinbase caters to the retail side with its main exchange, and allows for more advanced trading (like limit orders) on its Coinbase Pro product. It currently supports more than 40 cryptocurrencies in the U.S. The company launched in 2012, cofounded by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam, and was most recently valued at $8 billion. In July, the company said it has 35 million users in 100 countries . It has been called the Goldman Sachs of cryptocurrency—in part because of its high trading fees . The company is profitable—a rarity among recent tech unicorn listings —and has been for the past three years . Coinbase has become the go-to household name site for retail investors looking to buy cryptocurrency for the first time—if they have heard of any exchange at all. There are other exchanges in the U.S. (Gemini, Kraken), and globally (Binance, Huobi, OkCoin), but arguably none has the brand recognition that Coinbase has built. The Coinbase IPO would mark the first U.S. cryptocurrency company to go public, a major milestone for the maturity of the industry, and could be one of the hottest tech IPOs of 2021. SAN FRANCISCO, CA - SEPTEMBER 07: Coinbase Co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong speaks onstage during Day 3 of TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2018 at Moscone Center on September 7, 2018 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Steve Jennings/Getty Images for TechCrunch) The company has also been at the center of multiple controversies in 2020. In September, CEO Brian Armstrong issued a public memo declaring that he wants Coinbase to be an apolitical company where employees don’t discuss politics or social issues. The memo was reportedly a follow-up to an internal conflict that arose after Armstrong was unprepared, at an internal town hall, to answer a question about his stance on the Black Lives Matter movement. His memo was criticized by many inside and outside of tech, though found some supporters among venture capitalists. Story continues Last month, following the fallout of the Coinbase Memo, the New York Times reported on a handful of Black former employees who allege discriminatory treatment by the company. Coinbase put out a memo before the Times story was published in an attempt to get ahead of the story. It’s unclear whether these issues have hurt the company at all. “Coinbase was the first mover, and they've got such a moat, and they really have branded themselves as the mainstream place to go,” Jeff Roberts, author of a new book about Coinbase, “Kings of Crypto,” said on Yahoo Finance Live this week . “I know a lot of the crypto purists have objections with them, but as you said, the reality is, if anyone's going to buy crypto, the only company they've heard of is Coinbase. And that's been a huge benefit to them. For the more ideological people, they have other options. But for the average person who wants to buy a little bit of bitcoin, almost invariably, Coinbase is where they're going.” — Daniel Roberts is an editor-at-large at Yahoo Finance and closely covers bitcoin and blockchain.

When they were first introduced in the markets, everyone became seasoned crypto traders because the hassle and confusion weren\'t there anymore. We wanted to take our time to review Bitcoin Up so that you can make an informed decision about your investments. From the positive testimonials we read, we knew we wanted to learn more about it and see how it worked. What\'s Bitcoin Up? Bitcoin Up is a crypto auto-trading platform. It performs the live trades for you and can assess the market to determine the best deals for you. Of course, you\'ve got to be a member, so you need an account with funds. Story continues How Does It Work? Our review of Bitcoin Up was exhaustive. The process required us to use every feature and know that everything worked. With software engineers, business analysts, and crypto traders on the team, we all had a say in what we saw. Everyone was quite happy with the results. In fact, Bitcoin Up is a superb cryptocurrency auto-trading platform and can make people rich quickly. We are happy about this because more auto trading robots need to be on the market that is good. The goal is to help others gain financial freedom by being legitimate and helpful. Since Bitcoin Up uses AI and Machine Learning, the robots can assess the markets and start/finish trades for the user. You don\'t have any stress while earning a passive income from home. Try Bitcoin Up Free Today How to Use It We went through each of the steps we list below to make sure that it was going to be easy enough for anyone to do it. Just open your Bitcoin Up account, make your deposit, and then choose automated live trades. The robots take over to trade for you. When the session ends, we ended up with our capital and some profits. When you join and fund the account, you can then make trades on Bitcoin Up. The lowest deposit option for this software is $250, though you can add up to $15,000 in one go. Consider the steps that we list and followed when we tested Bitcoin Up: Register The first step is to create an account on Bitcoin Up. The process was fast because you only need a phone number, email address, and name. Of course, you also create a password or let the site do it for you. Demo Trades There is a demo trade feature on Bitcoin Up, which is excellent news. Crypto auto-trading platforms should provide a demo feature because that shows they are transparent. When you can see how the process works, you are more comfortable adding funds and taking on real trades (or letting the robot do it for you). The whole thing was flawless and enjoyable. Transferring Funds Before you can start live trades, you need to deposit your capital into the Bitcoin Up account. When we did this, there were many payment choices, such as Visa, Skrill, PayPal, and MasterCard. Since they\'re popular and offer many currency options, almost anyone in the world can use Bitcoin Up. We just transferred the base amount of $250. We feel that new investors should really start with the lowest investment choice. That way, they don\'t risk too much and can grow their capital. We do encourage each investor to try out the demo trading feature. It\'s so easy to use. Of course, there\'s a lot of information to gather here, and you\'re going to understand auto-trading much more when you\'re finished and ready for live trades. Live Trading We initially thought it would be hard to do the live trades, but it wasn\'t! In a sense, we just clicked to activate the robot, and the trades started for us. First, the robots had to scan the crypto market to find the best deals. This was done within seconds. When it found one, the system completed everything for us using our Bitcoin Up funds. It was quick, effortless, and perfect. Important Bitcoin Up Features Payouts We feel that the payout system is accurate and transparent. The company calculates it minus the fee, and you get your funds in your account right after the session has ended. Verification You do have to submit your account details to get them verified, but the process is automatic and fast. This is essential to make sure that everything is right and correct. Withdrawals No system is going to be any good if it doesn\'t allow you to withdraw your earnings. You can do so easily with Bitcoin Up. In fact, we got our money into our bank account 24 hours after we requested it. Everything is straightforward and easy to understand, too. Service Charge There is a service charge, which is a percentage taken from your profit immediately after the live session ends. However, that is the only one on the platform and seems legitimate to us. Customer Service We don\'t think you\'re going to have questions or problems, but you can contact someone from the staff 24/7. The team is excited about Bitcoin Up. We feel that it can be hard to understand protocols for cryptocurrency, but you don\'t need to when you use this software. You can get rich without any effort and let the robots do the work for you. Beginners might benefit from these helpful tips: Invest Smaller Amounts It\'s often best to invest a minimum of $250 at first. That way, you can learn more about the system while the money multiplies. It only took us a few days to triple that minimum amount, so you\'re going to see returns quickly. Withdraw Make sure that you\'re withdrawing your earnings after each live trade session. You can also save some to reinvest. Follow the Trends You\'re probably interested in the cryptocurrency market, so you should follow the trends. Since you are an investor now, it\'s helpful to know what\'s going on. Don\x92t Over-Invest Make sure that you\x92re not investing money that needs to go toward bills or is part of your life savings. There is a risk of losing the investment, and you don\x92t want to find yourself in financial hardship. Is there an app for Bitcoin Up? No, we couldn\x92t find a mobile app for phones and other devices. However, you don\x92t need it. The auto trading platform is accessible from a browser, which is on smartphones and laptops. The Verdict We were completely satisfied while using Bitcoin Up and find that it was an excellent experience. Therefore, we\'re recommending it to those who desire to earn a passive income and get rich. Bitcoin Up works well, and we tested every feature. We also used the live trade, made profits, and withdrew the earnings all without issue. The simple system is easy to use and impressive. Just spend a little bit of time at your computer, and you can earn money. >> Open an Account Today << FAQs Though we covered a lot in the review, here are a few questions we often get asked about. What\'s the success rate for Bitcoin Up? We spent a lot of time analyzing Bitcoin Up, and we can say the success rate is high for the transactions you make here. Have any celebrities endorsed Bitcoin Up? No, we found no information indicating that celebrities have used or endorsed this auto-trading platform. Still, we feel that some auto-traders use this as a gimmick to get you to use the system, so we aren\'t worried that Bitcoin Up doesn\'t have this. Can I withdraw everything in crypto? No, the earnings you make are first converted into your local currency and then sent to your bank. Is Bitcoin Up safe? Yes, we have confirmed that any communications on the site and data entered into the platform are secure and encrypted for your protection. Who should use Bitcoin Up?

It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to a late morning intraday low $22,348.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $21,705, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $23,812.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $23.898, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at $23,805 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $24,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $11,733 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.29%), Crypto.com Coin (-2.11%), and Ripple’s XRP (-13.20%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Litecoin rallied by 9.40% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+4.56%), Chainlink (+3.95%), and Ethereum (+4.73%) also found strong support. Cardano’s ADA (+2.36%), and Polkadot (+0.85%) trailed the front runners on the day. At the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $671.47bn before sliding to a low $601.73bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $648.64bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 66.74% to a Tuesday high of 68.36%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 68.18%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.13% to $23,774.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $23,691.0 before rising to a high $23,853.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+1.76%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.62%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.18%), and Polkadot (+0.28%) found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. Story continues At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 5.42% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $23,322 to bring the first major resistance level at $24,296 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $24,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $24,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $24,786. Failure to avoid a fall through the $23,322 pivot would bring the first major support level at $22,832 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$22,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $21,858.

(TSX.V:HIVE)(OTCQX:HVBTF)(FSE:HBF) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) is pleased to announce, subject to regulatory approval, that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “ Transaction ”) of unsecured debentures (the “ Debentures ”), for aggregate gross proceeds of USD$15,000,000 with U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (“ U.S. Global ”). The Debentures will mature on the date that is 60 months from the date of issuance, bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The Debentures will be issued at par, with each Debenture being redeemable by HIVE at any time, and convertible at the option of the holder into common shares (each, a “ Share ”) in the capital of the Company at a conversion price of CAD$3.00 per Share. Interest will be payable monthly and principal will be payable quarterly. In addition, U.S. Global will be issued 5.0 million common share purchase warrants (the “ Warrants ”). Each whole Warrant will entitle U.S. Global to acquire one common at an exercise price of CAD$3.00 per Share for a period of three years from closing. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Transaction for general corporate purposes and working capital. Mr. Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE, commented, “The Transaction is an excellent opportunity for HIVE to enhance liquidity, maintain momentum and deploy capital into additional miners and infrastructure. U.S. Global has recently sold shares of HIVE in order to redeploy capital back into HIVE. No shares have been sold by me personally. The purchase of an 8% debt instrument by U.S. Global is consistent with its investment criteria and assists HIVE by providing working capital for its growth strategy. The financing is being completed without the usual 6% broker fees, and the cost of capital is much less than the 16% cost of capital associated with leasing equipment for crypto mining.” Story continues The issuance of the Debentures is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and is expected to close on or about December 31, 2020. The issuance of the Debentures to U.S. Global Investors, Inc. is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”) as Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE is a director, officer and controlling shareholder of U.S. Global Investors, Inc. HIVE intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Company not listed on specific markets and the Transaction fair market value not exceeding 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Transaction was approved by the independent directors of HIVE and U.S. Global Investors, Inc. The Company expects to file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction less than twenty-one days prior to the closing of the Transaction, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances as the details of the Transaction and the participation by U.S. Global Investors, Inc. were not settled until shortly before the expected closing of the Transaction and the Company wished to complete the Transaction in an expeditious manner.

In a sign of persistent dip demand, sudden pullback to $17,200 seen following the breakout to fresh 34-month highs was quickly reversed. “Bitcoinwill now be setting its sights on the all-time high of $20,000,” Simon Peters, crypto asset analyst at multi-asset investment platform eToro, said in an email. “The last time bitcoin hit the $20,000 mark was in 2017 and retail investors piled in as they experienced crypto FOMO.” Intraditional markets, European shares and U.S. stock futures gained ground, and safe havens such as gold and the dollar weakened as investors continued to price in prospects of swift global recovery on potential coronavirus vaccines. Related:Irish Man Gets 3 Years in Prison for Stealing $2.5M in Crypto Through SIM Hacks Has betting on bitcoin become a crowded trade? That was the assessment of some 4% of global fund managers in a monthly survey published Tuesday by Bank of America, when asked to name the “most crowded trade.” The response “long bitcoin” ranked behind “long U.S. tech” (65%), “short U.S. banks” (11%), “long corporate bonds” (9%) and “long gold” (5%): A few things come to mind. 1) It’s hard to argue that “long bitcoin” is particularly crowded right now, given how many big investors have yet to assert that the trade has any merit at all. On Tuesday, Ray Dalio, CEO of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund,tweetedseveral “problems with bitcoin being an effective currency,” including its limited usability as a form of payment. “What am I missing?” Dalio wrote. (#CryptoTwitter hadplenty of responsesfor that.) Related:Deutsche Bank Says Investors Increasingly Prefer Bitcoin Over Gold as Inflation Hedge According Mati Greenspan, founder of the foreign exchange and cryptocurrency research firm Quantum Economics, price-chart patterns suggest that bitcoin was “due for a pullback a long time ago.” “But the fundamentals are firmly in control right now as increasingly large players are entering this tiny market,” Greenspan wrote Tuesday. In other words, people arejust starting to arrive. 2) If the trade is crowded, then a lot of investors must be overjoyed athow well it’s working outthis year. Bitcoin shot past $17,000 Tuesday, and then $18,000 early Wednesday, rising to levels not seen in three years and with prices up more than 150% year to date. That compares with 12% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks. This might be a sign the rally is overdone. But asdiscussed previously by First Mover, a lot of investment decisions are made on the basis ofbackward-looking track records. Few big banks have made a serious push into cryptocurrencies, but Germany’s Deutsche Bank has described bitcoin as the world’s best-performing asset in 2021. “If you knew 10,000 people who owned bitcoin, you could phone all of them and congratulate them on their success,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading for the cryptocurrency firm Diginex, wrote Tuesday. “Thing is, you don’t know 10,000 people who own bitcoin, you probably only know a handful. And they will all say the same thing: ‘I don’t own enough.'” 3) Market signals suggest that interest among big investors is growing, not plateauing – indicating there’s no shortage of traders looking to put more money into the trade. Openinterest in bitcoin futures has climbedto above $6 billion from $4 billion as recently as October, according to the data firm Skew. Even those amounts are still tiny fractions of bitcoin’s total market capitalization, currently about $325 billion. 4) The number of active bitcoin addresses recently climbed to about 1.2 million, but that’s still a touch below levels witnessed during bitcoin’s bull run of 2017, when prices surged to an all-time high near $20,000. According to the Norwegian cryptocurrency analysis firmArcane Research, “the number of active addresses has grown more organically in 2020, without a surging and dramatic spike as witnessed in late 2017.” “The increase in active addresses indicate that bitcoin is seeing increased usage and adoption,” Arcane wrote Tuesday in a report. “This is a bullish and healthy sign and underlines the strength of the current bull run.” 5) The reality is that nobody really knows how to value bitcoin. It’s an 11-year-old cryptocurrency, too short of a timeline to really evaluate what it might be worth in the future, especially when neither Federal Reserve nor private economists can agree on the likelihood of eventual runaway inflation from this year’s trillions of dollars of coronavirus-related stimulus, or on the impact of epochal changes like theshift to remote working. Bitcoin has no earnings, so it can’t be valued like a stock, and it has no yield, so it can’t be valued like a bond. The price is really just a function of how many people want to buy it, versus the amount that’s created every day by cryptocurrency miners. (By the way, that’s about 900 bitcoin per day, worth about $15.3 million at current prices.) Dalio argues that governments will “outlaw it and make it too dangerous to use” if bitcoin becomes too popular. But according to that same Bank of America fund-manager survey, some 3%-4% of global fund managers think bitcoin is the asset class most likely to outperform in 2021. (Emerging markets ranked first, followed by the S&P 500, oil and gold.) So roughly the same percentage of respondents see bitcoin prices climbing higher as those who see the trade as overcrowded. These are all just guesses about what the future holds, of course. ACitigroup analyst recently predicted the price could pass $300,000by the end of next year. If that’s the case, there’slittle reason for the crowd to disperse. Bitcoin’s recent rally from $10,000 to $18,000 looks similar to the steep rise to record highs near $20,000 seen in the final quarter of 2017. However, that does not necessarily mean the market is now nearing a top. While the 2017 rally peaked in December, the current rally looks to have legs, according to the Mayer Multiple, which is the ratio of price to the 200-day moving average. At press time, the ratio stands at a 16-month high of 1.67. However, the metric is still well short of the 2.4 threshold that has historically signaled the final leg of the bull markets. The ratio rose above 2.4 on Dec. 1, 2017, after which bitcoin doubled in value to $20,000 in just two weeks before falling back to $12,000 on Dec. 22. Similar price action was observed in April and November 2013 after the ratio rose above 2.4. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Bitcoin Indicator Suggests Bull Market Is Still in Early Phase CME sees record high open interest for bitcoin futures on wave of institutional inflows (CoinDesk) Grayscale (a unit of CoinDesk parent company Digital Currency Group) says assets under management broke $10B (CoinDesk) One of Mexico’s billionaires reveals 10% of his liquid assets are in bitcoin (CoinDesk) Crypto-friendly U.S. regulator Brooks gets nod from Trump to serve 5-year term leading OCC (CoinDesk) Traders brace for major volatility as bitcoin price nears record high (CoinDesk) Zcash undergoes first halving as major upgrade drops ‘Founders Fund’ (CoinDesk) OKEx mining pool flatlines after 99.5% hash power drop as withdrawal suspensions spook clients (CoinDesk) U.S. retail sales lose speed as pandemic, lack of fiscal stimulus weigh (Reuters) Saudi Arabia’s state oil company, Saudi Aramco, selling $8B of bonds to raise cash as low crude prices dent finances (Reuters) Trump Federal Reserve nominee Judy Shelton (who advocated returning to gold standard) fails key Senate procedural vote (CNBC) New York tourisim industry, which supported 400,000 jobs and $46B of annual spending in local hospitality industry, won’t recover until 2025 (NYT) Roughly 300 companies that received about $500M of emergency loans from the U.S. government have filed for bankruptcy (WSJ) • First Mover: As Bitcoin Shoots Past $18K, There’s Comfort in the Crowded Trade • First Mover: As Bitcoin Shoots Past $18K, There’s Comfort in the Crowded Trade... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, rose by 2.31% on Thursday. Reversing most of Wednesday’s 2.50% fall, Bitcoin ended the day at $23,743.5. It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $22,701.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $22,527, Bitcoin rallied to a final hour intraday high $23,790.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $24,016, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at $23,740 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $24,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $11,733 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Crypto.com Coin slid by 5.12% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP surged by 29.65% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+11.78%) and Litecoin (+8.53%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+4.15%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.85%), Chainlink (+5.17%), Ethereum (+4.60%), and Polkadot (+6.11%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $671.50bn before sliding to a Wednesday low $590.85bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $635.77bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 66.74% to a Wednesday high of 71.14%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 69.01%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down 0.39% to $23,651.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $23,831.0 before falling to a low $23,567.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.67%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.94%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.96%), and Polkadot (+0.42%) found early support to buck the trend early on. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 0.72% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $23,412 to bring the first major resistance level at $24,122 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $24,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $24,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $24,501. Failure to avoid a fall through the $23,412 pivot would bring the first major support level at $23,033 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$23,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $22,323.

Regulators and the Bulls may have to Battle it out! The Crypto Daily – Movers and Shakers – December 25th, 2020 European Equities: A Week in Review – 25/12/20', 'The Majors It was a mixed week for the European majors in the shortened week ending 24 th December 2020. German and Italian markets were closed on Thursday and Friday, with France on a shortened session on Thursday. The DAX30 and CAC40 fell by 0.32% and by 0.10% respectively, while the EuroStoxx600 rose by 0.02%. A bearish start to the week left the majors in the deep red. News of a new coronavirus strain in the UK and a lack of progress towards a Brexit deal weighed. EU member states and beyond banned UK travel in response to the news of the new strain in a bid to avoid exposure to the more virulent strain. Sentiment shifted on Tuesday, however, supporting recovery from Monday’s sell-off. Support kicked in following news of U.S lawmakers agreeing on an $892bn COVID-19 stimulus package, however. Even news of Trump’s unwillingness to sign the stimulus bill failed to sink the majors. Expectations are that a more substantial and meaningful package would provide more material support to the economic recovery. In spite of the negative news on the COVID-19 front, news of an imminent Brexit deal also delivered support for the majors. The Stats It was a quiet week on the economic calendar. Key stats included Flash Eurozone Consumer Confidence and German GfK Consumer Climate figures. For the Eurozone, the Flash Consumer Confidence Indicator rose from -17.6 to -13.9. In spite of the uptick, the indicator remained well below its long-run average of -11.2, however. From Germany, the GfK Consumer Climate Indicator fell from -6.7 to -7.3 in January. Economists had forecasted a larger decline to -8.8. A fall in income expectations weighed on the headline figure, with the latest spike in new COVID-19 cases and lockdown measures raising uncertainty. On Wednesday, finalized 3 rd quarter GDP figures from Spain had a muted impact on the majors. Spain’s economy expanded by 16.4% in the 3 rd quarter, according to finalized figures, revised down from a prelim 16.7%. In the 2 nd quarter, the economy had contracted by 17.9%, quarter-on-quarter. From the U.S Economic data was on the heavier side, with November core durable goods, personal spending, and inflation figures in focus. Weekly jobless claims figures also drew interest ahead of the holidays. In the week ending 18 th December, initial jobless claims stood at 805k, falling back from an upwardly revised 892k from the previous week. Durable goods orders were also positive, with orders rising by 0.9% in November, following a 1.8% increase in October. Core durable goods fell short of forecasts, however, rising by 0.4%. In October, core durable goods orders had increased by 1.9%. Story continues On the negative, however, was a fall in personal spending. In November, personal spending fell by 0.4%, reversing a 0.3% rise in October. Economists had forecasted a 0.2% decline. Inflation figures were market neutral in spite of falling short of forecasts.

Such ETFs hauled in $2.5 billion already this month, putting the group on pace for $20 billion in 2020 year-to-date inflows, according to Bloomberg . The phenomenon is largely attributed to retail investors and the Robinhood crowd, but $20 billion is a big number to pin on smaller number investors. Even if that's all retail money (it's not), that figure implies professional investors are really missing out when it comes to fintech ETFs . Consider the case of the Global X FinTech ETF (NASDAQ: FINX ), which is higher by 33.06% year-to-date, beating the S&P 500 by a margin of almost 3-to-1. Why It's Important : Home to nearly $792 million in assets under management, FINX is more than 4 years old, making it seasoned among thematic funds and ancient by the standards of fintech ETFs. FINX tracks the Indxx Global FinTech Thematic Index and holds 33 stocks, a stable that focuses on companies “a range of innovations helping to transform established industries like insurance, investing, fundraising, and third-party lending through unique mobile and digital solutions,” according to Global X . Investor enthusiasm for FINX is palpable. Month-to-date, the fintech ETF is on the receiving end of $6.11 million of inflows. Year-to-date, the number is nearly $156 million, representing a hefty percentage of the fund's total assets under management. What's Next : PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL ) and Square (NYSE: SQ ), two of the most recognizable large-cap fintechs, are driving the group, providing a tailwind for FINX because the ETF allocates almost 14% to that duo. The exposure of those companies to the booming cryptocurrency market is another catalyst for FINX. “PayPal, a pioneer in the digital payments industry, now offers users the ability to transact with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” according to Global X research. “The platform’s expanded cryptocurrency functionality also allows users to buy, hold, and sell Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin.” Story continues For companies like PayPal, there are tangible benefits to adding crypto services and rival Square proves as much. “Square and Robinhood are two examples of companies that increased revenue after implementing cryptocurrency services. Square reported that revenue from Bitcoin reached $875 million in Q2 2020, a 600% year-over-year increase,” according to Global X. Disclosure: The author owns shares of Square .

Between 1961 and 1963, the boys would play rock-n-roll nightly to a small but dedicated audience of fans. Those lucky enough to see The Beatles during this period understood they were witnessing something special and spread word of the band to their friends. Over time, the crowds grew bigger and The Beatles eventually became too popular for their hometown venue. Not six months after playing their last show at the Cavern, they had a number one record and were playing to millions on the Ed Sullivan show. That’s hyper-Beatlization for you. This post is part of CoinDesk’s 2020 Year in Review – a collection of op-eds, essays and interviews about the year in crypto and beyond. Justin Wales is a lawyer and the co-chair of Carlton Fields’ national blockchain and virtual currency practice. He is the author of “Bitcoin is Speech Notes Toward Developing the Conceptual Contours of Its Protection Under the First Amendment.” I assure you this article is about Bitcoin. Related: Public Blockchains Are Set to Reshape Global Commerce (2020 Was the Start) For those lucky enough to see The Beatles in Liverpool, watching them go on to become “bigger than Jesus” must have been a mixed bag. Seeing something you loved first become accepted by the entire world is validating, but it also means that thing is no longer just for you. You now have to share it with the world and that risks it losing the qualities that attracted you to it in the first place. Before you know it, your favorite band is just a corporate brand used to sell socks . Thinking about what it was like to watch The Beatles play some grimy bar is a good analogy to what many bitcoiners are going through at this very moment. In the last few months, it feels like the venue has gotten crowded and that it’s time for Bitcoin to leave to conquer the world. Story continues New voices have entered the space and have changed the way we talk about the Bitcoin network. The conversation is dominated by those speculating about the bitcoin cryptocurrency’s use as an investment vehicle for the already wealthy. Fewer and fewer people preach its role as a tool for democratizing finance. It is essential that throughout this bull run, as we celebrate the rewards that come with being at the right place at the right time, that we remember what makes Bitcoin unique and fight like hell to keep it that way. Bitcoin is a network. That’s its magic. It isn’t like a stock or a bond or even like gold. It is just a powerful system that allows people all over the world to privately interact with one another in a manner that is wholly unconcerned with whether any institution or government likes it or not. Related: Where Peer-to-Peer Finance Grabbed Hold This Year That is the revolution. Bitcoin is not large PayMent [trademarked] processors allowing its customers to purchase, but never hold, bitcoin directly or the marginal efficiencies available to those wishing to transfer millions of dollars between corporate treasuries. Those types of things, and the general influx of institutional investors looking for a hedge against the dollar are fine and maybe even necessary for hyper-Bitcoinization to occur, but it’s not what makes Bitcoin special. The ability to directly and discreetly transact with one another is what makes Bitcoin special. It is imperative on all of us lucky fools who got to see Bitcoin when it was still playing at the Cavern to remind people why that was, and is still, so important. See also: Justin Wales – Why Bitcoin Is Protected by the First Amendment The next year will be a lot of fun, but also a time when many new voices will be given a space to propose ways to take Bitcoin mainstream. In the goal of attracting institutional investors, many will cheer on regulations that undercut our ability to transact with Bitcoin without institutional or governmental approval. In other words, regulations that aim to change the fundamental characteristic that made Bitcoin special in the first place. We already see this happening with rumors of impending regulations on the ability to send funds to self-hosted wallets from money service businesses and exchanges. Such restrictions are bad for Bitcoin and privacy generally and will require a lot more than retweets to be stopped. With your newfound gains, I recommend donating money to groups like Coin Center that fund research and advocacy focused on upholding the principles of liberty and privacy that were so vital to Bitcoin’s founding. As bitcoin becomes corporatized, it is imperative that its first objective of democratizing finance through disintermediation endures. One last thing about the Beatles: I do genuinely love them. There is no better music made, as far as I am concerned. Because being a Beatles fan is so core to my identity, I have been gifted a lot of Beatles merchandise over the years. Last year, someone bought me a collection of officially licensed Beatles dress socks back before virus regulations shuttered my law office. Not 10 minutes after I put on a pair of these socks, I felt a tear and, sure enough, I tore a hole in the sock. I sat there looking down at my big toe popping out of John Lennon’s torso under the words “REVOLUTION.” I realized right then that these socks had nothing to do with The Beatles. It was just a product created to make a buck without offering me anything that made The Beatles special other than its branding. It was a product masquerading as something revolutionary. How pathetic. My bet is Bitcoin will be around for a long, long time. As large institutions and the CNBC crowd continue to recognize it as an investment opportunity, there will be an increasing number of ways for people to interact with “Bitcoin.” But at some point, we’re going to need to ask ourselves whether the things we brand as bitcoin are so centralized and overregulated that they no longer work toward achieving Bitcoin’s original goal of spurring a financial revolution. As these “bitcoins” become corporatized and regulated into the mainstream, it is imperative that Bitcoin’s first objective of democratizing finance through disintermediation endures. The alternative is Bitcoin loses the very innovative principles that allowed it to grow in the first place and becomes just another product masquerading as something revolutionary.

The strategic collaboration enables Binance users to take advantage of crypto purchases with fiat and trading through the Reef Finance platform in a non-custodial manner. In addition, Reef Finance is eyeing the potential offering of Binance Chain support to its users in the future. Binance\'s Launchpool platform was created to facilitate new digital farming for users. The project is now aiming to simplify the reward acquisition process for staking Binance Coin ( BNB ) and other assets on the Binance platform. During Launchpool participation, users will be able to stake their BNB, Binance USD (BUSD) or Polkadot\'s DOT tokens into separate pools to farm $REEF tokens, starting from Dec. 23, 2020, at 0:00 am UTC. Binance will then list REEF in the innovation zone on Dec. 29, 2020, at 6:00 am UTC and open two initial trading pairs in REEF/USDT and REEF/BTC, with REEF/BNB and REEF/BUSD to become available in January. Reef is also the first Launchpool project where Binance users will be able to stake their DOT tokens and earn staking rewards. To sum up, DOT holders can now farm REEF on Binance, whereas usually, one could farm with BNB, BUSD and Ether ( ETH ). Now with Reef, one can farm using BNB, BUSD and DOT. Story continues Reef is positioned as a hub for DeFi and other cryptocurrency financial services on Polkadot. As a founding member of the Polkadot DeFi Alliance , it will support and grow the overall success of the ecosystem as a cross-chain solution with a cohort of members and partners, such as Interlay , Equilibrium and Moonbeam . "By abstracting away the complexities of using order books and learning how different protocols work, Reef gives the retail investor access to the DeFi landscape with a very low technical barrier of entry and additionally augmenting the decision making process based on the user\'s risk levels," said Denko Mancheski, founder and CEO of Reef Finance. "We are very excited for the upcoming Polkadot ecosystem and glad to support Reef Finance\'s progress through Launchpool," said Binance CEO and Founder Changpeng Zhao. "It\'s also great to welcome our first Polkadot ecosystem project to Binance Smart Chain." For more information about Reef Finance, read the in-depth report provided by Binance Research.

Following on from a 4.11% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $26,413.0. It was another mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $24,489.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $23,449, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high and a new swing hi $26,723.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $25,396 and the second major resistance level at $26,073. While easing back, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the second major resistance level, holding onto the $26,000 handle through to the day end. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $26,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $12,680 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday.

Still, the greenback fell 2.3% in November, its largest monthly percentage loss since July. In contrast, bitcoin on Monday hit an all-time high of $19,864.15 and was last up 5.7% at $19,235.96 . "We're seeing further softening of U.S. economic data," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York. "And there hasn't been any sign that we're going to see Congress deliver a stimulus package any time soon." Data on Monday showed contracts to buy U.S. previously-owned homes fell for a second straight month in October, with the Pending Home Sales Index, based on contracts signed last month, falling 1.1% to 128.9. Other data showed activity at factories in the Midwest and Texas slowing this month, with the Chicago PMI falling to 58.2 in November from 61.1 in October, as a nationwide resurgence in new COVID-19 infections curbed new orders and disrupted production. On the last day of the month, the dollar index rose 0.2% to 91.89. It fell in five of the last seven months. "This is just a temporary boost for the dollar," said OANDA's Moya. "The longer-term trend is clearly going to be dollar weakness." Market participants remained optimistic that U.S. President-elect Joe Biden's administration would pose few impediments to global growth, including possibly additional monetary policy support from the Federal Reserve. Both should reduce the dollar's safe-haven allure. Biden on Monday unveiled his picks for several top economic positions, including former Fed Chair Janet Yellen as his nominee for Treasury secretary. "The world is on the cusp of a major inflection point - a vaccine rollout and subsequent economic normalization - that we expect to prove positive for the currencies of exporters, select emerging markets, and producers of cyclical commodities, such as oil and base metals," UBS Global Wealth Management wrote in a research note on Monday. The euro slipped 0.2% against the dollar to $1.1942, after earlier hitting a three-month high of $1.20 . The European Central Bank signalled earlier this year it was carefully monitoring the euro-dollar exchange rate. The single European currency posted its best monthly performance since July, gaining 2.6% in November. The dollar rose 0.2% against the yen to 104.33 yen. The dollar was flat to slightly higher against the Chinese yuan in the offshore market, at 6.579 . Monday's data showed China's manufacturing grew at its fastest pace in more than three years in November, while services sector growth hit a three-year high. The offshore yuan had its longest streak of monthly gains in six years, boosted by China's economic recovery from the coronavirus and steady capital inflows. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 3:08PM (2008 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Dollar index $91.8780 91.7240 +0.18% +0.00% +91.9150 +91.5040 Euro/Dollar $1.1943 $1.1965 -0.17% +6.54% +1.2004 +1.1942 Dollar/Yen 104.3300 104.0500 +0.20% -4.01% +104.3850 +103.8500 Euro/Yen 124.59 124.50 +0.07% +2.16% +125.1100 +124.3100 Dollar/Swiss 0.9068 0.9045 +0.27% -6.28% +0.9068 +0.9020 Sterling/Dollar 1.3343 1.3318 +0.20% +0.61% +1.3383 +1.3305 Dollar/Canadian 1.2968 1.2985 -0.12% -0.17% +1.2995 +1.2923 Aussie/Dollar 0.7350 0.7384 -0.45% +4.75% +0.7407 +0.7348 Euro/Swiss 1.0831 1.0818 +0.12% -0.19% +1.0858 +1.0804 Euro/Sterling 0.8948 0.8980 -0.36% +5.84% +0.9000 +0.8946 NZ 0.7018 0.7035 -0.21% +4.32% +0.7050 +0.7012 Dollar/Dollar Dollar/Norway 8.8705 8.8300 +0.55% +1.22% +8.8875 +8.7850 Euro/Norway 10.5950 10.5560 +0.37% +7.70% +10.6255 +10.5289 Dollar/Sweden 8.5555 8.4795 +0.70% -8.47% +8.5668 +8.4447 Euro/Sweden 10.2185 10.1473 +0.70% -2.39% +10.2442 +10.1248 (Reporting by Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss; Editing by Nick Zieminski and Paul Simao)... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

But with little mainstream usage as a form of payment and global uncertainty clouding financial markets, bitcoin is still far from a safe bet, analysts said. "There are a lot of differences to what was happening before," said Larry Cermak, director of research at cryptocurrency media firm The Block. "The price has steadily increased, we are seeing very little retail participation and markets are much more liquid and much more accessible to institutional participants. For now, though, it's definitely not a safe investment, it's still very risky." Bitcoin broke $18,000 (£13,549) on Wednesday to hit its highest since Dec. 2017, having soared about 160% this year. The steep trajectory of its 2020 rally echoes that of 2017, when a retail-led buying spree pushed it to nearly $20,000, only to crash more than 50% a month later. Unlike 2017, however, the asset now boasts a functioning derivatives market and custody services by established financial institutions. The value of open interest bitcoin futures at CME Group Inc crossed $1 billion this week for the first time since their launch in Dec. 2017, while positions across major options markets have grown to over $4 billion from virtually nothing in early 2019, according to crypto data provider Skew. Meanwhile large firms including Fidelity Investments and Japan's Nomura Holdings Inc have starting safeguarding bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies for institutional investors. "There's absolutely no comparison in terms of market maturity between this year and 2017," said Ryan Selkis, CEO of crypto data firm Messari. "Back then derivatives and credit markets barely existed (and) institutional custody didn't exist." The emergence of this kind of infrastructure has made it easier for professional investors from hedge funds to family offices to seek exposure to crypto. "The accessibility has changed from three years ago so the types of players that are willing to go in has broadened," said Tim Swanson, head of market intelligence at blockchain software firm Clearmatics. Their involvement, the argument goes, may lead to more liquidity and less volatility in prices. Regulation has also developed. While the cryptocurrency sector is still mostly lightly overseen or unregulated, global standards on areas such as anti-money laundering (AML) have emerged, opening the way for bigger investors. Mainstream companies and governments are among those embracing digital coin technology. Last month, PayPal Holdings Inc said it would open up its platform to cryptocurrencies while rival Square Inc said it had invested 1% of its total assets in bitcoin. Unlike 2017, bitcoin's price has been supported by an appetite for riskier assets following government and central bank stimulus measures to combat the impact of COVID-19. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million, shielding it from policies that stoke inflation, proponents say. The narrative has allowed "a wider group of investors, including those with a more fundamental mindset, to participate in price setting," said Richard Galvin of crypto fund Digital Asset Capital Management. Yet for all the improvements in market structure and mainstream recognition, bitcoin remains highly volatile. The cryptocurrency sector is still more opaque and less regulated than mainstream financial markets. Trading data remains patchy and concerns over market manipulation are rife. "Long story short, it's still a risky market and a risky asset," said Colin Platt, a cryptocurrency consultant. And for all the hype, bitcoin remains seldom used for its intended purpose. "There is no guarantee that it will be used widely as 'money' given the cost of mining and using bitcoins and the ease of using contactless payment cards or smartphones to facilitate electronic payment," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.

Today's Key News: ['* Graphic: World FX rates in 2020 https://tmsnrt.rs/2RBWI5E By Kevin Buckland TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The dollar languished near a 2-1/2-year low on Tuesday with demand for safe-havens flagging as U.S. lawmakers pushed forward with a COVID-19 relief package. The House of Representatives voted on Monday to increase stimulus payments to qualified Americans to $2,000 from $600, sending the measure on to the Senate for a vote. Last week\'s Brexit agreement, while bare bones, also supported the outlook for global growth, lifting Asian stocks on Tuesday following Wall Street gains. "Optimism abounds, and it’s generally coming from equity markets," said Bart Wakabayashi, Tokyo Branch manager of State Street Bank and Trust. "The dollar is very heavy, and that will continue into next year." The dollar index was little changed at 90.194 in holiday-thinned trading, hovering near the 89.723 level reached on Dec. 17 for the first time since April 2018. Short positions on the dollar swelled in the week ended Dec. 21 to $26.6 billion, the highest in three months, according to Reuters\' calculations based on data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Monday. The euro rose 0.1% to $1.22260 early in the Asian session, hovering near the 2-1/2-year high of 1.22735 touched earlier this month. The dollar bought 103.740 yen, another haven asset. Sterling rose 0.1% to $1.3477 following a two-day decline. It was as high as $1.3625 this month, a level not seen since May 2018. Investors have taken profits in the UK currency following the confirmation last week of a Brexit trade deal that was widely expected. While the agreement came as a relief to investors, the pact leaves Britain far more detached from the EU, analysts say. "People are still trying to figure out what this Brexit agreement means," weighing on the pound, said State Street\'s Wakabayashi. "Nothing has really been agreed on financial markets, and that’s a big negative for the UK." Bitcoin slipped 0.8% to $26,841, continuing its retreat from the all-time high of $28,377.94 set Sunday. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 11:24AM (224 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Euro/Dollar $1.2234 $1.2216 +0.15% +9.13% +1.2237 +1.2207 Dollar/Yen 103.7520 103.8250 -0.07% -4.48% +103.7920 +103.7300 Euro/Yen 126.98 126.77 +0.17% +4.12% +126.9800 +126.7100 Dollar/Swiss 0.8876 0.8886 -0.06% -8.22% +0.8887 +0.8876 Sterling/Dollar 1.3469 1.3460 +0.09% +1.58% +1.3482 +1.3443 Dollar/Canadian 1.2832 1.2849 -0.08% -1.17% +1.2848 +1.2835 Aussie/Dollar 0.7590 0.7583 +0.15% +8.22% +0.7595 +0.7577 NZ 0.7117 0.7103 +0.21% +5.78% +0.7118 +0.7099 Dollar/Dollar All spots Tokyo spots Europe spots Volatilities Tokyo Forex market info from BOJ (Reporting by Kevin Buckland; Editing by Sam Holmes)', '* Graphic: World FX rates in 2020 https://tmsnrt.rs/2RBWI5E By Kevin Buckland TOKYO, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The dollar languished near a 2-1/2-year low on Tuesday with demand for safe-havens flagging as U.S. lawmakers pushed forward with a COVID-19 relief package.

Following on from a 0.53% gain on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $19,459.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $19,570.0 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $19,418 and the second major resistance level at $19,555. The reversal saw Bitcoin slide to a mid-morning intraday low $19,070.0 before making a move. Finding support at the first major support level at $19,077, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $19,607.0. Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level at $19,418 and the second major resistance level at $19,555. A choppy end to the day, however, saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to sub-$19,400 before ending the day at $19,450 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the recovery to $19,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $10,095 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 5.85% to lead the way down once more. Cardano’s ADA (-3.08%), Binance Coin (-1.70%), Chainlink (-1.17%), and Litecoin (-1.24%) also struggled. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.95%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.14%), Ethereum (+0.46%), and Polkadot (+6.00%) bucked the trend on the day. For the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $545.05bn before rising to a Tuesday high $566.22bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $554.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 64.21% before rising to a Tuesday high 64.85%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.80%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.50% to $19,361.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $19,481.0 before falling to a low $19,317.8. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV was up by 0.97% to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Chainlink and Ripple’s XRP were down by 2.19% and by 2.16% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the pivot level at $19,379 to bring the first major resistance level at $19,687 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Tuesday’s high $19,607.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $19,700 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $19,916 and resistance at $20,000 could come into play. Failure to move back through the $19,379 pivot would bring the first major support level at $19,150 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $18,842.

The U.S. Dollar Index is testing the support at the yearly lows at 89.75. If the U.S. Dollar Index settles below this level, it will gain additional downside momentum and head towards the next support which is located near 89.40 which will be bullish for GBP/USD.

Some saw this as an opportunity to rein in these controversial financial products, rather than to let them ride. From Lara Crigger’s ETF.com report: “… (SEC)passed a controversial new rulethat, among other things, would make it significantly easier to launchleveragedandinverseexchange-traded funds, but at smaller multipliers than previously approved. Rule 18f-4 would allow ETFs and other funds that aren't explicitly allowed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 to use derivatives, without first having to obtain exemptive relief. New ETF launches may now apply up to a 200% multiplier, either long or inverse, on their underlying indexes.” New launches of these sorts won’t require SEC blessing on an individual basis to use derivatives for leveraged and inverse exposure, which should ease the approval process. However, the days of new 3X leveraged or inverse ETFs are over, with 2X being the cap going forward, a tip of the hat perhaps to lessening the potential losses these can create. Despite also gutting the requirement of presale education to investors who decide to play with this type of fire, I have no problem with allowing these alternative securities to come to market. They require investor caution, but they could also deliver stellar returns in a very short period of time. I use this as a backdrop to the ongoing bitcoin ETF saga. It’s been dragging though the seemingly lenient SEC when it comes to risky products like leveraged and inverse ETFs, but it’s been steadfastly opposed to allowing bitcoin in an ETF wrapper. All this got me thinking, what is going on with bitcoin ETFs? Certainly no one has thrown in the towel after all this effort: Key Bitcoin ETF Dates: * Winklevoss:Filed July 1, 2013; Disapproved March 10, 2017* SolidX (with VanEck later):Filed July 12, 2016; Withdrawn Jan. 23, 2019* Grayscale: Filed July 11, 2017:Withdrawn Oct. 25, 2017* ProShares: Filed Sept. 27, 2017:Disapproved Aug. 22, 2018; Stayed Aug. 23, 2018* Direxion: Filed Dec. 15, 2017:Disapproved Aug. 22, 2018; Stayed Aug. 23, 2018* GraniteShares: Filed Dec. 15, 2017:Disapproved Aug. 22, 2018; Stayed Aug. 23, 2018* Wilshire Phoenix: Filed Jan. 11, 2019:Disapproved Feb. 25, 2020* Bitwise: Filed Jan. 10, 2019:Disapproved Oct. 9, 2019; Stayed Oct. 15, 2019, Withdrawn Jan. 14, 2020 More Than 7 Years Ago The early forays into trying to launch a bitcoin ETF were certainly far ahead of the SEC’s curve of understanding—and most people’s understanding—of cryptocurrencies. But along the way, there hasn’t been any obvious progress in the SEC’s willingness to allow bitcoin ETFs. With a market cap currently approaching $200 billion, and hundreds of millions of dollars a day in futures trading, bitcoin has come a long way since that first bitcoin filing in 2013. The SEC, however, not so much. Some say the SEC has been growing more comfortable with the idea of a bitcoin ETF, and that one should come sooner rather than later. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of Bitwise, a digital asset manager that just crossed $100 million in assets under management, is in that camp. He has been on the frontlines of this effort, as his firm tries to launch a bitcoin ETF. I caught up with Hougan to talk about this challenge: ETF.com: Are there any bitcoin ETFs still alive in the SEC pipeline filing world? Matt Hougan:There are no live filings for ETFs for crypto ETFs, and specifically for a bitcoin ETF at this time. There are a number of filings that received disapproval orders from the SEC staff, which were then appealed by commissioners and are currently sort of sitting on appeal. But there's no requirement or expectation for the commissioners to review those and move those along. So the short answer to your question is, no, there are no live filings that I'm aware of at this time. The slightly nuanced answer is, a few filings, but disapproval orders have been sort of appealed and stayed. But they're not, that I know of, making forward progress right now. ETF.com: Why was there this full-frontal assault on trying to get bitcoin ETFs through the SEC, but then it just completely went away. What’s going on? Hougan:The reality is there's been sort of two waves of effort around bitcoin ETFs. There was the Winklevosses’ first shot in 2013, and then there were a number of serious follow-on efforts in the 2017/2018 era, whether that's Bitwise or VanEck or Wilshire Phoenix. And those are the ones that received the public disapproval orders. What the industry saw in those public disapproval orders is that the SEC, rightfully so, is setting a pretty high bar that bitcoin ETFs have to clear on factors like market manipulation and custody audit. So what I’m seeing is that people realize there's a lot of work to be done. Certainly that's happening behind the scenes at Bitwise, and I assume what's happening behind the scenes at our competitors, is that people are doing that work. But I think it was just clarity that there was significant work still to be done before you could even take a shot on goal. ETF.com: How long does it take for the market to prove itself rather than you trying to prove that the market's safe? Hougan:If we backpedal to like 2013 when the first ETF filings were in, we were far on one side of a wide spectrum spanning from a grassroots, anarchic, unregulated market, to its long-term future as a well-regulated piece of the global financial ecosystem. As an example, there were no regulated insured custodians in the market at that time. Full stop. Today you have firms like Fidelity that have insurance from Lloyd's of London that are offering custody for bitcoin under New York State specialized trust charters. You have the New York Stock Exchange setting up a bitcoin custodian that, again, operates under that same regulatory structure and also has insurance in place. You have the Coinbase company which is now an $8 billion company. They also have insurance in place and they're also regulated. In 2013, the market was not prepared to support an ETF that should be available to all investors. There were no well-established trading venues. There was no regulated market at all. There were still a lot of really bad actors. Things have vastly improved. People like me will argue that we're well along that path, and that the Bitcoin market, as it stands today, is actually a well-functioning market supported by regulated markets like the CME when it comes to futures. But the SEC is fully within its rights to say "prove it." Because it's not like we're coming from a place that's entirely well-established and clean and a well-arbitraged market with clear regulations in place. We're evolving to that space. ETF.com: There seems to be demand there. How do you quantify that? Hougan:Bitwise has a full sales team that calls on thousands of advisors a month. And so we hear from them directly. They would like an ETF that allows them to buy and sell bitcoin at net asset value and that fits into their workflow. And they want to do it because there's client demand, and currently those clients are doing it themselves on Coinbase. There are more Coinbase accounts than there are Charles Schwab accounts. So it would be great to bring bitcoin inside that advised setting. You can see there's demand. I hear from people who say, “We don't need a bitcoin ETF.” Their argument is that there are plenty of ways to buy bitcoin today. [On Oct. 21, 2020,] PayPal said it was going to make it possible for people to buy Bitcoin through the PayPal app. That's great, but it doesn't solve the problem for financial advisors who need a regulated product that fits into their workflow. And the only real, robust answer for that is an ETF. I think eventually we'll get there. ETF.com: What's eventually? A year? Five? Hougan:I hope it's fewer than five years. I think the best estimate is somewhere between 12 and 36 months out. I know it's a wide window, but people have been cracking on this thing since 2013, and there's still some road to go. I do think it's a matter ofwhenand notif. PayPal's a $250 billion company. It has 350 million users, 200 million in the U.S. It's got 26 million merchants who are going to be able to accept crypto. If you have a company of that size that embraces crypto and endorses it and allows it to live in a regulated setting for a huge number of clients, it gets a step further. The Time Has Come It’s hard to knock the SEC for being overly cautious in allowing bitcoin to enter the capital markets as a listed and regulated security. But that many-years grace period and bitcoin’s continued success as a financial product have made the steadfast rejection by regulators seem out of step with change. Currently, bitcoin trades around $13,500, and as the bitcoin price chart below shows, price volatility has cooled considerably. Take away March’s financial market meltdown that impacted all securities, and bitcoin pricing looks relatively rangebound. (For a larger view, click on the image above) One reason for that is a futures market in bitcoin that keeps price discovery honest in theory and apparently in practical terms as well. Trading volume has also been stable, adding another positive piece to the stability puzzle. (For a larger view, click on the image above) A report this month by Wilshire Phoenix, a firm that’s also looking for a SEC bitcoin ETF blessing, adds credence to the idea a futures market in bitcoin is legitimizing its status as a trading vehicle every day. “The findings of Wilshire Phoenix indicate that CME Bitcoin Futures contribute more to price discovery than its related spot markets,” said an Oct. 14reportfrom Wilshire Phoenix, adding: “A leading futures market suggests the existence of a robust base of traders who may trade on such markets for many reasons such as trust in the exchange venue and low... - Reddit Posts (Sample): []...

Its a small hack that lets me see how vulnerable a founder is, and how much conviction they have behind their ideas. Sometimes, if they answer, its the lede of my story. And sometimes, if they dont answer, its the reason I dont write the story. As blunt as the question sounds, it can spark the best answers -- especially when the founder is working on an idea that is a moonshot in and of itself. Speaking of wild bets, our own Kirsten Korosec caught up with Zoox co-founder and CTO Jesse Levinson about his electric robotaxi, a six-year effort that was unveiled this week , outpacing competitors. Levinson was heads-down on an idea that wasnt just likely to fail, it almost did: Zooxs Series C fell apart in March due to the pandemic: Korosec: What was your trick or how did you remain focused for six years on something that is futuristic, expensive and possibly could fail? What did you personally do to keep that focus? Levinson: Well, doing something like this is definitely challenging and it requires patience. I think the advice I would give is first to convince yourself that what youre doing makes sense and is important and worth doing. If youre starting a company because your goal is to make as much money as possible, if it turns out to be hard its going to be really difficult to convince yourself and your team and investors to stick with the idea. One of the great things about Zoox is that the idea itself just makes a lot of sense. From first principles, theres really a compelling reason to solve the problem the way weve been solving it and the market opportunity is unquestionably enormous. So armed with those facts and a team of wonderful employees and investors who strongly believed in that, we were able to weather some of the ups and downs of the industry, even though its not always been an easy ride. Story continues It didnt hurt that Amazon saved Zoox after its failed Series C, considering deep pockets and futuristic technology go well together.

Now, after helping Palantir scale up its senior talent (and pocketing some advisor shares for himself) he invests in the Palantir diaspora out of his fund. Connie Loizos, TechCrunchs Silicon Valley editor, has the story , including where XYZ is looking for startups outside of the once-secretive public companys staff. This VC introduced Palantirs first business hire to its earliest engineer, then his business took off Loizos also profiled Lux Capitals Deena Shakir, who sees space and frontier tech going mainstream right now.

The long-time global financial hub will expect hundreds of new jobs in the next few years as ByteDance and Alibaba reportedly plan regional offices in the city-state. The interest comes as Google, Facebook and Twilio already have operations in Singapore. The spotlight comes with pressure on companies to find the best tech talent in Singapore, which has a population of 5.6 million. Singapore is poised to become Asias Silicon Valley Kuo-Yi Lim, co-founder and managing partner at early-stage investment firm Monks Hill Ventures, detailed the talent dynamics: My view is that there will always be the need to bring in folks who are not from Singapore because were just not big enough, he said. The competition is more on a global basis, because even local startups will always be looking at global talent, from the region, Australia, India, China or beyond, he added. I think it actually cultivates the instinct for startups to really compete for talent in a thoughtful way. I think startups will have to become more creative and sharper in terms of how they position themselves as an attractive employer to spend time with, as opposed to the big companies.

Today's Key News: ['By John McCrank NEW YORK (Reuters) - The price of Bitcoin topped $29,000 on Thursday for the first time, with the digital currency almost quadrupling in value this year amid heightened interest from investors big and small alike. The world\'s most popular cryptocurrency touched $29,300 before pulling back, most recently down 0.67% at $28,774.36. It has surged by nearly half since breaking $20,000 for the first time on Dec. 16. Bitcoin\'s potential for quick gains, as well as expectations it could become a mainstream payment method, has attracted demand from larger U.S. investors, as well as from traders who normally stick to equities.

"Bitcoin you really just have digits on a screen and you\'re really hoping that the guy behind you sees it as being worth more than what you just paid for it, so it\'s a purely speculative view," he said. Still, intrigued by the story behind bitcoin and the traction it was getting with institutional investors, he put 1% of his net worth into a bitcoin fund around five weeks ago, which has doubled in value since then, and he sold half on Thursday.

According to a Justice Departmentcomplaint, the digital wallet holding the Bitcoins belonged to a hacker who stole them from the operator of the Silk Road, a notorious black market website that acted as a giant online bazaar for drugs and other criminal activity. The federal government took down the Silk Road and arrestedits owner—who isnow serving life in prison—in 2013. The Justice Department complaint says IRS agents reviewed the hacker’s activities earlier this year with the help of a cryptocurrency forensics firm. That firm, Chainalysis, publisheda blog postdetailing how it analyzed the Bitcoin blockchain—a tamper-proof public ledger of transactions—to track the hacker’s activities. The blog post includes the graphic below, which shows the stolen Bitcoins moving to different wallets, including one transaction in which the hacker moved 101 Bitcoins to a now-shuttered criminal exchange called BTC-e: According to a person familiar with the investigation, the hacker’s robbery of Silk Road—which took the form of 54 transactions in less than 24 hours—took place in 2012. Meanwhile, the transfer of 101 Bitcoins took place in 2015, with no further transactions after that. This raises the question of why the so-called Individual X hasn’t touched any of the funds, even asBitcoin has soared in price. There appear to be two possible explanations: The person is a wealthy individual who did not need to sell any of the Bitcoins, or else the person is in prison without access to a website needed to transfer the funds. The source familiar with the investigation said it is significant the complaint was filed in San Francisco, and that Individual X signed a consent decree. This implies the person in question is located in Northern California and is cooperating with law enforcement—as does the fact the Justice Department was able to seize the Bitcoin, which could only have occurred if the person provided the password or “private key” needed to transfer Bitcoin funds. As for why the Justice Department didn’t name the individual, the source speculated it was because the person could be at risk of violent retaliation from criminals tied to the Silk Road. “They’re not in the safest business in the world,” the source said. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment as to whether Individual X is in prison. Nor did the agency state if a criminal complaint—as opposed to the civil one unveiled today—will be forthcoming. The lack of any criminal complaint may suggest Individual X is already incarcerated and may have agreed to turn over the Bitcoin as part of a cooperation arrangement with authorities. The Justice Department seized not only 69,370.22491543 Bitcoins from Individual X, but the same amount in three spinoff currencies known as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, and Bitcoin SV. Together, those other currencies are worth around $30 million. The government hasn’t announced what it will do with the seized Bitcoins, but in the past it hassoldthemthough auctions run by the U.S. Marshals Service, with the proceeds primarily going to law enforcement agencies. • COVID-19 resurgencesets back Europe’s economic recoveryhopes • TheU.S. economyis slowly beginning to climb out of its deep hole • Stocks historically perform betterunder a divided Congress • Theft of $2.3M from GOP shows howcampaigns are juicy targets for hackers • A journalist-turned-detective on howcorporate America depends on private sleuths This story was originally featured onFortune.com... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Mari0805', 'BTC just had the monthly and yearly close! 2020 close was at $28,990', 119, '2021-01-01 01:07', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ko15jt/btc_just_had_the_monthly_and_yearly_close_2020/', "Let's see what 2021 brings us.

Don\'t let that prevent you from taking a risk in something you believe in. Extend your time horizon to a decade and lock your coins away.\n\n\\---\n\nI\'ve been a libertarian since I was a teenager. The expanding role of the State is something that I\'ve been worrying about for most of my life. While learning about the immorality of the existence of the State, at some point I learned about monetary policy and how inflation is robbing everyone on an unprecedented scale. I tucked this knowledge away and was determined to figure out a way around it when I started making my own money. (This paragraph is the only one involving political philosophy, go ahead and continue reading)\n\nI first heard of Bitcoin in 2010 on one of the many forums I frequented in my libertarian internet circle. It was an interesting concept to me, but I didn\'t pursue it at all. Again I tucked this knowledge away for future use.\n\nI heard of it again several months later (2010). This time I decided to try it out. I remember downloading and syncing the reference wallet and using a BTC faucet to send coins to my wallet. I forget exactly how many it was... 5, maybe? That\'s as far as I went with it though. At some point I deleted the wallet and the downloaded blockchain - probably to make room for a Steam game or something. Those coins are gone.\n\nThat\'s right - Steam. I have been a gamer for most of my life as well. I owned a powerful graphics card at the time: The Radeon 5970.\n\nThe third time I heard about Bitcoin was in May 2011. I had heard that the price was lifting off and people were making a lot of money from it. This time I decided to dive in and see what I could figure out.\n\nThis was where I fell into the deep rabbit hole of Bitcoin. I remember getting so absorbed in it that I didn\'t sleep some nights. I was working my day job, going home and learning all that I could about Bitcoin. Learning about how addresses were generated, how wallets worked, how mining worked, how the difficulty adjustment worked, everything that I possibly could.\n\nAfter a week or two of obsessing and reading about Bitcoin, I decided that this was the most important invention since the internet - the most perfect form of money ever created. One of the most ingenious systems ever designed by man - and NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT YET.\n\nI can\'t recall if any other coins existed at the time, but between 2011-2012 I remember other coins like Namecoin, Peercoin, Feathercoin, and some others. I don\'t hear about any of those other coins these days... besides LTC and XRP, of course.\n\nI decided that I wanted in. I needed to get some Bitcoin. I needed it NOW!! This would be like buying stock in the Internet itself but better - no counterparty risk, and I could be my own bank!\n\nI wasn\'t making a lot of money at the time, so putting money towards anything discretionary wasn\'t going to be friendly to my budget. Yes, I owned a badass gaming rig, but that was my only luxury in life. I knew I was going to buy for the long term, so I decided to put aside $500 and go for it. I was going to buy Bitcoin.\n\nAt the time, Mt Gox was the only game in town that I can remember. I don\'t think BTC-e existed yet, or maybe I just hadn\'t heard of it.\n\nI signed up for a Gox account and figured out how to fund it. There were a few ways to do this, one of which was another app called Dwolla. So I signed up for Dwolla and got verified. I then deposited my $500 and initiated the ACH transfer to Gox. BTC price at the time: $3.\n\nI had initiated the transfer on a Tuesday evening after work. I was informed that the transfer would arrive at Gox on Friday.\n\nI watched agonizingly as the price climbed hour after hour, day after day. $3.50. $4. $5. $6. I was missing the boat!!! By Thursday evening the price had doubled.\n\nAt work on Friday, I checked my email on my phone practically every five minutes. The transfer didn\'t go through the entire work day. I had plans with friends that evening - damn it, I was going to have to try and do this on my phone while hanging with my friends?!\n\nI ended up making my first BTC purchase while sitting in a movie theater. I bought 50 Bitcoin for $10 each - during an all-time-high.\n\nI still hodl every one of these coins today.\n\n(The movie, for the curious: X-Men: First Class)\n\nI couldn\'t stop there, though. The more I learned, the more I had to know. The more I had to DO. That\'s when I got into GPU mining.\n\nThis was a time before ASICs. I believe GPU mining was relatively new -- before this, miners were only using CPUs (which were in 2011 -- like GPUs in 2020 -- obsolete for SHA256 mining).\n\nThe next day I dove headfirst into Bitcoin mining. I downloaded the software and set up an account on Slush Pool. I ran my 5970 on full blast for a while and went out with some friends. When I got back, my bedroom was noticeably hotter than it was when I left. So that\'s what I was going to be dealing with? Ok, fine.\n\nI also couldn\'t play any demanding video games while the miner was running. I\'d have to dial the hashrate down, or disable it completely. Ok, I guess I can manage that.\n\nAfter a few days of dealing with that, I decided to buy another 5970. If I got bored of Bitcoin, it would still make The Witcher 2 run better!\n\nAll told, between mining with Slush Pool and BTCGuild for a month, I managed to mine an additional 50BTC that month.\n\nI still hodl every one of these coins today.\n\nOne day, my electric bill came. $350. For my 1BR apartment? That can\'t be right...\n\nI called up the electric company and told them they double-billed me.\n\n"Nope, that amount is accurate. That\'s what you owe for this month. Have a nice day!"\n\nAnd that was the day I stopped Bitcoin mining.\n\nI had been telling all my friends and gamer friends about Bitcoin the entire time. They laughed at me. I told them they wouldn\'t be laughing when I was a millionaire.\n\nSoon after, Bitcoin crashed -- HARD. Dropping from $32 at its peak to $2 over the next few months -- one of the largest price drops in its history.\n\nI was dejected. I stopped talking about it with my friends.

A Paris court has found Vinnick guilty of money laundering and has ordered him to pay 100,000 (US$121,000) in fines. Vinnick was arrested in Greece back in 2017 under an international warrant issued by the US Department of Justice and was extradited to France earlier this year. The Justice Department accused Vinnick of operating BTC-e as a front for a massive money laundering operation that accepted stolen funds from cyberattacks. Security firm Wizsec previously linked his private BTC-e accounts to funds stolen from Mt. Gox . If youll recall, around $480 million worth of Bitcoins disappeared from the exchange service back in 2014 due to, as Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles called them, "weaknesses in the system." The US DOJ charged Vinnick with 17 counts of laundering up to $4 billion since the exchange was founded in 2011. Meanwhile, French prosecutors charged him for extortion, conspiracy and harming automatic data-processing systems. French authorities believe he helped create the ransomware Locky, which was spread through email and was used to attack French businesses and organizations between 2016 and 2018. At least 20 entities in the country ended up paying ransom money in Bitcoin to get their networks freed. Vinniks side argued in court that he was only a technical operator carrying out instructions from BTC-es directors. While the court still ended up convicting him for money laundering, its hardly the worst-case scenario for Vinnick. According to ZDNet , French prosecutors were only able to prove one of the 14 charges brought against him, and it wasnt the one involving Locky. That means he was able to avoid the 10-year sentence and the 750,000 fine the prosecutors had requested.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Zamusek', 'If "1BitcoinIsMyLifeGoal" messages you asking to trade BTC, do NOT trust him', 29, '2021-01-02 00:12', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/kolf8j/if_1bitcoinismylifegoal_messages_you_asking_to/', "He scammed me of 0.003 BTC, so yeah don't give him any of your bitcoin.

For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $15,190 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Ripple’s XRP slid by 7.16% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Crypto.com Coin and Litecoin rallied by 10.53% and by 8.38% to lead the way, with Ethereum rising by 6.06%. Binance Coin (+1.18%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.55%), Cardano’s ADA (+1.31%), Chainlink (+2.85%), Polkadot (+1.43%) and saw relatively modest gains on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $678.76bn before surging to a Saturday high $866.00bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $830.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 69.13% before rising to a Saturday high 72.92%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 72.62. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.82% to $32,447.9. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $31,975.0 before rising to a high $32,501.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Chainlink (+0.28%), Ethereum (+0.50%), and Litecoin (+0.54%) joined Bitcoin in the green, with Bitcoin Cash SV flat. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 7.52% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $31,492 to bring the first major resistance level at $33,983 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $33,292.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $34,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $36,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $35,784. Failure to avoid a fall through the $31,492 pivot would bring the first major support level at $29,691 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$29,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $27,200.

I had timed it perfectly, waiting for the zookeeper to walk to the next enclosure, and for the other visitors to move on with him. Now I was alone, and the rhinos were approaching the railing where I stood. I jumped up onto it, my ass hanging over the bar, 6 feet above the ground. I pulled down my trousers and my underpants. Hot shit slipped out of my ass, dropping with a splat onto the pile of rhino dung. Steam rose from the pile into the cool night sky. More shit plopped from my gaping ass into this same spot, splat splat splat, as the rhinos looked up at me with indifference. Stupid beasts I thought, such big horns and no sense of dignity. I continued to shit, but eventually became bored, and climbed down from the railing, pulling my trousers up as I did. I took one last look at the rhinos before I moved on. Two of them were staring mindlessly at the dung, while another was slowly trundling away. I walked away, and reached the chimpanzee enclosure.\n\n\nAgain I was alone. I peered into the glass, but could see no monkeys. I pressed my face against the glass, cupping my hands around my eyes, and squinted hard. Finally I saw one. I gestured to him “come here monkey, over here to the glass” with my hand, and reached into my coat pocket. When he arrived at the glass, I produced a cigarette, which I offered to him. He nodded, and I slipped the cigarette through a hole in the glass, which he carefully took into his mouth. I got out a cigarette for myself, and lit it with my lighter, taking a long drag before exhaling, blowing the smoke onto the glass. The monkey produced a set of matches from his fur, striking one against the glass and inhaling deeply while it ignited his cigarette, before blowing a cloud against the glass, just as I had. He shook the match to extinguish the flame, before taking the cigarette from his mouth, thumbing it thoughtfully as he leaned back, observing me as I enjoyed my own. A small chimp waddled over and looked up at the monkey; his son. He gave him a gentle pat on the head as he returned the cigarette to his lips, looking up at the evening sky, taking a deep drag as he watched the first stars of the night come into view from behind the clouds. With great ease he blew the smoke again from his mouth, and I watched it rise slowly, swirling and dancing in the gentle breeze, before dissipating completely. I too took a deep drag from my cigarette.\n\nThe small chimp was looking at me with wide black eyes. I looked up and blew black rings into the sky, then watched as the chimp stared up at the rings, the twinkling stars above reflecting in the deep dark pools of his eyes. His father joined me, and together we blew smoke rings into the sky, creating a spectacle, with small rings floating gently through larger rings, our rings joining and intertwining, passing through one another before emerging in new shapes, and disappearing again. We inhaled and exhaled deeply with skill and care, both of us responding to each other's moves and tricks, not in competition but in unison, as we let the crisp air flow through our lungs. Finally, we each blew a single ring which joined with the other, creating the symbol of infinity, which rose out of view without dissolving as the others had. The little chimp had fallen asleep. The monkey took his cigarette between two fingers, noticing it was almost completely spent, and took a final drag before tapping the ash into a small pile of stones, picking up his child, and extinguishing the stub with his foot. I did likewise, and we parted ways.\n\nThe zoo was closing, the last visitors walking slowly out as a contented murmur hung in the air. I walked through the turnstiles, and towards the orange glow of the filament bulb lamps which lined the street outside. A small crowd joined me at the bus stop, where I waited for 4 minutes before climbing on, dropping my change into the machine and taking my usual window seat in the middle row, downstairs. I sat and watched as we passed the usual traffic. The voice announced my stop, and I departed, taking a moment to look up at my apartment on the 14th floor, where the lights were on. I noticed a silhouette at the window, but it soon moved past. In the elevator up, muzak was playing.\n\nInside the apartment there was a smell of stir fry chicken with soy sauce, and I felt my mouth watering. That smells good, I said. My girlfriend Lindsey was inside the kitchen, but she didn't hear me. I repeated myself as I walked into the kitchen to join her. That smells good. I walked behind her chair and placed both hands on her shoulders, and she leaned her head back, smiling up at me. I bent down to kiss her and pushed my tongue into her mouth, savouring the kiss for fifteen seconds. She leaned back and continued her meal. I hope you like it, she said. It's your favourite after all. Yes, it does smell good, I said. I sat down opposite her and leaned forward for another kiss, and as our lips met I pushed my tongue into her mouth. I sat back and began to eat, the rich flavour of the soy sauce and the tender chicken teasing and tingling my taste buds. When I was finished I walked to the freezer, picking up a carton of lemon sorbet, which I took out on to the balcony, thanking Lindsey for the meal. I sat in the straw chair and she joined me, with a single spoon, and sat on my lap. We stared out at the skyline of the city, talking together and sharing the sorbet. It was ice cold and tangy, a refreshing dessert after the richness of the dinner. The conversation was similarly sharp.\n\nWe discussed literature, classical music, French cinema, and politics. Finally, at 11pm, we retired to the bedroom. Just before turning off the lights, she told me about her day. She works at a hospital, and today, two strange things had happened. A woman came into the emergency room with contusions on her neck, and two broken ankles. She had attempted to hang herself from a tree, but was too heavy, and the branch on which she had tied the rope had snapped. She had landed on her ankles and they both buckled under her considerable weight. Lindsey told me this woman's name. The second strange thing that had happened, involved herself. On the way to work, at the tram stop, she had given a homeless man some change. Later that day he arrived at the hospital, having stepped in front of the tram. She found no change in his pockets, but a small bag of crack. The homeless man was former president Bill Clinton.\nLindsey began to cry. I kissed her, pushing my tongue into her mouth, and fell asleep.\n\nIf I was to marry my former English teacher, we would be very happy in love. We would walk around holding hands and sometimes I would write stories for her, which she could grade and give me feedback on. Happy 2021 fellas keep stretching and twisting and don't forget to let rip a fat fart next time you're on public transport with sexy stupid teens... Give them a taste of reality (shit).\n\nI remember 2016 2017 MDE & MDB schizoposting. Now those were real men. I was so brainwashed and weak and stupid and cowardly and pathetic and spiteful but my schizoposts were really at their best ever level. Thankfully now I'm just balding and aimless, don't worry though I'm doing a good postgraduate degree and soon I'll be unemployed with meagre savings. My old idea that I might still do with my savings from wageslaving cleaning construction worker shit off of toilet seats is to go to an Eastern European country, or maybe just Amsterdam, pay for a hooker and film her. I could write a script for her to read naked I bet, and I could have her read me some chapters from my favourite books. I wonder what the hourly rate is, and how long it would take to read the Shadow of The Torturer? She could read the Jolenta / other girl parts and after every paragraph she could rub my shoulders and tell me she loves me. That's what I call money well spent.\n\nPlease share good altcoin recommendations, I've spent too long waiting for a BTC dip and I'm now on the verge of just FOMO'ing in with some chump change.\n\nPlease share your struggles over the past year in the comments and I will listen and respond just like old times when we were brothers, brothers with dreams.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bombstrap/comments/kp8c0y/the_only_woman_ive_ever_loved_was_my_former/', 'kp8c0y', [['u/Falv', 29, '2021-01-03 00:47', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bombstrap/comments/kp8c0y/the_only_woman_ive_ever_loved_was_my_former/ghvl34e/', 'I read this. \n\n\nBig vibes on the old MDE days.

Following on from a 9.65% rally on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 25.6% to $32,968.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $31,975.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $29,691, Bitcoin surged to a mid-morning intraday high and a new swing hi $34,873.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $33,983 to test resistance at $35,000 before hitting reverse. The reversal saw Bitcoin fall back to $32,200 levels before finding support. Avoiding negative territory, Bitcoin revisited $33,800 levels before falling back to sub-$33,000 levels. The first major resistance level at $33,983 had pinned Bitcoin back late in the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $34,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $15,794 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Sunday. Crypto.com Coin fell by 8.76% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Ethereum surged by 26.5% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+16.3%), Chainlink (+12.18%), and Litecoin (+17.8%) also impressed on the day. Binance Coin (+7.96%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+5.42%), Polkadot (+7.18%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.85%) trailed the front runners on the day. For the week, it was a mixed bag for the crypto majors, however. Ethereum and Polkadot surged by 43.3% and by 56.8% respectively to lead the way. Binance Coin (+23.0%), Cardano’s ADA (+33.7%), Chainlink (+12.9%), and Litecoin (+26.5%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash SV (+5.8%) and Crypto.com Coin (+3.5%) trailed the front runners with modest gains. Ripple’s XRP fell by 20.6%, however, to buck the trend in the week. In the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $678.76bn before rising to a Sunday high $924.85bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $867.05bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 69.13% before rising to a Sunday high 73.63%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 70.14%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.90% to $32,671.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $33,054.4 before falling to a low $32.352.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.37%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.73%), Chainlink (+2.44%), and Polkadot (+0.31%) found early support to buck the trend early on. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 2.62% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $33,272 to bring the first major resistance level at $34,569 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $34,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Sunday’s high $34,873.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,170. Failure to move through the $36,272 pivot would bring the first major support level at $31,671 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$31,000 levels.

On Monday, crypto industry blogger Colin Wu tweeted that miners in China have been struggling to pay for electricity after the authorities started cracking down on over-the-counter (OTC) brokers in the country. The tweet notes that 74% of the miners surveyed told Wu that the payment of electricity bills has been greatly affected. China recently started blocking bank accounts and cards involved in purchases of cryptocurrency, and has investigated the two largest brokers, Zhao Dong and Xu Mingxing, Wu wrote in a blog post . Related: Custodian Anchorage Seeks Charter From Crypto-Friendly US Bank Regulator OCC Its currently a challenge for Chinese miners to convert bitcoin or tether into yuan because many people have had their bank accounts frozen when exchanging crypto for [renminbi] on OTC platforms, said Thomas Heller, formerly global business director at the mining pool F2Pool and now chief operation officer of mining and media firm HASHR8. As CoinDesk reported , in June, Chinese authorities ramped up efforts to block bank accounts that could be connected to illicit activities such as money laundering via cryptocurrency deals. It has always happened, but this year more than others, Heller told CoinDesk. I would say it has become more common in the last couple months. However, he played down the scale of any exodus of miners from China, even though HASHR8 is currently helping some operators to move their operations most to Russia but some to Kazakhstan. Related: SEC Chairman Jay Clayton Stepping Down at End of Year Most Chinese miners are mostly only familiar with the Chinese market, so its hard for them to move abroad and start mining, Heller explained. Its [the China OTC clampdown] another factor that may make overseas mining more attractive, however this alone is not enough to push them overseas. Rather, they would try to find some workarounds. Story continues Also read: Chinese Agency Scraps Plan to Eliminate Bitcoin Mining Industry In the meantime, some operators are unplugging their miners, Wu wrote in a blog post . There are also miners who said that their mining machines have been shut down for a month because they cannot sell the cryptocurrency to pay the electricity bill. Some OTC companies that specialize on serving mining firms have also terminated their business, Wu wrote. Most of the largest mining pools are based in China. An interactive map from Cambridge Universitys Centre for Alternative Finance shows that the nations miners currently account for almost 72% of the average monthly bitcoin hashrate, that is the computing power dedicated to supporting the network.

Today's Key News: ['By Caroline Valetkevitch NEW YORK (Reuters) -Global equity indexes mostly rose on Tuesday, with Wall Street rebounding from a weak start to the year, and oil prices settled up 5% after news that Saudi Arabia will make voluntary cuts to its oil output in February. Investors anxiously awaited the results of two Senate runoff races in the state of Georgia on Tuesday that are expected to determine the balance of power in Washington. A Democratic victory in both contests could tip control of the U.S. Senate away from Republicans, potentially boosting the agenda of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden. "Investors are taking a wait-and-see attitude ... There\'s a lot to be concerned about - not only in the U.S. with the elections but also because of the different strains of the virus that are now being reported around the globe," CFRA chief investment strategist Sam Stovall said. Georgia results are expected to be known by Wednesday morning, according to state officials. No Democrat has won a Senate race in Georgia in two decades, but opinion surveys show both races as exceedingly close. The start of vaccine rollouts boosted equities heading into the end of the year, and U.S. stocks ended 2020 at record highs. The discovery of a more contagious variant of the coronavirus and the latest virus-related restrictions have offset some of that optimism. Britain has begun its third national lockdown, and New York on Monday reported its first case of the coronavirus variant. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 167.71 points, or 0.55%, to close at 30,391.6, the S&P 500 gained 26.21 points, or 0.71%, to 3,726.86 and the Nasdaq Composite added 120.51 points, or 0.95%, to 12,818.96. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.19% and MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.62%. U.S. crude futures climbed 4.9% to settle at $49.93 a barrel. Brent crude futures also jumped 4.9%, settling at $53.60. Saudi Arabia pledged additional, voluntary oil output cuts of 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in February and March as part of a deal under which most producers from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies will hold production steady in the face of new coronavirus lockdowns. Story continues In the currency markets, the dollar fell against a basket of major currencies in the wake of China\'s decision to lift its official yuan exchange rate by its highest margin since it abandoned a dollar peg in 2005. The Chinese move helped support demand for other currencies. In the offshore market, the yuan strengthened as far as 6.4419 for the first time since June 2018. It started the week at 6.4944. The British pound recovered from a tumble on Monday, when a surge in COVID-19 cases in the United Kingdom forced the nationwide lockdown until mid-February. The dollar index fell 0.418%, with the euro up 0.35% to $1.2291. Sterling was last trading at $1.362, up 0.38% on the day. Bitcoin traded at $34,077.96, up 6.41%, following a roller-coaster ride that took it to a record high of $34,800 on Sunday and a subsequent tumble to as low as $27,734 the following session. Spot gold added 0.4% to $1,949.46 an ounce. In the bond market, benchmark U.S. 10-year notes last fell 12/32 in price to yield 0.9549%, from 0.917% late on Monday.

The greenback held gains from overnight in early Asian trading on Tuesday after U.S. stocks retreated from record highs at the start of the new year. The British pound was under pressure as Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered a nationwide lockdown to try and slow a fast-spreading coronavirus variant. Sterling was little changed at $1.3572 early in the Asian session. It slid 0.73% on Monday, the most since Dec. 10, after earlier rising to $1.3703, a level not seen since May 2018. The dollar index was flat at 89.865 after rebounding Monday from a 2-1/2-year low of 89.415. "The dollar will continue to trade with the general risk sentiment," said Shinichiro Kadota, senior currency strategist at Barclays Capital in Tokyo. The dollar has seen some buying amid an increase in COVID cases and ahead of key U.S. Senate elections, he said, but ultimately "generally positive risk sentiment should continue this year, and with that dollar continues to weaken against riskier currencies." The fate of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden\'s agenda, including rewriting the tax code, boosting stimulus and infrastructure spending, hinges firmly on Tuesday\'s twin Senate races in the battleground state of Georgia that will determine control of the chamber. The safe-haven Japanese yen was little changed at 103.135 per dollar. It advanced to 102.715 on Monday, the strongest level since March, as Japan\'s prime minister said the government is considering a state of emergency for Tokyo amid a surge in coronavirus cases. The euro was steady at $1.22535 after reaching $1.231 on Monday for the first time since April 2018. Bitcoin traded at $32,860 following a roller-coaster ride to start the new year that took it to a record high of $34,800 on Sunday, followed by a tumble to as low as $27,734 the following session. ======================================================== Currency bid prices at 9:45AM (045 GMT) Description RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid Previous Change Session Euro/Dollar $1.2254 $1.2252 +0.03% +0.30% +1.2255 +1.2247 Dollar/Yen 103.1250 103.1750 -0.04% -0.15% +103.1750 +103.1350 Euro/Yen 126.37 126.33 +0.03% -0.43% +126.4000 +126.3200 Dollar/Swiss 0.8813 0.8812 +0.03% -0.36% +0.8816 +0.8815 Sterling/Dollar 1.3572 1.3562 +0.10% -0.64% +1.3577 +1.3562 Dollar/Canadian 1.2778 1.2775 +0.03% +0.35% +1.2788 +1.2778 Aussie/Dollar 0.7669 0.7665 +0.08% -0.28% +0.7672 +0.7661 NZ 0.7175 0.7175 +0.06% -0.03% +0.7178 +0.7170 Dollar/Dollar All spots Tokyo spots Europe spots Volatilities Tokyo Forex market info from BOJ (Reporting by Kevin Buckland; Editing by Sam Holmes)', '* Dollar index Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [15565.88, 14833.75, 15479.57, 15332.32, 15290.90, 15701.34, 16276.34, 16317.81, 16068.14, 15955.59, 16716.11, 17645.41, 17804.01, 17817.09, 18621.31, 18642.23, 18370.00, 18364.12, 19107.46, 18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

She was no stranger to programming languages. Studying information systems at Carnegie Mellon, she spent the first few years after graduation as full-stack developer for Silicon Valley startups. She was proficient in a half-dozen coding languages and had worked for five tech companies in her nascent career. She was working for Coinbase at the time. This article is part of CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2020 – a list of impactful people in crypto chosen by readers and staff. The NFT of the art, by Osinachi , is available for auction at The Nifty Gateway , with 50% of the sale going to charity. Related: Hayden Adams: King of the DeFi Degens But she had never read code like this. “At first I was in disbelief,” she told CoinDesk. “It’s an insanely intimidating project.” On Peter McCormack’s “What Bitcoin Did” podcast, she likened her baptism into Bitcoin Core – Bitcoin’s primary software version – as more of an introduction to Babel than a revelation. “Is this Arabaic? What do I do here? I was endlessly opening files going, ‘cool, cool, cool,’” she said, describing her first experience with Bitcoin Core. Related: Balaji Srinivasan: The Man Who Called COVID She doesn’t remember what led her to dip her toes into Bitcoin Core – or, as the backpacking Uttarwar would likely analogize, take the first step from the trailhead. But she does recall thinking whatever trail Bitcoin took her down would be a short trek, not a multi-year exploration. “At the time it just seemed another small thing I was learning about. I had no idea that it would blow up into my career and my passion,” she said. Four grants, hundreds of Github commits and a Forbes “30 Under 30” profile later, she was surely wrong about that. The first known woman to contribute to Bitcoin Core, she’s also the first woman to receive funding to work on Bitcoin Core full time. And she’s spending this opportunity to do more than improve Bitcoin’s code – she’s also mentoring the young, promising minds of Bitcoin’s next generation of developers. Story continues Her meteoric success as one of Bitcoin Core’s first fully funded developers – and as one of its brightest new minds for development and mentorship – earned her a spot in CoinDesk’s Most Influential list for 2020. Finding bitcoin Amiti Uttarwar, 28, was born to Indian-American immigrants into the burgeoning, buzzing techno-metropolis of 1990s Silicon Valley, California. After elementary school and high school she attended The Harker School, a renowned college prep school founded in San Jose in 1893. For college, she would study information systems at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, spending her summers interning for a handful of tech startups. Returning home from Pennsylvania after receiving her degree, Uttarwar’s graduation threw her into Silicon Valley’s electric, break-it-until-you-make-it startup scene. She began her career as a full-stack developer, a term for a general-purpose position, which meant she “did what needed to be done” (and is a catch-all title Uttarwar “doesn’t really like”). Cutting her teeth at Wanelo, a commerce app marketed toward Generation Z patrons, she would move on to Simbi, an invite-only marketplace for freelancers where payment is made in time and skills, not money. A bit bohemian and a bit experimental with its approach to invoicing, Simbi was more in tune with Uttarwar’s own values than Wanelo, but she still wasn’t fully absorbed in her work. This was during 2017, a time when Bitcoin was tearing through all time highs and “suddenly everyone in San Francisco was working in ‘the blockchain scene,’” she said in a Forbes interview this summer. Eventually her own interest was piqued. Her first point of contact was a TED talk on blockchain and then (naturally) the Bitcoin white paper, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto. Having entered Bitcoin’s orbit, it wasn’t long before she was sucked in. I realized I couldn’t go back to a normal job. “I was never the type of person to do professional work outside of my job. I was the type of person who was like, ‘I have my job, and I’m happy that it ends.’ “In my free time I spend time in the mountains or play guitar [which are] more balancing activities. Falling down this rabbit whole was the first time I found myself devoting my free time to something so close to my work.” She began watching as many technical videos on Bitcoin as she could. Commuting home from work, she would sit on the BART – San Francisco’s transit system – with her eyes glued to her smartphone, another TED talk or explainer video dancing in technicolor on the screen. Her days became programmatic, precise. Not unlike Bitcoin itself, her every move was dictated by mathematical exactness. Every ticking second was planned, optimized and executed intentionally. Rise, eat, work, learn, sleep, repeat. “I got ultra cerebral about optimizing my life,” she told CoinDesk with a laugh. What was driving Uttarwar further down the rabbit hole was unlike any motivation she had encountered so far in her young career as a developer. “I was shocked at how much energy I had. I could spend an entire day at work and still want to look at Bitcoin code,” she expressed, saying how her social calendar soon became filled up with meetups at Stanford and Berkeley Bitcoin and blockchain clubs. This was at the same time as the 2016-2017 initial coin offering (ICO) boom and Uttarwar was “reading a lot of white papers, some of which were bullst,” she commented wryly. It was in these academic environments that she was exposed to the “more legitimate projects” and to the “fundamentals” underpinning Bitcoin. From here, her curiosity was aroused even more and her focus became “How can I get closer?” From Coinbase to Core The answer came from a lesson in perseverance. Uttarwar applied for a job at Coinbase, one of the hottest startups in a blooming crypto industry, shortly after she was not accepted into a 2018 residency at Chaincode Labs, a summer program in New York where promising Bitcoin developers research and develop with guidance from Chaincode’s engineers. While there, she was involved in a number of projects, including, in her words, the “definitely stressful … high-stakes” job of helping with a mammoth $1 billion transfer of Coinbase funds from an old “cold wallet” (an offline storage technique) to a new one. All the while, she continued to research and learn until eventually her passion would outgrow her paycheck. On a pivotal night for her career, she met Bitcoin Core developer and educator John Newbery at a developers dinner. She had laughed off the notion that she could work on Bitcoin Core full time, but Newbery wasn’t joking. “John Newberry created an opportunity, broke it down for me into related achievable steps. Once on-boarded, I was able meet new people, reach out, discuss ideas. Having that initial boost of confidence and some guidance for where to channel my initial efforts was enough to get me started and going.” Once she started, she “seized the opportunity obsessively,” she said. She received permission from her supervisor to take a sabbatical for a spot in Chaincode Lab’s coveted Bitcoin residency. No need for a third time. After being rejected the first go around, Uttarwar made the cut for Chaincode’s 2019 residency. At last, Amiti Uttarwar was finally getting closer. And after a summer laboring in the cryptic bowels of Bitcoin’s code, she returned to Coinbase when the residency was finished and knew her calling was working on Bitcoin in an open-source environment. “I realized I couldn’t go back to a normal job. I realized that this is what I want to spend all my time doing right now,” she said. She quit Coinbase in September of 2019 and threw herself into Bitcoin Core once again. It wasn’t long before she found a benefactor in Xapo, a crypto wallet and banking services company. Today, she’s still a free agent, and she’s still attracting funding. OKCoin and BitMEX jointly granted her $150,000 this year to continue her work on transaction relay privacy and automated testing procedures for code development. Going pro Uttarwar is one of the fortunate few of Bitcoin Core’s top echelon of coders who have received grants for their work. For the majority of Bitcoin’s short history, developers have worked on its open-source software on a volunteer basis. It hasn’t been until recent years that core developers have been paid to maintain and improve Bitcoin’s code. 2020 has been a watershed year for open-source Bitcoin development grants. The Human Rights Foundation has funded Chris Belcher, Gloria Zhao and others, and has secured more funding for 2021 from donors like Gemini. Other exchanges such as BitMEX and OKCoin have consistently funded developers since 2018. Square Crypto, the research and development arm of Jack Dorsey’s Square, has funded more than half a dozen developers. Other Bitcoin companies, including Blockstream and Chaincode Labs, have been funding Bitcoin development since the early days. Developers with access to funding, however, are definitely in the minority. Plenty of others work on Bitcoin Core or other Bitcoin software without hope of remuneration. Even the lucky ones who are funded are making less than they might if they worked for a tech company. Uttarwar, who is taking a “big pay cut” by working on Bitcoin, said there’s “no strong financial incentive” to undertake the laborious and inglorious work of Core development. The drive to do it, then, is the same thing that kept Uttarwar up at night researching when she still had her 9-to-5 job: raw passion. Perhaps this is why, as she says, “The hardest hurdle to overcome is the emotional one.” “Core development requires a solid understanding of the self and sustaining your intention which requires a lot of emotional regulation,” she continued. For those working on core full time, it’s “easy to get overwhelmed” and burned out.

My first few months (years?) in crypto SUCKED. Luckily, I stuck with things and am doing pretty well. Here are some things I wish I knew back then in case there are some new people here looking to get into it:\n\n1. Be clear about why you are buying crypto. Decide if you want to HODL or trade (you can do both) and stick to that strat. If you are buying because you believe in the tech, then you should not be selling...at all. The price will go up again, eventually. This requires discipline. I held through the COVID-19 dump in early 2020...just. The reality is crypto is a long game...think of it like you would if buying a house.\n2. If you decide to "trade" be aware that this is a market and the main players in the market (experienced traders with LOTS of money) are there to take your money. You are at a poker table with pro players. The odds are against you.\n3. When buying or selling any crypto, do the opposite of what your gut tells you. TA aside (and there is a lot to be said for understanding fundamentals of technical analysis), big green candles should be a sell signal (not a buy signal). Big red candles are probably a buy signal (not a sell signal). If the price is mooning and you think you should buy, don’t. You missed the opportunity. You just need to be patient. If you do FOMO in and the price drops soon after you buy, then you should definitely not sell. The price usually recovers anyway - it can be days, months or even years (ETH is yet to get back to its ATH).\n4. If you want to \'day trade\' with margin/leverage, set aside an amount you are prepared to lose and just trade off that in a seperate account. Never leverage off your entire holdings. It will cloud your decision making. It\'s possible to get pretty good returns on a 10x leverage with $500. I turned $500 into $5000 pretty easily (after losing about $1500 in the learning process). But BY FAR my biggest returns are from just HOLDING.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kqkgsb/4_things_i_wish_someone_told_me_about_trading/', 'kqkgsb', [['u/rndmsecretaccount', 155, '2021-01-05 00:13', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kqkgsb/4_things_i_wish_someone_told_me_about_trading/gi4bu1y/', 'Most people\xa0overestimate what\xa0they can do\xa0in one\xa0year\xa0and underestimate what\xa0they can do in ten years.', 'kqkgsb'], ['u/BabyFight', 14, '2021-01-05 00:43', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kqkgsb/4_things_i_wish_someone_told_me_about_trading/gi4fgyk/', 'Well said Mr. Hands of Steel.

Adding to broader uncertainty in markets was the latest twist in a regulatory saga over whether the New York Stock Exchange would delist three Chinese telecom giants on security grounds.

The “Mill Girls” of Lowell, Mass., made up 75% of all textile workers in the U.S. In the 1830s, they took jobs to put their brothers through college and feed their families. These young women, starting to work at age 15, were the fabric of their community’s economic production. It was the close-knit nature of their sisterhood that became what we now know as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, the AFL-CIO. Labor has traditionally organized people in a common cause like union representation. Most of us have had to sell our labor for capital that someone else owns, giving us an incentive to work for common workplace standards. But that traditional labor-for-capital model has been joined by another driver of economic activity. Now our data is the labor that drives capital creation and distribution. And it’s time for us to take back what our communities are owed. James Felton Keith is the author of “Inclusionism,” founding president of the Data Union, and advisory board member at the Streamr Network. Related: Why Bitcoin Thrives (and Why It Won't Replace the Dollar) The Lowell organizing efforts were notable not only for the “unfeminine” participation of women, but also for the political framework used to appeal to the public. They warned that “the oppressing hand of avarice would enslave us.” They used this sentiment in an 1836 strike song. Oh! isn’t it a pity, such a pretty girl as I Should be sent to the factory to pine away and die? Oh! I cannot be a slave, I will not be a slave, Related: Crypto Execs Need Liability Insurance For I’m so fond of liberty, That I cannot be a slave . In the modern era newspapers, NGOs and government officials from every continent are asking, “Are we slaves to big data?” Unlike the community of mill women, we’re not organizing for wages, not alone, we’re organizing for income based on the value of our community-of-participants. The thread of our data is the seminal input to every company’s productivity. Story continues In the EU Last week, I received a leaked copy of the forthcoming European Data Governance Act (DGA). We anticipate some form of this legislation to pass the European Parliament in the March 2021 time frame. The legislation mentions “data unions” explicitly in sections 26 and 27. (26) An emerging variant are data cooperatives or data unions that seek to achieve a number of objectives… (27) …data cooperatives as intermediaries between data subjects and potential data users in the economy Data unions (or cooperatives or collectives or communities) are a relatively new-old concept for a new natural resource: personal data. Unlike its wage-based rival of time, data is what economists call a non-rival good, meaning multiple users can consume it at once. Per the language of Europe’s recently enacted privacy regulation (GDPR) both data controllers (big tech platforms) and data processors (lil’ app companies) can generate value on data about you and your community alongside other firms, in the words of rapper Future, At The Same Damn Time . Now our data is the labor that drives capital creation and distribution. And it’s time for us to take back what our communities are owed. There is a market failure here. All good markets produce adequate arbitrageurs (arbs), and in the current market the argument about 1) what data is, 2) the price of data and 3) who is owed it, is one-sided. One who engages in arbitrage, an individual or an institution, has a formal opinion on the value (i.e. price) of a good. In this case a good is your data. One example of a current data union is the software application Swash . The app provides transparency on the monetization of your browser data and in-turn provides the opportunity to offer a different opinion in price. This is where a data union gets interesting. If entity A (your browser) suggests that your data is worth an amount for their identifiable buyers and entity B (an app like Swash) suggests that your data is worth another amount, a third party can technically participate in the buyers market for your data to arb an actual price. See also: Ben Powers – The Web Wasn’t Built for Privacy, but It Could Be Another example of a current data union is the Data Dividend Project ’s attempt to litigate on behalf of what we call data subjects (people) to seek redress for mispricing or misuse of a particular community’s personal data through its technological or non-technological platform. The success of a data union seeking legal remedies would ideally trigger the implementation of a technological data union, like the app mentioned. Data unions can bring balance to a business case as exploitative as the music industry’s treatment of talent that puts their community’s culture on display. On the heels of the European Union passing the DGA, I am anticipating a wave of data cooperatives to pop up in an ad hoc way, based on the demand of visionary labor activists across all continents that host transnational companies. I’m aware of at least 50 data unions organizing in the shadows of the western world right now. Three ways There are three ways we can make data unions happen. Data Union as a Policy is a method of insisting that cooperatives of data subjects (individuals) exist, by elected officials and governmental bodies. Data Union as a Lawsuit is a method of data subjects suing data users (institutions) for redress in scenarios where there are claims by individuals for indemnification. Data Union as Tech is a method of embedding technologies that create a distribution mechanism for rightful compensation based on transactions between data subjects and users. In the 2020s, these three types of data union methods will fortify a new way of indemnifying people for their participation in the world. I think it’ll transform how people view economics, ethics and human rights. With the EU’s DGA passing, I expect to see dozens of organized labor groups adopt some form of data union approach. This generation will know that its #DataIsLabor.

I use to think it was so hard but once I learned how to it was the easiest thing ever. I would love to teach others how to actually purchase BTC and deposit it to bet.\n\nThe first way is to use Coinbase.\n\nStep 1) The first step is to buy BTC on Coinbase either with ur card or bank account. Only issues is u have to wait sometimes a few days to receive the BTC if you pay with your bank. (Instant if you use debit card) \n\n\nStep 2) The next step isn’t needed but I like to the deposit the BTC from my Coinbase account into Coinbase pro on a web browser. Just log into the same Coinbase account and hit deposit and click from Coinbase account. (apparently less fees when sending to your wallet from Coinbase pro than Coinbase.) \n\n\nStep 3) This is the most important step which is to use a BTC wallet which will act as a “middle man” between the exchange your purchased your BTC on and the sportsbook. I have been using Blockhain wallet on the iOS store. Very simple, easy, and safe. Here you will withdraw your BTC from Coinbase pro account or Coinbase and you will send it to the address your Blockchain wallet provides. \n\n\nStep 4) Once received in your Blockchain wallet, all you do is then send the BTC from your wallet to the address that is on your sportsbook when you hit “deposit with Bitcoin.”\n\n\nThis is the simplest way I have found to deposit and bet on offshore websites. It’s so much easier using BTC than a debit or credit card that could get comprised. \n\n\nYou can also use Cashapp which you should get your BTC instantly. \n\n\nStep 1) Buy BTC on cash app.\n\n\nStep 2) Send the BTC from cashapp to your BTC wallet. Again I like using Blockchain if you have an iPhone. Works great.\n\n\nStep 3) Then from the blockchain wallet you send to \nyour sportsbook BTC deposit address. Simple as that!\n\n\nI hope this helps some of you out who want to learn how to use BTC instead of your debit or credit cards. Once I learned how simple and easy this was, I will never use any other way.\n\nEDIT: Cashapp seems to be the best for instant purchases. On Coinbase you have to wait a few days when purchased with bank account. Debit card is instant, however most banks don’t allow this to work.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsbook/comments/kradfb/how_to_buy_and_use_bitcoin_on_offshore_books/', 'kradfb', [['u/notreal1121', 14, '2021-01-06 01:03', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsbook/comments/kradfb/how_to_buy_and_use_bitcoin_on_offshore_books/gi8tbzu/', 'Cashapp is perfect', 'kradfb']]], ['u/SirTuffers', 'I know wen moon', 34, '2021-01-06 00:44', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/IOTAmarkets/comments/krb1r6/i_know_wen_moon/', "Moon comes from retail investor frenzy.

Market moves Related: Bitcoin May Have Hit Wall of Profit Takers Around $19,500: Analyst For so many reasons, 2020 will go down in history books. For many of those same reasons, it could go down in economics textbooks. This year saw the biggest drop-off in economic activity since the Great Depression, the biggest money-printing episode in the Federal Reserve’s 107-year history, an epochal shift toward remote working, negative prices for crude-oil futures and the first real signs the global financial system might be migrating toward fast-growing markets for cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Bitcoin was invented just 11 years ago as the first and original cryptocurrency, intended for use in an electronic peer-to-peer payment system that wouldn’t be controlled by any person, business or government. At the start of the year, bitcoin was still considered a fringe investment, disparaged by the likes of the billionaire investor Warren Buffett as having “no value.” By the end of the year, bitcoin had pushed to the center of conversations among big investors and Wall Street firms – cast by proponents as a hedge against the potential currency debasement that might come from trillions of dollars of coronavirus-related stimulus money emanating from central banks and governments around the world. Others saw growing mainstream acceptance of the cryptocurrency and its underlying blockchain network as validation of a landmark technology that might forever change finance. Story continues Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Pushes Past $19.2K; Ether at 3% of BTC Price Whatever the case, the bitcoin market in 2020 offered as good a prism as any through which to view the year’s monumental economic developments – and the responses to the crisis from national authorities and monetary policymakers. Over the course of the next several days, First Mover will provide a recap of how the bitcoin market evolved over the course of the year, with prices for the cryptocurrency nearly tripling, attracting bullish commentary from big traditional-finance players including JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock , AllianceBernstein, Morgan Stanley and Tudor Investment. That story might really represent another way of recounting the broader narrative in which low interest rates and the dollar’s reign as the global reserve currency allowed the U.S. government and its corporations to amass a heavy debt load in the years before the coronavirus hit. Once it did, the response was to invoke what one leading economist described as the “war machine” – the Federal Reserve financing U.S. government emergency-relief packages costing trillions of dollars. Eventually, markets from stocks to bonds became hooked on the expectation that stimulus would be provided in amounts needed to keep investors from suffering losses deep enough to impair confidence and derail the economic recovery. All the while China pushed forward with its plan to roll out a digital version of its yuan, raising the specter that a virtual currency from the world’s second-biggest economy might eventually challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance in payments for global trade. In the U.S. and elsewhere, billions of dollars of venture capital and trader money flowed into an array of obscure digital tokens on blockchain-based, semi-autonomous trading and lending systems – collectively known as “decentralized finance,” or DeFi; the fast-paced growth suggested that digital-asset markets might represent a haven of innovation in an otherwise stagnant global banking system. Whether due to causation or correlation or merely wishful thinking, the bitcoin market, long viewed as a hotbed of volatility and unfettered speculation, suddenly seemed to rise with nearly every new twist. Coming Tuesday: Even before the coronavirus hit, bitcoin traders and mainstream economists alike were growing increasingly concerned about the slowing U.S. economy, rapid growth in corporate debt and whether the dollar faced growing threats to its global monetary hegemony. – Bradley Keoun Bitcoin watch Bitcoin’s revived uptrend could soon lead to a much-anticipated breakout above the $20,000 mark. “We have witnessed a large move up over the weekend, with MicroStrategy’s efforts to increase bitcoin holdings from several large players bringing with it fresh optimism,” Matthew Dibb, chief operations officer of Stack Funds, told CoinDesk. “Our belief is that we will see a breach of $20,000 in the coming weeks.” On Friday, business-intelligence firm MicroStrategy raised $650 million through a convertible senior note sale to fund bitcoin purchases; the deal was upsized from $550 million. Since then, the cryptocurrency has rallied by over $1,000 and was last seen trading near $19,100, according to CoinDesk 20 data. The cryptocurrency nearly doubled from $10,000 to a new record high of $19,920 in the 12 weeks to Dec. 1, before falling to $17,700 last week amid a bout of profit taking. Pullbacks are a normal element of bull markets and often recharge the engines for a bigger ascent. Kenetic Capital’s CEO Jehan Chu also foresees bitcoin marching onward with “two steps forward, one step back” price action. The breakout, however, may remain elusive until the new year, as some investors are still looking to sell around record highs. “The topside is still kept with lots of selling orders, possibly from miners,” Patrick Heusser, head of trading at Zurich-based Crypto Broker AG, told CoinDesk over Twitter. – Omkar Godbole Read More: Bitcoin Still on Track to Breach $20K in Coming Weeks What’s hot Fidelity’s Abigail Johnson says cryptocurrency industry is moving so quickly that “trying to keep up with it is very hard” ( CryptoSlate ) Bitcoin is a “fascinating representation of animal spirits and speculation,” DoubleLine’s Jeff Gundlach says ( Business Insider ) An additional $600B of bitcoin demand could materialize if pension funds and insurance companies in the U.S., euro area, U.K. and Japan allocate 1% of portfolios to the asset, compared with the cryptocurrency’s current market capitalization of about $350B, JPMorgan analysts write in new report ( Bloomberg ) Wall Street heavyweights moving into bitcoin are the enemy to many who hail from the cryptocurrency’s cypherpunk roots, CoinDesk’s Michael Casey writes in Money Reimagined newsletter ( CoinDesk ) China aims for gradual consumer adoption of digital yuan, former central bank governor Zhao says ( South China Morning Post ) 19-year-old Ukrainian lawmaker discloses ownership of $24.5M of cryptocurrency monero ( CoinDesk ) Sygnum, a digital-asset firm with a Swiss banking license, claims to be first bank in world to tokenize its own shares ( CoinDesk ) Aegis Custody clears hurdle in bid for South Dakota trust charter ( CoinDesk ) CEO of DeFi insurer Nexus Mutual hacked for $8M in NXM tokens ( CoinDesk ) Bitcoin exchanges flood London’s Metro with ads ( CoinDesk ) Analogs The latest on the economy and traditional finance Morgan Stanley says there’s a chance a no-deal Brexit could prompt Bank of England to cut benchmark interest rates below zero ( Reuters ) Remote-working shift loosens Silicon Valley’s tight grip on tech industry ( WSJ ), and Google opens door to “flexible workweek” ( NYT ) Shandong Ruyi Technology Group, once considered the “LVMH of China,” cancels bondholder meeting over possible debt-maturity extension as coronavirus exacerbates “liquidity pressure” and interest payment looms this week ( Nikkei Asia Review ) Suspected Russian hackers are believed to have broken into the U.S. Treasury and Commerce departments and have been monitoring internal email traffic ( Reuters ) Tweet of the day Related Stories First Mover: Horrible 2020 Economy Proved Best Thing for Bitcoin First Mover: Horrible 2020 Economy Proved Best Thing for Bitcoin... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

(Reporting by Imani Moise; Editing by Sam Holmes)', "It took me a little more than a year to get cynical. In December, 2019 I implored against the inherent cynicism of so thoroughly anticipating baseball to behave like a cold-hearted business that you barely bother to wish it wouldn\x92t. Save some earnest outrage \x97 the kind that\x92s only possible if you get your hopes up \x97 for owners who aren\x92t trying, I reasoned. Otherwise you\x92re just giving them preemptive cover not to. After all, fans didn\x92t force billionaires to buy sports franchises when Bitcoin or Google stocks or whatever else are right there. Even if it becomes expected to treat a public-facing facet of community culture like an investment in your portfolio, it still shouldn\x92t be accepted. Two months later, the Boston Red Sox traded Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers , who would go on to win a World Series in his first year in L.A. (in between some other stuff happening). As promised, I was furious . Betts, a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, was shipped out of the city he brought a ring to for the sake of getting the Sox under the competitive balance tax threshold, and because we accept as incontrovertible that teams should expect more return on investment for a talented player than simply his talent on the field in the years that they pay him. In short, it was about saving money instead of building a better baseball team. That wasn\x92t new at the time but it seemed worth spelling out, excoriating the central figure (John Henry) and questioning why he had even bothered to buy the baseball team. The Mookie Betts trade of this offseason just happened: After telegraphing that they would prioritize financial flexibility over the face of their franchise for years (again, a kind of critique that eventually functions as an excuse if you repeat it enough), Cleveland traded shortstop Francisco Lindor and veteran starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to the Mets in exchange for infielders Amed Rosario and Andrés Giménez and a couple of prospects . Story continues The fact that a team would willingly trade Francisco Lindor is a sign of baseball's rot. (AP Photo/Aaron Doster) Carrasco is a beloved starter with a track record of success that bolsters the back end of a top-heavy Mets rotation. Lindor, just like Betts had been, is a proven superstar entering his age-27 season and final year of team control, and the Mets will likely look to extend him before he ever becomes a free agent . And the return to Cleveland? I\x92m sure it was the best their front office could find after abdicating the obvious leverage of making it seem like you even want to keep a perennial All-Star in his prime. On one hand, the analysis is easy: No one thinks this is anything other than a salary dump for Cleveland, which is left with the lowest projected payroll in baseball . On the other hand, the analysis is becoming unnecessary: Color me cynical because I\x92m running out of ways or will to complain that baseball owners don\x92t treat the game with the same enthusiasm, affection, effort, or even interest as a casual fan, let alone a participant. It\x92s hard to find something new to say because what\x92s the point of parsing the symptoms when the disease itself has already been diagnosed? Smarter people than I have written incisive takedowns of a system that\x92s doing exactly what it\x92s supposed to : Namely, enrich the owners with little risk. The past few years have been nothing if not a repetitive, eye-opening testament to how owners would rather profit than win \x97 and while not mutually exclusive, those endgames are increasingly divorced from each other.

France is looking to eliminate anonymity in the crypto sector. And an exposé into how FinCEN became a honeypot for personal information. Banking playPaxos is making moves to become afederally regulated bank in the U.S., according to a filing with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The stablecoin issuer and crypto services firm is seeking to create the Paxos National Trust, which would operate out of New York and incorporate as one of the first crypto-native banks in the U.S. There are two paths to achieving bank status, the state-chartered route through Wyoming (that Kraken and Avanti used) or the federal route, which is also being pursued by BitPay and Anchorage. La Terreur?The French Ministry of Financeunveiled sweeping know-your-customer(KYC) requirements Wednesday on all cryptocurrency companies operating in and servicing the country, a move that could ultimately strip the French crypto space of any semblance of anonymity. All virtual asset service providers must immediately begin checking their customers’ identities, verifying “beneficial owners” and prohibit anonymous crypto accounts, according to the press release. The government said the action was taken to prevent terrorist financing, a broadside that has justified the encroachment of centralized powers over many civil liberties.

There is little sense of the amount of personal data, what types of data and how long the agency holds on to data or shields it from malicious actors – and the agency wouldn’t answer questions. “You’ve got personal, private information in a database and allegations of conduct,” said Melissa G.R.

In a Tuesday report, BofA analysts said a digital euro, a central bank digital currency with accounts and reserves held by the supranational European Central Bank, would cut into commercial bank deposits and reduce the need for third parties. Analysts criticized the ECB’s steadfast attention on China’s digital yuan and Diem’s (formerly Libra’s) multinational stablecoin, as a cause for developing a CBDC. “Money, like internet data, has a strong tendency to monopoly,” they wrote. Dollar vs. BTCMorgan Stanley Investment Management Chief Global Strategist Ruchir Sharma saidbitcoin is already cutting into the U.S. dollar. “Today, most bitcoins are held as an investment, not used to pay bills, but that is changing,” Sharma wrote in a Financial Times op-ed. He further argued that “bitcoinwill gain” as its traditional competitors falter – even if the market bubble were to burst.

CoinDesk’s Nikhilesh De reports nine U.S. lawmakers of both major political parties havewritten an open letterto Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Jay Clayton Wednesday and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) seeking clarification. What is crypto custodianship, anyway? To date, only a few companies in the crypto space have become registered broker-dealers, including Watchdog Capital, Harbor (which was acquired by BitGo) and Prometheum. Though there is reportedly a backlog of applications sitting with FINRA. “CoinDesk reported in June 2019 FINRA had been sitting on a number of broker-dealer applications from firms that touch crypto, some for over a year. FINRA had taken no actions to approve or disapprove these applications, letting them sit in a sort of limbo,” De wrote. The most recent letter asks the SEC and FINRA to confirm whether banks can provide custody services for digital securities; asks for a clearer pathway for crypto custodians to register with FINRA; and for FINRA to move on outstanding applications. Though there are a number of issues that complicate the question. First is the issue of private keys – a special bit of code that confers complete access, control and ownership over a crypto asset – and which party controls them. Second is the ambiguous classification of cryptocurrencies, which depending on intended use, level of decentralization and other considerations could fall along the commodity to security spectrum. (All securities are commodities, but not all commodities – like gift cards, for instance – are securities.) This is important, because, as De notes, broker-dealers in the crypto space may also lose Securities Investor Protection Act protections if the crypto assets are deemed not tobe securities, the agencies said. Three of the lawmakers involved in this bill, plus Rep. Scott Perry, have also sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, “expressing our concern” aboutrumored self-hosted wallet regulations. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted last month that Mnuchin was “planning to rush out” these new regulations, which would apparently require crypto exchanges to verify know-your-customer data for self-hosted wallets before they could send cryptocurrencies off of their platforms and into the wallets. According to Wednesday’s letter, this potential regulation would “hinder American leadership,” preclude U.S. actors from participating in the space and “undermine the Treasury Department from stopping illicit actors from exploiting the financial system.” Art auctionLooking to make someone (or just yourself) happy this yuletide holiday?

Additionally, some amount of Tether and crypto from Binance is making it to Kraken and Coinbase to cash out via fiat markets. A couple weeks ago, the ratio of Tether to real fiat was about 4x, and now it's about 10x, effectively leveraging up the entire crypto market place, except about 90% of the cash is (likely) to be worthless in the near future, as exchanges around the world become increasingly liable for money laundering and unbacked Tether due to changing laws around the world.\n\nTl;dr;tl;dr\nUSD to USDT markets (Kraken) are being directly drained by Tether. Fiat markets (primarily Coinbase) are being indirectly drained by Tether via pumping up Bitcoin prices and cashing out. DeFi and Tether exchanges are being drained of their non-tether crypto in exchange for Tether, potentially via collateralized loans offering very attractive interest rates. Fiat off ramps will likely close to Tether this month, and Tether exchanges hunted down over the next year or two as Tether is shut out of more and more exchanges.\n\nFurther thoughts below:\nAs the bitcoiners would say, do your own research! (dyor)\n\nBut I've spent some time doing napkin research on flows, money laundering, and money laundering laws.\n\nSo let's start: 1) Bittrex and Poloniex are already involved in the NYAG Tether lawsuit, so I think it's they're likely to be held liable for running a Tether based exchange when new Anti Money Laundering rules take effect.\n\n2) ChainAnalysis's report on crypto money laundering identifies Huobi and Binance as accounting for roughly 50% of all crypto money laundering. All other exchanges (most likely tether based), peer 2 peer, and and DeFi markets account for the other 50%, which will be harder to deal with than a centralized exchange but also have less volume. https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/money-laundering-cryptocurrency-2019\n\n3) Researching Binance, it's based out of Malta, an EU country, and Huobi, based out of the Seychelles. This means to effectively deal with money laundering on these exchanges requires legal changes in those countries.\n\n4) At the end of December, the USA published new anti money laundering rules for crypto with an extremely short 15 day comment period before they take effect. So some time in January, these laws take effect. The key changes seem to be requiring exchanges to verify positive control on all sends and receives, the requirement that exchanges maintain 100% backing for all stable coins, and that individuals and exchanges can be held liable for touching laundered cryptocurrency. This opens exchanges and individuals in the USA to legal liability, and makes the usage of Tether a legal liability if 100% backing at the exchange can't be verified. This opens US based exchanges that use Tether to money laundering charges this month, as well as individuals involved with it. Coinbase doesn't use Tether, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them get served court papers just because of their size in the cryptocurrency space, the largest fiat on/off ramp. https://www.pymnts.com/cryptocurrency/2020/us-treasury-proposes-new-disclosure-rules-on-bitcoin-other-cryptos/\n\n5) The EU is rolling out new crypto anti money laundering laws under 6AMLD, that are required to take effect on June 3rd. As an EU member, Malta will then be obligated to take action against Binance, which is based out of Malta. https://www.electronicid.eu/en/blog/post/what-is-6amld/en\n\n6) The Seychelles, home of the #2 money launderer Huobi, is also launching new crypto anti money laundering rules, rolling out sometime between now and 2023. Based on their strategic plan, it looks like most of these will be implemented in the August to December time frame this year, opening up Huobi to legal action. https://www.seychellesf...

Here's a chart of its recent gains, via YCharts (note, it's a tiny bit behind, so use the chart as a directional instead of absolute tool): What else is there to say about the rally? We could note that bitcoin miner revenue remains far below its historical peaks, despite some recent gains. We could also point out that the aggregate value of all mined bitcoin in the wild is at an all-time high, per CoinMarketCap data . The real upshot? Bitcoin is showing it has long-term staying power even with all its historical volatility. But not everything is perfect in the world of bitcoin. Looking around the crypto market, the DeFi boom looks mostly based on the Ethereum chain, for example, so bitcoin isn't catching the same developer-and-demand updraft that the rival cryptocurrency is currently enjoying. And I still don't know what people are using bitcoin for other than hoping to get rich. And some are -- look at those gains! But not that many. The famous cryptocurrency doesn't appear to be growing much in terms of unique usage . Anyway, here's a post about bitcoin being worth a little more than $18,000. That's a lot!

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 0.82% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 2.85% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $40,168.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin rose to an early morning high $40,915.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $38,700.0. Steering clear of the first major resistance level at $37,386, Bitcoin rallied to a mid-afternoon intraday high $41,399.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $42,800, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$40,000 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin moved back through to $40,000 levels to reduce the deficit on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, supported by the latest breakthrough to $41,000 levels. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a bullish day on Saturday. Bitcoin Cash SV surged by 61.14% to lead the pack, with Chainlink rallying by 15.41%. Cardano’s ADA (+8.99%), Ethereum (+5.27%), and Polkadot (+5.97%) also made solid gains. Binance Coin (+3.71%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.40%), Litecoin (+3.14%), and Ripple’s XRP (+1.36%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market cap slid to a Monday low $735.72bn before rising to a Friday high $1,115.32bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,086.23bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell to a Monday low 67.66% before rising to a Friday high 71.37%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 69.47%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.85% to $40,510.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $40,170.0 to a high $40,540.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-6.14%) and Polkadot (-0.34%) saw red early on to buck the trend. Story continues It was a bullish start to the day for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Chainlink was up by 1.89% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $40,089 to bring the first major resistance level at $41,478 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $41,399.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and resistance at $41,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $43,500 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $42,788. Failure to avoid a fall through the $40,089 pivot would bring the first major support level at $38,779 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of sub-$38,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $37,390.

By Mark Hackett Thoughts Markets are poised to begin 2021 similar to how 2020 ended, with a broad market rally. Last week saw a strong close to the year, with the S&P 500® Index touching its 33rd record close for 2020. The primary drivers of market strength continue to be optimism surrounding the vaccines and the benefits from the latest round of fiscal stimulus. The S&P 500 gained 68% from the March low after losing more than one-third of its value in less than a month, finishing the year with a return of 18.4%, the sixth-best performance in the past 20 years. Notable winners including the NASDAQ (+44.9%), the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+39.5%) and MSCI Emerging Market Index (+18.7%). Sentiment indicators reinforce the enthusiasm of investors, with the American Association of Individual Investors showing bearishness at multi-year lows. A Bank of America survey of fund managers showed the lowest level of cash in nearly eight years. The strong sentiment reading also reflects elevated valuations, with the S&P 500 at 22x forward earnings and the NASDAQ at 28x earnings. IPO activity also reflected the optimism, with $368 billion more than 50% above the previous high. Betting odds and polls have steadily shifted towards Democrats winning the Georgia runoff election and control of the Senate. Coinciding with that shift has been a steadily improving equity market, suggesting that investors are betting on incremental stimulus, but not enough of a mandate to drive transformational tax or regulatory reform. This is consistent with the “glass half-full” mindset of investors over the past two months. News The vaccine rollout has lagged initial estimates, with just 4.2 million doses administered as of Saturday, below the 20 million year-end goal. Doctor Fauci, while acknowledging disappointment, noted that the pace has accelerated and could be fully on track within a week. Georgia is set to hold a runoff election on Tuesday that will determine control of the Senate. The Democrats hold modest leads in polls and early voting per RealClearPolitics, while betting market Predictit gives Republicans a slight lead in odds of retaining power. Even if the Democrats gain control, the margin will be remarkably thin, and analysts are skeptical over whether a meaningful shift in tax or regulatory policy is possible. Democrat control could, however, spark another round of coronavirus stimulus and potentially an infrastructure package.

He’s also a crypto millionaire. Solod is the son of two national parliament members, Yuri Solod and Natalia Korolevska. He entered politics this autumn, fresh out of school. In his obligatory property declaration, he said heowned 185,000 monero, or $24.5 million worth of the cryptocurrency. This was, in fact, the only piece of property the young lawmaker owned himself. Everything else in hisdeclaration, including real estate, cars and trademarks, belongs to his parents. Related:Ukrainian Politician Discloses Owning $24M in Privacy Coin Monero Solod told CoinDesk during a recent interview that he started watching crypto when he was at school, around 2014. Bitcoin did not attract him. Monero (XMR), on the other hand, seemed like a more viable cryptocurrency due to its anonymity and constant demand by the dark market, Solod said. He accumulated monero through 2015 on exchanges, he said, using his savings and some money his parents gave him for a business project that never happened. Solod “never really liked school,” he said, so he spent a lot of time studying financial markets and learning about crypto. Ukraine, which was rated by Chainalysis as the country with thehighest crypto adoption levelin the world, is now in the process of passing itsfirst legislation regulating crypto. Solod admits that, at first, he was not crazy about this. “For me, as an entrepreneur and a young guy, this is bad: I used to see crypto as an island in the ocean, untouched by a sinful hand. An absolutely free zone where everyone can do anything. But as a politician, I understand that this law will bring money into the [country’s] budget,” Solod said. Related:Ukraine's Draft Crypto Bill Passes First Parliamentary Hearing Monero’s privacy feature no longer applies to Solod. He must report all his property as a public official, thanks to a law intended to prevent corruption and illegal enrichment in the country’s echelons of power. Going forward, the young politician might liquidate the crypto and reinvest the money into a new business project, he said. Solod is thinking about getting into crypto mining (no decision on what coin so far) and buying some tokens from the freshly launchedEfforceproject supported by Apple co-founder Steve Wozlniak. But his favorite crypto-related plan is launching his own token, Solod said. “Elections and the political career distracted me from these plans for a while,” he said. They distract him from his studies as well. Solod said he’s currently pursuing an economy major at the Royal Holloway University in London. He’s studying remotely due to the coronavirus quarantine, he said, although it’s sometimes hard to find time for both work and school. Asked why he decided to go into politics, Solod referred to his family, saying that “he was born in it.” “I was interested to figure out why the country isn’t developing,” Solod said. “I really want to change the situation with the corruption. The old methods to prevent it aren’t working anymore.” • Meet the 19-Year-Old Ukrainian Lawmaker With Millions in Monero • Meet the 19-Year-Old Ukrainian Lawmaker With Millions in Monero... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/LayingWaste', 'PSA: ROGER VER DID NOT CREATE BITCOIN CASH!

Shenzhen, China-based mining firm Linzhi Inc. has begun rolling out a new Ethereum ASIC miner dubbed the Phoenix, reportedly three times more powerful than top options available today. As reported by CoinDesk , the journey to produce a more powerful and efficient Ethash ASIC miner was begun some two years ago by Chen Min, former CTO of mining giant Canaan. Mining pool F2 Pool released a demo of the new machine on YouTube Saturday. The Phoenix outpaces the next best A10+ Pro at 2,600 megahashes per second MH/s to around 500 MH/s. Linzhi’s new machine is also more energy efficient clocking in at 3,000 watts per hour to the A10+ Pro’s 1,300 W, F2 Pool says. Related: US Bitcoin Mining Firm Core Scientific to Triple Capacity With Massive 59,000-Machine Order “If you look back on CoinDesk reporting about Linzhi dating back to the first article in September, 2018, it’s clear we had delays,” Linzhi Director of Operations Wolfgang Spraul told CoinDesk in an email. “Some due to underestimating the technology, then some due” to the coronavirus pandemic. Read more: Ethereum Fees Plummeted 65% in October Following DeFi Volumes Back to Earth Spraul said the firm is rolling out pre-orders and limited quantities to “developers, community, pool operators, etc.” Innosilicon carries the A10+ Pro for about $4,440 per unit while Linzhi has yet to release a public price figure. Scrapping Ethereum mining The new product comes as the Ethereum network has begun a technical transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake (PoS). That process began Dec. 1 with the launch of the Beacon Chain . That chain acts as a central conductor for the new blockchain network which uses coin deposits as a means of securing the network, called “staking,” over mining. Story continues Related: What Is Proof-of-Work? Read more: What Is Proof-of-Work? Still, miners have at least a two-year runway with PoW on Ethereum. The current network, Eth 1.x, won’t be moved over to the new PoS blockchain until phase 1.5 of Eth 2.0. The current Linzhi Phoenix demoed by F2 Pool will need at least one upgrade to stay useful before that transition, however. The Ethereum network’s directed acyclic graph (DAG) – a component of Ethereum’s PoW algorithm called Ethash – stands at just under 4 gb , while each Linzhi Phoenix only has a 4.4 GB memory. The incumbent A10, on the other hand, can house between 6 and 8 gigabytes, F2 Pool says. The Phoenix will need a bump in memory size or aftermarket components if it is not to become obsolete before phase 1.5. Spraul told CoinDesk in an email that the Phoenix miners currently rolling out are limited to quantities of pre-orders. The firm is “working on a successor with an increase in DAG memory – no specs yet,” he said. Of course, other Ethash-based cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum Classic will still be using proof-of-work, meaning a market will still exist for the Phoenix even after Eth 2.0 phase 1.5.

USDT went from $6B to $16B in 5 months, even as the Bitcoin price was ranging around $10k +/- 20%. During this timeframe, Tether was experiencing what appears to be a losing court battle, while we saw insane pumps of absolute shitcoins for no apparent reason. Followed by a BTC rampage which we haven\'t seen since 2013, which is way out of trend, and doesn\'t make much sense (despite maximalist narratives).\n\nCheck TradingView. Pull up BTCUSD, and overlay USDT (by cling the "compare" button at the top middle of screen). For best viewing, you should pin the tether line to "new left scale" and then select "Regular" for the y-axis, and then you\'ll have to change the BTCUSD price on the right scale back to "Logarithmic."\n\nBetween May-Oct, Bitcoin\'s price was reasonably stable between 9k-12k, with a nice uptrend and recovery from the March dump. Of course Monero\'s performance over that time period was far better, with much better looking charts. Notice that between between May and Oct, Tether goes from 6 billion to 16 billion with repeated prints. \n\nWas that really institutional investors and retail, buying Tether intending to hold for 5 months before buying? Almost no one with any knowledge or money to speak of would do that. So where did that Tether go, and what was happening? \n\nThe last time we saw a parabolic 4x in the BTC price, was PlusToken ponzi, gobbling up 100k coins before being shut down, with the market top being literally the day they were arrested. But even that parabolic move pales in comparison to what just happened here for the past few months. Bitcoin has gone on a rampage, the likes of which we haven\'t seen since 2013. \n\nThis all occurred under various suspicious circumstances. Starting with the ongoing litigation against Tether. It wasn\'t looking good for them in court, and now, they have been ordered to provide documents which, if they provide what the judge has demanded, will almost certainly reveal their fraud. They might even be 100% backed, but their activities have largely been documented as fraudulent. So one has to wonder, did they see the writing on the wall and decide to go for one last hoorah before they have to stop?\n\nWe also have the ratio charts to look at, particularly for XMRBTC and ETHBTC. These charts were beautiful. Classic bottoming, RSI divergence over long timeframes, accumulation, reversal, followed by higher highs. And then suddenly, the dumbest most useless shitcoins start doing insane pumps, 2x, 3x, 4x in the span of days. We see these repeated scenarious where literally everything pumps except Monero. And then after those pumps are done, Monero pumps, usually solo.\n\nThen the Monero network, somehow comes under attack just months after the IRS awards a contract to try and break Monero.

The SEC alleges that the Ripple Foundation conducted unregistered securities sales, which could result in XRP being deemed as a security by the US regulator.

If XRP manages to pick itself up and follow the wider cryptocurrency market rally, levels of resistance remain at $0.315 and $0.3475, although it is unlikely that price action will drive to these points unless there is a positive resolution to the SEC situation. What seems more likely at the moment is continuation to the downside, especially if Bitcoin continues to rally to a new all-time high. Downside targets have now emerged at $0.175 and $0.130, although a dive to as low as $0.10 may be on the cards depending on the upcoming shift in sentiment.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 3.63% on Tuesday. Following on from a 7.31% slide on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,123.0. It was the 4 th consecutive day in the red. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin slipped to an early morning low $33,762.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $31,270, Bitcoin struck a mid-morning intraday high $36,656.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $38,912, Bitcoin slid to an early afternoon intraday low $32,427. While steering clear of the first major support level, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Late in the day, Bitcoin briefly revisited $35,500 levels before sliding back into the deep red. Despite of the late reversal, Bitcoin avoided a fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Tuesday. Bitcoin Cash SV rallied by 10.22% to lead the day. Binance Coin (+0.12%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.89%), Crypto.com Coin (+5.88%), Polkadot (+4.45%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.66%) also found support. It was a bearish day for the rest of the majors, however Chainlink (-4.13%), Ethereum (-3.56%), and Litecoin (-4.28%) joined Bitcoin in the red. Early in the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $1,040.51 before falling to a Monday low $804.33bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $888.48bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 68.39% to a Monday high 69.97%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 69.00%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 3.12% to $33,058.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $34,105.0 to a low $32,931.0. While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested early on, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Polkadot bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.69%, with Bitcoin Cash SV and Crypto.com Coin flat. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ethereum was down by 3.65% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $34,402 to bring the first major resistance level at $36,631 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $35,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $36,656.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $38,631. Failure to move through the $34,402 pivot would bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $32,148 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level at $30,173 should limit the downside.

Smith said the cyber attack had broken the "norms and rules" of what was espionage. The cyber attack, attributed by US officials to Russia-backed hackers, broke into US government departments, giving hackers the ability to spy on emails for months. He added that certain sectors, such as healthcare, should be off limits to nation-state cyber actors. 04:14 PM CES: Self-driving takes a back seat Driverless cars and flying robotaxis aren\'t dead, but the industry response appears increasingly lukewarm, writes The Telegraph\'s motoring correspondent Andrew English .

We knew that customers would be shopping longer this holiday season. More than 60% of jewelry customers said that they would be in the market early, starting as early as August or September. So, we've really changed the way we think about holiday. It's not just a fourth-quarter phenomenon. We've been thinking about the third and the fourth quarter, together, as the holiday season, CEO Gina Drosos told Yahoo Finance Live. On Thursday, Signet, the parent company of well-known brands such as Kay Jewelers, Zales, and Jared: The Galleria of Jewelry, reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings results. Signet's total sales were $1.3 billion for the quarter, up 9.5% from a year ago. The closely-followed same-store sales rose 15.1% from the prior year, while e-commerce sales surged 71.4%. Brick-and-mortar same-store sales jumped 6.8% from a year ago. The jewelry giant's proprietary research from the prior quarter had anticipated a strong engagement season with couples quarantining together deciding to get engaged. The customer research found that of couples within 18 months of getting engaged, more than half chose to quarantine together. Of those, 93% said their relationships were equally as strong or getting stronger. In the quarter, Signet saw double-digit growth across its bridal category, with most of that coming from engagement rings. "We had anticipated more engagements and got out in front of that with great new bridal lines, beautiful product, more customization options, and targeted marketing to couples who were in this stage of their relationship," Drosos said.

(Photo by Johnny Louis/Getty Images) Elsewhere, fashion jewelry has also seen strong sales, "with people expressing their style with earrings and pendants now, not with shoes, when we're all on a Zoom call," Drosos added. Story continues Omnichannel experience The pandemic has accelerated many trends in the retail landscape, including the jewelry business. Technology continues to play a more prominent role as more customers get comfortable with purchasing big-ticket items like jewelry online. To be sure, the spike in online sales Signet saw was "not a reaction to crisis," Drosos said, noting the company has focused on building "a significantly better digital business" over the last few years. The CEO, who took the helm in August 2017, has long embraced the role of digital in the jewelry business. Drosos has focused on a three-pillar plan known as "The Path To Brilliance ," and one key component is to create an omnichannel experience that blends the physical and online shopping experience. Drosos' team has focused on creating tools to make customers "feel more comfortable" making an expensive purchase online while maintaining the jewelry consultant's relationship. This year, the jewelry giant brought technology to its field teams to create a virtual selling experience. The company now has 700 dedicated virtual sellers, while its 20,000 consultants and store managers can also sell virtually or meet physically with clients. Signet also has visualization tools for online shopping. For example, a customer can upload a photo of their hand and virtually try on rings. [When] customers buy jewelry online the two things they're looking for is advice and a trusted relationship and being able to visualize the product, Drosos added. Drosos added that the company has also optimized its store footprint. On the earnings call, the executive highlighted the company's continued shift to off-mall locations. Two-thirds of Signet's store fleet is housed in traditional malls. Of the 380 planned closures in the fiscal year, 316 were closed by the end of the quarter, with most closings happening in standard mall locations. To be sure, stores will remain a long-term competitive advantage, she said. Drosos noted that most of the company's e-commerce sales come within 30 miles of a store. Jewelry has been very slow to become more digital, but I think it's really an omnichannel story, and that's where Signet can win. Julia La Roche is a correspondent for Yahoo Finance.

In aseries of tweets, Dorsey said he believed Twitter made the correct decision, but that “a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation.”\nIn his comments, Dorsey echoed Twitter’sprevious statementson the reason for the ban, writing that “offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real, and what drives our policy and enforcement above all.”\nAt the same time, Dorsey said that the ban also reflects “a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation.” (Twitter has spent much of thelast two yearstrying to figure out how to make its platform “healthier.”) He added that he feels Twitter’s decision has set a “dangerous” precedent that “an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation.”\nDorsey also pushed back on criticism that the company is engaging in censorship, writing that “a company making a business decision to moderate itself is different from a government removing access.” He also made clear that Twitter did not coordinate with other companies who have also banned or suspended Trump in recent days.\nYou can read his full comments below:\n“I do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a clear warning we’d take this action, we made a decision with the best information we had based on threats to physical safety both on and off Twitter. Was this correct? I believe this was the right decision for Twitter. We faced an extraordinary and untenable circumstance, forcing us to focus all of our actions on public safety. Offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real, and what drives our policy and enforcement above all.\nThat said, having to ban an account has real and significant ramifications. While there are clear and obvious exceptions, I feel a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation. And a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us. Having to take these actions fragment the public conversation. They divide us. They limit the potential for clarification, redemption, and learning. And sets a precedent I feel is dangerous: the power an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation. The check and accountability on this power has always been the fact that a service like Twitter is one small part of the larger public conversation happening across the internet.\nIf folks do not agree with our rules and enforcement, they can simply go to another internet service. This concept was challenged last week when a number of foundational internet tool providers also decided not to host what they found dangerous. I do not believe this was coordinated. More likely: companies came to their own conclusions or were emboldened by the actions of others. This moment in time might call for this dynamic, but over the long term it will be destructive to the noble purpose and ideals of the open internet. A company making a business decision to moderate itself is different from a government removing access, yet can feel much the same. Yes, we all need to look critically at inconsistencies of our policy and enforcement. Yes, we need to look at how our service might incentivize distraction and harm. Yes, we need more transparency in our moderation operations. All this can’t erode a free and open global internet.\nThe reason I have so much passion for #Bitcoin is largely because of the model it demonstrates: a foundational internet technology that is not controlled or influenced by any single individual or entity.

The price of the world's most popular cryptocurrency traded as high as $33,099 on Saturday, with almost all other markets closed over the first weekend in 2021. It was last up about 12% at $32,883. Bitcoin advanced more than 300% in 2020, and with the latest leg higher has added more than 50% since crossing $20,000 just two weeks ago. The blockchain currency has only been around for a decade or so, and in 2020 it has seen demand grow from larger U.S. investors, attracted by its perceived inflation-hedging qualities and potential for quick gains, as well as expectations it would become a mainstream payments method. Investors said limited supply of bitcoin - produced by so-called "mining" computers that validate blocks of transactions by competing to solve mathematical puzzles - has helped power upward moves over recent days. Some also saw it as a safe-haven play during the COVID-19 pandemic, akin to gold. "It's very likely that the asset will eventually pass $100,000 per coin," Sergey Nazarov, cofounder of Chainlink, a global blockchain project, wrote in an email on Saturday. "People have been steadily losing faith in their government currencies for years, and the monetary policies resulting from the economic impact of the coronavirus have only accelerated this decline." It trades on numerous exchanges, the largest of which is Coinbase, which is itself preparing to go public to become the first major U.S. cryptocurrency exchange to list on Wall Street. Multiple competitor cryptocurrencies use similar blockchain, or electronic ledger, technology. Ethereum, the second biggest, gained 465% in 2020 and was up almost 7% on Saturday. (The story corrects paragraph 8 to clarify reference to Coinbase listing.)

Today's Key News: ['By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock and oil prices fell on Friday, pressured by intensifying lockdowns and weak U.S. retail sales data, while the dollar index posted its largest weekly gain in more than two months. U.S. bond yields and stocks have risen recently, partly on expectations about the rollout of coronavirus vaccines and on a massive stimulus plan by the incoming Democratic administration. President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday unveiled a $1.9 trillion economic aid plan. But vaccination campaigns have progressed more slowly than expected and the prospect of stricter lockdowns in France and Germany, as well as a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in China, weighed on market sentiment. "I feel that after all the optimism regarding vaccines, we are now living the reality of a very slow rollout, which is weighing heavily on business activity," said Juan Perez, senior currency trader at Tempus Inc in Washington. "Until we have more guarantees on the medical front, markets will not continue to flourish despite whatever financial aid may be on the way," Perez said. The dollar gained ground against the euro and sterling, while the yen was little changed. Stocks fell but remained close to recent record highs, with investors also digesting the prospect of rising taxes to pay for Biden\'s plan.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 1.01% and MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.86%. Emerging market stocks lost 0.93%. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.67% lower, while Nikkei futures lost 2.01%. Story continues Yields were also pressured lower by a weaker-than-expected reading in U.S. retail sales. "This morning’s disappointing retail sales figures reinforced the idea that more stimulus will be needed," said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO Capital Markets in New York. U.S. 10-year notes last rose 13/32 in price to yield 1.0852%, from 1.129% late on Thursday. Despite the weekly dip in the benchmark yield, it was set to close a second week above 1%, a streak not seen since before the lockdowns took hold early last year. Oil prices fell sharply on concerns that demand would be lower as COVID-19 continues to rage globally.

Created as an alternative to the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, stablecoins are marketed as viable payments solutions for enterprise blockchain use cases, since merchants should – in theory – have no qualms about accepting them. Speaking of merchants, there are rumors that PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) could implement its very own stablecoin having recently announced support for a range of cryptocurrencies. The emergence of decentralized finance (defi) – a subset of the crypto market comprising tools for trustlessly interacting with open finance protocols like savings and lending – has shone a spotlight on stablecoins such as DAI and USDT, providing them with myriad use cases. One of the latest stablecoin examples isBXTB, a defi-based protocol that collateralizes other stablecoins to create its own CHIP token, hosted on a low-energy, high-throughput consensus mechanism called Proof of Capacity (PoC). CHIP, in other words, inherits the stability of tried and tested stablecoins deposited as collateral, while benefiting from faster speeds and lower transaction fees. An anonymous, community-driven defi protocol, BXTB wants to transform the stablecoin market via a yield-generating currency suitable for enterprise use cases. Initially, its ambition is to unify the payment and settlement systems of the multi-billion dollar gambling industry, partnering with operators, platform providers and publishers to ensure a seamless, trustworthy betting experience. The BXTB mainnet launched earlier this year, and the platform has already teamed up with several gaming operators including JustBet and GameWorks Technologies (GWX). One vocal supporter is Nigel Hughes, one-time Principal Consultant forNEM(New Economy Movement) and current Chief Technical Advisor for crypto mining firm R3V.lab. Hughes first came across the defi platform in 2018 and was immediately intrigued. Nigel Hughes “Through the course of my work on NEM I met the people behind BXTB, which was then just an idea that was being considered,” Hughes remembers. “I was impressed by the fact that the core team took the Satoshi Nakamoto approach by remaining out of the spotlight, and I felt that their vision very much aligned towards the long term – something you can’t say about too many projects in the defi and stablecoin space.” In the years following that fateful meeting, Hughes has played a key role in pushing BXTB and driving adoption. While many community members prefer to remain anonymous, the blockchain veteran is happy to go to bat for the platform, which he believes can “move blockchain technology towards greater inclusivity,” while at the same time addressing the lack of value being created by existing use cases. “Enterprise companies are looking for stablecoin solutions that can process transactions cheaply, quickly and with high velocity and volume,” Hughes observes. “By creating a collateralization mechanism that turns existing secure and successful stablecoins into high-throughput CHIPs, it’s possible to provide an enterprise-ready stablecoin solution and network that can be immediately implemented for real-world use cases.” Though the CHIP stablecoin is the central plank of the BXTB ecosystem, the platform does in fact feature multiple tokens.BXTBare governance tokens that can be mined or purchased then staked, alongside supported stablecoins likeUSDT, to mint CHIP and yieldyBXTB. Holders of the latter, meanwhile, earn yield by receiving a portion of the network and transaction fees generated on the sidechain. “Because BXTB uses a Proof of Capacity sidechain capable of high throughput and low fees, BXTB can be mined on very small and inexpensive devices,” Hughes explains. Proof of Capacitymining works by precomputing answers to cryptographic challenges and storing them on memory devices such as hard disks before the physical mining process begins. The answers are then checked, without the need for an intensive computational process. “Anyone with a hard drive and internet connection can contribute towards validation and consensus – this is entirely different to Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains,” says Hughes. “As a result, BXTB is accessible to the larger community, strengthening decentralization and increasing the integrity of the network.” As for the advantages of using CHIP rather than the stablecoins BXTB collateralizes, Hughes points to prohibitive transaction fees and lengthy confirmation times. “I have met plenty of businesses that have expressed the need for such a solution in their plans to utilize blockchain. The gaming industry happens to be the one vertical market with an immediate need for BXTB, and is a natural fit in view of increasing need for transparent settlement. “Companies can simply adopt CHIPs as an integrated solution on top of their existing technology stack – BXTB’s infrastructure can handle the rest. By allowing the output of games to be provably verified on the blockchain, players can interact with operators in a trustless manner, something that has been needed for a very long time.” Although BXTB is primarily envisaged as an enterprise-ready stablecoin solution for the gambling industry, there’s no denying its defi characteristics. Indeed, many stakeholders will be attracted to the platform purely to earn yield – online gaming won’t enter their minds. This is something Hughes readily acknowledges, but he sees BXTB as being a serious upgrade on existing defi protocols. “Today’s yield systems are not generating value through sustainable means. Many defi projects that are offering high yields are doing so at the risk of presenting a musical chairs scenario, where early adopters receive the highest yields and late adopters put their underlying collateral and funds at risk. “BXTB, on the other hand, derives yield by offering utility and solutions for existing real-world use cases, such as the gaming industry. In the simplest iteration, every transaction happening with CHIPs will be charged a small processing-based fee, which is paid out as incentive to yBXTB holders. This incentive mechanism, or “yield,” promotes the liquidity of CHIPs and makes it even more attractive for businesses.” “The intention in the long run is to move from being a foundation-operated blockchain to a fully on-chain governed protocol, similar to that of a DAO in other blockchains,” explains Hughes. “BXTB tokens will be utilized in some form as governance tokens, as they are readily available through Proof of Capacity mining. Whether BXTB transforms the stablecoin, online gambling or defi landscape remains to be seen. What is clear is that defi is breaking out of its vertical and beginning to shape other industries, from gaming to payments.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, fell by 1.91% on Saturday. Following on from a 6.15% slide on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $36,041.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $35,551.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin rose to a late morning intraday high $37,997.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $39,461, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $35,418.0. Steering clear of the first major support level at $34,260, Bitcoin moved back through to $36,000 levels to reduce the deficit on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest reversal. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was another mixed day on Saturday. Polkadot surged by 39.53% to lead the way. Cardano’s ADA (+16.05%) and Crypto.com Coin (+15.91%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+5.28%) and Ethereum (+4.97%) trailed the front runners. It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack. Chainlink slid by -3.24% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.21%), Litecoin (-0.17%), and Ripple’s XRP (-0.36%) saw modest losses on the day. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Monday low $804.97bn before rising to a Thursday high $1,083.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,004.03bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Thursday high 70.28% before falling to a Saturday low 66.73%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 67.26%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.47% to $36,211.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $35,565.0 before striking a high $36,348.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.05%), Crypto.com Coin (+2.27%), Ethereum (-0.19%), and Polkadot (-0.52%) struggled early on. Story continues It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Cardano’s ADA was up by 2.87% to lead the way, with Binance Coin up by 2.22%. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $36,485 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,553 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and Saturday’s high $37,997.0 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $39,064. Failure to move through the $36,485 pivot would bring the first major support level at $34,974 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of the second major support level at $33,906 and the 23.6% FIB of $33,008.

And this week made it clear just how far some of those companies have come.An eye-popping IPO from Affirm led the way, but more than a half-dozen other fintech startups also made major news. And that's one of 10 things you need to know from the past week:Max Levchin, who co-founded PayPal and now leads Affirm, is no stranger to the power of fintech. (Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)1. Money talks Affirm tried its best to avoid a huge IPO pop that would leave money on the table. First, the provider of point-of-sale loans delayed its listing in December, in the wake of intense investor demand when Airbnb and DoorDash went public. (Let's take a moment to appreciate the strangeness of a company being worried its stock might be too popular.) Then, earlier this month, Affirm increased its IPO's initial price range of $33 to $38 per share to a new range of $41 to $44. Ultimately, it priced its shares even higher, landing on a $49 figure for a debut this Wednesday.And yet Affirm still opened trading at more than $90 per share and closed its first day at $96.36, up nearly 100% from that already-elevated IPO price. That resulted in a market cap of some $23 billion for Affirm, which was valued privately at $2.9 billion in 2019.The banner debut is a sign that the IPO market is still going crazy—more on that later in this newsletter. As my colleague James Thorne writes, it could be the first ofmany significant fintech IPOs to comein 2021, along with names like SoFi, Coinbase and Robinhood. Globally, there were $30.9 billion worth of VC exits in the fintech sector during 2020, according to PitchBook data, the highest total of at least the past decade.Taken in the context of the past seven days, Affirm's warm reception also underlines just how bullish investors are feeling about the future of fintech.Checkout.com, a London-based developer of payments technology, became the most valuable venture-backed company in Europe this week with a $450 million Series C that cameat a $15 billion valuation. In Singapore, ridehailing and food delivery giant Grab raised more than $300 million this week for its fintech unit.Financial data specialist MX, payments provider Rapyd and digital lending startup Blend all raised nine-figure fundings this week, resulting in respective valuations of $1.9 billion, $2.5 billion and $3.3 billion.

The FCA recently put the exchange on the list for temporary registration and wanted to know what EXMO, an exchange with $117 million in daily volume, according toCoinGecko, was going to do to prevent such incidents in the future, the exchange’s COO Sergey Zhdanov told CoinDesk, providing rare details about how exchanges address regulatory requirements in the U.K. The country has been a jurisdiction of choice for many crypto startups. “The U.K. has always been a strong hub for financial companies, whether they are crypto or not. The regulatory framework, unlike other countries, for crypto has gradually started to become clearer and I feel this clarity is what companies are really searching for,” Iqbal V. Gandham, former managing director of eToro in London, told CoinDesk. Related:UK Exchange CoinCorner Adds Bitcoin Lightning Network Support Last year, the country got serious about taking control of the crypto industry. This past summer, the FCA told cryptocurrency service providersthey needed to registerto keep operating in the U.K.. Since then, multiple applications have flowed in, prompting the agency to introduce atemporary registration regimefor the companies it wouldn’t be able to vet before the Dec. 16, 2020, deadline. So far, only four companies have obtained the full registration, including the Winklevoss brothers’ Gemini exchange. Thelist of 95 companiesthat received temporary authorization includes exchanges Bitstamp, Coinfloor and eToro, and infrastructure players Fidelity Digital Assets, Galaxy Digital, among others. EXMO, a smaller crypto exchange with a largely Russian and Ukrainian team, was on the list, too. Instead of waiting around for cats to herd themselves, the FCA reached out to the companies, which is why last January the agency contacted EXMO to remind the exchange that new regulations were coming, Zhdanov said. Related:Kraken Users Are Staking More Than $1B in Crypto “They said: ‘We’re monitoring all the crypto exchanges and wanted to make sure you know that you should be doing user verification. I was surprised that they contacted exchanges themselves,” he added. EXMO was launched in 2014 by a team of Russian crypto enthusiasts headed by then-real estate developer Ivan Petukhovsky. “If I knew back then how challenging it [the business] would be, I probably wouldn’t even have started it,” he told CoinDesk over a call. Even though the team initially was located in Thailand, where Petuknovsky’s real estate business was located, EXMO chose to register its headquarters in the U.K. “Back then, nobody understood if a legal entity [for a crypto business] was needed and if it was important at all,” Zhdanov said. “But after mid-2017, after the [initial coin offerings], all the banks turned away from crypto and we realized that a legal entity was very important.” Getting a bank account is a problem for the crypto industry; even now, only a handful of banks are serving crypto businesses, Zhdanov said. It didn’t matter that much at the dawn of the crypto industry, in 2016 and earlier, he added. Back then, partnering with payment processors was enough to provide small crypto purchases, while for large amounts of crypto people would often just pay the over-the-counter brokers with cash. But as crypto got more attention, the need for a bank account became more urgent. Things got slightly better over time, but not a whole lot. “In 2018, we got a lot of rejections from banks,” Zhdanov said. “Back then, 90% of banks would refuse to work with crypto. Now, it’s probably 80%.” The other 20% or so apply strict compliance rules, he added. In Europe, as the industry is getting more regulated it’s getting a bit easier. But even having a legal entity does not guarantee a bank would serve you, Zhdanov said. At first, EXMO got an Estonian license – one of the first registration formats for crypto businesses in the world. But that did not open the doors of banks for EXMO, Zhdanov said. Only in early 2020 did the exchange get an account with Lichtenstein’s Friсk Bank. Since last year, stricter anti-money laundering (AML) rules, under the so-calledAML5 directive, came into force across Europe. EXMO introduced obligatory authentication for users. Users did not like it, Zhdanov said: About 10% of EXMO’s clients left immediately. “Someone just didn’t want to get verified, someone tried, got an error and didn’t want to try again,” Zhdanov said. However, all the big traders stayed on the platform because they had already been verified, he noted. Verification gives more control, so if an account gets compromised a verified user can ask the exchange to stop a withdrawal transaction by proving an intruder is trying to get money out. Now, with the registration and more regulatory requirements, the compliance team of EXMO was nearly doubled, to 26 people. Overall income fell 10%, Zhdanov said, both because of the users’ outflow and the new costs of more compliance officers, new software for transaction-tracing and keeping up with sanction lists. EXMO is relying on the outsourced contractors located in Russia and Ukraine for tech support. FCA appeared to be interested in why the workforce is located in these “high-risk” countries, Zhdanov said. The explanation that it’s more “cost efficient” worked, he added. To users in such countries, the exchange is applying an “enhanced due diligence,” Zhdanov said. EXMO is especially popular among Russian-speaking traders, and the majority of users come from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. However, the FCA only wanted to know how many U.K. users EXMO serves. Britain is the fourth-largest jurisdiction for EXMO in terms of users, Zhdanov said, with 500 monthly active users. “I think [FCA] needed to make sure you are working with the U.K. market at all, so they don’t have to regulate companies that aren’t even doing business here,” Petukhovsky said. Another question was how many people are using EXMO, but there is a catch: How do you define a “user”? Someone who registered on a platform? Someone who has a deposit in an account? Someone who did at least one trade? These can be different numbers, the EXMO team said. They ended up counting how many users made at least one trade over the past year, Zhdanov said. That turned out to be 400,000 users. The FCA asked how many of those were verified, and why not all. The team explained that some people had been trading but didn’t try to withdraw money from their accounts, so for the time being there was no risk associated with such users and no need to verify them. The FCA seemed to accept the logic because it hasn’t asked about this anymore, Zhdanov said. The agency also requested a sample of cases for users blocked for AML reasons, with the detailed reports. Overall, despite the burden of the new regulation, FCA’s approach seems reasonable so far, Zhdanov said: “Their job is to protect users. That’s what is shaping their interaction with us.” • What Does It Cost to Become an FCA-Approved Exchange? EXMO Execs Explain • What Does It Cost to Become an FCA-Approved Exchange?

Bitcoin’svalue has rapidly increased over the past two months. According toCoinMarketCap, you could buy one bitcoin for $11,500 on October 16th. As I’m writing this post, you can buy one bitcoin for $20,775.72 — it represents a 7.27% increase compared to yesterday’s price. It is now priced well over $20,000 on all major exchanges. You might remember the bitcoin frenzy from 2017. At the time, Bitcoin nearly reached $20,000 and crashed shortly after. As always, the fact that bitcoin has been going up doesn’t mean that it’ll go up in the future. This time, the rally seems a bit different, as there’s not as much hype around bitcoin. As we’re entering a long economic crisis, some institutional investors are looking for alternative assets — and bitcoin is one of them. Some people could choose to hold their crypto assets for a longer time. Still, there are a lot of new bitcoin investors who purchased just a fraction of a bitcoin on consumer fintech apps, such as Square’s Cash App, Robinhood and Revolut. Let’s see how the market evolves in the coming months.

Today's Key News: ["In this article, we presented billionaire John Paulson's top 10 stock picks. Click to skip ahead and see Billionaire John Paulson's Top 5 Stock Picks . The investing guru billionaire John Paulson , who converted his hedge fund into a family office in 2020, has benefited from its bullish bets on gold and healthcare stocks in 2020 after seeing lackluster returns in the past few years. The founder of New York-based hedge fund Paulson & Co is famous for making $20 billion in profits for betting against the financial collapse in 2008. Although Paulson gained roughly $5 billion in 2010 on a bet on gold, its strategy of investing billions of dollars into gold markets negatively impacted its portfolio in the last decade. John Paulson founded Paulson & Co in 1994 and the hedge fund managed almost $36 billion of assets at its peak, but assets under management fell to $9 billion last year. The fund is currently managing almost $10 billion in assets under management and its 13F portfolio's value stood around $3.2 billion at the end of the September quarter. John Paulson seeks to invest for the long-term, with the average time held for the top ten stock stands around 10 quarters. The healthcare sector accounts for 44% of the overall portfolio, thanks to big stakes in Horizon Therapeutics and Bausch Health Companies. Investments in the basic material sector account for 24% of the 13F portfolio while communication services weighting stands just over 9%. Paulson & Co has also diversified its portfolio towards financial services, consumer cyclical, and real estate sectors. John PAULSON & CO John Paulson of Paulson & Co Paulson & Co is well known for investing in merger arbitrage, event-driven, and distressed assets. Prior to Paulson & Co, the investing guru worked as a managing director in mergers and acquisitions at Bear Stearns. He received a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School in 1980. While John Paulson's reputation remains intact, the same can’t be said of the hedge fund industry as a whole, as its reputation has been tarnished in the last decade during which its hedged returns couldn’t keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. On the other hand, Insider Monkey’s research was able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the S&P 500 ETFs by more than 88 percentage points since March 2017 ( see the details here ). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that significantly underperformed the market. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 and they lost 13% through November 16. You can subscribe to our free newsletter on our homepage to receive our stories in your inbox. Story continues Let’s start reviewing billionaire John Paulson's top 10 stock picks to see whether one of the most prominent hedge fund manager’s long-running investments worked in 2020. 10. DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH ) John Paulson's position in DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) underperformed in 2020 as shares of the pay-tv services provider fell close to 10% in the last twelve months. Unfortunately, DISH Network has lost almost half of its value since John Paulson’s hedge fund initiated a position during the first quarter of 2017. The company is currently working on expanding its wireless offerings. Consequently, it acquired wireless carrier Boost Mobile in 2020 and acquired more than 9 million retail wireless subscribers. DISH seeks to innovate in the wireless market, with the strategy of building the nation's first cloud-native, Open RAN-based 5G broadband network. Other hand funds are also bullish on DISH Network as it was in 60 hedge funds’ portfolios at the end of the third quarter of 2020 compared to the all-time high of 58. 9. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISCK ) Paulson's position in Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: DISCK) also underperformed in the last twelve months despite a rally of 27% in the last month. The firm has initiated a position in Discovery in 2017, but shares of Discovery saw range-bound movement in the past three years. The latest rally in Discovery share price is supported by the company’s strategy of moving into the streaming services business. Discovery launched its streaming service Discovery+ this month, with a library of more than 55K shows. Andaz Private Investments, which posted a return of 14.6% in the first nine months of 2020, presented a bullish case for Discovery in an investor’s letter. Here’s what Andaz Private Investments stated : “Discovery is extremely undervalued and on a c.30% free cash flow yield. The company also believes its stock is extremely undervalued and is allocating half of that free cash into share buybacks. At a recent conference, they informed the market that they have successfully and significantly increased pricing in their recent Upfront (gathering of TV networks and advertisers). This will most likely result in greater profits and cash flow over the medium term. Discovery continues to gain share in the USA and Internationally.” 8. Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS ) Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS), which was formed as a result of a merger between Mylan and Pfizer's Upjohn, is the eighth largest stock holding of Paulson’s portfolio. Paulson's hedge fund was the long-running shareholder of Mylan prior to the merger agreement. After a strong share price rally in December, shares of Viatris plunged in 2021 due to a conservative outlook and a longer than expected delay in dividend announcement. The management expects flat revenue for 2021 and described the year as ‘trough’. The management also announced to initiate dividends during the second half of 2021. Previously, the company has announced to initiate dividends after the full quarter following the closure of the merger. 7. AngloGold Ashanti Limited (NYSE: AU ) Shares of AngloGold Ashanti Limited (NYSE: AU) also underperformed in the last twelve months despite a strong rally during the second and third quarter of 2020. The firm has initiated a position in AngloGold in 2009 and it currently accounts for 5.73% of the overall portfolio. AngloGold Ashanti is among the biggest gold mining companies in the world and it operates 14 mines and three projects in nine countries. The gold price has been under pressure over the past few months after hitting an all-time high in July 2020. Consequently, the AngloGold share price fell almost 30% in the last six months. Despite that, the company believes they are in a position to offer hefty dividends to shareholders. 6. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (NYSE: TAK ) Shares of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (NYSE: TAK) fell 12% in the last twelve months. Paulson & Co has been holding a stake in Takeda since the first quarter of 2019. It is the sixth-largest stock holding of Paulson’s 13F portfolio, accounting for 6.28% of the portfolio. Despite the sluggish stock performance, the company offers a dividend yield of almost 5%. In addition, it expects revenue to hit $50 billion levels in 2030, up 50% from its 2019 revenue. The company believes its Wave 1 pipeline, which includes 12 new molecules targeted for launch by FY2024, will help in generating the majority of revenues in the years ahead. The company is currently working on an assets divestiture program to streamline its businesses according to future growth strategies. Takeda exceeded its $10 billion non-core asset divestiture target during the first half of 2020. The company plans to use proceeds for debt reduction and investments in growth opportunities.

According to Darius Adamczyk, CEO of Honeywell ( HON ), Honeywell is world renowned for managing highly complex logistics, information technology and operational issues, adding that he is very pleased that Honeywell is leading this coalition of private and public organizations. At a news conference on Jan. 12, Gov. Roy Cooper announced that several mass vaccination sites are being set up across North Carolina to improve the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. Bank of America Stadium and the Charlotte Motor Speedway will serve as initial locations to contribute to this public-private initiative, together with a third, yet to be determined venue. The non-profit healthcare system, Atrium Health will be used to operate the mass vaccination events. ( See HON stock analysis on TipRanks ) Credit Suisse analyst John Walsh reiterated his Buy rating on HON three weeks ago and ramped up his price target from $182 to $225. This implies upside potential of around 8% from current levels. Commenting on Honeywells $1.3 billion deal to buy Sparta Systems, Walsh said that he expects recent software acquisitions to act as digital multipliers across the organization, which softens the headline transaction multiple. Consensus among analysts is a Moderate Buy based on 9 Buys and 7 Holds. The average price target of $212.53 implies moderate update potential of 1.9% to current levels. HON gets a 4 out of 10 on Tipranks Smart Score rating indicating that it is likely to perform in line with market averages.

The most notable of these achievements is the recent price rally of HARD token. On the 3rd of November, Binance began a month-long staking program featuring Hard protocol as part of its ongoing Launchpool initiative to promote new projects. Thispartnershipoffered the Binance community reward earning opportunities in the form of HARD tokens when they stake BUSD, BNB, or KAVA. As expected, this campaign exposed Hard protocol to a slew of new users and, in turn, propped the volume of yield farming activities executed on the platform. At the time of writing, the total asset locked in Hard protocol has risen to $40.5 million, which is remarkable considering that it launched barely 2 months ago. While the Hard protocol as an ecosystem blossomed throughout this staking campaign, the Launchpool cycle had a somewhat curious impact on the price of HARD. The value of the protocol’s governance token underperformed while the campaign lasted. The peculiar case of the non-performance of HARD attracted the attention of pundits in November. One suchanalysisconcluded that the current valuation of the digital asset is yet to reflect the innovative and dynamic design of Hard Protocol. The analysis explored the value of competing money markets, including Aave and Compound, and argued that the absence of restrictive systems in the infrastructural makeup of Hard Protocol promises massive growth potential. This argument stems from the ability of the protocol to enable cross-chain yield farming opportunities for holders of digital assets previously marginalized in the ongoingDeFi narrative. More importantly, these networks, including Ripple, Bitcoin, and Binance Chain, boast some of the largest crypto communities in the world. As such, the growth potential is limitless, especially if it manages to capture a significant share of the $300 billion worth Bitcoin network. CEO Of Kava Lab’s Take on The Value of Hard In line with this projection, Brian Kerr, CEO of Kava, stated in a recentinterviewthat the value of Hard Protocol would eventually reflect in the price of HARD because as the governance token, it is integral to the evolution of the ecosystem as a whole. He explained: “Today, HARD is a governance token granting holders a say in the ongoing maintenance and evolution of the application. This is a right to have say over key parameters like collateral ratios, what assets get money markets, and reward distributions. While the HARD token is a governance token today without any cashflows, we imagine the natural evolution of users will be to increase the fundamental value of HARD as the application grows in usage by attributing some fee back to HARD holders either directly or indirectly via a burning mechanism.” Furthermore, he attributed the underperformance of HARD to the influx in the token supply as a result of the now completed staking campaign. Kerr noted that the price of HARD would rally as soon as the program ends since the circulating supply ofHARDwill normalize, thanks to the protocol’s advanced bitcoin having-like system. Brian Kerr went on to make projections of his own that depict the opportunities available to HARD token holders. The CEO posited that token holders could capitalize on the decentralized governance model of Hard Protocol to create extra earning opportunities: “As a governance token HARD has all the value of the application. HARD voters can vote to add new assets, to collect fees, and ultimately direct those fees back to themselves as a dividend if they wanted it. If HARD can get $1B in borrowing and direct a 1% fee to users, it’s worth $10,000,000 USD. I think with the current landscape of DeFi this is a very reachable number. In fact, HARD can do orders of magnitude better since it can support much more than BTC which alone is a $280 Billion asset.” True to Kerr’s prediction for the short-term performance of HARD, the value of the token had since recorded an uptrend that saw the pricesurgeabove the $1 mark for the first time in over one month. Notably, this price rally, as predicted by Kerr, kicked off on the 3rd of December, the same day the Launchpool cycle came to an end. Subsequently, the value of HARD is up by over 64% in the last 7 days. Hence, it is safe to assume that Brian Kerr’s long-term projections for the price performance of HARD are also plausible given that the token is still very much undervalued when you take into account the potential market size of Hard Protocol. Another factor that could propel the price of HARD is the high tendency of investors to hold on to their Bitcoin stash amid growing expectations for an imminent bull run. According to Kerr, Hard Protocol isperfectly positionedas the only viable means for Bitcoin investors to earn extra yields in the form of HARD tokens while they continue to hodl. The cross-chain functionality of the protocol eliminates all restrictions and provides direct and safe access to the highly coveted DeFi yield farming opportunities. If this proves to be the case, then there is no reason why HARD cannot match and surpass the performance of the likes of AAVE and COMP. However, note that there is no way to correctly analyze the potential of HARD without factoring the role of Kava. Just as the Ethereum community played a major role in the successes of Aave and Compound, KAVA holders have a similar connection with Hard Protocol. If more KAVA is staked on the Hard protocol, then expect the value of HARD to rise. Kava Remains a Hidden Gem Speaking of Kava, the low market visibility of the platform and its governance token make it yet another example of undervalued projects with innovative features. The sheer level of ingenuity that powers Kava puts it side by side with some of the most compelling ecosystems in the crypto space. It is a blockchain network very much like Ethereum with even more advanced architecture that provides users with cross-chain functionality. Its permissioned infrastructure powered by the governance token allows banks and corporations to integrate with DeFi seamlessly while evading recurring issues associated with the permissionless Ethereum network. While this is a given, many continue incorrectly to view Kava as a direct competitor of Maker. This unwanted comparison and the fact that Kava, as a result of its non-Ethereum makeup, is not listed on DeFi Pulse indicate that the project is stilla hidden gem. Nonetheless, there are reasons to believe that this will not be the case for very long as plans for more protocols and dapps to launch on Kava is underway. More importantly, the implementation of the borrowing side of Hard protocol at the end of December promises to position Kava as the go-to network for Bitcoin investors looking to boost their earning power. For now, holding KAVA, due to its undervalued status, seems like a wise investment choice.

What Happened:The drugmakers said in a statement that early-stage vaccine trials indicate a low immune response in older adults — most likely caused by an insufficient concentration of the antigen. The results show that while patients aged 18 to 49 years showed an immune response comparable to patients who recovered from COVID-19, the response was lower in older adults. The vaccine platform uses Sanofi’s recombinant technology and GlaxoSmithKline’s pandemic adjuvant. Roger Connor, president of GlaxoSmithKline said, “The results of the study are not as we hoped. Based on previous experience and other collaborations, we are confident that GSK’s pandemic adjuvant system, when coupled with a COVID-19 antigen, can elicit a robust immune response with an acceptable reactogenicity profile.” Thomas Triomphe, executive vice president of Sanofi said, “No single pharma company can make it alone; the world needs more than one vaccine to fight the pandemic.” Why It Matters:The drugmakers said that their vaccine is now likely to be delayed until the fourth quarter of next year, contingent on the successful completion of its development plan. The companies said it would launch a study in February with the help of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority as a part of Operation Warp Speed which would include a comparison with an authorized COVID-19 vaccine.

Oil prices fell to end the week little changed and the dollar index posted its largest weekly drop in five weeks. Technology stocks weighed the most on the S&P 500, with IBM and Intel posting 10% and 9% declines, respectively, after underwhelming earnings. Energy stocks also fell on Wall Street, alongside the price of crude. With stock valuations nearing levels not seen in two decades, some market participants said new COVID-19 variants and hiccups in vaccine rollouts pose near-term risks for equities. "If we\'re forced to keep the economy closed and it takes longer than we want to get through immunizations and vaccinations for the coronavirus, that\'s going to be a little rougher on the market than people apparently anticipated," said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 179.03 points, or 0.57%, to 30,996.98, the S&P 500 lost 11.6 points, or 0.30%, to 3,841.47 and the Nasdaq Composite added 12.15 points, or 0.09%, to 13,543.06. The three main U.S. indexes closed higher for the week, with the Nasdaq up over 4%. The recent gains have come in hand with expectations for a near $2 trillion stimulus package for the American economy. On Friday, President Joe Biden said the U.S. economic crisis was deepening and that the government needs to take major action now to help struggling Americans. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.57% on Friday after a survey showed economic activity in the euro zone shrank markedly in January, with the services sector weighed by lockdown restrictions to contain the coronavirus pandemic. MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.44%. Emerging market stocks lost 0.94%. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.85% lower, while Nikkei futures lost 0.23%. Story continues The dollar index rose 0.14%, with the euro up 0.03% to $1.2166, while sterling was last trading at $1.3683, down 0.36% on the day. The Japanese yen weakened 0.28% versus the greenback at 103.78 per dollar. Overnight data from Japan showed that factory activity slipped into contraction in January and the services sector was more pessimistic as emergency measures to combat a COVID-19 resurgence hit sentiment. In commodities, oil prices were weighed down by a build-up in U.S. crude inventories and by worries that new pandemic restrictions in China will curb fuel demand in the world\'s biggest oil importer. U.S. crude fell 1.94% to $52.10 per barrel and Brent was at $55.21, down 1.59% on the day. "The pandemic seems to continue to expand into a second wave in China, with infections rising by the day and reaching again different regions such as Shanghai," said Rystad Energy oil markets analyst Louise Dickson.

"If we\'re forced to keep the economy closed and it takes longer than we want to get through immunizations and vaccinations for the coronavirus, that\'s going to be a little rougher on the market than people apparently anticipated," said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 179.03 points, or 0.57%, to 30,996.98, the S&P 500 lost 11.6 points, or 0.30%, to 3,841.47 and the Nasdaq Composite added 12.15 points, or 0.09%, to 13,543.06. The three main U.S. indexes closed higher for the week, with the Nasdaq up over 4%. The recent gains have come in hand with expectations for a near $2 trillion stimulus package for the American economy. On Friday, President Joe Biden said the U.S. economic crisis was deepening and that the government needs to take major action now to help struggling Americans. The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.57% on Friday after a survey showed economic activity in the euro zone shrank markedly in January, with the services sector weighed by lockdown restrictions to contain the coronavirus pandemic. MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.44%. Emerging market stocks lost 0.94%. MSCI\'s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.85% lower, while Nikkei futures lost 0.23%. Story continues The dollar index rose 0.14%, with the euro up 0.03% to $1.2166, while sterling was last trading at $1.3683, down 0.36% on the day. The Japanese yen weakened 0.28% versus the greenback at 103.78 per dollar. Overnight data from Japan showed that factory activity slipped into contraction in January and the services sector was more pessimistic as emergency measures to combat a COVID-19 resurgence hit sentiment. In commodities, oil prices were weighed down by a build-up in U.S. crude inventories and by worries that new pandemic restrictions in China will curb fuel demand in the world\'s biggest oil importer. U.S. crude fell 1.94% to $52.10 per barrel and Brent was at $55.21, down 1.59% on the day. "The pandemic seems to continue to expand into a second wave in China, with infections rising by the day and reaching again different regions such as Shanghai," said Rystad Energy oil markets analyst Louise Dickson. Benchmark 10-year notes last rose 6/32 in price to yield 1.0872%, from 1.107% late on Thursday. Spot gold dropped 0.9% to $1,853.41 an ounce. Silver fell 1.98% to $25.43.

COVID-19 vaccine scams are on the rise, according to European and U.S. government officials who are warning the public of fraudsters out for money and personal data. A Reuters search online, in dark web forums and on messaging app Telegram found seven different offers for alleged COVID-19 vaccines. Related video: Concerns about COVID-19 vaccine scams Scams include emails promising entry to supposedly secret lists for early vaccine access and robocallers impersonating government agencies. Message boards on the so-called dark web have added COVID-19 vaccines to more traditional illicit goods for sale. The U.S. FBI and Interpol, among others, have warned of emerging pandemic-related fraud schemes, saying false cures and vaccines advertised on fake websites could pose cyber threats and a significant risk to peoples' health, or even lives. Website domains containing the word vaccine in combination with COVID-19 or coronavirus more than doubled since October to roughly 2,500 in November, when the first legitimate vaccines were nearing regulatory approval, according to cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, which is tracking COVID-19 fraud online. "So far a lot of these domains just appear to be opportunistic registrations, but some are going to be used for phishing attempts to have people click on (malicious) links," said Lindsay Kaye, director of operational outcomes at Recorded Future. Kaye said her team, which also scours the dark web, so far has not come across any legitimate vaccine diverted from healthcare facilities or national stockpiles. The scams are preying on concerns about the far slower-than-promised rollout of vaccines to protect against the virus that has claimed more than 1.8 million lives worldwide so far. Most people will likely have to wait well into the spring, or even summer, to get their shot. Story continues In the United States, only about 4.5 million people had received their first shot as of Monday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. That is a fraction of the 20 million who were supposed to have been vaccinated by the end of 2020, according to earlier government forecasts. VACCINES, GUNS AND MONEY On dark web forum Agartha, fake COVID-19 vaccines were offered next to cocaine, opioid medication, "super high quality fake money," hand guns and gift cards. Posts showed stock photos of vaccines and offered vials for $500 and $1,000, or the equivalent in Bitcoin. On another dark web site, a seller claiming to be from the "Wuhan Institute of Science" offered COVID-19 vaccines in exchange for a donation, and asked buyers to provide their medical history. On Telegram, several channels claimed to offer COVID-19 vaccines, accompanied by stock images. One user offered supposed Moderna Inc vaccines for $180, and claimed the vaccine from Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE could be had for $150 and AstraZeneca's for $110 per vial. Asked how the vaccines would be shipped, the account creator said they were transported in "regulated temperature packs" and ice packs within a few days, or overnight for an additional charge. Actual COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the Pfizer/BioNTech offering, must be temperature controlled to remain effective, with drugmakers equipping shipments with temperature trackers to ensure the cold chain. Vaccine shipments and distribution are also tightly controlled by officials and will be administered at no cost. The United States has so far authorized two COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use - the ones from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. The European Union to date has authorized the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and is expected to clear the Moderna vaccine this week. The UK has already authorized those two and just added the vaccine developed by Oxford University with AstraZeneca. Asked about vaccine scams, Pfizer said it had taken meticulous steps to reduce the risk of counterfeiting and tracked trends very carefully. "Patients should never try to secure a vaccine online - no legitimate vaccine is sold online - and only get vaccinated at certified vaccination centers or by certified healthcare providers," a Pfizer spokesman said in a statement. Moderna referred a request for comment to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which did not respond. AstraZeneca did not respond to a request for comment. The HHS, FBI and U.S. Department of Justice have urged the public to report any COVID-19 vaccine scams, including people asking for out-of-pocket payments for the vaccine and online vaccine advertisements.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, rallied by 7.02% on Friday. Partially reversing Thursday’s 13.06% tumble, Bitcoin ended the day at $33,058.0. It was a bearish start to the day. Bitcoin slid to an early morning intraday low $28,989.0 before making a move. Coming within range of the first major support level at $28,840, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $33,850.0. While falling short of the first major resistance level at $34,260, Bitcoin broke through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 before wrapping up the day at $33,050 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Crypto.com Coin fell by 0.27% to buck the trend on the day. It was a particularly bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Chainlink surged by 17.19% to lead the way, with Cardano’s ADA (+13.60%), and Ethereum (+11.07%) close behind. Binance Coin (+6.02%) and Litecoin (+6.26%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash SV , (+2.42%), Polkadot (+0.25%) and Ripple’s XRP (+1.80%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $1,080.72bn before sliding to an early Friday low $812.79bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $926.91bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 67.47% before falling to a Friday low 64.63%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 65.20%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.28% to $32,634.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $33,036.0 to a low $32,472.0. While leaving the major support and resistance levels untested, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day.

At the time of writing, Binance Coin was down by 1.47% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $31,966 to bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major resistance level at $34,942 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $33,850.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, first major resistance level and resistance at $35,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,827. Failure to avoid a fall through the $31,966 pivot would bring the first major support level at $30,081 into play. Barring another extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$28,000 levels and the 38.2% FIB of $27,465. The second major support level sits at $27,105.

The startling payments were tallied by the Center for Responsive Politics in a report issued Friday. The Associated Press first revealed some of the payments last week, along with the critical involvement of Trump campaign money and actors in the event that instigated the Capitol riot, which claimed five lives, including that of a U.S. Capitol Police officer. The center warned that the full extent of involvement by the Trump campaign and supporters may never be known because of dark money hidden in shell companies. Eight paid Trump campaign officials were listed on the permit issued by the National Park Service for the rally, according to records. One of them, Maggie Mulvaney \x97 the niece of Trump\x92s former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney \x97 was paid $138,000 by the campaign through Nov. 23, which is the latest date covered by the most recent required campaign finance filings.

Company owners \x97 Justin Caporale, the Trump campaign\x92s advance director, and Tim Unes \x97 were identified on the permit as rally production and stage managers. Event Strategies also received $2.1 million from the Trump-affiliated dark money group America First Policies from 2018 to 2019, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Story continues On Jan. 6, Trump urged his supporters in a speech at the rally to go to the Capitol, and \x93fight\x94 to seize the election . \x93You\x92ll never take back our country with weakness,\x94 he exhorted. \x93You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.\x94 Trump\x92s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said in his rally speech concerning the battle to overturn the election of Joe Biden : \x93 Let\x92s have trial by combat !\x94 Among others listed on the permit for that rally was Megan Powers, who worked as director of operations of the Trump campaign as recently as this month, according to her LinkedIn profile.

The global exchange, licensed in Japan, Europe, and the United States, saw a 3x increase in new account registrations last week, suggesting a rising demand for cryptocurrencies. Additionally, November 2020 saw bitFlyer post its highest volume month of the year, amounting to $77 billion in total trading volume globally, most of which flowed to BTC markets. Also, their BTC/USD market saw its highest volume week in 2020. This spike follows bitFlyer USA's launch of the lowest fee structure in the US market earlier in the month. At the time of writing, bitFlyer currently sits at the top of the Bitcoin trading volume rankings when combining global spot and derivative volume, according to Coinhills. Bitcoin Trading Volume Rankings on December 2, 2020. Source: Coinhills . Commenting on Bitcoin's new ATH, bitFlyer USA COO Joel Edgerton said: "The price rise was affected by several factors. Listed companies such as Square and MicroStrategy are buying Bitcoin to park their cash as a hedge against inflation due to the massive and ongoing global monetary easing as a result of COVID-19. PayPal launched its cryptocurrency services in the US which released significant retail demand. Lastly, there are increasing numbers of institutional clients becoming active in the market." "During the all-time high at the end of 2017, the price of Bitcoin reached over $19,700 led by retail investors in Asia, particularly in Japan. This time around, it is led by the US with a noticeable contribution from institutional investors. Grayscale, the cryptocurrency trust fund provider, is managing an estimated $10.4 billion as of November of this year. Whereas, in 2017 we saw speculative short-term investments, we're now seeing long-term hedge investments similar to gold."

Click to skip ahead our lengthy discussion and seeCathie Wood\'s Top 5 Small-Cap Stock Picks.\n"The year has certainly started off in a wild way." ARK Investment Management\'s CEO, Cathie Wood, said that for this year, she will be focusing on capital gains, tax rates and the corporate tax rates following the sweep of the democrats into both the house and the senate. "I think they will go up and that will not be good," said Wood talking about the taxes in a market update webinar of ARK Invest.\nAs of today, Wood stated that the market seems to be focusing on the odds that America will have at least another trillion dollars of stimulus and that the bull market is already broadening up. "I can say I was wrong about what I believe the impact on the stock market was going to be in the short term," she admitted while saying that they were correct however about their assumptions on the V-shaped recovery that is caused by the wobbles of the resurgence in the coronavirus\' infection and fatality rates. "The bull market is broadening out with cyclicals joining the party and actually, we\'re very gratified to see that," she stated.\nHoroscope/Shutterstock.com\n"We think we\'re in a very strong recovery on balance with the occasional wobble as we negotiate the coronavirus. We think there could be an earnings explosion". Wood marked that they are already noticing the surprises relative to their expectations and she emphasized that these were the \'biggest surprises\' she has ever seen in her entire career.\nJust last year, the S&P 500 delivered $100 in earnings on average, and with the momentum that the market has today, accordingly, it could achieve up to $200 earnings at the end of 2021.\nThe treasury yields in the final week of 2020 were breaking out above 1%, and that represents the 10-year treasury bond yield. "Most bond observers and investors I think, have been surprised at the power of the move through 1%. This seems to be breaking a long-term trend that many thought would not be broken for quite some time," she stated, explaining that this belief is due to the Fed\'s current monetary stance. One of the facts here is that the treasury bond yield is moving very rapidly through a key resistance point from the bond investors\' point of view that kept them wondering what could possibly be the reasons for it. Cathie Wood marked that this unusual move in the capital markets left the people confused because the valuations have gone too far and the long-term interest rates are also moving up which tends to be a dampener on the valuations. "Certainly, 1% does not sound like a high number b Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [18732.12, 17150.62, 17108.40, 17717.41, 18177.48, 19625.84, 18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91, 33992.43, 36824.36, 39371.04, 40797.61, 40254.55, 38356.44, 35566.66, 33922.96, 37316.36, 39187.33, 36825.37, 36178.14, 35791.28, 36630.07, 36069.80, 35547.75, 30825.70, 33005.76, 32067.64] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Partially reversing a 2.81% fall from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 9.97% to $32,320.0. It was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin fell to an early morning low $31,709.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $31,174, Bitcoin rose to a mid-morning intraday high $33,174.0. Bitcoin broke back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $33,289, Bitcoin slid to a late intraday low $31,011.0. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $31,174 before recovering to close out the day in the green. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the latest sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Sunday. Polkadot (-4.65%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors. Ethereum rallied by 12.92% to lead the way. Binance Coin (+2.28%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.59%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.21%), Crypto.com Coin (+1.40%), and Litecoin (+2.43%) also found strong support. Chainlink (+0.01%) and Ripple’s XRP (+0.62%) trailed the front runners on the day. For the week, it was also a mixed week for the majors. Polkadot rallied by 16.97% to lead the way. Chainlink (+6.47%) and Ethereum (+13.09%) also found support to buck the trend in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV slid by 22.52% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-8.64%), Cardano’s ADA (-7.06%), Crypto.com Coin (-7.98%), Litecoin (-1.14%), and Ripple’s XRP (-11.96%) also joined Bitcoin in the red. In the week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Tuesday high $1,080.72bn before sliding to an early Saturday low $812.79bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $971.22bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose to a Monday high 67.47% before falling to a Sunday low 62.84%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.75%. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.29% to $32,736.5. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $32,253.0 before striking a high $32,835.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Polkadot bucked the trend early on, falling by 0.68%. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ethereum was up by 4.02% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $32,168 to bring the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major resistance level at $33,326 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $33,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $33,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $35,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $34,331. Failure to avoid a fall through the $32,168 pivot would bring the first major support level at $31,163 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $30,005.

I haven't seen your Bitcoin vids, so while I understand lines of resistance and ascending and descending triangles, I don't get exactly what a logarithmic regression rainbow is supposed to do or how you mapped the rainbow to the price graph.\n\nHowever, if I may offer my $0.02....\n\nI don't think that it's really possible to assess this bull market accurately, especially ETH. The dollar and most other fiat currencies are expected to lose a significant chunk of purchasing power, and ETH 1 is a notably different beast than ETH 2.0; they will certainly have different fair market valuations, and unless there is a really big problem with ETH 2.0, it can likely command an order of magnitude higher a price than ETH's historical price. Although again, who knows?\n\nEDIT: This is probably also why several of the projections in the previous ETH price prediction link post are flawed. If you are making a price prediction based on the BTC ratio, you are not factoring ETH 2.0's higher functionality. If it can command a higher price, it may also be able to command a higher ratio. [/EDIT]\n\nI think that these reasons and a few others like them mean that if you just draw a shape on a TA price chart, you're almost certainly going to lowball the potential price action and sell too early. Conversely, if you take these factors into account, the margin of error opens up. I'm drawing best guess peak-price figures which range all the way from 7K to over 90K. \n\nAt this point I am comfortable saying I know that I don't know ETH's peak price. Timing is probably a better metric because the peak will probably be between August and November, so if you just DCA out somewhere in that timeframe you will probably outperform someone who aimed for a target price and sold out.", 'l4asmz']]], ['u/AwkwardAarvark', "Is this the last bubble and why I'd rather pay taxes than take loans against BTC", 45, '2021-01-25 00:49', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/l4awqz/is_this_the_last_bubble_and_why_id_rather_pay/', "Not long ago Michael Saylor has started publicly investing in bitcoin; in an interview he referred to the method of taking out loans against BTC rather than selling them. He made the example of wealthy families who have owned land in Manhattan for generations; these families take out loans against the properties. The loans are untaxed and since the price of the properties keep rising, can be paid without losing the properties. Sounds nice. Since his interview (and maybe even before) bitcoiners here and elsewhere have agreed with Saylor to do the same thing with their BTC.\n\nIn my view, that's a bad idea. Here's why.\n\n 1. Counterparty risk. If you deposit your BTC with Celsius or some other lender as collateral, you no longer hold the keys. The lender might get hacked or otherwise go belly-up, and you'll be out of your collateral. Whether this is an acceptable risk is a personal matter.\n\n 2. The strategy is based on the assumption that BTC will keep rising in value. (If BTC does not rise in value, then the loan will come due, with interest, and the collateral may not suffice to cover both, making the loan a very bad investment.). The second risk is thus - what if the 2021 rise is bitcoin's last bubble?\n\nIt think this might be the last bubble. Over a year ago, [someone else made the argument](https://forums.prohashing.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6423) that there is only room for one more bubble. While that post is worth reading, here's why I think there's little room left to grow after this bubble.\n\nLet's assume that the top of the current bull market/bubble is at $150,000. Not unreasonable. That gives a market cap of $2.25 trillion (assuming only 15 million BTC in circulation). That puts BTC at around 20% of the [gold market cap](https://companiesmarketcap.com/gold/marketcap/). That would make bitcoin a major player.\n\nA following bubble (maybe sometime around 2024), which increases the price by, e.g. 10x (i.e. to 1.5 million per BTC) would put us at a whopping $22.5 trillion market cap. That's [two thirds of the S&P 500.](https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_market_cap) It's nearly [half of all the US stock market](https://siblisresearch.com/data/us-stock-market-value/).

None of this means that bitcoin cannot reach such lofty heights, especially in a globalized economy. It's possible, maybe even probable. However, I think it will become increasingly unlikely, and it is certainly not inevitable. Government and institutional resistance is likely to grow exponentially. While governments cannot regulate bitcoin itself, they can regulate bitcoin's interactions with their economies. China, for instance, limits the amount of Remninbi a person can convert to US$ to $50,000. Is it inconceivable that governments will limit the amount of BTC that can be exchanged for fiat, or for goods and services per person? Especially if prompted to do so from powerful lobbying interests?\n\nTime will tell. I could be wrong, which is why I post this here.

Today's Key News: ['LPETTET / Getty Images Everyone needs to invest. In terms of classic pearls of wisdom in the personal finance sphere, “invest your money” is right up there with “have an emergency fund” and “make a budget.” Despite the fact that putting some portion of your savings to work in stock and bond markets is almost universally acknowledged to be sound advice, almost half of Americans aren’t investing. Given how powerful a tool investing can be, that’s downright tragic. See: 26 Smartest Ways To Invest Your Money Right Now Case in point: Imagine that at age 35, your long-lost uncle dies and leaves you $10,000. You’re trying to decide between just parking that money in your savings account — one of the safest options imaginable — and investing money in shares of an S&P 500 exchange-traded fund, an investment designed to match the performance of the index. How would your decision play out after 10, 20 or 30 years? Take a look at the table to see how that $10,000 could grow: What a $10,000 Investment Would Be Worth Over 30 Years Investment Estimated Annual Return After 10 Years After 20 Years After 30 Years Savings Account 0.1% $10,100.45 $10,201.91 $10,304.39 S&P 500 ETF 10% $25,937.42 $67,275 $174,494.02 Whereas the average interest rate paid on a savings account is 0.1%, the average annual return on the S&P 500 has come out to roughly 10% over the years — about 100 times more. That means an average savings account will yield about $100 a decade for every $10,000 while the S&P 500 should more than double the value of your money over the same time period if returns are in line with historical norms. So if you’re among those Americans who still aren’t investing, it’s time to get yourself into the game. Although investing can feel intimidating from the outside looking in, understanding a few basic topics can help you get started even when you don’t have a lot of money to spare. Whether you’re starting with $5 or $5 million, some simple strategies can help keep your risks low and your money growing. Story continues Here’s what this guide to investing your money will cover: What Is Investing and Why Is It Important? What’s Your Investment Strategy? Deciding What To Invest In Investment Accounts Choosing a Broker To Manage Your Investments Common Investing Mistakes What Is Investing and Why Is It Important? On the most basic level, investing is about letting other people use your money. Everyone has to save, be it a rainy day fund or for a major purchase. At the same time, businesses need to spend: on staff, on R&D, on repairs. And most businesses need to spend more than they can get their hands on, even if only temporarily, to keep growing. Investing is the brilliant compromise that makes the money people save temporarily available to businesses that need to borrow. In many cases, you aren’t putting money directly into the hands of a business owner, but almost every transaction involved with investing echoes back to this basic principle at some point — even your savings account. The reason your bank pays interest on your savings account is that it takes a certain percentage of deposits and uses them to make loans, creating profits it shares with you. Not only is your savings account a way to keep your money safe and growing, it’s also playing some role in helping local small businesses get the loans they need. A Guide for Beginners: How To Start Investing Compound Interest Compounding interest refers to the fact that the longer you invest, the faster your money grows. That’s because gains from the money you make from your investments become part of the new basis from which new returns grow. That makes your returns bigger, which makes your investments, and thus your future returns, even bigger. Over time, that can have an exponential effect that’s surprisingly effective. Say you find a high-yield savings account offering a 2% interest rate and park $10,000 there. At the end of the first year, your initial $10,000 will have grown by 2% and you’ll be sitting at $10,200. In that second year, you collect 2% of $10,200, so your interest payment goes from $200 to $204. In year three, you get 2% on $10,404, so you collect $208.08. Over a long enough period, your original $10,000 keeps gathering momentum, like a snowball rolling downhill. Compound Interest Means the Earlier You Invest, the Better You’ll Do Thanks to compound interest, every additional year you leave your savings untouched means an even bigger payout than the year before. Take a hypothetical example of two sisters: Ruth and Erica. Erica had the good sense to take her $10,000 graduation present from grandma, park it in an S&P 500 ETF and then completely forget about it. Ruth, on the other hand, spent grandma’s $10,000 graduation gift on a car, but she started saving 10% of her income a year at age 45 and matched the $10,000 Ruth stashed away each and every year for 20 years. Clearly, Ruth wound up with the larger retirement fund, correct? After all, by age 65, she had invested 20 times as much money as Erica had, and in the exact same investment vehicle. Guess what? Despite failing to save a penny aside from that one investment early on, Erica’s fund is now worth $881,974.85 after compounding at 10% a year for 47 years. Ruth’s fund, despite her investing $200,000 to Erica’s $10,000, is worth $640,024.99. Alas, you can’t travel back in time and invest $10,000 as a teenager, but you can take to heart just how important it is to start investing as soon as possible if you haven’t already. Check Out: 13 Toxic Investments You Should Avoid What’s Your Investment Strategy? Getting the right investment strategy isn’t about having an encyclopedic knowledge of investment products. It’s about what matters the most to you. What are your plans for the future? What are your financial goals? Before you even begin to think about what to invest in, you should have a strong sense of what it is you’re investing for. Here’s what to consider when figuring out your investment strategy: 1. Risk A crucial step in formulating an investing strategy is to figure out what sort of risk profile you want as an investor. Every investment involves risk, and generally speaking, more risk means higher returns and vice versa. In every portfolio, few things matter as much as that dance between risk and return. It’s a careful balance that’s ultimately going to be different for every person. Learn: Ways Investing Will Change in 25 Years 2. Time Frame Another essential factor in developing an investing strategy is when you plan on using your money. Before you can buy a house or start funding your retirement, you’ll need to sell off investments to convert them back into cash. In some cases, selling them at the wrong time can mean you wind up with a lot less. Knowing when you will need to turn your investments into cash, to the degree that’s possible, will help you maximize your earnings. Short Term: Most short-term investments focus on minimizing risk. But the investments that might produce a large gain over a short period of time often have a strong chance of producing a large loss. If you’re going to be cashing out in the near future, you don’t want to be forced to sell at a loss. That’s part of why most financial advisors tell people to begin shifting into more stable investments as they near retirement. Intermediate: With a little more time comes more flexibility to assume risk with less chance of having to sell something before the right time. You might even be able to put a small portion of your money into higher-risk investments because you have a little more time to ride out any ups and downs. But you should start shifting away from that risk the closer you get to needing your money. Long Term: Long-term investing can mean taking on a bit more risk. Because you’re not going to sell any time soon, you can just wait out the ups and downs and stay focused on the trends that play out over years and decades rather than weeks and months. But, once again, keep an eye toward when you will eventually be cashing in so that you can keep shifting into more stable investments over time. Read: Do I Need a Financial Advisor? Deciding What To Invest In Eventually, the rubber meets the road and you have to make some choices about what to invest in. Don’t worry if you find that terrifying. There are a great many investment products built precisely with you in mind, giving you a chance to make simple, easy-to-understand choices without taking unnecessary risks. 1. Stocks Stocks often get the lion’s share of public attention, due in no small part to their volatility. Stocks are among the riskiest investments you can go for, but how much risk you actually take can vary widely depending on your approach. Simply put, a stock is a tiny little piece of a company. The more successful the company, the more valuable its stock becomes. As such, investors buy stocks because they expect to be able to sell them for more later — if they’re particularly good at predicting which companies outpace market expectations, maybe a lot more than they bought it for. That does mean stocks are one the riskiest and most volatile investments. The prospects of a single corporation, even a big one, can be a veritable crapshoot. Even a casual observer of the stock market is probably aware that there’s a crash every decade or two that can send values diving across the board and take years to recover from. Although the short-term perspective on stocks can be chaotic, the long term can be remarkably stable. Whereas the S&P 500 has had individual years where it lost a third of its value, the good years and the bad still average out to a gain of about 10% a year — a return that’s hard to match elsewhere. And it’s also important to remember that there’s a whole range of risk levels when it comes to stocks. Smaller companies, or “penny stocks,” are incredibly risky, but established, “blue-chip” stocks are more stable and less risky by orders of magnitude.

SQ and PayPal Holdings, Inc. PYPL. Monetary policy and inflation are at a historic juncture. Our Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, and his dovish regime have made a groundbreaking promise to let inflation ride past its 2% target level, justifying the action with the low level of 'average inflation' we've seen since the last financial crisis. The average inflation rate since 2009 has been roughly 1.5%, and the Fed is now taking it into their own hands to drive the economy back into growth, sacrificing the 'stable prices' component of its "Dual Mandate," aka keeping inflation at a steady 2%. Now Mrs. Dovish herself, ex-Fed Chair Janet Yellen, is preparing to be sworn in as Treasury Secretary under the impending Biden regime in the next couple of months. Her history of expansionary policy is escalating inflation concerns. It may be time to start thinking about how to protect your portfolio and liquid capital against the deteriorating value implications of inflation. Gold has been one of the primary vehicles of inflation protection since the US went off the gold standard during the Great Depression. Investors & traders have been driving the price of gold up throughout this pandemic. With interest rates plummeting and the Federal Reserve implementing one of its most expansionary policies in history, gold was able to surge to all-time highs past $2,000 an ounce. Rising interest rates this autumn have inhibited the gold boon of 2020, but it looks like that is all turning around as the market prices in the inflationary implications of Janet Yellen as Treasury Secretary. SPDR Gold Trust(GLD) remains up over 20% for the year and looks to be headed higher as additional fiscal stimulus becomes more and more likely with COVID-case counts surging and local authorities shutting down Main Street again. If GLD can break through its 50-day moving average (blue line) at around $176, I think this ETF has a lot more room to run. The massive monetary expansion that the Federal Reserve employed has executives concerned about the value of their liquid capital, with future inflation expected to swell. MicroStrategyCEO Michael Saylor made a savvy business decision when he decided to store his enterprise's liquid capital in Bitcoin. He made this judgment call in the face of ultra-low interest rates that were poised to eat away at MicroStrategy's cash reserve value. Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve are printing money like there is no tomorrow and vowing to let inflation run past its 2% target to make up for the past two decades of below-target inflation. MicroStrategy's management team feels that gold is an antiqued store of value and that Bitcoin's blockchain-driven cryptocurrency is the future of inflation-protected assets. This is a store of value strategy that I expect will be increasingly adapted through the roaring 20s. Now fintech giants likeSquareandPayPalare buying up large sums of the pioneering blockchain currency. PayPal has been purchasing nearly 70% of all newly mined 'virgin Bitcoins' since mid-October and is expected to have over $30M worth of this digital asset by the end of the year. Combined Square and PayPal are purchasing more than 100% of newly issued Bitcoin as they launch their respective cryptocurrency services. As more institutions pile into this next generation currency, the price should continue to drive higher. Below is a list of bitcoin holdings by company holdings provided by BitcoinTreasuries.org. MicroStrategy has given Bitcoin the corporate seal of approval with its $425B investment in August and September, an investment that has returned the company over $300B in just 4 months. This is more income than the business has produced over the last 7 years of operations. MSTR is currently the largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, with nearly 1/3rd of its market value being attributed to its BTC holdings. MicroStrategy is now selling $400 million in debt to buy more BTC. Bitcoin is teetering at its 2017 high and looks like it's preparing to materially break into the $20,000s as the digital currency catches a big bid from institutions. Investing in MicroStrategy is a good, hedged way to get exposure to Bitcoin's resurging price. Check out my recent Bull of The Day piece on MSTR for more color. Inflation is coming, and Jerome Powell is making sure of it, now the question is what assets to use to protect your liquid capital. Bitcoin is a higher risk move but could provide you with strong inflation-protected returns as institutions start moving in on this cryptocurrency. Gold has been the tried and true inflation protector, and I think it is worth holding at least some amid this unprecedented monetary expansionary period.

Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity. A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s.

After surging to a fresh all-time high of almost $42,000 on Friday, Bitcoin prices tumbled more than 25% to $31,000 Monday morning, generating debate over whether the crypto has entered a technical bear market or is just pulling back, even as companies continue to seek approval for a Bitcoin ETF. To be sure, the notorious cryptocurrency has still climbed a tremendous amount from last year, but the steep drop underscores the sharp rise, and how dangerous the volatility is for traders and investors, who collectively lost roughly $200 billion. "It's scary when the price of bitcoin just goes straight up," said James Putra, vice president of product strategy for TradeStation Crypto. "This pullback was needed." The market capitalization or value of the cryptocurrency market was $880 billion on Monday, down from $1.08 trillion a day earlier, according to Coinmarketcap. Just last week a strategist at Bank of America said Bitcoin's explosive rise may be represent the "mother of all bubbles," noting that the recent sharp run-up in the crypto is more significant than other historic manias of the past few decades, such as gold in the 1970s, the dot-com and tech bubble the late 1990s, and the housing boom in the mid-2000s. Despite the steep fall however, analysts feel that it is a "healthy correction" that "was due a long time ago," according to Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade. This could provide an opportunity for Bitcoin permanent-bulls to jump on board, and make a more significant case for a Bitcoin ETF, which would allow for smaller trading sizes. “The correction we saw was expected as we believe the BTC price surge recently from under $20,000 to $40,000 in the past four weeks will induce sell pressure,” said Simons Chen, executive director of investment and trading at cryptocurrency financial services firm Babel Finance. The $40,000 level may have represented a ceiling to be used for profit-taking, Chen said. The famed cryptocurrency first crested the $20,000 level in mid-December and rocketed past $30,000 earlier this month, thanks to coronavirus-induced panic and political and economic uncertainty throughout the globe. Even with the drops over the weekend and Monday, Bitcoin is over 10% higher already in 2021, having spiked about 300% in the past year. Jehan Chu, founder of cryptocurrency-focused venture capital and trading firm Kenetic Capital, said the steep drop in Bitcoin could present a buying opportunity for new investors. “This short term correction is both natural and needed, and is a great entry point for long-term investors as we quickly reach $50k this quarter and $100k by year’s end,” Chu told CNBC.

With more attention on environmental, social, and governance investments, some warn of a potential bubble forming in high-flying socially responsible companies, but ESG investors may not mind. For instance, Tesla is trading at more than 1,000 times trailing earnings, and a fund that tracks the Nasdaq clean energy index trades at 52 times trailing earnings or almost double the overall market's current historically high multiples, reflecting the current euphoria in green energy, Greg Ip writes for the Wall Street Journal . “The bubble in renewables is probably the stupidest that I have seen in my career,” Charles Gave, chairman of money manager and research firm Gavekal, wrote last month. While some bubbles can be destructive, like the one that initiated the financial meltdown of 2008, the bubble in green energy may be socially constructive to ESG investors' goal of doing good. There is little incentive for risky innovation in the private markets since shareholders only capture a portion of the benefits, but the current bubble could provide the needed capital on new ventures to push the green tech envelope, even if the ventures fail. Tesla has benefited from this bubble-like pricing as it has perennially run the risk of running out of funding when transitioning from a niche seller to a mass manufacturer. Green energy may also benefit from its reliance on technology, along with advances in tech that would provide greater efficiencies down the line. “The key technologies of renewable energy systems—solar, wind, and batteries—… follow a learning curve: each doubling of their installed capacity leads to the same decline of costs,” Max Roser, founder of Our World in Data, said in a note, pointing out that between 2009 and 2019, the cost of photovoltaic solar power fell 89%, of onshore wind by 70%, whereas the cost of gas- and coal-generated power, which depend mostly on the price of the fuel, fell by a third and 2%, respectively. Story continues Looking ahead, demand for these ESG companies may not abate as more retail, and institutional investors look into socially responsible investments that track ESG criteria.

Wall Street also provided a lift to sentiment, as stocks rebounded after earnings season got off to a strong start and concerns eased around hedge funds selling long positions to cover shorts.

The gauge is still on track for a 0.4% weekly advance following safety buying at the start of the week amid concerns that President Joe Biden\'s fiscal spending package will not be as large as the proposed $1.9 trillion. However, many analysts expect the dollar to return to the downward trend that saw it lose nearly 7% of its value last year, particularly with the Federal Reserve committed to ultra-easy monetary policy. "Wide expectations of that huge issuance that\'s coming and the support of the Fed mean that we\'re looking in the medium-term for further U.S. dollar weakness," said Michael McCarthy, chief strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney. "The flipside of the reversal in risk appetite is we\'re seeing good support for commodity currencies," like the Australian dollar, he added.

Partially reversing a 6.45% slide from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $33,373.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $29,918.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $28,938, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $33,800.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $32,251 and the 38.2% FIB of $33,008. Falling short of the second major resistance level at $34,080, Bitcoin eased back to end the day at sub-$33,500 levels. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Polkadot fell by 0.58% to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day the rest of the majors, however. Cardano’s ADA and Chainlink rallied by 10.70% and by 9.82% to lead the way. Ethereum (+7.46%) and Litecoin (+8.89%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+4.16%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.49%), Crypto.com Coin (+6.38%), and Ripple’s XRP (+5.63%) trailed the front runners. In the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Monday high $1,038.16bn before falling to a Wednesday low $847.51bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $990.18bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.54% to a Monday high 64.32%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.02%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.82% to $33,979.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $33,337.0 to a high $34,300.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the morning. Polkadot was down by 0.86% to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Litecoin was up by 3.08% to lead the way. Story continues For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the pivot level at $32,364 to bring the first major resistance level at $34,809 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $34,300.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $35,000 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,246. Failure to avoid a fall through the 23.6% FIB and the $32,364 pivot would bring the first major support level at $30,927 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $28,482.

The ETP will go live on Jan. 19 and will be listed under the ticker BITC. Bitcoin ETPs provide exposure to bitcoin in a regulated asset class. In contrast to the U.S., where regulators have been loathe to sign off on bitcoin ETF applications, there are already several entities offering crypto-backed products across Europe. The product’s assets will be custodied by Komainu, a venture that launched about a year ago involving Nomura Holdings, CoinShares and Ledger. BITC will charge a 0.98% expense ratio and will be physically backed by bitcoin. Just last week, digital asset-backed securities developer ETC Group announced it would list a physically backed bitcoin ETP on SIX. ETC Group was the 34th ETP provider on the exchange, making CoinShares the 35th.

Reasons should be obvious to anyone looking around. Most of the world spent the last year under house arrest and we learned just how willing people are to accept Orwellian takeover of all areas of our lives. The mixed economy is revealing itself more than ever to be what Steve Patterson called today "the extended State," censoring information, canceling accounts, de-personing people, all in all serving the ends of totalitarianism around the world. Scary times, so I think one is being irresponsible in not reducing their risk surface here.\n\nThe three forks of Bitcoin (BCH, BSV and BTC) make up a large portion of the strategy in achieving that goal, so obviously being able to pay with them without converting to fiat on an exchange (an attack surface) is very important.\n\nFor any kind of commerce, 9/10 I use BCH and my [Bitcoin.com](https://Bitcoin.com) wallet. It\'s awesome. You use it once and you realise big-block Bitcoin is the best payments tool ever created. BSV works great too but it doesn\'t have anywhere near the adoption that BCH has in payments and Craig\'s shenanigans make it increasingly unlikely companies are going to integrate it because who wants to deal with people like that?\n\nToday\n\nToday I had to pay with BTC. I don\'t do it too often but in this particular case there was a giftcard I needed to buy that was only available on BitRefill as far as I could tell. I paid for the $400 card + a $17.50 fee, waited an hour then drove a half hour to the store. I was in the store for another hour but when it came time to pay the transaction still hadn\'t confirmed.\n\nI waited another half hour and meanwhile I\'m on Twitter reading idiots in the Bitcoin Mini space talking about how everyone needs to buy Bitcoin (BTC) to escape companies like Robinhood censoring your economic activity and you just can\'t help but scream inside a bit because BTC literally cannot handle many more people trying to join to escape this BS. I paid roughly a 5% fee on my transaction and still can\'t buy anything at the store after several hours. It gets much, much worse from here. You\'d see confirmations taking weeks and weeks, or months, if all the economic activity around GameStop lately tried to join BTC to escape economic censorship.\n\nAnd of course the added irony is that it is 100% censorable. It\'s not just that everyone is going to have to use custodial payment options, or that fees are going to be so high only banks and Michael Saylor (who has probably never used Bitcoin) will use the chain, it\'s also that the wait period for confirmations will have a similar chilling effect that economic censorship has.\n\nI waited...and waited...but I was on a pretty tight schedule so I decided to just pay with credit card like all the Bitcoin Minimalists tell you to. I drove home and in total it\'s been nearly six hours and there\'s still no confirmation.\n\nSure, sure I could have a "lower time preference..." like the Minimalists say, and I\'m all about that, but in this case the purchase was time sensitive! Dead economic time like that really costs a lot of money and it can do a lot of other personal damage. Couldn\'t wait.\n\nConclusion\n\nSo now I\'ve got $400 on my credit card and a $400 gift card (plus fees) I have no use for that I still can\'t spend, and I\'m lucky I can afford it but keep in mind a few things:\n\n\\- The fee alone can buy people several meals in countries that need it most.\n\n\\- Most people today would just have to wait until the transaction finally did confirm because it would be too expensive to eat the cost twice by paying with a credit card after the fact. Economic activity slows accordingly.\n\n\\- Slow confirmation times are an attack opportunity for state actors. Not everyone has the luxury of having a low time preference.\n\nThey say Bitcoin isn\'t for buying coffee but if it\'s not for $400 payments either then what good is it? Interbank transfers?\n\nThis is not the revolution that got many of us so excited years ago.\n\nI said "one of my goals for 2021 is to reduce my exposure to fiat and traditional banking as much as possible," and I know I\'m not alone in this goal, but that is impossible to achieve on BTC because it has been artificially rate limited by dummies, trolls and saboteurs. Minis pushing that dream are living in a fantasy. It\'s never going to happen.\n\nLiving off of Bitcoin and the damage Core did\n\nBig-block Bitcoin is the obvious choice, but right now we\'re stuck with the unfortunate reality that BTC is the market leader and both BCH and BSV, and just about everything else, have lost significant value vs BTC, and best money needs to not only be good for payments but also storing value against other assets.\n\nIt\'s just a sad fact that it\'s hard to fully live off BCH if it\'s not yet a good store of value. But from my own experience today it\'s clearly impossible to live off BTC now. I make quite a few transactions everyday and I can\'t wait 5+ hours every time. Forget about the fees.\n\nSo looking at it all in whole, you can begin to see the damage that was really done. Bitcoin was split into a mainstream version that is entirely useless as a payments tool but has the network effect and branding that gives it the kind of price appreciation that attracts more people, and a less mainstream version that is amazing for payments but struggles against a 1000 alt coins for network and market share which makes it less useful and less threatening.\n\nHard to believe that wasn\'t intentional.....\n\nNow more than ever people are looking for ways to opt out of the current system, but we just aren\'t there yet. We would be if BTC had just raised the blocksize years ago. We\'d have a true digital store of value that was incredible for moving any amount of money around the world at fast speeds and low costs.

Following on from a 9.70% rally on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,253.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to a late morning intraday low $31,987.0 before making a move. While steering clear of the first major support level at $30,927, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Finding late morning support, Bitcoin rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $38,710.7 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $34,809 and the second major resistance level at $36,246. More significantly, Bitcoin also broke back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. The reversal, however, saw Bitcoin slide back through the major resistance levels to revisit sub-$34,000 levels. Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB, Bitcoin moved back through to $34,000 levels to deliver the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Chainlink (-1.37%) and Polkadot (-2.97%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP rallied by 6.89% to lead the pack Ethereum (+3.47%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.65%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.47%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+0.41%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.60%), and Litecoin (+0.88%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Wednesday low $847.51bn before rising to a Friday high $1,136.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $997.86bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.54% to a Friday high 65.93%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.21%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.69% to $34,490.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $34,244.7 before striking a high $34,900.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV and Ripple’s XRP were up by 1.12% and by 0.52% to join Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 4.09% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $34,984 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,980 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $38,710.7 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $41,707. Failure to move through the $34,984 pivot would bring 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [18803.00, 19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91, 33992.43, 36824.36, 39371.04, 40797.61, 40254.55, 38356.44, 35566.66, 33922.96, 37316.36, 39187.33, 36825.37, 36178.14, 35791.28, 36630.07, 36069.80, 35547.75, 30825.70, 33005.76, 32067.64, 32289.38, 32366.39, 32569.85, 30432.55, 33466.10, 34316.39] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Ether, which is the second-biggest digital asset by market value after bitcoin, has nearly doubled just in January alone.

Market moves Bitcoin is coming off its worst week in almost five months, but the main takeaway, according to veteran digital-market traders and analysts, is that it wasn’t really all that bad. Related: Market Wrap: Bitcoin Hits $34.8K While Ether Volatility Skyrockets A quick glance at price charts shows that declines at least as large as last week’s 9.9% retreat have happened nine times in the past two years. And the cryptocurrency’s price has risen so dramatically and consistently over the period that those prior corrections almost look quaint. The worst sell-off in recent memory was the 33.5% weekly plunge in March 2020, when the devastating economic toll of the coronavirus became clear to global investors. But in absolute dollar terms, that $2,690 drop was less than last week’s $3,950 loss, showing just how far bitcoin’s price has climbed since then. Story continues According to Kraken, the cryptocurrency exchange, buyers appeared to materialize last week whenever prices fell to about $30,000. That’s just above the $29,112 level where bitcoin started off the year, following a 2020 when it quadrupled in price. “While 10%+ drawdowns shake conviction, these moves have been met with strong bids,” Delphi Digital, a cryptocurrency analysis firm, told clients Friday in a note. “Shaking out profit takers and ‘weak hands’ is necessary for BTC to make strides upwards.” According to Chainalysis, a blockchain-analysis firm, bitcoin’s recent rally to new record highs above $40,000 may have been too much to resist for speculators who have only recently nosed into the cryptocurrency arena, lured by the outsize returns of recent years. “New buyer behavior is still a major source of medium-term price volatility and is currently elevated,” Philip Gradwell, chief economist for New York-based Chainalysis, wrote Friday. “It is important to restate that the bitcoin price is still at historically very high levels.” Ryan Selkis, CEO of the digital-markets analysis firm Messari, wrote that last week’s tumble “looked like a nice little dip for new buyers, and a wealth transfer from some of the weakest-handed sellers I’ve seen in crypto to those with an actual investment thesis.” Data extracted from the bitcoin blockchain network show the number of addresses with at least 1,000 or more bitcoins increased last week – an indication that large institutional buyers may have been stepping into the market as prices dipped, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shen reported Friday . “The buying pressure seen in the lower bounds of the current range have been solid,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading at the cryptocurrency exchange firm EQUOS, told clients early Monday in a note. “The selling pressure above is in no way weaker. If bulls manage to break out, though, the move to the next level ($34,855) could be explosive and even take us further, back to the upper $38Ks.” The upshot? Further downside might still be in store, but the limited scope of last week’s price decline reveals plenty of demand for bitcoin at levels well above prices that prevailed in 2020. – Bradley Keoun Bitcoin watch The bitcoin market is showing signs of weakening demand from U.S.-based institutions, according to Singapore-based trading firm QCP Capital. Comparing bitcoin’s price moves during Asia daytime hours and American hours (split into 12 hours each) shows a clear pattern of relentless buying during the North American trading hours and selling in Asia, mainly by large investors (known as whales) and cryptocurrency miners. The pattern emerged following the March 2020 price crash and had endured until two weeks ago when bitcoin reached record highs above $41,900. Since then, the strength during U.S. hours has lost momentum, QCP Capital noted in its Telegram channel. The flat-to-negative “Coinbase Premium” – the spread between Coinbase’s BTC/USD pair and Binance’s BTC/USDT pair, which includes the stablecoin tether – also suggests absence of strong demand from high-net-worth individuals and institutions. “I’ll keep my bearish bias until there are significant Coinbase premium and Coinbase outflow,” Ki Young Ju, CEO of blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant, tweeted on Sunday. “BTC needs [U.S. dollar] spot inflows from institutional investors to start the next bull run.” As such, odds appear stacked against the cryptocurrency keeping gains above $33,000. “We could be in for a classic ‘W’ bottom when the first bounce off the lows is met by another batch of selling before it eventually bounces back for real,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer of the Paris-based quantitative trading firm ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk in a WhatsApp chat. – Omkar Godbole Token watch Ether ( ETH ): Three reasons to be bullish include next month’s CME futures launch, the planned transition to 2.0 “staking network” and possible token burns via the EIP 1559 update ( CoinDesk ) Chainlink ( LINK ): Data-oracle token hits new all-time high price above $25 ( CoinDesk ) What’s hot Key executive at Huobi crypto exchange said to be taken into custody by Chinese police in investigation related to over-the-counter trading service.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin , BTC to USD, rose by 0.17% on Saturday. Following on from a 2.63% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,341.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $34,929.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $37,980, Bitcoin fell to an early morning intraday low $32,827.0. While steering clear of the first major support level at $31,256, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Finding support through the rest of the day, Bitcoin broke back through the 23.6% FIB to revisit $34,800 levels before easing back. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Saturday. Crypto.com Coin (-6.77%), Litecoin (-0.94%), and Polkadot (-1.59%) saw red to buck the trend. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP surged by 56.84% to lead the day. Binance Coin (+4.64%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.95%), and Chainlink (+3.91%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.57%) trailed the front runners, with Ethereum ending the day flat. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Wednesday low $847.51bn before rising to a Friday high $1,136.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $1,005.74bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from a Monday low 62.54% to a Friday high 65.93%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.40%. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.24% to $34,260.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $34,407.0 before falling to a low $34,091.0 Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+0.18%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.57%), Chainlink (+0.84%), and Polkadot (+0.23%) found early support. Story continues It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 2.70% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the pivot level at $34,032 to bring the first major resistance level at $35,238 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $34,929.0. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $35,500 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $37,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $36,134. Failure to avoid a fall through the $34,032 pivot would bring the first major support level at $33,136 and the 23.6% FIB of $33,008 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$32,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $31,930.

For have you been watching the Gold/Silver ratio of late? We have as it has its own dedicated cell on our key screen of live data. Which is why for the first time “in forever” we of a sudden sat bolt upright this past Thursday in taking notice of said ratio being sub-70x! “Is it live? Or is it Memorex?”, (i.e. on tape from nearly four years ago). For that was the last instance of the Gold/Silver ratio being below 70x: 17 April, 2017 at 69.9x. Fast forward that tape to today and the ratio is now 68.4x. The millennium-to-date average of the Gold/Silver ratio is 66.2x such that ’tis fair to say these two precious metals are well within a standard deviation of having returned to being on “par” with one another. (For those of your caring to include a full generation prior, said average ratio as dated from 1975 is 59.7x). Either way, here’s the daily graphic across these past twenty years (plus one month) of the Gold/Silver ratio with its average as having evolved throughout: Indeed peeking back to The Gold Update of 04 April 2020 (“Gold Losing A Gear As Markets Are Losing their Fear”), we therein penned: “…the Gold/Silver ratio … [is] a staggeringly high 113.5x, nearly double the millennium-to-date average…” On that date, the price of Silver was 14.53: today at 27.06 ’tis +86.3% since then; (Gold across the same time frame is but a comparable +12.2%). Hence the race back to a more realistic reading. And clearly ’tis not because of any fallout in Gold. Rather, ’tis due to Silver finally garnering long-overdue committed notice by getting much more of a bid than has Gold in recent months. Even for just this brief year so far, Gold is -2.7% — in last place by the BEGOS Market Standings — but Silver in second place is +2.0%. Here’s the table with 2021’s first trading month officially in the books: Story continues ‘Course Oil +7.7% is the big winner thus far in 2021, clearly being cushioned by the nixing of new StateSide energy facilities, (the void of which hardly shall be filled by substantive “green” sources perhaps for decades). But again as to Sweet Sister Silver’s outlook for the balance of this year: should the Gold/Silver ratio of, let’s say 70x, be maintained and Gold touch our forecast high of 2401 , that mathematically would see Silver at 34.30 … “Got Silver?” As for the present we’ve got Gold by its weekly bars from a year ago-to-date, price’s churning nonetheless keeping the relatively fresh parabolic Long trend intact, its fourth blue dot appearing as shown. But priced at 1850 with the “flip to Short” price at 1779, such distance of 71 points is basically the same of that portrayed a week ago, which given the present “expected weekly trading range” of 70 points still finds this Long trend technically subject to Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [19201.09, 19445.40, 18699.77, 19154.23, 19345.12, 19191.63, 18321.14, 18553.92, 18264.99, 18058.90, 18803.66, 19142.38, 19246.64, 19417.08, 21310.60, 22805.16, 23137.96, 23869.83, 23477.29, 22803.08, 23783.03, 23241.35, 23735.95, 24664.79, 26437.04, 26272.29, 27084.81, 27362.44, 28840.95, 29001.72, 29374.15, 32127.27, 32782.02, 31971.91, 33992.43, 36824.36, 39371.04, 40797.61, 40254.55, 38356.44, 35566.66, 33922.96, 37316.36, 39187.33, 36825.37, 36178.14, 35791.28, 36630.07, 36069.80, 35547.75, 30825.70, 33005.76, 32067.64, 32289.38, 32366.39, 32569.85, 30432.55, 33466.10, 34316.39, 34269.52] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

But despite the COVID -related global financial downturn, one sector has bucked the trend and is projected to climb even higher this year. People know it as the cryptocurrency sector, led by Bitcoin. If you have money to spare and youre willing to try a high-yield but high-risk investment, you might want to look at cryptocurrencies . But before you do, you must be warned that these digital assets are highly volatile and there are equal chances of earning big or going bust. Take for instance the meteoric rise of the price of Bitcoin , which reached almost $20,000 at the end of 2017 only to plummet to about $3,500 in November 2018. With that in mind, it is important to educate yourself about crypto investing and minimize mistakes to get ahead in the market. Cryptocurrency Investment Mistakes To Avoid Investing Without Knowing Whether its cryptocurrency or any other asset, the first thing to remember in investing is to educate yourself and understand what youre getting yourself into. Before you even invest a single cent, you need to allocate some time in learning about the basics of crypto investing. Crypto investment remains unpredictable and risky and if you dont know what youre doing, you can end up losing money. Below are some of the basic things you need to know about crypto money: It's completely digital and therefore it is not physically represented like metallic coins or paper money. In fact, cryptocurrencies exist only in the digital world or in computers. It's universal. You can use digital money across different countries and borders. If you have Bitcoin , for example, you can pay a seller in Australia or Morocco whos also using it. You don't have to think about exchanging it for local currency such as Australian Dollar or Moroccan Dirham. It's peer to peer. A crypto transaction only occurs online. So, you can only transfer digital money to another person virtually. It's decentralized. You have the sole responsibility of keeping track of your own crypto money. There are no central banks and financial institutions that govern or protect cryptocurrencies and the investments therein. It's encrypted. The reason why it's called crypto is that it is hidden. Users are given long strings of alpha-numeric codes and are not even required to use their real names or addresses to open a crypto investment. Story continues So, if you invest in this type of asset, you should know that you are responsible for your own money. If you encounter problems with your investment, you cant get assistance from your Central Bank, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a Depository Insurance Company because crypto is completely decentralized and unregulated. Thinking Cryptocurrency Is Foolproof Encrypted does not mean secure. If theres one mistake that newbie investors in crypto markets make, its thinking that the encrypted nature of a digital currency is enough to make it secure. Encryption makes it confidential, but it doesn't mean cryptocurrencies can't be hacked or stolen. As mentioned above, this type of asset is decentralized, so keeping your digital money safe will be your sole responsibility. Here are some tips that can keep your investment protected: Don't share your keys with anyone. Since cryptocurrency is represented by codes or keys, you need to make sure to keep the codes to yourself. If you need to write it down, keep it inside a vault or a safety deposit box. If you must keep it in a document or text file, be sure that your computer is secure. Once somebody gets your keys, they can use it without your knowledge. Don't leave your crypto coins in exchanges for long periods, no matter how popular the exchange is. Although crypto exchanges have security measures in place, they have been a favourite target for many hackers. Thus, you don't want to just simply leave your digital assets in an exchange for a long time and then pray that it won't be hacked. Store your crypto coins in a digital wallet. Choose one that offers features and protocols that will best suit your needs and budget. But don't focus only on the features, you also need to check out the credibility, performance, and reputation of the company. It is important to choose a wallet from a company that you can trust. Not Paying Attention To The Math When investing in anything, keep your eyes on the prize. With Bitcoins projected rise in 2021 , you need to focus on the profit potential. But how will you know that you are indeed making a profit if you don't pay attention to the numbers? For example, you need to look at transaction fees. Since cryptocurrencies can be very volatile, it is not surprising to see multiple price changes within a day or even an hour. If you want to take advantage of these changes, you must consider transaction fees because it could take out a significant portion of your gains. Another thing to remember is taxes. In Canada and the U.S., you need to pay capital gains per transaction. So, if you trade excessively, your profits might turn into losses just because you failed to include fees and taxes into your computations. Making Crypto Investment Decisions Based on Emotions HODL, FOMO, and FUD are just some of the acronyms you will encounter in crypto investing. Each of these represents some kind of strategy but are emotion-driven at the same time, which should not drive your investment decisions. HODL means to hold on to your investment no matter how volatile the market is. This is okay. But sometimes, you just don't have time to wait for a good return on your investment. When that happens, cutting off your losses is a better choice. FOMO or Fear of Missing Out means buying on the hype because you just want to follow the trend. This is the most dangerous one because you would be susceptible to fly-by-night schemes or scams. Lastly, FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. FUD may prevent you from investing in crypto even if the research stats or market sentiments are telling you that its a good time to invest. Investing in Just One Crypto Bitcoin is the holy grail of cryptocurrencies. While its having a bull run right now, it can still plummet and trigger huge losses at any given period. Therefore, it is best to diversify your digital assets. Many other cryptocurrencies can offer you good returns like Ethereum and Altcoin. Dont put all your money in just one crypto. Much like the old adage in investing, dont put all your eggs in one basket. Conclusion In a survey conducted by Deutsche Bank , 41% of investors believe that the price of Bitcoin will be between $20,000 and $49,999 in 2021, up from almost $10,000 in January of 2020. When Bitcoin rises, other altcoins usually follow the trend. This means that cryptocurrencies, in general, are expected to perform well this year. But just like any other type of commodity or asset, investing in cryptocurrencies can end in huge losses if you dont know what youre doing. The highly volatile market can give you huge profit opportunities, but it comes at a price. You need to learn about the right way to invest in crypto assets.

Sources tell Deadline that following a competitive situation, MGM has acquired the book proposal The Antisocial Network from New York Times best-selling author Ben Mezrich , which tells one of the biggest news stories of the year, about a ragtag group of amateur investors, gamers, and internet trolls who brought Wall Street to its knees. Even though the story is barely a week old, insiders say Mezrich and his reps took the proposal on the market at the end of the week and by Friday night MGM had moved fast to acquire the rights. The project brings MGM’s Michael DeLuca back together with Mezrich, author of The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, a Tale Of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal, which was adapted into the Academy Award-winning The Social Network that DeLuca produced.

That caused GameStop’s market value to increase rise over 1,700% since December. Between Tuesday and Wednesday, the market value rose over $10 billion. The fun didn’t stop there as more newcomers to the stock game began looking at other stocks deemed obsolete or super low like Nokia and AMC to try and do the same resulting a major controversy when the trading app RobinHood began putting restrictions on certain stocks. Story continues Its unknown where Mezrich’s story starts and stops but its certainly a story as timely as you can get and clearly something Hollywood was happy to sink its teeth in so soon. Academy Award-nominee Aaron Ryder of Ryder Picture Company (RPC), who recently signed a first look film deal with MGM, will produce.

It’s exciting but pay attention to these more important factors. Is the above really the key thing that’s happening in the markets right now? No, it’s only the most interesting thing. I admit, what we’re seeing on the Internet right now is truly absorbing, but one should realize that it’s what used to happen multiple times in history. This time it’s simply more visible as the conversations and associated images are publicly available and widely distributed. In yesterday’s intraday Alert , I commented on the issue of the likely implications of these cumulative purchases on the precious metals market as a whole and what difference they are likely to make over the course of the following months and weeks – next to none. Well, there is one effect that I’m expecting to see. It’s the increased volatility during the following price declines – likely proportionate to what was so vigorously bought in the last few days. Figure 1 – GameStop Corporation (GME) – NYSE The above GameStop chart shows a near-vertical rally, and it also shows the spike in volume. The purchasing power seems to have dried up and the price – as expected – fell. Those, who bought at $300, were already at a 33% loss as of yesterday’s close. The various forums (other forums joined in, it’s not just Reddit anymore) are filled with messages and images encouraging to “hold”. But sooner or later people will realize that without fresh buyers the price is going to fall, and one by one, they are likely to panic and sell – especially knowing that they won’t be “punished” by the “forum community” in any way, as it’s not known to the forum participants who is selling and when. The topic of silver manipulation , paper silver andpaper goldreally is older than 20 years, and it’s been mostly the same argument over all those years. The price managed to rally from below $5 to about $50 – if there was a massive long-term manipulation, then it wasn’t particularly effective. If it didn’t prevent silver from rallying so far, then why would it prevent silver from rallying from below $20 to $200? Anyway, this topic is too broad to be fully discussed, even in a lengthy Alert – the point that I want to make here is that nothing new happened in the silver market – it just got more spotlight. So, what’s more important and timelier than the above topics, even though it doesn’t get as much attention – and can herald a decline in the precious metals? Figure 2 –S&P 500(ES.F) First, the almost-confirmed medium-term breakdown in stocks! On Wednesday, the S&P 500 futures moved visibly below the rising support line and closed below it for the first time. Despite yesterday’s strength, stocks were unable to rally back above it and so far, today, stocks are moving lower. If the S&P 500 futures close today below this line, the breakdown will be confirmed by both: three consecutive daily closes and a weekly close. This will be a bearish sign for the short term. If stocks slide further shortly, it will be particularly bearish for silver and mining stocks, which means that those who bought yesterday based on forum messages etc. would be likely to find themselves at a loss relatively soon. This, in turn, means that the decline could be quite volatile. Second, there is also another market that could ignite the powerful decline in the PMs and miners – the rallying USD Index. Figure 3 – USD Index (DX.F) Despite the intraday decline, the USDX is once again close to its 2021 highs. The USD Index is testing its previous 2020 highs, and it might (!) be forming the right shoulder of a short-term head-and-shoulders pattern. The key word here is “might”. If the USDX rallies above its previous highs (about ~91), this pattern will be invalidated and the short-term outlook for the USDX will be clearly bullish. This would also serve as a breakout above the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern (mid-Dec. low being the left shoulder, the early 2021 low being the head, and the recent low being the right shoulder), which would have even more bullish implications (with the price target above 92). Would this be enough for gold to decline to $1,700? It might not be enough, but it might be enough for the miners to move to my above-mentioned initial downside targets ($31 and $42.5 for GDX and GDXJ, respectively). So, the bearish storm seems to be brewing. How are the precious metals responding? Let’s take a look at gold. Figure 4 – COMEX Gold Futures (GC.F) Gold shrugged off yesterday’s “exciting news” coming from the internet’s forums. It rallied initially, almost touched its declining resistance line, and then reversed, thus erasing the previous gains. It’s now trading pretty much at the same levels where it was trading two days ago. The outlook remains bearish and yesterday’s reversal actually makes it even stronger. Figure 5 – COMEX Silver Futures (SI.F) Silver is visibly stronger than it was a few days ago, but if the precious metals sector is about to head lower (especially given the breakdown in stocks) this would be normal even without the entire “let’s buy silver” forum theme. And miners? Figure 6 – VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) Miners invalidated the breakdown below the neck level of the head and shoulders pattern. Invalidations of these breakouts tend to be “buy” signals. BUT yesterday’s session has “this time really was different”written all over it. Part of the purchase encouragements on forums were for mining stocks. While silver has indeed rallied yesterday (and so did AG, which was particularly promoted), the GDX ETF moved higher only somewhat. It still closed more or less at its mid-January low and it didn’t manage to erase Tuesday’s decline. Overall, I think that the proper context is the relative weakness of miners and not the direct implications of the technical invalidation. Moreover, please note that if the symmetry in terms of shape between both green boxes on the above chart is to be upheld, then it shouldn’t be surprising to see a quick volatile upswing that’s very short. In fact, since the volatility now is smaller than it was in late April 2020, what we saw yesterday might have already been the analogy to what had happened back then. All in all, the outlook for the precious metals market remains bearish for the following weeks, regardless of what the next few days will bring. Also… Do you remember about bitcoin? Some time ago, I wrote that the bitcoin situation made the overall situation in currencies similar to late 2017 / early 2018. Figure 7 – Bitcoin Vault (BTC.V) Just as we saw back then,bitcoinsoared while the USD Index plunged. Then both markets reversed . Figure 8 That was also the time when precious metals and miners (and stocks) topped. So, what’s new? We just saw another clear confirmation that this is the very final inning of the rally. You probably heard that in the final part of a bull market, everything that’s in it soars. If it’s a gold bull market, then even stocks that have “gold” in their name will likely rally even though they might have nothing to do with the precious metals market. People don’t care to check, and emotions are too high to bother checking what they are actually buying. Well, there’s a cryptocurrency that started as a joke, but then became a relatively big market. Dogecoin . The reason why I’m mentioning it is that dogecoin just soared… Figure 9 And it had previously soared in this way in early 2018, a few weeks after bitcoin topped. This is exactly what one would expect to see at a market top, based on common sense (analogy to buying just about anything close to the top), but the fact that we already saw pretty much the same thing in bitcoin, dogecoin, and the USD Index at the top 3 years ago should be flashing a big red light even for the most bearish of USD bears and most bullish crypto bulls. Remember, early 2018 was also the moment when the stock market and PMs topped. The above indications are on top of myriads of other factors pointing to lower precious metals and mining stock prices – this is all much more important than forum posts – even very convincing ones. Please note that today’s volatility is somewhat expected – it’s Friday (options expire) and it’s also the final session of the month. Quite many people and entities might want to push prices and indices in their favor, so that options expire on their preferred side of their options’ strike prices. So, whatever happens today might easily be erased in early February. Thank you for reading our free analysis today.

Today's Key News: ['Zurich - 2 February 2021 - 21Shares AG , the pioneering issuer of crypto Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) is launching the world’s first Polkadot ETP (ADOT SW - CH0593331561 - PDOT) "DOT ETP" on the regulated segment of the Swiss stock exchange (SIX Exchange) on Thursday February 4th, 2021 . Last Friday, Polkadot was admitted by the Index Provider to the 21Shares HODL basket ETP as second-largest constituent after Bitcoin (BCH being removed) and as such, makes it is the perfect timing to add an additional single asset ETP to the already wide range of crypto ETPs 21Shares offers. “We remain committed to the unprecedented demand we are seeing from institutional investors wanting exposure to crypto-assets and 21Shares remains ahead of the curve for delivering innovative yet simple financial products on the market. Our expertise and experience reflect the clear advantage we have over other market participants” Hany Rashwan, CEO 21Shares AG , says. “After investors purchase their first Bitcoins through our ETPs, there is a natural transition to invest in other crypto assets. We have consistently delivered a range of products over the last two years demonstrating our stronghold in the D-A-CH region. European investors are approaching us to launch new products based on other key crypto assets to enable them easy access without the need for a private key or unregulated wallets and exchanges. We benefit from trusted partners for the liquidity provision and upon continued institutional demand, we are launching the DOT ETP to give investors a safe, regulated, and easy way to obtain exposure to this exciting new blockchain technology. In the next 3 months, we aim to add 2 to 3 more innovative ETPs as well as new European exchange listings. No other issuer in this industry enjoys such a wide range of crypto ETPs and on so many European exchanges’ regulated segments.” Polkadot serves as a blockchain of blockchains, allowing otherwise independent blockchains to communicate with each other, share security features, and transfer assets freely amongst themselves. The DOT token is the native token of the Polkadot network. It serves a couple of vital roles in the system: It is designed to participate in governance decisions, including tabling proposals and voting. In addition, it is used as an electronic payment system. With its market capitalization currently standing at over $16.8 billion, the DOT token now surpasses that of XRP by over $4 billion and has attained the status of the third-largest cryptocurrency. Though the popularity of the DOT token has increased substantially over the past months, it is still not easy for non-technical users to buy and hold and interact with it. The DOT ETP lowers the barriers to entry for newcomers to the crypto asset industry and allows a much wider audience to be able to participate in its development. Story continues The launch comes in light of the recent surge in interest for this asset class. 21Shares AG has seen a 5-fold increase in demand across its suite of crypto ETPs since Q3 2020. This is based on the amount of new inflows into the ETPs. That demand came mainly from institutional investors who have preferred an institutional-grade ETP versus other structures currently available on the market. The DOT ETP will allow clients to invest, diversify through its various ETPs, and gain exposure to the multi-chain application environment that enables cross-chain interoperability on a level previously not possible via their traditional broker or bank. The ETP structure means that the product benefits from 100% physical collateralization. Each share is fully collateralized by the corresponding amount of physical DOT tokens. In addition, on exchange liquidity provision is assured by our existing ETP market markets who have supported us since inception back in November 2018. This allows even more conservative institutions to safely hold this asset class via an Exchange Traded Product.

After the recent market correction, prices for the cryptocurrency are still up 18% year to date, versus a 1.2% gain for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks. “Now is probably not the time to panic,” Matt Blom, head of sales and trading at the cryptocurrency exchange firm Diginex, wrote in a daily newsletter. Intraditional markets, European shares fluctuated and U.S. stock futures were little changed as the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday prepared to vote on asecond impeachment of President Donald Trump. Gold strengthened 0.1% to $1,855 an ounce. Related:Bitcoin Miners, Developers Narrow Down How Taproot Will Be Activated Asbitcoinandetherretreat from recent highs, the strong performance of other cryptocurrencies shows that traders and investors may now be turning to alternative tokens, often referred to as “altcoins,” for returns. Bitcoin prices as of Jan. 11 stood at about 87% of their all-time high reached last week, and ether is about 78% of the way toward its all-time high from a few years ago, based on data compiled by CoinDesk Research. But other cryptocurrencies and digital assets, such asstellar(XLM) andlitecoin(LTC), are still far from setting new records. One takeaway might be that they might have further to run, CoinDesk’s Muyao Shenreported Tuesday. Altcoins are surging “in ways that we have not really seen since 2017,” Andrew Tu, an executive at quant firm Efficient Frontier, told Shen. Related:Market Wrap: Bitcoin Claws Back to $36.4K While 25% of Ether Options Will Expire in March It’s possible, of course, that some entry-level investors viewing bitcoin’s $34,000-ish price – what a small sport-utility vehicle costs – are unaware that the largest cryptocurrency can be bought in minute fractions, similar to the way that it’s possible to buy $100 or $1,000 of gold. Such confusion in the past has led some newbie investors to turn to altcoins, because their prices are often comparatively lower, sometimes counted in cents. David Derhy, an analyst at the trading platform eToro, wrote earlier this week that some traders might shift toward ether, the base cryptocurrency for the Ethereum blockchain. “Investors in bitcoin may be looking to take some profits and reallocate, and ether could be a target,” he wrote. “A target of $2,500 is reasonable given the gains we have already seen and current price momentum.” Such a level would represent a gain of nearly 150% from the current price. Simplex, a digital-asset platform, has been seeing “increasing demand for cryptos across the board,” though “retail investors seem to be looking for the next BTC,” CEO Nimrod Lehavi, wrote in a Google doc, sent by a spokesman via Zoom’s chat function. “We are used to seeing BTC dominate around 90% of the total volumes of trade,” says Jonathan Leong, CEO ofBTSE, another crypto platform. “But the recent week or so has seen a rise in our institutional clientele’s demand and interest in altcoins, with the balance being almost 50-50 at certain times.” Bitpanda, an Austrian cryptocurrency platform, has seen bitcoin drop to between 30% and 40% of customer purchases this year, from 40% to 50% last year, according to a spokeswoman. “We have a big influx of users, and they are trading both bitcoin and altcoins,” the spokeswoman, Sara Moric, said in an email. – Muyao Shen and Bradley Keoun Read More:Multiple Tokens See Rally Amid Looming ‘Alt Season’ The near-term outlook for bitcoin has dimmed, analysts say, with some now seeing a possible extension of Monday’s major price drop. “There could be another dump as outflows from the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Pro have dried up alongside an increased transfer of coins onto exchanges,” David Lifchitz, chief investment officer for Paris-based quantitative trading firm ExoAlpha, told CoinDesk. Outflows from Coinbase Pro –considered a proxyfor purchases of the cryptocurrency by big institutional investors, since the outflows are typically seen as transfers into cold storage for long-term holding – have receded sharply from the three-year high of 55,000 BTC observed Jan. 2. The decrease could signal a weakening in institutional demand, which played a pivotal role in pushing bitcoin last week to a new all-time high above $41,000, from about $10,000 just a few months ago. Meanwhile, exchange deposits have gathered pace, a sign that some investors may be looking to liquidate holdings and take profits. The number of coins held on exchanges increased by over 57,000 BTC on Tuesday, the biggest single-day change since March 2020, according to data from blockchain analytics firmChainalysis. Exchanges have registered an average inflow of 103,000 BTC per day in the past seven days – higher than the 180-day average of 83,700 BTC. Some analysts looking for clues in price-chart patterns are also calling for an extension of Monday’s drop. The Ichimoku cloud, a technical-analysis tool created by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda in the late 1960s, includes multiple lines that help identify support and resistance levels and other essential information such as trend direction and momentum.“ “I still see pressure on the downside in the short term,” said Patrick Heusser, head of trading at Swiss firm Crypto Finance AG, adding that $29,000 could be the make-or-break level. “Things could get ugly if that support is breached,” Heusser said. A price of $36,000 is the level to beat for the bulls. Chris Thomas, head of digital assets at Swissquote Bank, sees a period of price consolidation over the rest of this week, in the $33,000–$36,000 range. – Omkar Godbole Read More:Analysts Are Gloomy About Bitcoin’s Short-Term Price Outlook Right Now European Central Bank’s Lagarde calls bitcoin “speculative asset,” hopes for digital euro in no more than five years (CoinDesk) “Could the OCC even grant a national bank charter to open-source software that manages deposit-taking, lending, or payments, if it doesn’t have officers or directors?” writes Acting U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks in an op-ed. “Not yet.

I am telling you what NOT to buy. Show this to your friends who want to "get rich overnight." \n\nThere are quite a few users who have spilt over in to our subreddit from wallstreetbets and the dogecoin sub and god knows where else. After seeing this not only happen with a coin that was designed as a MEME and nothing more and then happening with XRP, I feel like there is an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed. \n\n[please read this thread](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kp6s43/inside_a_pumpanddump_group_the_deception_the_con/) on how a pump and dump group operates. If you don\'t have time, the TL;DR is - they buy tokens / coins anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours before the head of the group tells everyone to pump a coin. Then they dump their coins without telling you. They claim you get "insider" information if you give them 0.01 BTC or invite 30 people to the group. \n\n#Pay attention to these fundamentals: \n1. It doesn\'t actually matter if there is a cryptocurrency that is more efficient, more secure, faster, or better in general because.... \n2. You will not see people who mined bitcoin for nearly free in 2010, or bought it at 10 cents each, 1 dollar each, 10 dollars each, 100 dollars each, or 1000 dollars each dumping at 34,000 USD for a token that almost no one has heard of. Even if such a thing existed, you couldn\'t get everyone to agree on when / how to dump their bitcoin for "something better", this was tried with bitcoin cash and the market has spoken. \n3. Financial institutions aren\'t interested in anything except bitcoin right now (and are much less interested in something the SEC has legal issues with) because it functions as a hedge against inflation and it has verifiable scarcity. \n4. You need to pay attention to market capitalization (market cap for short) of a cryptocurrency. Go to coingecko.com. Check out the market cap of your "coin" and then compare it to bitcoin\'s marketcap. In order for it to surpass ethereum it needs to get 130 billion USD of fresh capital quickly. If it wants to get past bitcoin, it needs to get at least 600 billion USD of new capital. with that in mind... \n5. If your token is under 50 cents but it\'s in the top 100, do the math and figure out how / what it would need to get "past bitcoin". Just because it\'s "cheaper than bitcoin" doesn\'t mean everyone wants to buy it. \n\nHopefully this thread has been helpful. That is all. Thank you for reading.

The market could be strong, but fragile.”\nThe aforementioned dynamics of dealers’ risk exposure to direction and volatility causes violent crash dynamics to transpire.\nIn February 2020, one-sidedness in the market by yield-seeking participants like target date funds — such as mutual funds — selling far out-of-the money puts on the S&P 500 exacerbated volatility. So did customers looking to buy puts in an increasing fashion for downside exposure.\n“We’re in there buying puts, dealers are short puts and short stock,” Sidial said in a discussion on rising delta and volatility forcing dealers to sell into weakness to hedge.\n“As people reach for those downside puts on SPX, it now reflexively has another implication on increasing volatility. Well, all those people that are carrying short volatility exposure in their book are losing money.”\nIn all, a new regime with knock-on effects is forming solely due to positioning in the market.\nSource:Benzinga\nPictured: Newfound Researchunpacksmarket drivers, implications of liquidity.\nSee more from Benzinga\n• Click here for options trades from Benzinga\n• Metromile Taps Uber Veteran Ryan Graves For M, Guidance On Innovation\n• Fintech Focus For February 2, 2021\n© 2021 Benzinga.com.

Story continues While we aren’t going 100% usage-based overnight, looking at some of the megatrends in software — automation, AI and APIs — the value of a product normally doesn’t scale with more logins. Usage-based pricing will be the key to successful monetization in the future. Source: TechCrunch Interesting Reads: Acorns CEO talking micro- investing . AOC talks Capitol raid, eyes change.

Market Moving Headline: The dynamics that transpired in GameStop can be traced back to factors like Federal Reserve stabilization efforts and low rates, which incentivize risk taking. “The growth of structured products, passive investing, the regulatory standpoint that’s been implemented with Dodd-Frank and dealers needing to hedge off their risk more frequently than not” are all part of a regime change that’s affected the stability of markets, said Kris Sidial, co-chief investment officer of The Ambrus Group. “These dislocations happen quite frequently in small windows, and it offers the potential for large outlier events,” like the equity bust and boom of 2020, he said. “Strength and fragility are two completely different components. The market could be strong, but fragile.” The aforementioned dynamics of dealers’ risk exposure to direction and volatility causes violent crash dynamics to transpire. In February 2020, one-sidedness in the market by yield-seeking participants like target date funds — such as mutual funds — selling far out-of-the money puts on the S&P 500 exacerbated volatility. So did customers looking to buy puts in an increasing fashion for downside exposure. “We’re in there buying puts, dealers are short puts and short stock,” Sidial said in a discussion on rising delta and volatility forcing dealers to sell into weakness to hedge. “As people reach for those downside puts on SPX, it now reflexively has another implication on increasing volatility. Well, all those people that are carrying short volatility exposure in their book are losing money.” In all, a new regime with knock-on effects is forming solely due to positioning in the market.

So I am sitting here eating mi-goreng and thinking of how to end the misery that is XRP and Ripple.\n\nWhat is XRP?\n\n* XRP is not Ripple. XRP is a token, while Ripple is the company that develops solutions using XRP. XRP is used to transfer money over the Ripple network, either between individuals or banks.\n* Not all partners announced by Ripple use the XRP token. Only a few of the 300+ announced partners use XRP! [In fact, only 12 institutions are using or testing ](https://decrypt.co/5313/complete-ripple-partnerships-xrapid-xrp)Ripple products using XRP.\n* Unlike BTC, XRP token are not mined. Ripple has minted the entire supply of the token when the network was launched.\n* Ripple intermittently releases portions of the supply from escrow and sell on exchanges.\n\nWhy now?\n\n* Brad and his brokeback mountain cowboys have been illegally raising funds by releasing XRP from escrow (there is still 48B XRP in escrow ready to be dumped) since 2013. The SEC knows this and has been building a case against Ripple and its executives for years.\n* The Ripple leadership team DGAF about XRP holders. The SEC has evidence that multiple Ripple execs have instructed market makers to dump tokens to coincide with news releases. [Check out their shady shit here.](https://www.ft.com/content/25648f67-36bb-45f1-8e37-3dabd4c68e89)\n* Don’t listen to XRP moonbois saying that XRP is already treated as a currency by FinCen and DOJ. The SEC is responsible for regulating the securities markets and protecting investors. Once the SEC proves that XRP is a security, watch both the DOJ and FinCen flip their stance and pursue criminal charges. [Check out how the SEC will prove that XRP is a security by using the Howey test.](https://dailyhodl.com/2020/06/17/xrp-fails-howey-test-and-is-not-a-security-says-former-cftc-chairman-christopher-giancarlo/)\n* Don’t trust some random Redditor? Trust the SEC. The SEC rarely loses in court. And never one involving cryptocurrency security tokens.\n * Remember Enigma? The team settled with the SEC and are now a rank \\~150 coin (as Secret Token).\n * Remember Kin? The KIK team decided to fight the SEC and lost.\n * Both coins were in the [top 100](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180513/) and never recovered and are now barely hanging on.\n\nConclusion\n\n🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 See you on the moon with XRPDOWN.

Let me clarify one thing for you:\n\nCoins are digital assets that run on their own native Blockchain. Examples of this are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano and Polkadot.\n\nTokens are digital assets that are built on top of a Blockchain. For example, LINK is an ERC-20 token build on top off Ethereum.\n\nShares represent an ownership of a company. If Apple has 100 shares, and you own 1 share of those 100, you own 1% of Apple which makes you entitled to 1% of their Intellectual Property, Cash Reserves, Real Estate, etc.\n\nIf you have a partial ownership of Apple, you have shares. If you have 200 LINK, then you simply have 200 tokens of LINK (a.k.a Stinkies) which does not entitle you to Chainlink\'s profit nor Sergey\'s burger trips.\n\nI also hope if you are new that you are playing with.. well, play money.

The British pound held steady against the dollar and traded near an eight-month high versus the euro ahead of a Bank of England policy meeting that will publish findings on the feasibility of negative interest rates. Sentiment for the dollar has improved recently as progress in coronavirus vaccinations, moves by U.S. President Joe Biden to pass more fiscal stimulus, and improving economic data forced some bearish investors to give up their short positions. The dollar faces another test on Friday with the release of non-farm payrolls data, which will help confirm whether the world\'s largest economy has shrugged off a dip in growth toward the end of last year. "The dollar\'s recovery was triggered by a rebound in yields and an increase in inflation expectations," said Junichi Ishikawa, senior foreign exchange strategist at IG Securities. "This is supporting the dollar, which now has more room to rise against the euro, because the euro zone looks like it is lagging behind U.S. economic growth."

Following on from a 9.70% rally on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $34,253.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to a late morning intraday low $31,987.0 before making a move. While steering clear of the first major support level at $30,927, Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. Finding late morning support, Bitcoin rallied to an early afternoon intraday high $38,710.7 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $34,809 and the second major resistance level at $36,246. More significantly, Bitcoin also broke back through the 23.6% FIB of $33,008. The reversal, however, saw Bitcoin slide back through the major resistance levels to revisit sub-$34,000 levels. Steering clear of the 23.6% FIB, Bitcoin moved back through to $34,000 levels to deliver the upside on the day. The near-term bullish trend remained intact, in spite of the recent sell-off. For the bears, Bitcoin would need to slide through the 62% FIB of $18,504 to form a near-term bearish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Friday. Chainlink (-1.37%) and Polkadot (-2.97%) saw red to buck the trend on the day. It was a bullish day the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP rallied by 6.89% to lead the pack Ethereum (+3.47%), Crypto.com Coin (+3.65%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.47%) also found strong support. Binance Coin (+0.41%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.60%), and Litecoin (+0.88%) trailed the front runners, however. In the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Wednesday low $847.51bn before rising to a Friday high $1,136.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $997.86bn.

Bitcoin Cash SV and Ripple’s XRP were up by 1.12% and by 0.52% to join Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish start for the rest of the majors, however. At the time of writing, Crypto.com Coin was down by 4.09% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through the pivot level at $34,984 to bring the first major resistance level at $37,980 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $37,000 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $38,710.7 would likely cap any upside. In the event of an extended crypto rally, Bitcoin could test resistance at $40,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $41,707. Failure to move through the $34,984 pivot would bring 23.6% FIB of $33,008 and the first major support level at $31,256 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$30,000 levels. The second major support level sits at $28,260.
