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 top cryptocurrency, bitcoin (BTC), was still below the crucial $20,000 support.\n• Volatile market conditions and BTC’s minor price upticks gave way to certain altcoin recoveries.\n• ETH, SOL, LTC, and ETC could be some altcoins to watch over the coming week closely.\nWhile the globalcryptomarket cap was still below the $1 trillion mark, there was some optimism in the market in the early trading hours of the Asian session on 20 June.

Bitcoin’s price fell to the lowest price level since December 2020.\nAt press time, BTC traded at $20,379, noting a 9.81% rise in the 24-hour window.

Lehmann notes that the company has raised a $23 million Series A from a16z with Marc Andreessen himself joining the startup's board. Other backers in the round include Sam Altman, Naval Ravikant, Andy McLoughlin, Jeff Clavier and Dan Romero, among others. The startup is keeping things as vague as possible on its website and job listings with redacted graphics promising "consumer finance solutions for a changing web" and that they're "building protocols and infrastructure," doing something "at the intersection of fiat and crypto." It's all publicly unclear, but investors seem eager to throw some money behind Lehmann after Postmates' $2.65 billion exit to Uber in mid-2020. This round's announcement comes at a rough time for the broader crypto markets after this past week's crash, which was brutal even by crypto standards. That hit is leaving plenty of venture firms in a tough spot and likely questioning their commitment to the sector. This lack of volume, specifically from growth firms, could make scaling a crypto business more difficult in the coming years if the sector is indeed on the cusp of a "crypto winter." For repeat founders like Lehmann and ex-Meta executive David Marcus who also announced venture backing for his new crypto startup yesterday, these issues will obviously be less pronounced.

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:** ['Key Insights: It was a mixed start to the week, with bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) seeing modest losses, while Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) continued the move northwards. With the US markets closed, the NASDAQ 100 Mini provided direction, though headwinds left investors cautious ahead of central bank chatter in the week. The total market cap ended the day with a modest $4.37 billion gain as the broader crypto market consolidated Sunday’s breakout session. It was a choppy session for the crypto market on Monday. Bitcoin ( BTC ) followed Sunday’s rally with a visit to $21,000 before a late pullback. With the US markets closed, the NASDAQ 100 Mini provided support on the day, though the upside was modest following last week’s sell-off. On Monday, the NASDAQ 100 Mini ended the day up 110 points. Headwinds continued to pressure the broader market, reflected in a modest gain in the total crypto market cap. With the US markets reopening later today, investors will be eyeing the NASDAQ, with market risk sentiment likely to influence in the afternoon session. Central bank chatter will also provide direction ahead of Fed Chair Powell testimony scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Inflation will likely remain a hot topic, with Powell likely to come under fire in the wake of last week’s FOMC projections. A late rise in crude oil prices on Monday tested support for bitcoin and the broader crypto market. WTI Crude increased by 0.65%, the inverse correlation with bitcoin reflected in the chart below. Rising crude oil prices deliver upward pressure on inflation, which has knock-on effects on central bank monetary policy and economic growth prospects. NASDAQ BTC WTI 210622 Daily Chart Crypto Market Cap Falls by a Modest $4bn after a Late Pullback The crypto market looked to consolidate Sunday’s breakout session. Recovering from a low of $847.6 billion, the total market cap rose to a day high of $900.99 billion before falling to $885 billion. The key was avoiding a reversal of Sunday’s $62.6 billion rise and a fall to a new current-year low. Story continues Following last week’s $173 billion loss, however, the risk of a return to sub-$800 billion remains. Total Market Cap 210622 Daily Chart Looking at the top ten, SOL rallied by 3.13%, with ADA (+1.45%) and BNB (+0.70%) also finding support. DOGE (-0.77%) and XRP (-0.63%) and saw red, however, with BTC (-0.01%) and ETH (-0.01%) ending the day flat. From the CoinMarketCap top 100, Synthetix ( SNX ) led the way, surging by 60%. The upside came from investor reaction to Atomic Swap volumes on 1inch and Curver Finance protocols. Following their inclusion, a surge in Atomic Swap trading volumes has drawn investor interest. The fees stemming from trading volumes have also given SNX stakers solid yields. On the stablecoin front, USDD movements were market negative, with TRON DAO Reserve failing to restore the peg. USDD 7-Day Chart 210622 The USDD found support to hit $0.96 before easing back. Failure to return to $1.00 pegged TRON ( TRX ) back again, with TRX ending the day with a 0.34% loss. TRON DAO Reserve figures continued to ease concerns of a USDD collapse. At the time of writing, the collateral ratio stood at 324.05%. USDD Collateral Ratio 210622 Total Crypto Liquidations Eased Back Following Fed Policy Decision The downward trend in total crypto liquidations continued on Monday.

Four-hour and one-hour liquidations reflected improving market conditions. According to Coinglass , one-hour liquidations stood at $4.94 million, with four-hour liquidations at $18.72 million.

Daily Context for Date: 2022-06-21 **Financial & Commodity Data:** - Gold Closing Price: $1834.60 - Crude Oil Closing Price: $110.65 **Bitcoin Market & On-Chain Metrics:** - Market Capitalization: $403,301,624,594 - Hash Rate: 225808603.1296844 - Transaction Count: 254438.0 - Unique Addresses: 647716.0 **Social & AI Sentiment:** - Fear & Greed Index: 0.09 **Other Textual Data:** - Daily Tweets (Sample): N/A - Contextual Past News Article: Key Insights: BTC’s price has established the $30,000 mark as support again. The global cryptocurrency market cap is back above the $1.3 trillion mark. Altcoins like XRP, SOL, XMR, and MKR could be some tokens to watch out for this week. The last week brought bearish waves for the larger crypto market, as the king coin’s price slid by almost 30% in the previous ten days to visit the near $25,000 zone for the first time since late 2020. The BTC -induced losses and the fall of Terra’s LUNA and UST pulled the global crypto market cap down to $1.29 trillion at the time of writing. However, towards the end of last week, bitcoin’s price started to recover from the $26,000 mark making its way above the $30,000 zone. As BTC trades just under the $30,000 psychological barrier, the current market sentiment remains in ‘extreme fear.’ That said, traditional assets were down too, S&P 500 was down 17% this year, and the Nasdaq was off 27% since January. These losses present the pain for the many investors who took bigger gambles on risky assets. Notably, more than $500 billion evaporated from the cryptocurrency market over the last week as the market cap slipped to a low of $1.2 trillion. Data from the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index (BGCI) suggested that cryptocurrencies delivered negative returns of about 33.9% over the last month. Nonetheless, at press time, with bitcoin price’s short-term recovery above the $28,500 resistance, most altcoins traded in green, as highlighted in FXEmpire Weekend Wrap. So, as a short-term recovery takes off, let us look at some of the top coins to watch closely over the coming week. Bitcoin (BTC) On May 12, the Bitcoin market sold off to $25,400 and within 6% of the realized price ($23,960), as highlighted by Glassnode data. The realized price represents the average cost basis of all BTC and was last visited, only briefly, in March 2020. The realized price has historically been strong support for bitcoin, and a rebound from the same could lead to short-term gains. However, analysts believe that the price isn’t expected to see parabolic gains soon. Story continues Bitcoin’s price fell to as low as $25,800 over the last week, but pressure from bulls ensured a short-term recovery back to the sub-$29,000 zone. At the time of writing, the top cryptocurrency traded at $30,910, noting a 4.77% price rise over the last day. BTC’s recovery above the $28,200 support on May 13 pushed the top asset towards higher highs in the following couple of days. If bulls can ride out the sell-side pressure in the coming days and BTC’s price can settle above the $32,500 mark, the same can provide positive market momentum. XRP XRP rallied by close to 9% on Friday, recovering from a 7.44% loss the altcoin recorded on Thursday. After crossing the $0.380 mark, the altcoin saw considerable upside, which came amidst Friday’s SEC v Ripple court date, as reported by FXEmpire earlier. While long-term key technical indicators for XRP continued to remain bearish, at the time of writing, XRP’s price rallied on the back of BTC’s freshly gained momentum. Additionally, the progress in the SEC vs Ripple case has fueled a bullish sentiment among XRP investors. At press time, XRP traded at $0.4409, noting 4.20% daily gains, however, the altcoin was still down by 23.27% on the weekly charts. XRP’s recovery above the $0.45 mark can further aid bullish momentum. In the short term, if bulls can push prices above the $0.48 mark, prices can see upside. However, volatility would continue to rule the market. Solana (SOL) Amid the larger market bounce, Solana gained over 18% in market value in the last 24 hours and traded at $58.68. SOL experienced a brutal crash as its price hit a low of $37 on May 12. Over the last four days, SOL’s price has made higher lows presenting a bullish trajectory; however, trade volumes maintained low as investors remained cautious. The altcoin’s recovery above the $44 mark aided the positive price momentum. Going forward, a recovery above the $62 mark would be key to SOL’s price recovery. The sudden in buying pressure helped SOL regain the psychological $50 level as support. Buying pressure from bulls as the market embarks on a short-term recovery could push the token higher as technical indicators turn bullish. Monero (XMR) Privacy tokens have often turned bullish in response to larger market sell-offs. Monero, at press time, traded at $171.28 noting 11.25% daily gains, however, it was still down by 21.33% on the weekly chart. XMR has held the psychological support at $145, which aided the coin’s rise over the last couple of days. While RSI for XMR had recovered from the oversold zone and highlighted that buyers were gaining momentum. Even though RSI’s uptrend reinforced positive market momentum, sellers still dominated buyers. In the short term, a recovery above the $200 resistance would be crucial for XMR. If the market turns bearish again, XMR could fall back to the $145 zone. Maker (MKR) Defi token MKR was one of the top performing altcoins last week, as highlighted in a FXEmpire article . Amid high sell pressure in the larger market Maker Protocol’s MKR token recovered from the last week’s losses as the price pushed above the $1500 mark. At press time, MKR traded at $1,550.23, noting 0.65% daily losses. MKR had reversed the losses made in the first week of May. With MKR’s recovery above the $1500 mark, sell-side pressure could ease in, giving way to short-term losses. In the short term, if bulls can push MKR’s price above the $1650 level, the same could aid MKR’s positive price momentum. However, a bearish downturn could push the price back to the lower $1400 support.

Solana (SOL) extended its winning streak to five days, its best run since March. The total market cap rose by $8.8 billion, another relatively modest rise. For June, the total market cap remains down by $405 billion. It was another choppy session for the crypto market on Tuesday. Bitcoin ( BTC ) took a run at $22,000 before easing back. The pullback saw bitcoin end the day at $20,699. A sharp pickup in risk appetite across the global financial markets delivered support to the crypto market. With the US markets reopened after Monday’s holiday, the NASDAQ 100 rallied by 2.51%. While weaker than in previous weeks, a correlation between bitcoin and the NASDAQ was evident, with a late decline in the NASDAQ pulling back the broader crypto market. An upward swing in crude oil prices tested support for the NASDAQ and the crypto majors late in the session.

However, downside risks remain, with central bank monetary policy, the threat of a recession, and a likely shift in the regulatory landscape the key considerations near term.

However, it was a bullish session for the remainder, with DOGE rallying by 9.50% to lead the way. BNB (+1.66%), BTC (+0.71%), SOL (+3.30%), and XRP (+1.44%) also found support. From the CoinMarketCap top 100, Shiba Inu ( SHIB ) and Waves ( WAVES ) led the way, surging by 31.20% and 43.04%, respectively. On the stablecoin front, USDD movements were market positive. While TRON DAO Reserve failed to restore the peg, USDD returned to $0.97, easing market fear of another stablecoin collapse. USDD 7-Day Chart 220622 The return to $0.97 levels delivered TRON ( TRX ) support, with TRX ending the day up 6.18%. TRON DAO Reserve collateral figures continued to ease concerns of a USDD collapse.

Elon Musk has been a long-standing supporter of Dogecoin (DOGE), with the man behind Tesla Inc. and SpaceX frequently turning toTwitterin support of the meme coin. The support has been so significant that Tesla Inc. and SpaceX accept DOGE for merchandise payments. Elon Musk’s tweets and commentary have delivered frequent DOGE price moves. Gains in response have been short-lived, however, with the crypto winter pegging DOGE back from any sustainable breakouts. On Thursday, an investor decided it was time for the courts to end the alleged Musk influence. Overnight, Bloombergreporteda lawsuit against Elon Musk, Tesla Inc., and SpaceX. According to the report, Keith Johnson filed a claim alleging he was defrauded out of money by the defendants, calling the meme coin a “Dogecoin Crypto Pyramid Scheme.” The report went on to say that Johnson claimed, “Defendants falsely and deceptively claim that Dogecoin is a legitimate investment when it has no value at all.” Johnson looks to represent DOGE investors “who have lost money trading in DOGE since April 2019.” The claim asks for a whopping $258 billion in damages in addition to an order preventing Musk, SpaceX, and Tesla Inc. from promoting Dogecoin. Elon Musk is not the only supporter. Snoop Dogg, Kevin Jonas, Jake Paul, Gene Simmons, and Mark Cuban could also become investor targets. Just last month, MuskannouncedSpaceX plans to accept DOGE as payment for merchandise. On May 27, the meme coin rallied by 4.63%, while the broader crypto market saw losses. Since the May 27 tweet, DOGE was down 31% versus a bitcoin (BTC) fall of 28%. The SpaceX announcement followed the news of Elon Musk planning to buy Twitter, whichdroveDOGE into the crypto top ten. The influence of Musk and Twitter chatter is evident, as shown below. At the time of writing, DOGE was down by 0.54% to $0.0548. A move through the $0.0576pivotwould target the First Major Resistance Level at $0.0603. DOGE would need the broader crypto market to support a return to $0.060. An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.0654 and resistance at $0.070. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.0732. Failure to move through the pivot would test the First Major Support Level at $0.0525. Barring another extended sell-off, DOGE should steer clear of the Second Major Support Level at $0.0498. Looking at theEMAsand the 4-hourly candlestick chart (below), it is a bearish signal. This morning, DOGE sat below the 50-day EMA at $0.0635. The 50-day pulled back from the 100-day EMA, with the 100-day EMA falling back from the 200-day EMA: price negative. A return to $0.060 would support a run at the 50-day EMA to then bring $0.070 levels into play. The 100-day EMA currently sits at $0.0704.

Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) joined bitcoin (BTC) in deep the red. Solana saw a five-day winning streak come to an end. The total market cap reversed gains from Monday and Tuesday, with a $33 billion fall to end the day at $862 billion. It was yet another choppy session for the crypto market on Wednesday. Recession fears plagued bitcoin ( BTC ) and the broader crypto market. Apprehension ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s testimony on Capitol Hill added to the market angst. The NASDAQ Mini 100, WTI crude oil, and the crypto market were in the red going into the afternoon session. Market sensitivity to Fed Chair Powell’s testimony was evident, not only across the global equity markets, but also across the crypto market. However, after tracking the NASDAQ 100 through the early part of the Powell testimony, a decoupling was evident later. On Wednesday, the NASDAQ 100 slipped by 0.15%, while bitcoin slid by 3.6%. WTI crude slid by 4.03% to $106.19, with the reversal more aligned with the crypto market and reflective of investor jitters over the risk of a US recession. NASDAQ BTC WTI 230622 5 Minute Chart Today, the second day of Fed Chair Powell’s testimony on Capitol Hill will draw interest along with key stats from the US. Economic data from the US include prelim June private sector PMIs and the weekly jobless claims. The numbers will need to be upbeat to support the Fed Chair’s view on labor market conditions and the economy. Crypto Market Cap Hits Reverse as Powell Talks Recession A bearish crypto session saw the total crypto market cap fall to a day low of $852 billion before a partial recovery to end the day at $861.5 billion. On Wednesday, $33 billion came off the table as investors responded to Fed Chair Powell’s testimony. Total Market Cap 230622 Daily Chart The pullback reversed modest gains from earlier in the week, with the market cap now down $19 billion for the week and $431 billion for June. Story continues Any market hope of Powell removing downside risks vanished on Wednesday. Initially, the market responded positively to early comments before hitting reverse. In line with market expectations, Fed Chair Powell discussed the need to continue hiking rates to bring inflation back to target. According to FX Empire , Powell noted , “We anticipate that ongoing rate increases will be appropriate; the pace of those changes will continue to depend on the incoming data and the evolving outlook for the economy.” For riskier assets, Powell’s reference to the influence of incoming data and the economic outlook on the Fed interest rate path eased immediate concerns of a hard landing. The support was brief, however, with the Q&A session highlighting the Fed’s threat to the US economy. Market reaction to the testimony left the top ten cryptos in negative territory. DOGE (-6.21%), ETH (-6.75%), and SOL (-6.25%) led the way down. ADA (-4.75%) and BTC (-3.63%) also struggled, while BNB (-2.64%) and XRP (-1.89%) saw relatively modest losses. From the CoinMarketCap top 100, Waves ( WAVES ) was the biggest loser, sliding by 15.39%, the downside partially reversing a 43.04% breakout from Tuesday. Several cryptos bucked the trend, with Polygon ( MATIC ) and Uniswap ( UNI ) among the front runners. MATIC and UNI ended the day with gains of 8.49% and 4.32%, respectively. Stablecoins Hold Steady Despite USDD Peg Issues On the stablecoin front, USDD avoided a fall to sub-$0.97 before striking a day high of $0.9762. USDD 7-Day Chart 230622 Since June 13, TRON DAO Reserve has yet to restore the dollar peg. Despite this, a partial recovery from a June 19 of $0.9256 remains good enough for the market. Transparency has proven to be the key, with initial investor fear of another stablecoin collapse abating. According to TRON DAO Reserve, the collateral ratio stood at 324.16%. USDD Collateral Ratio 230622 Looking at the major stablecoins, Binance USD ( BUSD ) and USD Coin ( USDC ) were the only coins with the dollar peg firmly in place. Total Crypto Liquidations Eased Further Back Powell’s Testimony The downward trend in total crypto liquidations continued into this morning. 24-hour liquidations slipped from a Wednesday $170.27 million to $165.11 million this morning. Last week, total liquidations had hit $1 billion levels. One-hour liquidations reflected improved market conditions. According to Coinglass , one-hour liquidations stood at $2.05 million. Total Crypto Liquidations 230622 A decline in 24-hour total liquidations to sub-$100 million would deliver crypto market support.

Bitcoin miner Mawson Infrastructure (MIGI) said it plans to develop a new 120 megawatt (MW) facility in Texas and expects it to be fully operational by the fourth quarter. • Site development is expected to start this quarter. • The facility could potentially accommodate up to 4 exahash per second (EH/s) of bitcoin (BTC) mining capacity, the miner said in astatement. • Mawson is working to secure the power purchase agreements required to start the facility and will utilize both carbon credits and renewable energy credits as well as participate in curtailment programs to ensure grid load management. • The miner is working with a bitcoin miner that uses wasted natural gas, JAI Energy, and one of the largest landowners in the state, Texas Pacific Land (TPL), both of which will share in the revenue streams. They will also have an option to acquire an equity interest in Mawson’s Texas unit, Luna Squares Texas LLC. • The decision to start a new site comes as Texas requires new large scale miners toseek permissionbefore connecting to the grid because the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) expects a pickup in demand resulting from more miners coming into the state. • In fact, Marathon Digital (MARA), one of the largest publicly traded bitcoin miners, said during a conference call that it's looking topotentially diversifyout of Texas, as there might be a time when there is too much load on the grid because of miners flocking into the state. • Mawson also reportedfirst quarter earningson Monday, saying revenue rose 178% from the year before while falling about 1% from theprevious quarter. • The shares of the miner were down about 4% on Monday.

What you and other new investors fail to realize is that the recent rapid push to 50k+ this year has nothing to do with “market adoption” or “utility” or a new solvent currency. \n\nBtc has had ineffable amounts of transaction volume for more than ten years now. I’ve been hodling since 2012 and can tell you this currency idea is not novel. The only reason it jumped so exponentially in the last couple of years was heavy speculation by hedge funds, central banks, governments, and other institutions using it as a less regulated store of value. Once all of these imprudent crypto newbs bought at +50k and inflated the price it became a perfect protection against inflation or market collapses for institutions . And that’s exactly what they did, now people who bought at the top are scrambling for answers to no avail. \n\nIf you’ve been hodling as long as I have you’ve seen multiple +50% drops happen with even more speed and veracity through the years. 2012-2017- and twice in the last two years. This is nothing new and will continue to happen. Stop relying on a number you have no control over to make you rich, crypto is not some god sent solvency to life’s largest tribulations. It’s a highly speculative and heavily manipulated asset with almost no regulation. Only invest what you’re willing to lose, I’ve kept that mentality since 2012 and slowly invested when it was least expensive to do so and my investment is still 30x since the most recent drop and was nearly 100x at the peak. Still never sold or bought more at the top. Forget about your losses, this could take years to break out or correct, focus on other forms of remuneration so you’re not reliant on btc, be punctilious with your investments in the future, and resist the obsequious slave mindset.

On the second day of testimony, Fed Chair Powell provided no surprises to shift sentiment from Wednesday, where the Fed Chair talked of cutting inflation at any cost.

Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, formerly known as FairX, is launching its first crypto derivatives product this month, hoping to attract more retail traders. The futures exchange, which is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will launch its derivatives product, Nano Bitcoin futures (BIT), on June 27, according to a statement sent to CoinDesk. “The crypto derivatives market represents $3T in volume worldwide and we believe that additional product development and accessibility will unlock significant growth,” the statement said. Coinbase said it's also awaiting regulatory approval on its own futures commission merchant (FCM) license to offer margined futures contracts for its clients. The launch comes at a highly volatile period in the crypto market, set off by the dramatic collapses of Terra’s LUNA , crypto lender Celsius and crypto fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC). Bitcoin’s price has fallen about 56% this year, while Ethereum’s native token ether is down roughly 70%. Coinbase bought FairX earlier this year to launch crypto derivatives products. FairX launched its futures exchange platform in May 2021 after receiving regulatory approvals in late 2020.

Through partnering with regulated broker Just2trade, the platform is able to ensure KYC/AML processes, followed by gaining access to the P2P crypto trading platform provided by Delta.Theta. This unique combination opens the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) to major financial institutions, marking the beginning of DeFi integration into the corporate finance sphere. https://storage.googleapis.com/accesswire/media/705889/Delta-theta-launch.jpeg In the newly-launched hybrid DEX platform, individuals will be able to buy and sell options from peers, while simultaneously providing the regulation and transparency of a licenced organization. Delta.Theta supports various networks, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon and Aurora/NEAR, and makes it possible to trade currencies such as BTC, ETH, BNB, AAVE, MATIC, DOT, etc. Through its platform, Delta.Theta opens P2P options trading to the regulated financial market - a first step in bringing DeFi into the traditional finance sector. The platform is a signifier of the times - that DeFi will increasingly be integrated into major financial institutions, such as banks, hedge funds, asset firms, and other regulated market participants. Until now, traditional finance market participants have been averse to participating in DeFi due to the unregulated and volatile nature of the industry. However, by partnering with regulated brokers Just2Trade, they provide all of the levels of security that licenced financial institutions require to do business, including rigorous KYC and AML processes. "Delta.Theta brings transparency and regulation to the crypto options trading industry. Right now, 90% of every crypto exchange made is processed through a company called Deribit, which is a non-regulated company in Panama . They process $8B in open interest transactions per day. While this may be acceptable to risk-averse early adopters, more serious market participants need a regulated environment to feel secure, and for crypto trading to enter the mainstream. This is what Delta.Theta brings to the table." - Daniil Zatologin, co-founder and CEO of Delta.Theta Story continues The platform also enables individuals to trade options without the need of a third-party. Individuals are able to trade directly from their wallets, thus eliminating the risk inherent in first transferring funds to a third-party broker. The combination of KYC and AML compliance, use of distributed ledger technology, broker-free platform, and unique technical features makes Delta.Theta ideally positioned to introduce decentralized finance to the regulated financial sector, starting with options exchange. Delta.Theta is a fintech company founded in 2020, currently seeing 50% quarter-to-quarter growth in the notional value of trading options. It was co-founded by serial entrepreneur Daniil Zatologin and blockchain expert Ilia Chesnakov. Zatologin is a professional trader with more than 15 years of experience in the stock and derivatives market in various brokerage companies. Chesnakov is a full-stack developer and resident blockchain expert with experience in developing and supporting high-load applications. He is the winner of multiple Worldskills National Inter-University competitions. For the last 5 years, he has been focusing on the development of fintech applications.

However, adding to the upside was investor sentiment towards the outcome of the SEC v Ripple case, with investors betting on a settlement. Technical indicators are bullish, with XRP sitting above the 100-day EMA. On Friday, XRP rallied by 9.5% to lead the crypto top ten. Following a 4.1% gain on Thursday, XRP ended the day at $03669. A bullish morning saw XRP surge from an early low of $0.3351 to a late morning high of $0.3868. XRP broke through the day\x92s Major Resistance Levels before a pullback to end the day at $0.37. While falling back to sub-$0.37, XRP avoided a fall through the Third Major Resistance Level at $0.3614. Despite a second consecutive day in the green, XRP remains under pressure as investors await the court ruling in the SEC v Ripple case. Court Ruling on Hinman Speech-Related Documents Pivotal to XRP The SEC, Ripple, and Investors are currently awaiting a court ruling that could have a material impact on XRP and the broader-crypto market. In 2018, the former SEC Director of the Division of Corporation Finance said that Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ) are not securities. Hinman has become the focal point of the case as both sides navigate the question of whether XRP is a security. This year, the SEC has focused primarily on ensuring that the defense and the public don\x92t see the content of Hinman\x92s speech-related documents. The SEC continues to claim that these documents fall under the attorney-client privilege. With the courts entertaining the SEC filings, allowing the SEC to file at least six motions to protect the documents under the attorney-client privilege, the ruling could go either way. Some may argue that Judge Sarah Netburn has given the SEC some wriggle room to eliminate the chance of more motions or even an appeal. As a ruling nears, XRP has found support, rising from a June 18 current year low of $0.2868. Ultimately, XRP should make its way to December 2020 levels, the month the SEC filed its case against Ripple. Story continues For XRP holders, a favorable outcome would then support a run at the April 2021 high of $1.965. The upside potential could be significant, which may draw sidelined investors back into the market. XRP Price Action At the time of writing, XRP was down 0.41% to $0.3654. XRPUSD 250622 Daily Chart Technical Indicators Avoiding a fall through the $0.3629 pivot would bring the Friday high of $0.3868 and the First Major Resistance Level at $0.3908 into play. XRP would need the broader crypto market to support a breakout from $0.3850. In the case of an extended crypto rally, XRP could test resistance at $0.40 and the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.4146. A breakout remains hinged on investor sentiment toward the court ruling. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.4663. A fall through the pivot would bring the First Major Support Level at $0.3391 into play. Barring an extended sell-off , XRP should avoid sub-$0.33. The Second Major Support Level sits at $0.3112. XRPUSD 250622 Hourly Chart The EMAs and the 4-hourly candlestick chart (below) send a bullish signal. At the time of writing, XRP sat above the 100-day EMA, currently at $0.3440. Today, the 50-day EMA closed in on the 100-day EMA. The 100-day EMA narrowed to the 200-day EMA, price Positive. A bullish cross of the 50-day EMA through the 100-day EMA would support a breakout from the 200-day EMA. From there, the bulls would target $0.40.

In recent months, lawmakers have not only questioned SEC tactics but also sided with the CFTC to regulate the space. On Friday, Gensler talked to the FT about his plans to work with the CFTC to ensure both agencies deliver the regulatory oversight to protect investors. Earlier this month, we discussed a likely battle between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The US agencies are vying for the responsibility to regulate the digital asset market, which is currently in its nascency compared with other asset classes. Winning approval to regulate the digital asset market would be a feather in the cap for either agency. While currently worth less than $1 trillion, the evolution of Web3 and recovery from the crypto winter could eventually see the digital asset space sit alongside the US equities and commodities markets. Lawmakers would also have to give the SEC or the CFTC the necessary budget to deliver the regulatory framework and oversight capabilities. Until now, SEC Gary Gensler has taken a tough stance on the crypto market. Some lawmakers even contacted the SEC chair, questioning his tactics and how the SEC approach could stifle innovation. Consequently, the CFTC has the upper hand in receiving the authority to regulate the digital asset market. SEC’s Gensler Talks About Working with the CFTC to Regulate Cryptos On Friday, SEC Chair Gary Gensler spoke to the FT about digital assets and regulatory oversight. According to the FT, Gensler aims to form an alliance with other financial agencies to ensure that crypto platforms don’t fall through the regulatory cracks. Gensler is reportedly talking with the CFTC about an agreement to ensure that crypto trading has the appropriate safeguards and transparency. The latest Gary Gansler move follows the introduction of the Lummis and Gillibrand bill that looks to give the CFTC sweeping powers to oversee the digital asset space. Story continues The successful passage of the bipartisan bill would materially reduce the SEC’s powers over the digital asset space. Gensler said, “I’m talking about one rule book on the exchange that p **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [38117.46, 39241.12, 39773.83, 38609.82, 37714.88, 38469.09, 38529.33, 37750.45, 39698.37, 36575.14, 36040.92, 35501.95, 34059.27, 30296.95, 31022.91, 28936.36, 29047.75, 29283.10, 30101.27, 31305.11, 29862.92, 30425.86, 28720.27, 30314.33, 29200.74, 29432.23, 30323.72, 29098.91, 29655.59, 29562.36, 29267.22, 28627.57, 28814.90, 29445.96, 31726.39, 31792.31, 29799.08, 30467.49, 29704.39, 29832.91, 29906.66, 31370.67, 31155.48, 30214.36, 30112.00, 29083.80, 28360.81, 26762.65, 22487.39, 22206.79, 22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The Federal Reserve has already raised interest rates a total of 150 basis points since the start of the year. Borrowers are already seeing the impact of that on the i nterest rates they pay on unsecured debt. It’s also evident in rising mortgage rates. From rates below 3% in 2021, the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is now over 5%. 7 Great Dividend Stocks Under $25 Many current and prospective homeowners are wondering what impact these rising mortgage rates will have on their home loans. The simple fact is that the cost of financing a home is going up. But the type of mortgage you have will determine how much rising mortgage rates will affect your home loan. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Fixed-Rate Mortgages Provide Cost Certainty If you already own a home with a fixed-rate mortgage or have a signed contract that locked in a fixed rate, you can breathe easy. Your rates will not be changing. That’s the benefit of a fixed-rate mortgage. When faced with inflation pressures and rising interest rates, homeowners have the cost certainty that their mortgage will not increase. The Perils of Adjustable-Rate Mortgages If you have an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), you may not be as lucky. When interest rates are increasing, adjustable-rate mortgages will move higher. This will increase the amount of money that borrowers pay on their mortgage. In fact, it was this resetting of interest rates during the financial crisis that forced many homes into foreclosure or short sales. However, all hope is not lost. First, adjustable-rate mortgages come with a cap. This means there is a limit as to how high interest rates (and by extension payments) can go over the lifetime of the mortgage. Therefore, if borrowers have the financial wherewithal, they may choose to ride out the current interest rate environment and hope that rates will stabilize or even reverse at some point. Story continues 7 Large Cap Stocks to Buy for Long-Term Stability Alternatively, unlike the interest rates on credit cards, auto loans and personal loans it can take ARMs a little time to reset. This is typically done either annually or semi-annually. This means, depending on their particular schedule, qualified homeowners may have time to refinance their mortgage into a fixed-rate mortgage to gain cost certainty. It Only Feels Like the 1980s for Mortgage Rates According to Nerd Wallet , as of June 2, 2022, the average mortgage rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage is 5.236%. For a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage, the rate is 4.437%. and for a 5-year adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), the rate is 4.184%. Millennials have not yet experienced inflation at these levels. And for many of younger millennials, mortgage rates above 5% are higher than they remember in their lifetime. But from a historical perspective, mortgage rates are only now approaching the 50-year average (records weren’t kept by Freddie Mac until around 1971). In fact, in 1981, the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was over 16.6% . And keep in mind, this is a rate that was available for borrowers with impeccable credit and a sizable down payment. However, comparisons like this need to be counterbalanced by the reality that our society is much different than it was in the early 1980s. It is far more credit and consumption driven. And student loans are a part of millennial budgets in ways that older generations did not have.

FTX’s Super Bowl commercial featured the comedian Larry David, who played different characters throughout history dismissing revolutionary technologies like the wheel and the light bulb. It was one of several high-profile adverts featuring celebrity endorsements over the past year, broadcast amid record-breaking price rallies and billions of dollars pouring into the space from both institutional and retail investors. Since peaking in November, there has been a major downturn that has wiped more than $1.7 trillion from the overall crypto market, including more than $600 billion from bitcoin. The capitulation was compounded last week after a leading cryptocurrency completely collapsed, wiping more than 99 per cent from its value. Celebrities who promoted cryptocurrencies are now facing criticism for not properly highlighting the risks for investors. The New York Times reached out to many of the famous backers, including actors Matt Damon, Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as basketball star LeBron James, however few responded. Those that did either refused to comment or claimed to not know anything about the technology. “Unfortunately I don’t think we’d have anything to add as we have no idea how cryptocurrency works (even after having it explained to us repeatedly), don’t own it, and don’t follow its market,” Jeff Schaffer, who directed the FTX ad, wrote in an email to the publication. “We just set out to make a funny commercial.” FTX did not respond to a request for comment from The Independent before the time of publication, though its founder recently spoke to the Financial Times about the perceived limitations of bitcoin. Sam Bankman-Fried, who also serves as the firm’s CEO, said he did not believe the world’s most popular cryptocurrency could serve as a mainstream form of payment, despite both El Salvador and Central African Republic adopting it as an official currency. “The bitcoin network is not a payments network, and it is not a scaling network,” he said. “Things that you’re doing millions of transactions a second with have to be extremely efficient and lightweight, and lower energy cost.”... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

The yellow metal’s run-up to five-week highs on Friday was abruptly reversed on Monday amid risk aversion across markets on the eve of the third anticipated Federal Reserve rate hike for this year. Front-month gold futures for August on New York’s Comex settled down $43.70, or 2.3%, at $1,831.80 an ounce. It was the sharpest one-day drop in Comex gold since May 2, when it lost 2.5%. Gold’s rundown coincided with the runup in the dollar, which neared a fresh two-decade high of 104.96 against a basket of six major currencies. Adding to the pressure on the yellow metal was a rally in benchmark U.S. bond yields, where the return on the 10-year Treasury note hit an 11-year peak of 3.348%. Other risk flight casualties included Bitcoin, which fell 18% to below $23,000, plumbing its lowest since December 2020. Wall Street entered bear-market territory, with the S&P 500 losing more than 20% on the year and Nasdaq Composite dropping over 30% for 2022 so far. The only “safe” risk, if any, appeared to be oil, with crude prices returning to the positive by lunch hour in New York, after spending the morning in the red. “The driver of all of this negativity in the markets centers around high inflation and higher yields which have been bad news for gold this year,” said Craig Erlam, analyst at online trading platform OANDA. The Labor Department reported on Friday that theConsumer Price Index, or CPI, grew by 8.6% in the year to May, expanding by its fastest rate since 1981, as the cost of virtually everything - from food to fuel, shelter and clothing - spiked last month. The inflation data came just ahead ofWednesday’s policy meetingof the Fed. After leaving rates at between zero and 0.25% for a period of two years due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Fed’s Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, raised them in March by 25 basis points, or a quarter-percentage point, and in May by 50 basis points, or a half-percentage point. The June meeting of the FOMC was initially expected to result in another half-point rise. But after the red-hot CPI number for May, some economists are speculating that the central bank might be toying with a 75 basis point, or three-quarter percentage point, hike instead. Erlam acknowledged that thinking on Monday, saying “a 75-basis point hike is being increasingly priced in, although the base case is still 50 basis points.” He added that while gold was “still a safe haven in many circumstances, a higher dollar and yields are a big negative for the yellow metal and a break of that support may now be on the cards ahead of the Fed meeting on Wednesday.” Gold is supposed to be a hedge against inflation and it typically rallies when investors become worried about a reduction in the purchasing power of the dollar. But it’s not a perfect correlation as gold has also broken down various times this year when inflation data came in higher. Further confounding the hedging theory, gold and the dollar have also rallied together on various occasions this year as inflation concerns propped up bullion prices while the greenback rose on expectations of Fed rate hikes. That was the situation on Friday when August gold on Comex rallied to a five-week high just shy of $1,880 even as the dollar and Treasuries jumped.

While a stock split may be all too familiar for you, a reverse split is not a very common corporate action. In this article, I shall delve on the what, why, how and when of a reverse split. What’s a Reverse Split? A reverse split refers to an action by a company to buoy its stock price by consolidating the number of its outstanding shares. Essentially, this phenomenon serves to reduce the number of outstanding shares and the degree of reduction depends on the ratio of the reverse stock split. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips 7 Butchered Tech Stocks to Buy and Hold Earlier this month, South San Francisco, California-based Calithera Biosciences (NASDAQ: CALA ) announced a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. The reverse split went into effect on Jun. 14 and combined 20 pre-split shares into a single post-split CALA stock. At the end of the March quarter, Calithera had 78,468,000 outstanding shares. While announcing the reverse split, the company said it expects the number to shrink to 4,865,000 shares, excluding outstanding and unexercised stock options and warrants. What will happen to the fractional shares held by shareholders after all of their holdings are consolidated using the ratio announced by the company? As Calithera said in its release, they get cash in lieu of the fractional shares, with the value calculated based on the stock price that prevailed then. Why and When Companies Do a Reverse Split A reverse split is resorted to by companies primarily to regain compliance with listing standards when their stock prices drop below the required minimum. This will help them remain listed on the main exchanges. Staying listed on the main exchanges gives the company visibility, credibility and liquidity. No company worth its salt may want to face the ignominy of delisting, especially for flouting exchange rules. Story continues In Calithera’s case, the company intended to bring its stock price back above the $1 minimum bid price requirement for remaining listed on the Nasdaq . Additionally, some companies may do a reverse split to boost their image in a bid to attract investments from large investors. There is another rationale behind reverse splitting. When a stock of a company trading at depressed levels plans a spinoff, it is most likely to implement a reverse split. This could give leeway for commanding a better spin-off price. Most corporate actions fall under the regulatory purview of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, state corporate law and a company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws assume a greater control over a company’s ability to declare a reverse stock split and whether shareholders need to vet the action. After a company’s board approves the decision to reverse split, it notifies shareholders of the decision either through a press release or a filing on Form 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K. The company has to file a proxy statement on Schedule 14A if shareholders need to approve the action. If the reverse split will result in the company going private, it requires a Schedule 13E-3 filing. Impacts on Stock Performance Investors’ stakes in a company doing a reverse split does not change, but the number of shares they hold will vary. In other words, intrinsic value of the company does not change, but there is an adjustment in stock price. Therefore, a reverse split does not affect the market capitalization of the company. Bottom Line on Reverse Splits A regular stock split sends a confident signal to investors that the stock reflects positive fundamentals and has reached levels that have become unaffordable for retail investors. On the other hand, investors always take reverse stock splits with a pinch of salt. Invariably, investors associate reverse splits with a struggling company. At least, from the perspective of perception, it is a negative for stocks. But it doesn’t necessarily need to be negative. General Electric (NYSE: GE ) implemented a 1-for-8 reverse stock split in August 2021. The company reasoned that over the years, it has divested many of its businesses without any change to the outstanding shares: “Through these divestitures, we have not reduced our share count proportionally – leaving us in the unusual position of having nearly 8.8 billion shares outstanding, a much higher share count than other industrial companies.” In certain cases, reverse splitting buys time for companies to improve their fundamental performance. It helps improve perception regarding a company before a turnar **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [38609.82, 37714.88, 38469.09, 38529.33, 37750.45, 39698.37, 36575.14, 36040.92, 35501.95, 34059.27, 30296.95, 31022.91, 28936.36, 29047.75, 29283.10, 30101.27, 31305.11, 29862.92, 30425.86, 28720.27, 30314.33, 29200.74, 29432.23, 30323.72, 29098.91, 29655.59, 29562.36, 29267.22, 28627.57, 28814.90, 29445.96, 31726.39, 31792.31, 29799.08, 30467.49, 29704.39, 29832.91, 29906.66, 31370.67, 31155.48, 30214.36, 30112.00, 29083.80, 28360.81, 26762.65, 22487.39, 22206.79, 22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

But one of the world's biggest stablecoins, TerraUSD, has been neither this week. Terraform Labs’ UST stablecoin, which is supposed to be pegged to the U.S. dollar, has swung wildly over the past few days, and hit a low of29 centson Wednesday morning, according to CoinGecko. Its potential demise could change the future of stablecoin regulation, if not the course of decentralized finance itself. The stablecoin's sister cryptocurrency, Luna, had previously dropped to 81 cents. Though Luna is now trading at around $3.67, up 46% in the last hour alone, it’s down 87% in 24 hours and down 95% in the last week. The South Korean mogul who created the stablecoin, Do Kwon, at first pledged over $1 billion in Bitcoin and UST through the Luna Foundation Guard in a failed attempt to stabilize the coin. He's been teasing a rescue plan for days, and the details just dropped on Wednesday morning. After days of turmoil, Kwon said thatTerra endorses a community-proposed planthat hopes to save UST. UST is an algorithmic stablecoin, which differs from other stablecoins because it has no reserves. Instead, it holds value based on an algorithm that is coded to strike a balance between the stablecoin and a partner coin. In UST’s case, that partner coin is its sister cryptocurrency, Luna. Every time a UST token is minted, the equivalent of $1 in Luna is burned, or removed from circulation, and vice versa, to maintain the peg. So, to regain the UST peg, Kwonsupports a planwhich proposes increasing the minting capacity of Luna from $293 million to over $1.2 billion. This would add more Luna to market to be minted and sold in an attempt to try and bring UST back to $1. “The only path forward will be to absorb the stablecoin supply that wants to exit before UST can start to repeg,” hetweeted on Wednesday. “There is no way around it.” With this proposal, “the supply overhang of UST (i.e., bad debt) should continue to decrease until parity is reached and spreads begin healing,”according toKwon. Kwonadmits that this plan comes at a “high cost”to UST and Luna holders, “but we will continue to explore various options to bring in more exogenous capital to the ecosystem & reduce supply overhang on UST.” Kwonadded thatas UST recovers, “we will adjust its mechanism to be collateralized.” He remained confident, saying “Terra’s return to form will be a sight to behold.” But UST remains below $1, currently trading atabout 49 cents, and down 44% in 24 hours.

The total crypto market cap slid by $26 billion to $886 billion, with the $1,000 billion mark now more elusive. It was a bearish Tuesday for the crypto market.

Its collapse is a further blow to a business model that the Australian government and regulators promoted heavily after a 2018 inquiry into misconduct in the finance industry led to a loosening of rules for new banking entrants. Rising inflation and interest rates this year have made it harder for online-only banks, called neobanks in Australia, to compete with established lenders, making fundraising much more difficult. Though the pandemic and COVID-19 restrictions triggered huge demand for home loans in Australia, the shift to working at home also prompted traditional banks to embark on a digital arms race, narrowing approval times for loans and eroding the competitive advantage of neobanks. "We have considered all options but ultimately we have made this call in the best interest of our customers," Volt founder and CEO Steve Weston said in a statement. "The entire Volt team is deeply disappointed to have reached this point." The company had A$113 million ($78 million) in deposits and A$80 million of home loans as of April, according to government data, a tiny fraction of the A$3 trillion mortgage market. The company said no customer would be left out of pocket. Volt is the third of four prominent neobanks that were approved in an initial wave by Australian regulators to fold or be sold, leaving just privately held Judo, which had $5.5 billion in mortgages in April, government figures show. A year ago, Volt raised A$85 million, with mortgage broker Australian Finance Group (AFG) paying A$15 million for an 8% stake. Volt returned to the market this February with hopes of raising another A$200 million, a person with knowledge of the **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [37714.88, 38469.09, 38529.33, 37750.45, 39698.37, 36575.14, 36040.92, 35501.95, 34059.27, 30296.95, 31022.91, 28936.36, 29047.75, 29283.10, 30101.27, 31305.11, 29862.92, 30425.86, 28720.27, 30314.33, 29200.74, 29432.23, 30323.72, 29098.91, 29655.59, 29562.36, 29267.22, 28627.57, 28814.90, 29445.96, 31726.39, 31792.31, 29799.08, 30467.49, 29704.39, 29832.91, 29906.66, 31370.67, 31155.48, 30214.36, 30112.00, 29083.80, 28360.81, 26762.65, 22487.39, 22206.79, 22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

It was generally believed positive movements toward regulation helped perceptions by institutional investors and that that new stream of investment — along with stimulus-powered retail buyers — put the motive force behind the rising prices. But have these assumptions espoused by investors, analysts, and pundits stood the test of time, now that Bitcoin has tumbled from its high of more than $68,000 in November 2021 to just under $29,000 at the time of writing? We touched base with billionaire investor, entrepreneur, political candidate, and Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation, Brock Pierce , to revisit some of the prevailing wisdom of 2021 and see how it bears out in these comparatively bearish times. Benzinga: How has institutional investing impacted the crypto market? Brock Pierce: In the last couple of years, institutional investors have played a significant part in the crypto market, as many more tools have become available, such as institutional custody and prime brokerage services, to get them comfortable interacting in the market as well as the futures ETF and other new products offered by financial institutions. Does inflation play a central role? Inflation will always be a key theme when people discuss cryptocurrencies as well as any traditional currencies and investments. That being said, while retail investors are being hit by the broader economic downturn, we will see slightly less speculation on risk assets. Is there a positive role for regulators to play in crypto? For the first time, we are starting to see regulators really embrace and show more effort to understand how cryptocurrencies can and do affect economies.  Hopefully, we will continue to see more open-minded and informative policies being formed. Is the crypto market going to continue to follow traditional markets? Yes, whenever there are significant dislocations in global markets, smaller markets like cryptocurrency will be affected and follow in the short term. Story continues What opportunities exist for retail and institutional investors in this down market? Retail and institutional investors alike should be focused on finding important projects and continuing to invest in the space by taking a long-term approach with a focus on what is to come over the next cycle. Is this a natural cycle, a cautionary tale, or both? There is no reason to believe that this isn’t just another crypto cycle, that has been dragged down by weakness in global equity markets. The Role Of Inflation It seems to be the general consensus that Bitcoin stands outside the traditional financial system — in some ways. In other ways, not so much. For example, inflation seems likely to impact all traditional and alternative asset classes as long as it means investors have less money to spend. Omid Malekan , crypto/ blockchain author and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School, pointed out that far from being a safe haven, Bitcoin may show more sensitivity to some pressures than established markets. “Crypto is a totally unencumbered market — global, 24/7, little insider information, few regulations — so it tends to react to macro developments faster than other markets,” Malekan said. “Inflation mostly plays a role via the narrative of digitally scarce assets like Bitcoin being a good hedge in times of high inflation. But this narrative can cut both ways. Bitcoin rocketed higher while central banks were stimulating but it is now falling as they pull out the stimulus. It reacts more to future expectations of inflation than the current numbers.” Chris Barnes, Chief Product Officer and Managing Director of the Financial Services Research division of Escalent, sees inflation impacting crypto as it does every part of the economy. “Inflation is affecting everything across the board by taking a bite out of the broader set of markets, including stocks and other asset classes, and by chewing into people’s paychecks in their daily spending. As a result, there will be a natural decline in retail investing until things start to stabilize,” Barnes said. Scott Melker , “The Wolf of All Streets”, a leading crypto investor, trader, author and podcaster, believes inflation definitely has a role in the current bearish trend, but believes that Bitcoin still has a role as a safe haven asset. “Inflation plays a central role. The consequences of easy money and loose monetary policy are ripping through all markets like a virus. A cornerstone of crypto is that it is a hedge against inflation, which has been proven time and time again in countries with hyperinflation... In the US, crypto finds itself closely mirroring other markets, hit by the same macro storm as every other asset... In a risk-off environment, all markets are correlated. Bitcoin will decouple as markets find a bottom, much like the 17X Bitcoin rise after it bottomed in March 2020,” Melker said. Impact of Institutional Investment In virtually every article discussing BTC during the bull run, institutional investors were cited as a prime reason for the continued rise. How do analysts and investors view the role of institutional investors now that crypto has started to slide? Lars Seier Christensen , Chairman of the Concordium Foundation and Co-Founder of Saxo Bank, thinks institutions are not yet all in on crypto — though the will is there. “If you look apart from dedicated Crypto VCs, traditional institutions are still not heavily involved due to risks and regulatory concerns. There is a huge interest and latent demand, but really massive inflow will only be seen as regulatory aspects become stronger and more clarified. Many have an interest and also large family offices, but they hesitate to commit due to these concerns. But these segments represent big opportunities for future adoption,” Christensen said. Gabriella Kusz , CEO of the Global Digital Asset & Cryptocurrency Association, believes institutional interest has been an important proof point for crypto to reach mainstream retail investors. “I believe the largest impact can be seen with the increasing maturation of the asset class and the heightened degree of correlation between traditional equity (stock) market and the crypto market. Even the International Monetary Fund has recognized that increased correlation between Bitcoin and equities means cryptocurrencies may no longer be considered a fringe asset class,” Kusz said. Melker believes institutional investment played a key role in the last bull run and the perception of crypto as an investment, but sees investment shifting to Web3. “Institutional adoption sparked the last bull market when companies like Tesla, Square, and MicroStrategy brought Bitcoin into the mainstream. The trend quickly shifted to heavy VC investment in Web3, to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. This also attracted hedge funds and prop shops, all of which were quick to sell coins as the bear market commenced, because of the easy liquidity and 24/7 availability of the market. Like all boom and bust cycles, the tide will return when macro conditions improve, subsequently improving the perception of crypto along the way,” Melker said. Regulation To The Rescue? Just a few years ago, there was a strong aversion in the crypto space to the interference of regulation from any government. As more retail and institutional investors buy into crypto, can we come to view regulators as allies helping to stabilize the market? Erin Holloway , President of Prime Trust, believes that a clear regulatory structure is a necessary milestone toward the maturation of the space. “Regulatory clarity is what everyone is striving for... everyone wants to know what the rules are so they can get comfortable with entering the crypto game. You won’t want to play if you don’t understand the rules. With more institutions entering the ecosystem and further support from legislators, those who are curious to interact with crypto can now do so with more trust,” Holloway said. “As policymakers work with industry leaders to gain a better understanding of cryptocurrency and recognize the inevitability of it being a part of our financial system, we anticipate widespread adoption and implementation of regulations that impact the crypto market.” Jack Bouroudjian , Chairman of Global Smart Commodity Group, agrees that regulation is part of the critical path to a more steady and accepted market. “Right now there is no regulation. Yes, regulation would be a huge help, especially in the determination of stable coins and also the platforms on which they are listed. I think the creation of an SEC commission, which has recently been announced, is the start of a regulatory process which will see the crypto markets held to the same standards that other asset classes are,” Bouroudjian said. Wes Fulford , CEO of Viridi Funds, sees some positive signs from the Biden administration and is hopeful that regulatory action will help open the crypto market to the wider world. “The recent executive order by President Biden called on US government agencies to explore a variety of cryptocurrency regulations that will help protect investors while instilling confidence in the digital asset space. These types of regulatory actions should serve as a net positive for the cryptocurrency industry, aiding in the education and protection of cryptocurrency participants,” Fulford said. Christensen put a finer point on the matter, positioning regulation as a key consideration for a prosperous future. “Overall, regulation is a key to a trustworthy and credible market. Any market, including crypto. The biggest issue for crypto that should be on everyone’s mind is upcoming regulation. You will HAVE to address this seriously, both to thrive and attract investment. It will be hard, as we have experienced in the past decades in TradFi, but it will also help the m... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/farenheit613', 'Been tracking transactions and found where Celsius has moved their Bitcoin.', 65, '2022-06-29 00:09', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CelsiusNetwork/comments/vmzbpw/been_tracking_transactions_and_found_where/', '[https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1q9l2th7p0ssmdem24cls05xa342g0rp4ky4glw5](https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1q9l2th7p0ssmdem24cls05xa342g0rp4ky4glw5)\n\nThat\'s where they\'re storing it, currently has 944 Bitcoin in it.

Grayscale Investments’ application to convert its $13.5 billion Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot-based bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) was denied by the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday despite the company’s extensive efforts to win approval. Grayscale is owned by Digital Currency Group, which is also the parent company of CoinDesk. The SEC stated in its decision that the application failed to answer the SEC's questions about preventing market manipulation, as well as other concerns. The decision joins the SEC’s rejection on Wednesday of Bitwise’s application for approval of a spot bitcoin ETF, which is comprised of bitcoin or assets related to bitcoin's price. Like Bitwise, Grayscale initially filed its application in October but the decision was delayed multiple times as the SEC requested additional information and comment from the public. The final deadline for the SEC to render a decision on Grayscale’s application was July 6. Proponents of a spot bitcoin ETF approval have argued the product would offer a low-cost and easily accessible way for individuals and institutions to invest in bitcoin. Optimism about an approval began to grow following the approval of several bitcoin futures-based ETFs last fall, and then that of two more futures ETF approvals earlier this year based on the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , the same act under which spot bitcoin ETFs have been filed. For its part, Grayscale has argued forcefully that it is inconsistent to approve an ETF based on bitcoin futures but not allow one based on the underlying investment. Some of its efforts have included marketing to urge members of the public to voice their support to the SEC, a May meeting with the SEC and the strengthening of its legal team with the addition of Donald B. Verrilli Jr. , who previously served as a solicitor general in the Obama administration. The denial comes as a blow not only to Grayscale, but for the broader crypto industry after a long campaign in hopes of proving to the SEC the product contained sufficient investor protections. Few analysts and observers were anticipating an approval , however, noting that SEC Chair Gary Gensler has been consistent in wanting to see more oversight of crypto exchanges before approving a spot bitcoin ETF. Investors and crypto observers will now turn their focus to what Grayscale can and will do now to win approval for a conversion. CEO Michael Sonnenshein said on June 27 the company will be “preparing for all possible post-ruling scenarios.” And on that same date, Grayscale said it would be working with market makers Jane Street and Virtu Financial to help convert GBTC into an ETF if its application was approved. GBTC was trading at an approximate 29% discount to net asset value ahead of the denial, down from 34% a week prior.

The cryptocurrency market came under fire for a second day on Thursday, as a collapse in a large stablecoin and a broad-based flight from risk assets sent bitcoin to its lowest since late 2020. Bitcoin plummeted below $25,500 Wednesday, according to data from Bloomberg, its lowest since December 2020, effectively wiping out all of last year's gains. By 5:04 am ET, bitcoin was 11.5% down on the day at $27,960,according to CoinMarketCap. Other large tokens includingether,cardano,solana, anddogecoincratered. Ether, the second-largest crypto coin by market cap, lost nearly 20% to trade around $1,896, while solana and cardano both fell by 31%, and meme crypto dogecoin dropped 28%. "The entire crypto market is crumbling like a house of cards," Alex Kuptsikevich, the FxPro senior market analyst said. The sharp sell-off comes after major stablecoin,TerraUSD, which is supposed to be fixed at $1, lost its peg to the dollar completely on Wednesday and fell to a low of around $0.30. It was last at $0.60, according to CoinMarketCap, up 24%. Its sister cryptocurrency luna also tanked more than 97% in what analysts termed a "death spiral" that could threaten the confidence in TerraUSD entirely. Bitcoinmeanwhile is now 60% below the record high of $69,000 that it reached last November. Its market value was subsequently punctured, falling below $600 billion from almost double that just six months ago. The crypto market has weakened dramatically in recent weeks, as red-hot inflation has prompted the Federal Reserve to wind down the ultra-easy monetary policy that it put in place to protect the economy during the pandemic. As the era of super-low interest rates has come to an end, especially in light of inflation at 40-year highs, bond yields have surged, equities and other risk assets have tumbled, and investors are now assessing the likelihood that the US economy could enter recession in the coming 24 months. According to CoinMarketCap, the crypto market as a whole has lost over $500 billion in value in the last week alone. As theFedhas raised interest rates to curb sky-high inflation, the crypto market, along with stocks and bonds, has taken a large hit. After stronger-than-expected inflation on Wednesday, the Nasdaq lost 3%, while the S&P 500 market its fourth loss in five sessions. Central bankers and regulators alike have expressed reservations about the stability and transparency of the crypto market. Indeed, the Fed'ssemi-annual Financial Stability Report on Wednesdayhighlighted the risks of trading stablecoins. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reiterated the need to regulate stablecoins at a Senate Banking Committee meeting on Tuesday. "I think that simply illustrates that this is a rapidly growing product and that there are risks to financial stability," she said.

Don’t expect its upcoming earnings report to inspire another meme wave. As it’s likely to resume its slide down to a price more in line with its underlying value, avoid buying AMC stock. AMC movie theater front glowing in the setting sun with the name shining bright red. AMC stock. Source: Ian Dewar Photography / Shutterstock After giving back its late March gains, you may think now is a great time to grab shares in AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC ). With a possible market rebound due to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) latest rate hike plus the company’s upcoming earnings report, you may think there’s enough in play to send AMC stock “to the moon” once again. Unfortunately, what played out in March was arguably the last hurrah for this meme stock legend. Instead of making another big run higher, shares in the movie theater chain may only see a modest boost from any May relief rally. There’s more pointing to a disappointing earnings report rather than one where it pleasantly surprises even its skeptics. What’s the takeaway? With little on the horizon to spark another meme wave, there’s no reason to buy AMC stock. Shares are likely to continue making a steady slide down to a price more in line with fair value. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips AMC AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. $14.64 Few Catalysts Right Now for AMC Stock You may think that there are two catalysts that could help lift AMC Entertainment shares in the short-term: a May relief rally and the upcoming earnings report. As you may recall, it was the market relief rally following the Fed’s initial rate hike in March that kicked off a short-lived spike for not just this meme stock, but other popular meme stocks, like GameStop (NYSE: GME ), as well. 7 Restaurant Stocks Ready for a 'Revenge Travel' Rally Yet, it’s questionable whether we’ll see this play out again this month. The May post-hike rally may be more short-lived than the March one. Two months back, the rise in interest rates occurred after that month’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) print. This one is happening ahead of the latest CPI print. Story continues If the number shows that inflation has not yet peaked, a May relief rally could quickly morph into a sell-off similar to that seen in April. Even if this doesn’t happen and a rally carries on, it may not give AMC stock that big of a boost. Why? Unless the company has another bit of meme-worthy news , like the Hycroft Mining (NASDAQ: HYMC ) deal, which extended the March rally, shares may only see a modest rise in price at best. Upcoming Earnings Report AMC’s upcoming earnings report may seem like something that will get the self-described “Apes” to go bananas about AMC stock again. Taking a closer look, though, there is a lot to suggest it won’t drive too much excitement. It is already assumed the company’s results will be leaps and bounds ahead of the prior year’s quarter. A year ago, the pandemic was still depressing movie theater attendance. Today, the attempted recovery for movie theaters is in full swing. A revenue beat, or the reporting of lower-than-expected losses, could possibly result in a post-earnings rally. However, as a Motley Fool commentator recently argued, box office figures in February and March were uninspiring . This signals a revenue beat isn’t in the cards. As for lower-than-expected losses, sell-side analysts have already walked-back their estimates. A month ago, they were expecting 47 cents per share in losses. Now, they expect 63 cents per share in losses . Updates to guidance could also spark a rally, but that is far from guaranteed. Box office receipts aren’t anticipated to re-hit post-pandemic levels this year. AMC may have limited ability to report revenue for the full-year 2022 that comes in well ahead of the current forecast of $4.57 billion . No Reason to Buy at Today’s Prices With little in play to get the meme crowd excited again, what’s next for shares in AMC? I don’t expect the stock to make a quick trip to a price in line with its fair value, which is under $10 per share . I do, however, anticipate it to keep on making a steady slide to lower prices. The “Ape Army” will continue to drop in size due to attrition. Slowly but surely, it’ll eventually make its way to a price where it’s valued mainly on its fundamentals. Weighing slim chances for a meme spike against the high chance it slides to lower prices, it’s best to avoid AMC stock.

This has drawn it back to levels last seen in early 2021.\n\nThe portfolio has consequently fallen below the revised portfolio goal of $2.62 million at the end of the month, meaning the notional option to cease paid work has evaporated quickly, and perhaps for some time.\n\n*[Chart]*\n\nJust over one-third of the losses this month occurred in the traditional assets of equities, with some additional losses in fixed interest. A little less than two-thirds of the monthly fall in value is a function of some major price falls in the Bitcoin portfolio (of around 36 per cent).\n\nAustralian equities were one of the areas of most substantial losses, with falls of around 8.5 per cent. By comparison, international equities (and particularly US equities on an unhedged basis) fell around 5.0 per cent.\n\nBonds continued to perform poorly, losing around 2.7 per cent, while gold holdings slightly increased in value (around 2 per cent).\n\n*[Chart]*\n\nThe portfolio losses this month reflect ongoing global pessimism around the capacity of major developed and emerging economies to curb strong inflationary pressures without inducing a slow down or recession in the real economy – with consequent adverse impacts on asset markets.\n\nPolicymakers are increasingly recognising that the set of tools available to them at this point in an unusual type of economic cycle are ill-suited to addressing the challenges of supply chain disruption and potential wage-cost inflation spirals.\n\nSome advanced economies remain firmly in the mode of monetary expansion, while other monetary authorities are enacting or inducing substantial tightenings of credit conditions.\n\nExpected higher inflation and interest rates have impacted on equity markets, and might be expected to continue to present problems from here, unless a clearer path to more stable price levels becomes apparent. Rising nominal corporate debt costs also signal potential future sources of instability, or unpleasant periods (video) ahead.\n\nDespite recent sharp falls in Australian equities bringing the medium-term objective of reaching an equal allocation of Australian and international equities closer, domestic equities still make up 55 per cent of total equities.\n\nIn other words, large falls in Australian equities this month have ironically slightly assisted in moving closer to the asset allocation target. To further support this, investments this month have continued to be focused on the Vanguard international shares ETF (VGS).\n\nTracking the positions – updating quarterly and half-year distributions\nThe end of June provides an opportunity to look forward to the crystallisation of two quarters of portfolio distributions, based on projections and early guidance, and set up a later comparison of distributions payments against previous expectations.\n\nIn early July second quarter distributions will be finalised and paid.\n\nUsing the history of average payouts on a ‘cents per unit’ basis for the Vanguard retail funds, it is possible to forecast what an average set of distributions could look, and compare these to past years. In the case of the three exchange traded funds (VAS, VGS and A200), these have just released draft guidance on estimated distributions in the past week.\n\nThe chart below sets out estimated second quarter (i.e. April-June) distributions, based on the above published distribution estimates and past averages.\n\n*[Chart]*\n\nSo far, second quarter distributions are about $13,000 higher than were expected in April due to higher than average distributions from Australian equity ETFs (A200 and VAS). As a result, this quarter total portfolio distributions are expected to be around $66,000.\n\nA major sensitivity in the final overall result will be the eventual level of the Vanguard High Growth Fund retail fund distributions – as this is forecast to constitute over 60 per cent of the final second quarter payments.\n\nThe actual payouts from this fund will be influenced by capital gains distributions – in part arising from investors’ investments or redemptions this quarter – and so is variable.\n\nTo the extent that the Vanguard High Growth retail fund has an exposure to indexed Australian equities similar to the A200 and VAS exchange traded funds, actual distributions from it may turn out to be higher than the estimates made here.\n\nThe completion of the first quarter, and these second quarter projections, allow an updated glimpse of possible first half-year (i.e. 1 January to 30 June 2022) distributions.\n\nThe chart below sets out current estimates for this period in 2022 compared to historical levels.\n\n*[Chart]*\n\nFrom this it can be seen that half-year distributions of around $78,000 are expected, again above prior estimates in April.\n\nAs with the second quarter distributions, the Vanguard High Growth retail fund plays an outsized role, representing on average around 50 per cent of expected distributions, so the actual payouts for this fund will be a major determinant of final results.\n\n**Changing currents – tracking the level of portfolio distributions year by year**\n\nA different perspective on the evolution of distributions through time can be obtained by looking at the trend in the level of distributions across each quarter on a consecutive yearly basis.\n\nThe chart below does this covering the period of this record. Prior to 2017, there were essentially no significant distributions in either the March or September quarters (Q1 or Q3), aside from irregular payouts from the Vanguard bond retail fund.\n\nThe orange hashed bar for the second quarter of 2022 reflects the unfinalised state of these distributions.\n\n*[Chart]*\n\nFrom this perspective, a few observations are possible:\n\n* There has been strong growth in March (Quarter 1) and September (Quarter 3) distributions, associated with increasing exposure to the exchange traded funds paying out in those periods\n\n* These March and September distributions have had smoother path of growth, potentially reflecting their lower capital gains components and the relatively greater tax efficiency of the ETF structure compared to the legacy Vanguard retail index funds\nJune distributions remain consistently the most significant, and also variable in absolute terms\n\n* Over the past five years, the ‘evenness’ of distributions through the year has improved, with $20,000 of distributions now occurring outside of the main June and December distributions.\n\n**Trends in average distributions and expenses**\n\nThis month average total expenses continued to rise from the lows of earlier this year.\n\nIn a change to past approaches, I have updated the method of estimating the moving average of distributions. This has changed the apparent direction of the blue line denoting distributions over the past several months. The way of calculating red line of total expenses remains unchanged.\n\nLast month the blue line of the distributions estimate was pointing down. Mathematically, this is because some ‘holding’ estimates I had placed in there for the first half of this year represented essentially out of date projections based on either past averages of the relevant half-years, or annual estimates divided into monthly sub-totals.\n\nWith more data and furth...

Crypto Markets Still Sliding The bad news keeps flowing in the crypto industry, resulting in rock bottom market sentiment. The total crypto market capitalization has retreated a further 4% over the past 24 hours, falling to just over $900 billion. Over the past month, crypto markets have lost 34%, or $467 billion, and are currently down 70% from peak levels last November. Bitcoin ( BTC ) was struggling at $19,274, and Ethereum ( ETH ) had lost more than 4% in a fall to $1,057 at the time of writing.

Last week, Goldmanannouncedits first-ever Bitcoin (BTC) backed loan in which the king of crypto would be used as collateral to secure a cash loan for the borrower. It has now been revealed that America’s largest exchange Coinbase will be working with the Wall Street bank on crypto-collateralized loans; however, the terms of the lending facility have not been disclosed. On May 3, Brett Tejpaul, head of Coinbase Institutional, toldBloomberg: “Coinbase’s work with Goldman is a first step in the recognition of crypto as collateral which deepens the bridge between the fiat and crypto economies,” Bitcoin-backed loans are not new to the crypto industry, but they are to Wall Street. The move signals that big banks are finally warming to crypto and broadening their services to incorporate institutional clients with digital asset investments. Earlier this week, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said thatcrypto was more efficient than banksfor international transfers. Goldman already has a team focused on crypto and traded its first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) Bitcoin options in March, becoming the first major U.S. bank to do so. Loans in the crypto sector usually involve borrowers supplying Bitcoin at loan-to-value in the 40% to 60% range. This is according to the managing director of trading and lending at crypto prime brokerage Genesis, Matthew Ballensweig, who added: “Tenors can vary as well as other prepayment terms, but it’s a simple structure to bring institutional lenders into the market,” Coinbase (COIN) has already structured similar crypto loans with crypto-friendly banks such as Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank, and similar structures with large investment banks are being developed. Coinbase held more than $566 million in crypto assets, including more than $183 million worth of Bitcoin at the end of 2021. It also reported cash equivalents in the $7 billion range, making it a prime candidate for providing collateral. In a related matter, Weiss Ratings agency has recently issued a warning over using Bitcoin and crypto assets to back loans for real estate. The research firm advised caution with such mortgages, citing declines in stock and crypto markets this year, a U.S. housing bubble, rising interest rates, and the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy changes. Bitcoin prices have retreated again today, falling a further 1.3% to dip below $38,000 for the first time since mid-March. Coinbase stock had gained 2.17% to reach $123.5 in after-hours trading.

A $2.28 billion increase took the market cap to $848.5 billion. It was a mixed Saturday for the crypto market. Bitcoin ( BTC ) extended its losing streak to seven sessions with a modest 0.12% loss.

Market headwinds include fears of a recession, sentiment towards monetary policy, and the evolving regulatory landscape, though the regulatory environment could improve for some jurisdictions.

The rout on Wall Street snuffed a rally in European stocks. Fears of a recession, as the Bank of England suggested after it hiked rates earlier in London, quashed enthusiasm from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's remarks on Wednesday when he said policymakers were not considering 75 basis-point moves in the future. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes rose 12.2 basis points to 3.037%, with inflation-hedge gold rising after Powell emphasized risks to the economy from soaring inflation. Data shows the long end of the Treasury market has suffered the most deeply negative returns this year going back to at least 1928, said Joseph LaVorgna, chief economist for the Americas at Natixis in New York. "I'm surprised by the price action in the Treasury market because this has been an extraordinary historic move," he said. "This is a pretty big move on top of an already significant move. It's due to rising real yields," LaVorgna said. Markets will remain volatile until there is a clear picture of Fed rate policy and its trajectory later this year, said Anthony Saglimbene, global market strategist at Ameriprise Financial. Investors are "worried that when we get to the back half of this year, the Fed is going to be so aggressive with raising interest rates that they're going to take the economy into a recession," he said, adding "there's an overall negative sentiment in the market." Worries about fast-paced rate increases at a time of China's COVID-19 lockdowns and the war in Ukraine to slow surging inflation have heavily weighed on stock markets this year. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.70% after opening 1.84% higher. MSCI's gauge of global stock performance shed 2.55% as it tumbled to lows last seen in March 2021. The global benchmark is down 14% year to date. Story continues On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 3.12% and the S&P 500 lost 3.56%. The Nasdaq Composite shed 4.99% in its biggest single-day plunge since June 2020, and closed at its lowest level since November 2020. The technology-rich index is down 21.3% year to date. Britain's pound and government bond yields fell sharply after the BoE raised rates to their highest level since 2009 to counter inflation heading above 10% and warned the UK economy was at risk of recession. Sterling was last at $1.2364, down 2.04% on the day, while the euro fell 0.7% to $1.0547 after dire German industrial orders data on Thursday. German industrial orders fell more than expected in March,driven mainly by declining orders from abroad as the war inUkraine hit manufacturing demand in Europe's biggest economy. "The German economy is programmed for a downturn," said Thomas Gitzel, chief economist at VP Bank. "The war in Ukraine, the supply chain problems and high rates of inflation are spoiling companies' appetite for investment," he said, adding that a recession was becoming increasingly likely. The dollar index rose 0.946% after falling sharply on Wednesday following the Fed's rate hike. It is up more than 7% so far this year. [/FRX] Bitcoin fell 8.61% to $36,266.98.

Investors also cheered a pledge by China's central bank for more monetary policy support to help businesses badly hit by the latest COVID-19 outbreak. U.S. gold futures settled up 0.4% at $1,875.70 an ounce, after paring gains of more than 2%. Oil prices rose as a stronger dollar offset supply concerns after the European Union's plans for new sanctions against Russia, including an embargo on crude in six months. Traders noted OPEC+ again rebuffed consumer calls for a faster pace of output rises. U.S. crude futures rose 45 cents to settle at $108.26 a barrel and Brent settled up 76 cents at $110.90 a barrel.

Tech giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. was among the top gainers, advancing 15% to its highest since early February. Live-streaming platform Bilibili Inc. jumped 6%, while e-commerce firm JD.com rose 7.7%. After a tech crackdown that ensnared sectors from e-commerce to fintech and even online education, Beijing has taken a more lenient line, introducing policies aimed at propping up the group and the Chinese economy. The Wall Street Journal reported that regulators are preparing to wrap up their investigation into Didi Global Inc. and restore the ride-hailing giant’s main apps to mobile stores as soon as this week. “The worst is behind us in terms of earnings and regulations,” said Adam Montanaro, investment director at Abrdn. The gaming approvals are a continuation of “the government’s more supportive tones and gestures toward the internet economy,” he said. Bruised Chinese internet stocks have emerged as a bright spot at a time when US peers are still gripped by prospects of higher interest rates. Easing of lockdown measures in major cities, together with a string of better-than-expected earnings, are also boosting risk sentiment. That said, Beijing’s persistence with its Covid Zero strategy remains a source of concern, and some bearish strategists, including DZ Bank AG’s Manuel Muehl, view the current optimism as premature.

View comments... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Expert77777777', 'Why a acquisition of Celsius is likely and the crypto industry cannot accept that you lose any funds', 139, '2022-07-04 00:32', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CelsiusNetwork/comments/vqsu7e/why_a_acquisition_of_celsius_is_likely_and_the/', 'As a European with years of M&A experience (and a small portion of my cryptos on Celsius) I think the most likely scenario is a follow: One company (or a consortium of companies) from either the crypto industry or traditional finance buys Celsius. Afterwards you can continue your deposit and loans with them under a new brand name without suffering any loses. The reason is simple. \n\nCelsius main asset is their 1.7 million customers and many of them are even high net worth or crypto friendly institutions. In an industry that spends hundreds of millions on super bowl ads, welcome bonuses or stadium sponsorship, it is worth hundreds of millions (or even billions in the long term) to get all these clients as depositors. Many of the customers also have high collateralized loans that is a an interest bearing asset for a buyer, and those who only have deposits has already taken the important step to move into crypto (and crypto banking) and it is way easier to get trading from them on your exchange or get them to accept other crypto offers generating future fees. Celsius also have many skilled employees (remember many companies are hiring today), they know marketing and how to win new customers (remember Nexo already copied Celsius on their loyalty program idea back in 2020). Even their Celsius token in treasury can jump 100-300% when they announce the rescue package or buyout and may also add profit for a buyer getting them. Also remember the PR as white knight saving the crypto industry is priceless. Everyone wants to be JP Morgan from the 1907 Wall Street finance crisis, but now for the crypto industry.\n\nOf course after a buyout there will be some withdrawal lock up time /limited withdrawal in the beginning, a new branding and some cost cutting and other synergies. \n\nBut a Celsius failure is not an option for the crypto industry. It is very important to know that in an industry on the brink of mass adoption (the next bull market is never far away and we are still early in the growth curve), they cannot let Celsius fail or have client accept any haircut at all. If that happens people will rush coins of exchanges (Uniswap is the winner, Binance the loser) and many people will never dare to move into this industry at all. The mass adoption could be years delayed (millions cannot do self custody), crypto prices will fall even more (including BNB and Nexo token) and the lack of trust in the industry is something that the industry cannot accept. Just look at the BlockFi press release (they said that they could not accept any customer haircut, putting a lot of pressure on Alex/Celsius to accept an offer putting depositor first) and if you watch the HBO movie "To big to fail" you very easy see how Wall Street M&A solved the 2008 financial crisis (LB failed due to a buyout from a UK Bank failed because of British regularly issues). Today lack of trust is the reason why BTC is below 40k, but this could fast change if they show that no ledning plattform clients loose any funds, and that the industry is more mature than in 2012-2018.\n\nFor likely buyers it is much better to file a hole and make the depositor whole, but they will firstly try to buy out the whole company, at least have an option for it in the bailout terms.\n\nThey buyers could be Nexo (will double their client base, wants to be Amazon of crypto lending, already have an open offer and don\'t want bank rush), Binance (need to counter FTX/Blockfi and also could very well be the big winner since most of Celsisus clients are not customer of their exchange so this is a very fast way of them to get more clients that think their exchange today is to little user-friendly), Kraken/Coinbase (they have also investor with deep pockets) or FTX (why not become a monopoly and the leak of 2 billion hole looks like negotiating tactic). Also for traditional finance (like Goldman etc) this is their best shot of moving into crypto banking and get many more as their private banking clients. I am not rulling out Square or Visa since all these companies could very well from an M&A perspective have many good reason to get all these clients and the Celsius infrastructure. Even for Musk the PR might be worth it and why not get a lot of high net worth clients into the future Tesla buyer database when you announce BTC acceptance again ?\n\nI think one of the reason for the silence, is that there are such talks already (paying down debt for selected creditors is even illegal if they prepare a bankruptcy and Alex is already in legal trouble if any loose funds here), and although Celsius may try to continue as their own brand and there are also a lot of investors that may get a good deal of buying a lot their shares at discounted valuation, I think a M&A solution will happen later even in that scenario (many PE-funds know this, and may be in the bailout picture) . \n\nThis is the "do or die" moment for the entire crypto industry, but to be clear: Celsius is the most attractive M&A object today (even with a possible 2 billion hole) due to their 1.7 million customers and employees, and don\'t underestimate the PR. Even today people talk about JP Morgan as the bailout savior of Wall Street (even the US) in 1907. The big question is, will it be Binance, Nexo, FTX, Square or Goldman Sach that becomes the savior and future kings of crypto by saving your funds?\n\nPS: By the way, the best way to support such efforts, are to support this in the Simon Dixon proposal.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CelsiusNetwork/comments/vqsu7e/why_a_acquisition_of_celsius_is_likely_and_the/', 'vqsu7e', [['u/Significant-Leopard9', 102, '2022-07-04 00:35', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CelsiusNetwork/comments/vqsu7e/why_a_acquisition_of_celsius_is_likely_and_the/ier2g03/', "Call me selfish but I don't care if Celsius survives, I just want my money back.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently trading at about $20,300, up 5% over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin plummeted below $19,000 at one point last week before regaining ground during a Friday rally.\nEther rose even more in Monday trading along with several other major altcoins as investors seemed more receptive to risk. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap was changing hands at more than $1,150, a nearly 8% gain over the previous day. Among other major cryptos, SOL and SAND jumped more than 9% and 8%, respectively.\nStill, the crypto Fear & Greed Index remained wedged in extreme fear territory as the industry absorbed its latest body blows, and analysts remained downcast about prices for at least the near-term, short of convincing evidence that inflation is under control and the global economy will not fall into recession. Bitcoin and ether are off more than 5% and 6% from their highs early last week, and most other cryptos are also well in the red over the same period.\n"Bitcoin has been under even pressure for almost all last week," FxPro Senior Market Analyst Alex Kuptsikevich wrote in an email. "A brief bounce at the beginning of the day on July 1 was more likely due to emotional excitement from the start of a new period (month, quarter, half-year) rather than fundamental changes in the situation."\nEther price weakness\nETH’s price weakness continues as The Merge, which will see the network change from a proof-of-work to proof-of-stake protocol, fast approaches. Trading was light as the U.S. celebrated its Independence Day. U.S. equity markets were closed in observance of the holiday, but European indexes were up with the Stoxx Europe 600 rising 0.5% on Monday.\nTo be sure, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao recently called the crypto winter a good time to buy bitcoin for investors who can wait for the next bull market. And a survey fromMastercard(MA) reported that over 51% of Latin Americans made at least one transaction with cryptocurrencies between March and April of this year.\nBut industry-wide cascade of bad news continued with crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capitalfilingfor bankruptcy late Friday after weeks of speculation that it was functionally insolvent; American-Israeli crypto lender, Celsuis,layingoff some 150 employees over the weekend as it battles a financial crisis that saw it halt customer withdrawals last month; crypto lending platform CoinLoanlimitingthe size of withdrawals; and another crypto lender, Singapore-based Vauld,suspendingall withdrawals, trading and deposits on its platform as it looks at restructuring options.\nTroubled economic backdrop\nKuptsikevich noted the troubled economic backdrop that is likely to continue bedeviling crypto markets.\n"The global picture remains bearish as stock markets show no glimpses of tightening financial conditions by central banks," Kuptsikevich wrote. "On the weekly charts, BTCUSD remains below the 200-week average, having failed a timid attempt to climb higher last week."\nS&P 500: 3,825 +1%\nDJIA: 31,097 +1%\nNasdaq: 11,127 +0.9%\nGold: $1,808 +.02%\nChina\'s Blockchain Revolution May Be Falling Short\nBlockchain technology is a national priority for Beijing,having been name-checkedin 2019 by People’s Republic of China President Xi Jinping as an important opportunity that needs to be seized, andmentioned asa key technological pillar of China’s five-year policy plan in 2021.\n“We must take the blockchain as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies,” Xi has been quoted as saying, outlining the government’s policy to integrate the technology into the IT fabric of the bureaucracy at large.\nAnd with this came theBlockchain Service Network(BSN), a state-backed infrastructure program that would allow enterprise developers to assemble and develop code to build blockchain-based applications with relative ease.\nOf course, this isn’t real blockchain per se. It’s a neutered version of that called "permissioned blockchain." No corporation or government, in China or elsewhere, wants their key data to be in a decentralized state they can’t control.\nAs theSouth China Morning Post reportedlast week, China is home to nearly 1,800 blockchain services companies that purport to be integrated into most parts of the economy and bureaucracy.\nCompanies are unconvinced\nThere’s a problem, though: Outside of China, companies have realized thatenterprise blockchain ispretty useless. As CoinDesk reported in early 2021, IBM (IBM), which is effectively synonymous with enterprise computing, hasdismantled its blockchain team. Shortly after,Microsoft (MSFT) discontinuedits Blockchain service on Azure cloud. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which once touted blockchain as part of a "smarter era of food safety," hasabandoned the initiative.\nTechnology market research firm Gartnernoted in its hype cycle forecastfor 2021 that “successful permissioned enterprise blockchain projects are scarce.”\nWhile things like decentralized finance, payments, and tokenization all have some appeal, Gartner said, enterprise blockchain is stuck because “most users are stuck trying to align use cases to the technology.”\n“The value of permissioned blockchain is hard to understand since it does not implement the most revolutionary aspect of public blockchains – i.e., trust minimization and elimination of central authority, achieved via decentralized consensus,”Gartner wrotein another post on the topic.\nIncentives\nIn China’s case, companies are doubling down on blockchain because of the manyincentives available, such as a $140 millionsubsidy fund in Guangzhou– the actual utility of the technology be damned. If the governmentthinks the technologywill help its economic ambitions and wants to throw money at it, companies will happily oblige and play along.\nThis is especially true if they can leverage this with investors to juice a funding round. At one time,China was hometo nearly 35,000 blockchain companies, according to publicly available corporate registration data. Of course many were firms jumping in by adding blockchain to their name to access development subsidies, as well as out-and-out frauds. That number, according to SCMP’s report, is down to around 1,800, so the herd has been thinned.\nStill, it\'s questionable what exactly these 1,800 companies are doing. On-chain data is key to verifying any claims involving blockchain. But with these permissioned chains, it\'s impossible to use a block explorer to inspect the data and verify claims of data volume, something that’s a central tenant for the “trust machine” that is blockchain.\n8:30 a.m. HKT/SGT(12:30 a.m. UTC):Jibun Bank Services PMI(June)\n9:45 a.m. HKT/SGT(UTC):Caixin (China) Services PMI(June)\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"All About Bitcoin"onCoinDesk TV:\nGenesis Exposure to 3AC, Caitlin Long on Crypto Industry Blowups\nIn one of the biggest scams in crypto history, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is charging South African bitcoin club Mirror Trading International with $1.7 billion fraud.

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company\'s prospectus supplement dated February 2, 2021 to its amended and restated short form base shelf prospectus dated January 4, 2022. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V:HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: HBFA) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) announces that it expects that its annual report on Form 40-F (the “Form 40-F”), which contains its annual audited financial statements, as well was its CEO and CFO certifications and its management discussion and analysis filing in Canada for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (collectively, the “Annual Filings”) will be released after the scheduled filing date of June 29, 2022. The Company currently anticipates being able to file the Annual Filings on or before July 15, 2022. As a result of the delayed filing, the Company received a letter dated July 1, 2022 (the "Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to not having timely filed the 40-F. The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of HIVE’s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Letter states that the Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1) within 60 calendar days. If the plan is accepted by Nasdaq, then Nasdaq can grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 40-F to regain compliance. The Company has been late in the preparation of the Annual Filings due to a combination of factors including (i) the challenge of meeting the shorter filing deadline for non-venture issuers in Canada due to the Company’s recent listing on the NASDAQ and (ii) the rapid increase in the Company’s growth and the accompanying increase in the number of transactions. The Company does not anticipate such difficulties with future filings and is making arrangements to satisfy all filing requirements for future year ends, including hiring additional finance staff.

That said, Amazon ( AMZN ) is considered a potential buyer. It’s another reason investors ought to consider AMZN stock. Closeup of the Amazon (AMZN) logo at Amazon campus in Palo Alto, California. The Palo Alto location hosts A9 Search, Amazon Web Services, and Amazon Game Studios teams. Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) is reportedly one of several massive businesses interested in buying Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA ), the creator of video game franchises such as FIFA , Battlefield , and Madden NFL . So if you own EA stock, the potential payday is exciting. And if you own AMZN stock, purchasing Electronic Arts seems like a natural target for the e-commerce giant — and here’s why. Like every potential deal, there are pros and cons to Amazon making a play to buy the video game producer. Thus, I’ll consider what they are, and by the end, you’ll have a better idea of whether Amazon ought to pull out its checkbook for Electronic Arts or not. So, let’s now dive in and take a closer look at AMZN stock. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips AMZN Amazon $2,232.91 It Probably Won’t Pay for EA With AMZN Stock The genesis of the Electronic Arts buyout started with Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA ) CEO and controlling shareholder Brian Roberts. He’s been looking to make a major acquisition ever since 2018, when he failed to buy Fox’s entertainment assets, losing out to Disney (NYSE: DIS ) and CEO Bob Iger. Then, the need to do a deal accelerated in January when Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) announced it would pay $68.7 billion for Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI ). Additionally, Microsoft is paying a 45% premium for ATVI. So, based on Electronic Arts’ current market capitalization of $38 billion, Amazon would likely have to pay at least $55 billion to snag EA. And with AMZN stock down almost $1,100 over the past year, it would most likely pay cash for the video game producer. With that in mind, according to Puck , Roberts wanted to buy Electronic Arts and merge it with Comcast’s NBCUniversal division, with Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson running the combined business. Negotiations are said to have fallen apart in the past month. Story continues However, according to Puck’s story, EA is still shopping itself, and Amazon is said to have held talks with the company. Beyond that, the details are murky. Moreover, EA stock is up more than 5% year-to-date (YTD), which is very good compared to the S&P 500 ; it’s lost almost 15% in 2022. Amazon Has a Lot of Cash But Not That Much At the end of March, Amazon had $66.4 billion in cash and marketable securities and $47.6 billion in long-term debt on its balance sheet for $18.8 billion in net cash. That’s down from $47.3 billion a year earlier. In other words, a year ago, it would have been better positioned to pay using cash on its balance sheet. It would also have been better positioned to pay for EA with stock. So, now it will have to thread the needle if it wants to woo Electronic Arts successfully. Also, with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and Disney also reportedly interested in EA, it seems like a longshot for Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to throw his company’s hat in the ring. After all, e-commerce has cooled significantly from 2020 when everyone was home and bored. However, Jassy did say in October 2021 that video games would become a more critical part of its business than music or video content. In fact, the company reportedly is spending $500 million annually to support the gaming business’s growth trajectory with little to show on its investment. GamesIndustry.Biz reported last October that Amazon’s New World game was only getting media buzz because Amazon Games launched it. According to DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole, anyone else would have gotten very little fanfare. It’s Never Paid More Than $14 Billion Right now, Amazon’s largest acquisition to date is the $13.7 billion it paid for Whole Foods in 2017. Thus, paying 4x that amount for a video game company doesn’t align with its corporate vision of growing organically through innovation and research. However, as the third-largest company in the S&P 500 by market cap, it would not be surprising if it did make a play for Electronic Arts despite the high cost of doing so. So, for Amazon, the question remains: to buy or not to buy. That said, I believe it’s too high a price to pay at this point in Amazon’s growth trajectory. It’s still got many levers to pull to grow the top and bottom line. However, at the very least, it’s another reason to get you off the fence if you’re debating whether to buy AMZN stock on its 2022 dip.

AAA reports prices across the United States now average a record $4.62 led by California’s eye-popping $6.17 per gallon due to its larger state gas tax and government mandated, greener but more costly fuel blend. More painful, at a handful of those service stations gas prices are topping the national minimum wage of $7.25 per hour! 7 Popular Penny Stocks to Avoid at All Costs So what’s to blame with the seemingly out-of-control jump in gas prices? As we’ll explore, it’s a perfect storm of factors, but not a situation without reasons to remain positive. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Covid’s Still Lingering Finger on Gas Prices Remember those viral videos of wildlife reclaiming outdoor spaces as people globally hunkered down indoors at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic? Dolphins swimming in Venice , monkeys window shopping at H&M or Macy’s and that sort of thing? The wheels of commerce had stopped, and Mother Nature made a comeback. It turns out most of that was fake. But during that same period the very real consequences of global oil suppliers drastically cutting production based on fearful visions of longer-lasting reduced demand and panicky negative crude futures contracts further weighing on those supply decisions have continued to impact the price of gas at the pump. By 2021, with global economies back at work much faster than expected, the supply/demand dislocation in energy prices was turned upside down on its head. As a result, gas prices which nationally crashed to less than $2 in the spring of 2020 were quickly put in the rearview mirror and racing higher as more dollars chased tighter supplies with less chance to be replenished. Gasoline Prices and Other Bad Actors Decisions and speculations made in error aren’t the only factors responsible for soaring gas prices in 2022. The war in Ukraine resulted in western sanctions against Russian imports and put already stretched oil inventories at record lows. Story continues At roughly 3%, the U.S. doesn’t meaningfully rely on the world’s third-largest oil producer for its gas refineries. But the global interconnectedness of the energy markets results in other countries’ demands and actions impacting gas prices. 7 Best Tech Stocks to Buy Amid the Market Turmoil And those politics aren’t the only driver in gas prices either. Other ongoing U.S. policies attempting to combat long-term climate change and further the use of renewable and cleaner alternative energy resources at the expense of fossil fuel production have amplified the rising gas prices individuals and businesses are struggling with today. What to Do About Rising Gas Prices So there’s more than a few reasons why gas prices are high. The good news? There are some things you can do. To be fair, the Biden administration is releasing supply from the country’s strategic reserves to help counter some of the negative impact tied to this year’s Russian sanctions. But that only helps slightly ( roughly 10 cents to 35 cents a gallon). Some states are also looking at suspending gas taxes temporarily. But with the levy averaging around 10% or less and gas prices having climbed more than 50% in just the last year, the relief is also largely negligible. All isn’t lost though. Adjusted for inflation, gas prices remain below 2008’s high. That’s good, right? And let’s be truly thankful it’s not 2020. Also, there is the choice to manage other discretionary purchases to cope with uncontrollable prices at the pump. Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ), for example, is a popular fall guy for cutting back on expenses, but also hardly alone. Lastly, with roughly 50% of car trips under three miles , walking, biking or e-biking sound like win, win strategies to help deal with rising prices at the pump.

The FOMC meeting minutes highlighted the risk of rate hikes having a ‘larger-than-expected effect on economic growth.’ Prior to the minutes, the markets had priced in a 75 basis point rate hike for July.

The threat of a global economic recession remains real, as does a likely shift in the crypto regulatory landscape. From a monetary policy perspective, while Fed concern over the impact of policy on economic growth prospects delivered relief, the Fed has stated its commitment to bringing inflation to target at any cost.

Following the previous week’s collapse of TerraUSD (UST) and TerraLUNA, regulatory chatter gathered momentum in the week to weigh on bitcoin (BTC) and the broader market. The pickup in regulatory chatter didn’t take the spotlight from the increased scrutiny of stablecoins and Terraform Labs. Do Kwon became the center of attention for a second consecutive week. It was a three-pronged attack for the CEO of Terraform Labs. News hit the wires of a 100 billion won tax fine for tax evasion, an investor lawsuit for damages of 1.4 billion won, and South Korean prosecutors investigating Do Kwon for running a Ponzi. Januaryreportsof South Korean prosecutors wanting to put crypto criminals away for life don’t bode well for Do Kwon. The increased attention from lawmakers tends to test investor support for cryptos. A bullish start to the week saw bitcoin (BTC) strike a Monday week high of $31,296 before hitting reverse. The reversal saw bitcoin fall to a Wednesday week low of $28,610 before retesting resistance at $30,500. For the week, bitcoin looks set for a 4% decline, which would mark an eighth consecutive weekly loss, its worst losing streak. Market angst over Fed monetary policy and the economic outlook, with the renewed threat of more stringent regulatory oversight, tested support for bitcoin and the broader market. The bearish sentiment was evident in the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, which fell to 8/100, its lowest level since March 2020. While recovering to 14/100 on Sunday, the Index remained deep in the “Extreme Fear” zone. Bitcoin’s decline was in line with the NASDAQ 100, which ended the week with a 3.82% slide. Things were not much better for the rest of the crypto top ten. In the week ending May 22,SOLandADAare heading for losses of 12.5% and 9.0%, respectively, withDOGE(-7.2%),ETH(-5.4%), andXRP(-6.0%) also on the way to weekly losses. BNBlooks set to buck the trend, however, with a 2.7% gain. The total crypto market cap fell from a start of the week $1,334 billion to a week low of $1,204 billion before partially recovering to $1,277 billion. Without surprise, regulators remained front and center, with investors expecting a united response to the collapse of Terra LUNA and stablecoin TerraUSD. G7: Officials resumed discussions on crypto regulations that ground to a halt in December 2020. Finance ministers called for crypto assets to fall under the same regulatory regimen as the rest of the financial system. Ministers called for tougher rules to combat money laundering and the disclosure of reserves. UK: The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced expediting plans to implement a regulatory framework for stablecoins. The UK Treasury will hand the FCA new powers to regulate crypto assets later this year. US: SEC Chair Gary Gensler talked of other cryptos mirroring Terra’s demise to harm investors. The SEC Chair did not predict a few failures but many. Gensler also pitched for additional resources to monitor the crypto industry after recently beefing up its enforcement team. Rostin Behnam, the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), raised concerns over the possible effect of a crypto crash on traditional assets and markets. Behnam also talked of adding resources and ramping up efforts to target crypto fraud and manipulation cases.

Investor reaction towards the US nonfarm payroll figures tested buying appetite, with bitcoin failing to hold onto the $22,000 handle. The total crypto market cap declined by $6.8 billion to record the second fall in seven sessions. It was a bearish Friday session for the crypto top ten. Bitcoin ( BTC ) ended the day flat, while SOL and ETH struggled. Fears of a recession eased, with US nonfarm payroll figures highlighting another surge in hiring. In June, nonfarm payrolls increased by 372k, following a 384k jump in May. However, the sharp increase in hiring also raised concerns that the Fed may hike rates more aggressively this month. Sentiment shifted despite the less hawkish FOMC meeting minutes. On Wednesday, the FOMC meeting minutes highlighted the risk of rate hikes having a ‘larger-than-expected effect on economic growth.’ Prior to the minutes, the markets had priced in a 75 basis point rate hike for July. However, the minutes revealed that participants judged a 50 or 75 basis point increase as appropriate. The nonfarm payroll numbers could allow the Fed to deliver another 75 basis point rate hike before taking the foot off the gas. In response to the NFP numbers, the NASDAQ 100 hit reverse before finding late support to eke out a 0.12% gain.

Story continues The Crypto Market Movers and Shakers from the Top Ten and Beyond ADA (-2.51%) and DOGE (-2.07%) led the way down, with losses of 2.51% and 2.07%, respectively. ETH also struggled, falling by 1.94%. BTC slipped by 0.09%, with BNB (-0.33%), SOL (-0.90%), and XRP (-0.88%) seeing modest losses.

Data from Google Trends shows that the spike in searches coincides with bitcoin’s latest price capitulation, which saw it fall from above $30,000 at the start of June to below $20,000 this weekend. It is the latest severe drop in a series of price falls that began last November when bitcoin was trading at record highs close to $69,000. Previous price crashes following record-breaking rallies in 2013 and 2017 also saw searches for the term rise in the US and throughout the world, though Google’s publicly-available data is not detailed enough yet to see whether the number of searches was comparable. The trend, first spotted by trader A lex Krü ger , follows pronouncements from prominent bitcoin skeptics like Peter Schiff that “bitcoin will not recover”. Google searches for ‘bitcoin dead’ tend to surge when the price crashes (Google Trends) One website that tracks the number of times the death of bitcoin has been pronounced by the media also saw a flurry of reports during the latest downturn. The site 99 Bitcoins has registered more than 455 obituaries since bitcoin’s inception in 2009. In its 13-year history, bitcoin has seen record-breaking price rallies roughly every four years, with its latest all-time high hit on 8 November 2021. This weekend, when bitcoin fell below the 2017 all-time high of $20,000, it marked the first time the cryptocurrency’s price had fallen below the all-time high of a previous cycle. Falling below this level means a key psychological level of support no longer exists. The extent of previous price capitulations following all-time highs in 2013 and 2017 have also spooked investors, with both corrections seeing losses of more than 80 per cent. After dropping below $20,000, bitcoin is currently only down by just over 70 per cent from its 2021 high. Crypto market analysts have attributed the latest downturn to rising inflation and interest rates, which have resulted in investors selling off riskier assets like cryptocurrencies and tech stocks. Story continues “The current market conditions don’t provide much room for optimism,” said Simon Peters, an analyst at the online trading platform eToro. “Valuations are severely depressed after a buoyant performance in the past 18 months. We’re now back in the region of valuations as they were in 2020, but prices are still moving above levels we saw just 18 months ago. “While pointing out the long-term perspective on any asset isn’t always easy reading for investors who bought in at higher levels, what is critical here is that any long-term investment case made for the cryptoasset should remain when the underlying ideas are considered and historic price trends are factored in.”... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/The_Pathetic_Rookie', 'Who is the most popular P101 Companion', 24, '2022-07-09 00:53', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Pirate101/comments/vun6cl/who_is_the_most_popular_p101_companion/', "I was wondering who the most popular companion, and the general opinion of ALL of the companions, so I decided to hold popularity polls for them.

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:** ["Photo Illustrations by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty Greg—and we’ll just call him Greg, because he’s a little unsure about having his full name out there, for reasons that will soon become apparent—knew nothing about bitcoin when a friend told him it could change his life. A 54-year-old ex-pat working for a major international company in Europe, Greg had generally played it pretty safe with his investments. But in the fall of 2018, a college buddy told him about a man named David Saffron, who he claimed could double his money in crypto in a matter of weeks. “I resisted, I said I didn’t understand it, I didn’t understand crypto currency at all,” Greg told The Daily Beast. “But he kept showing me screenshots of David’s platform, that he was accruing more and more.” Greg followed the price of bitcoin for the next few months, and when it stayed relatively stable, he reconsidered his skepticism. His friend introduced him to Saffron, who told him he was a computer programmer who had invented an artificial-intelligence trading bot that could beat the market. If Greg bought three bitcoins from him, Saffron said—the equivalent of about $12,000—he would give him 7.5 bitcoins back in three months. Greg called his bank and told them to wire the money to the bank account for a company in Wyoming. The bank was hesitant—the transaction seemed fishy—but Greg was insistent. They wired the funds. “I said, ‘Geez, this seems exciting, it seems sexy,’” Greg said of the investment platform. “It felt like a magical world we were getting into, it felt like cutting edge stuff.” “I was like, one time I’ll roll the dice,” he added. “And I crapped out.” David Saffron presented himself as a kind of computer programming progeny, a whiz kid who had invented a bot that could make 17,500 crypto transactions an hour. Photo Illustrations by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty The man Greg wired the money to, David Saffron, was a 49-year-old Australian living in Nevada. Before starting an investment company, Saffron was perhaps the least infamous member of his family: His immediate family all appeared on a 2011 episode of the Gordon Ramsay show Kitchen Nightmares in which his father, Alan, admitted to taking $250,000 from his son to keep his restaurant afloat. (David does not appear in the episode, the son in question is his brother, Daniel.) His grandfather was a notorious Sydney underworld figure known as “Mr. Sin,” who started a network of underground clubs selling prostitutes and illegal booze, and served time for federal tax evasion. Story continues Saffron’s career was less remarkable. One LinkedIn page lists him as the CEO of “A9 models,” which has one post and nine followers on Instagram; another lists him as the marketing manager for “WizKidsNow.” California business records list him as the owner of an S&M performance venue in Los Angeles called Master D’s Academy of Sin, whose Facebook page features videos of Saffron spanking women and pouring paint down their naked backs. His own Facebook page refers to him as “Master D” and features a photo of him in a bright red suit and matching fedora. To potential investors, however, Saffron presented himself as a kind of computer programming progeny, a whiz kid who had invented a bot that could make 17,500 crypto transactions an hour. According to a federal indictment unsealed this month, he falsely claimed to have been the lead developer for the Uber and Snapchat apps, and to have written the security software used by most U.S. banks. (According to a separate CFTC complaint, he also claimed to have invested for Mark Cuban.) He lived lavishly, using rented mansions in the Hollywood Hills with pools and private chefs to host opulent parties, according to investors interviewed by The Daily Beast. He posted on social media about eating at expensive steakhouses and traveled with a team of personal security guards. One investor, Scott Freeman, said he had to submit a background check just to get into Saffron’s house. Inside the Flamboyant Life of a Wannabe Crypto Kingpin According to investors who spoke to The Daily Beast, Saffron’s glamorous lifestyle helped convince them to trust him with their money. If he was this rich, they thought, he must be doing something right. One investor said he put in $300 to start, but was still skeptical about Saffron’s business, so he asked one of Saffron’s security guards whether the guy was legit. The security guard told him that he had been suspicious, too, until his co-worker invested and saw great returns on his money. The investor kept his money in. Saffron’s pitch was simple, according to the indictment: Investors gave him cryptocurrency, or the money to buy it for them, and he used his trading bot to make returns of 500-600 percent. Investors got 150-300 percent of those returns, and Saffron kept the rest for his trouble. To prove that it worked, he ran “tests,” in which he took a small amount of money from potential investors and then delivered them returns within hours or days. “I know who to call, and I just know how to do things, but I don’t know this town because I’m integrated in Los Angeles,” he told potential investors at an out-of-town presentation in 2018, according to the CFTC. “So you guys know this town. Perfect. Now I can make you all damn rich.” Saffron called the investment program the “Circle Society” and maintained message boards where he posted frequent updates—as well as memes, music videos, and predictions about various doomsday events, according to chat records reviewed by The Daily Beast. He offered various packages, with elaborate names like “Trip The Light Fantastic Plan” and “BTC Star Trek ‘The Motion Picture’ Double Plan,” according to chat records. The plans were said to generate returns in anything from 22 to 90 days, and came with taglines such as “Stare down the endless void But come out a winner.” Investors said savvy users realized quickly that the daily plans, which paid out 3 percent per day directly into users’ crypto wallets, seemed to be the most lucrative. That’s what Greg signed up for shortly after joining in February 2019. He was still skeptical of the program, he said, but the money kept showing up in his wallet every day, “like clockwork.” At Saffron’s urging, he reinvested all his earnings back into the program. Over time, Greg invested a total of 8.5 bitcoins in the program, and his Circle Society account said he had earned 96 coins—the equivalent of nearly $2 million today. “It seemed too good to be true,” Greg recalled, “but I shut my brain off and said, ‘Let’s just roll with it.’” Saffron maintained message boards where he posted frequent updates—as well as memes, music videos, and predictions about various doomsday events. When he couldn’t send payments to investors he once claimed he was being held hostage and sent a video of himself tied up with rope to the group as evidence (right). Photo Illustrations by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty One day, in March 2019, the money dried up. Investors said there were no more daily payments, just increasingly bizarre excuses: Payments were suspended because of too many unverified transactions on the blockchain; investors had hit the “payout” button too many times and locked their accounts; a solar flare required Saffron to shut down the website for several days. At one point, two investors told The Daily Beast, Saffron claimed he could not send payments because he was being held hostage. He sent a video of himself tied up with rope to the group as evidence. As the excuses multiplied, some investors became suspicious. A few, like Nevada-based attorney Brett Marshall, started calling out Saffron in the group, asking whether they would ever get paid, according to those who spoke to The Daily Beast. Saffron responded by threatening the detractors with legal action and making new promises to the group: big-time outside investors, a coming payout he deemed the “June balloon.” (When the promised payout failed to materialize, his detractors deemed the next month “Ju- lie .”) Greg was one of the investors growing skeptical, and he urgently needed his money back to pay for the refinancing of his house. He says he told Saffron at least 10 times that he would walk away if Saffron just returned his initial investment. Every time, he said, Saffron promised to pay up the next day; every time, the money failed to materialize. Eventually, Greg stopped asking. After a few weeks of this, a few other investors decided to take things into their own hands. They pulled the contact information of everyone in the chat and reached out to them individually, asking them if they wanted to join a private chat. Some declined, afraid that Saffron would sue them or refuse to give their money back. But many more agreed, and the group eventually swelled to over 150 members. Together, they began piecing together what had happened. “Everyone had their own little facet, their own little story,” said Marshall, the Nevada attorney. “And we were able to pull it together and say, ‘Wow, alright, this is what he’s done.’” The full scope of the scheme would not be revealed for months. But the group members took what evidence they had to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission—the government agency that regulates derivatives markets—and begged them to take the case. They even created a form that investors could fill out and send directly to the CFTC, identifying themselves as victims, and pinned it to the top of their chat. When the case started, the CFTC had six or eight victims, Marshall said. When it ended, they had 179. Even as the case progressed, Saffron was enticing other investors into yet another scam, according to the indictment. In September 2020, despite a preliminary injunction barring him from soliciting or accepting funds for trading pools, Saffron allegedly encouraged an acquaintance to invest in a company called Cloud9Capital, an outside wealth management fund in which he claimed t **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [28936.36, 29047.75, 29283.10, 30101.27, 31305.11, 29862.92, 30425.86, 28720.27, 30314.33, 29200.74, 29432.23, 30323.72, 29098.91, 29655.59, 29562.36, 29267.22, 28627.57, 28814.90, 29445.96, 31726.39, 31792.31, 29799.08, 30467.49, 29704.39, 29832.91, 29906.66, 31370.67, 31155.48, 30214.36, 30112.00, 29083.80, 28360.81, 26762.65, 22487.39, 22206.79, 22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63, 20104.02, 19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The story is simple, submit to the same standard audit that U.S.-based companies face in order to remain on US exchanges or face delisting. In my mind, if NIO or any other Chinese stock is delisted from a U.S. exchange it’s a big knock on the stock itself. So, I find it a bit strange that any potential delisting can be spun as anything other than a big negative. However, I was reading a piece of commentary which noted that NIO is on a list of 80 Chinese companies that the SEC has compiled for a potential cull. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips The news that NIO found itself on the list led to a substantial drop in stock price. That seems logical enough: Investors should be seriously worried that the company may have legitimate compliance issues. • 7 of the Most Undervalued Mid-Cap Stocks to Buy Now That makes it very difficult to rely on the fundamental figures that we do have regarding the company because they simply haven’t been audited. What I take issue with is afollow-on ideain the article which states that if NIO lists on the Singapore Exchange, that will act as a hedge against any negativity that the U.S. delisting news entails. That article quotedMorgan Stanley(NYSE:MS) analyst Tim Hsiao as having the belief that a listing is “likely to alleviate investor concerns.” I fundamentally disagree with that idea. If NIO is listed on the Singapore Exchange that does little to alleviate any fears about a delisting on U.S. exchanges. In fact, I think it would legitimately arouse fears that NIO has been hiding something all along. U.S. investors would be left feeling that they were some sort of cash cow for the company in its early days. All of that capital would flee back to Asia and be trading in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Overall, the total crypto market cap has lost more than two-thirds of its value since peaking in November, according toCoinmarketcap, falling from $3 trillion at its apex to $978 billion as of Monday afternoon New York time. After briefly dipping below $22,641 per unit midday Monday, bitcoin (BTC) pared back to $23,404 by the afternoon, a loss of 16.8% in the last 24 hours and at a level not seen since mid-December 2020, according to Coinmarketcap. Meanwhile, ether (ETH) dropped 18.1% to $1,239.74 for the same period. The pressure in the crypto market, which began over the weekend, forced Celsius, a crypto lender, to halt withdrawals, swaps, and transfers on Sunday evening, in a move one industry insider called "risking insolvency." On Monday morning, Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, halted bitcoin transactions,according to its founder and CEO, Changpeng Zhao. In the past, the exchange and its competitors have halted trading during times of market volatility such as last month amidst the collapse of Terra’s stablecoin UST. By 2 p.m. easter time, Binanceannounced through Twitterthat its bitcoin withdrawals "are back online." Here's a roundup of other crypto movers. Other major cryptocurrencies such as Binance's BNB token (-14.59%) Solana (-14.38%), XRP (-12%), Cardano’s ADA token (-9.09%), Polkadot's DOT token (-10%), Avalanche's AVAX token (-14.25%) and the meme coin Shiba Inu (-10.46%) have pared losses slightly less than bitcoin. On the other hand, sell offs in Tron (-17.49%), , Dogecoin (-17.37%) and Polygon's MATIC (-17.35%) are underperforming bitcoin and more closely following ether's drawdown. The total crypto market volume over the past 24 hours has accelerated to $148.41 billion, a 89.46% increase, according to Coinmarketcap. Trading in decentralized finance (DeFi) currently makes up 7.18% or $10.66 billion of total on the day volumes. As investors seek havens from the volatility, stablecoins made up $131.75 billion or 88.77% of the total market's 24-hour volume (a $5 billion decline from noon). Total circulating market capitalization fell 0.83% to $158.61 billion, according toDefi Llama. As for bitcoin, Yuya Hasegawa, a market analyst with Tokyo-based crypto exchange, Bitbank told Yahoo Finance over email, “the selling pressure will likely continue until we see the results of the FOMC meeting, it could go further down to the $20,000 psychological level." Bitcoin's current lower level of support rests around its 200-week moving average of $22,400 per coin according to Hasegawa. David Hollerith covers cryptocurrency for Yahoo Finance.

Crypto markets were mostly trading in the green on Wednesday morning even as another crypto lender declared bankruptcy. Voyager Digital, a crypto lender, filed for bankruptcy late Tuesday, becoming the second high-profile crypto firm to do so in the last week. The Toronto-based company filed forChapter 11 bankruptcy protectionin the Southern District Court of New York, estimating that it had more than 100,000 creditors and somewhere between $1 and $10 billion in assets. It also recorded the same range for its liabilities. (More on this down below inMarket Moves.) This comes after hedge fund Three Arrows Capitalfiled for bankruptcya few days ago after weeks of speculation about the company's solvency. Bitcoin (BTC) was up 2% on the day, trading at $20,000. Ether (ETH) was trading up on the day slightly at $1,100. Altcoins took the lead, with Avalanche’sAVAXup 6% on the day. The virtual gaming ecosystem, Sandbox (SAND), was up 10%. Meanwhile,CoinDesk’s Krisztian Sandorreportedthat the crypto lender Celsuis has been aggressively repaying debt on one of the largest decentralized finance protocols, blockchain data shows. This is perhaps in effort to get back bitcoin-equivalent tokens that had been posted on the platform as collateral. Since July 1, according to theon-chain data,Celsius has paid down $183 million of its collateralized debt to Maker. The troubled crypto lender is also reportedlycutting jobsto stave off its liquidity crisis. Over in traditional markets, the pound has slid to a two-year low against the dollar.

By Nikhilesh De and Danny Nelson Crypto lender Voyager Digital filed for bankruptcy late Tuesday, becoming the second high-profile crypto firm to do so in recent days. The Toronto-based Voyager filed forChapter 11 bankruptcy protectionsTuesday in the Southern District of New York, estimating that it had more than 100,000 creditors and somewhere between $1 and $10 billion in assets. It also recorded the same range for its liabilities. The company believes that “funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors,” according to the filing. Voyager Digital Holdings, Inc.,Voyager Digital, LLCandVoyager Digital Ltd. all filed for bankruptcy. Crypto companies – and lenders in particular – have faced solvency issues in recent weeks, with several stopping customers from withdrawing their funds.Celsiuskicked off this trend last month, announcing in mid-June that it would suspend withdrawals.CoinLoan,CoinFLEXandVoyager itselfall announced restrictions or outright halts on withdrawals in recent days. Voyager joins Three Arrows Capital in filing for bankruptcy. Three Arrows, however, filed a Chapter 15 petition tied to an ongoing liquidation effort ordered by a court in the British Virgin Islands. According towriter Frances Coppola, Voyager’s loan book accounted for nearly half of its total assets, and nearly 60% of that loan book was composed of loans to Three Arrows. In astatementposted online after this article was published, Voyager CEO Steven Ehrlich said reorganizing the company "is the best way to protect" the company's assets, and pointed the finger at Three Arrows for some of its woes. Following that statement, Ehrlich posted onTwitterthat "Customers with crypto in their account(s) will receive in exchange a combination of the crypto in their account(s), proceeds from the 3AC recovery, common shares in the newly reorganized Company, and Voyager tokens." ‘FDIC’ protections? The filing comes as industry observers increase their scrutiny of Voyager’s business practices, particularly how the Canadian-listed firm said in marketing materials that investors' deposits were protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance. While FDIC insurance would indeed protect bank-held cash deposits up to $250,000, it would not cover cash converted to stablecoins. Commentators including Coppola havecalledVoyager’s marketing around its handling of deposits misleading. Moreover, the FDIC insurance kicks in in the event of a bank failure – in this case, Voyager was banked by Metropolitan Commercial Bank. There is no protection in the event of a Voyager failure.

The consensus now seems to be that it is NOT. But I will share with you why this is wrong. \n\nPeople measure Bitcoin from the all time high to the (current) price. This is mistake. Instead, to successfully determine whether it is an inflation hedge or not, they should measure from the point in which the government started aggressively *printing* money (spending). \n\nThat will guide you to the timeframe of about March 2020. If we measure Bitcoin’s price from March 2020 until now then we are up ~200%. A very good amount above the current inflation rate, both real (8.6%) and *actually* real (>14%). \n\nNow let’s take a look at the classic example of a so called inflation hedge, Gold.

Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. **Today's Key News:** ['Good morning. Here’s what’s happening: Prices: Bitcoin fell for a fifth day in a row, while the dollar and euro continued to flirt with parity. Traders are looking for clues about inflation in a major economic release expected Wednesday in the U.S. Insights: Valuing NFTs might be more art than science. What\'s impossible to deny is that prices for ether (ETH) – used to value many NFTs – have tanked this year. Sam Reynolds explains. Sign up for First Mover , our daily newsletter putting the latest moves in crypto markets in context. Prices ● Bitcoin ( BTC ): $19,361 −2.7% ● Ether ( ETH ): $1,043 −4.4% ● S&P 500 daily close: 3,818.80 −0.9% ● Gold: $1,724 per troy ounce −0.4% ● Ten-year Treasury yield daily close: 2.96% −0.03 Bitcoin, ether and gold prices are taken at approximately 4pm New York time.

Information about CoinDesk Indices can be found at coindesk.com/indices. Bitcoin ( BTC ) fell for a fifth straight day, and traders are starting to worry that maybe the market hasn\'t reached a bottom, as some analysts were hoping as recently as last week. It might just be that there are still too many negative forces pushing prices lower. The crypto term of choice is "FUD" – fear, uncertainty and doubt – but Michael Venuto, a co-founder of Toroso Investments, used the term "wall of worry" on CoinDesk\'s "First Mover" TV program on Tuesday. The bugbears range from the crypto industry\'s credit crisis – CoinDesk\'s Krisztian Sandor has been all over liquidity-strapped Celsius Network\'s maneuvers to free up collateral by paying off decentralized finance loans – to the Federal Reserve\'s inflation-fighting plans. (Helene Braun\'s preview of Wednesday\'s scheduled release of the U.S. consumer price index for June is here .) "We\'re just climbing a wall of worry," Venuto said. "We lack regulation, for clarity, to help get the institutional money in, we are dealing with; a Fed that is no longer accommodative. We\'ve got deleveraging of all things. And then we\'ve got a whole bunch of trusted third parties that came in to help people access to crypto markets, and as usual, they shouldn\'t have been trusted." Story continues In traditional markets, U.S. stocks slid, and Asian equity futures signaled modest gains at Wednesday\'s open. The big story in foreign-exchange markets this week continued to be the dollar\'s flirtation with euro " parity " – a 1-to-1 ratio. According to CNBC , the euro\'s slide against the dollar is a result of Europe\'s energy-supply crisis stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war and sanctions on Russia. There are also concerns that a weak economy might make it harder for the European Central Bank to raise interest rates – making the region\'s debt instruments less attractive than those in the U.S., where the Federal Reserve has been raising rates aggressively.

On Twitter, suddenly Three Arrows Capital was the victim of having its NFT ( non-fungible token ) fund, Starry Night Capital, undervalued . DappRadar said Starry Night’s wallet was worth about $3.7 million as of Tuesday. NFT Twitter didn\'t like the figure and thinks it should be worth more. Feedback to the article came in fast when it was first posted on Friday saying it was worth less than $5 million, and was often furious. DMs from a reader Blame was put on the DappRadar valuation tool only using the floor price of an NFT, or the lowest price you can “buy in” to a project. But that’s not true as DappRadar’s algorithm also takes into account the last sale price as well, when available. A screenshot from DappRadar showing an NFT in Starry Night\'s wallet with its last sale price DappRadar says its tool uses a machine-learning algorithm to determine appropriate prices based on market conditions. "Our algorithm calculates what is the price of an NFT, which is consistent with the historical sales data. It is not precisely predicting, but finding a price that makes sense for the current market conditions. This methodology allows the investor to evaluate how good the trade price is, whilst also assessing the importance of the sale within the collection’s market," a DappRadar spokesperson told CoinDesk via email. Tools that only use floor prices for the collection value the wallet at much less. Value.app , which tracks the floor prices exclusively, puts the wallet\'s value at around $1.6 million. An alternative valuation of the wallet from Value.app NonFungible.com sent us an even higher valuation for the wallet: $19.7 million. But that comes with a massive caveat. This figure uses the USD price at the date of the sale, Maxime Laglasse, NonFungible.com’s head of content, said in an email. So that means if an NFT was purchased for 750 ethers in late October, when one ether was worth $4,000, NonFungible.com would maintain that the NFT is still worth $3 million, even though those 750 ethers are now worth closer to $867,770. “An art asset bought for $3 million months ago can\'t be devalued because the ETH/USD price lost 50-60%,” Laglasse said. “Only an NFT sale can make the price move in a way or another. That\'s up to the last buyer to sell or not his asset to make this price move.” The problems with that argument are that NFT sales are denominated in ether and million-dollar JPEGs are a product of the peak decadence of the bull market. You can’t maintain that an NFT is still worth the last price it was paid for in ether when that ether buys a lot fewer dollars now than it did last year. If you account for the devaluation of ether, the underlying asset NFTs are denominated in from the time that Three Arrows filled up its wallet until now, there’s an average decline of 70%. That would put NonFungible,com’s valuation closer to $6 million than $19.7 million which is in range of DappRadar’s figure. And that’s only accounting for the decline in numbers, the quantitative. It’s excluding the qualitative: Is the market still interested in NFTs the same way it was at the height of last year’s bull run? Of course, all of that is ignoring wash trading (market manipulation designed to create the illusion of demand ), which runs rampant in the industry and makes up most of the volume on exchanges such as LooksRare . What’s the real value when so much of it is fake? Another data point: CryptoPunks You can get a sense of this gap between perception and reality by diving into the data provided on the CryptoPunk collection (considered to be a blue-chip NFT) by a project called DeepNFTValue , which was recently profiled on CoinDesk . DeepNFTValue uses an artificial intelligence-based pricing algorithm to determine a CryptoPunk’s value (the team is expanding it to Bored Apes next) and compare it with the asking price and time on the market. DeepNFTValue\'s valuation of CryptoPunk #8484 “Only about 10% of Punks have active bids and offers at any point in time, and only a few hundred Punks trade on a given day. Most Punks don\'t sell for months and have many have never been exchanged for ETH since they were acquired” DeepNFTValue said. DeepNFTValue\'s list of some of the CyberPunks for sale Doing a deep dive into its numbers shows a massive gap between the average seller’s asking price for a CryptoPunk and the value prescribed by DeepNFTValue’s algorithm. Overall, for the nearly 775 CryptoPunks DeepNFTValue tracks, the average delta (difference between the asking price and value assigned by the algorithm) is 907%. The average time on the market for a CryptoPunk is 152 days, with about 40% of the NFTs being on the market for six months or longer. When you narrow down the tracker to only the CryptoPunks that have been on the market for a month, that delta in price narrows to 140%. Interestingly, however, when you look at the two- to four-month period the average delta shrinks to 48%, suggesting that when punk holders really want to sell they will tempter their expectations. It\'s tough to blame anyone for wanting to sell, especially in a bear market when his other positions might have been rekt – crypto slang for wiped out – because of the broader downturn. And for wash trading on CryptoPunks themselves? Well, it runs rampant. Using Nansen’s wash trading filter , we can see that the filtered 24-hour volume is 82 ethers while the unfiltered volume, including wash trading, is closer to 2,304 ethers. Nansen\'s wash trading filter turned off Nansen\'s wash trading filter turned on Despite the NFT community’s enthusiasm for the asset class, lots of the demand remains fake. Think about this: If there was such deep liquidity and demand, why do firms that offer loans against collateralized NFTs only offer a loan-to-value ratio of 30-50%? Perhaps the market has determined that JPEGs aren’t the stoic asset class that the loudest members of the NFT community think they are. Three Arrows\' founders are due in court this week, and the hedge fund\'s creditors are requesting a list of wallets, crypto and other assets they have. Let\'s see the valuation they put on these NFTs then. UPDATE (July 13, 10:30 UTC): Updates with a response from DappRadar on how its tool works.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) described the case as its “largest ever fraud scheme case involving bitcoin.” It alleged MTI’s key figure, Cornelius Johannes Steynberg, accepted 29,421 BTC from 23,000 Americans “and even more throughout the world” for a commodity pool scheme he wasn't licensed to run. Victims of the scheme believed they were investing their bitcoin in a high-tech investment club “to grow your bitcoin,” charging documents said, citing MTI’s statements. Steynberg allegedly said MTI’s algorithms created “passive income” with 10% returns a month. Referring friends and family yielded a bonus, the documents said. The reality of MTI was less savory, the CFTC alleged. Steynberg failed to make proper disclosures, lied about the existence of a “trading bot,” never made a profitable forex swap and provided clients with phony account statements, the regulator said. His alleged scheme ran from May 2018 until early 2021 when MTI entered bankruptcy proceedings and liquidation in South Africa. It faced mounting regulatory pressure in the U.S. and in South Africa beginning in 2020. Steynberg himself is an international fugitive, court filings said. His residence is in South Africa, but he was “recently detained” in Brazil on an Interpol warrant, according to the CFTC. MTI and its lawyers weren't immediately available for comment... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/ThrowAwaydntopnddins', "11 years of hating Bitcoin on Reddit. Let's look back on the predictions of anti-Bitcoiners (Adjusted from a post by u/fan_of_hakiksexydays almost a year ago today, to reflect Bitcoin's continued progress since then)", 44, '2022-07-13 01:35', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/vxovbc/11_years_of_hating_bitcoin_on_reddit_lets_look/', 'Bitcoin will crash below $200 (what is being said every year since the past 5 years)" Very close guys, but it\'s bouncing around $19K right now. I\'m sure you\'ll be right one day Little Tooths.\n\n​\n\n\\-"Bitcoin will eventually be worth its real value- $0". Not looking like it will happen this year. And as long as you have a few people in the world still running Bitcoin and still exchanging it, it will never be 0.\n\n​\n\n\\-"No one will be accepting Bitcoin". More than 15,174 retailers accept direct Bitcoin transactions directly worldwide, and 36,659 Bitcoin atms, so 51,833 businesses accepting Bitcoin through their shops via directly or via Bitcoin atms today. And now with Paypal, Strike\'s partnership with the largest payment processors in the world to use their lightning network integrations where transactions cost less than a penny and settle faster than Visa and Master card combined, and crypto cards, that number is almost limitless. (1) 2 years ago as of 2020 36% of small-medium businesses in the US accept Bitcoin as payment, and that\'s just the US. The number is much larger today.\n\n​\n\n\\-"No one is using crypto for payments". While the number of transactions has increased, no one really knows how much is used for retail transactions. But according to a BitPay survey, 57% of crypto holders and former crypto holders, have used crypto for a retail purchase in the past year. (2) Hell, Sovereign wealth funds are showing interest in it this year because they\'re noticing a substantial rise in Bitcoin real estate and business sales globally, making it easier to transact than with Dollars that can be frozen whenever the US finds someone guilty for whatever arbitrary thing they choose to ban people from their payment systems. Thanks US, blocking Russia, and so many others from using your dollar has been the biggest Bitcoin marketing to sovereign wealth funds today, hell we even have a Prince working on Bitcoin\'s adoption by sovereign nations now thanks to that move. The US shooting itself right in the financial foot so Bitcoin can run in its place.\n\n​\n\n\\-"Bitcoin has no intrinsic value". It has no physical intrinsic value, but it\'s the gold standard of an entire tech industry. It\'s backed by an entire industry of businesses, real world usage, institutions, and technology. Something bigger than a country. And it may not be backed by anything physical to make you trust it. But it\'s backed by something more solid than rocks: math. Hell, even well known Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff will accept it at his bank, even for the proposes of buying out his bank outright, proving it has value. For if it didn\'t, he would not accept it.\n\n​\n\n\\-"Tether is the only reason the price of Bitcoin goes up, and it will destroy Bitcoin". While Tether is shady and obviously full of shit, it probably won\'t tank the price of Bitcoin if it ever gets delisted. There\'s now many stablecoin alternatives. And we\'ve already seen what happens to the market when a top 5 coin gets delisted, when XRP got delisted from major exchanges. Also 2 Berkley professors have already proven that Tether isn\'t what causes the price of Bitcoin to go up. (3)\n\n​\n\n\\-"You will never get your \'institutional investors\', that\'s a pipe dream". Welcome to 2022 and our pipe dream only growing bigger and stronger as every day goes by and more institutions dip their toes in the water. You think you\'ve seen anything yet? Just wait until they reach the fomo faze after a whole cycle of experiencing this warm financial jacuzzi in a blizzarding world of cold dying fiat getting frozen from anyone\'s control anytime they don\'t play friendly with a politician.\n\n​\n\n\\-"Bitcoin will be banned". It\'s been tried, it\'s been done. To no success. If it was gonna be banned successfully, it would have been done already. It\'s going to be harder now that there\'s more adoption, acceptance, more citizen holding it, and more importantly, an increasing number of powerful rich people, businesses, institutions, and countries invested in it now. With an increasing number of powerful and influential people, politicians, presidents, and CEOs with a stake in it, it\'s just not likely to happen now.\n\n​\n\n\\-"Bitcoin is a ponzi". Just because you want to sell something for more than you paid, doesn\'t make it a Ponzi. By definition a Ponzi would need a company or person at the top. Bitcoin is a peer to peer network with no person or company in control. By definition it\'s also subversive scheme, selling a fake stock that they don\'t own, and not upfront about what it\'s doing, with no transparency. Bitcoin is one of the most transparent things. You want to see a real Ponzi Scheme, check out the dollar: [https://medium.com/coinmonks/the-modern-financial-system-is-a-debt-based-pyramid-scheme-and-an-investment-based-ponzi-scheme-e37c4154b9](https://medium.com/coinmonks/the-modern-financial-system-is-a-debt-based-pyramid-scheme-and-an-investment-based-ponzi-scheme-e37c4154b9)\n\n​\n\n\\-"No country is ever going to accept Bitcoin as its currency". Oops...El Salvador, the Central African Republic, several independent zones, already do, with Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Russia, and so many more already working on legislation to make it so in their countries as well.\n\n​\n\n\\-"Bitcoin is just a fad and will die out". It\'s been 13 years. And it\'s going stronger than ever. Can\'t wait for another decade of r/Buttcoin giving us some brilliant predictions.Maybe it\'s time to trade those bags of salt for bags of crypto.\n\n​\n\nThank you u/fan_of_hakiksexydays for your original post inspiring this adaptation of your post to fit the modern day\'s progress since your post that was done only a year ago today.\n\n​\n\n**Edit: It has come to my attention that those Buttcoiners are so Butthurt about their wrong predictions on Bitcoin, a technology they don\'t even understand, over the last 11 years, that they\'re now Brigading this post to try and manipulate both its votes down, and manipulate their comments\' votes up on this post\'s thread.

The exchange’s U.S. counterpart, FTX US, recently gained an option to buy embattled crypto company BlockFi forup to $240 million, after offering a $400 million line of credit.\nSeparately, blockchain protocol company Ripplesaidin May that it was prepared to use its “strong balance sheet” to purchase the companies behind popular crypto protocols and products.\nThe sentiment follows a record year for mergers and acquisition activity in 2021. According to a PwC report, such deals accounted for transactions totaling more than $55 billion, much more than the $1.1 billion recorded in 2020.\nAverage deal sizes in the space last year also tripled to $179.7 million in 2021 from $52.7 million in 2020, the PwC report found.\nSome analysts say the increasing interest in purchasing existing crypto players comes from the “size is important” mentality of founders.\n“Companies that already dominate segments of their market and who think that size is important will use the opportunities to buy smaller competitors to absorb their customers,” said Martin Hiesboeck, head of research at crypto bank Uphold, in an email with CoinDesk.\n“Financial institutions with money at their disposal have always used times of crisis to strengthen their position. This is nothing new, and certainly not a feature special to crypto. Just like in banking, few banks in any country dominate the market,” Hiesboeck added.\nThat does not, however, mean that smaller operators with innovative or disruptive business models don\'t have room to grow, Hiesboeck said.\nMeanwhile, Hiesboeck said a number of smaller crypto players might be facing turbulence in the current market conditions. “Data leads us to believe that around eight smaller exchanges/wallets are currently struggling, however it\'s still unclear across the market how this will play out,” he said, without divulging specifics.\n“The changing regulatory environment, in particular in the European Union, will force exchanges, and lenders in particular, to disclose more information about their holdings and liabilities, and therefore allow us to have a clear picture of who may be buying and who may be bought,” Hiesboeck said.\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nBitcoin, Crypto Markets Turn Red Upon News of US Inflation Hitting 9.1%, Legal Ramifications of NFT-backed Loans\nU.S. economy recorded 9.1% inflation in June, a new 40-year high.

Bitcoin's price has risen by 8.4% in the past week and its market capitalisation has moved back above the $600bn (£476bn). Thecryptomarket was up 4% on Tuesday, suggesting a tendency to follow tech stocks. The Nasdaq (^IXIC)was at 12,681 points, up by 3.3%. “Bitcoin surged by 8% yesterday to edge over the $32,000 level for the first time in nearly three weeks," analysts from WazirX Trade Desk told theFinancial Express.

The next resistance for BTC is expected at $40,000." According to Marcus Sotiriou of GlobalBlock the recent bitcoin price action indicates that institutions and high net worth individuals have been net buyers throughout the current bear market. He pointed to data from crypto research firm CoinShares that showed an inflow of $87m into crypto funds last week.This was after the previous week saw outflows of $141m. Sotiriou told Yahoo Finance UK: "Inflows were dominated by bitcoin, as it remains the most popular crypto investment for institutions in this current macro environment, whilst ethereum saw outflows of $11.6m. "This coincides with ethereum performing worse relative to bitcoin last week, signalling investors were capitulating assets that are further on in the risk curve." Investor sentiment has been encouraged by a fresh stimulus in China after the easing of disruptive lockdown measures in Shanghai and Beijing.

On Monday, Waller said the Fed should be prepared to raise interest rates by half a percentage point at every meeting from now on until inflation is decisively curbed. During a speech to the Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability in Frankfurt, he said: "I am advocating 50 basis point hikes on the table every meeting until we see substantial reductions in inflation. "Until we get that, I don't see the point of stopping." The bitcoin rally has taken most of the cryptocurrency market into the green. Ethereum (ETH-USD) rallied to touch the psychological $2,000 mark, up nearly 4% on Tuesday. The world's second largest cryptocurrency saw its average network fee drop to a 10-month low of $2.96 per transaction. Another positive sign from ethereum came with the recent announcement from founder Vitalik Buterin that the long-awaited "merge" to a less energy intensive proof of stake consensus mechanism will take place this August. A consensus mechanism describes the blockchain technology that allows cryptocurrency transactions to be validated in a way that cannot be tampered with. The biggest winner of the latest crypto price recovery has been cardano (ADA-USD), up 28% in the last week. Most of this movement happened in the last 24 hours, gaining 27.8% to $0.66.

Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. **Today's Key News:** ['Key Insights: It was another bullish session for the crypto top ten, with Ethereum (ETH) leading the way. The upside came despite a spike in US wholesale inflation, with FOMC member chatter of a 75-basis point rate hike easing fears of a 100-basis point hike later this month. The total crypto market cap rose by $23 billion to log the second increase of the week. It was a bullish Thursday session for the crypto top ten. Bitcoin ( BTC ) consolidated the Wednesday rebound, while ETH bounced back to revisit $1,200. A spike in US wholesale inflation and weak jobless claims figures tested support for riskier assets. The US wholesale annual rate of inflation accelerated from 10.9% to 11.3% in June, beating a forecasted 10.7%. In the week ending July 8, jobless claims rose from 235k to 244k, adding to the bearish sentiment. Later in the US session, however, riskier assets found support from Fed Governor Christopher Waller, who supported a 75-basis point rate hike in July. The latest consumer price and nonfarm payroll figures have brought a 100-basis point rate hike onto the table. Market reaction to Waller’s comments was evident, with the crypto market rising in response. The NASDAQ 100 avoided a fourth consecutive day in the red, eking out a 0.03% gain ahead of US retail sales figures due later today. Total Market Cap – NASDAQ – 150722 5 Min Chart At the time of writing, the NASDAQ 100 Mini was up 61 points, with the retail sales figures likely the final piece of the jigsaw for the Fed. Solid numbers would support the more hawkish rate hike bets. Amidst increased sensitivity to FOMC member chatter, Fed commentary will also draw plenty of interest. The Total Crypto Market Cap Returns to $900bn A mixed Thursday session saw the crypto market cap fall to a day low of $855 billion before finding support. Investor reaction to the US wholesale inflation and jobless claims figures weighed before a jump to a high of $914 billion. While a late pullback limited the upside, investors poured a further $23 billion back into the market to take the crypto market cap up $37 billion for July. Story continues Total Market Cap 150722 Daily Chart The Crypto Market Movers and Shakers from the Top Ten and Beyond ETH rallied by 7.04% to lead the way, with BNB (+3.47%) and SOL (+6.31%) finding strong support. ADA (+0.68%), BTC (+1.71%), DOGE (+0.87%), and XRP (+2.93%) trailed the front runners. From the CoinMarketCap top 100, Uniswap ( UNI ) and Polygon ( MATIC ) were among the front runners, with gains of 14.70% and 10.94%, respectively. At the other end of the table, TerraClassicUSD ( USTC ) and Decred ( DCR ) fell by 11.25% and 1.22%, respectively, to buck the broader market trend.

German consumer prices jumped a whopping 8.7% and Spanish inflation rates resumed their upward march, setting the stage for more record eurozone aggregate inflation data for May, with a Reuters poll expecting a print of 7.7%. With the European Union closing ranks to cut 90% of Russian oil imports by the end of this year, the inflation demon is unlikely to be tamed anytime soon, even though markets expect an aggressive 115 bps of rate hikes in the last six months of 2022. "The risk is significantly to the upside for the eurozone aggregate data," said Adam Cole, chief currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets. "A substantial upward revision to the ECB's near-term inflation trajectory is likely when the ECB's next round of staff forecasts are published in June." The euro was at $1.0737, down 0.4%, having hit a five-week high of $1.0786 overnight. The single currency is set for a 2.2% gain in May, which would be its biggest monthly rise in a year. The euro's overnight gains propped up the dollar, which also benefited from a surge in U.S. Treasury yields. The dollar index was at 101.71, having fallen to a five-week low of 101.29 overnight. News that European Union leaders agreed in principle on Monday to cut most oil imports from Russia by the end of this year sent oil prices higher and boosted commodity currencies. The Canadian dollar touched 1.2653 per dollar, near a one-month high struck overnight, ahead of Wednesday's Bank of Canada meeting at which all 30 economists polled by Reuters expect a 50-basis-point rate hike to 1.50%. Bitcoin was on the front foot at around $31,600 having risen above $32,000 overnight for the first time in more than three weeks. (Reporting By Kenneth Maxwell)... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Time value of money (Opportunity Costs).\n\nA: As most of you are aware, I’ve always mentioned the importance of opportunity costs and how you might be losing more in the long run. An example of this is if you were to be paid in USD at today’s BTC price at a haircut of 50%, timing of when you’ll be able to access the USD matters.\n\nWorst case scenario it takes 5 or more years to finish Chapter 11, if your portfolio has 2 BTC, you are to be paid 1 BTC at today’s price in USD ($20k). 5 years from now, 1 BTC would be worth $150k but you’ll only be getting $20k USD. $20k USD today could also be used to invest in index funds, snp500, btc, etc and in 5 years time, it’ll be worth a lot more vs just getting a flat $20k in 5 years. This is Opportunity Cost.\n\n2. There’s still a haircut.\n\nA: The whole push for Chapter 11 was to make Depositor whole or close to whole as proposed by Simon Dixon #DepositorsFirst. After seeing the balance sheet, he and the community stated haircuts are to be expected at this point as we’re looking close to a $2B hole excluding CEL Token.\n\n3. Operational costs and Litigation costs at the expense of our deposit with no revenue stream aside from mining.\n\nA: What makes chapter 11 more lengthy than chapter 7 is the constant back and forth between proposals, the courts and the creditors (us). The longer this takes (years), the less we get back as Celsius does not have anymore revenue steams aside from mining. \n\n\nPros of Chapter 7:\n\n1. Instant liquidation, might even crash the market.\n\nA: The title does have a negative connotation, but if instant liquidation does crash the market, your current portfolio in Celsius will be worth alot less hence making it easier for you to buy back your position assuming they’re not stablecoins.\n\nInstant liquidation also speeds up the bankruptcy process. No proposals, no back and forth, just liquidate and we get a % of our portfolio back. Could take just a few months as compared to years with Chapter 11. \n\n2. Faster return but with a bit more haircut.\n\nA: Opportunity costs.

Bitcoin (BTC) rose for a fourth consecutive day, withETHtouching $1,400 for the first time since June 13.\nThere were no speeches from FOMC members to provide direction, with members entering the blackout period, which extends from July 16 to July 28.\nFrom Friday, the talk of a 75-basis point continued to resonate, delivering the upside on the day. FOMC members Bostic and Bullard spoke of a 75-basis point hike this month, easing fears of a 100-basis point hike.\nWith the US equity markets entering the earnings season, the crypto market will be looking to decouple from the NASDAQ 100. However, sentiment toward Fed monetary policy and the economic outlook will likely leave the two interlinked.\nA bearish start to the Saturday session saw the crypto market cap fall to a day low of $897 billion before finding support.

From Friday, the talk of a 75-basis point continued to resonate, delivering the upside on the day. FOMC members Bostic and Bullard spoke of a 75-basis point hike this month, easing fears of a 100-basis point hike. With the US equity markets entering the earnings season, the crypto market will be looking to decouple from the NASDAQ 100. However, sentiment toward Fed monetary policy and the economic outlook will likely leave the two interlinked.

The market had started the day in a bearish fashion before finding afternoon support to wrap up the day in positive territory. Concerns over Fed monetary policy, following Friday’s US nonfarm payrolls, pegged the majors back from a full recovery of Friday’s losses. It was a relatively bullish Saturday session for the crypto market, with the top ten partially recovering Friday’s heavy losses. The news wires tested support early in the session, with anti-crypto chatter testing investor sentiment. Over the weekend, the FTC reported on crypto cybercrime numbers that could give regulators greater incentive to clamp down on the crypto market to protect investors. Crypto winter chatter and talk of exchanges laying off employees or freezing headcounts added to the negative mood. For bitcoin ( BTC ), it was the sixth gain from eight sessions, though resistance at $30,000 left bitcoin at sub-$30,000. Crypto Market Cap Visits Sub-$1,200 Billion Again On Saturday, the total crypto market cap slipped to a day low of $1,190 billion before the afternoon recovery. The fall back to sub-$1,200 billion for a second consecutive day suggests continued volatility. For the crypto bulls, steering well clear of the May 12 current year low of $1,082 billion will be the key. Total Market Cap 050622 Daily Chart Looking at the crypto top ten, Dogecoin ( DOGE ) and Solana ( SOL ) led the way with gains of 2.06% and 1.99%, respectively. ADA (+1.07%), BNB (+0.97% ), BTC (+0.56%), ETH (+1.70%), and XRP (+0.66%) also found support. From the top 100, The Graph ( GRT ) and Helium ( HNT ) led the pack, rallying by 11.6% and by 12.6%, respectively. Both benefitted from a shift in sentiment on the day and are set for a week of solid gains. GRT is currently up 16.2% for the week, with HNT up an impressive 28.7%. Total Crypto Liquidations Point to Calmer Market Conditions Having spiked at $500 million levels in the week, 24-hour total liquidations stood at just $55.82 million, according to Coinglass . Story continues Over 1-year, total liquidations reflected a further easing in selling pressure, with liquidations standing at $0.961 million. A pickup in total liquidations through the early part of the day could test investor sentiment, however.

Take it or leave it. \n\nI'm not the best prepper but understand that you can fast for a very, very long time as long as you have electrolytes and water. \n\nStock ELECTROLYTES: potassium, sodium, magnesium...etc. I don't often see this touted in the pepper communities online. They often talk about vitamins but not electrolytes. Electrolyte powder, electrolyte liquid or gels and water should be enough while your body will eat its stores of fat and from what I've read online of American obesity rates, the majority of you have enough stores of fat to last you a season or two.\n\nSilver and gold is definitely needed for the incoming hyperinflation. BTC and USD are going to fail and be worthless.\n\nGuns for self protection. In a lot of poor countries, cops often become gang leaders or criminal warlords. Don't trust cops or military when SHTF unless you're related to them. They will kill you and take your stuff. This is proven throughout history.\n\nThe US is headed for a hyperinflation scenario. Watch https://youtu.be/iFDe5kUUyT0 if you want to learn more Money and why the Federal Reserve is shit.\n\nEvery problem in your life can be partially attributed to the Federal Reserve. Money is so important to every day life. It makes and breaks families, it affects teachers and childcare and road construction, literally everything runs on money and the assholes at the FED make life miserable for the US by stealing from all of us. \n\nNot sure about the rest of the world but it's interesting watching Sri Lanka.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/preppers/comments/w0rz07/fasting_precious_metals_guns/', 'w0rz07', [['u/TinyDogsRule', 36, '2022-07-17 00:29', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/preppers/comments/w0rz07/fasting_precious_metals_guns/igg6rbk/', "I've recently started fasting and it's pretty eye opening. Initially, I started because I wanted to keep adding muscle but not weight. Seemed like a good idea and it has been successful. I'm bulking up and losing weight.\n\nThe part I did not foresee was the mental part. I am an early riser. I like to be outside working in the morning. I like to do some cardio in the morning. But, my food window does not open until later. It was a challenge to be mentally sharp and ready to tackle my day. It gets easier, but it is still tough some days.\n\nI would recommend every serious prepper gives fasting a shot, even if it's short term. It is great practice if you should have to ration at some point, or worse. Fasting helps build disapline in addition to the other benefits. It makes you enjoy your food more, allows you to eat healthier, and stretches your supplies.

The only thing we have is nukes\n\nLook, if you can't acknowledge how the entire world economy turns because ours does, then you undermine your own credibility. Hence the dependency. And I know how bartering works. The only reason there was a medium for exchange in the past 5k years that supported silver and gold is because there was ALWAYS a stable market where those currencies were honored. Even if your country collapsed, there was another one you could take your shiny trinkets to that would honor them. A global collapse renders that rationale moot.\n\nThe Native Americans didn't give up their gold and silver because of guns in their faces, they gave it up because they place so little value on it, because it has so little value (it is shiny though!). And that's established fact.\n\nYou can triple down if you want, but between those two points, the credibility of any argument you make is questionable at best. I'm open to all scenarios, I'm just not concerned about metals that only have application in an industrialized society.

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:** ['Japan holiday today will sap some liquidity from Asian trade today, and US cash treasuries will be closed in the region.\nUS equities were stronger Friday,S&P up 1.9% on better US data, closing the week 0.9% lower. US 10yr yields finished down 4bps to 2.92% and 17bps for the week. Oil closed up 2.1% and back above USD100/bbl for now.\nOverall the robust US data on Friday eased concerns about an imminent recession but is also unlikely to mount an additional case for a 100 bp Fed hike. And it was about as goldilocks of a mix of headline data risk as one could have expected given the FED’s dilemma of balancing Inflation vs Growth. Especially as stubbornly high inflation could lead to the FED overshooting and market pricing in a much higher risk of recession. But the\xa0decline in US long-term inflation expectations and less hawkish Fed speak on Friday helped temper the pricing of aggressive hikes and helped US equities close higher.\nOIl is opening the week softer as the market digests the demand impact of the rise in new Covid cases in China and as the market cautiously awaits the monumental event risk if Nordstream 1 gas flow from Russia to Europe will resume later this week.\nThe OPEC+ quota system ends in September, and attention is turning to what will happen next.\nAs long as the agreement is in effect, Saudi Arabia has made it transparent that individual producers with spare capacity should not exceed their quota to offset underproduction elsewhere within the group.\nFrom October, however, this changes. Nigeria, Libya, Venezuela, Iran, and Ecuador are all struggling to meet their quotas, while Saudi, Iraq, Kuwait and the UAE have 2mb/d of spare capacity.\nIn addition, Venezuela could add 1.25mb within a year if US sanctions ease, according to our recent expert call, and Iran is ~700kb/d below pre-agreement production and ~1.3mb/d below stated capacity.\nAs the market reprices a delayed reopening\xa0in China and potentially more barrels coming back to the market in October, oil could struggle to make new highs. And It could crash later this week if the gas flow from Nordstream1 doesn’t return, which would undoubtedly tip Europe into a deep recession.\nAfter hitting parity for the first time since 2002, the Euro faces several critical tests in the week ahead—the first ECB hike in over a decade along with an anti-fragmentation backstop tool, a potential further interruption to Russian gas flows, and now the risk of an early election in Italy.\nAnd while an ECB rate hike and rolling out an anti-fragmentation too could temporarily stabilize the EURO near the recent low end of the trading range, the prospect of a prolonged gas flow disruption is likely to hang over the Euro-like a storm could throughout the week.

US equities were stronger Friday , S&P up 1.9% on better US data, closing the week 0.9% lower. US 10yr yields finished down 4bps to 2.92% and 17bps for the week. Oil closed up 2.1% and back above USD100/bbl for now. Overall the robust US data on Friday eased concerns about an imminent recession but is also unlikely to mount an additional case for a 100 bp Fed hike. And it was about as goldilocks of a mix of headline data risk as one could have expected given the FED\x92s dilemma of balancing Inflation vs Growth. Especially as stubbornly high inflation could lead to the FED overshooting and market pricing in a much higher risk of recession. But the\xa0decline in US long-term inflation expectations and less hawkish Fed speak on Friday helped temper the pricing of aggressive hikes and helped US equities close higher. OIL OIl is opening the week softer as the market digests the demand impact of the rise in new Covid cases in China and as the market cautiously awaits the monumental event risk if Nordstream 1 gas flow from Russia to Europe will resume later this week. The OPEC+ quota system ends in September, and attention is turning to what will happen next. As long as the agreement is in effect, Saudi Arabia has made it transparent that individual producers with spare capacity should not exceed their quota to offset underproduction elsewhere within the group. From October, however, this changes. Nigeria, Libya, Venezuela, Iran, and Ecuador are all struggling to meet their quotas, while Saudi, Iraq, Kuwait and the UAE have 2mb/d of spare capacity. In addition, Venezuela could add 1.25mb within a year if US sanctions ease, according to our recent expert call, and Iran is ~700kb/d below pre-agreement production and ~1.3mb/d below stated capacity. As the market reprices a delayed reopening\xa0in China and potentially more barrels coming back to the market in October, oil could struggle to make new highs. And It could crash later this week if the gas flow from Nordstream1 doesn\x92t return, which would undoubtedly tip Europe into a deep recession. Story continues FOREX After hitting parity for the first time since 2002, the Euro faces several critical tests in the week ahead\x97the first ECB hike in over a decade along with an anti-fragmentation backstop tool, a potential further interruption to Russian gas flows, and now the risk of an early election in Italy. And while an ECB rate hike and rolling out an anti-fragmentation too could temporarily stabilize the EURO near the recent low end of the trading range, the prospect of a prolonged gas flow disruption is likely to hang over the Euro-like a storm could throughout the week. But, even in the markets baseline scenario that gas flows will partially return (to about 40% of normal), it is crucial to keep in mind that anything less than 100% will almost certainly require either higher prices pushed on to the consumer or government rationing\x97in parts of Europe, likely leading to a recession in Germany and Italy. New Standing Repo Facility From RBNZ The Reserve Bank of New Zealand announced a standing repo facility Monday morning after funding via FX forwards crashed in April and May as the domestics chased USD. The repo facility will help to prevent this by allowing eligible counterparties to lend NZ overnight and TN at 15bp below the official cash rate (OCR). Offshore banks will then have a mechanism for lending NZD surplus, given these banks generally run USD surplus. This should help anchor the front-end FX forwards as it provides more liquidity when the system balance remains above 50 bn and should be more beneficial to offshore banks looking to lend out surplus NZD better than the FX forward implied.

In alettersent Friday (viaThe Guardian), Senator Elizabeth Warren and five other lawmakers said the two agencies should work together to require crypto mining firms to disclose their energy use and emissions. The request comes after the group recently completed aninvestigationthat began at the start of the year. According to the letter, data collected from seven of the largest mining companies in the US, including Stronghold, Bitfury and Riot, indicates they can collectively use more than 1 gigawatt of electricity. Put another way, that’s almost enough to power all the residential buildings in Houston. Warren and the other lawmakers say they’re concerned about what all that power use will mean for the environment and consumers. Regarding the former, they state that emissions data from three of the surveyed companies indicate they emit approximately 1.6 million tons of CO2 annually or the equivalent of the tailpipe emissions of almost 360,000 cars. “Bitcoin miners are using huge quantities of electricity that could be used for other priority end uses that contribute to our electrification and climate goals, such as replacing home furnaces with heat pumps,” the letter states. On the latter point, the lawmakers cite a 2021 study from theUniversity of California, Berkeleythat estimated crypto mining in upstate New York raised annual electricity bills by approximately $165 million for small businesses and $79 million for consumers. What's more, they say their investigation doesn’t even scratch the surface of the full impact of crypto mining on power use and emissions in the US. “None of the companies provided full and complete information in response to our questions,” they note. “The results of our investigation, which gathered data from just seven companies, are disturbing, with this limited data alone revealing that crypto miners are large energy users that account for a significant – and rapidly growing – amount of carbon emissions,” the letter states. By requiring crypto mining firms to disclose their energy use and emissions, the group says the EPA and Department of Energy could provide lawmakers with better data to inform future policy decisions. The agencies have until August 15th to respond to the request.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/dirtmcgurt67', 'first time Bitcoin user. any tips or rules I need to follow?', 45, '2022-07-18 02:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinBeginners/comments/w1lovj/first_time_bitcoin_user_any_tips_or_rules_i_need/', "I recently met someone at the bar who was showing how much he had in Bitcoin and that it was a good idea to at least give it a try.

In June, Son said he would also consider a London listing, in part because of political appeals. The resignation of outgoing UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, which was preceded by the walkout of many leading officials in his administration, has put those talks on hold for now, said the people, asking not to be named because the discussions are private. Investment minister Gerry Grimstone, who played a leading role in talks with SoftBank, is one of the officials who resigned. You can\x92t negotiate if there is no one on the other side to talk with, one of the people said, adding that the pause hasn\x92t changed SoftBank\x92s attitude toward a London Stock Exchange deal. A listing in Arm\x92s home market could still happen, but SoftBank remains focused on the US in 2023, according to the people. SoftBank declined to comment. The company\x92s shares were little changed in morning trading in Tokyo on Tuesday. The Financial Times reported earlier that SoftBank had halted work on a London IPO. Arm, which the Japanese company acquired in 2016, is based in Cambridge, England. Arm was one of the UK\x92s most important technology companies before the purchase and still has the majority of its operations there.

Story continues Arm sells and licenses technology that\x92s used by semiconductors in everything from smartphones to supercomputers. The pervasiveness of its products has made its planned IPO a closely watched event in the $550 billion chip industry. Son has said he plans to sell a portion of Arm before the end of the company\x92s financial year next March. The prospect for a return on his $32 billion purchase of Arm have dimmed as investors have shied away from chip-related stocks.

Stablecoins are digital tokens pegged to the value of traditional assets, such as the U.S. dollar, and are popular as safe havens in times of turmoil in crypto markets. But Terra USD's value plunged last month, breaking its 1:1 dollar peg and contributing to a tumble in other crypto assets like Bitcoin. In the lawsuit against Binance and Chief Executive Brian Shroder, Utah resident Jeffrey Lockhart said Binance falsely advertised Terra USD as "safe" and backed by fiat currency, when in fact it was an unregistered security. Lockhart said Binance's failure to register with the U.S. government as a securities exchange limits disclosure about assets traded on the platform, harming investors. "Binance and other exchanges were critical enablers of this devastating failure to comply with the securities laws," said Tibor Nagy of law firm Dontzin Nagy & Fleissig, which represents Lockhart. "Crypto exchanges made massive profits by flouting securities laws and causing real harm to real people." A Binance spokesperson said the exchange is registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) - a unit of the U.S. Treasury Department - and complies with all applicable regulations. "These assertions are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously," the spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the exchange will delist Terra USD, a decision made before the lawsuit was filed. Lockhart is seeking to have himself and other investors who bought Terra on Binance registered as a class. In a separate lawsuit in 2020, investors accused Binance of selling unregistered tokens and failing to register as an exchange or broker-dealer. A federal judge in Manhattan dismissed that case in March, stating that the investors had waited until too long after their losses to sue and that U.S. securities law did not apply because Binance was not a domestic exchange. The investors are appealing. Story continues Lockhart's lawsuit, by contrast, targets Binance's U.S. unit and comes just weeks after Terra USD's collapse. His suit comes after a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators last week proposed legislation to have the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), not the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), play the primary role in regulating crypto. The CFTC is generally seen as friendlier toward cryptocurrencies, as the SEC has found crypto assets should be seen as securities. Cryptocurrencies continued their slide on Monday, with Bitcoin touching an 18-month low and No. 2 token ether tumbling as much as 18%.

As such, with the company soon scheduled to report 2Q22’s financials (August 4), RBC analyst Daniel Perlin believes the toned-down valuation means the “expectation hurdle” going into the print is “relatively low.” That said, like in the prior quarter, the current macro environment remains unpredictable and while Perlin says it is hard not to want to “be more constructive” on the digital payments leader, the prospect of a recession, which would affect Block’s end markets and consumers, looms large. With this in mind, based on the market's “re-rating of high-growth stocks and a more cautious macro view” into 2H/22, Perlin has lowered the price target for the stock from $147 to $91. Nevertheless, the figure, which could still generate returns of 31% in the year ahead, supports Perlin's Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating (To watch Perlin’s track record, click here ) Perlin’s expectations for the quarter are mainly below the Street’s estimates. The analyst is calling for net revenues of $1.74 billion (Street is at $1.79 billion), gross profit of $1.48 billion (Street has $1.49 billion) and adj. EBITDA of $135 million (Street calling for $148 million). What areas of Block should investors be keeping an eye on? As reflected in GPV (gross payment volume), all eyes will be on the near-term demand for SMB (small and medium business) sellers, and here also, Perlin thinks the Street’s forecast could “prove aggressive.” Perlin’s model calls for a 16% year-over-year increase to $45 billion, below the consensus estimate of $49 billion.

The world's largest cryptocurrency fell more than 9pc on Saturday morning, marking 12 straight days of declines. This means Bitcoin prices are now more than 70pc lower than where they were in November last year. Other crypto tokens havesimilarly collapsed in price, with trillions having been wiped from the value of digital coins since they hit a high last year. Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, recorded a 24-hour fall of 9.1pc, while Binance Coin was down 8.2pc over the same period and Dogecoin down by 7.5pc, according to CoinDesk. Thecryptocurrency routcomes against a backdrop of higher interest rates, as central banks wrestle to keep inflation under control. Earlier this week, the Bank of England raised interest rates from 1pc to 1.25pc. Inflation is running at a 40-year-high of 9pc and could hit 11pc later this year. Alkesh Shah, head of crypto and digital assets strategy at Bank of America Corp, told clients yesterday that in this climate investors were shifting focus to projects with "clear road maps to cash flow and profitability versus purely revenue growth". “Investors are continuing to position defensively following last year’s liquidity-driven digital asset bull market." Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda, added the recent news flow "has been terrible for cryptos". "Surging recession fears are crippling appetite for risky assets and that has crypto traders remaining cautious about buying Bitcoin at these lows." The slump in prices isrippling across the crypto industry,with one of the world's largest companies in the sector Coinbase this week announcing plans to cut almost one in five roles, equal to around 1,100 jobs. Brian Armstrong, the chief executive of the company,warned over what an economic downturn could mean for the industry. “We appear to be entering a recession after a 10-plus year economic boom. A recession could lead to another crypto winter, and could last for an extended period," he wrote to staff. Coinbase lets people buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Its shares have fallen 85pc since its flotation in New York in April last year, when it landed a $86bn (£70bn) valuation.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/AutoModerator', '[Daily Discussion] - Wednesday, July 20, 2022', 51, '2022-07-20 06:00', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/w3cjba/daily_discussion_wednesday_july_20_2022/', "**Thread topics include, but are not limited to:**\n\n* General discussion related to the day's events\n* Technical analysis, trading ideas & strategies\n* Quick questions that do not warrant a separate post\n\n**Thread guidelines:**\n\n* **Be excellent to each other.**\n* Do not make posts outside of the daily thread for the topics mentioned above.\n\n**Other ways to interact:**\n\n[Get an invite](https://reddit-bitcoinmarkets.slack.com/join/shared_invite/enQtNjM1NTg3ODgwODUzLWRhOGI3MGFlZDVjMzBlYWYwYzIzZWNlOThjZDQ3ZjhlZGU2MDY2ZGY5ZDZjYzY5MzQyYWJiZWE5YzRiNmY0NmM) to live chat on [our Slack group](https://reddit-bitcoinmarkets.slack.com/)", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/w3cjba/daily_discussion_wednesday_july_20_2022/', 'w3cjba', [['u/cur5', 23, '2022-07-20 06:10', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/w3cjba/daily_discussion_wednesday_july_20_2022/igviseo/', '**Trade**\n\nBought @ 23.45k. \n\nTarget ~28k \n\nStop loss on a daily close under 22k.', 'w3cjba'], ['u/nuk8d', 16, '2022-07-20 08:50', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/w3cjba/daily_discussion_wednesday_july_20_2022/igvxppz/', "I made this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/vvj0n1/daily_discussion_sunday_july_10_2022/ifllefj/?context=3) 10 days ago, about Russia/Gazprom potentially shutting off gas supplies to some European countries.

Although the technology-based index has been trending lower since November 2021, it’s been really hit hard since the Ukraine-Russia war began on February 24. Compounding the sell-off is soaring inflation, higher interest rates and, more recently, a possible U.S. recession. At 19:45 GMT,September E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futuresare trading 11536.50, down 154.50 or -1.32%. TheInvesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ)is at $280.22, down $3.58 or -1.26%. In economic news, a Commerce Department report showedU.S. consumer spendingrose less than expected in May. While the report suggestedinflationhad probably peaked, price pressures are expected to stick around, which means the U.S. Federal Reserve should remain on its aggressive policy-tightening path. Trader reaction to the short-term Fibonacci level at 11524.50 is likely to determine the direction of the September E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index into the close on Thursday. A sustained move under 11524.50 will indicate the presence of sellers. Consequently, look for the index to eventually retest the last main bottom at 11068.50 if this move creates enough downside momentum. Taking out 11068.50 will reaffirm the downtrend. This could lead to a quick test of the November 2, 2020 main bottom at 10944.00. A sustained move over 11524.50 will signal the presence of buyers. This could trigger a quick move into the long-term 50% level at 11671.25. Overcoming 11671.25 will be a sign of strength. This could trigger a late session short-covering rally into the intermediate retracement zone at 12021.25 to 12246.00. This zone essentially stopped the buying at 12262.00 on June 27. The short-term direction is likely to be determined by trader reaction to 11671.25 and 11524.25. Aggressive counter-trend buyers are going to try to overcome 11671.25 in an effort to form a potentially bullish secondary higher bottom. Sellers are going to try to drive the index through 11524.25. Their goal is to continue the downtrend. For a look at all of today’s economic events, check out oureconomic calendar.

The second, consecutive daily decline following an early week rally underscored Tesla CEO Elon Musk\'s influence among digital asset investors. Musk\'s utterances about bitcoin and dogecoin (DOGE) have sent markets for those assets intermittently soaring and plunging for much of the past two years.\n"Bitcoin was showing signs of a potentially meaningful breakout, but that quickly came to an end after Tesla reported earnings," Oanda Americas Senior Analyst Edward Moya wrote in an email.\nYet, Moya noted that traders should not have been surprised by Musk\'s support of the sale, given the crypto winter and comments he make a month ago at the Qatar Economic Forum that he had not recommended people invest in crypto.\nMoya added optimistically: "This is not a game changer for bitcoin."\nEther, the second-largest crypto by market cap, was changing hands just below $1,600, up more than 3% over the same period. Other major altcoins were in the green of a mostly dark shade, with Cosmos\' ATOM and Polygon\'s MATIC climbing more than 13% and 8%, respectively, at one point.\nEquity indexes rise\nEquity markets also rose on Thursday, albeit less robustly than cryptos. The tech-heavy Nasdaq jumped 1.3% while the S&P 500 increased almost a percentage point, respectively. Stocks have found even ground lately amid better-than-expected earnings reports from a number of major brands, most recently Tesla and Netflix (NFLX).\nInvestors have also been encouraged by reports that the U.S. central bank\'s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) would raise interest rates by 75 basis points instead of opting for a more robust 100-point hike. The mildly, less hawkish turn has suggested to some observers that inflation may soon stall without the economy plunging into recession. A Thursday report showing jobless claims in the U.S. reaching an eight-month high offered the latest evidence of a more desirable, gradual economic weakening.\nStill, rising prices remain a concern in the U.S. and beyond as the European Central Bank raised borrowing costs for the first time in 11 years.\nMeanwhile, the crypto industry continued to suffer the fallout from the ongoing bear market, with cryptocurrency exchangeBlockchain.comcutting 25%of its workforce – about 150 people.

Bitcoin was on an absolute tear and retail investors were clamoring for more and more of it.\nBut for those uncomfortable with buying bitcoin on an exchange and storing it in a wallet, there wasn’t really any other way of getting exposure to the asset class. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, still, as of mid-2022, hasn’t approved a bitcoin exchange-traded fund. While bitcoin ETFsbegan trading in Torontoin April of 2021, not every brokerage in the U.S. can access the Toronto stock exchange.\nSo the idea of the bitcoin macro proxy was born. These are stocks of a company that has exposure to bitcoin and would allow the trader to realize some of bitcoin’s gains without holding the actual asset.\nIn theory, this is different from companies that are directly involved in the bitcoin industry like miners or payment processors. These firms would need to have bitcoin on the balance sheet for its utility. Abitcoin proxywould have it on the balance sheet for financial gain.\nTesla and MicroStrategy (MSTR) are examples of these proxies. Unlike Block (SQ), theentity formerly known as Square, which is also publicly listed, Tesla and MicroStrategy have no practical use for bitcoin.\nFor a while, Tesla offered U.S. consumers the option to purchase a vehicle with bitcoin. It\'s not clear if anyone took the carmaker up on its offer partially because of thecomplexity of payment but also the unclear tax implicationsof liquidating bitcoin for a purchase.\nSo without a practical use for bitcoin, and theimpairment costs skyrocketing, Tesla jettisoned $936 million of it (75%) during the last quarter. Company executives cited liquidity concerns as the reason, as sales in China have ground to a halt due to the country’s strict COVID-19 measures.\nBut this reason is a non-starter as institutional-grade crypto lending services, like Gemini Prime, could have easily fulfilled an order for a few hundred million dollars-for-bitcoin. That’s if Tesla actually believes in the longevity of bitcoin.\nAnd for those who bought Tesla as a bitcoin proxy instead of the coin itself, they would have outperformed crypto. Year to date, bitcoin is down around 50%. Tesla, only down 38%.\nRemarkable for a company that at one time in 2021made more moneyon its bitcoin investment than from selling cars.\n8:30 a.m. HKT/SGT(12:30 a.m. UTC):Jibun Bank manufacturing PMI(July preliminary)\n8:30 a.m. HKT/SGT(12:30 a.m. UTC):Jibun Bank bank services PMI(July preliminary)\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nBitcoin, Altcoins Dip as ECB Raises Rates 50 Basis Points, First Hike in 11 Years\nFollowing the European Central Bank\'s decision to raise interest rates higher than expected to fight inflation, "First Mover" examined the impact on crypto markets.

However, as equities get jittery on multiple macro-economic headwinds, large-cap stocks have found relatively higher interest. In general, large-cap stocks have low volatility and with established businesses, cash flows are robust. Investors therefore benefit from steady stock upside coupled with dividend gains. Additionally, there are large-cap stocks that have sustained dividend growth visibility. These are attractive as yields are likely to remain stable even if the stock trends higher. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips High-Quality Stocks to Buy That Are Trading Below Fair Value It’s also worth mentioning that the Vanguard Large Cap Index Fund (NYSEARCA: VV ) has delivered cumulative returns of 278% in the last 10 years. While there is a tendency to pursue growth stocks for healthier portfolio returns, large-cap stocks have been silent performers. Let’s talk about seven large-cap stocks with continued dividend growth potential. TICKER COMPANY CURRENT PRICE AAPL Apple Inc. $138.93 CVX Chevron Corporation $146.51 NEM Newmont Corporation $61.17 COST Costco Wholesale Corporation $485.76 MSFT Microsoft Corporation $259.58 LMT Lockheed Martin Corporation $433.52 AZN AstraZeneca PLC $69.95 Apple Apple (AAPL) logo on building Source: pio3 / Shutterstock.com Without doubt, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) is my top pick from large-cap dividend growth stocks. The company’s business is a cash flow machine and that’s unlikely to change considering the innovation factor. For second quarter 2022, Apple declared a dividend of 23 cents. On a year-on-year basis, dividends increased by 5%. It’s worth noting that Apple reported cash and equivalents of $193 billion, as of March 2022. For the first half of 2022, the company reported operating cash flow of $75 billion. With such robust cash generation potential, dividend growth and share repurchase will sustain. Apple has also been diversifying with the services segment reporting record revenue in Q2 2022. The wearables segment also has significant growth potential. With a robust cash buffer, the company is positioned for sustained organic and inorganic growth. Entry into electric vehicles is also a potential catalyst. Overall, AAPL stock is a long-term portfolio stock for value creation from capital and dividend gains. Story continues Chevron Corporation Source: JL IMAGES / Shutterstock.com With some correction in oil prices in recent weeks, Chevron (NYSE: CVX ) stock has also declined from highs. I believe that this is a good opportunity to accumulate CVX stock for the long-term. From a fundamental perspective, there are two big reasons to like Chevron. First, the company has an investment-grade balance sheet. Based on Q1 2022 cash flows, Chevron is positioned to deliver operating cash flow in excess of $30 billion for 2022. 7 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next Decade Furthermore, Chevron has quality oil assets with a low break-even. The company managed positive operating cash flow even during the pandemic year. When it comes to dividends, Chevron has an attractive yield of 3.9%. The company plans to invest $15 to $17 billion annually over the next few years. These investments will translate into cash flow upside and dividend growth. With strong financial flexibility, Chevron is also making aggressive investments in the renewable energy sector. With the recent acquisition of Renewable Energy Group, Chevron is positioned to be a leader in the U.S. renewable fuel segment. Newmont Corporation Newmont (NEM) logo on a mobile phone screen Source: Piotr Swat/Shutterstock In a portfolio of large-cap stocks for the long-term, it’s important to have a precious metal stock. With geo-political tensions and negative real interest rates, gold is likely to be a performer. I like Newmont (NYSE: NEM ) among dividend growth stocks for several reasons. The company has a strong asset base with stable production visibility well into 2040s. Newmont reported 96 million ounces of gold reserves with a majority of assets in North and South America. More importantly, Newmont expects to lower it’s all-in sustaining cost to $800 to $900 an ounce in the next few years. With gold trading above $1,800 an ounce, there is visibility for EBITDA margin expansion. Newmont also has an investment grade balance sheet. With a liquidity buffer of $7.3 billion and a net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDAX of 0.3x, the company is positioned for aggressive investments. Overall, NEM stock looks attractive from the perspective of upside as well as dividend growth. If gold remains in a long-term uptrend (very likely), Newmont is positioned to create immense value. Costco Wholesale A Costco Wholesale (COST) warehouse in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Source: ilzesgimene / Shutterstock.com There has been weakness in the retail sector lately fueled by inflation and recession fears. I believe that correction in quality retail stocks is a good long-term accumulation opportunity. Costco (NASDAQ: COST ) is among the top large-cap stocks to consider for dividend growth. As a matter of fact, the company’s dividends have increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.04% in the last 10 years . For the 39 weeks ended May 31, Costco reported 16.5% growth in revenue to $165.56 billion. E-commerce growth was robust. As Costco strengthens its omni-channel network, long-term comparable store sales are likely to remain strong. High-Quality Stocks to Buy That Are Trading Below Fair Value Costco is also attractive from the perspective of recurring revenue. The company has 64.4 million household card holders and generated $4.1 billion in membership fee in the last 12 months. With continued investment in new stores, member growth is likely to sustain. After a meaningful correction from highs of $612, COST stock provides long-term investors with an attractive entry point. Microsoft The Microsoft (MSFT) logo on a corporate office building during the day time. Source: The Art of Pics / Shutterstock.com Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) stock is another name among large-cap stocks that has a solid dividend growth history. In the last 10 years, the company’s dividends have increased at a CAGR of 12.28%. With a strong cash buffer and long-term growth visibility, I believe that Microsoft is positioned for further dividend growth. For Q3 2022, Microsoft reported 18% revenue growth to $49.4 billion. For the same period, the company’s earnings increased by 9% on a year-on-year basis. It’s worth noting that intelligent cloud business accelerated by 26% to $19.1 billion. Further, Azure and other cloud services reported revenue growth of 46%. This segment is likely to remain the key growth driver. In March, Microsoft closed the acquisition of Nuance Communications. This will help Microsoft make inroads into healthcare AI. With a strong balance sheet and robust cash flows, the company is positioned to pursue further acquisitions. Same goes for it’s pending purchase of Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI ). Overall, MSFT stock looks attractive at a forward P/E of 28.8. With sustained dividend growth and share repurchases, there is ample scope for value creation. Lockheed Martin A Lockheed Martin (LMT) Space Systems sign in Sunnyvale, California. Source: Ken Wolter / Shutterstock.com In the defense sector, I am bullish on Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT ) from the perspective of earnings and dividend growth. LMT stock, after some correction from highs, looks attractive at a forward P/E of 15.6. Global geo-political tensions are likely to remain high with several points of friction. This will ensure that global defense spending growth is steady. Lockheed Martin is well positioned to benefit from higher defense spending by U.S. and its western allies. In particular, European defense spending is likely to witness growth in the coming years. Lockheed has an order backlog of $134 billion, which provides revenue and cash flow visibility. For 2022, the company has guided for free cash flow of $6.0 billion. If the order book strengthens, FCF growth is likely. 7 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next Decade Currently, LMT stock has an annualized dividend of $11.20 per share. This translates into a dividend yield of 2.67%. Even with potential stock upside, dividend yield above 2.0% seems sustainable. AstraZeneca Exterior of the AstraZeneca's manufacturing facility at Snackviken Source: Roland Magnusson / Shutterstock.com In the pharmaceutical sector, AstraZeneca (NASDAQ: AZN ) is a quality dividend growth stock pick. AZN stock currently pays a $1.44 per share dividend, which equates to a yield of 2.2% at current levels. I believe that the yield is sustainable. For Q1 2022, the company reported robust revenue growth of 60% to $11.2 billion. Its Covid-19 vaccine was the key catalyst for top-line growth. However, it’s also worth noting that the oncology segment delivered robust 25% growth. AstraZeneca is also positioned for earnings growth from the company’s product pipeline. Currently, there are 183 projects in the works with several projects in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials . As new drugs are marketed globally, growth is likely to sustain. I also like the fact that the company has a strong geographic diversity. For Q1 2022, AstraZeneca reported 44% of revenue from outside the U.S. and Europe. The company does have $25.2 billion in net debt as of March 2022. However, with an investment-grade balance sheet and healthy cash flows, dividend growth visibility is bright. In particular, considering the product pipeline. On the date of publication, Faisal Humayun did not hold (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:** ['Bitcoin Balloon 2 Andriy Onufriyenko Some minority investors say crypto is still an important investment even after this year\'s big crash. According to a survey, 25% of Black investors own cryptocurrency compared to 15% of white investors. Experts have expressed concern around minority investors\' exposure to risks in the crypto market. In 2013, as crypto was creeping into the mainstream, Cleve Mesidor was working as an appointee in the Obama administration\'s Department of Commerce. As a favor to a friend, Mesidor helped pen a press release about bitcoin. Though fairly uninterested and unimpressed at the time, in just a few years Mesidor would find herself steeped in the world of crypto, quitting her job to become a full time representative of the industry and a committed investor. The awakening to the world of crypto came a few years after Mesidor helped with her friend\'s press release, when she watched "Dope" , a movie about a group of Black teenagers who use bitcoin to thwart a financial criminal. The film, she said, sparked a vision in her mind of crypto as a path to racial equity,\xa0a tool for people who had been either accidentally or deliberately left out of the traditional financial system. That kind of awakening is a common experience for minority investors who say they\'re bullish on crypto — and who continue to hold even as the market suffers through a steep sell-off this year. The losses, they say, are inconsequential to the overall objective of the project, with tokens like bitcoin and ethereum providing a sense of freedom, and the potential to level the playing field with those who have never experienced discrimination from lenders or bankers. Jacob Faber, an NYU professor and an expert in social inequality, told Insider that the perspective of people like Mesidor was likely a result of a long history of discrimination in the financial system, with well documented evidence of bias in everything from opening bank accounts to getting a mortgage to getting a loan to start a business. Story continues A survey by Ariel Investments and Charles Schwab released in April showed 28% of Black Americans say they distrust banks, compared to just 18% of White Americans. 56% also reported not feeling respected by financial institutions — something Mesidor can relate to. She recalled experiences of her and her family having loan applications denied or being treated poorly by bank employees. "I wasn\'t even taken seriously. You know, when somebody is just like, \'why are you wasting my time?\'" Mesidor said. "Get a degree. We did that. Get a good paying job with benefits, did that. And still it\'s not enough." The result over time has been that many Black and minority investors are either locked out or shy away from traditional investment opportunities that may be offered to white investors, and possibly lured by decentralized (and often riskier) investments. Only 34% of Black Americans own stocks compared to 61% of white Americans, according to the Federal Reserve Board, but that ratio is flipped when it comes to cryptocurrency. Among Black investors, 25% own crypto compared to just 15% of white investors, Ariel and Charles Schwab reported. That also means that Black investors may have more significant exposure to 2022\'s crypto crash, which has slashed the total market value by about $2 trillion since last November and sent bitcoin tumbling from $69,000 to just over $20,000. But Mesidor feels the trend towards digital assets is only natural for Black investors. "If traditional finance has worked for you, you see crypto as risky. You see it as speculative. For those of us who have been locked out, traditional finance is risky," she said. "Asking for a loan is risky. You know the answer, right?" Crypto has been touted as an egalitarian form of finance, away from banks and their conscious or unconscious biases. It\'s the beauty of what Mesidor refers to as "self-sovereign identity" — you don\'t need government attention to build the same wealth as your peers. Yet, others are more skeptical. "The proliferation of cryptocurrencies and non-fungible assets has become a kind of Ponzi scheme," NYU\'s Faber said of the trend, adding that any aspirations toward racial equity disguised the industry\'s risks, which could in fact further erode minority wealth. "The idea that this can be a democratizing currency is not supported by the facts at all," Faber said. And yet, Black investors are still twice as likely to say crypto is their best investment option, according to Ariel and Charles Schwab. After years of research, Mesidor ended a career in politics and dove into crypto full-time in 2017 as head of her non-profit Blockchain Foundation. She is unfazed by bitcoin\'s plunge, noting that this isn\'t her first crypto winter, but her third. "We\'ve learned that get-rich-quick schemes in this society rarely benefit us," Mesidor said. "This is not about, \'oh my god, the price of crypto\'. It\'s about building products and services, breaking down barriers, creating access for people." She says she is in the market for the long haul, and among thousands of tokens, she\'s bullish on the biggest. "I think bitcoin is my north star in terms of crypto," Mesidor said. Read the original article on Business Insider', "The bear market that’s hitting all corners of the digital assets industry isn't over yet and could see some more pain over the next few quarters, according to crypto-focused bank Silvergate Capital (SI).\nThe crypto sector may still experience a few areas of pain for some exchanges and crypto funds over the next few quarters, “but at some point all of that will be done, and then we'll just be waiting for what's the next catalyst,” CEO and former TradFi banker Alan Lane told CoinDesk in an interview.\nHowever, investors shouldn’t compare the current crypto price slide to previous ones given the broader global economic reset as digital assets have fallen with macro trends including rising rates and inflationary pressures, Lane said.\nShares of Silvergate are down 42% this year, though they’ve jumped 33% over the last week. The VanEck Digital Transformation Exchange-Traded Fund (DAPP), which holds a basket of various crypto stocks including exchange Coinbase (COIN) and miner Marathon Digital (MARA), has fallen 67% this year, but risen 15% over the last week. Rising rates and recession fears have hurt global equity markets, especially stocks deemed to be riskier. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index has retreated about 25% year to date.\nGiven the crypto downturn,analysts anticipatea weak quarter for various crypto companies from exchanges to miners, but Silvergate’ssecond-quarter earningsbucked the trend.\nThe Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN), a fiat on-ramp forbitcoin(BTC) markets, posted a 34% rise in U.S. dollar transfers during the second quarter compared to last year, while net income rose 85% year over year.\nLane said the way Silvergate avoided the pitfalls of the bear market is by sticking to what the bank knows best and by not chasing FOMO. “We really try to stay in our lane and not chase the latest fad, but really just focus on what we do well, and essentially just solving problems for our customers,” Lane said.\nInvestment bank Canaccord Genuity thinks risk management was a key contributor to Silvergate’s positive earnings results. “What perhaps was the biggest long-term positive for the story was a risk management program that resulted in no loan writedowns, despite significant crypto spot price volatility and some default contagion across the broader ecosystem,” Canaccord equity research analyst Joe Vafi said in a note to clients.\nVafi also expects Silvergate to double its earnings over the next few years given various growth drivers that the company is embarking on. He rates the stock with a buy and $200 price target; shares closed at $86.50 apiece on Friday.\nAmid the recent collapses of several over-leveraged crypto-linked financial institutions, Lane remains positive on using bitcoin for its lending program.\n“We're absolutely still interested in lending against bitcoin,” Lane said. “We believe that is some of the best lending we've ever done, and we want to continue to grow that.”\nMost recently, Silvergate utilized its SEN Leverage program in a$205 million term loan to Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy(MSTR) so the business intelligence firm could purchase more bitcoin.\nLane said the lending platform was built with the acknowledgement it would come with volatility, and says the recent crypto rout was a good stress test for Silvergate to show it can withstand volatility in its lending business model.\nCertain lenders that have had problems included those offering clients unsecured or under-collateralized loans, while Silvergate requires over-collateralization, according to Lane. If market headwinds persist, a borrower can pay down its loan, pledge more bitcoin or Silvergate can make the decision to liquidate some bitcoin on one’s behalf if necessary.\nIn January, Silvergatebought the technology and other assets from Diem, the stablecoin project from Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) first announced as Libra back in June 2019.\n“While details remain few, the assets acquired from Diem do indeed provide a solid platform for a stablecoin for e-commerce, and we cannot but believe that demand both from payments platforms and merchants could be strong over time,” Canaccord’s Vafi added in his note to clients.\nSilvergate said on its earnings conference call that its stablecoin launch remains on track for this year.\nRead more:Silvergate's Acquisition of Diem's Assets Positive for Stablecoin Launch, Analysts Say", "The bear market that\x92s hitting all corners of the digital assets industry isn't over yet and could see some more pain over the next few quarters, according to crypto-focused bank Silvergate Capital (SI).

Stake.com was unfazed by the adverse effects of the crypto winter on the broader crypto market, which has led to numerous exchanges cutting costs. Several crypto exchanges are looking beyond cutting headcounts, with some revisiting sponsorship plans to reduce costs further. The crypto market and sport have forged a strong partnership in recent years. At the forefront of evolution into sports is Dapper Labs ( FLOW ). Behind the Flow blockchain , Dapper Labs has been a leading name in linking US sports franchises with digital assets. In 2020, Dapper Labs partnered with the US National Basketball Association to launch the NBA NFT marketplace Top Shot . The launch followed a partnership with the National Football League (NFL) that culminated in the launch of the NFT marketplace NFLALLDAY . Since then, crypto exchanges have also embraced the world of sport. Sports gives crypto platforms access to an untapped customer base in more prosperous regions, including North America and Europe. In recent months, however, the crypto winter has impacted the cash flow of several prominent exchanges. Reports of reducing workforces have added to the gloomy mood. However, it isn’t all doom and gloom, with several crypto-linked companies seeing the crypto winter as an opportunity. Stake.com Expands Its Bandwidth with Everton FC Sponsorship Deal This week, the Sydney Morning Herald reported news of Australia-founded crypto casino Stake.com signing a new sponsorship deal with Everton FC. According to reports, Stake.com signed a multi-year deal with the English Premier League side, who lost its previous shirt sponsor due to Russian sanctions. The deal is reportedly the “highest value front-of-shirt deal in the Club’s 144-year history.” It is not the casino’s first foray into English football. Stake.com is also the main sponsor of Watford Football Club. The platform committed to its second year as the official sponsor despite relegation to the Championship. Story continues Stake.com also has sponsorship deals with individuals, including hip-hop star Drake and other sporting franchises. Franchises include Boxing Japan and Rugby League Brazil. Established in 2017, Stake.com has become one of the leading casino and sports betting platforms for cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin ( BTC ), Dogecoin ( DOGE ), EOS ( EOS ), Ethereum ( ETH ), Litecoin ( LTC ), Ripple ( XRP ), and Tron ( TRX ). The latest sponsorship deal, however, comes at a tumultuous time for crypto exchanges. In recent weeks, numerous crypto exchanges announced workforce reductions, with some looking beyond payrolls to reduce costs. Crypto Platforms Drop Sports Sponsorship Deals As Crypto Winter Bites While some platforms are ever-expanding into the world of sport, others are tightening their belts. According to the New York Post, leading crypto exchange FTX reportedly pulled out of a multi-million dollar deal with the Major Baseball League’s Los Angeles Angels. FTX had been particularly active in the sports world before hitting the brakes. In February, FTX joined the leading crypto exchanges in the Superbowl LVI half-time show. FTX reportedly paid $6.5 million for a 30-second ad, with Crypto.com , eToro , and Coinbase also paying for airtime at the half-time show. Another unnamed exchange recently pulled out of a deal with the NBA’s Washington Wizards. The marked shift in the landscape places an even greater emphasis on Stake.com and its unwavering appetite to access an untapped customer base through sport.

This week, we're talking about Musk dumping tokens while holding onto others. You can get this newsletter in your inbox every week by subscribing on TechCrunch's newsletter page. Dumping favor A weekly dispatch from the desk of TechCrunch crypto editor Lucas Matney : Elon Musk shared that Tesla sold some Bitcoin this week. Well, to be fair they sold an awful lot of Bitcoin … tens of thousands of coins. And while Tesla's announcement last year that they were buying Bitcoin sent prices to the moon, the disclosure Wednesday that they sold 75% of their Bitcoin reserves in Q2 didn't drastically impact the crypto market, which has been on a tear this week with BTC prices pumping and Ethereum shooting even higher (though still wildly below prices from a couple months ago). At the end of the day, Tesla was one of the top corporate holders of Bitcoin and Elon Musk was, for a while at least, the currency's top billionaire hype man. His stock in crypto circles seems to be falling; crypto Twitter was broadly upset by the announcement with some noting that crypto holders should join those shorting the electric car maker's stock. Hidden inside this disclosure that the company had offloaded nearly $1 billion worth of Bitcoin was a small admission from Musk that Tesla was holding onto Dogecoin and had not sold any of it. What was unclear from this statement is how much Dogecoin Tesla actually owns. Musk has written on Twitter that he owns it, and Tesla has accepted Dogecoin payments for merchandise on its site for months, but they haven't disclosed any buys of the cryptocurrency. I tried to do some napkin math on how much Dogecoin the company may hold this week: The company disclosed that it currently owns $218 million worth of digital assets after selling $963 million worth of Bitcoin. The bulk of that $218 million is likely its remaining Bitcoin. Tesla reportedly had around 42,000 Bitcoin heading into the second quarter, so after selling 75% of them, it should have had around 10,500 at the end of the quarter. Now, to determine exactly how much of that total holding is Bitcoin, we’d have to know exactly when the snapshot was taken. It was assumedly taken sometime the last day of June when fiscal Q2 ended, so 1 Bitcoin would have been trading for between $18,750 and $20,300 throughout the day, which at 10,500 coins would mean that around $197 million to $213 million of its total “digital assets” would be in Bitcoin. Story continues Ultimately, Musk's assertion that Tesla was holding onto its Dogecoin was probably more about keeping in the good graces of that Twitter community that anything else, especially during a time when his Twitter dealings have taken some digs at his popularity among retail investors. Elon Musk discloses that Tesla owns Dogecoin, but how much does it have? the latest pod Chain Reaction has recapped plenty of negative news in the past month as token prices took a beating and web3 companies suffered as a result. The pain is far from over, but crypto prices did see a fairly substantial recovery this past week, with ETH up 45% week over week. Lucas and Anita talked about what might have driven the uptick, though they also had to talk through the much more unfortunate news of layoffs at OpenSea. Both co-hosts were hard at work this past week on two separate feature articles that relate to current crypto news, so they unpacked those on the show. Anita talked about her piece on intensifying competition between crypto exchanges for the U.S. market (and which is most likely to win), while Lucas shared his thoughts on Yuga Labs’ highly hyped Otherside metaverse video game as one of its very first players.

Gaming-focused UnCaged Studios raises $24M to build good crypto games the week in web3 A weekly window into the thoughts of web3 reporter Anita Ramaswamy : More than a few times recently, I’ve heard people in crypto say a bear market will separate the good companies from the bad ones. Former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton put it more directly at Bloomberg’s crypto summit on Tuesday, saying regulators should make responding to the “garbage” going on in web3 their first priority . Clayton invoked the 2017 ICO boom when describing the aforementioned garbage, a time during which all sorts of rampant scammery and securities fraud was unfolding within crypto. I couldn’t help but wonder … has crypto made any material progress since then in improving its reputation as a refuge for miscreants? For U.S. lawmakers, the answer seems to be “yes,” perhaps because they are loathe to stifle what’s proven to be a substantially large industry worth millions (or billions in a strong market) of dollars. So despite their sluggishness, they are finally coming around. Specifically, U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand proposed a bipartisan crypto bill last month that has been on everyone’s lips. The pair made an appearance at the Bloomberg summit to share updates on the bill’s status since it was introduced. Gillibrand shared that while certain provisions look set to move forward, the entirety of the legislation is likely to be deferred to next year. Still, there are two provisions in the bill Gillibrand predicted could garner consensus much sooner than the rest. The first is a set of rules for banks looking to issue stablecoins – it’s understandable that those are an area of particular concern for lawmakers after the Terra fiasco. The second is the portion of the bill that would make the CFTC the key regulatory authority overseeing crypto, which she said is currently being finalized in committee. Congress will be able to vote on that provision by the end of the year, she noted. While U.S. lawmakers and regulators alike will probably always drag their feet in cracking down on crypto because they don’t want to be seen as stifling innovation, the new bill seems to be moving right along, faster than many expected. It’s not exactly a sudden 0 to 100 shift, but it’s very possible the U.S. is on the brink of a faster and more furious regulatory response than most in web3 could imagine just a few months ago when the markets were in better straits. Regulators should address crypto ‘garbage’ first, former SEC Chairman Clayton says TC+ analysis Here's some of this week's crypto analysis available on our subscription service TC+ from senior reporter Jacquelyn Melinek : Regulators should address crypto ‘garbage’ first, former SEC Chairman Clayton says As the crypto industry continues to grow, regulators across the world are looking for operational and legal frameworks to guide their actions to more effectively monitor the industry. While there’s a “tremendous number of responsible players in the industry” there are also irresponsible ones, former U.S. SEC chairman Jay Clayton said during the Bloomberg Crypto Summit conference on Tuesday. “And regulators have to respond to the garbage first. That’s the job.” NFTs have the potential to become media companies, Rarible co-founder says As NFTs work to retain mainstream attention, one founder predicts the digital asset sector will pivot in a new direction. “I think NFT collections will evolve as media companies [into something] like Disney,” Alex Salnikov, co-founder and head of product at NFT marketplace Rarible, said to TechCrunch. In recent months, major “blue-chip” NFT projects like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Doodles propelled their collections beyond just images and into different sectors, which may be the beginning of what’s in store for NFT expansion into the mainstream, Salnikov said. Some venture investors are doubling down on crypto despite an unknown recovery timeline The crypto markets might be red all over, but that isn’t stopping many venture capitalists from investing in the space. People who entered the crypto market briefly — aka tourists — are “already going home,” Craig Burel, partner at crypto-focused firm Reciprocal Ventures, joked to TechCrunch. But a number of VC firms are looking at the space as a huge opportunity, even though there might not be measurable traction for a number of years. MetaMask co-founder sees a developer-led future for its crypto wallet Six years ago, MetaMask was founded and today it’s the largest non-custodial crypto wallet. But that wasn’t always the plan, co-founder Dan Finlay told TechCrunch. “We thought it was going to be a quick in-and-out thing.

According to an April survey of 1,037 investors by GOBankingRates, over 40% of respondents who buy crypto indicated that they have 11% or more of theirinvestments in crypto. About 12% indicated they wanted to own crypto for retirement, while 22% wanted to use crypto to diversify their investment portfolio. Find:22 Side Gigs That Can Make You Richer Than a Full-Time JobDiscover:Surprising Things You Can Buy With Food Stamps If you already own crypto or are thinking of investing yourself, it’s prudent to ask just how much crypto might be too much in your portfolio.Here’s a look at what some experts in the field say about how to properly balance your investments with crypto’s volatility. Dan Herron, a CPA at Elemental Wealth Advisors, recommends that his clients start slow when it comes to crypto. As Herron told NextAdvisor, “With my clients that are interested in learning more about crypto, I tell them that they can have up to 1% of their assets in cryptocurrencies and the remaining 99% in more traditional assets. However, as they become more familiar with the crypto space, we can gradually allocate more to that allocation.” See:6 Alternative Investments To Consider for Diversification in 2022 Ric Edelman, the founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals (DACFP), agrees, telling Coindesk that a 1% allocation is something of a sweet spot, small enough to avoid major damage but still providing potentially significant upside. An increasing number of financial advisors and industry experts seems comfortable recommending a crypto allocation of somewhere between 2% and 5% of assets. Vrishin Subramaniam, founder and financial planner at CapitalWe, said, “Two to 3% is usually what we see for most clients who are not tracking crypto markets more than once a week.” Theresa Morrison, CFP at Beckett Collective, agrees: “Crypto-aware clients sit in two camps: crypto-savvy or crypto-curious. For the crypto-curious, a 1% diversification can be a way to explore.” From there, both Subramaniam and Morrison agree that investors can bump up their allocations to 5%, but no more. “Once it’s over 5%,” Morrison said, “you start to see the volatility swings affect the rest of the traditional portfolio, and most people don’t want that.” Although more and more advisors are growing comfortable with recommending investors own some cryptocurrency, other prominent investors say to avoid it at all costs. For example, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, co-chairs of Berkshire Hathaway and some of the most famous billionaire investors in the world, have repeatedly railed against Bitcoin and crypto in general. Munger has called Bitcoin “evil” and said “it’s stupid because it’s still likely to go to zero.” They are not alone. John Paulson, president and portfolio manager of U.S. investment firm Paulson & Co., told Bloomberg Wealth that “cryptocurrencies … will eventually prove to be worthless.” When prominent, wealthy investors say an asset may become valueless, it’s something to consider when you’re evaluating its position in your portfolio. Cryptocurrency may offer the potential for explosive upside, but it remains highly speculative. Whereas the stock market may occasionally suffer a 20% to 30% bear market, it has always come back to set new highs. This just may not be true in the case of cryptocurrency, which has no real-world earnings or products or sales behind its valuation. At the current time, the crypto market is supported only by how much investors and speculators are willing to pay for it, which means there may come a day when crypto is worth zero. This may or may not happen, but the risk is there, and it should be adequately reflected in your portfolio allocation. The experts quoted above are generally bullish on crypto, but even they recommend keeping no more than 5% of your portfolio in crypto, which is telling. However, some say to avoid crypto at all costs, considering it a foolish investment that will eventually lose all of its value. When making the decision for yourself, carefully evaluate your investment objectives and risk tolerance and talk them over with a financial advisor before you put too much of your savings at risk. Methodology: GOBankingRates surveyed 1,037 Americans aged 18 and older from across the country between April 8 and April 9, 2022, asking eight questions: (1) Do you invest in cryptocurrency?; (2) If you do not invest in crypto, why not?

Bitcoin had reached a more than one-month high on Wednesday, cracking $24,000, and was still trading comfortably over $23,000 early Friday before investors revisited their anxieties over inflation and the economy to back away from riskier assets.\nEther, the second-largest crypto by market cap, was trading at $1,560, also down slightly for the same period. Other cryptos were largely in the red, with YGG and AXS both off more than 7%. The crypto Fear & Greed Index has improved over the past two weeks, but remains in fear territory, reflecting deep concerns about conditions potentially affecting crypto.\nTo be sure, market observers have viewed bitcoin\'s recent tenacity above $22,000 positively amid an unexpectedly high consumer price index (CPI) this month, slowing economic indicators and poor earnings. But crypto markets this week also struggled to make sense of Tesla\'s (TSLA) decision to jettison $936 million of its bitcoin holdings, the latest pivot in company founder and crypto influencer Elon Musk\'s ever-changing relationship with digital assets. Bitcoin has increasingly responded to the wider environment, including stock prices, which have plummeted this year.\n"BTC did see some positive price action following its resilience, post the CPI data earlier this month," wrote Joe DiPasquale, the CEO of crypto fund manager BitBull Capital, in an email to CoinDesk. "The fact that news of Tesla selling its BTC holdings did not crash the price is also a positive sign for the bulls.\nFOMC meeting\nInvestors will now be eyeing this week\'s interest rate decision by the U.S. central bank\'s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC is widely expected to approve a 75-basis point hike, robust enough to satisfy critics of Federal Reserve timidity in tackling inflation but reasonable enough to encourage those who prefer a more moderate approach that is less likely to spur a steep recession and affect assets.\n"With this month\'s FOMC around the corner, we will be taking a conservative approach until the Fed\'s future direction becomes clearer," DiPasquale wrote.\nCrypto declines tracked major equity indexes on Friday as the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell nearly 2% and the S&P 500, which has a heavy tech component, dropped almost a percentage point. Stocks, like cryptos though, had their best week in a while after months of losses. Gold rose slightly, although it has also steadily fallen from March highs over $2,000.\nIn a weekly review to investors, First Republic Bank noted weakening in the once-hot housing market, a sign that rising interest rates may finally taking a bite from demand. The National Association of Home Builders index dropped for a seventh straight month. U.S. housing starts in June were also unexpectedly weak, among other falling indicators.\nThree Arrows Capital\nMeanwhile, the founders of insolvent crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, Su Zhu and Kyle Davies,describedthe firm\'s collapse as "regrettable," but denied claims they pulled money from the fund before its collapse, according to Bloomberg report. Three Arrows\' implosion stemmed from the fall Terra ecosystem that has rippled through the industry since May. Investors are claiming Three Arrows still owes them $2.8 billion.\nYet in a report,banking giant Citi saidthat crypto contagion fears tied to recent events, including digital asset lending platform Celsius\' failing, have peaked. Staked ether’s discount to ether (ETH) has narrowed, which suggests some liquidity stress may have passed, the report said, adding that the “acute deleveraging phase” has now ended given many of the large brokers and market makers in the sector have disclosed their exposures. In a further positive sign, stablecoin outflows have been stemmed, the bank said, and outflows from crypto exchange-traded funds (ETF) have also stabilized in recent weeks.\nDiPasquale wrote that "if the Fed remains aggressive" with rate hikes, "we could easily see BTC return to $20,000 or lower." But he added optimistically that "accumulation in that range could be a promising long-term opportunity."\nS&P 500: 3,961 -0.9%\nDJIA: 31,899 -0.4%\nNasdaq: 11,834 -1.8%\nGold: $1,727 +0.4\nCoinbase\'s Enduring Allure Among Institutional Investors\nCoinbase’s stock is down nearly 70% on the year, outpacing the declines of bitcoin. While many funds have used the onset of the bear market to reduce their stake in the exchange, there are also many institutional investors that have used the chance to acquire shares for what they perceive as a discount.\nAccording todata compiled by Whale Wisdom, which tracks quarterly filings of the form 13F that discloses fund managers’ new investments, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest, exchange-traded fund issuer Exchange Traded Concepts, Cullinan Associates and Utah-based Refined Wealth Management all significantly added COIN to their portfolios as per filings dated June 30.\nArk Invest’s Wood has been along-time Coinbase bull, highlighting in May that the U.S.-based exchange had no exposure to either the terraUSD (UST) stablecoin or the luna (LUNA) token.\n“Given its inherent profitability, competitive position and massive opportunities, we believe the company is right to focus on investing in its derivatives offerings, [non-fungible token] platform and international expansion,” Wood wrote in a note outlining her bullish thesis on the company.\n2.6 million shares\nWhale Wisdom data shows that all firms that filed a 13F by June 30 collectively bought 2.6 million shares.\nThe Wall Street Journal said that14 analysts it polled gave Coinbase a buy option for retail investors while nine gave it a hold, and two ranked it a sell.\nThe average stock target price from the polled analysts is $106.05, which would give it a $23 billion market cap.\nBefore the company did its initial public offering last year, its pre-IPO contracts weretrading as highas $317, which would give the exchange a valuation of over $75 billion.

[.N]\nSince Walmart is seen as a "litmus test for the health of the consumer," Carol Schleif, deputy chief investment officer at BMO Family Office, said investors are concerned about growth and feeling uncertain ahead of key economic data due out this week and the Fed\'s interest rate decision expected on Wednesday.\n"This week is forcing investors to be very short-term oriented. It\'s not allowing anybody to lift their eyes up even a week or a month," Schleif said. "It\'s an asset market, not just in stocks, that seems to suggest people think growth is questionable in the intermediate term."\nInvestors are expecting a 75 basis point Fed rate increase on Wednesday, with markets pricing about a 10% risk of a larger hike, as well as waiting to see whether economic warning signs prompt a shift in rhetoric.\n"If they did 100 basis points it would probably surprise the market.

With the market crashwiping $2 trillionoff the value of all cryptocurrencies in just a matter of months, 21Shares has unveiled new risk-adjusted crypto investment products that are based on S&P Dow Jones Indices’ benchmarks. More specifically, two new exchange-traded products (ETP) will target a volatility level of 40% by rebalancing assets to the U.S. dollar. Both exchange-traded products offer investors exposure to the largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) and will trade on the Swiss SIX Exchange. Notably, theSIX Swiss Exchange, which is part of the wider SIX Group and operates under the supervision of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), is Europe’s third largeststockexchange and a primary capital market for Swiss securities. The ETPs, which will trade under the tickers SPBTC and SPETH, combine exposure to a volatile cryptocurrency with cash in order to achieve an overall target of moderate volatility. This follows the company’s efforts in launching a S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market (BDM) Index that provides a performance snapshot of thecryptocurrencymarket and includes more than 240 tokens. The index is part of an expansion of S&P’s recently launched series of digital asset benchmarks, the S&P Digital Market Indices. Moreover, the company has noted that SPBTC and SPETH are examples of indexes aiming to address volatility associated with underlying cryptocurrencies. Since the new risk-adjusted crypto investment products replicateS&PDow Jones Indices’ benchmarks, they target a volatility level of 40%. This is achieved through rebalancing or allocating more assets to USD in the event ofvolatility. For context, S&P indexes’ benchmarks control risk by adjusting exposure to the underlying index and dynamically allocating to U.S. dollars. The S&P Risk Parity Index Series as a whole provides a rules-based benchmark for equal-risk-weighted parity strategies. These indices construct risk parity portfolios by using futures to represent multiple asset classes and the risk/return characteristics of funds offered in the risk parity space. 21Shares’ ETP Director Arthur Krause has expressed that the 40% target refers to volatility rather than investment performance, adding that large-cap equities in the United States demonstrate annual historical volatility of 20%. For Bitcoin, this figure stood at 70%, while Ethereum’s volatility amounted to 80%, he said. Despite the company’s crypto inflows hitting new all-time highs, recently reaching $100 billion in new assets under management (AUM) year-to-date, we are still in an overall bear market and inflows to funds are at lower levels than before. This is exemplified by CoinShares’ latest weekly report which shows that digital asset investment products saw inflows totalling $12 million last week, with investment product volumes remaining very low at $1 billion over the week. Last month, 21Shares announced the launch of a set of new products dubbed the Crypto Winter Suite that targets both retail and institutional investors in countries like France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands and Australia.

I have been wanting to do something like this for awhile now, and I finally sat down and wrote it out. Basically, with everything that is going on, I wanted to get together a list that is A) as comprehensive as possible, and B) a chance for sister subreddits with similar (or at least, relatively similar) viewpoints and stances that we have here. The idea is to grow our communities, and spread the good Word (also, to fellowship with other Christians that you may not have gotten to know otherwise)! Initially, I had wanted to include a list of "subs to avoid", however after speaking with another mod, I came to the conclusion that would be antithetical to how Christ wants us to be, and would only serve to besmirch them when we should be loving and uplifting one another. So, I want to make this list, and I would **love** for you to contribute to it as well! If you comment with a sub that you know of that is a Christian sub and is open and affirming (at the minimum), then I will add it here. Hopefully, we can all collaborate together, and really grow as one big family - the way it was always meant to be. Ok, I\'ve rambled long enough, so here are the subs I know of that are safe for our LGBT siblings, and would love to have you there!\n\n- r/ChristianAgnosticism ("Christian Agnosticism is a theological and philosophical outlook based in rationalist thought" - a very young sub, but one that is definitely deserving of some attention)\n- r/Teachings_Of_Jesus ("What did Jesus say about money, fear, respectability, and self-righteousness? Do you REALLY want to know?" another young sub that could use some love; their mission is also one that I personally find **very** interesting!!)\n- r/ChristianAnarchism ("Christian anarchism encompasses a wide range of views based around the intersection of Christianity and anarchism" - for all your God-fearing, anarchic needs!)\n- r/TransChristianity ("This subreddit is dedicated to providing a space by trans people and for transgender people to discuss, question, or complain about all things Christianity" - the perfect community for our trans siblings in Christ!)\n- r/GayChristians (“This subreddit exists to provide a place for gay Christian’s to come and discuss topics that are specific to us” - a community dedicated to our gay siblings!)\n- r/HereticChristianity (“Doubts do not invalidate your faith. Questions do not invalidate your faith. Uncertainties do not invalidate your faith.” What a tagline, and how incredibly true it is!)\n- r/Episcopalian (a sub dedicated to all things Episcopal church-related; to the best of my knowledge, this is a predominantly US only congregation, so if you’re outside the states and have a similar church denomination, I’ll happily add it to my list here. This denomination is well known for being very open and affirming in their faith.)\n- r/Quakers (“Quakers seek religious truth in inner experience, and place great reliance on conscience as the basis of morality”—basically, they don’t rely as heavily on a figure head to dictate what’s right or wrong, if I’m understanding correctly.) \n- r/QueerTheology (“an explicitly queer-affirming sub. Once we get past: ‘Can LGBT people be accepted in the church?’ — the theology that is possible once we assume we are accepted is rich for exploration”—phenomenal sub that delves deeper into the theology of Christianity, cannot recommend enough!)\n- r/LGBTCatholic (“a place for practicing, non-practicing… Catholics to share and discuss stories…”—an excellent place for Catholics of all stripes!)\n- r/DankChristianMemes (a sub for memes, jokes, and good Christian fun! I must warn: if you’re not a fan of occasionally darker or edgy humor, this sub may not be for you—admittedly, it’s never going to be NSFW or sacrilegious, but if jokes with some swearing isn’t your thing, then this sub isn’t going to be what you’ll like.)', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenChristian/comments/w82gjv/collaborating_with_fellow_open_and_affirming/', 'w82gjv', [['u/synthresurrection', 15, '2022-07-26 03:44', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenChristian/comments/w82gjv/collaborating_with_fellow_open_and_affirming/ihnrbi1/', "/r/radicalchristianity is a good sub(I'm biased, since I'm one of the moderators) and we're open and affirming. 🙂", 'w82gjv']]], ['u/maybeamarxist', 'Am I the only one who remembers the big OpenSSL RNG bug?', 68, '2022-07-26 00:40', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/w82k3u/am_i_the_only_one_who_remembers_the_big_openssl/', "Way back in the halcyon days of 2008, before our lord and savior Satoshi blessed us with the genesis block in 2009, there was a bug [reported](https://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571) in the pseudorandom number generator used by OpenSSL in Debian. This bug [undermined the security of public/private key pairs generated by the affected versions of OpenSSL](https://threatpost.com/how-debian-openssl-bug-almost-spawned-disaster-051809/72669/). Basically because of a very subtle software bug, people were generating key pairs for *almost two years* that could potentially be compromised by an attacker using just the public key and a signature.\n\nNow, Bitcoin didn't exist at the time, so of course no one was talking about the implications for cryptocurrencies. And I guess by the time they started to take off this had faded far enough into memory not to immediately throw up red flags?

And just for a moment I'm going to set aside how monumentally dumb that is, because *none of it matters if the software you're using is flawed*.\n\nYou could do everything in the world right, and all it takes is a misplaced character somewhere in the pseudo random number generator your wallet uses for an attacker to jack your private key. **This is not a hypothetical concern! It already happened!** It's just that it happened with a different bit of crypto software, and it happened in a world that had not yet been peppered with digital treasure chests that you can pop open with the right zero day.\n\nFor all we know, there could be billions of dollars worth of crypto wallets using keys generated by buggy software out there. We could wake up one day and find that Coinbase's cold wallets have been emptied because an attacker figured out how to derive their private key from their public. The cold wallet you printed out and stuffed in a bank vault might already be compromised, and if the vulnerability ever gets published it could be exploited before you can get to the bank to get the key to transfer your coins to a new wallet.\n\nThe crypto bros will yack your ear off about how many lifetimes of the universe it takes to crack a key pair, but they conveniently ignore the fact that *that's only true if the keys were generated on secure systems running bug-free software*.

And it's time to fend off more rounds of Amazon-related scams. Amazon is a favorite for scammers throughout the year. Nearly one out of five people who reported a business impersonation scam said the scammer pretended to be from Amazon, according to the Federal Trade Commission's Consumer Sentinel Network data from July 2021 through June. During the past year, 65,976 people reported being targeted by Amazon impersonators, and 5,411 people said they lost money, according to new data from the FTC. Reported losses totaled more than $36 million, based on the FTC data. The median loss in this group — meaning half lost more and half lost less — during this time was $1,050. It's a ton of money to lose especially as consumers cope with skyrocketing prices on everything from groceries to gas. Amazon Prime Day runs Tuesday and Wednesday but the sales trigger plenty of online bargain hunting in July, usually a dead zone for shoppers. And you can bet the scammers will be playing the odds that they can trick online shoppers once again. In the first few days of July, Amazon-related phishing attacks increased by as much as 37% compared with the daily average in June, according to the cybersecurity firm Check Point Research's figures. "Amazon is very popular and millions of households use it for a variety of things. They use it for their TV with Amazon Prime. They use it to get things delivered. A lot of us during the pandemic had Amazon boxes being shipped every day," said Amy Nofziger, director of victim support for theAARP Fraud Watch Network. She noted that the fraud network heard from 16 victims in just two days last week about Amazon-related scams of many different forms, including one that claimed $499 has been charged to a consumer's account for a purchase the person didn't make. A notice of a shockingly large purchase is just a ploy by scammers to get you to download apps likeAnyDeskorTeamViewerto give the scammers access to your phone or personal computer as a way to steal data, access codes and even money. Scammers love to impersonate a brand that is well known and has credibility, including government agencies. Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency, for example, warned Monday that crooks are sending text messages from a 210 area code, claiming that "your back payment deposit of $2,800 is now pending on your profile." The real agency doesn't contact people via text message. More:Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency warns jobless claimants of text phishing scam Simple tip: Don't buy gift cards or Bitcoin for strangers, allow access to your computer or device or hand over ID information to strangers, no matter how convincing the pitch. More advice: Amazon will not request that customers buy gift cards for any service. Amazon isn't collecting payments over the phone or by email — only via its app or website. Amazon is not going to ask you to download or install any software to connect with customer service. Tips to protect yourself shopping online apply, too: Use a credit card for better protection, be careful to make sure you're not shopping on a fake website, and watch out for deals that look too good to be true, which can be a sign that you're dealing with a scammer. Here's a rundown of Amazon scams: John Anter, who lives in Port Huron, lost about $400 in a scam that started out with someone impersonating an Amazon employee. He could have lost another $550 in the same scam but got few breaks from the bank. Anter didn't get a phone call or a text from someone saying they were from Amazon. Instead, Anter was trying to sign on to Amazon Prime on his TV and he had to log in by using his smartphone. "I've done it before; never had a problem," said Anter, a Chrysler retiree who worked in national parts distribution in Center Line. This time, though, a problem cropped up and a phone number for customer support popped up on his phone. He called it, which proved to be Mistake No. 1. The man on the line, who had a foreign accent, told Anter the reason he couldn't sign in was that he needed to upgrade his Amazon account and there was a $50 charge for Amazon Digital, a fee the man told Anter not to worry about because it would be refunded. The man sounded helpful, telling Anter that he enjoyed talking with him. Anter upgraded for $50 using his debit card. Then there was a $100 fee, which again the man said don't worry because it would be refunded. Anter used his debit card again to send the $100. "One thing led to another and the next thing I know he's having me transfer money through Zelle on my Chase account," he said. "It was $400." "My wife kept saying, 'Hang up, John, hang up.'" He didn't hang up because he told her he was talking to Amazon. He sent the $400 via Zelle to a woman's name that was given to him. Then, the scammer wanted another $400 to be transferred to another person's name. But he said the bank stopped that $400 transfer because they spotted unusual activity. He was able to get the first $150 back after calling Chase and disputing the debit card payments. But the bank told him that he OK'd the immediate cash transfer through Zelle and the $400 was not replaced. "I said, 'Well, I guess I learned a lesson here,'" said Anter, who is 84 and prides himself on never having been scammed in the past. Anter said he'd warn other consumers to hang up when anyone claiming to be from Amazon asks for money for upgrades and claims the money will be somehow refunded. "I should have known right then," he said. "I should have known; why do they need that first $50 thing?" "And then another $100?" If something's gone wrong with your Amazon delivery, you could be tempted to search online for a phone number for customer service. But con artists promote fake customer support numbers online for Amazon and other big names. Nofziger said crooks have been known to list fake phone numbers and pretend to be from Amazon when posting on chat rooms, such as Reddit or the Ripoff Report. But if you call that number for help, you're calling the scammers, not Amazon. More:2 Michigan women tricked by convincing, sophisticated Amazon scam: What to know More:DTE impersonators drained Rochester Hills woman's checking account using Zelle app The Better Business Bureau serving eastern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula received about six complaints about Amazon-related scams in the past two months. Some consumers received fake text messages that supposedly were from Amazon. But most of the consumers were concerned that they had reached a scammer after trying to reach Amazon Customer Support Service by Googling for a phone number. Ashley Gibbard, marketing manager at the Better Business Bureau office in Southfield, said consumers should never just Google for a customer service number — the scams are that prevalent. "If you need to contact Amazon customer support, we suggest going directly to the company website and going to the customer support link and following the prompts there," Gibbard said. If you end up at the wrong customer support line, con artists might suggest fixing a problem by setting "a dummy account" with a money transfer app and tricking you into sending money to that account. Do not give remote access to bank accounts, provide account log-in information, transfer money to strangers via Zelle or other apps. The Amazon impersonators also run their own version of the old tech support scam. Bad actors claim to try to help set up a device. But Amazon warns customers to be wary of anyone charging money for Amazon customer service, including tech support. Amazon offers this for free. Amazon warns online that scammers reach out by text or call and claim to be from"Amazon Customer Service."They'll tell you that that your account is frozen. The scammers then say you must purchase Amazon gift cards or other gift cards and give the codes over the phone to fix the problem. Or the crooks will ask for your Amazon password, Social Security number or banking information. Hang up — or ignore any similar texts or emails. If Amazon sends you an email, typically all you need to do is go to your Amazon account to verify the issue. You don't click on links or open attachments.

The scammers want you to open an attachment or click on a link, which if opened can lead to malware being installed on your device. One prevalent Amazon impersonation scams involves fake order confirmations, which try to trick customers into thinking there is an account security issue. Amazon customers should never call phone numbers in order confirmations sent by text or email, or even found in search results. A legitimate Amazon email would not include a callback number. Instead, consumers should log into their account on the Amazon app or website to check their order history. If you're in a hurry or you trust a voice of authority, you might be more vulnerable when you accidentally connect with a bad actor. Listen to your inner voice that tells you that something sounds suspicious. Nofziger recommends pausing and even reaching out to someone else such as the AARP fraud network at 877-908-3360 to talk with someone before being pressured to give ID information or money. Amazon said it is continuing to invest to protect customers and educate consumers on hw to avoid scams. Amazon customers canreport something suspicious at Amazon.com's "Help & Customer Service"page. “Scammers that attempt to impersonate Amazon put our customers and our brand at risk," said Corey Goldstone, a spokesperson for Amazon. Amazon and other retailers aren't giving away big dollars if you take a survey to improve customer service.

This should supplement our [rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/wiki/rules/rules) and [wikis](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/wiki/index) to avoid scams and bans.\n\n**EDITS WILL BE LISTED, DATED, AND DETAILING CHANGES HERE.** Check this thread for updates.\n\nEdit 1 - 26Jul22: Ensure members comment in buying/selling thread/check the hws scammer list\n\n#**Scams**:\n\n1\\. **PayPal Goods and Services (G&S, Invoice) is the only payment method for non-local sales**.\n No if, ands, or buts. Paper money only for local sales, as digital payment can be charged-back.\n\n1a. "I don\'t want to pay taxes at EOY", "My PayPal is messed up, BTC is easier", "But this service also provides protection".\nThese are red flags. Report any activity of this nature to [modmail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/hardwareswap). \n\n1b. PayPal G&S can be initiated via PayPal Money Request (followed by "Paying for an Item or Service") or Invoice.\n Invoice is suggested as it lets the seller detail exactly the condition and type of item that\'s being sold. This helps if a fraudulent dispute is placed by the buyer.\n\n2\\. **PayPal G&S Scams: G&S exploits occur when the user doesn\'t exercise common sense and places too much trust in the scammer.**\n\n2a. Requesting buyer confirm receipt of item before actually receiving item is a scam. How? **If you confirm the item** ("So PayPal can release the funds because I need money for rent") **before receiving**, **you\'ve waived your right to dispute the item never being shipped to you.**\n\n2b. Seller requests user disputes transaction in lieu of refunding due to PayPal account issues is a scam. **You have one chance to dispute a transaction**. Do not burn it unless you actually need to dispute.\n\n2c. Buyer paying invoice and asking to send to another address is a scam ("Sorry, messed up on PayPal please send it to 123 Scam Ave, Mattapan MA instead"). Why? **Address that buyer lists on invoice when paying is the only address that matters.** Sending elsewhere is technically "Never received item" per the tracking information. If this occurs, refund user and go with your gut. You can either report them (with screenshots) to us or send another invoice and remind them to enter the correct address. If buyer backs out on second attempt, report them to us.\n\n2d. Splitting payment into multiple is a scam. Buyer can\'t afford the item in one go? Probably for the best you move on to another buyer. Why? Depending on how you split the payment, they could dispute the higher-charged item and get your item for the lower installment price.\n\n3\\. **Fraudulent Disputes happen. Buyer claims item doesn\'t work, arrived broken despite perfect packing, or never received item.**\n\n3a. Mitigation happens prior to sale. High value items, traceable items, or anything that you care about should have timestamps taken of condition in good lighting, clear serial numbers, and the item packed in an open box. These are for you and, if necessary, PayPal only.\n\n3b. Use PayPal Invoice \'s description box to describe exactly what you\'re selling. There is a difference between "Used Valve Index" and "Valve Index with 2 OEM controllers, 2 OEM base stations, in used condition, light scratching on lenses, light to moderate wear on headset, no mounting hardware, no box."\n\n3c. Include tracking information on PayPal invoice ("Click here to add tracking information"). This can be done during or after payment. I personally include it after the UPS/USPS/FedEx member has taken my package from me. This ensures the tracking number won\'t change. High value items should be hand-receipt only. This ensures a case for "stolen from porch" becomes baseless. Insure items if you have any concern of damage in transit.\n\n4\\. **As mentioned before, you have one shot at a dispute rebuttal. If issue cannot be resolved in chat**:\n\n4a. [Message moderators of r/hardwareswap](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/hardwareswap) before doing anything with the dispute. Send pm conversations and PayPal invoice via a hidden/private imgur album in your message to us. We have a pretty good track record of getting an agreement from both parties. Be advised that you both will be permanently banned until issue is resolved.\n\n4b. Leave emotion out of dispute process. \n\n4c. Use screenshots that connect the buyer to the reddit account (Your sales post has "PM" comment from the user, your PMs have agreement to purchase and their PayPal email address). \n\n4d. Use photos referenced from 3a and description from 3b for Significantly not as described disputes.\n\n#**Bans**:\n\n1\\. **Price Policing has not been allowed at all for months.** There\'s this universal idea that poor Little Timothy may be spending his year\'s allowance on a overpriced Steam Deck, and certain members feel the need to save poor, stupid Little Timothy from wasting his money. Many times the comments are abusive or plain aggressive. **If someone wants to spend however much money on an item, that is their right**. This is a marketplace. Prices change with all the economic factors that exist outside of here. The same people who price policed inflated RTX3000 series GPUs at launch sold their 10 and 20 series GPUs later for inflated prices.\n\n2\\. **Deleting Posts. Not allowed, never allowed.** No matter your excuse for deleting, we cannot verify it. A 3 day posting restriction will be imposed for first offense. Delete a post to repost the same post within a 3 day period? Automatic 7 day ban for first offense.\n\n3\\. **If we ban you after you make a post, you done did goofed.** 3 rules broken in one post means you need to [read the rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/wiki/rules/rules). The ban is to give you time to do so.\n\n4\\. **If you are permanently banned "out of nowhere"**, either you asked for forbidden payments, have an unsettled issue with another (also banned) user, or have broken enough rules where you have a clear disregard for the etiquette of the subreddit. \n\n5\\. **Auctioning is not allowed.** Whether you explicitly state its an auction or use PMs to get higher offers "Someone already offered me +$XX so unless you can do better..." you will be banned. You list a price, and you pick one of the eligible buyers who meets that price **or lower**.\n\n#**Other**:\n\n1\\. **Stop confirming trades before receiving the item.** Flair isn\'t a competition. Confirm trade only when seller gets his PayPal payment **and** the buyer has the item that they tested and deemed exactly as described. Also **Local Trades cannot be used for flair**. If you confirm a local transaction in the Confirmed Trade Thread, you will lose all flair until you provide proof of ALL prior transactions.\n\n2\\. **Users *must* comment on your posts (and vice versa) before you continue with PM talks.** This is a key first step as it indicates the user *currently* isn\'t on our scammer list. They may still be a scammer with an alt, so abide by the payment rules and other wiki items.

The dollar index - which measures the greenback against a basket of other major currencies - dropped by 0.31% to 106.12 as of 02:40 EST (0640 GMT), hovering just above its lowest mark since July 5. The U.S. currency's yield-sensitive pairing with the yen (USD/JPY) also fell 0.86% to 135.38 yen after a sharp decline in the 2-year Treasury yield. It earlier touched 135.105 yen, the weakest level since July 6. The moves come after the Fed increased its policy target interest rate on Wednesday by three-quarters of a percent for the second month in a row. Traders focused in particular on statements from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who dropped guidance on the size of the next rate rise. That, in turn, heightened the possibility that the central bank could soon slow the pace of hikes. “We have the best part of two months until the September 21st FOMC meeting, a period that includes two jobs reports, two inflation reports and the Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium. A lot could happen in that time so it is unsurprising that the Fed is being somewhat vague in its forward guidance,” said analysts at ING, in a note. Also factoring into investors' minds is the latest reading of U.S. gross domestic product for the second quarter, which is due out later today. Another negative reading would meet the technical definition of a recession, though the United States chooses to define such an event differently. Meanwhile, the euro is marginally higher against the dollar, up 0.04% to $1.0206, ahead of preliminary German inflation data scheduled for release later on Thursday. Traders will be on the lookout for signs that price pressures in Europe's largest economy - and the broader Eurozone - are starting to ease. The pound also gained against the dollar, trading in the green by 0.16% to $1.2170.

See related article: Client accuses Bitcoin, Ethereum backer Three Arrows Capital of misappropriating funds Fast facts Henan’s financial authorities did not reveal the source of repayments it pledged to release.

On Sunday, nearly 3,000 people gathered at the People’s Bank of China’s Zhengzhou branch to protest against getting locked out of their deposits since April, leaving some protesters wounded and injured, according to viral online videos documented by online social media users . Local police claimed in a press release that Henan New Wealth Group and its head Lu Yi, the majority owner of three of the four rural banks, illegally transferred funds and manipulated banks’ data. China had 1,651 rural banks by the end of 2021, with 103 classified as “high financial risk,” according to the data from the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBRC) and the People’s Bank of China (PBoC).

You must ask yourself why Antpool would announce such an investment (a relatively trivial one at that - $10 million is fairly small compared to what most legitimate chains invest in development. Example, Polygon announced a $100 million developer fund a couple months ago on top of millions invested over the last year. Many more examples of other chains if you have been paying attention). \n\nThe reason is likely because Antpool is one of the biggest crypto miners, the 3rd largest Bitcoin mining pool and 14th largest Ethereum mining pool. As such, they have the most to lose when proof of work projects die out, which most inevitably will absent perhaps Bitcoin. They know Eth’s merge to proof of stake this year will further kill the utility of an already useless chain like Eth Classic. Without users, mining pools like Antpool that mine dead chains like Eth classic become less profitable. So they make an announcement of a trivial investment fund to get you to buy it so they can sell their mined Eth classic at a bit higher price.

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 Federal Reserve raised rates this week, by another 0.75%, toughening up its anti-inflationary stance. At the same time, Fed chair Jerome Powell indicated that the central bank may slow its pace on rate hikes, which gives some hope for a ‘soft landing,’ that may curb inflation while avoiding a deep recession. Markets rallied strongly in response to the Fed news.\nThe rally has made its way to cryptos, too, which have been tracking US stocks closely this summer. In particular, the largest crypto, Bitcoin, is up 21% this month.\nNexo crypto wallet co-founder Antoni Trenchev sees these developments as net gains, and predicts further near-term rally in BTC in his comments on the Fed meeting: “The conclusion of Wednesday’s Fed meeting opens up a summer window for a Bitcoin relief rally, given we now have two months until policymakers next deliberate on monetary policy.”\nSo it’s an interesting time to look at bitcoin mining stocks, which are highly correlated to the price of BTC. Using theTipRanks database, we identified two such equities that have received bullish praise from the Street, enough to earn a “Strong Buy” consensus rating. Let\'s take a closer look.\nCleanSpark(CLSK)\nThe first bitcoin miner we’ll look at it CleanSpark, a company with double-barreled focus – one barrel targeting bitcoin mining and the other aimed at clean energy. CleanSpark produces software products that allow close control of distributed energy systems, microgrids, and other off-the-grid power systems based on ‘green’ energy such as solar, wind, or nuclear. In CleanSpark’s particular case, it uses this technology to power its bitcoin mining operations.\nThose bitcoin mining ops are substantial. CleanSpark currently operates four mining facilities, in Texas, Georgia, and New York, and this month announced an expansion of mining capacity totaling 90 petahashes. This expansion was powered by the acquisition of new, ‘latest generation’ mining servers, 1,061 Whatsminer M30S machines, installed a facilities co-operated with Coinmint. In addition, CleanSpark also announced, in June, acquisition of a purchase contract for 1,800 Antminer S19 XP machines, along with water cooling infrastructure, for its mining facilities. These machines, when installed, will add another 252 petahashes per second to CleanSpark’s mining capabilities.\nAs of the end of June, CleanSpark’s BTC production had totaled 1,863 for the year. June’s production was 339, and production hit a company record-high rate of 12.1 BTC per day. The hashrate increased 12% from May, to a total hashrate of 2.8 EH/s. CleanSpark held a total of 561 BTC as of June 30, after converting 328 to pay for June operations.\nProduction on this scale delivered revenue of $41.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, compared to just $8.1 million in the year-ago quarter.\nAssuming coverage of CLSK for H.C. Wainwright, analystMike Colonneselikes what he sees in the company’s prospects for continued growth.\n"With a strong track record of solid execution and 600 megawatts (MW) of mining infrastructure already secured (capable of supporting ~20 EH/s), we are confident in CLSK’s future growth and ability to continue to win market share. As a top five miner with 2.8 EH/s of active hashing power, CLSK produced 339 BTC in the month of June (over 11/day). By our calculation, this makes CLSK the most efficient bitcoin miner in the industry (with an active EH/s >1)," Colonnese opined.\n“We believe the risk/reward profile for shares of CLSK is very favorable at current levels," the analyst summed up.\nTo this end, Colonnese rates CLSK shares a Buy, and his $6 price target implies a one-year potential gain of ~43% for the stock. (To watch Colonnese’s track record,click here)\nOverall, this small-cap bitcoin miner holds a Strong Buy consensus rating from the Wall Street analysts, and that rating is unanimous, based on 3 recent positive analyst reviews. The stock is selling for $4.20 and its $11.00 average price target indicates possible gain of ~162% in the year ahead. (See CLSK stock forecast on TipRanks)\nArgo Blockchain(ARBK)\nNext up is Argo Blockchain, a crypto mining firm based in London with its operations in North America. Argo has three active crypto mining facilities, one, Helios, located in Dickens County, Texas, and two located in Quebec, at Baie Comeau and Mirabel. The Mirabel facility is the smallest and the Texan location the largest; altogether, Argo boasts some 45 megawatts of power generation supporting 2.2 EH/s of bitcoin mining and 280 MS of equihash ZCash mining.\nLast month the company mined a total of 179 bitcoins, and increase of 44% over the May total of 124. The company sold off 637 bitcoin during the month to fund operations. Those operations included the ongoing expansion of the Helios crytpomining facility. Argo entered a contract for delivery and installation of 20,000 mining machines purchased from Bitmain; it is on track to complete this installation by October of this year. As of June 30, Argo held 1,953 bitcoin in its assets.\nDespite its solid production, growing exahash rate, and expanding operational footprint, Argo’s share price has been declining since its IPO last fall. The stock started trading on September 23, and closed its first day on the NASDAQ at $16.75; the stock is down 71% since then.\n5-star analystDarren Aftahi, of Roth Capital, has been covering Argo, and in his look at the company’s recent results he sees plenty of reason for longer-term optimism. Aftahi writes, “Helios began mining in early May and should provide a modest lift to 2Q mining capacity and a larger impact in 2H22 as ARBK looks to reach its 5.5 EH/s ending hash rate target... Overall, we remain encouraged that Helios should begin to enable ARBK to increase its network share back towards 1% by year-end and do so with little dilution risk to shareholders.”\nGoing on from these comments, Aftahi sets a Buy rating on ARBK shares – along with a $11 price target that indicates his confidence in a robust 142% upside for the next 12 months. (To watch Aftahi’s track record,click here)\nArgo has piqued the curiosity and attention of 5 Wall Street analysts, who have combined to give the shares a unanimous Strong Buy consensus rating. ARBK is currently trading for $4.84 and has an average price target of $11.40; this gives the stock a one-year upside potential of 135%.

US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data for June is scheduled for release at 1230GMT on Wednesday and, if last month’s CPI data release is anything to go by, could cause ructions in cryptocurrency markets. Traders will recall that the release of a hotter-than-expected May CPI report in mid-June at the time triggered a collapse in stock, bond, and cryptocurrency prices. That’s because the data forced the US Federal Reserve to accelerate the pace of interest rate increases at its June policy meeting to 75 bps from 50 bps at the meeting prior. TheFed minutesfrom its June meeting last week confirmed that the central bank accelerated the pace of rate hikes due to a “deterioration” in the near-term inflation outlook and that the central bank is prepared to implement another 50 or 75 bps rate hike at the upcoming July meeting. Long-term US bond prices have now largely risen back to/above their levels in June prior to the sell-off inducing CPI data release as bond investors price in a weaker US economic outlook. But stocks and crypto have nowhere near recovered back to pre-June’s CPI data release levels. Indeed, despite growing concerns that the US economy may be headed for recession and money markets that are pricing in a series Fed rate cuts starting in the second half of 2023, markets remained focused on the near-term outlook for Fed policy. Wednesday’s CPI data release is expected by analysts to show the headline YoY rise in prices reach 8.8%, a new multi-decade high. Meanwhile, the headline price index is seen rising over 1.0% MoM for a second successive month to reflect surging gas prices. If the upcoming CPI data release does show a further acceleration of US price pressures, even if not quite as acute as feared, that should keep the Fed on course to raise interest rates by a further 75 bps later this month. While the Fed has indicated that it is concerned about a slowdown in US growth, last week’s June jobs and ISM Services PMI survey data (both strong) will have eased fears about an imminent recession. All said, Wednesday’s CPI data appears to present downside risks to cryptocurrency prices. An upside inflation surprise would result in an upping of Fed tightening bets that would, like back in June, likely weigh heavily on risk assets like stocks and crypto. A CPI report that largely prints in line with expected would show a further rise in price pressures and solidify expectations for near-term Fed tightening. Whilst recent downside in crypto prices since last Friday probably reflects that this is already being priced in to some degree, further downside shouldn’t be ruled out. A big downside surprise would probably be needed to boost crypto.PCEinflation data, an alternative US inflation measure preferred by the Fed, released in June a few weeks after the CPI data saw its core measure fall to a six-month low. This contributed to hopes that US price pressures might have already peaked. Traders will thus be watching the core metrics in Wednesday’s CPI report for further evidence of so-called peak inflation. The YoY rate of core price increases is seen falling to its lowest since January of 5.7%. If it comes in even lower, the markets may start winding down Fed tightening bets for later this year and 2023. While Wednesday’s CPI data is probably going to reaffirm expectations for rapid near-term tightening from the Fed, some are hopeful that June USRetail Salesdata scheduled for release on Friday may contain evidence of a cooling of consumer demand. Headline Retail Sales are seen rising 0.8% MoM in June, according to a Reuters poll of economists. If MoM headline inflation comes in at 1.1% as expected, that implies a 0.3% decline in inflation-adjusted spending. That would mark a second successive monthly fall in real spending after inflation-adjusted retail sales fell 1.3% MoM in May. Clearly, the US consumer is feeling the bite of inflation. That much will be evident in the preliminary release of the JulyUniversity of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey, also on Friday, which is expected to show sentiment falling to a fresh all-time low. Many think that the current suffering of US consumers is a leading indicator that the economy might be headed into a near-term recession. If this week’s data results in a substantial build-up of recession bets, the market may begin winding down Fed tightening bets for late 2022/2023. That could offer cryptocurrencies some respite, even if sentiment gets hit on Wednesday by hot CPI figures. Another risk event to note this week is the unofficial start of the US earnings season, with a number of big US retail banks reporting figures for Q2 in the second half of the week. Investors have been fretting about how weakening growth may impact earnings and will thus be watching developments closely. Any downside in stocks on poor earnings could translate into weakness in crypto. Bitcoinis currently trading just under $20,000 and testing a key support trendline linking the mid-June, late-June and early-July lows. Should this week’s macro developments cause a deterioration in crypto sentiment and Bitcoin break below this uptrend, it is at risk of swiftly testing late-June lows in the mid-$18,000s and potentially even retesting annual lows in the mid-$17,000s.

If she were to admit that rates had almost doubled over the last six months, which as it happens they have, he clearly felt it would be fatal to her economic plans. The economy could not possibly be entrusted to someone that reckless.\nBut hold on. Is that really true? We have lived in a world of near-zero interest rates for 14 years now. We have become so used to them, we hardly even discuss them anymore. And yet, it now appears they are finally coming to an end as central banks around the world start to grapple with soaring inflation.\nIn the US, the Federal Reserve this week increased ratesby 0.75 percentage points, its fourth consecutive rise, and its benchmark lending rate is now at 2.5pc.\nThe Bank of England is steadily raising rates and will no doubt do so again in August. Even the European Central Bank (ECB) has finally, although belatedly, joined the party, with a 0.5 percentage points increase,its first increase after a decade with rates that were actually negative. Perhaps, as Sunak clearly believes, that will be a catastrophe for the global economy, plunging households and companies into bankruptcy, and we must do everything possible to keep cheap money flowing forever.\nAnd yet, it is also possible that zero rates were always an illusion, and one that ended up doing more harm than good. Ultra cheap money created a bitter generational divide as soaring house pricesmade it impossible for younger people to get on the property ladder; it created legions of zombie companies that were kept barely alive on easy credit; it encouraged feckless spending by governments that thought the bills would never fall due; it created an explosion of debt and fuelled asset-price bubbles; and it destroyed the incentive to save.\nTrue, free money might have helped rescue the economy in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009. But one day interest rates will have to get back to normal – and now is the moment.\n“By any historical measure, interest rates have been exceptionally low for the last 14 years,” says Nicholas Crafts, emeritus professor at Warwick University and an expert in British economic history. “Even in the [worldwide depression of the] 1930s they did not go below 2pc, and even that was only for a few years. And yet, over that time, growth and productivity and investment have also been very weak.”\nThe zero-rate era has lasted far longer than anyone originally thought possible. Rewind to 2008, with banks around the world crashing, and with the financial system in turmoil, and central banks around the world slashed rates to 300-year lows. From 5pc before the crisis, by March 2009 the Bank of England had taken rates all the way down to just 0.5pc, the lowest level since it was founded in 1694, in an effort to boost the economy.\nAt the same time, it launched the first round of what was then a new-fangled strategycalled “quantitative easing”, a polite term for what used to be known as printing money. It was sold as a short-term crisis measure to prevent a re-run of the Great Depression.\nOnce everything was back to normal, interest rates would be raised again. But the return to normal never arrived. Instead, rates remained close to zero for the next decade, and were then cut again, all the way down to 0.1pc in the UK, to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. In some countries, such as Sweden and Switzerland, and the eurozone, rates even went below zero.\nIn a through-the-looking-glass financial twist, you actually had to pay the bank to look after your money for you. Nothing like that had ever happened in financial history before.\nNo one denies the strategy helped the global economy recover from the crash of 2008. After a steep initial fall in output, most developed countries bounced back fairly quickly. The trouble was, as the years went by, financial and asset markets became more and more distorted. Like opioids, zero rates may have been effective in an emergency – but they quickly became addictive and potentially fatal as well.\nTake housing, to start with. As mortgage rates fell, debt loads became easier and easier to service for anyone who already owned a property, sending prices soaring upwards, and locking a whole generation out of the market.

Another upside surprise, like happened last month, could send crypto into a tailspin as markets up Fed tightening bets. Some are hopeful that consumer spending/sentiment data out on Friday could indicate US economic cooling, reducing Fed tightening fears. Markets Brace for US CPI Data Release US Consumer Price Index ( CPI ) inflation data for June is scheduled for release at 1230GMT on Wednesday and, if last month’s CPI data release is anything to go by, could cause ructions in cryptocurrency markets. Traders will recall that the release of a hotter-than-expected May CPI report in mid-June at the time triggered a collapse in stock, bond, and cryptocurrency prices. That’s because the data forced the US Federal Reserve to accelerate the pace of interest rate increases at its June policy meeting to 75 bps from 50 bps at the meeting prior. The Fed minutes from its June meeting last week confirmed that the central bank accelerated the pace of rate hikes due to a “deterioration” in the near-term inflation outlook and that the central bank is prepared to implement another 50 or 75 bps rate hike at the upcoming July meeting. Long-term US bond prices have now largely risen back to/above their levels in June prior to the sell-off inducing CPI data release as bond investors price in a weaker US economic outlook. But stocks and crypto have nowhere near recovered back to pre-June’s CPI data release levels. Indeed, despite growing concerns that the US economy may be headed for recession and money markets that are pricing in a series Fed rate cuts starting in the second half of 2023, markets remained focused on the near-term outlook for Fed policy. Wednesday’s CPI data release is expected by analysts to show the headline YoY rise in prices reach 8.8%, a new multi-decade high. Meanwhile, the headline price index is seen rising over 1.0% MoM for a second successive month to reflect surging gas prices. If the upcoming CPI data release does show a further acceleration of US price pressures, even if not quite as acute as feared, that should keep the Fed on course to raise interest rates by a further 75 bps later this month. Story continues While the Fed has indicated that it is concerned about a slowdown in US growth, last week’s June jobs and ISM Services PMI survey data (both strong) will have eased fears about an imminent recession. Downside Risks to Crypto All said, Wednesday’s CPI data appears to present downside risks to cryptocurrency prices. An upside inflation surprise would result in an upping of Fed tightening bets that would, like back in June, likely weigh heavily on risk assets like stocks and crypto. A CPI report that largely prints in line with expected would show a further rise in price pressures and solidify expectations for near-term Fed tightening. Whilst recent downside in crypto prices since last Friday probably reflects that this is already being priced in to some degree, further downside shouldn’t be ruled out. A big downside surprise would probably be needed to boost crypto. PCE inflation data, an alternative US inflation measure preferred by the Fed, released in June a few weeks after the CPI data saw its core measure fall to a six-month low. This contributed to hopes that US price pressures might have already peaked. Traders will thus be watching the core metrics in Wednesday’s CPI report for further evidence of so-called peak inflation. The YoY rate of core price increases is seen falling to its lowest since January of 5.7%. If it comes in even lower, the markets may start winding down Fed tightening bets for later this year and 2023. Retail Respite While Wednesday’s CPI data is probably going to reaffirm expectations for rapid near-term tightening from the Fed, some are hopeful that June US Retail Sales data scheduled for release on Friday may contain evidence of a cooling of consumer demand. Headline Retail Sales are seen rising 0.8% MoM in June, according to a Reuters poll of economists. If MoM headline inflation comes in at 1.1% as expected, that implies a 0.3% decline in inflation-adjusted spending. That would mark a second successive monthly fall in real spending after inflation-adjusted retail sales fell 1.3% MoM in May. Clearly, the US consumer is feeling the bite of inflation. That much will be evident in the preliminary release of the July University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey , also on Friday, which is expected to show sentiment falling to a fresh all-time low. Many think that the current suffering of US consumers is a leading indicator that the economy might be headed into a near-term recession. If this week’s data results in a substantial build-up of recession bets, the market may begin winding down Fed tightening bets for late 2022/2023. That could offer cryptocurrencies some respite, even if sentiment gets hit on Wednesday by hot CPI figures. Another risk event to note this week is the unofficial start of the US earnings season, with a number of big US retail banks reporting figures for Q2 in the second half of the week. Investors have been fretting about how weakening growth may impact earnings and will thus be watching developments closely. Any downside in stocks on poor earnings could translate into weakness in crypto. Bitcoin at Risk of Breaking Key Support Bitcoin is currently trading just under $20,000 and testing a key support trendline linking the mid-June, late-June and early-July lows. Should this week’s macro developments cause a deterioration in crypto sentiment and Bitcoin break below this uptrend, it is at risk of swiftly testing late-June lows in the mid-$18,000s and potentially even retesting annual lows in the mid-$17,000s.

It is as if your bank is no longer allowing you to withdraw from your savings accounts. How would you feel? Would you not feel betrayed?,” he added. Niraj’s letter is one of more than a hundred filed to the court and made available to the public by judges in these cases, which includes revelations from users who have lost money or believe they were misled by each company. On June 12, Celsius told its customers it would freeze all withdrawals on its platform. Three weeks later fellow crypto lender Voyager did the same thing. In the first two weeks of July both crypto firms filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The fate of each of the platforms’ customers is in the hands of the courts. “The thousands of us Voyager customers hope that you will carefully take our lives and livelihoods into consideration while presiding over this case,” wrote Jacoub Hammodeh, a customer who trusted Voyager with his holdings. Hammadoeh highlights the company “was publicly listed, implying responsible stewardship of my assets.” Hammadoeh points out the platform’s CEO, Stephen Ehrlich, was positioned as a veteran in the industry, and “Voyager claimed to have full FDIC protection on USD balances.” Stephen Ehrlich, CEO and Co-Founder Voyager Digital Ltd., speaks during the Piper Sandler Global Exchange and FinTech Conference in New York City, U.S., June 8, 2022. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid (Brendan McDermid / reuters) Last week, the Federal Reserve and FDIC issued a joint letter demanding Voyager cease and desist from making false statements regarding its FDIC insurance status. The customer admits he strongly considered withdrawing his crypto in early June, but was “reassured not to” by a Voyager press release which read: “The company is well capitalized and in a good position to weather this cycle and protect customer assets.” Story continues Using half her proceeds from the sale of a family business, Lisa Dagnoli, a mother of four, put over a million dollars in bitcoin, ether, and USDC on Voyager’s platform. Now, she’s outraged by the firm’s proposal to reimburse creditors in part with equity and tokens for a new company. “I take responsibility for investment and risk, but the Voyager leaders and Voyager Digital, LLC needs to take responsibility for giving us back what we are due, in full,” Dagnoli, wrote in a letter filed with the court. \'The business is doing very well\' Like other customers turned creditors of Celsius Network who have been interviewed by Yahoo Finance , a portion are calling for the removal of Celsius’ management given its statements leading up to June 12, when the company halted customer withdrawals. Celsius owes $4.7 billion to its customers and is facing a hole of $1.2 billion between reported assets and outstanding liabilities, its latest bankruptcy presentation showed. Earlier this month, the company floated repaying customers through its bitcoin mining subsidiary. Robert Cominos, a Celsius customer of about one year who “transferred about $250,000” onto its platform, claims in his letter that interviews give by the company’s co-founder and CEO, Alex Mashinsky, convinced him to make the move. “The business is doing very well,” Mashinsky told a reporter on April 13 . “Celsius is a magnet for yield, a magnet for people who want to save and earn income,” Mashinsky told Yahoo Finance in June 2021 . “We just crossed 800,000 users and many, many of them live off that income.” LISBON, PORTUGAL - 2021/11/04: Alex Mashinsky, Founder and CEO at Celsius, addresses the audience during the last day of the Web Summit 2021 in Lisbon.

In its post, Celsius claimed “a handful of haters” were spreading misinformation about the company. “Celsius has the reserves (and more than enough ETH) to meet obligations, as dictated by our comprehensive liquidity risk management framework,” the company stated. Five days later Celsius, said it would halt all customer withdrawals on the platform. A month later, the company announced it had filed for bankruptcy. Not everything, but not nothing These personal stories are also “going to give the judges a sense that for many of these customers the impact of these bankruptcies are wide reaching and deeply affect their lives,” bankruptcy litigator Daniel Saval told Yahoo Finance. Whether and how these customers are made whole, however, is a difficult path to chart for customers right now, in Saval’s view. “I think it’s going to be a challenge,” said Saval. “The way these exchanges work, is that they typically pool the contents of customer accounts together. Meaning that they are not holding segregated accounts. As a result, in those circumstances, the likely result is that the property will be deemed to be owned by the bankruptcy estates, as opposed to being owned by the customers themselves.” In bankruptcy proceedings, secured creditors typically get first dibs at any money. Unsecured creditors are usually next on the list. But before any claimants receive their due, bankrupt firms must pay operational costs and legal fees through the bankruptcy process. “There is no blueprint under the bankruptcy code to decide what happens in these circumstances for the customers. This is all new,” said Saval. “If [the customers] are considered unsecured creditors, then in theory, they could get pooled with all other types of creditors. In theory they could all be grouped together,” explained Saval. Though both crypto lenders have proposed some form of a repayment plan , a distribution plan is far from decided in either case, according to Adam Levitin, a Professor at Georgetown School of Law and principal with financial advisory, Gordian Group. Whether distributions are paid out in crypto assets or fiat currencies depends first on if the companies liquidate their remaining crypto assets and second, on the distribution plan either case’s organized creditors committee agrees to by a majority vote. “I can say with almost absolute certainty that customers are not going to get nothing and they’re not going to be paid out in full,” Levitin told Yahoo Finance. He added that because either proceeding could “go on for years,” customers anticipating a payout will need to account for other factors, such as the crypto market’s volatility and inflation. Earlier this month, Voyager responded to a joint proposal by FTX and Alameda Research that pitched an offer to buy customer accounts. The offer argued it reduced the risk for customers holding unsecured claims with Voyager in return for FTX potentially acquiring those creditors as new customers. (Photo illustration by Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images) (NurPhoto via Getty Images) In its response , Voyager claimed the offer made “several false and misleading assertions” about its business. “It’s a low-ball bid dressed up as a white knight rescue,” the legal document stated. Such a transaction could reduce the risk for customers holding unsecured claims over the length of a complex bankruptcy proceeding. But, as Levitin pointed out, it won’t change whether customers see a full reimbursement on their claims. \'Curated B.S.\' Letters from Celsius and Voyager customers show users pleading for their assets back, though they reflect a clear uncertainty about whether they’ll ever see that money again. “I now feel regretful for believing into (sic) their marketing strategy and potentially losing my family’s life savings,” Voyager customer Digant Goyal wrote in his letter to Judge Wiles. Goyal’s sentiment is echoed by Daniel James Howley who told the court , “a majority of my lifelong assets, accumulated through some ups and more downs as an entrepreneur, are locked on Voyager with no telling if, when and how much of them I will gain access to again.” “My savings to buy a home, build and support a family, and invest in my future, are all locked away in that account,” he added. Chapman Shallcross, a retired firefighter, held $244,000 in ETH and ADA on another crypto lender, BlockFi before moving assets to Celsius Network “based completely off of the overwhelming positive feedback,” he wrote in his letter . “And, now I find all that information I had gathered was curated B.S." For Amanda Gan, a Celsius customer, the company’s bankruptcy and the uncertainty surrounding her $167,000 in crypto assets has led to “significant distress,” according to her letter . “Losing this amount of our savings will have irreparable consequences for our family,” she relented. — Click here for the latest crypto news, updates, values, prices, and more related to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, DeFi and NFTs Read the latest financial and business news from Yahoo Finance Download the Yahoo Finance app for Apple or Android Follow Yahoo Finance on Twitter , Facebook , Instagram , Flipboard , LinkedIn , and YouTube', 'Recent court documents filed in the bankruptcy cases of Voyager Digital and Celsius Network reveal the financial ruin potentially facing customers of both companies.\n“The money that my wife and I were hoping to use for our young daughter’s education in the future is now locked up,” Niraj, a Voyager customer, wrote in astatementto Judge Michael Wiles.\n“I have been in shock since Voyager halted withdrawals.

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:** ["UPDATE (Aug. 1, 17:11 UTC): Clarifies headline and fixes transcript to reflect that it was not the addition of know-your-customer (KYC) identity checks, but rather the anti-money-laundering (AML) measure of removing sanctioned accounts in part because they hadn't gone through KYC, that cost Binance billions in revenue. Also corrects name of the executives' department (investigations, which reports to compliance but is separate). Three leading members of Binance\x92s investigations team opened up about what it takes to deal with fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing and bad press for the world\x92s largest crypto exchange. Reuters recently published a series of investigative reports on Binance and its association with illicit activity. The news service claimed that Binance has become a hub for criminal activity and that it overlooked several money-laundering red flags . Reuters claimed also that Hydra, a Russian-language darknet market, has links deeply entrenched within Binance\x92s user base, stating that the exchange facilitated $780 million in payments related to Hydra since 2017. Binance\x92s investigations team is now led by Tigran Gambaryan and Matthew Price, former investigators at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service\x92s cybercrime unit. Both men played roles in taking down prominent darknet markets AlphaBay, Silk Road and Hydra . The exchange, which operates in numerous jurisdictions despite not having a formally registered headquarters , also recruited ex-HSBC sanctions expert Chagri Poyraz as its new global head of sanctions compliance. CoinDesk reached out to Binance to verify Reuters\x92 claims and ended up having two long conversations with Gambaryan, Price and Poyraz. They disputed a number of the claims, including allegations that Binance disproportionately facilitates more money-laundering than other exchanges and Binance has become a hotbed for criminality. At times, the executives sounded like pub patrons venting to a bartender, occasionally using pejoratives to describe journalists, and such comments should be taken with a pinch of salt. Story continues Nevertheless, they spoke with surprising candor on how the criminal underworld remains firmly ingrained within the crypto industry, despite their best efforts, In the process they offered a rare window into how they tracked down some of the world\x92s most notorious cybercriminals, all while trying to keep the lid on illicit funds being siphoned through Binance. What do you make of the claims connecting Binance to Hydra? Matthew Price: Yes, Hydra was humongous and yes, it did business in Russia, so it\x92s like saying that Bank of America supports money laundering for drug cartels. It really paints this picture that \x93Binance knew this market was operating, so they must support it.\x94 Tigran Gambaryan: You can\x92t control the money that\x92s going in. You cannot control deposits. You can control what you do afterward. When Indian scammers ask people to get Apple gift cards, does that mean Apple is now laundering hundreds of millions of dollars? No. The criminals go for the easiest and cheapest way possible. If Binance was the cheapest, why wouldn\x92t they use it? MP: A good example, we identified HitBTC accounts that processed transactions [referring to two Canadian citizens who were charged with stealing $220,000 while posing as employees of a Hong Kong-based exchange]. We only had the email address. With that email address we [while working at the IRS] could obtain search warrants and we could see the content of those. We could see that the user was paying himself with gift cards. I was able to link it through email accounts, so I never got to a KYC (know your customer) crypto account until quite far down the investigation, but I already knew who that was and what they were doing. MP: The only part KYC played was where he needed to get his fiat out. Coinbase, Circle and Kraken picked up on the transaction piece that came from the Helix mixer and kicked him off the platform. So he went off the exchange and started using initially LocalBitcoins , then face-to-face meetups . The exchanges are not where the dirty money happens. It\x92s offline because these guys know this [that activity is traced]. They don\x92t want to use exchanges. If [the criminal] tried to use Binance, the transaction would get picked up with transaction monitoring. TG: Even in 2019, I was able to identify those two knuckleheads who were related to the Twitter VIP scam. That was Mason Sheppard in the U.K. That was all done through Binance. How does Binance compare to other exchanges in terms of illicit activity? TG: We did a study. If you take into consideration illicit funds going in against the total volume of the exchange, yes, there\x92s illegal money going in, but there\x92s a lot of money going in. Binance is better or the same as most exchanges. Our stuff was drastically better than Kraken, better than Coinbase in some areas and worse in some areas. But there\x92s not a single outlier. We operate in different jurisdictions. It makes our job challenging. That\x92s why we have to focus more on those jurisdictions [France, Italy, Dubai]. But us working in those jurisdictions allows law enforcement agencies to take action. We are doing a lot of incredible work. I can\x92t comment on what happened in the past as none of us were here. The whole industry was [messed] up \x96 the whole thing was just kind of developing. They all went through this period when [bad things] happened. Reuters claimed that users can evade sanctions and skirt the law by using VPNs (virtual private networks). What is your take on that? TG: Here\x92s the thing about VPNs. No exchange blocks VPNs, for the record. No crypto exchange blocks VPN activity. VPN activity is not an indication of criminal activity. It is not by itself an indication that someone is a criminal. Using a VPN is not illegal and it is not something that exchanges block. With that being said, without getting into specifics, VPN activity can be useful [for investigations]. Because there are certain players that have patterns of using this \x96 and that, in conjunction with other things, will then tell us who these people might be. VPN was never something that stopped me from identifying someone. I\x92ve never once been stung by a VPN. (Poyraz, who spoke to CoinDesk from Davos, Switzerland, where he was meeting 30 industry leaders, added that the exchange continues to serve Iranian customers outside of Iran because doing so isn\x92t a breach of U.S. sanctions. Reuters alleged that several Iranian traders had accessed Binance from 2019 to 2021 before the exchange tightened its KYC process. This week, The New York Times reported that rival exchange Kraken will likely face fines from the Treasury Department on suspicions that the exchange allowed Iranian users to use the platform.) Chagri Poyraz: From a sanctions point of view, Iranian citizens living outside Iran is not even an issue for OFAC [Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. agency that enforces sanctions]. \x85 If it\x92s North Korea or Syria, those are U.N. sanctions. They are applicable anywhere that U.N. sanctions are recognized. But if it's U.S. sanctions, which is Iran and Cuba, it\x92s only applicable according to U.S. legislation and enforcement. And by the way, they will never go after Iranian citizens living abroad. It is illegal to do that. TG: In European countries, it\x92s illegal for companies to comply with U.S. sanctions against Iran. [Sanctions rules between Europe and the U.S. are vague and contradictory, according to a Financial Times report ]. CP: The reason Binance hires people like Tigran and me is to build sophistication around the sanctions program. I actually enabled an Iranian refugee in the U.K. to get a Binance account. Even that was not allowed before [Binance improved its controls to make a distinction between a resident and national of a sanctioned country], which was a wrong thing to do. TG: It is illegal to comply with U.S. sanctions in the EU. This shows again the complicated fact that we are not a U.S. entity. We take a very conservative approach that is putting us at risk in non-U.S. jurisdictions. But we are complying with [U.S. sanctions]. Our compliance with them is putting us technically in an illegal position in other jurisdictions as my understanding is that it goes against EU law. CP: Just to expand, please ask any bank if they open accounts for Iranian accounts for people residing in their country or the United States. The answer will be yes. \x85 If you want to talk about Iranians living in Iran, we take every single measure. Yes, there is always evasion, but when there is evasion, we find it and upgrade our controls. Reuters reported that Telegram messages suggested that Binance CEO Changpeng \x93CZ\x94 Zhao ignored calls from compliance officers over a loose KYC and anti-money-laundering (AML) policy. What is your view on CZ? TG: CZ has been incredibly supportive. CP: I have been a compliance officer for 17-plus years now. The main job is to explain to the business, including the CEO, what the risk and the problem is and to make a risk-based decision. You never ask them to do something illegal, but if there is something in a gray area, make a risk based decision. The CZ I know \x96 and I\x92ve been here long enough \x96 when you explain something to him, I have never seen him hesitate [to act properly]. He will never do the wrong thing. TG: He did not have the same caliber of people around him that he does now. This was a small company. They grew, and look at the people they have now. I can\x92t defend anything that happened before. We are here fixing those issues. I know for a fact that CZ has made decisions that have cost [Binance] a ton of money. We out-platformed accounts that had millions of users on it because of those risk-based decisions. Because it was the right thing to do. It cost billions of dollars, b **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [30467.49, 29704.39, 29832.91, 29906.66, 31370.67, 31155.48, 30214.36, 30112.00, 29083.80, 28360.81, 26762.65, 22487.39, 22206.79, 22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63, 20104.02, 19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21, 20860.45, 19970.56, 19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Most Read from Bloomberg Putin Gets Unexpected Pushback From Ally Over War in Ukraine Bitcoin, Ether Bounce Off Lows After Record-Breaking Rout Putin May Win in Ukraine, But the Real War Is Just Starting US Rejects China’s Claims Over Taiwan Strait as Concerns Grow Fed’s Inflation Battle to Strip Workers of Rare Bargaining Power Lead negotiators for G-7 member states have been exploring the mechanism as part of preparations for the summit in the Bavarian alps in Germany on June 26-28, said the people, who asked not to be identified talking about private conversations. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in late February has upended Europe’s ties with Russia and exposed its high level of energy dependence on it. It has forced a rapid recalibration including moves to ensure supply from elsewhere before the next winter when demand traditionally spikes for household heating. The use of a price cap mechanism on Russian energy has been championed by Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi but remains problematic among some other states, given concerns it could distort markets or risk retaliation. Moscow already fired a warning shot in that regard this week with cuts in supply to countries including Germany, Italy and France, right as the leaders of those nations visited Kyiv to support Ukraine’s bid for candidacy to join the European Union. Others are concerned that Moscow could simply find new buyers if not enough countries join a price cap. The topic is not yet on the official summit agenda, the people said. The G-7 is made up of the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Canada. A price cap would set an upper limit on imports of gas or oil or both from Russia, which would be imposed unilaterally by each participating country and prevent Russia selling at a higher price. For European nations, it’s also a way to potentially defray inflation driven by energy prices. While diplomats are discussing the possibility of applying the mechanism to both oil and gas, talks on oil are gaining more traction, according to two of the people. Draghi discussed the matter with President Joe Biden during a visit to Washington in May, when the Italian prime minister also spoke publicly about creating a “cartel” of oil buyers. Draghi told reporters on Thursday that Russia was cutting gas supplies by 15%-30% but prices have increased the same amount, and “Italy’s initiative to propose a cap on gas prices is gaining traction in this is context.” An Italian government spokesman had no comment on whether it would make it onto the G-7 summit agenda. Story continues A senior French official said they are looking at all proposals that would maintain pressure on Russia and lessen the economic impact the war in Ukraine is causing. Draghi also said Moscow’s claims that supply cuts were not deliberate, but rather due to technical glitches, were “lies.” G-7 nations and the EU have agreed to phase out Russian oil imports. Earlier this month, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said talks on setting up a buyers group were “extremely active.” “There would need to be a reasonably large group of countries that would go along with it, and it would be necessary to create such a coalition,” Yellen said. Capping gas prices remains a more problematic option than oil as some EU nations remain highly dependent on Russian supplies and there are no plans to ban imports any time soon. Some of those countries are concerned that Moscow could respond by halting exports. European politicians have already accused the Kremlin of using gas for political ends. Other ideas to curb Moscow’s income, such as a ban on providing insurance and shipping services to move Russian oil anywhere in the world have so far made less headway amid worries it could simply squeeze prices even higher, according to the people.

The watch-selling platform Chrono24 told reporters there that the dip has “directly impacted pricing of luxury watches from brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe.” Supply for prestige watches like the Rolex Daytona (starting at $17,194 plus shipping on Chrono24) and the Patek Nautilus 5711A (starting at $101,783 plus shipping) is “now much larger,” according to the company.", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetsilver/comments/wd2yo7/crypto_bros_are_trying_to_ditch_their_rolexes/', 'wd2yo7', [['u/Southern_Addition442', 19, '2022-08-01 02:21', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetsilver/comments/wd2yo7/crypto_bros_are_trying_to_ditch_their_rolexes/iig58fb/', '![gif](giphy|LSk5aGh2WYL6g)', 'wd2yo7'], ['u/Silverhairedape', 14, '2022-08-01 02:31', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetsilver/comments/wd2yo7/crypto_bros_are_trying_to_ditch_their_rolexes/iig6g0l/', 'But muh investment', 'wd2yo7'], ['u/S1LVERSTAK', 15, '2022-08-01 02:38', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Wallstreetsilver/comments/wd2yo7/crypto_bros_are_trying_to_ditch_their_rolexes/iig7aut/', 'They know what time it is 😄', 'wd2yo7']]], ['u/jamescowens', 'Gridcoin 5.4.0.0-mandatory "Kermit\'s Mom"', 50, '2022-08-01 02:10', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin/comments/wd3063/gridcoin_5400mandatory_kermits_mom/', '## [5.4.0.0] 2022-08-01, mandatory, "Kermit\'s Mom"\n\nhttps://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/releases/tag/5.4.0.0\n\nThe Gridcoin core developers are proud to release 5.4.0.0 which represents the\nKermit\'s Mom milestone. This is a _mandatory_ release and includes the _long-\nawaited implementation of Manual Reward Claims (MRC)_ and significant\nimprovments to poll and project structures among many other enhancements and\nfixes.\n\n### Highlights\n#### Manual Reward Claims (MRC)\n\nThe importance of this release to the community cannot be overstated. One of the\nmost significant challenges to new "crunchers" joining the Gridcoin community\nis the payment of the 2nd layer crunching rewards to the crunchers for work they\nare doing for network approved BOINC projects. The implementation of constant\nblock rewards (CBR) a number of years back improved the participation of wallets\nin the staking process dramatically, raising the average difficulty on the\nnetwork from about 3 to greater than 18 today, representing more than \n180000000 GRC continuously online and staking. This has drastically improved\nsecurity of Gridcoin, making it much more resistant to 51% attacks, but has had\nthe downside of increasing the effective minimum GRC required to solo crunch\nto 5000 GRC or more. Without MRC, which is in this release, solo crunchers are\nrequired to stake to get paid their rewards.\n\nMost people regard having enough GRC to stake on average once a month is the\npractical minimum for solo crunching, so 5000 GRC is effectively the minimum\nbar for entry for solo crunching. Needless to say this is a giant challenge\nfor many newcomers and greatly harms the growth of the network. The pools help\nwith the problem by providing a way to earn GRC and eventually collect enough \nto solo crunch, but they have a drawback in that the project research when pool \ncrunching is done in the name of the pool, not the cruncher. MRC sweeps that\ngiant hurdle away. With MRC you can solo crunch with only about 1 GRC to start. \nYou simply need enough to send a beacon advertisement (which is the new solo \ncruncher\'s way of letting the network know that they want to get rewarded for \ncrunching). MRC will now allow a solo cruncher with an active beacon to request \npayment at intervals as small as 14 days from the last time they were paid. \nThere is no minimum payment threshold, only the minimum time threshold. This \nrequest for payment is a "manual reward claim" request, which is where the name \nMRC came from originally. Note that what is going on under the hood is that the \nrequester is sending out a "MRC" request contract that is attached to a \ntransaction in the Gridcoin blockchain, which is picked up by the next staker, \nand causes the staker to stake the reward for the requester as a delegate. \nEssentially MRC is a form of delegated staking. Note that for this privilege \nthe requester will pay a portion of their reward as a fee to the staker and the \nfoundation. The total fee starts at 40% of the rewards at 14 days and then \ndeclines as 14/(number of days) as the interval between payments is increased. \nThe foundation gets 80% of the fees and the staker 20%. These ratios were set \nand approved by official poll\n(id 651a3d7cbb797ee06bd8c2b17c415223d77bb296434866ddf437a42b6d1e9d89, \nhttps://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Tasks/issues/250).\n\nTo give a specific example, a new cruncher registers their beacon and starts \ncrunching. They have a pretty good computer and their magnitude has been \nbuilding to the point where at 14 days they have about 35 GRC pending as \nrewards. At 14 days after the activation of their beacon, the MRC payment \nbutton on the main screen will allow them to request payment of their rewards. \nIf they press the button at 14 days, then the requester will get 35 * (1 - \n0.40) or 21 GRC. The foundation will get 0.80 * 0.40 * 35 or 11.2 GRC and the \nstaker will get 0.20 * 0.40 * 35 = 2.8 GRC. If the cruncher waits until 28 days \nto request the reward, lets assume his or her magnitude is constant, so the \nrewards have doubled, so now the requester has 70 GRC pending. If they press \nthe button at 28 days, then the requester will get 70 * (1 - 0.20) or 56 GRC. \nThe foundation will get 0.80 * 0.20 * 70 or 11.2 GRC and the staker will get \n0.20 * 0.20 * 70 or 2.8 GRC. Notice that the effective fee to the foundation \nand the staker at 28 days is the same as at 14 days. This is by design. The \nfoundation and staker fees _decline_ as a percentage from the point of view of \nthe requester\'s total rewards as the time between payment requests increase \nbeyond 14 days, but from the point of view of the foundation and staker, the \nfees essentially are computed at the 14 day point and remain capped as absolute \nnumbers.\n\nThe MRC request button will appear on the wallet main screen for crunchers \nwith active beacons and will allow MRC requests once the block v12 \nfunctionality block height is reached. This is the post Kermit\'s Mom release \nhardfork point, and it will be at block 2671700, which will occur on or about \nAugust 31, 2022.\n\nSome resources to review for MRC and related concepts:\n\n - Solo crunching guide: https://gridcoin.us/guides/boinc-install.htm\n - Staking: https://gridcoin.us/wiki/staking.html\n - Beacons: https://gridcoin.us/wiki/beacons.html\n - MRC core functionality: \nhttps://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/pull/2425\...

Marathon\'s ability to refinance stands out because crypto prices have fallen so much this year, putting the company and other bitcoin miners on shakier financial ground. The lending market has also dramatically cooled down as the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates. The Silvergate credit line gives Marathon flexibility to navigate the market volatility. Marathon noted on Monday that it hadn\'t drawn any of the initial Silvergate credit line, which was set to expire in October. The two facilities are secured by bitcoin and will expire in June 2024. The new term loan includes a delayed draw facility, meaning Marathon can draw $50 million at the time of closing and another $50 million 270 days after closing, the press release said. The term loan comes with a variable interest rate, which is currently set at 7.25%, the firm said. When Marathon announced its initial revolving credit facility from Silvergate in October 2021, its active fleet of miners stood at 25,272. At the end of June, it counted only 6,300 active miners, according to its June operational update . The firm has 29,640 bitcoin mining rigs waiting energization in in West Texas, it said in the update. This is largely because hosting firm Compute North\'s energy provider is waiting for federal regulators to approve its tax-exempt status, Marathon said.

It was a sixth consecutive day in the red, with the Fear & Greed Index bearish. • The downside came despite a late NASDAQ 100 relief rally, with bitcoin hitting reverse after the US market close. • Technical indicators are bearish, with bitcoin below the 50-day EMA. On Friday, bitcoin (BTC) slid by 3.31%. Following a 0.93% fall on Thursday, bitcoin ended the day at $19,249. A bullish session saw BTC rally to an early high of $20,818 before hitting reverse. BTC broke through the First Major Resistance Level at $20,493 before sliding to a late low of $18,952. The extended sell-off saw BTC test support at the First Major Support Level at $18,974 before a partial recovery to $19,200 levels. On Friday, the NASDAQ 100 found late support to end the day in positive territory. BTC tracked the NASDAQ through the day before a post-US market close reversal. For the week, the NASDAQ slid by 4.13%, however, while bitcoin was down 8.48% Monday through Friday. Crypto headwinds continued to weigh on investor appetite. An anticipated shift in the regulatory landscape, fears of a US recession, and sentiment towards central bank monetary policy remained market negatives. This morning, the Fear & Greed Index increased from 11/100 to 14/00. Bitcoin’s extended losing streak failed to send the Index to sub-10/100 going into the weekend. While the upward trend would suggest improving market conditions, the Index has remained within a tight range since falling into the “Extreme Fear” zone. A move beyond 14/100 and an upward trend towards 25/100 would signal a shift in investor sentiment. The Index last visited the “Fear Zone” on May 5, when BTC stood at $36,630. At the time of writing, BTC was down 0.36% to $19,179. A mixed start to the day saw BTC rise to a high of $19,355 before falling to a low of $19,047. BTC left the Major Support and Resistance Levels untested early on. BTC will need to move through the $19,675pivotto target the First Major Resistance Level at $20,396 and the Friday high of $20,818. BTC would need plenty of support to break back through to $20,000. An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $21,535. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $23,405. Failure to move through the pivot would bring the First Major Support Level at $18,529 into play. Barring another extended sell-off, BTC should avoid sub-$18,000 and the Second Major Support Level at $17,806. The Third Major Support Level sits at $15,941. Looking at theEMAsand the 4-hourly candlestick chart (below), it was a bearish signal. This morning, bitcoin sat below the 50-day EMA, currently at $20,220. The 50-day EMA fell back from the 100-day EMA. The 100-day EMA eased back from the 100-day EMA, bitcoin price negative. A move through the 50-day EMA would bring the Major Resistance Levels into play. However, the Friday fall through the 50-day EMA does leave the Major Support Levels in play.

The old age saying of only put money into Crypto that you are prepared to lose is extremely valuable. This post will aim to give you a bit of an insight into how I became successful in trading crypto and give you some real examples of how I read the charts and try to minimize my risk. Day trading or swing trading is not my only tactic, it took me years to get comfortable with a strategy that is successful so I’ll also hopefully give you some tips and tricks that will allow you to also get more familiar with the trading concepts, but while minimizing your risk profile.\n\nThis is my own way of trading and accumulating more crypto - I'm not a professional trader and I don't pretend to be the next big thing. But I've learned a lot over the last few years and have come up with something that works for me - this post explains some of the logic and trading fundamentals that I think about. The post is not to shill any project - it is honest with what I held/am holding - but how and why I did what I did is the important lesson here, not to blindly copy my portfolio or style. You need to get something that works for you.\n\n**My Crypto trading fundamentals**\n\nThese are some of MY fundamental principles with crypto – again it’s not an exhaustive list and I’ve built this up over the years – but some of these set the foundation reasoning as to why I did what I did. My strategy is far from perfect, but my main aim is to accumulate crypto over time and trust that the fiat value will take care of itself (assuming I backed the right horse) Hopefully you’ll see some of the examples in my journey below – but if you want a tldr version of my post summary, then the below list is where to go.\n\n1. Research every project you invest into – for 3+ months before you invest. If you cannot explain it in simple terms to a non-technical person (e.g. your Grandma) as why it’s a good investment and what the niche is – you didn’t do enough research or the project is just shit and should be avoided.\n2. Do not touch leverage you fucking degenerate\n3. Make sure you have the keys / control your own crypto (the majority of your stack should be held offline, but you can trade some of your portfolio on a reputable exchange e.g. Coinbase/Kraken not some tiny shitty one with that has higher chance of going under)\n4. Never FOMO – if you miss a spike and pump, you missed the boat to buy more. YOU CAN ONLY SELL into a spike, NEVER BUY. Likewise if the price drops, YOU CAN ONLY BUY into a dip, NEVER SELL.\n5. NEVER BUY back in higher than you sold for – even if that means holding fiat for months/years\n6. Get a strategy and stick to it – as in do not change your mind. You can continue to DCA, but only review your portfolio/strategy every 6-12 months and see if the landscape has changed and you want to do something differently.\n7. Remember it is 100% impossible to perfectly time every single trade (unless you’re a whale with 1B+ in crypto assets that is a market maker). Do not get worried or panic that the price goes the wrong way – you cannot time it perfectly. You do not need to get every trade right – you do not aim for 100% perfection, you just aim to get more winners than losers.\n8. Never sell at a loss! (There is a couple of exceptions to this – if you review your portfolio after 12 months and want to change into another project then this is ok. Also if your project goes into a death spiral (see LUNA) – then you’re better to get out with 5% of your portfolio than 0.001%)\n9. Have multiple exchanges ready and with KYC completed – don’t just have 1 exchange that could have downtime during a big spike and leave you holding the bags.\n10. Do not trade emotionally. Make sure it fits your strategy and principles\n11. Plan your exit strategy upfront so you can execute it without emotion – this is part of defining your strategy. Do not try to come up with your exit plan during the hype phase and chase the potential gains – you will never time it perfectly and chances are you fail to cash out enough. (Example strategy, for every x2, cash out 10% so you never lose your entire stack)\n12. Lambos are for noobs – when you get money for a super car you will not want to buy one. Porsche's are far better machines\n13. I always want some exposure to crypto (never cash out 100% of the portfolio fully to fiat or stablecoin)\n14. Do what the opposite of the market says – so check the fear and greed index. (It’s the same as the 2nd point above. Buy when it goes down and sell when it goes up.)\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/wu7c7zmhi6f91.png?width=594&format=png&auto=webp&s=547cf4a264d37d1eefc4d1f30ae0aaa8d35c2b6e\n\n**Where it all started**\n\nLiving in the UK, my first exposure to crypto was mining Bitcoin back in 2012 at University. I joined a mining pool and mined maybe 0.5 BTC which was worth almost nothing, and it’s gone to live with the crypto gods in a landfill somewhere in the South-West. Then I did almost nothing for several years – not even really following crypto developments because I had absolutely no money to buy anything with. (I was a student that used any spare money for beer – I have absolutely no regrets)\n\nThen at the beginning of 2018, I was encouraged to make my first big mistake in crypto. I was ‘advised’ by my step-father to invest in XRP, because it was almost a sure fire bet. I think I started to buy in on the way down around £0.90 and the price never recovered. What a brutal landing into crypto – I was almost dissuaded, but then I sat myself down and tried to plan out a longer term strategy that would be successful.\n\n**DCA is your friend**\n\nMy average price was £0.90, on an XRP that was only going down. I was in a lucky position that I was still young (under 30) and being able to make investments while still having my own house (that was priority number 1 which is why I didn’t invest in crypto from 2012-2018 – ask yourself also should you invest in crypto if that money should be better spent elsewhere like a house / medication / car etc). My thought process was – lets go big or go home. If it all goes to 0 – I’m young enough that I can build up another portfolio for retirement. Many people don’t even start in their 20s so if it all goes tits up, I can start again with something safer like stocks in my early 30s.\n\nSo what did I do? DCA. Every damn month without fail, I was buying up XRP. I was not trying to spread my portfolio into many different projects (I was not researching much about crypto and to be honest, I cannot follow 10+ projects properly, I would rather follow one in more detail – again part of my own strategy. I wanted to understand what I am investing in)\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/0hoob3aji6f91.png?width=601&format=png&auto=webp&s=699668d1109d3a981ddd7c5b7da153fa11fd72fc\n\nBy the start of 2019 – my portfolio looked something like this, continuing to DCA, the portfolio value was increasing and just about made it to a goal of 100k XRP – I was pumped. My wife (gf at the time) was a little less amused, she didn’t understand this at all and thought I’m just throwing away money in\n\n**Researching a backup plan**\n\nSo XRP didn’t have a great start, the price was going down and I managed to get my average price to €0.30. (Yes it’s euro’s now not £ – I moved to live in the Netherlands in 2019). I continued to DCA but I was starting to think that maybe XRP was not the only horse I should back in the crypto race. This is when I started to spend a lot more time researching other projects and getting to understand the fundamental differences and the terminology (PoW vs PoS etc).\n\n2019 was where I made my riches, but I only continued to DCA into XRP. That doesn’t make any sense right? No, you’re wrong. RESEARCH! It is so damn important, the average investor is dumb as a brick and there is so much stupid money in the financial markets its insane. (Don’t get started on DOGE or TESLA stock – but they are prime examples where things are worth way more than they should – it defies logic).\n\nI was reading up about new projects and trying to find the new project that could come good – I didn’t want a super high risk micro cap that had a big change of going to 0, but also I didn’t want to bet on the big 2… BTC or ETH. So I looked at Coingecko and my strategy was to find a good project that had promise in the top 30. Let’s take a look at the crypto market cap ranking from the end of 2019:\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/ckuzn7kki6f91.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c432f6f2c64853dba2535048ffb0ff4894dce35\n\nNot all of these projects lived up to their hype – many have come and gone but some have stood the test of time. I was looking for something that would still be around in 3-4 years and ad the potential for more explosive gains. (Logically it seemed less likely to me that BTC would go x10 compared to say Monero which was ranked 16).\n\nSo I spent most of 2019 researching up on projects and getting to find their project communities. **This is a key point** – facts and news are hard to come by in crypto. The best source you can get is from the project itself where you believe you can trust them (there are scam projects and rug pulls of course – if they sound too good to be true then it probably is). But do not rely on crypto news outlets or YouTube shills to give you your crypto news. It’s 2nd hand information and you also receive the info after other people have bought in – they are unloading their bags on you… Don’t be a mug – see fundamental point 2.\n\n**My first portfolio rebalancing**\n\nSo 2019 has come and gone, I’v...

A $9 billion fall left the market cap down by $428 billion for June. It was a bearish end to the month for thecryptomarket. Bitcoin (BTC) extended its losing streak to five sessions, with Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE) seeing heavy losses. Through the US session, the NASDAQ 100 led the broader crypto market into the deep red. The NASDAQ 100 fell by 1.33% to end June with an 8.7% loss. Bitcoin ended June down by 37%. Recession fears and market sentiment towards Fed monetary policy continued to weigh on riskier assets. US economic data added to the market angst, with inflation pressures showing no signs of abating and personal spending lackluster. A bearish session saw the total crypto market cap slide from an early high of $878.9 billion to a low of $816.2 billion before a late rally. $9 billion came off the table, leaving the market cap down $428 billion for June.

Do you think any of them are in a better position to go against the SEC than Flexa? They have been focused on compliance since day one. I am convinced they are working hard right now getting things in order for this battle. When they drop the hammer, they are going to drop the MF’ing hammer! Look at the advisor board, legal team, licenses, NY headquarters, etc. This is not over by any means. \n\nThis brings me to my second point. Tyler himself mentioned Flexa is working directly with other countries like they are with El Salvador. Granted, things in the US might get tied up for months, possibly years, but that is not the end of Flexa/AMP. AMP is still being used at collateral in El Salvador, 60,000+ locations in the US, and lest we forget, seems to have some merchants in the works with this commercial we have been stewing over for a while now. These “other countries” may very well be what helps keep Flexa and AMP rolling while Flexa is tied up in the US with the SEC.\n\nDon’t act on emotions alone! If you are considering selling, I’m not going to tell you not to. But take some time to truly evaluate your plan. At one point, many of us were buying AMP before it was even listed on Binance, and Crypto.com. There is a storm brewing in crypto, and this is just the beginning. What’s happening with AMP, may very well be happening with the majority of crypto projects soon. The SEC and elites are scared of the innovation that is on the horizon. They are afraid of losing the power traditional finance has lined there pockets with for so many years. Pulling your AMP investment to move to other projects may find you in the same dilemma you are experiencing today. Because I know for damn sure the Flexa team is better prepared for this battle than projects like Solana, Cardano, Shiba, Doge, etc. \n\nInvesting in anything other than Bitcoin (and maybe ethereum) is risky right now. This is just the beginning. If you feel you are over invested in AMP, diversify. If you think the price is going to go down, sell and sit on your bag.

A Texas jury has ordered conspiracy theorist and Infowars owner Alex Jones to pay the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim $4.1 million in compensatory damages and $45.2 million in punitive damages Jones has spent almost a decade arguing that the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School \x97 which left 28 people, including 20 children, dead \x97 was a hoax, and that the parents of the victims were \x93crisis actors\x94 upholding the lie. One set of parents, Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, sued Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, in 2018 for defamation. In a verdict signed by 10 members of the 12-member jury, the group ordered Jones to pay a total of $49.3 million in damages to Lewis and Heslin. \x93It seems so incredible to me that we have to do this,\x94 Lewis said at the trial, speaking directly to Jones. \x93That we have to implore you \x97 not just implore you, punish you \x97 to get you to stop lying \x85 It is surreal what is going on in here.\x94 Lewis said she felt hitting Jones with monetary damages was necessary because she believed it would be the only thing to get him to change his behavior. In the lead up to the jury\x92s decision, Jones claimed that any judgement for more than $2 million would leave him in financial ruin. His company, Free Speech Systems, also filed for bankruptcy in an effort to limit his financial liability. However, just a day before the jury settled on a number for compensatory damages, it was revealed that Jones\x92 lawyers accidentally emailed the full contents of his phone to the attorneys representing Lewis and Heslin, providing dozens of emails and texts that contradicted Jones\x92 claims about Infowars\x92 profitability. Specifically, the emails revealed that at its peak Infowars had generated as much as $5 million in revenue per week. Plus, Jones\x92 supporters recently rallied around the embattled host by donating upwards of $8 billion in Bitcoin. Story continues Throughout the case, Jones also repeatedly asserted that he had no text messages about Sandy Hook to turn over during the discovery process. The phone did in fact contain messages related to Sandy Hook, suggesting that Jones had committed perjury. To make Jones\x92 legal troubles even worse, Mark Bankston, the lawyer who represents Lewis and Heslin, said Jones\x92 phone contained texts with Trump associate Roger Stone, and that he had heard from \x93various federal agencies and law enforcement\x94 about the material. One such agency was the US House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection. The committee first subpoenaed Jones in November, demanding documents related to the conservative figure\x92s efforts to spread misinformation about the 2020 election. In the subpoena letter, Rep. Bennie Thompson said Jones helped organize the January 6th rally at the Ellipse that preceded the insurrection, encouraged his listeners to attend the rally, and urged them to march from the park to the Capitol, where Trump was said to speak. Bankston said he planned to turn over the data from Jones\x92 phone to the committee. Lewis and Heslin are just one set of Sandy Hook parents with ongoing lawsuits against Jones.

Kraken CEO Jesse Powell ruffled feathers in June after a New York Times article detailed a “corporate culture war” raging at the cryptocurrency exchange and his subsequent doubling down, in which he criticized the “woke activist movement” and told unhappy employees to quit. But then something interesting happened. Most people inside Kraken and many in the broader crypto sphere sided with Powell. Job applications flooded the company. Now, six weeks later, less than 1% of Kraken’s employees have taken the severance package offered to anyone who didn’t want to get with the program. There are at least two ways to interpret this outcome. One is that it revealed the true preferences of a majority of workers at the exchange, and perhaps those of people in the broader crypto industry. Kraken, from this perspective, represented a rare refuge from what Powell later described as “this contingent of people who basically [think] if you don’t agree with them you’re evil, you’re a Nazi, and you must be destroyed at all costs.” At least one workplace remained where coders could just **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [31155.48, 30214.36, 30112.00, 29083.80, 28360.81, 26762.65, 22487.39, 22206.79, 22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63, 20104.02, 19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21, 20860.45, 19970.56, 19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

(REUTERS) The huge sell-off in the cryptocurrency markets sent the price of Bitcoin plummeting a further 10% overnight, taking it down to £16,653, while Ethereum dropped 16% to £846. The crypto crash has now wiped off over £300 billion from the combined value of crypto assets in the past seven days alone, according to data from CoinMarketCap. It has prompted crypto exchange businesses to take drastic action to stifle further losses and stay afloat. Yesterday, US-based cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase announced it would be laying off over 1,000 employees “to manage operating expenses in response to current market conditions and ongoing business prioritisation efforts”. The stock has tanked 86% since its peak in November, wiping £68 billion off its market cap. On Monday, cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance temporarily suspended Bitcoin withdrawals, while crypto lender Celsius Network announced it was suspending withdrawals and transfers between accounts because of “extreme market conditions.” “We are taking this action today to put Celsius in a better position to honour, over time, its withdrawal obligations,” the company said in a statement. Shares in US business MicroStrategy have fallen 24% since Friday as investors feared the company faced a margin call on a $205 million loan it had taken out to buy more Bitcoin. In May, the company suggested the call would take effect if the Bitcoin price dropped below $21,000, meaning it could have to sell off some crypto holdings to meet the call. The firm has bought almost 130,000 Bitcoins at an average price of $30,700, causing it to have made a paper loss of almost $1 billion. Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “Red lines on a chart belie the financial pain which this loss of value is set to cause for millions of crypto holders. “At a time when costs are escalating all over the place, nursing a big hole in a crypto wallet is the last blow they need.” Story continues The steep drop in crypto prices began on Friday after figures released by the US Department of Labor showed US inflation hit a 40-year high of 8.6% in May, led by rising food and energy prices. The announcement triggered a mass sell-off in Bitcoin and Ethereum, as investors spooked by rising prices ditched riskier assets in favour of safe havens. El Salvador finance minister Alejandro Zelaya was forced to defend his government against concerns raised over the country’s fiscal stability after it was estimated to have lost at least $40 million from its decision to buy more than 2,300 Bitcoin since September. Zelaya said: “The fiscal risk is extremely minimal… $40 million does not even represent 0.5% of our national budget.”... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/toungepuncher6000', 'Truly a bearer asset', 180, '2022-08-06 02:59', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/whbflm/truly_a_bearer_asset/', 'I currently serve in the Armed Forces.

Every week, I’ll take a look at the hottest fintech news of the previous week. This will include everything from funding rounds to trends to an analysis of a particular space to hot takes on a particular company or phenomenon. There’s a lot of fintech news out there and it’s my job to stay on top of it — and make sense of it — so you can stay in the know. — Mary Ann Last week, Paystand — a blockchain-enabled B2B payments startup — announced it had acquired Mexican fintech Yaydoo — creating a new unicorn in the resulting new entity. Execs from the two startups say the combined company will have processed over $5 billion in payments and built a network of over 500,000 connected businesses by creating B2B DeFi payment networks in both the U.S. and Mexico. In announcing the deal, they said: “DeFi-enabled B2B payment networks that are on chain can unlock transformative working capital efficiencies, and make financial services more fair and open, especially in developing markets like LATAM.” Paystand CEO Jeremy Almond told me over email that combined revenues have been growing at over 100% year over year since inception. In particular, he said Paystand has experienced over 700% revenue growth in the last three years. The company has raised over $86 million over its lifetime and counts NewView Capital and SoftBank’s SB Opportunity Fund among its backers. Meanwhile, Yaydoo has raised over $20 million from investors such as Base10 Partners, monashees, SB Opportunity Fund and Leap Global Partners. With nearly 400 employees, the combined company will “have a very unique ability to transform entire B2B Payments ecosystems in each country we operate because of our combined scale and access to resources,” wrote Yaydoo CEO Sergio Almaguer in an email. Story continues “Today the U.S. has a legacy, centralized financial infrastructure that needs to be disrupted and re-imagined by fintechs with blockchain technology. However, in emerging markets like LATAM, the basic financial infrastructure for B2B payments is either missing or not accessible by businesses of all sizes,” added Almond, noting that the payments tech ecosystem in LATAM is generally 10–15 years behind that in the U.S. Fintechs like Paystand + Yaydoo have a huge opportunity to build next-gen payments tech infrastructure from the ground up.” Notably, word on the street is that Payday is now eyeing an IPO . We haven’t been hearing about too many M&As as of late, so this deal caught our eye. It also is a good lead-in to talk about some recent M&A data we got our hands on. Unsurprisingly, dealmaking in financial services declined in the second quarter due to macroeconomic headwinds, according to a recent KPMG US report . Aggregate deal volume fell 30.9%, to 1,442 from 2,087 in the first quarter, and deal value dropped 14.8%, to $163 billion from $191 billion. Bob Ruark, principal and banking and fintech strategy leader for KPMG US, noted that pricing is difficult now given the rapid decline in valuations. As he pointed out, pricing in some fintech categories dropped almost 60% according to Pitchbook, and digital and crypto companies are down over 65%. “We are starting to see some of the public market valuations impact private market valuations. We have seen several high-profile companies raising new money at much lower valuations, which shows this is starting to happen,” Ruark said. “Klarna recently raised $800 million at a $6.7 billion valuation, which is 85% below its June 2021 raise…As prices and valuations stabilize, we will see deals ramp back up.” On the bright side, the fact that VCs are more discriminating about where they put their dollars could actually lead to more M&A activity, according to Ruark. “There is plenty of money available, but investors are looking for stronger performance, profitable performance. That is one reason why a number of VC firms have told their portfolio companies to focus on performance and cut costs,” he told TechCrunch. “Given a large number of startups will not generate a profit near and are cash-flow negative in the near term, they will have to raise more capital in a difficult environment. As a result, they may have to sell.” What about the acquisitions that are still taking place? Most of those are product buys to drive or accelerate revenue growth with the secondary benefit of getting new talent, Ruark said. And, after crypto, payments companies — as illustrated in the example above — are among the most attractive targets. Looking ahead, KPMG\'s view on the prospects for financial services M&A over the next six to 12 months is mixed. The firm said: "On one hand, the fundamental trends that have been driving activity remain in place. On the other, market sentiment is largely pessimistic and the outlook for interest rates and inflation is challenging." Image Credits: Paystand/Yaydoo Weekly News Counting 300 U.S.-based companies as customers already, Alloy announced it has now expanded its platform to 40 countries across North America, EMEA, LatAm, and APAC. The startup says it will also continue to grow its local presence and team in EMEA. The goal behind the expansion, a spokesperson told TechCrunch, is to help financial services companies “manage changing global regulatory requirements for their customers, no matter where they are located.” QED Investors said it has expanded its mental health initiative aimed at tackling addiction among entrepreneurs to its Spanish-language portfolio companies. Last year, TechCrunch published an op-ed from Nigel Morris around mental health stigma in the tech community when the initial program was announced. The firm says the program is focused on eliminating the stigma around talking about substance misuse in the workplace by offering an online program that “delivers critical concepts and facts regarding addiction in just 5 minutes per lesson.” This will now be offered to 22 fintech companies across Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Just one week after closing on its acquisition of Metromile (and laying off about 20% of the latter company’s staff), Lemonade announced on August 4 that it has sold Metromile’s enterprise business solutions unit, a SaaS-based claims automation and fraud detection product, to EIS. Well, that was fast! According to my colleague Zack, " hackers had access to dashboards used to remotely manage and control thousands of credit card payment terminals manufactured by digital payments giant Wiseasy , a cybersecurity startup told TechCrunch. Wiseasy is a brand you might not have heard of, but it’s a popular Android-based payment terminal maker used in restaurants, hotels, retail outlets and schools across the Asia-Pacific region. Through its Wisecloud cloud service, Wiseeasy can remotely manage, configure and update customer terminals over the internet." Attentive , which describes itself as a “conversational commerce platform,” has launched its “text-to-buy” solution with Shop Pay, "enabling consumers to make purchases directly from an SMS conversation with a brand." Built with Shopify’s Shop Pay checkout flow, Attentive’s new offering is aimed at “turning browsers into buyers with a frictionless checkout flow built for mobile devices.” Retail investment behemoth Robinhood laid off 23% of its staff — just 3 months after letting go of 9% of its workforce. Besides the fact that the company has shed about 1,000 workers this year alone, we also were struck by the fact that CEO Vlad Tenev took responsibility for Robinhood’s overhiring in the frenzy that was 2021. Whether he was sincere or not (and many of you had wildly different views on that based on a little poll I posted on Twitter ), it was still not a typical CEO move and we took notice. You can listen to Alex, Natasha and I share our thoughts on it all on Friday\'s episode of Equity Podcast. Opendoor has agreed to pay $62 million to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission, which says the company’s claims that it helps people make more money by selling their house to the company rather than listing it on the open market were deceptive. For years, the real estate technology company has touted itself as using its pricing technology to provide “more accurate offers and lower costs,” said the FTC. Such “iBuyers” use this method to make quick offers on homes, with enthusiastic claims that sellers would make thousands of dollars more than they would on the open market. But according to the FTC, that wasn’t true. While extension rounds are popular even beyond fintech today, there are often more startups hunting for the round type than there are checks. So, to better understand the market for fintech extension rounds today, we have a set of answers from a group of fintech venture investors we recently surveyed . Another day, another Q2 funding report. PitchBook reported that “on the heels of a breakthrough year for fintech investment, VC activity in the sector is simmering down.” Specifically, it said, in Q2 2022, " VC investment in fintech companies fell 17.8% from the previous quarter" to $24.1 billion, "the largest percentage drop since Q3 2018." Also in the report: “Exits have also stalled as IPO activity grinds to a halt, and analysts expect fintech startups will attract the attention of incumbents looking for M&A opportunities.” Guess we\'ll see about that. Nice scoop from former TCer Katie Roof: “ TripActions , a travel startup (that has expanded into general expense management), is close to filing confidentially for an initial public offering , according to people familiar with the matter, as people get back on planes and trains following the easing of the Covid-19 pandemic.” Manish reports that the "State Bank of Pakistan, the South Asian nation’s central bank, has ordered fintech **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [30214.36, 30112.00, 29083.80, 28360.81, 26762.65, 22487.39, 22206.79, 22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63, 20104.02, 19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21, 20860.45, 19970.56, 19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Though still capped by earlier weekly highs around $20,700,Bitcoincontinues to trade with an upside bias and is now comfortably trading above its 21-DayMoving Averagefor the first time since early June near $20,500. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is trading higher by about 1.5% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap, in tandem with resilient US stock markets. Tier two data in the form of US Trade Balance figures and US weekly jobless claims out later in the day probably won’t impact macro sentiment. Traders remain very much focused on slowing growth and interest rate increases from major central banks. On which note, crypto traders should watch comments from a few Fed policymakers later this afternoon for any indications as to whether the bank will hike rates by 50 or 75 bps later this month. But trading conditions are likely to remain fairly subdued in the run-up to Friday’s US labor market report, which could trigger significant intra-day volatility across asset classes. In terms of the major altcoins,Ethereumwas last trading just under $1,200 and higher by about 3.5% in the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. The likes ofXRP,SOL,ADA,DOGEandDOTwere all up between 1-3% over the same time period. Cryptocurrency markets were unfazed on Wednesday by strong than expected US services sector activity data, job openings figures and the release of what was a very hawkish set of minutes from the Fed’s June meeting. Though the latest US ISM Services PMI fell to a two-year low, at 55.3 it still indicates that growth in the sector in June was robust. Additionally, the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey showed that there were still slightly more than 11.25 million job openings in the US at the end of May, near an all-time high and well above the number of unemployed. Continued strong labor demand continues to be a source of strength for the US economy. US recession bets thus took a blow on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the latest Fed minutes explained that the bank had accelerated its pace of rate hikes to 75 bps due to a deterioration in the near-term inflation outlook. The minutes said this also justifies the bank’s new hawkish rate guidance that foresees interest rates moving well into restrictive territory (near 4.0%) in 2023. The minutes revealed that Fed policymakers expect another 75 bps or 50 bps at the upcoming meeting in July. In a new order issued by the United States Office of Government Ethics,government employees who are actively investing in cryptocurrencies or are found holding any will be banned from participating in developing regulations and policies focusing on cryptocurrencies. An exemption in the order means that government employees working on crypto policy will still be able to invest in crypto via publicly-traded securities and mutual funds of companies involved with crypto and blockchain services. Legislation setting out regulations for stablecoins will be introduced in theUKas soon as August, Bank of England (BoE) policymaker Jon Cunliffe said on Wednesday. The legislation is set to be introduced by the UK Treasury in tandem with other government bodies including the BoE and Financial Conduct Authority. Recent events in government (UK PM Boris Johnson just resigned over the piling up of various domestic scandals) have delayed plans a little, Cunliffe noted. PseudonymousShiba Inutoken developer Shytoshi Kusama announced plans to expand the token’s ecosystem in a blog post on Wednesday. According to Kusama, “independent developers” are working on a new decentralized stablecoin called SHI, which Kusama said will seek to “avoid the issues found in other moonshots”. Analysts said this was a reference to the spectacular implosion of Terra’s multi-billion market cap UST stablecoin. Kusama also announced that the soon-to-be-released Shiba Inu metaverse’s reward token TREAT would be linked to the Shiba Collectible Card Game, which will reside in Shiba’s metaverse. TREAT is also going to help provide stability to the SHI stablecoin, the blog post noted without explaining further.

On-chain data appears to support the claim as Aviv Yaish, one of the paper’s authors, highlighted F2Pool’s block timestamps being artificially altered to improve rewards.\n\n## Uncle Maker\n\nEthereum is maintained through a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, which will be moved to proof-of-stake this September. However, to this point, the network appears to be susceptible to the attack identified in by The Hebrew University.\n\nThe consensus-level attack is referred to as an Uncle Maker attack within the paper in reference to the “uncle” blocks used in the exploit. Blocks within the Ethereum blockchain act as a set of records that are checked, distributed, and verified across the entire network.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose just 0.09% on the day, while the S&P 500 lost 0.12% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.1% Of note was Nvidia Corp, whose stock declined around 6% after the chip designer warned on Monday that its second-quarter revenue would drop by 19% from the prior quarter on weakness in its gaming business. The broad Euro STOXX 600 finished up around 0.75% on Monday, led by cyclical and growth stocks, helping it recover losses from Friday. But the MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 47 countries, added just 0.15%. "With labor market strength, the threat of a recession seems remote, but concerns over how aggressive the Federal Reserve could be hovers over the market," Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist for LPL Financial, said in an email. Indeed, higher interest rates remained in focus for investors. Unexpectedly strong U.S. jobs data last week raised the stakes for the July U.S. consumer prices report due on Wednesday, which could see a further acceleration in inflation -- and more aggressive Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Business investment appeared to be an early victim of rising prices and rates, according to new U.S. government data. At the same time, U.S. consumers\' expectations for where inflation will be in a year and three years dropped sharply in July, a New York Federal Reserve survey showed on Monday, a win for policy makers. On Monday, benchmark 10-year note yields fell to 2.751%, after getting as high as 2.869% on Friday, the highest since July 22. Two-year yields were last at 3.211%, after reaching 3.331% on Friday, the highest since June 16. \'OTHER SIDE OF THAT MOUNTAIN\' "The rise in inflation and the Fed\'s reaction to it has been a real headwind for valuations this year," Morgan Stanley strategists wrote in a note on Monday. "However, it\'s also been a tailwind for earnings. Now, we are on the other side of that mountain, and operating leverage is rolling over likely more than the consensus expects." Story continues Fed funds futures traders are now pricing for a 67.5% chance of another 75 basis point rate increase in September, and for the Fed funds rate to rise to 3.65% by March, from 2.33% now. "We see inflation staying above the Fed’s 2% target through next year," BlackRock Investment Institute strategists wrote in a note on Monday. "We think the Fed will keep responding to calls to tame inflation until it acknowledges how that would stall growth." In foreign exchange markets, the U.S. dollar dipped around 0.2% versus a basket of six major currencies to 106.4, giving up some gains after strengthening on the jobs boom and the jump in yields. Analysts remained bullish on the U.S. currency\'s prospects. "Data like this will further any thoughts about \'U.S. exceptionalism\' and is very positive for the USD against all currencies," said Alan Ruskin, global head of G10 FX strategy at Deutsche Bank, referring to the U.S. jobs statistics. The euro declined slightly to $1.019. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which tend to act as a barometer for risk appetite, gained. Bitcoin was last up 3.25% at $23,942. Gold broke higher on Monday as the dollar and Treasury yields retreated. Spot gold rose 0.8% to $1,788 per ounce, after dropping 1% in the previous session. U.S. gold futures were 0.76% higher at $1,786. Oil prices rebounded some on Monday but were still near their lowest levels in months in volatile trading as positive economic data from China and the United States spurred hopes for demand growth despite recession fears. U.S. crude recently rose 1.79% to $90.59 per barrel and Brent was at $96.40, up 1.59% on the day.

The U.S. dollar received additional support after the release of the report but faced resistance at yearly highs. Markets may start to price in a possibility of a 100 bps rate hike at the next Fed meeting. Inflation Rate Hits 40-Year Highs The U.S. Dollar Index tested new highs after the U.S. reported that Inflation Rate increased by 9.1% year-over-year in June, compared to analyst consensus of 8.6%. On a month-over-month basis, Inflation Rate grew by 1.3%. Core Inflation Rate increased by 5.9% year-over-year. The U.S. Dollar Index made an attempt to settle above 108.50 after the report was released. However, it faced resistance and pulled back. The report had a significant impact on S&P 500 , which found itself under material pressure at the start of the trading session. Bitcoin , which is sensitive to risk appetite, also moved lower. Gold declined towards the $1700 level but received support near $1710 and rebounded towards $1730. The markets’ reaction to the report shows that many traders were prepared to hear bad news. The initial reaction was to buy the dollar and sell everything else, but it looks that some assets may find support today. What’s Next For The U.S. Dollar? The next inflation report can be better as oil prices have declined materially from their June highs. However, inflation remains a serious problem, so the Fed will have to act. Currently, traders believe that there is a 53.6% chance that the Fed will raise the target rate by 75 bps on July 27, and a 46.4% chance that the Fed will increase the rate by 100 bps. Despite market indications, a huge 100 bps rate hike looks unlikely at this point. Such a rate hike will put significant pressure on the economy and may even hurt employment. The inflation reports were bullish for the U.S. dollar. In the near term, some traders may want to “sell the news” after the recent rally. However, the U.S. dollar may get additional support ahead of the Fed meeting as risks of a potential 100 bps rate hike are currently not priced in by markets. Traders should closely monitor the dynamics of EUR/USD , which is stuck near the psychologically important 1.0000 level. In case EUR/USD manages to settle below this level, the American currency will gain additional upside momentum, and the U.S. Dollar Index will move towards the 110 level.

Bitcoin has been rallying over the past four days amid hopeful signs that inflation will soon be under control without triggering a steep recession.\n"Bitcoin remains near its recent highs as crypto traders are looking to see if the crypto winter is over," Oanda Senior Market Analyst Americas Edward Moya wrote in an email.\nEther followed a similar pattern, hitting a two-month high above $1,800 earlier in the day before taking a foothold slightly below this level. The second-largest crypto by market cap was recently up more than 4% over the previous day. Other major cryptos spent much of their day firmly in the green, with GRT soaring more than 16% and DOT rising over 7% at one point.\nBeleaguered crypto lending platform Celsius Network skyrocketed more than 24% to trade at a higher price than before it encountered financial difficulties and halted user withdrawals in early June. But Brett Sifling, director at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management,told CoinDeskthat CEL may have been swept up in a surge of speculative assets and meme stocks. And other market observers attributed the rise to a short squeeze organized on Twitter under the #CELShortSqueeze banner. They did not see a bright future for the coin.\nMajor indexes\nMajor equity indexes closed nearly flat following largely disappointing second-quarter earnings by a number of large brands, including software and computer chip manufacturer Nvidia (NVSA), which missed analysts\' revenue expectations. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.1%, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rose 0.1%\nInflation holds center stage on this week\'s investor watch list with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics releasing the July consumer price index on Wednesday. Many analysts expect an 8.7% increase, still hefty but down from the unexpectedly high 9.1% reading in June. The New York Federal Reserveoffered furtherhope that price increases have reached a peak with the release of a survey showing rosier consumer expectations for inflation in 2023.\n"It’s inflation week, and all eyes are on the U.S. CPI report," wrote Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer of the financial services firm Arca. "Markets are looking for headline inflation to (finally) slow down.

I just don\'t see this organic aspect to it.”\nUnsurprisingly, when “quick buck” is mentioned, (His Excellency) Justin Sun emerges. (Sun is a Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization.)\nTron’s Justin Sun is a cheerleaderfor an Ethereum hard fork that would maintain proof-of-work. Tron’s USDD would be the first stablecoin on what he is calling the "EthereumPOW" protocol. The Sun-backed Poloniex exchange would list it.\nFor his part, Sun says that Poloniex, which has taken the first steps toward listing an EthereumPOW token (ETHW) won’t be taking any fees from trading ETHW. It\'s all for the public good, he says.\nSmall volume\nRegardless,CoinGecko datasays there’s not much comparable market interest in it, with only $3.1 million in volume changing hands on the first day.\n“I don\'t expect Ethereum to really be significantly harmed by another fork,” Buterin said at ETHSeoul. “My impression from everyone I talked to in the Ethereum ecosystem is that they\'ve been completely supportive of the proof of stake effort, and the ecosystem has been quite united around it.”\nAnyone who wants to remain using proof-of-work and Ethereum will just stick with Ethereum Classic, Buterin believes. (Ethereum Classic is what used to be Ethereum until a 2016 hack of The DAO, a smart contract platform running on Ethereum. What remained after a fork became Ethereum Classic, which has its own currency, ETC.)\n“I think Ethereum Classic already has a superior community and a superior product for people kind of with those pro-proof-of-work values and preferences,” he said.\nBut do the markets agree with Buterin?CoinGecko datashows that Ethereum Classic has $1.16 billion in trading volume.\nBut it took almost two months for Ethereum Classic to test the $3.1 million mark in volume that EthereumPOW has already gotten to in daily volume, and over a year and a half for Ethereum Classic’s volume to consistently hit that waterline.\nBy that metric, it might be too early to tell if the market has rejected EthereumPOW. Maybe this is more than an attempt for outsiders to make a quick buck. But at the same time, do we really need two proof-of-work versions of Ethereum?\nKorea Blockchain Week\nETHToronto\nCoinbase second quarter earnings\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nJustin Sun on Ethereum Merge: Why He Backs a Hard Fork; Binance, WazirX Dispute\nTron founder Justin Sun is vowing to back an Ethereum fork, creating concern as the Ethereum Merge approaches but Vitalik Buterin is playing it down.

In currencies, the dollar index, which touched a 20-year high this month, was down slightly and gold also slipped. On Sunday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that while U.S. economic growth was slowing, a recession was not inevitable. Treasury yields edged higher as investors braced for the Fed to raise rates by an expected 75 basis points this week. Some are worried about the potential for recession. Investors were also positioning ahead of earnings in big companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Amazon.com, as well as second-quarter GDP data. "Right now we're just in a holding pattern waiting for all those developments to play out," said Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in Stamford, Connecticut. "People are probably just taking some risk off ahead of the earnings. We've seen interest rates rise a little too so that's helping some of the value names like banks." The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 90.75 points, or 0.28%, to 31,990.04, the S&P 500 gained 5.21 points, or 0.13%, to 3,966.84 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 51.45 points, or 0.43%, to 11,782.67. [.N] Earlier, a widely watched survey showed German business morale falling more than expected in July as high energy prices and looming gas shortages push Europe's largest economy towards a recession. But the pan-European STOXX 600 index finished up 0.13%, MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.01%. The German data had weighed on investor moods in Europe along with a slew of downbeat earnings and a survey over the weekend that showed some industrial companies in Germany cutting production in reaction to soaring energy prices. Graphic: PMIs, https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/zdpxobgmovx/Pasted%20image%201658695330132.png The gap between yields on two- and 10-year Treasury notes US2US10=RR, a possible signal of a looming recession when the short-end yield is higher than the long end, has been inverted for more than two weeks and was last at -21.5 basis points. "This is the first meaningful yield curve inversion we've had since 2006 for any period of time," said David Petrosinelli, senior trader at InspereX, adding that this fed into a generally accepted narrative of a slowdown at the very least. Benchmark 10-year notes last fell 8/32 in price to yield 2.8105%, from 2.781% late on Friday while the 2-year note price last fell 2/32 to yield 3.0266%, down from 2.991% in the previous session. The dollar index fell 0.253%, with the euro up 0.13% to $1.0223. The Japanese yen weakened 0.45% versus the greenback at 136.66 per dollar, while Sterling was last trading at $1.2053, up 0.42% on the day. "Pre-Fed caution is keeping the dollar off its highs. The market is going to be eager to see if the run of softer data has in any way changed the Fed’s hawkish rate path," said Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington, DC. "The economy continues to show pretty solid underlying momentum but at the same time, high inflation, rising interest rates, they are certainly having an impact on the economy." Oil prices rose on Monday, bolstered by a slightly weaker U.S. dollar while investors seesawed between supply fears and bets rising U.S. interest rates could weaken demand.

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 Westbrook SINGAPORE, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The dollar traded firmly on Wednesday in anticipation of U.S. inflation data, which even if it comes in softer-than-expected is still likely to be so red hot that steep U.S. interest rate rises will be required to rein it in. The figures are due at 1230 GMT. Economists expect year-on-year headline inflation running at a scorching 8.7%, a small retreat from June\'s whopping 9.1% figure. Core inflation is expected at 0.5% month-on-month . Currency market moves have been slight in the lead up and for previous releases, reactions have been more muted than in the volatile bond market. The greenback was broadly steady overnight, though has paused a bit of a retreat that began in the middle of July. It bought 135.14 Japanese yen and sat at $1.0208 per euro. The Australian and New Zealand dollars eased slightly, with the Aussie last at $0.6958 - just above its 50-day moving average. The kiwi bought $0.6284. Traders expect reaction to turn on the core inflation figure. "The market will initially get more excited by a downside core CPI surprise than an upside surprise," said Deutsche Bank strategist Alan Ruskin, feeding in to hopes that falling commodity prices mean inflation can quickly recede. "It will also play to the market\'s recent proclivity to buy risk dips, and will be a broad-based negative for the U.S. dollar," he said. "An upside core CPI surprise will fit with the pattern of the last three releases...the purist long dollar trade in this instance is versus the yen," he said, adding dollar/yen could likely to rise into a 135-139 per dollar range. A quick reading on policymakers\' reaction may come from Fed officials Charles Evans and Neel Kashkari who are due to make speeches at 1500 GMT and 1800 GMT, though they will have another set of price data in August before September\'s policy meeting. "A one-off sharp drop in CPI at this point should not mean that much to the Fed," said NatWest Markets\' rates strategist Jan Nevruzi. "They need to see at minimum a consistent multi-month trend to turn around, while acceleration in inflation means that a lot more has to be done on the tightening front." Chinese inflation data is also due on Wednesday, though is expected to show it firmly under control.

The figures are due at 1230 GMT. Economists expect year-on-year headline inflation running at a scorching 8.7%, a small retreat from June\'s whopping 9.1% figure. Core inflation is expected at 0.5% month-on-month . Currency market moves have been slight in the lead up and for previous releases, reactions have been more muted than in the volatile bond market. The greenback was broadly steady overnight, though has paused a bit of a retreat that began in the middle of July. It bought 135.14 Japanese yen and sat at $1.0208 per euro. The Australian and New Zealand dollars eased slightly, with the Aussie last at $0.6958 - just above its 50-day moving average. The kiwi bought $0.6284. Traders expect reaction to turn on the core inflation figure. "The market will initially get more excited by a downside core CPI surprise than an upside surprise," said Deutsche Bank strategist Alan Ruskin, feeding in to hopes that falling commodity prices mean inflation can quickly recede. "It will also play to the market\'s recent proclivity to buy risk dips, and will be a broad-based negative for the U.S. dollar," he said. "An upside core CPI surprise will fit with the pattern of the last three releases...the purist long dollar trade in this instance is versus the yen," he said, adding dollar/yen could likely to rise into a 135-139 per dollar range. A quick reading on policymakers\' reaction may come from Fed officials Charles Evans and Neel Kashkari who are due to make speeches at 1500 GMT and 1800 GMT, though they will have another set of price data in August before September\'s policy meeting. "A one-off sharp drop in CPI at this point should not mean that much to the Fed," said NatWest Markets\' rates strategist Jan Nevruzi. "They need to see at minimum a consistent multi-month trend to turn around, while acceleration in inflation means that a lot more has to be done on the tightening front." Chinese inflation data is also due on Wednesday, though is expected to show it firmly under control. The yuan has faced some pressure from rising Sino-U.S. tensions and a widening property and banking crisis in China. In offshore trade, the yuan was steady at 6.7550 per dollar. Bitcoin, rattled by a drumbeat of cryptocurrency fund wipeouts and thefts over recent months, fell sharply on Tuesday and was at $23,070 on Wednesday.

The latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover (JOLTS) data showed job openings fell to 10.7 million in June from 11.3 million in May. The number of hires and quits also slowed on a month-over-month basis, which could indicate the job market is leveling off, says Robert Conzo, CEO of investment advisory firm The Wealth Alliance. "We believe the Fed will utilize this data point to determine if the economy is slowing," Conzo adds. "Although continued interest rate rises may occur in the near term, data such as this may warrant smaller hikes than originally planned, helping the Fed to engineer a soft-landing." On the earnings front, Caterpillar ( CAT ) fell 5.8% as the construction giant's top-line miss overshadowed higher-than-expected earnings. Plus, CAT's Q2 sales are still lower than pre-pandemic levels, and the company's 11% year-over-year rise in revenue is more reflective of higher prices versus additional products being sold, says CFRA Research analyst Colin Scarola.

But combine this with the fact that August and September are, historically, two of the weakest months for the S&P 500, the strategist says, and it's likely that volatility will continue. As such, she prefers high-quality stocks.

Good morning, and welcome to First Mover.I’m Lyllah Ledesma, here to take you through the latest in crypto markets, news and insights. • Price point:Bitcoin is trading slightly down on the day, but is holding $21,000. • Market Moves:Data from CoinShares shows a record high of bitcoin net outflows last week. Bitcoin (BTC) is slightly down on the day after a steady weekend of trading in a range of $20,000 to $21,800. This comes as the cryptocurrency has struggled to stabilize over the last few weeks, dropping to a low of $18,001 on June 18. Bitcoin, is up 3.8% over the last seven days, but is down about 27% over the last month. “BTC is showing some decent support, but it’s a bit too early to get excited for any continued upside,” said Matthew Dibb, co-founder of Stack Funds. Dibb expects the price will continue to follow macro trends, which have seen a nice bounce over the last week. “Any additional news around contagion and lender insolvency will likely lead to a swift sell-off,” he said. In recent weeks, digital asset markets have been weighed down by reports of financial difficulties at crypto lenders, includingCelsius Network,BlockFiandVoyager Digital, and at hedge fundThree Arrows Capital. If additional crypto lenders "come out with unhealthy balance sheets, we may see further liquidation of assets across the board,” Dibb said. “It’s hard to tell right now which lenders and exchanges are safe.” Dibb added.

That erased almost all inflows year to date and left total bitcoin assets under management at $24.5 billion, the lowest point since the beginning of 2021. Short bitcoin funds – set up to bet on price declines – saw net inflows of $15 million. CoinShares cited the launch of the first U.S.-basedshort exchange-traded fundlast week.

The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization continued a two-month surge to crack $1,900 for the first time since late May. Ether was recently trading at about $1,850, about flat over the previous 24 hours as investors continued an early celebration of the Merge, which will shift the Ethereum protocol from a proof-of-work to less energy-sapping, more environmentally friendly proof-of-stake protocol. The token price has jumped more than 85% since dipping below $1,000 in mid-June. On Wednesday, developers completed the third and final test environment network (testnet) merge. The mainnet Merge is expected to occur sometime at the end of September. "I\'m bullish on Ethereum," Dan Weiskopf, portfolio manager for Amplify ETFs, told CoinDesk TV\'s "First Mover" program. Bitcoin Bitcoin, the largest crypto by market cap, was recently trading at roughly $23,800, down slightly from the previous day but still near the upper end of the roughly $19,000 to $24,000 range its occupied since June. Crypto investors have responded favorably to the latest economic indicators suggesting that the worst of inflation is behind us and the global economy may not plummet into a steep recession. Story continues "People are excited about taking on risk again because it seems as if inflation is under control," Weiskopf said. "We\'ll see if that actually proves out. That bitcoin bottomed and now we\'re at $24,000, a lot of people are excited about that." Equities Crypto prices veered from major stock indexes, which were flat a day after gaining enough ground for the tech-heavy Nasdaq to re-enter bullish territory. The Nasdaq, which is still down 18% for the year, fell 0.6%, while the S&P 500, declined 0.1% as investors seemed to discount the latest evidence of waning inflation, a drop in the Producer Price Index (PPI). The 0.5% drop was the first negative turn since April 2020. Crypto news The crypto industry\'s latest indignities included a report that India regulators were investigating at least 10 crypto exchanges for allegedly assisting foreign firms launder money via crypto. Separately, Canadian bitcoin miner Hut 8 (HUT) posted a C$88.1 million (US$69 million) loss for the second quarter, compared with a loss of C$4 million in the same quarter a year ago and withdrew its revenue estimate for next year that it had made in its first-quarter earnings report, saying it was reorganizing parts of its business.

Coinbase drops by over 11 per cent as Bitcoin nosedives 05:08 , Vishwam Sankaran Coinbase shares were down more than 11 per cent on Monday amid the latest crypto market crash.

The FCA is coming for crypto Monday 13 June 2022 17:30 , Adam Smith Bitcoin’s volitlity at this time is unlikely to sweeten it to the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, which is looking to regulate crypto more. Nikhil Rathi, head of the organisation, said that crypto is “a vector for serious organized crime and money laundering” and told a Treasury Committee that “anyone who invests in them must be ready to lose all their money.” In the past two years, Bloomberg notes, the FCA has all-but-banned Binance in the UK and set high standards for doing busines sin the country so that most digital currency companies can’t operate. “In the US we have an alphabet soup of regulators,” Eugene Soltes, a Harvard Business School professor who studies regulation, says. “We’re trying to figure out still who is the regulator, not how we should regulate them.

Bitcoin, for instance, is down 50% year to date. While many coins look like they are on sale, legendary investor Jim Rogers warns that there is one danger associated with owning crypto assets – the government. “If and when all our money is on our computer, it’s going to be government money,” he said in a recent interview with Bloomberg Crypto. “That’s not the way bureaucrats think. That’s not the way politicians think. They want control. They want to regulate everything.” So where should investors look if they want safer alternatives in this turbulent time? In June, Rogers told ET Now that “there is no such thing as safe” in the world of investments. Still, the multimillionaire points to two assets that could help you withstand the uncertainty ahead – they also happen to be solid hedges against rampant inflation . Don’t miss Mitt Romney says a billionaire tax will trigger demand for these two physical assets — get in now before the super-rich swarm You could be the landlord of Walmart, Whole Foods and Kroger (and collect fat grocery store-anchored income on a quarterly basis) Warren Buffett likes these 2 investment opportunities outside of the stock market Silver Precious metals are a go-to choice for investors in dark times, and Rogers is a long-time advocate. “Silver is probably less dangerous than other things. Gold is probably less dangerous,” he told ET Now. Gold and silver can’t be printed out of thin air like fiat money, so they can help investors preserve wealth in inflationary periods. At the same time, their prices tend to stay resilient in times of crisis . But that doesn’t mean they are crash-proof. “I'm not buying them now, because in a big collapse, everything goes down. But I probably will buy more silver when it goes down some more.” Silver is widely used in the production of solar panels and is a critical component in many vehicles’ electrical control units. Rising industrial demand, in addition to its usefulness as a hedge, makes silver in particular a compelling asset for investors. Story continues You can buy silver coins and bars directly at your local bullion shop. You can also invest in silver ETFs like the iShares Silver Trust (SLV). Meanwhile, silver miners such as Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM), Pan American Silver (PAAS) and Coeur Mining (CDE) are also solidly positioned for a silver price boom. Agriculture You don’t need an MBA to see the appeal of agriculture in a bear market: No matter how big the next crash is, no one is crossing “food” out of their budget. Rogers sees agriculture as a potential refuge in the upcoming collapse. “Silver and agriculture are probably the least dangerous things in the next two or three years,” he says. For a convenient way to get broad exposure to the agriculture sector, check out the Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA). It tracks an index made up of futures contracts on some of the most widely traded agricultural commodities — including corn, soybeans and sugar. You can also use ETFs to tap into individual agricultural commodities. The Teucrium Wheat Fund (WEAT) and the Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN) have gained 13% and 19%, respectively, in 2022. Rogers also likes the idea of investing in farmland itself. “Unless we’re going to stop wearing clothes and eating food, agriculture is going to get better. If you really, really love it, go out there and get yourself a farm and you’ll get very, very, very rich,” he told financial advisory firm Wealthion late last year. Some real estate investment trusts specialize in owning farmland, such as Gladstone Land (LAND) and Farmland Partners (FPI). Meanwhile, new investing services allow you to invest in farmland by taking a stake in a farm of your choice. You’ll earn cash income from the leasing fees and crop sales — and any long-term appreciation on top of that.

Daily Context for Date: 2022-08-13 **Financial & Commodity Data:** - Gold Closing Price: $1798.60 - Crude Oil Closing Price: $92.09 **Bitcoin Market & On-Chain Metrics:** - Market Capitalization: $467,649,494,725 - Hash Rate: 194679281.00331223 - Transaction Count: 233308.0 - Unique Addresses: 613804.0 **Social & AI Sentiment:** - Fear & Greed Index: 0.46 **Other Textual Data:** - Daily Tweets (Sample): N/A - Contextual Past News Article: Bitcoin miners are taking their foot off the pedal and scaling down production as cryptocurrency prices hit fresh lows and the skyrocketing price of energy continues to eat into profits. The Bitcoin hash rate—a measure of how much power is being used to create new coins—has fallen 5.4% since Jun. 12, the day the price of Bitcoinfell below $25,000, according to Blockchain.com. Meanwhile,the price of graphics processors, which provide the computing power necessary to create new units of bitcoin, fell by an average of 15% in May, computing magazineTom’s Hardwarereports, indicating miners areoffloadingtheir chips on the secondary market. The decline in hash rate and the increased availability of GPUs indicate that some miners may be throwing in the towel in the bitcoin minting business—finding the enormous energy costs for the comparatively small reward just not worth it anymore. “Supply and demand regarding bitcoin mining has not been favoring the price this year,” Yuya Hasegawa, crypto market analyst at bitbank, said in a note on Friday. The competitiveness of mining Bitcoin has gone up considerably, with the Bitcoin hash rate hitting anall-time highon Jun. 12. With more people mining Bitcoin, it is more difficult to produce a coin—and requires more energy. But just as difficulty hits its peak, the price of the coin has plummeted. Hasegawa notes that to get out of this situation, the difficulty has to go down or the price has to go up dramatically. He warns, “If the current situation continues, miners will likely sell their Bitcoins when the price rebounds, which will slow down the pace of price recovery and could put Bitcoin in a range-bound move for a while.” Total revenues paid to miners have fallen to theirlowest level in nearly a year, according to Blockchain.com, and the share prices of listed miners Marathon Digital and Hut 8 Mining have both fallen 41% over the past month. “Currently, it’s not fun to be in the mining business,” Alexander Neumueller, digital assets project lead at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, told theFinancial Times. The fall in revenues is clearly due to the sharply dropping price of Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is back above $21,000 after a Thursday night rally, the valuation of the coin has been inchingtoward $20,000since the start of the week. The value of the coin is over 70% down from its all-time high in November 2021, and its total market value has fallen from a high of $3.2 trillion to just under $1 trillion today. But while Bitcoin prices have fallen to record lows, the price of energy is peaking, and for miners, this means they are now facing the pain from two directions: high costs and lower revenue per Bitcoin generated. Didar Bekbaouov, a Kazakh miner and cofounder of mining company Xive, said he was “adjusting to new prices and reality,” telling theFTthat he switched off his mining operations once Bitcoin fell below $25,000. Meanwhile, Hut 8, whichreported in its 2021 annual informationthat “the only seasonality that the Company experiences is related to potential changes in electricity prices based on volatility in market natural gas prices," told theFTthat it has been preparing for this day and has built up a storage of “unencumbered bitcoins” to deploy for acquisitions for this day. “Companies that have been thoughtfully planning for the downturn for some time are likely to weather this period, but many have acted with impulse at the height of the market, and may be stretched and underfunded in the coming months,” Jaime Leverton, chief executive of Hut 8, told theFT. More difficulties may be coming for miners. As countries like Germany ask residents to conserve energy with gas prices spiking because of Russia's war in Ukraine, the cost of mining an alternative currency like Bitcoin—an estimated 15GW of electricity each day, according to research from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance—has some questioning whether it is really necessary. The Swedish central bank Riksbankreleased a reporton Jun. 10 calling for a ban on Bitcoin, noting that “recently, some extraction of crypto assets has been established in northern Sweden, where it consumes as much electricity as 200,000 households do on an annual basis,” the report says.

Getty Images UK tax haven islands Jersey and Guernsey are stepping up their efforts to attract crypto and blockchain investors. They\'re competing with territories like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands by offering favorable tax regulations. Crypto prices have plummeted this year and investors are pickier about where they put their money. As the financial world appears to have fallen out of love with bitcoin, the Channel Islands - a string of small British overseas territories - are quietly offering crypto investors incentives to move their money from more traditional tax havens. Jersey and Guernsey - located off the French coast - are attracting crypto, blockchain, and other fintech firms thanks to their favorable tax laws. Neither island has capital gains or inheritance tax, making them attractive locations for investment firms. And even before crypto entered the mainstream, both islands had started competing for the booming asset class. One Jersey fintech specialist told Insider that he first noticed clients discussing bitcoin and crypto back in 2011. Jersey has attracted firms including CoinShares, which manages assets worth around $3 billion. The Swiss-based group used Jersey to establish its crypto-backed Physical Bitcoin exchange-traded product in January 2021. Meanwhile, Guernsey Finance\'s chief executive made a recent trip to Miami, which has established itself as one of the US\'s best-known crypto hubs . It\'s part of an effort to lure western crypto investors to the island and away from rival tax havens like the Cayman Islands, according to Barney Lewis, a Guernsey-based fund business manager at ZEDRA. "We\'re competing directly against Cayman, and we\'re seeing the migration of US funds out of there," he told Insider. "Brazilian and South American investors have fallen out of love with Cayman, and are moving capital to Guernsey." The Channel Islands\' push to lure crypto investors has coincided with a widespread retreat from digital assets over the last nine or 10 months. Story continues Bitcoin has plunged 49.7% to just under $24,000 so far in 2022, while fellow large-cap token ethereum has slid 49.8% to below $1,900 - a far cry from their respective all-time highs of $69,000 and $4,867 less than a year ago. Stocks have also plummeted in 2022, meaning that traditional investors are starting to doubt crypto\'s effectiveness as a potential portfolio diversifier, particularly as consumer inflation has rampaged to multi-year highs around the world. "Six months ago, you\'d see portfolios with traditional equity, fixed income, and then maybe 2.5 to 5% crypto as an inflation hedge," Lewis said. "But it looks like a terrible inflation hedge now." Longtime digital asset bulls tend to shrug off these sell-offs, arguing that a "crypto winter" can benefit the space by stress testing key infrastructure, consolidating major firms, and encouraging greater efficiency. That maturation of the space could increase investors\' appetite for low-tax jurisdictions like Jersey and Guernsey, experts said. "In a crypto winter we could see consolidation of crypto projects," a manager at a Jersey-based law firm told Insider. "That would lead to a much more diversified investment opportunity in the crypto, blockchain, and DLT space." And there\'s some optimism in the Channel Islands that a proactive approach to luring investors now will put Jersey and Guernsey in an ideal position to profit from a comeback in cryptocurrencies. "I don\'t feel like we\'ve at all missed the boat," ZEDRA\'s Lewis told Insider. "Yes, crypto and digital assets adoption has been slow in the funds space, but we have to hope we\'re well-placed for the next cycle."

Read more: Puerto Rico\'s generous tax breaks and stunning beaches are attracting an influx of crypto entrepreneurs Read the original article on Business Insider', 'Recent U.S. sanctions against cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash have sparked a debate within the crypto community on whether the ban compromises users’ ability to operate anonymously. Earlier this week, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions against Tornado Cash for helping hackers launder over $7 billion worth of virtual currency. The agency said the mixer service allowed cyber criminal groups, including North Korean-backed hackers, to use its platform to launder the proceeds of cyber crimes. The Treasury’s decision has the crypto community split — proponents of the service argue that the sanctions violate their right to privacy, while critics say the ban is\xa0a way to discourage criminals from using the platform to hide and launder illicit funds. “In an effort to punish hackers and cybercriminals, Treasury just made a clumsy attempt to sanction Tornado Cash, an open source protocol,” wrote\xa0Lia Holland , the campaigns and communications director at Fight for the Future, a digital rights advocacy group. Cryptocurrency mixers like Tornado Cash have become popular in recent years as crypto investors turned to the service to make their transactions anonymous and harder to trace by mixing their funds with others on the blockchain. Holland explained that regular transactions recorded on the blockchain are permanent, public and easily traceable, which made investors turn to mixers for better privacy. “Anonymity is not a crime, and there are many legitimate reasons to seek anonymity in financial transactions,” Holland said. For instance, she said using mixers could protect the identity of activists in authoritarian countries where exposing their financial information could get them imprisoned or executed. Holland added that the Treasury should focus on pursuing cyber criminals instead of sanctioning the tool they use to launder illicit proceeds. “This is a rough equivalent to sanctioning the email protocol in the early days of the internet, with the justification that email is often used to facilitate phishing attacks,” she **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [22572.84, 20381.65, 20471.48, 19017.64, 20553.27, 20599.54, 20710.60, 19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63, 20104.02, 19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21, 20860.45, 19970.56, 19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Titled “ Downturns Create Opportunities ”, the report noted that the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies plunged 20% in just four days, reaching US$925.4 million on June 14 – down a massive 68% from last year’s peak of US$2.9 trillion. This mirrored the percentage decline of BTC from its US$69,000 peak. The latest market decline was triggered by US inflation data which exceeded projections. This led to market concerns about a more aggressive Federal monetary tightening policy, which would continue to reduce the liquidity of the crypto market. Huobi Research Institute’s technical analysis found that BTC prices fell over a very short period, where trading volume spiked without any underlying support. The precipitous price drop triggered the liquidation of long futures contracts, which resulted in network congestion to the point where users could not deposit funds on their exchanges and had to have their positions liquidated. To evaluate the state of the BTC market, the report used two indicators, Realized Price (Realized Market Cap divided by quantity of BTC in circulation) and BTC’s 200-week moving average. It found that BTC’s price had fallen below its Realized Price starting June 13, which signaled the price had entered the bottom range. BTC’s price also tends to bottom close to its 200-week moving average. Both values nearly converged on June 14, providing another signal of a bottom. Huobi Research Institute researcher Barry Jiang, author of the report, said: “It has been a very dismal week for the cryptocurrency market. To help market watchers make sense of the market trends, we analyzed the reasons for this decline and shared some judgments about the current market state to determine how far this bear market has gone. Story continues “The price of Bitcoin has fallen below its Realized Price, which is a signal of a bottom range. Bitcoin is very close to the 200-week moving average, which is a signal of a bottom with a much shorter time window. These indicators point to opportunities in the current market selloff that should not be overlooked.” To download the full report , click here .

Bitcoin has climbed the past three weeks to change hands toward the upper end of a $20,000 to $24,000 range.\n"BTC\'s resilience above $20,000 did see bulls pushing for more upside, especially after a successful retest of that range," Joe DiPasquale, CEO of crypto fund manager BitBull Capital, wrote CoinDesk. "However, we are yet to witness the breakout above $25,000, which could see BTC moving quickly toward the $29,000-$30,000 range."\nEther was recently down about 1.6% over the previous day to trade at about $1,950. The second-largest crypto by market cap behind bitcoin has been lately gaining ground at an even faster pace than bitcoin and topped $2,000 for a second consecutive day on Saturday before declining. Ether\'s surge has come as the hotly anticipated Merge, whichwill transformthe Ethereum protocol from proof-of-work to a faster, less energy-sapping model looms closer. Ethereumcompletedits third and final test environment network (testnet) merge, Goerli last Wednesday.\nMost other altcoins were in the red in late weekend trading with OP and QUICK off about 8% and 7%, respectively, although popular meme coin SHIB was up over 30% and DOGE jumped more than 10%.\nEquity markets\nCrypto gains have largely tracked stocks, which have also been regaining ground in recent weeks after a dismal first seven months. The tech-focused Nasdaq and S&P 500, which has a heavy tech component, closed Friday up 2.1% and 1.7%, respectively, as investors continued to savor Wednesday\'s unexpectedly favorable consumer price index (CPI) showing July prices rising at a lower rate than the previous month. Markets are hopeful the data will allow the U.S. central bank to ratchet back its next interest rate hike to 50 basis points, a less aggressive approach than it has been following.\nThe Nasdaq and S&P have risen four consecutive weeks, their longest weekly upturn since last November. The Nasdaq has gained 20% since June to escape its lengthiest bear market run since 2008.\nCrypto news\nMeanwhile, crypto industry news was mixed on Friday. India\'s Enforcement Directorate (ED), a government agency that is responsible for probing financial crimes,frozeassets worth 3.7 billion rupees ($46.4 million) at crypto exchange Vauld,it saidin a statement. The U.S. Commodities Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) accused an Ohio man of running a $12 million bitcoin Ponzi scheme,filinga cease-and-desist order over allegations he scammed investors interested in digital assets.\nBut the moodwas upbeatat Canada\'s largest blockchain conference last week amid a keynote address by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, a hackathon and panels.\nDiPasquale noted warily that current macroeconomic uncertainties will continue to cloud bitcoin\'s future pricing. "It may be too early to think that the macroeconomic woes are behind us," he said. "This month\'s closing and the entirety of September will be key for the crypto market on account of a few factors, including the next [Federal Open Market Committee] as well as the anticipated Ethereum Merge. If both BTC and ETH can manage to retain their gains and consolidate until the end of September, we could see a bigger rally leading into Q4."\n[{"Asset": "Shiba Inu", "Ticker": "SHIB", "Returns": "+38.1%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}, {"Asset": "Dogecoin", "Ticker": "DOGE", "Returns": "+10.9%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}, {"Asset": "Gala", "Ticker": "GALA", "Returns": "+6.3%", "DACS Sector": "Entertainment"}]\n[{"Asset": "Chainlink", "Ticker": "LINK", "Returns": "\\u22123.5%", "DACS Sector": "Computing"}, {"Asset": "Polkadot", "Ticker": "DOT", "Returns": "\\u22122.7%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Solana", "Ticker": "SOL", "Returns": "\\u22121.8%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}]\nS.

Things were looking up for Affirm stock in May.AFRM stock rose 30%immediately after the company issued fiscal third quarter financial results that beat Wall Street forecasts. But sadly, the rally was short-lived and Affirm continued to trend lower throughout June. The stock is down 77% year-to-date. Affirm Holdings is being hit by both a stock market that continues to trend lower, and increasingly negative sentiment toward the entire “buy now, pay later” market. AFRM stock’s recovery is not guaranteed. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips [{"Ticker": "AFRM", "Company": "Affirm", "Recent Price": "$21.39"}] Despite its deteriorating share price, Affirm Holdings managed to deliver fiscal Q3 results in May that bothsurprised and impressedanalysts. The company, led by Max Levchin, who previously co-foundedPayPal(NASDAQ:PYPL), announced that its revenue grew 54% in its most recent quarter from a year earlier, and that the number of active merchants on its platform increased to 207,000 from 12,000 a year earlier. The number of active consumers using Affirm rose 137% to 12.7 million. • 7 Best Dow Stocks to Buy in July The company attributed its better-than-expected results to higher interest income and strong loan volumes. And while the earnings were stellar, Affirm Holdings also raised its full-year revenue forecast to between $1.33 billion and $1.34 billion, up from $1.29 billion to $1.31 billion previously. Theupward revisionalso made analysts and investors take notice. As mentioned, AFRM stock popped 30% the day after the company made its earnings and guidance public. While Affirm Holdings’ most recent results were a confidence booster, the long-term outlook for the company is less assured. Several storm clouds are forming that threaten to further rain on the company and its business model that focuses on loans to primarily younger consumers. These include rising interest rates that could make its loans more expensive and lead to a greater number of defaults, a continued lack of profitability and high cash burn rate,increased criticismof the entire buy now, pay later sector and rising competition, notably from technology giantApple(NASDAQ:AAPL). Apple’s entryinto the buy now, pay later space is the gorilla in the room presently. The iPhone maker announced in June that it is launching “Apple Pay Later,” a new service that will enable U.S. consumers to break the cost of a purchase into four equal payments over a six-week period without incurring any interest or fees. It’s a business model eerily similar to Affirm’s and a direct competitive threat. Apple Pay Later is scheduled to launch in September of this year and offers many advantages that could give it an edge. Because Apple Pay Later will be integrated directly with Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, it won’t require a third party to facilitate transactions. Also, Apple is able to easily fund its buy now, pay later loans using its $51.5 billion cash war chest. These facts alone could help vault Apple to the front of the buy now, pay later space this fall. If Apple’s emergence in the $120 billion buy now, pay later market weren’t bad enough, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is in the middle of aninquiry into buy now, pay laterover accusations of predatory lending practices that are putting people deep into debt. Sadly, Affirm Holdings’ most recent earnings print has been overshadowed by a run of bad news, the worst being that Apple is about to muscle in on its turf. This, along with the other negative factors, continue to push the company’s share price lower. How far the stock ultimately drops is anyone’s guess. But given that it hasfallen more than 77%already this year, investors should wait on the sidelines and watch for signs of a bottom before taking a position in Affirm.

Bitcoin Falls Below $24K Before Recovering Slightly; Ether Drops By James Rubin Bitcoin seemed headed for a bright start to the week, topping $25,000 late Sunday (U.S. time) after flirting with the psychologically important threshold multiple times in previous days. But the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization quickly retreated and was recently trading just over $24,000, down almost a percentage point over the last 24 hours, albeit still above the top part of the $20,000 to $24,000 range it\'s occupied for over a month. Investors remain in wait-and-see mode following weeks of sometimes hopeful and other times confounding economic indicators and company earnings. "It seems the cryptocurrency, like many other instruments, is testing a potentially significant barrier following the recent recovery and we may be seeing some profit-taking," Craig Erlam, senior market analyst, U.K. and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) for foreign exchange Oanda, wrote in an email. "Whether that becomes a full rotation lower isn\'t clear yet but it doesn\'t appear to have the momentum for a breakout at this time. Story continues Ether followed a similar pattern, rising to over $2,000 late Sunday before falling below $1,900. The second-largest crypto by market cap was recently down roughly 2.5% from the previous day, although well above levels earlier this summer amid growing investor enthusiasm for The Merge, which will change the Ethereum protocol from proof-of-work to the faster, more energy efficient proof-of-stake model. Two of Sunday\'s big winners, the popular meme coins SHIB and DOGE, were losers a day later, recently plunging more than 9% and 7%, respectively. MATIC tumbled more than 5%. Equities trade sideways Stocks fared somewhat better than major cryptos, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq and S&P 500 increasing 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively, amid ongoing hope that inflation has peaked and the U.S. Federal Reserve may be able to back off some of its current monetary hawkishness. But commodity prices declined after a number of indicators showed slowing growth in China. The price of Brent crude oil, a widely regarded measure of the energy market, dropped over 3% to about $95 per barrel. "The economic data from China overnight was very disappointing, to put it mildly," Erlam wrote. "Combined with the lending figures on Friday, it does not paint a good picture of domestic demand or the growth outlook." Crypto news A scotched deal between cryptocurrency custody company BitGo and crypto-focused financial services firm Galaxy Digital highlighted Monday\'s industry news. Earlier in the day, Galaxy Digital, the creation of noted investor Michael Novogratz, said it was abandoning its plan to purchase BitGo because the latter had failed to provide financial statements by an end-of-July deadline. The companies had first announced the deal in May 2021 for what was at the time about $1.2 billion in stock and cash. Later Monday, BitGo said it was planning to sue Galaxy Digital for backing out of the merger agreement, and will seek $100 million in damages from Galaxy, the amount of a previously promised break-up fee. The Federal Reserve announced it was publishing its final guidance for novel financial institutions to access its "master accounts," something these firms need to participate in the global payment system. The announcement would seemingly move the U.S. central bank one step closer to possibly allowing Wyoming trust companies, like Custodia and Kraken Bank, access to these accounts. European digital bank Revolut has been granted authorization by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, allowing it to offer crypto services across the European Economic Area. The authorization will enable Revolut to offer crypto services to its 17 million customers. And Singapore\'s High Court granted beleaguered crypto exchange Zipmex more than three months of creditor protection so that Zipmex can devise a funding plan, Bloomberg News reported. Decoupling from macro events? Arca Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman optimistically noted evidence of a decoupling between crypto prices and macroeconomic events. "The coincidental timing of idiosyncratic digital asset events (LUNA/UST, defaults/bankruptcies, ETH 2.0 Merge) and macro events (peak inflation, commodities rolling over, bad economic data leading to \'bad news = good news\') makes it difficult to prove the decoupling," Dorman wrote in a Monday newsletter. "But if you look elsewhere in digital assets, there has been massive dispersion in digital asset prices since mid-June." He added: "All the market leaders that released big news/partnerships/tokenomics changes ultimately rallied the most (UNI, DYDX, LDO, ETH, CRV, AAVE, MATIC, CHZ, etc.). This is a very encouraging sign that digital assets are once again trading on their own information flows rather than being 100% tied to macro events."

Too Bad, It’s in the Terms and Conditions Earlier this month, Singapore-based crypto savings platform Hodlnaut froze withdrawals and token swaps citing “difficult market conditions.” Naturally, its user base was aghast and the legal threats came in fast and furious over Twitter. At the time, Holdnaut was applying for a license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (it has since withdrawn the application), and surely this isn’t the type of behavior becoming of a licensed institution. Except this is all laid out in the terms and conditions, and Singapore courts may favor upholding this contractual agreement. “The standard terms and conditions of the crypto lenders will usually provide it with a broad and absolute discretion to suspend all, or any part, of its services to its customers,” Yuankai Lin, partner at RPC Premier Law Singapore told CoinDesk via email. “In Hodlnaut\'s case, it did have a contractual right under its standard Terms and Conditions to ‘suspend or terminate the Service or any part of the Service, at its discretion and without prior notice to the User.’” Lin said that, like any other digital service, the user would need to indicate their acceptance to open an account and this agreement would be binding on them. As for any legal challenge, this might not go anywhere. Lin said this has been tried before in the TradFi world, and the courts have ruled on the side of the institution. “The Singapore courts will generally recognize and uphold contractual terms giving the bank absolute discretion in relation to certain acts, provided that the bank exercises this discretion in good faith and not arbitrarily or irrationally. Any party seeking to challenge the bank\'s act will essentially have to prove the bank had abused its discretion,” he said to CoinDesk. Lin said that while there have not been any reported decisions in Singapore on crypto lenders specifically exercising their discretion to freeze funds, he expects the same framework of discretion from TradFi to be applied. As of now, MAS has been focused on regulating crypto from an anti-money laundering and combating terror financing perspective. “MAS has stated that it will look towards widening the scope of cryptocurrency regulations in Singapore to cover more areas such as consumer protection, market conduct, and reserve backing for stablecoins,” Lin told CoinDesk. Without a license from MAS, Holdnaut won’t be able to offer token swap services. It can however still offer lending and borrowing services for cryptocurrency-related transactions, Lin explained, as it is not an activity currently regulated by the MAS. Holdnaut has not applied for bankruptcy protection unlike other CeFi lenders Celsius Network and Voyager Digital. The company has previously announced that it has "no exposure or loans" with Three Arrows Capital or Celsius. Per previous CoinDesk reporting the lender is working with Singapore-based law firm Damodara Ong on a timeline for a plan to preserve user assets. Hodlnaut has said on Twitter that it plans to provide another update to users on August 19.

Santiago/Getty Images The price of Bitcoin dropped below $20,000 on Saturday for the first time since Nov. 2020 and dropped below $18,000 before recovering Sunday morning to around $19,500. Bitcoin has lost more than 70 percent of its value since it peaked in Nov. 2021 at nearly $69,000, the Financial Times reported . These losses are tied to a larger downward trend in the stock market, driven by inflation and the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates. Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller said Saturday that he supports raising interest rates by another 0.75 percent at the Federal Reserve's July meeting. The Fed previously raised rates by 0.75 percent on Wednesday, bringing the federal funds rate up to between 1.5 and 1.75 percent. "The Fed is 'all in' on re-establishing price stability," Waller said at a conference in Dallas. A report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released earlier this month showed that consumer prices jumped 8.6 percent between May 2021 and May 2022, the fastest rate of increase in four decades.

E train is approaching Queens Plaza at speed on express track, and an M train up ahead is departing Queens Plaza from the local track and crossing over to the shared E tracks toward Court Sq and 53rd street tunnel. The E has a red signal at the western end of Queens Plaza station because the M just crossed over going to Court Sq, and so the CBTC starts slowing the E down to a near crawl as it approaches and enters Queens Plaza because of that upcoming stop signal. It seems the technology doesn't take into account that the E has to stop at that station regardless of signal, and doesn't allow it to enter the station at a 'normal' speed where the operator would just slow down more aggressively before the red signal and let passengers on/off while waiting for the signal to flip. Instead, time is wasted crawling at 5mph to the end of the platform, before it can then stop as it normally would. \n\nI see this happen all the time. Same story at Roosevelt Avenue -- you have an F trailing right behind an E. The E departs Roosevelt Ave, enters the next block, yet the CBTC forces the trailing F train to approach the station super slowly, even though it has to stop no matter what. I feel like this adds unnecessary delay when you could just have the train enter at normal speed, stop before the red, and spend that time waiting for the signal on the platform exchanging passengers (and allowing more time for people to switch between local M/R that may be nearby) instead of wasting time inching up the platform. \n\nIf I had to take a guess, the CBTC logic is treating red signals at a station the same way it would treat any other red signal -- forces train to slow down to maximize the amount of time it is able to be in motion approaching the unfavorable signal before it would have to come to a dead stop. In reality, red signals at stations where a train is already scheduled to stop should engage a different CBTC logic in how it slows trains down (i.e. not to 5mph) \n\nThoughts?", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/comments/wph5pk/for_intelligent_21st_century_tech_cbtc_can_be/', 'wph5pk', [['u/Railfan007', 17, '2022-08-16 04:19', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/comments/wph5pk/for_intelligent_21st_century_tech_cbtc_can_be/ikgupo3/', 'CBTC can be changed so the train can pull in faster.

Ether was trading under $1,900 less than two days after breaching $2,000 for the first time since late May, as investors large and small paused from more recent risk-embracing postures.\n"The recent crypto rebound has hit a wall as retail traders continue to lick their wounds and institutions respect key technical levels," Edward Moya, senior market analyst for foreign exchange Oanda, wrote in an email. "Bitcoin can’t yet break above the $25,000 level, but it seems to be maintaining a bullish trajectory here."\nOver the past seven days, ETH has outperformed BTC amid growing anticipation of the Merge, which will shift the Ethereum protocol from proof-of-work to a faster, more energy efficient proof-of-stake protocol. ETH’s total market capitalization is now 50% of BTC’s, approaching levels last seen in January. ETH’s market cap compared to BTC’s indicates the potential for a “flippening” event, where ETH’s total market cap exceeds BTC’s. In a report, FSInsight suggested that ether could approach bitcoin’s market cap over the next 12 months.\n"The upcoming merge has led to elevated trading activity for ETH, especially in the options market, where the open interest surpassed BTC’s for the first time in history," Arcane Research noted in a newsletter.\nOther cryptos were mixed, with popular meme coins DOGE and SHIB continuing their recent surge and rising more than 13% and 3%, respectively. But MANA, YGG and SAND all recently fell more than 2.5%.\nFutures tracking DOGE and SHIB recently had over $25 million in liquidations, data showed, suggesting part of the rally in them has stemmed from futures bets. But the two cryptos\' gains have also been confounding.\nEquities\nStocks were mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was slightly in the green after big box retailers Walmart (WMT) and Home Depot (HD) posted unexpectedly strong second-quarter earnings but the tech-focused Nasdaq down declined a fraction of a percentage point. The tech sector, which has largely correlated with crypto pricing, has been weathering disappointing results from major chip manufacturers.\nStill, a 17-month low in housing starts offered investors the latest hopeful sign that the the U.S. economy was decelerating sufficiently for the Federal Reserve to scale back interest rate hikes at some point over the next six months. A decline in the July Consumer Price Index (CPI) last week suggested that the bank\'s recent monetary hawkishness was slowing inflation. Travis Kling, founder and chief investment officer for Ikigai Asset Management, told "First Mover" on CoinDesk TV that these signs could "bode well for asset prices broadly and for crypto as well."\nCrypto news\nThe fallout from the terraUSD (UST) stablecoin collapse and wide-spreading price declines has slowed this month but is far from over. In anannouncementon its website, cryptocurrency lending platform Hodlnaut said it had filed an application with the Singapore High Court to be put under judicial management, which is a form of protection from creditors. The application was filed on Aug. 13, five days after the companyfroze withdrawals, and will temporarily safeguard the lender from any legal claims.\nHodlnaut is the latest in a long line of crypto companies that have been stung by the recent market downturn, Singapore-based exchange Zipmexreceived creditor protection on Monday, while trading firm Three Arrows Capitalowes billions of dollars to creditorsafter imploding in June due to leverage.\nLater Tuesday, Stronghold Digital Mining (SDIG) said itwas negotiatingwith its lenders over a possible debt restructuring or refinancing agreement that would keep the bitcoin miner afloat. Publicly traded miners have suffered in the bitcoin bear market, with their shares falling more than 60% on average this year, worse than bitcoin itself, which has lost less than half of its value. Stronghold\'s share price has tumbled about 70%.\nAlso Tuesday, Acala’s native stablecoin, aUSD, came close to regaining its peg to the U.S. dollar. The Polkadot-based decentralized finance (DeFi) platform burned over 1.2 billion aUSD tokens that were minted by exploiters over the weekend who took advantage of a bug in one of the platform’s liquidity pools.\nOanda\'s Moya struck an upbeat note despite bitcoin\'s recent retreat, highlighting institutional interest in digital assets. "Pretty much everyone on Wall Street thought that the mid-June lows would get retested for bitcoin, but now it seems this dead cat bounce doesn’t want to stop," he said. "It appears the institutional money is mostly behind this recent rebound, which suggests it could have a better chance of lasting."\n[{"Asset": "Dogecoin", "Ticker": "DOGE", "Returns": "+13.7%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}, {"Asset": "Gala", "Ticker": "GALA", "Returns": "+3.5%", "DACS Sector": "Entertainment"}, {"Asset": "Shiba Inu", "Ticker": "SHIB", "Returns": "+2.8%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}]\n[{"Asset": "Loopring", "Ticker": "LRC", "Returns": "\\u22123.0%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Chainlink", "Ticker": "LINK", "Returns": "\\u22122.7%", "DACS Sector": "Computing"}, {"Asset": "Decentraland", "Ticker": "MANA", "Returns": "\\u22122.5%", "DACS Sector": "Entertainment"}]\nCrypto\'s Struggle With Correlation\nBy Sam Reynolds\nLong ago, crypto was thought of as an asset to use in time of risk. When Cypriot authorities forced the country’s people to take a haircut on deposits in 2013, they turned to bitcoin to preserve wealth.\nNow, things are different. Crypto is a different kind of asset. A risk asset like tech stocks. Not the safe haven it once was.\nNobody knows when this will end, or even if it will return to where it once was.\nIn an email to CoinDesk, Scott Sheridan, CEO of options trading platform Tastyworks, pointed to the bull market’s major equity valuations as a magnet for more capital, which in turn drives up prices. Sheridan, for his part, rejects the idea that crypto can be considered a safe haven given its volatility.\n“Crypto, on the other hand, doesn’t have the same valuation metrics. It’s still in its infancy and so are its valuation models,” he said to CoinDesk via email. “That ambiguity, with respect to valuations, is what allowed for investors to justify chasing prices higher. If I’m right on that, then I would expect the volatility in crypto to outlast the volatility in equities, something you don’t want if you’re seeking a safe haven.”\nCrypto and stocks will rebound together\nSheridan thinks crypto won’t turn around until equities do and market volatility subsides.\n“Once we get back to a VIX [an index measuring volatility] near its mean of 18, then I think you’ll see equity prices stabilize and at that point, you might see crypto stabilize or begin moving higher. Until then, I think the combination of potential alpha in equity markets and the evolving state and subsequent turbulence in crypto are more geared toward speculation than they are sheltered from the storm,” he continued.\n***\nSpeaking at this year’s Consensus festival, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz predicted it will be in October when the U.S. Federal Reserve flinches first on raising interest rates. But that all depends on how inflation goes and how economies worldwide respond. With the People’s Bank of China taking aseemingly different approach than the Fed– lowering rates while the Fed raises them – it could be a while before things stabilize.\nU.S. FOMC minutes released\n11 p.m. HKT/SGT(3 p.m. UTC):U.S. FOMC minutes released\n2 p.m. HKT/SGT(6 a.m. UTC):U.K. core consumer price index(July)\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nFormer CFTC Commissioner Dawn Stump on Crypto Regulation; Celsius On Pace to Run Out of Cash by October\n"First Mover" spoke with former CFTC Commissioner Dawn Stump on the future of crypto regulation and her new role at crypto risk monitoring firm Solidus Labs.

On Wednesday, markets wrestled with U.S. Federal Reserve\'s minutes from last month\'s meeting of its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which in central bankers\' typically obtuse language indicated that the Fed would continue raising interest rates but seemed open to downward adjustments in the near future.\nCryptos already bleeding red initially responded with a big shrug.\nBTC was recently trading at about $23,400, down about 2.5% over the past 24 hours and well off the $25,000 level it reached on Sunday for the first time since late spring. ETH was recently trading hands at about $1,850, off roughly 2.8% over the same period after topping $2,000 multiple times over the past week.\nThe second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has been soaring in recent weeks amid hot anticipation of the Merge, which will shift the Ethereum blockchain from proof-of-work to the faster, more energy efficient proof-of-stake protocol. Other cryptos were largely in the red. AAVE was down more than 8% at one point, and the popular meme coins, DOGE and SHIB, which had surged over the past few days, were each off more than 5%.\n"In the last 24 hours, we\'ve had a little bit of a pullback," Joe Orsini, director of research at Eaglebrook Advisors, told CoinDesk TV\'s "First Mover" program. "When you consider the move that\'s been made with bitcoin up around 30% from June 18 lows, ether up about 115%, profit taking without FOMO, and some traders kind of taking some off the table makes sense. It doesn\'t change the long-term story [of] $25,000; regaining that level should provide some psychological positivity around the market."\nOrsini added: "Things under the surface in the macro situation, have started to feel like they are improving. I wouldn\'t take too much into the short-term price action. We\'ve had a great bounce. And let\'s see what could happen over this quarter.\nEquities\nStocks also slogged through a dreary day with the technology-focused Nasdaq tumbling 1.2% and the S&P 500, which has a strong tech component, and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) declining 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively. Equity markets that have roared back to life amid faint hopes that the Federal Reserve\'s recent monetary hawkishness was subduing inflation without casting the economy into steep recession have lost momentum this week as investors chewed on the latest economic signs.\nU.S. retail sales ticked up slightly in July, a reflection of falling gas prices that encouraged consumers to continue shopping despite ongoing inflation. The retail figure also suggests that even if the economy is slowing, it remains strong.

(Lamborghini ) Supercar ownership in the UK reached a record high in 2021 as millionaires stuck in lockdowns used pent-up savings to treat themselves to a new Ferrari or Lambo. Over 18,000 supercars were added to the UK’s roads in 2021, an increase of 19% on the previous year, with Ferraris being the most popular vehicles after almost 12,000 were sold, according to data from accountancy firm Hacker Young. Lamborghini sales jumped almost 60% to 3,849 vehicles. It’s believed the hike in sales is down to the supercar’s popularity with crypto investors, with the “Where Lambo?” meme of an ape being regularly shared among Bitcoin enthusiasts. UHY Hacker Young partner David Kendrick said: “The wash of money from the government and central banks into the economy has inadvertently helped supercar sales in unexpected ways such as ‘overnight’ cryptocurrency millionaires and extremely low cost finance for supercars.” “Ferrari remains the biggest selling supercar, but Lamborghini is quickly becoming the supercar of choice among crypto investors.” London’s swanky districts of Mayfair and Belgravia came top in the UK for supercar ownership with a combined 553 cars, closely followed by Kensington and Chelsea with 507 of the luxury vehicles. The average supercar sold for £770,000 in the UK, while prices for a new Bugatti start at a staggering £1.4 million. The average price for a new car is £42,054, according to What Car? data, while prices start at £18,385 for the UK’s most popular car, the Ford Fiesta . The UK’s supercar market is poised for a downturn in the coming months, however, as rising inflation and interest rate rises make investing in the luxury vehicles less attractive. Crypto investors may be less keen – or indeed able – to purchase a new Lambo more recently, as the price of Bitcoin has fallen almost 50% since the start of the year.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/aFungible', 'This is how much you can earn per day, with mining Monero!', 91, '2022-08-18 00:46', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/wr2ll0/this_is_how_much_you_can_earn_per_day_with_mining/', '**PURE NON-TECHNICAL POST FOR LAYMAN**\n\nJust wanted to share some knowledge. I did some calculation for the past 24 hours to determine various statistic of blocks. I hope below helps all to get some perspective on how the calculations are done.\n\nThere are 1440 minutes a day (duh!). Every 2 minutes, a block is mined. So, \\~720 blocks are mined per day. Every block fills in a number of transactions. And it is the job of miners, to validate a block & add it to the Monero blockchain and they are rewarded:\n\n>WHEN MINER MINES A BLOCK (he gets..) = Base block reward (0.6 XMR/block) + (total fee of every transaction in that block)\n\n​\n\n[Example of blocks mined by a miner](https://preview.redd.it/z9pnpdjccdi91.png?width=868&format=png&auto=webp&s=f20288a734c5d01852e2b0c30649aef08b52eab9)\n\n**In the last 24 hours, Monero miners earned:**\n\n* \\~435.5 XMR (\\~$73,000) for validating 26,376 transactions\n* Added 63 MB to blockchain.\n\n**Rewards:**\n\n* Fees alone: \\~3.5 XMR\n* Block reward: \\~432 XMR (this will remain constant forever, due to tail emission of 0.6 XMR/block)\n\nUsers **pay for space (in kB)**, not really for a transaction. Each transaction is **\\~1.5 KB - \\~101 KB** . S, what makes a transaction small or heavy? It is depending on **"how many outputs"** it has combined for spending. On average a transaction is \\~2.4 KB.\n\n63743049 bytes / 26,404 transactions = **\\~2.4 KB** (last 24 hrs)\n\n***Example:***\n\nEvery time you receive money into your monero wallet, creates "one output". Every time you spend money from your wallet, you use "one or more" of those existing outputs. As its called "UTXO" in Bitcoin terminology (unspent transaction output).\n\nYou combine "multiple outputs" when say, you spend 1 XMR, but you have 10 outputs of 0.1 XMR in your wallet. These are combined to provide a transaction. Thereby, making the transaction 10 times the smallest size possible (in kB), making it more expensive for the user. OR lets say, you send all your balances in your wallet - back to your own wallet or another wallet address (here, all outputs in your sender\'s wallet will be combined into one or more, and sent to destination wallet, thus making transaction heavier, thus costlier (relatively speaking, though still may be a few $ cents).\n\n​\n\n[Block stats of past 24 hours](https://preview.redd.it/5q5100nsoci91.png?width=538&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ec2488b325a289c7990627ab1a1f3b768d1a4f3)\n\n**Dynamic Block Sizing:**\n\nNormal situation: Up to 300kB per block \\[ Total reward: 0.6 XMR/block + total fee earned for all transactions in this block \\]. If miner tries smart by adding more transactions to a block, then he is penalized by reducing the base block reward (0.6 XMR), unless he can compensate this reduction by greater transaction fee (he can\'t act too smart).\n\nNormally, miners don\'t extend the block beyond 300kB (unless transaction fees are REALLY JUICY). Currently, you see the average of past 720 blocks is 88 KB.\n\nWhen the average of the **past 100 blocks** becomes \\~300kB, then something called "dynamic block sizing" kicks in. In dynamic block sizing, miners can sweetly extend beyond 300kB until 600kB, without incurring any penalty of base block reward (0.6 XMR). Thereby, adding more transactions/block. This also helps miners earn more. Adoption is thus, the key for miner earnings!\n\nAmazing right?\n\n**EDIT: Now, to the main question. How much can you earn with mining?**\n\nDivide the *total earnings/day* by the *mining network hashrate* of \\~2.5 GHz\n\n>= \\~435.5 XMR / 2.5 GHz \n> \n>= \\~0.0000001742 XMR per Hash/s \n> \n>= \\~0.0001742 XMR for 1 KH/s per day \n> \n>= \\~0.063583 XMR per year, for 1 KH/s mining power maintained through the year, irrespective of XMR price.\n\nSo, for mining with **1 KH/s CPU** retained for a year, you\'d earn **\\~0.06 XMR** on average, for that year. This is with the assumption you\'re on a mining pool, e.g. P2Pool. If you solo mine, you could earn less or more (if you\'re lucky, you have 0 or multiple 0.6 XMR block reward to your name).\n\nDrop a comment, if you learnt something new.\n\nCheers!\n\n​', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/wr2ll0/this_is_how_much_you_can_earn_per_day_with_mining/', 'wr2ll0', [['u/JuiceColdman', 64, '2022-08-18 03:40', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/wr2ll0/this_is_how_much_you_can_earn_per_day_with_mining/ikqmwu0/', 'But how much can you earn per day lol', 'wr2ll0'], ['u/aFungible', 25, '2022-08-18 03:53', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/wr2ll0/this_is_how_much_you_can_earn_per_day_with_mining/ikqonpm/', 'Divide the total earnings/day by the mining network hashrate of ~2.5 GHz\n\n= ~435.5 XMR / 2.5 GHz\n\n= ~0.0000001742 XMR per Hash/s\n\n= ~0.0001742 XMR for 1 KH/s per day\n\n= ~0.063583 XMR per year, for 1 KH/s mining power maintained through the year, irrespective of XMR price.', 'wr2ll0'], ['u/BeerIsGoodForSoul', 15, '2022-08-18 04:15', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/wr2ll0/this_is_how_much_you_can_earn_per_day_with_mining/ikqrq7r/', "Lol'ing if this is satire.\n\nOtherwise monero uses CPU's to mine", 'wr2ll0']]], ['u/cryptocrat007', 'To pay or not to pay?', 84, '2022-08-18 00:47', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CelsiusNetwork/comments/wr2mi2/to_pay_or_not_to_pay/', 'I took out a 125K loan in USDC last year and have over 15 BTC posted as collateral.

Bitcoin was recently trading at about $22,800, down about 2.5% over the past 24 hours. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization which has spiraled downward after reaching a two-month high above $25,000 last weekend. Late Wednesday, BTC fell below a bullish trendline after the release of minutes from the last Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting showed U.S. central bankers unlikely to lighten their current monetary hawkishness. The Fed Reserve has raised interest rates a hefty 75 basis points at each of its last two meetings as it aims to suppress high inflation. Ether, the second-largest crypto by market value behind BTC, was recently changing hands just above $1,800, also down more than 2% from Wednesday and far removed from the $2,000 level perch it was still flirting with late Sunday. Merge excitement has tapered off in recent days. Story continues "Bitcoin is range bound at the moment," said Nauman Sheikh, managing director at investment advisors Wave Financial, told CoinDesk TV\'s "First Mover" program. "It\'s hit a $25,000, sort of resistance level. So has Ethereum hit a $2,000 resistance level. We\'re in a mode where the macro environment is supportive of the market, and we\'ll retest those resistance levels and hopefully break." Major altcoins that spent much of Thursday in promising territory also dove downward late in the day with YGG and OP recently plunging more than 14% and 13%.

Ethereum fell 2.3% to change hands at US$1,936, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin had touched US$24,974 on Friday, its highest since early June and looked set to crack the $25,000 mark, before the buying faded. Ethereum showed more initial momentum, reaching US$2,022 in early morning trading Monday before slipping back. Ethereum is still up 14% on the week and has reached highs last seen in late May as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency rallies ahead of the upcoming network “Merge.” Cardano fell 5% after earlier rallying 7% to a two-month high of US$0.59.

I figured this would be especially interesting to track this year, depending on how the crypto market performs. My goal of this little side quest was to beat the ROI of as many of the non-stablecoin cryptos in the Experiment as possible.\n\nI started the year using the most straightforward strategies, moving the $100\xa0**USDC**\xa0around to get bonuses from different platforms.\xa0 With crypto tanking, my ROI on stables was easily outperforming the rest of the portfolio.\xa0 In May, I decided to do something a bit more interesting. My choice?\xa0 Convert the\xa0**USDC**\xa0to\xa0**UST**, then deposit the\xa0**UST**\xa0on Anchor. Seemed like a good idea at the time.\xa0\xa0\n\nMy\xa0**UST**\xa0is now worth $3.67.\n\nHere’s a table of the\xa0**USDC**\xa0side mission so far this year.

Much has changed in the last 4.5+ years, including Decentralized Finance (DeFi) projects that have created index tokens to capture segments of the crypto market (DeFi, the Metaverse, Blue Chips, etc.) instead of manually buying coins and tokens, like I do for my Experiments.\n\nA project of particular interest to the Top Ten Experiments is the\xa0**Total Crypto Market Cap**\xa0([**TCAP**](https://cryptex.finance/))\xa0**token,**\xa0created by\xa0[Cryptex](https://np.reddit.com/r/cryptex/), which tracks the entire crypto market – exactly what my Top Ten Portfolios have been trying to recreate from the start.\n\nI thought it would be interesting to compare my homemade 2022 Top Ten Crypto Index Fund Experiment to\xa0**TCAP**\xa0for a bit of a friendly competition. Here’s the question I’ve been tracking this year:\xa0***would I have been better off with $1,000 of TCAP instead of going through the effort of creating a homemade $1,000 Top Ten Index Fund?***\n\n**TCAP**\xa0snapshot August 1st:\xa0\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/x637s66pvji91.png?width=520&format=png&auto=webp&s=d17a46bc7e0bc2d3cddc02838ab1e5f88ccdefe6\n\nBoth the\xa0**TCAP**\xa0token and the\xa0**2022 Top Ten Portfolio**\xa0gained in July.\xa0 Monthly performances:\n\n* **The 2022 Top Ten Portfolio**: +26%\xa0\n* **TCAP**: +29%.\n\nThe July monthly victory goes to:\xa0**TCAP**.\n\n**Overall since January 1st, 2022:**\xa0\n\n* **The 2022 Top Ten Portfolio:**\xa0current value $310 (-69%)\xa0\n* **TCAP:**\xa0current value $466 (-53%)\n\nOverall lead:\xa0**TCAP** \n\nVisual summary below:\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/z61wgjkqvji91.png?width=843&format=png&auto=webp&s=81cc68b832a3a31aa8df0f060eb8ca2be60af397\n\n**TCAP’s**\xa0outperformance of an equally weighted Top Ten Portfolio is in line with what the Experiment has observed over the five years of its existence:\xa0 with the exception of the 2021 Portfolio, every year the Total Market Cap outperforms a Top Ten approach.\xa0 And if history is any indication, I expect the 2021 Top 10 to fall behind\xa0**TCAP**\xa0eventually.\n\n## Bitcoin Dominance:\n\nBitDom dropped this month, ending July at 41.2%.

With technology reaching new heights everyday, there is a financial product for everything. But in spite of all the progress, there is still a lot needed to be done in the crypto sector. Consider an investment banker who trades stocks on a conventional market. For any financial need, there is a product or service available. He uses ETFs. But, as a crypto enthusiast, he discovers that he needs to do a significant amount of work there himself. Having to do things that he doesn't do himself with his stocks. One such investment banker, who calls himself ‘Moby’ in crypto space, came up with the idea of a crypto brokering platform that would return 633% APY on a safe investment in crypto space, and named it Golddoge Sachs. Golddoge Sachs Principle and Working Users buy a single Golddoge Sachs ($GDS) token, and eventually the purchases build up the investment pot that further buys into 14 blue chips in cryptocurrency including the absolute major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, etc. With the continuous trading volume, the investment pot keeps building up. Over time, this investment earns a yield as the crypto market rises. This yield is periodically siphoned off and paid out to holders through buybacks in $GDS. Thus, the token replicates the yield. If the token grows because the demand increases, this also increases the token value, creating a simple yet efficient leverage effect. The token launches with the blue chip ETF and is initially exclusively available on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP20). But Moby claims that additional chains and more types of ETFs are planned, so there is something for everyone. Users simply need a wallet, similar to the stock market, and no accounts are required.

Golddoge Sachs protects users’ investments in following ways: The investment pot acts as a hedge against financial losses. Anti-swing trading token design Anti-bot taxation Anti-sniper launch conditions Bot protection in the community Max transaction anti-dump rules Max wallet anti-whale rules Tokenomics Golddoge Sachs ($GDS) has a 15% tax on Buy and Sell transactions which is distributed in the following way: 2% goes to the development 3% goes to the marketing 10% goes to the investment pot The investment pot makes investments into the 14 top-performing cryptocurrencies, and users receive a return on gains at the end of the month. But, as the investment uses a leverage effect, users can expect to receive 3 times more than if they invested by themselves.

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:** ['Photo Illustration by Erin O\'Flynn/The Daily Beast/Getty In May of last year, someone claiming to be a military doctor on a secret mission in North Korea contacted Laura Francis on Facebook, looking for love and connection. Francis, a California realtor, thought he was charming—his profile images portrayed a man with a muscular build, beard, tattoos, and hospital scrubs—but was initially skeptical of his intentions. The mystery man called himself “David Hodge,” and he claimed to be a kind of surgeon, helping soldiers who’d been injured by explosives in war. As part of his backstory, David told Francis he had an ex-wife who had cheated on him, and a 5-year-old son. David’s love-bombing of Francis, 69, was insistent. He texted Francis every morning and throughout the day (usually on Google Hangouts) and called her on the phone just as often. “I fell in love with his voice, he had the cutest laugh,” Francis recalls. He serenaded her with links to romantic songs on YouTube: “Hero” by Enrique Iglesias and “I Swear” by All-4-One. According to Francis, David said “he had been there and done that with the beautiful young women, and they were all not loyal.” He told her he “wanted somebody that was more mature.” How an Army of Women Hunted Down the Online-Dating Scammer Who Conned Them Into Marriage “Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice but falling in love with you is beyond my control,” David wrote one evening in August 2021, as they discussed buying a wedding ring. Courtesy of Laura Francis “You have no idea how elaborate it was,” Francis told The Daily Beast in an interview, after she learned her nearly year-long affair with David wasn’t a real relationship but a cryptocurrency romance scam, one in which she claims she lost $248,000 of her savings—money that was supposed to be her daughter’s inheritance. “He had an excuse or an answer for every question,” Francis said. “I asked millions of questions. Because I didn’t trust or believe anything from the first.” Courtesy of Laura Francis Anytime Francis doubted him, David would send her photos he claimed were of himself, holding a sign that said: “I love you Laura and am not a scammer I’m Davidson Hodge.” He also sent her a purported passport and copies of a seemingly detailed bank statement, from a local bank in Columbus, Ohio—but which utilized a Chase Bank P.O. Box and which included some notable typos—claiming he had $3 million. He also sent her a photo of his arm, decked in military camouflage, and hand holding an “employment agreement” containing a U.S. Marine Corps logo. Story continues Whenever he asked Francis for money, she says, he always promised to pay her back once he was out of the service and had access to his accounts. David directed her to use several Bitcoin apps including Coinbase and Coin Cloud Bitcoin ATMs until she cut him off in March. (The Daily Beast reviewed some of Francis’ Coin Cloud receipts with deposits totaling $37,080 in August 2021 alone, and one blockchain analytics firm said she appeared to have deposited around $60,000 via the ATM in September.) Asked for comment, Cloud Coin said its terms of service prevent it from sharing personal information about customers but said it has sympathy for the victims of financial crimes. “When a customer buys, the digital asset(s) go into their wallet,” the company said in a statement. “From there, we don’t know what a customer does with their currency, coin, or token.” Within three months, Francis was sucked into a whirlwind drama rivaling daytime soap operas. And each plot line drew her deeper into what she believed was true love, followed by a rift caused by a second alleged scammer named “Robert Manguire,” who claimed to be an oil rig worker in Louisiana and warned her David was a con artist. “Between the two of them, they had me on the run,” Francis said. David would tell her he was shunning her until she blocked Robert, and Robert threatened to tell her family about how much she’d paid David unless she blocked the supposed doctor. “I didn’t know how I was going to face my family,” she said, “and I did not know how I was ever going to let my family know how much money I lost.” Romance scams are big business in the U.S., and crypto is a growing piece of it. The FBI reported that Americans lost $1 billion to romance scammers in 2021, while the Federal Trade Commission estimated they lost $750 million to crypto scams that same year. (The FTC also said crypto was the second-most common form of payment in romance scams, above wire transfers and apps like Venmo.) Paul Sibenik, the lead case manager at CipherBlade, a company that helps track and recover stolen or scammed crypto, said anywhere from 30 to 40 percent of his company’s clients are victims of a romance scam. While the FBI began warning about Internet romance rackets as early 2005 , the rise of cryptocurrency has made it even easier to scam money instantly, across borders, and without detection. And pandemic lockdowns meant more and more people turned to dating apps and websites as a means of finding love remotely. Romance scams hit a record high in 2021, according to the FTC, totaling more than any other category of fraud. The horror stories of courtship-based schemes increasingly involve crypto. In February, Nicole Hutchinson of Tennessee told CBS News that she lost $390,000 of her and her father’s money—some of it her inheritance after her mom died—after she fell for a scammer named “Hao” on the Hinge dating app. The man encouraged her to create an account on Crypto.com and instructed her to transfer funds to a link he claimed was a cryptocurrency exchange platform; instead, the money went into his pockets. Another victim, South Carolina business owner Zahra Hajiaghamohseni, told NBC affiliate WCBD-TV that she lost $350,000 after a handsome man wooed her online, then encouraged her to invest in crypto. She later learned her suitor had scammed her, using a fake identity and someone else’s photos, after she traveled to an airport to pick him up but he never arrived. The government has responded to this surge in crypto-related crimes by staffing up with investigators. The Securities and Exchange Commission nearly doubled the size of its Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit this spring, from 30 to 50, and the FBI announced a new Virtual Asset Exploitation Unit dedicated to blockchain analysis and virtual asset seizure. The Justice Department also launched two new crypto-related arms last year: one focusing on criminal money laundering and cybersecurity, and the other on civil fraud cases. But the hires do not mean that every crypto fraud will be prosecuted. Several experts who spoke with The Daily Beast said federal law enforcement is unlikely to take cases where it deems the losses “too small”—a label some experts said can apply even to six-figure losses. Victims with smaller losses are directed to local police forces, which often do not have the training or tools to deal with a highly technical crime. There are other issues that complicate a crypto fraud investigation, the primary one being that the fraudsters could be anywhere in the world—far outside the jurisdiction of local police. They are also incredibly hard to identify, because, although all cryptocurrency transactions are made public on the blockchain, they occur anonymously, identified only by a long string of numbers designating a crypto “wallet.” Add to that the fact that many scammers use multiple wallets, or employ something called a “mixer” that combines their money with others to make it harder to track, and hunting down your stolen funds can be harder than actually finding true love. Going the civil route isn’t easy, either, according to Tal Lifshitz, a financial fraud attorney who also handles crypto cases. Tracking crypto transactions often involves expensive software or outside firms that cost more than a recently defrauded litigant can afford. And without those, it’s difficult for an attorney to know who to subpoena, or even serve. “With traditional financial fraud, we know there’s a bank [or accounting firm] involved,” Lifshitz said. “Even if you don’t necessarily have access to it before you bring a case, you know they exist, because they have to. None of those things have to exist in a crypto fraud.” Laura Francis Courtesy of Laura Francis Francis says the first time David asked for money, he claimed his top-secret cover was blown and his military base was forced to relocate. As David and his crew members traveled up a river, he claimed, their boat overturned and they lost their belongings including cellphones. Francis says she paid $5,600 for a new phone for David, and while he was waiting for the device, paid two of his colleagues a total of $7,000 so he could borrow their phones. “He kept convincing me that where he was stationed and the conditions that he was living under were so dramatic, so iffy, so touch-and-go, we could be dead any minute,” she said. As they began to plan their future together, David suggested she buy her own engagement ring through a military program that would prove he had a fiancée and allow his release from his three-year military contract. She paid a total of $42,568 for a diamond ring—but when the band arrived in the mail, she saw it had a $9.99 price tag and was actually a chintzy cubic zirconia. The wedding ring wasn’t even enough to release David from his military tour, according to him. David told her “Shawn Porter,” a colleague he claimed handled the sale of military engagement rings, failed to send “paperwork” necessary to get him out, and the online couple had a fight. According to Francis, David and Shawn had instructed her to send money incrementally via a Coin Cloud Bitcoin ATM, which she’d visit sometimes three times a day. She says she would feed $100 bills into the machine to send to David as he stood by on the phone to walk her through the process. “It started out at $1,500 a day,” Francis recalled. “I got **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [19987.03, 21085.88, 21231.66, 21502.34, 21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63, 20104.02, 19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21, 20860.45, 19970.56, 19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

On Monday, bitcoin (BTC) declined by 1.49%. Following a 2.06% fall on Sunday, bitcoin ended the day at $20,718. A bullish morning saw bitcoin rise to a high of $21,505 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the First Major Resistance Level at $21,605, bitcoin slid to a low of $20,553. Bitcoin briefly fell through the First Major Support Level at $20,716 before a partial recovery to $20,718. Following the NASDAQ 100 effect from last week, we anticipated further influence at the start of the week. Early in the session, the NASDAQ delivered bitcoin support before a late reversal. Bitcoin tracked the NASDAQ into the red, though the losses were modest. A jump in crude oil prices tested support for riskier assets. Commodity prices are causing market angst at present. Crude oil prices responded to news updates from the G7. G7 nations promised to introduce fresh sanctions, including a cap on Russian oil prices. The pickup in crude oil prices reignited fears of persistent inflation that would force to Fed to stand by its mantra of bringing inflation to target at any cost, which weighed on riskier assets. At the time of writing, the NASDAQ 100 Mini was up 46.75 points. This morning, the Fear & Greed Index fell from 12/100 to 10/100. Sitting deep in the “Extreme Fear” zone, the latest Fear & Greed Index pullback brings sub-10/100 and the June 19 low of 6/100 into play. Current levels suggest a bitcoin return to sub-$20,000. Investors hoping for an Index return to 25/00 and the Fear Zone will need to wait, with recent trends continuing to suggest further bitcoin losses. The Index last visited the “Fear Zone” on May 5, when bitcoin stood at $36,630. At the time of writing, BTC was up 0.51% to $20,823. A mixed start to the day saw bitcoin fall to a low of $20,711 before rising to a high of $20,850. BTC left the Support and Resistance Levels untested early on. A BTC move through the $20,924pivotwould bring the First Major Resistance Level at $21,299 and the Monday high of $21,505 into play. BTC would need plenty of support to return to $21,000. An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $21,823 and resistance at $22,500. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $22,829. Failure to move through the pivot would bring the First Major Support Level at $20,350 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, bitcoin should avoid sub-$19,500. The Second Major Support Level at $19,978 should limit the downside. The Third Major Support Level sits at $19,021. Looking at theEMAsand the 4-hourly candlestick chart (below), it was a bearish signal. This morning, bitcoin sat below the 50-day EMA, currently at $21,138. The 50-day EMA fell back from the 100-day EMA. The 100-day EMA eased back from the 100-day EMA, bitcoin price negative. A return to $22,000 would bring the 100-day EMA, currently at $22,338, and resistance at $22,500 in play. However, failure to move through the 50-day EMA would bring the Major Support Levels into play.

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 Herbert Lash NEW YORK (Reuters) -U.S. shares fell sharply and the dollar surged on Monday as fears mounted that central bank efforts to tame rising consumer prices with inflation-busting interest-rate hikes will weaken the global economy and lead to a recession. Earlier in Europe the benchmark STOXX index for regional shares closed down 1% after Russia\'s Gazprom said it would halt natural gas supplies to Europe for three days at the end of the month. Oil at first fell 4% as traders bet a slowdown would dent demand. But the latest disruption to energy supplies in Europe heightened concerns about the continent\'s economic outlook after hawkish signals from European Central Bank policymakers. Russian natural gas supplies to Europe are down around 75% year on year. A closely monitored recession signal - the inversion of the U.S. Treasuries\' yield curve - widened as the market braced for remarks on Friday from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who will discuss at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the Fed\'s mission to lower inflation. The dollar strengthened, knocking the euro below parity at 0.9944 and pushing the Canadian dollar to breach 1.30 against the greenback. The strong dollar led gold prices to fall to their lowest level in nearly four weeks. "Ahead of Jackson Hole the dollar is going to remain relatively firm, even though it\'s overextended," said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex. Despite a quick shift toward a more hawkish view of the Fed, "the market has this habit of reading Powell to be dovish. So I see the risk of \'buy the rumor,\' - the rumor of a hawkish Fed - and then sell it \'on the fact,\'" he said. Fed funds futures are now pricing in a 54.5% chance of a 75 basis-point hike by the Fed in September, instead of the greater probability of a 50 basis-point hike as the market had expected going into the weekend. A Reuters poll of economists taken Aug. 16-19 forecast the Fed will raise rates by 50 basis points in September, with the risks skewed toward a higher peak. Story continues The Treasury yield curve measuring the gap between yields on two- and 10-year notes inverted to -29.7 basis points after easing a bit last week in a sign recession bets have increased. "The inverted yield curve is signaling a massive \'recession\' is upon us," said Tom di Galoma, managing director at Seaport Global Holdings, in a note to investors. "Yield curve inversions are great predictors of recessions."

The objective of the partnership is to promote the cryptocurrency sector whilst also bolstering the European market and helping Ukraine’s economy get back on track and have its market operate at a global level. Important details The collective efforts and support for Ukraine of both Usyk and QMALL shall demonstrate the joint power and capabilities of the two top brands to not just cryptocurrency enthusiasts, but also sports fans in general. Keeping this in mind,Oleksandrwill emerge for his fight in front of a packed audience while wearing QMALL merchandise, which isn't a new phenomenon by any means as other athletes like Israel Adesanya also recently wore gear that was sponsored by and showcased Crypto.com. The partnership between QMALL and Oleksandr could very well be advantageous for the market and aid in its recovery, as cryptocurrencies remain highly popular around the world, and the sheer volume of mainstream attention paid to these digital assets cannot be overstated. Furthermore, QMALL has a European license and is legally allowed to operate in Europe. The exchange currently has over 300,000 European traders, and a number of launchpads for new European cryptocurrency initiatives will be launched on the exchange next month in September. QMALL users will also be able to invest in a wide range of new projects exclusively through the exchange's token. Holders of this token will find that they can access many additional benefits which will also have a direct effect on growth. Previous achievements and future goals Regarding previous accomplishments, QMALL's announcement about the formation of Europe's largest launchpad (QPad), which is open to crypto startups from all over the world, was a defining moment in the digital space. The project will be presented in partnership withSophia Antipolis, Silicon Valley's French equivalent. QMALL had also embedded the Euro for the exhange's trading services in order to further enhance users' experiences on the platform and simplify the trading process. Additionally, QMALL will introduce new launchpads before long, and the first Ukrainian Crypto Bank is also being developed. Lastly, cryptocurrency cards will be released soon as well as the world's first meta crypto exchange. About QMALL As a legally licensed crypto exchange,QMALLis legally permitted to function in Europe and offer its services. As previously mentioned, the exchange has gained more than 300,000 European traders, all of whom are actively taking part in the burgeoning crypto space through QMALL’s various trading functionalities such as basic, advanced and fast trading, OTC services, a trading derby, support for many cryptocurrency assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and more. QMALL will also launch numerous launchpads for new European crypto projects in September 2022, and the exchange's customers will be able to invest in many new projects as well via the native token (QMALL). Essentially, the exchange wishes to help improve the current state of the European market and assist in its recovery following the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Like a majority of other cryptocurrency exchanges, QMALL has therefore established partnerships with the likes of Sophia Antipolis and most recently with Oleksandr Usyk.

That\'s why they keep HEX liquid and only 9-10% of HEX is staked... They only bought to chase a pump, because they are still degens... The ones that truly understand the HEX staking contract find it VERY difficult to keep HEX liquid and instead they stake everything they can like I do... Every HEX token in my wallet that\'s NOT staked is a token that\'s NOT generating yield for me and multiplying, and I don\'t like that... I keep a very small bag liquid, but most of my HEX is staked making me more HEX while I sleep... And I keep buying more and making new stakes as much as possible.\n\nI will never sell one of my stake\'s original amount of HEX (my principal), I will only sell my stake\'s yield, for as long as HEX exists... Then, I will re-stake the principal and repeat, creating passive income... One day there will be MANY others with the same mentality I have, and the HEX price will be so high, that nobody today can even fathom it, just like they couldn\'t with Bitcoin. If your whole HEX bag is liquid, you don\'t understand HEX and you are not using it as intended... But it\'s okay because NOBODY that held BTC when it was less than $1 made it to see the gains when it reached $69k, NOBODY... Not even Satoshi (because he/she is probably dead)...\n\nCreating a HEX staking ladder will not only ensure I see those crazy gains in 15 yrs, but I will see gains long before that because I have stakes ending every year for the next 15+ yrs... So if HEX reaches $50 in 3-5 yrs or $100 in 8-10 yrs, I don\'t have to EES any of my stakes to see some profits... I will have a stake ending that year already... And the year before, and the year after, and so on... I don\'t trust people (banks, brokers aka middlemen), but I do trust code, and the code will run until the Ethereum blockchain stops running, and even if so it will still run on PulseChain when it launches as well...\n\nSitting there waiting for pumps while Tshares get more expensive every day is a big mistake... Stake $500 worth of HEX for 5555 and you will take a small risk for a possible HUGE gain in the future... Most of you spend more than that on lottery tickets per year... Then, keep staking as you see fit for any amount of time you wish to create a staking ladder, and you will probably outperform your other "retirement" plans with HEX, and much sooner than paying 30yrs into your 401k that\'s tied to the S&P 500 and therefore has counterparty risk (unlike HEX)...

Bitcoin and Ethereum are two of the most widely used cryptocurrencies. NFT — A non-fungible token is a unique digital ID, which can’t be copied or substituted, and is recorded in a blockchain. NFTs are used to certify authenticity and ownership of a specific piece of digital content (like an image or a video) along with specific rights pertaining to the content. DAO — A decentralized autonomous organization is controlled by its participating members; it isn’t governed by any single individual or entity. DAOs provide accountability and transparency using a blockchain; typically, access to a DAO is verified via an NFT. Secondary Market — In the finance world, a secondary market provides a platform where existing owners of stocks and other securities can buy, sell or trade those assets. In the context of NFTs, a secondary market functions similarly, providing a marketplace for transacting sales and trades in a blockchain-verified way.

In equities, The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished Tuesday down 0.5%, the S&P 500 Index closed 0.2% lower, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was flat. U.S. equities slumped Monday amid concerns about China’s slowing economy, while the direction of U.S. interest rates is another major concern for investors. China’s unemployment outlays reached a record US$5.4 billion in June, while heat waves and drought cause power outages in regions that rely on hydroelectricity. To try to revive economic growth, the country’s central bank lowered lending interest rates for the second time in a week on Monday. Investors remain on edge about further rises in interest rates in the U.S. to slow inflation, and are looking to the Federal Reserve’s annual economic policy symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on Friday for guidance on how the Fed may proceed.

Bitcoinslipped briefly below $19,000 Thursday, as losses for cryptocurrencies deepened after the liquidation of troubled hedge fund Three Arrows Capital sparked fresh worries about the stability of the digital-asset sector. The leading cryptocurrency by market value dropped to $18,914, according toCoinDesk data, before recovering somewhat to regain $19,000 again. It was last trading 5% lower on the day at around $19,041, down about 60% year-to-date. Elsewhere in the market,ethereumdropped 9.4% to $1,018.93, and is now down more than 70% year-to-date. Major altcoinscardano,solana, andXRPfell 6.5%, 9.9% and 6.1% respectively. The Cryptocurrencies have suffered a steep sell-off this year alongside assets like growth stocks as investors turned to less  risky investments in the face of rising inflation and a potential recession. At the same time,high-profile financial troubles and bailoutsin the crypto ecosystem have cast doubt on the stability of the sector. That has put pressure on crypto prices including bitcoin, and analysts said the liquidation of Three Arrows Capital, also known as 3AC, on Wednesday could continue to push prices down. "Concerns are growing that the collapse of Three Arrows Capital could trigger further market contagion," Oanda analyst Edward Moya said in a note. A British Virgin Islands court ordered the liquidation of 3AC after itdefaulted on repaying a $670 million loan to the lending firm Voyager Digital. The hedge fund, co-founded by Su Zhu and Kyle Davies in 2012, is estimated to have lost $400 million in the crypto market crash,The Blockreported. It isn't the first high-profile crypto company to suffer thanks to the bear market.Major lender Celsius froze all withdrawalsafter suffering liquidity issues earlier this month, while thestablecoin issuer Terra saw its tokens USDT and luna both collapse in May. Meanwhile, FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried said there aresome crypto exchanges that are already secretly insolvent, according to Forbes.

Longtime bull Michael Saylor'sMicroStrategy is reportedly facing a margin callafter bitcoin fell below $21,000, though the companybought more bitcoinworth about $10 million this week. Some analysts see $20,000 as a key psychological level for bitcoin, and said its drop below that could mean a further drop ahead. Crypto hedge fund boss Dan Morehead of Pantera Capital said there are "major meltdowns" to come, Bloomberg reported. "It's getting very nervy in the crypto space and another significant break below here could bring fresh anxiety and more pain," Oanda's Craig Erlam said in a note about the $20,000 level. Erlam added that it's hard to create much of a bullish case for bitcoin beyond its admirable resilience and wondered how long the enthusiasm of its backers can sustain its price.

Bitcoin was recently changing hands at about $21,500, up a few fractions of a percentage point over the past 24 hours. After plunging late last week, the largest cryptocurrency by market value has been stubbornly clinging to its handhold above $21,000 amid largely tepid trading as investors wait for more clarity about the U.S. central bank\'s monetary policy going forward.\n"Bitcoin is not at the bottom and the crypto winter is not turning to spring quite yet," Stefan Rust, CEO of Layer1 blockchain and incubator Laguna, said in an email.\nEther was recently trading below $1,700, rising over 1% during the same period. The second-largest crypto by market value has been outperforming bitcoin over the past few weeks amid eager anticipation of the Ethereum blockchain Merge, which will shift the protocol from energy-sapping proof-of-work to faster, more environmentally friendly proof-of-stake.\nOther major altcoins were mixed with AVAX and SHIB slightly lower but ATOM rising more than 7%.\nMajor U.S. indexes broke a three-day skid, albeit not by much, with the tech-focused Nasdaq, S&P 500, which has a strong tech component, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) all rising a few ticks of a percentage point.\nMarkets have been running in place this week until Powell offers some hoped-for hint about the pace of the Fed\'s next interest rate hike. Minutes from last month\'s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting have suggested that the bank will approve a third consecutive 75-basis point rate hike, although most indicators lately point to an economy slowing but not headed for recession – moderate enough to merit a dovish touch likely to please markets.\n"Like wider markets, cryptocurrency has been spooked by comments from the Fed, which has indicated that there will be no letup in 75 basis point rate hikes in the near future," Rust noted.\nOther observers are hoping that Powell will bring clarity to the current disconnect between investors perceptions and economic realities. “I’m looking forward to seeing if Powell can straighten the market out,” David Wessel, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution and a former Wall Street Journal economics editor,toldCoinDesk\'s Helene Braun. “At a time when the Fed’s public forecast is at odds with the market, he knows that this is his chance to steer the markets.”\n[{"Asset": "Cosmos", "Ticker": "ATOM", "Returns": "+7.8%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Gala", "Ticker": "GALA", "Returns": "+3.0%", "DACS Sector": "Entertainment"}, {"Asset": "Loopring", "Ticker": "LRC", "Returns": "+1.8%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}]\n[{"Asset": "Terra", "Ticker": "LUNA", "Returns": "\\u22122.3%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Shiba In **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [21027.29, 20735.48, 20280.63, 20104.02, 19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21, 20860.45, 19970.56, 19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06, 21534.12, 21398.91, 21528.09, 21395.02] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Since Coinbase is huge in North America, you can tell that they want to leave a lasting mark on other parts of the world as well. They have already cemented their spot as one of the best crypto exchanges but they want to be considered the number one platform. With the crypto market growing, you should expect many uses to stand out. From investing to playing online casino Bitcoin games, you should have a good time by investing in Coinbase since you can gain assets from the platform. Now, let’s talk about why Coinbase has expanded into the European market. Europe is a bull market Coinbase is looking to pounce on the chance to expand into Europe. The vice president of business development Nana Murugesan and VP international policy Tom Duff Gordon released a statement regarding how they see Coinbase working out. They wrote, ‘At Coinbase, our mission is to promote economic freedom, and we believe the best way to do that is by increasing crypto adoption in the world. That is why international expansion is fundamentally mission-aligned and continues to be a company priority’. With what they have seen so far, Coinbase sees Europe as one of the biggest bull markets in the world. They want to invest in this market because they know people will gravitate towards them as the primary choice for an exchange. The MiCA has impacted Coinbase’s growth With the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation setting the most comprehensive framework for the crypto market in 27 countries in Europe, Coinbase’s potential will be huge because it will provide certainty for the crypto market which has been ignored by multiple entities in the past. Coinbase wants more growth worldwide While Coinbase has millions of users worldwide, they want to continue to expand their reach. Asia has many crypto users but they have their own exchanges. This will start in Europe which will be important to know because they can use it as a good reason to expand even more. They started in NA but with the move to Europe with MiCA, you should expect Asia to follow suit. Story continues The biggest markets in Asia that Coinbase can expand into Since Europe is a possible market that Coinbase will be looking to tap into, you should know that other countries in Asia can enter as well. This means that countries like Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines, and many more can be called the best markets for crypto assets. Coinbase will be a strong platform for those countries since they are quite useful for them when they look into the crypto market. Coinbase will continue to grow With how Coinbase is looking recently, you should know that the platform will keep growing. Europe is just another step for Coinbase because they have proven that they are one of the highest-quality platforms in the world. This is crucial to the experience because people want to use their cryptocurrencies more freely including investing and playing online casino Bitcoin games. Hopefully, people will not have any issues with Coinbase’s growth because this exchange has cemented its spot at the top moving forward.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/PotassiumEnjoyer', 'Good ways to earn interest on your holdings?', 102, '2022-08-25 00:02', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/www59f/good_ways_to_earn_interest_on_your_holdings/', 'Greetings, good peoples!

Bitcoin and Ether Remain in Their Recent Holding Patterns By James Rubin A day before Jerome Powell\'s long-awaiting address at the Federal Reserve\'s conclave in Wyoming, bitcoin idled in roughly the same place it has held for much of the week – comfortably above $21,000. The largest cryptocurrency by market value was recently trading at about $21,500, roughly flat over the past 24 hours as nervous investors continued their vigil for the U.S. central bank chair\'s comments Friday that might hint at the Fed\'s next interest rate hike. Several central bank governors talked to media outlets but offered few clues on whether the bank will continue its current hawkishness by approving another 75 basis point hike (which would likely send asset markets – crypto and traditional – spiraling) or ratchet back the rate to a more moderately aggressive 50 points. "People are going to be looking for some sort of dovish tilt and if we don\'t get it, it could be kind of ugly," said Matthew Tuttle, CEO and chief investment officer of exchange-traded fund provider Total Capital Management. Story continues Ether continued its recent pattern of outperforming bitcoin. The second-largest crypto in market capitalization was recently trading just below $1,700, up more than a percentage point over the same period. Other major altcoins were mixed, with popular meme coin SHIB and CVC each recently rising more than 6% but EOS and KNC off over 2% and 1%, respectively. Still, cryptocurrencies related to non-fungible tokens (NFT) and the metaverse have underperformed over the past week, a result of sagging sentiment about the NFT market. The Flow network’s FLOW token , which can be used to build NFTs and decentralized applications ( dapps ), slumped 20% during the past seven days. FLOW’s decline was the second largest during that period among 52 cryptocurrencies with a market cap over $1 billion, according to crypto data and analysis firm Messari. Other NFT and metaverse-related tokens that have sunk include AXS , GALA , MANA and GMT , which all fell between 14% and 20%. Equities Equity indexes closed higher after the U.S. Commerce Department released data showing that the economy contracted at a lower rate in the second quarter than preliminary estimates indicated. The tech-focused Nasdaq, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) all climbed at least one percent. Investors were also buoyed by a slight decline in jobless claims underscoring the continued resilience of the economy. Oanda senior market analyst Edward Moya called the most recent indicators "the perfect appetizer for Friday’s hawkish Fed Chair Powell speech." Moya added that "there is still a chance that this unbalanced economy will get a soft landing and that should prevent stocks from seeing severe downward pressure." In crypto industry news, Voyager Digital, the lender whose collapse into bankruptcy worsened this year’s crypto market crisis, is attracting takeover interest from some of the biggest players in the space including exchanges Binance and FTX, according to people familiar with the matter. And Sam Bankman-Fried\'s FTX Ventures denied a Bloomberg report Thursday that the venture capital arm of FTX and the VC operations of sister company Alameda Research would be merging. Total Capital\'s Tuttle warily noted that bitcoin\'s price remains "below all the major moving averages." "It looks like a bear flag," he said. "We\'re seeing "some support around that 20,800 level. If the market doesn\'t hear what it wants to hear on Friday, that\'s where crypto heads. If the market hears what it wants to hear, we\'re moving back up."

Now, miners may have found a different way to offset some of their losses – selling power back to the grid. Crypto miners consume tremendous amounts of energy to mine their digital assets, and power cost is the main variable to their profit margins. With the price of bitcoin down more than 50% this year and power costs rising, their margins have shrunk significantly. However, some miners are now actually getting paid to shut down operations and release electricity capacity back to the grid during peak demand periods, while lowering their power cost. “The ability for some mining companies to either generate power to sell to the grid or perform demand-response gives them an additional profitability option,” said Ethan Vera, chief operating office of the full-stack bitcoin (BTC) mining software and services provider Luxor Tech. Riot and Mawson Most recently, one of the largest bitcoin miners, Riot Blockchain (RIOT), said it earned an estimated $9.5 million in power credits by shuttering its mining operations in Texas during an extreme heat wave. The miner said it lowered its power cost significantly using this strategy. Another bitcoin miner, Mawson Infrastructure (MIGI), said it generated $1.8 million in unaudited revenue by engaging in similar types of strategy as Riot. “When energy prices are low, Mawson engages in bitcoin mining and generates revenue by selling self-mined bitcoin daily, as it has from inception,” the miner said in a statement . “When energy prices are high, and where available, Mawson engages in Energy Demand Response Programs , receiving revenue and reducing overall energy costs,” it added. One caveat to this strategy is that a miner must have a fixed-price purchasing power agreement, rather than buying electricity in the spot market. For example, Argo Blockchain (ARBK) said that unlike Riot, it wasn’t able to participate in demand response in Texas as it has been paying spot market prices , which have been higher in recent months. However, miners who can take advantage of this strategy during summer\'s heat, could benefit significantly even as the bear market continues. “In the current environment mining economics have fallen, while energy prices have soared, making it an opportune time for these miners to sell power to the grid. In many cases miners can make over double per kWh by selling power rather than mining,” Luxor’s Vera said.

Investor angst returned ahead of the NASDAQ futures open. Technical indicators are bearish, with bitcoin at above the 50-day EMA. On Sunday, bitcoin ( BTC ) fell by 2.06%. Reversing a 1.20% gain from Saturday, bitcoin ended the week up 2.33% to $21,032. A bullish start to the day saw bitcoin rise to a high of $21,856 before hitting reverse. Bitcoin broke through the First Major Resistance Level at $21,740 before sliding to a late low of $20,971. The reversal saw bitcoin fall through the First Major Support Level at $21,055 to end the week at $21,032. Bitcoin saw the effects of Friday’s NASDAQ 100 rally wane, with investors cautious ahead of the Monday open. Last week, the correlation between the NASDAQ 100 and bitcoin strengthened, and bitcoin will likely continue to track the NASDAQ near term. For now, the headwinds for bitcoin and the NASDAQ remain aligned. At the time of writing, the NASDAQ 100 Mini was down 47.5 points. Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Falls Back in Response to Sunday Moves This morning, the Fear & Greed Index fell from 14/100 to 12/100. Fear & Greed 270622 Sitting deep in the “Extreme Fear” zone, the latest pullback brings sub-10/100 and the June 19 low of 6/100 into play. Investors will be looking for an upswing towards 25/100 and a move into the “Fear Zone” to suggest a bitcoin bottoming out. The Index last visited the “Fear Zone” on May 5. Bitcoin (BTC) Price Action At the time of writing, BTC was down 0.10% to $21,010. A mixed start to the day saw BTC rise to an early high of $21,078 before falling to a low of $20,975. BTC left the Support and Resistance Levels untested early on. BTCUSD 270622 Daily Chart Technical Indicators A BTC move through the $21,280 pivot would bring the First Major Resistance Level at $21,605 and the Sunday high of $21,856 into play. BTC would need plenty of support to break out from $21,500. An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $22,174 and resistance at $22,500. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $23,056. Story continues Failure to move through the pivot would bring the First Major Support Level at $20,716 into play. In case of another extended sell-off, bitcoin could test the Second Major Support Level at $20,403 and support at $20,000. The Third Major Support Level sits at $19,516. BTCUSD 270622 Hourly Chart Looking at the EMAs and the 4-hourly candlestick chart (below), it was a bearish signal. This morning, bitcoin sat below the 50-day EMA, currently at $21,219. The 50-day EMA fell back from the 100-day EMA. The 100-day EMA eased back from the 100-day EMA, bitcoin price negative. A return to $22,000 would bring the 100-day EMA, currently at $22,520, into play. However, the fall through the 50-day EMA brings the Major Support Levels into play.

The broker downgraded the stock to underperform from hold with an unchanged price target of $180. MSTR shares fell 7% in pre-market trading. MicroStrategy is a “tale of two cities” – bitcoin (BTC) and the core business intelligence (BI) business, Jefferies said. The company now holds 129,200 BTC, and the investment is generating losses due to the fall in the bitcoin price. Bitcoin now makes up 52% of the company's enterprise value (EV) at $2.8 billion, which translates to a $1 billion unrealized loss on a $3.97 billion investment. The downgrade is due to three main factors, the note said. It will be harder to execute large-scale BI deployments in the near term due to the tougher macro environment, execution surrounding the cloud transition has been “subpar” leading to a decline in billings growth and the stock trades at a premium relative to comparable companies. For the second quarter, the broker forecasts total revenue growth of 4% (more than the analyst consensus of 3%), non-GAAP operating margins of 13.6%, compared with consensus at 15.5% and a total billings decline of 6% compared with expectations of 6% growth. MicroStrategy has been a “visionary” on BTC and has established itself as a “thought leader” in the industry, the note said, adding that management has increased leverage on its balance sheet and issued new shares for more bitcoin investment. Management is expected to provide an update on the company’s intent to continue to invest in BTC, the note added.

Is canceling student debt inflationary? First off, the U.S. government isn’t paying off everyone's student loans. What the Biden administration announced was that people who both hold federal government student loans and earn less than $125,000 a year will have either $10,000 or $20,000 of their student loan balance forgiven. There are nitty-gritty details (which you can get by listening to this NASFAA podcast ), but the main question we want to answer is if this is inflationary or not. Here’s an argument that it will be: Canceling student loan debt will put money in the pockets of Americans and those Americans will use that money to buy more immediately. The immediate consumption bump will meaningfully contribute to more inflation. Here’s an argument that it will not be : Canceling student loan debt will leave money in the pockets of Americans and those Americans will use that money to consume more gradually over the course of their lives. The gradual consumption bump won’t meaningfully contribute to more inflation. Story continues I very much like the argument that canceling student debt won’t be immediately inflationary. Yes, the coronavirus pandemic stimulus checks were, but there is an important psychological difference between handing someone a $3,200 check and handing them an official letter saying they owe $10,000 less on an outstanding loan. Does student debt cancellation take pressure off Jerome Powell? No, probably not. Probably the opposite. While the White House introduced a program that isn’t obviously inflationary on the surface, the Federal Reserve chair is still digging deep for his Volcker (without going full Volcker ) moment. When Powell faced central bankers, economists and the American people Friday morning with his prepared remarks in Jackson, Wyoming, he said that “history cautions against prematurely loosening policy,” which basically means, “We’re going to stay the course because if we change course again, you’re really not going to believe us anymore.” Powell (and the Fed) is also digging deep for credibility. CoinDesk’s Adam B. Levine , host of the ”Markets Daily” podcast , made one of the best arguments for that in last week’s episode where he said : “... [H]istory suggests that the [Fed’s] decision [on interest rates] will remain far below the [necessary] interest rate which is required to deal with inflation. For much of the 1970s and 1980s, the last time we saw comparable price inflation, the rate that the Fed set was somewhere between 8% [and] 20%, many times higher than what the Fed is suggesting now. So while central banks and markets will play games with each other, it may all be for show to look serious about the problem when the proposed solution doesn’t really have a chance to solve anything.” What Adam Levine is using to make that assertion is the Taylor rule , a rule of thumb used by central banks to set interest rates at a level that will effectively combat inflation. By his estimation, the Taylor rule suggests that rates need to be >9% to even begin to deal with the behavioral changes long-term rising inflation leads to. I tend to agree with Levine and don’t think that the markets believe policymakers anymore. Powell is stuck between a rock and a hard place (at least he’s stuck between some really nice looking rocks in Jackson Hole). Is war inflationary? Pozsar makes it clear in the aforementioned research note that he thinks so. I think the note is worth reading in full, but here is a summary in case you don’t read it: Supply is outpacing demand because we went from a world where a) cheap immigrant labor in the U.S., b) cheap goods from China and c) cheap Russian gas propped up low inflation to a world where a) nativist immigration policies drove wage pressures in the U.S., b) China’s zero-COVID-19 policy hurt the flow of cheap goods and c) a Russian war in Ukraine has led to skyrocketing gas prices in Europe prop up high inflation. Here’s the punctuating quote: “Welcome to the war economy … … where heads of state matter more than heads of central banks.” Can bitcoin save us? OK – we didn’t solve inflation last week, so now onto crypto’s preeminent inflation hedge : bitcoin. With inflationary forces still out there, investors are thinking about how best to protect themselves. Is bitcoin a way to do that? I’m not sure. From a market perspective, no, not at all. In recent memory, bitcoin has been correlated with stocks . Stocks aren’t supposed to be inflation hedges; less-risky things like gold and commodities are. So bitcoin’s price following (or leading) stocks makes bitcoin not really appear like an inflation hedge. There are two threads worth following here. First, maybe inflation isn’t about the price of goods increasing, it’s about currency debasement. Some variation of this chart is pretty popular in bitcoin circles: Global M2 and bitcoin’s price (@mrblonde_macro) As Global M2 – the amount of money in circulation – changes year over year, it appears that bitcoin’s market value follows. In short, as economies introduce money into circulation, bitcoin’s price goes up because the additional money in circulation dilutes the rest of the existing money in circulation. So this supports the idea that bitcoin is a hedge against currency debasement (a fancy way to describe the dilution of money in circulation). I’m not sure the data strongly supports this idea. Sure, there’s a visual relationship in the previous chart, but the rolling 30-month correlation coefficient between U.S. M2 and bitcoin’s value moves from negative to slightly positive (see the two following charts). Statistically, this doesn’t really tell you anything. Maybe the move is due to bitcoin maturing over time as it approaches its final resting place as an inflation hedge? I know the U.S. doesn’t stand in for the entire world economy, but still. Year-over-year change of U.S. M2 and bitcoin market capitalization (FRED, TradingView) 30-month rolling correlation between M2 and Bitcoin (FRED, TradingView) Second, and more concretely, if you agree that we are in a war economy “where heads of state matter more than heads of central banks,” bitcoin is probably investable simply because it is separate from the “heads of state.” I’m not saying bitcoin’s price is immune to the acts of heads of state, but I am saying that bitcoin isn’t issued by any country and that the broader network a) doesn’t need any particular country and b) is resilient enough to buck China banning it . So, in the event that bitcoin doesn’t behave as an inflation hedge, there might be something to be said for it acting as a way to bet on the separation of money and state.", "For the first week in a while, the non-crypto world was louder than the crypto world.

With technology reaching new heights everyday, there is a financial product for everything. But in spite of all the progress, there is still a lot needed to be done in the crypto sector. Consider an investment banker who trades stocks on a conventional market. For any financial need, there is a product or service available. He uses ETFs. But, as a crypto enthusiast, he discovers that he needs to do a significant amount of work there himself. Having to do things that he doesn't do himself with his stocks. One such investment banker, who calls himself ‘Moby’ in crypto space, came up with the idea of a crypto brokering platform that would return 633% APY on a safe investment in crypto space, and named it Golddoge Sachs. Golddoge Sachs Principle and Working Users buy a single Golddoge Sachs ($GDS) token, and eventually the purchases build up the investment pot that further buys into 14 blue chips in cryptocurrency including the absolute major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, etc. With the continuous trading volume, the investment pot keeps building up. Over time, this investment earns a yield as the crypto market rises. This yield is periodically siphoned off and paid out to holders through buybacks in $GDS. Thus, the token replicates the yield. If the token grows because the demand increases, this also increases the token value, creating a simple yet efficient leverage effect. The token launches with the blue chip ETF and is initially exclusively available on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP20). But Moby claims that additional chains and more types of ETFs are planned, so there is something for everyone. Users simply need a wallet, similar to the stock market, and no accounts are required. Story continues Golddoge Ecosystem and Tokenomics Golddoge Sachs takes the path of secure success based on broad diversification, knowledge and DCA. Golddoge Sachs protects users’ investments in following ways: The investment pot acts as a hedge against financial losses. Anti-swing trading token design Anti-bot taxation Anti-sniper launch conditions Bot protection in the community Max transaction anti-dump rules Max wallet anti-whale rules Tokenomics Golddoge Sachs ($GDS) has a 15% tax on Buy and Sell transactions which is distributed in the following way: 2% goes to the development 3% goes to the marketing 10% goes to the investment pot The investment pot makes investments into the 14 top-performing cryptocurrencies, and users receive a return on gains at the end of the month. But, as the investment uses a leverage effect, users can expect to receive 3 times more than if they invested by themselves. Investing with Golddoge Sachs surpasses individual investing in any circumstance since the success of their investments for customers is further multiplied by the success of their own chart performance. To get more information about Golddoge Sachs, visit the project's official website or read the official whitepaper . About Golddoge Sachs Golddoge Sachs is a crypto ETF that lets users invest in top 14 cryptocurrencies using $GDS token. With the Golddoge Sachs Token, users receive shares in a regularly generated return based on a first-class portfolio built on the top crypto assets. Based only on the performance of the cryptocurrency market and Golddoge Sachs' integrated leverage, the conservative estimate for the yearly returns is 600% APY.

It didn’t go well. \n> \n> Need advice on inheritance, arbitrage, family, etc. Please, I am becoming desperate.\n> \n> The Bitcoin boom has been wonderful for some people, obviously, but I am really struggling. \n> \n> Last year my father passed away (my mother passed away from cancer many years ago), and my sister and I were left with a large inheritance. I am 23 and my sister is only 17 (parents had us when they were somewhat older. The inheritance was placed entirely in my control to be split between my sister and I. He did not want her to have access to the money until she turned 21. I am tasked with assisting her with college payments, etc. I chose to liquidate the majority of the assets and was left with around $750,000. I am bitter about this because I was ripped off by a shifty individual taking advantage of my ignorance on some things. I should have gotten much more than I did.\n> \n> \n> I discovered Bitcoin a few years ago. I today greatly regret that the moment I liquidated the inheritance I didn\'t place the entirety of it into Bitcoin. With Bitcoin on the verge of making it very, very big I began performing arbitrage six months ago. The rising adoption has created volatility which makes it very good for arbitrage. I know of people that have made A LOT of money doing this, but I have now lost A LOT of money.\n> \n> I am consistently misjudging the movement of the markets. I buy in and sell, not holding any long term positions. On the 19th, I bought 250 coins at $800; it was quickly rising and I was worried I would not be able to buy in at that price ever again. Immediately after my purchase it began tanking. I tried to hold my position hoping it was just temporary and would return to $800 and increase from there. After hitting around $600 it began to increase again, I viewed this as reaffirming my projection. It rose again to around $700. I held my position into the 20th, it dropped to $500 and that was my sell point hoping to minimize my losses. I lost $75,000 in an almost 24/hr period. This was my fastest and almost largest single trade loss. If I had continued to hold I would be able to sell right now with minimal losses.\n\n> I have "made" money on trades, but overall the losses have kept me in the red. As of today, over the past 7 months I have lost a total of $410,000. The inheritance was supposed to be split between my younger sister and I, giving us each $375,00 + half of the house (not worth much, rural area, etc). However, I don\'t have a legal obligation to provide her with half of the money, that was a verbal contract between my father and I, the in-writing legal stuff allocates it all to me. I made the mistake of telling her that I invested the money in Bitcoin; she has read the news etc on it, so she is under the assumption that there is a lot more money than there actually is. Regardless, I have already paid her first year of college tuition in cash anyway, this was around $30,000. I also bought her a used car to take to college ($5,000). We later found out they don\'t want freshman to have cars?? So we might sell it and I can give her that money. Ultimately, in addition to other living expenses, bills, car, etc I have around $280,000 left which is currently all liquid. Now, if you took the time to read all of that, thank you, sorry it was so long. What I am looking for is advice on how to trade. How can I guarantee that I earn high returns? What are good resources on how to trade Bitcoin? Are there any good books to read on trading? General information I may be missing?\n\n> I know I can earn this money back, I just need to figure out how. If there is an experienced trader out there that is in need for funding I am willing to work out a deal where we can work together on this. I need to see a proven track record of success though. Thanks for your time. I know a lot of people are going to respond negatively to me, I know I fucked up. I really, really, need advice though so please don\'t downvote me just because I am an idiot.\n>', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/wzitk3/scumbag_lost_400_000_of_inheritance_money_and_was/', 'wzitk3', [['u/BobWalsch', 15, '2022-08-28 03:19', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/wzitk3/scumbag_lost_400_000_of_inheritance_money_and_was/im2p8e3/', ">How can I guarantee that I earn high returns? \n\n>I know I can earn this money back, I just need to figure out how.\n\n \n~~Wake the frack up /u/BestCelery263 you have absolutely NO IDEA what you are doing!

Ether, the second-largest crypto in market value, was recently changing hands at roughly $1,430, down more than 4% as investors continued to chew over U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell\'s vow to continue the monetary hawkishness the Fed adopted earlier this year.\nThat news disappointed some investors hoping for signs of Fed confidence that its steps the last few months were taming inflation and that it might back away from its recent diet of 75 basis point interest rate hikes.\n"The macroeconomic uncertainties continued to weigh on the price of BTC, and while the [Personal Consumption Expenditures] data came in negative (giving market hopes that the Fed could take a less aggressive stance moving forward), [the] Fed chair\'s talk on Friday dashed those hopes as he cautioned against premature policy loosening," Joe DiPasquale of crypto asset manager BitBull Capital wrote to CoinDesk. "The market has reacted negatively to those comments and we\'re seeing bitcoin testing the $20,000 support."\nMost other major cryptos were recently in the red, with AVAX and ATOM down more than 9% and 6%, respectively. XMR rose about a percentage point.\nOn Friday, bitcoin fell precipitously from the $21,000 perch it held throughout the working week as Powell noted that inflation remains a serious threat. He said that "reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth" that would create "softer labor markets," among other impacts.\nThe ongoing strength of the job market has suggested repeatedly that the economy has not fallen into recession. The 3.5% unemployment rate is the lowest level since February 2020. "While higher interest rates, slower growth and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses," Powell said.\n“We are moving our policy stance purposefully to a level that will be sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2%,” Powell said.\nEquities and crypto news\nCryptos in the late week fall tracked equity markets, which closed substantially lower on Friday, with the tech-focused Nasdaq and S&P 500 plunging nearly 4% and 3.3%, respectively.\nIn recent crypto industry news :\nJapanis preparingto review existing corporate crypto tax rates in an effort to entice startups to remain in the country, local news outlet Yomiurireported. Japan\'s financial services agency (FSA) and the ministry of economy, trade and industry are considering a tax reform proposal for 2023 that could exempt crypto startups that issue their own tokens from paying taxes on unrealized gains.\nOver the weekend, CoinDeskreportedthat Grayscale Investments LLC has been fielding questions from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the firm’s “securities law analysis” of tokens in some of its less-popular crypto trusts. The inquiry, which Grayscale disclosed in little-noticed filings made in June and mid-August, casts a shadow over the trusts’ viability at a time when the world’s largest digital asset manager is already dealing with a precipitous decline in its assets’ value due to the ongoing crypto winter.\nGrayscale Investments is a digital asset management firm owned by Digital Currency Group, which also owns CoinDesk.\nBitBull\'s DiPasquale wrote that "Monday\'s opening for equities will be key, as any more downside there could push BTC toward the recent lows."\n"We will be watching for the market\'s reactions to new lows and aiming to accumulate BTC between $20,000 and $15,000," he wrote.\nThere are no gainers in CoinDesk 20 today.\n[{"Asset": "Avalanche", "Ticker": "AVAX", "Returns": "\\u22129.5%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platfor **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [19784.73, 19269.37, 19242.26, 19297.08, 20231.26, 20190.12, 20548.25, 21637.59, 21731.12, 21592.21, 20860.45, 19970.56, 19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06, 21534.12, 21398.91, 21528.09, 21395.02, 21600.90, 20260.02, 20041.74, 19616.81] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

By 2028, it’s projected to reach $300 billion. Given the size of the market and its growth potential, it’s no wonder investors are interested in knowing about the best telehealth stocks to buy. The ETF tracks the performance of the Solactive Telemedicine & Digital Health Index, a collection of stocks involved in telemedicine, healthcare analytics, connected healthcare devices, and administrative digitization.

Source: Piotr Swat / Shutterstock Cigna (NYSE: CI ) is not one of EDOC’s 39 holdings. However, it should be due to its $2 billion acquisition of MDLive in April 2021. The insurance and healthcare solutions provider first invested in telehealth provider MDLive in 2018. According to Page 94 of its 2021 10-K, Cigna valued its initial investment at $55 million. Cigna’s Evernorth division completed the acquisition . The division’s chief operating officer had this to say about MDLive: “By bringing MDLIVE into Evernorth, we have a highly complementary platform that will rapidly expand our capabilities to deliver greater affordability, predictability and simplicity for our customers and clients,” Fierce Healthcare reported Palmer’s comments in April 2021. In Q1 2022, Evernorth generated $33.6 billion in revenue and $1.3 billion in adjusted pre-tax operating income. They were 10% higher than Q1 2021. Cigna expects Evernorth to generate $6.1 billion in adjusted pre-tax operating income for 2022. That’s almost 87% overall. Story continues Cigna is a much safer way to play telehealth if you’re a risk-averse investor. Doximity (DOCS) The website for Doximity (DOCS) displayed on a smartphone screen. Source: Wirestock Creators / Shutterstock.com Doximity (NYSE: DOCS ) isn’t a telehealth provider, but I included it because it’s a very profitable business and one of the holdings in EDOC. Known as “LinkedIn for Doctors,” more than 80% of physicians use its communications platform. The company’s been a public company for over a year. It went public in June 2021 at $26 a share . Despite its share price declining 62% from its September 2021 52-week high of $107.79, it is still up 58% from its IPO. In fiscal 2022, Doximity’s revenue was $343.5 million , 66% higher than a year earlier. On the bottom line, it earned 82 cents on a non-GAAP basis, 215% higher than 2021. For all of 2023, it expects to grow revenue by 33%. Its guidance for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is $194 million, 29% higher than in 2021. The 13 analysts covering Doximity give it an “overweight” rating and an average target price of $47.25. Best Telehealth Stocks: Amwell (AMWL) The logo for American Well (AMWL) displayed on a smartphone screen. The smartphone rests on top of a keyboard. Source: Stephanie L Sanchez / Shutterstock.com Amwell (NYSE: AMWL ) rebranded its business in March 2020. The Boston-based telehealth provider used to be known as American Well. It is the smallest business of my three stock picks, with a $1.2 billion market capitalization. The company’s May 2022 presentation projects that it will grow revenues by 20% annually through 2025. Like many telehealth businesses, it’s not yet profitable. It expects to become profitable in the second half of 2025. That’s a big reason its share price is in penny stock territory. Its stock is down more than 60% in the past year. Amwell went public in September 2020, selling 41.2 million shares at $18, well above its pre-IPO pricing of $14 to $16. Its stock closed its first day of trading up 28%. Since the beginning of 2021, it’s been all downhill. Why invest? In May, the company launched the Amwell Comprehensive Behavioral Health Program. It provides payers and providers with an integrated healthcare solution that includes virtual therapy, psychiatry, and coaching. Given all the mass shootings in the U.S. in 2022, personalized digital mental health is needed now more than ever. None of the 15 analysts covering AMWL rate it a “sell” or “underweight.” The average target price is $4.95. Amwell is the riskiest of the three.

I remember in October when Bitcoin was peaking its head above the all time high and instead of going higher we went sideways for a whole month in anxiety. Then we dropped, and spent the entire first quarter bouncing around the 30-40k range. It was exhausting, and I was only hoping for it to finally rip the band-aid off and go whichever direction it was going to go. I looked back and wished I was around to buy back in the bear markets of 2018-2019 instead of dealing with higher valuations and anxiety. It's easy in hindsight, but I wished I could\n\nAnd now I feel like that opportunity is in my hands. We've dropped, and we can go much, much lower than this.

Bitcoin Returns to Its $20K Perch By James Rubin After taking a short Sunday dive, bitcoin returned to its new support level above $20,000. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently trading at about $21,250, up about 3% over the past 24 hours. BTC\'s resilience offered a sliver of reinforcement for investors who thought the crypto\'s plunge to $19,500 was a precursor to a bigger drop stemming from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell\'s vow to continue the U.S. central banks monetary hawkishness. "Macro [economics] has been in the driver\'s seat all year, and this week and after Jackson Hole, the market has been reminded that the same type of inflationary headwinds with strong job markets remain," Luke Farrell, a cryptocurrency trader for crypto grading firm GSR, told CoinDesk TV. "You\'re seeing a little bit of a reassessment of the optimism that came after the CPI print last month and a bit of oversold conditions that started in June." Ether returned to its pattern of outperforming bitcoin, recently rising more than 7%. ETH is now changing hands well above $1,500 after falling well below this psychologically important level over the weekend. The second largest crypto by market cap has been rising more sharply than BTC over the past couple of months as the Ethereum blockchain nears the Merge, which will change the protocol from proof-of-work to more energy efficient proof-of-stake. Story continues Other altcoins in the CoinDesk top 20 by market cap were in the green, most of them firmly so, with ATOM and LRC recently jumping 12% and 8%, respectively. AVAX rose more than 5%, regaining ground it lost after a self-described "whistleblower" website on Sunday accused Ava Labs, the company behind the Avalanche, the layer 1 blockchain, of paying lawyers to hurt competitors and keep regulators at bay. On Monday, Ava Labs CEO Emin Gün Sirer denied the company has been involved in any behind-the-scenes smear campaign. Equity markets pointed down ,with the tech-focused Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes off 1% and 0.7%, respectively. U.S. Treasury yields rose as nervous investors sold off government bonds. On Tuesday, the Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence index, a widely watched measure of sentiment about the economy. The group\'s last report in July found confidence waning, albeit at a more moderate pace than in June when inflation hit 9.1%. In its weekly fund flows report, CoinShares noted a third consecutive week of outflows totaling $46 million. The report said that $29 million in bitcoin outflows made up the largest portion of this sum.

According toa report by Arcane Research, the Lightning Network in particular has developed a diverse ecosystem of over 100 apps across at least 20 categories. Earlier this year, Lightning’s user base shot through the roof when Block (SQ) integrated Lightning into its popular Cash App, whichhas over 70 million users. Just a few months before that, in September 2021, Bitcoin marketplace Paxful had integrated Lightning into its wallet and El Salvador’s government had launched the Lighting-compatible Chivo bitcoin (BTC) wallet. Paxful has a user base of roughly 7 million and Chivo is used by 3 million to 4 million Salvadorans (although Chivo usage hasnoticeably droppedsince the wallet’s launch). You’re readingCrypto Long & Short, our weekly newsletter featuring insights, news and analysis for the professional investor.Sign up hereto get it in your inbox every Sunday. Arcane Research suggests these three events catapulted the Lightning user base from a modest 100,000 users to over 80 million potential users in a matter of months. It’s important to note that many of these potential users only have access to Lightning but don’t necessarily use it. Nevertheless, payment volume subsequently increased by 410% between the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. Read more:Block’s Cash App Is Finally Integrating the Lightning Network As of this writing, the Lightning Network’s capacity – the total amount of bitcoin in the network – has reached an all-time high of 4,351 BTC, equivalent to almost $100 million. Thelist of exchanges that have integrated Lightningis steadily growing, with Kraken, Okcoin and OKEx being the most recent additions. According toBitcoin Visuals, the number of nodes at the end of July 2021 was around 13,391. That figure has increased by roughly 27% to almost 17,000 nodes. (The actual node count will always be higher as there is a significant number of private nodes that are not included in public data.) These increases in capacity, exchange integration and node count all point toward increased user adoption. A recent tweet sparked a conversation about the number of apps being developed on top of Bitcoin and Lightning and how that compares with developer work on other chains. How does Bitcoin compare with Ethereum and how does Lightning compare with Ethereum’s largest layer 2 scaling system Polygon?A previous CoinDesk articleanalyzed numbers from venture firm Electric Capital’s 2021 developerreport. The report estimates that Bitcoin has less than 700 monthly active developers while Ethereum has over 4,000. This is a huge difference, especially considering Bitcoin currently has a market capitalization of around $440 billion while Ethereum’s market capitalization sits at about $196 billion. The difference in public ownership of the two cryptocurrencies is even greater.Crypto.com, a popular cryptocurrency exchange,puts the number of bitcoin ownersat approximately 176 million and the number of ether (ETH) owners at roughly 23 million. Read more:What’s the Healthiest Chart in Crypto? The Developer Count Similar disparities can be seen at the layer 2 level. Polygonclaimsto have 8,000 monthly active developer teams and 19,000 decentralized applications (dapps) running on its mainnet and testnet (Polygon’s live and testing environments, respectively). These numbers dwarf the 100 or so apps in the Lightning ecosystem. Based on these metrics, one might erroneously conclude that Ethereum and Polygon are healthier ecosystems than Bitcoin and Lightning. However, a closer look reveals that a direct comparison may not be possible. First, the Bitcoin blockchain was designed to make bitcoin (the cryptocurrency) its primary product. In fact, the Bitcoin and Lightning ecosystems are almost exclusively focused on money and payments. Ethereum, on the other hand, was primarily designed to facilitate dapp creation. Therefore, it only makes sense to have more developers building apps on Ethereum than on Bitcoin. Second, both Ethereum and Polygon are token-focused platforms.Initial coin offerings(ICO),decentralized finance(DeFi) andnon-fungible tokens(NFT) are all products of the token economy. Arcane Research suggests that token economies tend to attract more investors and developers. However, Arcane also highlighted the recent increase in Lightning-focused funding. It will be interesting to see whether investor capital shifts towards Bitcoin and Lightning giventhe recent implosion of prominent DeFi platforms. Arcane Research created an infographic showing a vast collection of apps that have been built in the Lightning ecosystem. Here are some highlights from that collection: Phoenixis a self-custody Lightning-enabled bitcoin wallet available to both Android and iOS users. ACINQ, the company behind Phoenix, is a French Bitcoin scaling firm that has been around since 2014. The company also created the popularEclair Mobilewallet, which isone of the first mobile Lightning wallets ever developed. ACINQ has since discontinued Eclair Mobile and recommends Phoenix as a replacement. Other notable wallets includeBlueWallet,BreezandElectrum. Terminalhelps Lightning node operators manage their nodes. Lightning infrastructure firmLightning Labs, creators of Terminal, recently unveiledAutoloop– an enhancement that automates Terminal’s liquidity management functionality. Liquidity on the Lightning Network refers to how easily bitcoin moves between network participants. To maximize liquidity, node operators will optimize their nodes differently based on each operator’s primary use case (e.g., sending vs. receiving payments). Autoloop automates this optimization process. Voltage,GreenlightandBitnoderprovide managed node operations. If a person or company wants to run a Bitcoin or Lightning node (or both), they can simply outsource that entire function to one of these firms for a fee. Blockdaemonalso provides node-as-a-service solutions but is not Bitcoin-exclusive. Read more:What Are Bitcoin Nodes and Why Do We Need Them? FountainandLightning.videopay content creators for their work. Fountain is a Lightning-powered podcasting platform that pays both hosts and listeners for performing value-adding activities. Hosts get rewarded by listeners for creating quality podcasts while listeners get paid by hosts for listening to and sharing podcast episodes. Lightning.video, for example, allows users to create video content behind “micro paywalls” – restricted access that can be unlocked by micropayments as low as a few satoshis (one satoshi = one hundred millionth of a bitcoin). THNDR Gamesis a mobile app that offers bitcoin rewards to gamers.

Told her definitely not, sounds like a scam, so she told the dude that she wasn’t able to do bitcoin, and wouldn’t you know it, he told her to go get some gift cards. Soon as I heard that I knew something was up, he said he also takes Zelle. There’s another red flag. I tried to talk to her but she is dead set on getting this “monkey”. So She went out got the gift card and is going to give him the code. He told her that once he gets the money he will personally come and bring the monkey and that’s when she will pay him the rest. Well his TikTok looks a little sketchy and he has a website. I have no idea how much monkeys cost but a chimp at 4 grand doesn’t sound right.

Most Read from Bloomberg VW Billionaire Clan Plotted CEO Ouster as He Was on US Trip World’s Key Workers Threaten to Hit Economy Where It Will Hurt Tesla’s Bitcoin Dump Leaves Accounting Mystery in Its Wake Russian Odesa Missile Strike Tests Ukraine Grain Export Deal Fed to Inflict More Pain on Economy as It Readies Big Rate Hike The world’s largest contract chipmaker is marketing a two-part offering, with initial price guidance set at 150 basis points above US Treasuries for the five-year tranche and 200 bps for the 10-year portion, according to people familiar with the deal who requested anonymity discussing a private matter. The sale is attracting attention after the firm’s major client Apple Inc. announced plans to slow hiring and spending growth next year to cope with a potential economic downturn. TSMC also warned last week about delaying capital expenditure, adding that costs for planned construction of overseas plants have proven very high. The offering also breathes some life back into a sleepy Asian credit market, following a series of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes that have pushed up borrowing costs significantly. The initial price guidance on the upcoming bond, which follows the firm’s $3.5 billion four-part note in April, translates into yields at least 50 bps above those implied on TSMC’s comparable existing dollar notes, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. The chipmaker’s Aa3 credit rating is constrained by the capital-intensive and cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, Moody’s Investors Service said in a report. TSMC has to incur significant capital expenditure to fund continuous technological development and meet rising demand from existing and new customers, it added. TSMC has said an envisioned $12 billion plant in Arizona may cost more than originally anticipated. In addition, chipmakers around the world are grappling with soaring costs for raw materials and shipping because of the war in Ukraine and lingering bottlenecks in global supply chains. Story continues The chip industry continues to enjoy fast growth, although it would be very volatile as it’s extremely cyclical, according to Ting Meng, senior Asia credit strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. “TSMC can better weather the industry cycle given its dominant position and it continues to enlarge market share,” Meng wrote in a note.

BTC has fallen more than 13% in August and nearly 20% since the middle of the month when a surge steeped in the false hopes of a return to more moderate monetary policy (since dashed by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in Jackson Hole, Wyoming) sent the price up near $25,000.\nThe Fed is "talking tough, tough, tough, which is why stocks and cryptos have been falling," Glen Goodman, crypto consultant at exchange eToro, told CoinDesk TV\'s "First Mover" program.\nEther was recently changing hands at roughly $1,550, also rising more than a percentage point from Tuesday. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has dropped 7% in August and more than 20% since mid-month euphoria about the Merge, the Ethereum blockchain\'s hotly anticipated protocol switch from a proof-of-work to more energy-efficient proof-of-stake sent spurred an ether price spike over $2,000.\nOther major altcoins spent much of the day in the green, with LUNA and MATIC both up more than 2% at one point. ADA was recently down 1.3%.\nEquities\nStocks that have correlated with cryptos for much of the year went a different way on Wednesday, falling for a fourth consecutive day. The tech-focused Nasdaq declined more than 0.5%, while the S&P 500, which has a strong tech component, and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tumbled 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively to cap their own devilish month. The Nasdaq and S&P each plunged more than 4% after emerging from bear market territory during August\'s first week.\nCentral bankers and others trying to make sense of the confoundingly resilient employment market received some logic in management services firm ADP\'s August employment report that showed private-sector employers adding an unexpectedly low 132,000 jobs during the month. The total was 60% below the average of the previous three months and offered one of the few recent signs that labor markets may soon be slowing. Still, the reading is unlikely to sway the Federal Reserve from its commitment to boost interest rates aggressively to tame inflation, even at the expense of a continued economic contraction that is frightening asset markets.\nIn crypto news, South Korean customs authorities on Tuesdayarrested16 people involved in illegal foreign exchange transactions, reported local outletNewsis. And as CoinDesk\'s Danny Nelsonreported, Credit Suisse held tens of millions of dollars in “digital assets” for its clients at the end of the second quarter, according to regulatory filings. The disclosure underscored how traditional financial institutions are inching toward crypto custody.\neToro\'s Goodman called September "the cruelest month for stock markets" going back to the 1950s, noting cryptos\' recent link to equity markets, and he also highlighted bearish sentiment on Twitter about the coming month. But summoning his inner contrarian, he added that he couldn\'t "help but think the opposite."\n"Looking at the stock and the crypto charts that are correlated to them, they look bearish, but it\'s not a predetermined conclusion that we will definitely get down to that level and then go even lower," he said. "There is hope that stocks and bonds, [and] cryptos could turn around."\n[{"Asset": "Terra", "Ticker": "LUNA", "Returns": "+2.8%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Ethereum", "Ticker": "ETH", "Returns": "+2.3%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Polygon", "Ticker": "MATIC", "Returns": "+2.3%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}]\n[{"Asset": "Cardano", "Ticker": "ADA", "Returns": "\\u22121.3%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Avalanche", "Ticker": "AVAX", "Returns": "\\u22120.9%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Loopring", "Ticker": "LRC", "Returns": "\\u22120.7%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}]\nIs USDN Like UST? No, Says Waves Founder Sasha Ivanov\nBy Shaurya Malwa\nWaves founder Sasha Ivanov dismissed criticism of the protocol’s recent decision to add the new SURF token as part of the basket of tokens that backs its USDN stablecoin, which some detractors say has “created a model similar to UST,” referring toTerra\'s algorithmic stablecoin.\nIvanov explained to CoinDesk over several Telegram messages on Wednesday that USDN’s model involves four tokens in its mechanics – WAVES, NSBT, USDN itself and SURF – with all of them supplying liquidity to, and helping USDN retain, its $1 peg.\n“UST was backed by nothing – LUNA [the token] was burned to create UST. It was never intended to be backed up by anything other than the algorithm,” Ivanov explained. “The opposite is true of USDN. WAVES tokens are held in a smart contract to collateralize USDN.”\nAlgorithmic stablecoins are backed by a basket of tokens and rely on smart contracts and arbitrage mechanisms to hold their peg to a chosen currency, usually U.S. dollars. In USDN’s case, users must lock in WAVES in Neutrino\'s smart contracts to mint USDN, while USDN redemptions have the opposite effect of destroying the stablecoin to unlock WAVES supply.\nWaves’ native USDN stablecoins fell to nearly 90 cents last week after a liquidity crisis caused the tokens to lose their intended peg with U.S. dollars, causing wider crypto market concerns.\nSasha Ivanov has previously raised these concerns. "We have to work on the algorithm. And what happens now is kind of inevitable, which is just a test of the whole system,” he said on CoinDesk TV’s “First Mover” program in June.\nUSDN\'s lost peg\nThe concerns resurfaced last week as USDN lost its peg, which concerned some analysts.\n“Even though all purchases made with this token add to USDN backing, the move created a model similar to UST by relying on a secondary token to support the stablecoin\'s peg by providing liquidity,” Iakov Levin, CEO of crypto yield platform Midas, explained in a message to CoinDesk.\nLevin further stated that market participants were likely removing liquidity from decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms ahead of the upcomingEthereum Mergeupgrade. “No one is keen on supporting the peg of another algorithmic stablecoin. This model potentially leads to dire consequences and extreme fragility of the peg,” he told CoinDesk in Telegram messages.\nIvanov, however, pinned last week’s USDN deppeging to Vires Finance, a lending platform built on Waves. The depeg has happened due to the repayment plan implemented by the community vote on Vires finance,” Ivanov said. “$1 million USDN is released daily in repayment to Vires depositors, and it seems that amount is too high to be sustainable for the peg of USDN.”\nVires previously faced scrutiny from market participants in April, when several Twitter handlesaccused the Waves team of manipulating the priceof its native token through the platform. Ivanov dismissed the allegations at the time, accusing Alameda Research of manipulating waves prices and running a hostile media campaign to trigger a panic selling.\nMeanwhile, the possibility of depegged stablecoins remains a worry among the crypto community, a part of which is plagued by fears of a UST-like repeat months after the Terra ecosystem crashed and wiped off some $28 billion in value from related applications.\n12:30 a.m. HKT/SGT(8:30 a.m. UTC):Jibun Bank manufacturing PMI(August)\n9:45 a.m. HKT/SGT(1:45 a.m.UTC): Caixin manufacturing PMI(August)\n8:30 p.m. HKT/SGT(12:30 p.m. UTC):U.S. continuing jobs claims(August 19)\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nHas Bitcoin Hit a Floor?

A few weeks ago, U.S. authorities hadcalled off theirrequest to extradite the Russian national from France. However, by calling off the extradition request Vinnik could be sent to Greece and later to the U.S, his lawyer had said at the time. At the time, Belot declined to explain the legal mechanism being used by U.S. authorities, only responding that "by withdrawing their request, the U.S. reactivated the Greece request." In 2020, Vinnik wasindictedby a California court on allegations of “computer intrusions and hacking incidents, ransomware scams, identity theft schemes, corrupt public officials and narcotics distribution rings.” Vinnik is known as an operator of BTC-e, one of the earliest bitcoin (BTC) exchanges, which waslinkedto the hack ofMt. Gox, the first bitcoin exchange, which never recovered after a theft of 744,408 BTC and had to shut down in 2014. Vinnik has always denied that he ran BTC-e,claiminghe only worked at the exchange. BTC-e, in turn, was shut down by U.S. authorities in 2017, its servers confiscated and Vinnik arrested in Greece, where he was on a beach with his family. Since then three countries have been competing to extradite Vinnik – the U.S., France and Russia – with all three presenting a different set of allegations. France prevailed in 2020, and Vinnik wassentencedto five years in prison by a French court. The sentence wasupheldlast summer. UPDATE (Aug 5, 09:32 UTC): Updates headline and lede with confirmation.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/ControlPlusZ', "Let's have a serious conversation about Cathy Woods - what the ARK investment is (and is not).", 16, '2022-09-01 00:38', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/shroomstocks/comments/x2qvrf/lets_have_a_serious_conversation_about_cathy/', 'Cathy Woods\'s investment in ARK sparked a spirited debate and I wanted to share my thoughts beyond just a quick headline post.\n\nIt may surprise some that I am not a huge fan of Cathy Woods but I do see value in the investment and publicicity and have to give her credit where credit is due.\n\nI feel she deserves credit (and I will expand on this) for being able to identify trends early and those criticisms of her are unrelated to this point or somewhat tied to the ARK prospectus (I assume few one read this).\n\nLet\'s talk about what I think she got right...\n\nARK, on occasion, does deep dives. They have done very few of these. I understand that psychedelics will be one of those.\n\nSince 2016 ARK has published 22 deep dives. Those 22 deep dives centered on only 4 areas. They are:\n\n1. BTC\n2. 3d Printing (PRNT)\n3. TESLA\n4. CRISPR (four tickers)\n\nOk, so she is not just picking everything and then advertising the winners - we have four stocks.\n\nHow did they do? Here are the results from the time she recommended them to the peak (since this is to the peak take that with a grain of salt).\n\n1. BTC 18,000%\n2. 3d Printing 125% (PRNT)\n3. TSLA 2,900%\n4. CRISPR Companies (four)\n\n* \\-NTLA 580%\n* \\-EDIT 152%\n* \\-BLUE 16%\n* \\-CRSP 325%\n\nI consider that pretty darn decent. She made four high conviction plays in six years returning 16%,125%, 152%, 325%, 2,900% and 18,000%. What else performed better?\n\nI would also point out that she was ridiculed and laughed at when she made this investment. She does not seem to shy away from taking a contrarian position.\n\nBased on this I give her credit for being able to identify a few select trends very early. I believe psychedelics will be one of them.\n\nLet\'s discuss some criticisms of her. They are usually the following:\n\n* "Ha Ha, She Bought XYZ at $9,000,000 and lost!!!!". "She cannot manage risk" "Just buy more TSLA!!! ELlllooooooooonnnnnnn"\n\nThese fall into three categories.\n\n1. Bad trades. Yes, she made them.\n2. Isolated data points are not related to my original point and should be presented as part of a more comprehensive thesis.\n3. Somewhat explained by the ARKK prospectus.\n 1. The ARKK prospectus requires her to be nearly fully invested at all times absent extraordinary events. If your investors hire you to invest in biotech or tech or crypto and that sector falls as a whole- what do you do? What biotech stock would you have selected when XBI fell 58% or tech stock when QQQ fell 30%? Sure you could say market conditions are extraordinary and hoard cash but you agreed with your investors this was a high-risk tech fund to be invested almost 100% in tech/crypto etc. I still feel she needs to work this out though but as a public investor, you can exit at any time. There is no lockup.\n\nLastly, don\'t let this weigh too much on you. **The largest institutional investors in ATAI and CMPS ARE NOT ARK.** Insiders and venture funds hold more than ARK (per their 13F filings). Insiders only make money if you do. Venture Funds are paid on performance fees. They only get paid if the stock goes up as well. ARKK is the first public fund to buy ATAI / CMPS but far from the first nor the largest. The fact that institutions hold more but everyone talks about ARK now should tell everyone the publicity she brings.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/shroomstocks/comments/x2qvrf/lets_have_a_serious_conversation_about_cathy/', 'x2qvrf', [['u/9mac', 17, '2022-09-01 00:57', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/shroomstocks/comments/x2qvrf/lets_have_a_serious_conversation_about_cathy/iml4zyd/', 'I find her weird ass "faith based investing" schtick to be completely off putting, but that\'s me.', 'x2qvrf'], ['u/ControlPlusZ', 10, '2022-09-01 04:48', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/shroomstocks/comments/x2qvrf/lets_have_a_serious_conversation_about_cathy/imm09x1/', 'On ATAI and CMPS yeah.

Bitcoin plunged late last week amid mounting fears over continuing U.S. central bank monetary hawkishness and macroeconomic uncertainty.\nThe asset seems increasingly likely to remain in the same price rut until the release later this month of the latest inflation numbers and other key economic indicators, and the Federal Reserve\'s next interest rate hike, which is widely expected to be 75 basis points.\n"I think we\'re definitely in a market purgatory for some time until some big things start to happen around the regulatory front," Greg Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Rubicon Crypto, told CoinDesk TV\'s "First Mover" program. He added: "I\'m paying attention of course, like everybody else in the industry to what happens in September."\nEther, the second-largest crypto by market cap, was changing hands just below $1,600, up about a 1.5% from a day ago. Johnson was upbeat about the Merge, the Ethereum blockchain shift later this month from a proof-of-work to more energy efficient proof-of-stake protocol that has excited investors.\n"We look at the Merge as one of the most important experiments in the blockchain community that\'s ever happened," he said. "The success lays the blueprint for other migration [from proof-of-work] to proof-of-stake. That\'s going to have an impact on market performance short term. Really, the big thing is what does this do to set in motion broader, similar moves across the blockchain space?\nOther cryptos in the CoinDesk top 20 by market cap spent much of Thursday in the green, with COSMOS and LINK recently climbing more than 7% and 4%, respectively. Popular meme coins DOGE and SHIB were also up.\nStocks\nEquity markets were mixed, with the tech-focused Nasdaq falling slightly but the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) breaking four-day losing streaks to close up 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. Investors will be nervously eyeing the U.S. Department of Labor\'s latest jobs report on Friday for signs of a cooling job market more consistent with a contracting economy. The current jobless rate stands at an historically low 3.5%, although a report Wednesday by payment processor ADP showing private employers adding a lower number of jobs to their payrolls than the average of the previous three months suggested some weakening in the jobs market.\nCrypto news\nBeleaguered crypto lending platform Celsius Network\'s troublescontinuedon Thursday as a group of custodial-account holders formally asked the court overseeing the company\'s bankruptcy case to authorize the return of their funds.\nOther industry and crypto market news was brighter. As CoinDesk\'s Krisztian Sandorreported, some analysts believe the current bitcoin swoon offers a good opportunity to put on a contrarian bet on the digital asset\'s price rising. And CoinDesk\'s Jocelyn Yang found that even as the crypto market pointed downward in August, the prices of several altcoinsrosebecause of positive news events affecting them.\nRubicon\'s Johnson believes the crypto market will expand considerably at least in the U.S. only after regulatory efforts by leading government agencies progress.\n"We believe that for big things to happen in the crypto markets, for us to go from being stuck at 16%, 17% 18% U.S. adoption, we\'re going to need everybody to get on board, and over the next year or so I think you\'re going to start to see more and more of that start to take place. That\'s when we start to see the network scale that everybody talks about."\nJohnson added: "There\'s over $100 trillion easily in the registered advisory industry in the United States. If just a small amount of that starts to migrate, the entire crypto ecosystem moves and it moves exponentially."\n[{"Asset": "Terra", "Ticker": "LUNA", "Returns": "+14.9%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Cosmos", "Ticker": "ATOM", "Returns": "+7.8%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Chainlink", "Ticker": "LINK", "Returns": "+4.4%", "DACS Sector": "Computing"}]\n[{"Asset": "Avalanche", "Ticker": "AVAX", "Returns": "\\u22120.4%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Bitcoin", "Ticker": "BTC", "Returns": "\\u22120.3%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}, {"Asset": "Solana", "Ticker": "SOL", "Returns": "\\u22120.3%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}]\nThe Case Against Michael Saylor and What It Means\nBy Sam Reynolds\nTax residency is a complicated affair. Numbers play a part of it, but not the entirety.\nThe cryptocurrency industry is full of big, brash personalities. Given the increased prominence of the asset class, law enforcement is paying closer attention.\nBinance is thesubject of a probeby the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (though it’s unclear if this is a subpoena or just a conversation). The IRS has alsopromisedto make more of an effort to go after traders that underreport income. MicroStrategy founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor finds himself beingscrutinized by the District of Columbia’sAttorney General over his tax residency. Saylor says he’s a resident of Florida, where he claims he resides for over half the year, votes and reports for jury duty, but the case being brought by the District says he’s also a resident of D.C.\n“Under District law, any individual is subject to District tax liability if they are domiciled in the District, or if they establish statutory residency in the District. Saylor has been domiciled in the District, or a statutory resident of the District, or both, in each year from 2013 through 2020,” the complaint reads.\nThe complaint outlines that under D.C. law a person can be a statutory resident if they maintain a place of abode in the district. It also outlines that from 2013-2020 Saylor sometimes spent less than three months in Florida – and always returning to Washington, D.C. This round trip, they say, proves that his real home is in the District and not in Florida.\n“He continued returning to Georgetown, where his yachts were docked, time and again. Furthermore, social media posts confirm that the District remained the center of both his social and business lives. His District abode served as a home accessible to his principal place of business in Tysons Corner, showing that his economic base of operations remained near the District, not Florida,” the complaint reads.\nComplaint\nThe complaint also says that despite registering to vote in Florida, Saylor has never actually voted in person in the state, according to voter records.\n“Voting records show that he requested absentee ballots sent to the address of MicroStrategy’s corporate office in the District suburbs in the 2020 election, and, on information and belief, he requested that absentee ballots in prior elections be sent to either his corporate address in Virginia or home address in the District,” the complaint says.\nSaylor, for his part, disputes the charges, saying that he always remained in Florida for the majority of the year.\nBut the problem is the case isn’t about that. It’s about where he made a home.\nEvery tax jurisdiction in the world accounts for this, otherwise the rich would shuttle themselves between low-tax jurisdictions and their "home base" and avoid paying tax. Washington, D.C., even has a special clause for this: Part-Year D.C. Resident. The item accounts for those that spend part of their year in the District, even if they don’t have a statutory residence.\nOne defense Saylor might have is to highlight the seemingly political nature of the prosecution. Saylor, brash personality and all, is a staunch libertarian (though hetends to donateacross party lines), and cryptocurrency along with bitcoin maximalism tends to be a favorite whipping boy of the political left. The Attorney General, on the other hand,is fairly openabout his disdain for the political right.\nWhile the D.C. AG’s office does present a strong case against Saylor, it could have undoubtedly gone after lower-profile targets that don’t have lightning bolts in their Twitter profile picture.\n8:30 p.m. HKT/SGT(12:30 p.m. UTC):Labor force participation rate(August)\n8:30 p.m. HKT/SGT(12:30 p.m. UTC):U.S. participation rate(August)\n10 p.m. HKT/SGT(2 p.m. UTC):U.S. factory orders(July/MoM)\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nMichael Saylor Tax Fraud Case, Celsius Bankruptcy Hearing, Crypto September Outlook\nThe District of Columbia is suing MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, claiming he lived in Washington D.C., for more than 10 years but never paid any income taxes to the District.

The Green Party effort followed anunsuccessful attemptby some members of the European Parliament to impose restrictions on the energy-intensive PoW consensus mechanism that some had characterized as a bitcoin ban. Ernest Urtasun, a Spanish member of the parliament’s Green caucus, told the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee he was “disappointed” by the decision of lead lawmaker Stéphanie Yon-Courtin to effectively kill the idea by withdrawing her support. The green proposal, said Urtasun, “by no means interferes” with separate legislation known as theMarkets in Crypto Assets Regulation(MiCA) – a law requiring licenses for crypto providers whose details were tentatively agreed upon in June. Read more:What Is Proof-of-Work? “It’s designed as a follow up to that regulation with the aim of supporting the [European] Commission’s future work on that issue,” Urtasun said, shortly before committee members voted to reject his plans. “There is evidence that crypto-assets can cause significant harm on the climate and environment,” said the amendment put forth by Urtasun, which called for 800,000 euros (US$803,000) of public money to be committed to developing a scientific way to measure the environmental impact of mining and identifying greener alternatives. Urtasun was seeking to hook his plans into an opinion produced for the parliament’s budget committee, which takes the lead in negotiating how the EU’s overall budget – roughly 185 billion euros per year – should be spent.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. **Today's Key News:** ['Paul Krugman. Ricardo Rubio/Europa Press via Getty Images Paul Krugman has been a scathing critic of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for at least a decade. The Nobel Prize-winning economist has called them pointless, wasteful, and virtually worthless. Krugman has also dismissed crypto as mostly a tool for criminals, and in large part a Ponzi scheme. Paul Krugman has repeatedly criticized bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, dismissing them as useless, wasteful, niche, and only valuable due to hype and speculation. Over the years, the Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist has slammed the crypto industry for enabling criminals, complicating transactions, preying on vulnerable people, and operating as a pyramid scheme. Here are Krugman\'s 12 best quotes about crypto over the past decade, lightly edited for length and clarity: 1. "People think it\'s smart, nay cutting-edge, to create a sort of virtual currency whose creation requires wasting real resources in a way Adam Smith considered foolish and outmoded in 1776." (" Adam Smith Hates Bitcoin ") (April 12, 2013) 2. "To be successful, money must be both a media of exchange and a reasonably stable store of value. And it remains completely unclear why bitcoin should be a stable store of value." (" Bitcoin is Evil ") (December 28, 2013) 3. The enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies seems very odd, because it goes exactly in the opposite of the long-run trend. Instead of near-frictionless transactions, we have high costs of doing business, because transferring a bitcoin or other cryptocurrency unit requires providing a complete history of past transactions. Instead of money created by the click of a mouse, we have money that must be mined \x97 created through resource-intensive computations." (" Transaction Costs and Tethers: Why I\'m a Crypto Skeptic ") (July 31, 2018) 4. "Cryptocurrencies have no backstop, no tether to reality. Their value depends entirely on self-fulfilling expectations \x97 which means that total collapse is a real possibility. If speculators were to have a collective moment of doubt, suddenly fearing that bitcoins were worthless, well, bitcoins would become worthless." (" Transaction Costs and Tethers: Why I\'m a Crypto Skeptic ") (July 31, 2018) Story continues 5. "There might be a potential equilibrium in which bitcoin (although probably not other cryptocurrencies) remain in use mainly for black market transactions and tax evasion, but that equilibrium, if it exists, would be hard to get to from here: once the dream of a blockchained future dies, the disappointment will probably collapse the whole thing." (" Transaction Costs and Tethers: Why I\'m a Crypto Skeptic ") (July 31, 2018) 6. "Crypto has been effectively marketed: It manages both to seem futuristic and to appeal to old-style goldbug fears that the government will inflate away your savings, and huge past gains have drawn in investors worried about missing out. So crypto has become a large asset class even though nobody can clearly explain what legitimate purpose it\'s for." ( How Crypto Became the New Subprime ) (January 27, 2022) 7. "I\'m seeing uncomfortable parallels with the subprime crisis of the 2000s. No, crypto doesn\'t threaten the financial system \x97 the numbers aren\'t big enough to do that. But there\'s growing evidence that the risks of crypto are falling disproportionately on people who don\'t know what they are getting into and are poorly positioned to handle the downside." ( How Crypto Became the New Subprime ) (January 27, 2022) 8. "Bitcoin plays into a fantasy of self-sufficient individualism, of protecting your family with your personal AR-15, treating your Covid with an anti-parasite drug or urine and managing your financial affairs with privately created money, untainted by institutions like governments or banks." (" Guns, Germs, Bitcoin and the Antisocial Right ") (January 31, 2022) 9. "Cryptocurrencies play almost no role in economic transactions other than speculation in crypto markets themselves. And if your answer is \'give it time,\' you should bear in mind that bitcoin has been around since 2009, which makes it ancient by tech standards; Apple introduced the iPad in 2010." (" Crashing Crypto: Is This Time Different? ") (May 17, 2022) 10. "If you believe, as I do, that crypto is to a large extent a Ponzi scheme, this may just happen to be the moment when the scheme has run out of new suckers." (" Wonking Out: Wasn\'t Bitcoin Supposed to Be a Hedge Against Inflation? ") (June 17, 2022) 11. "Jim Chanos went on to call crypto a \' predatory junkyard .\' Well, I wouldn\'t go that far. Actually, on second thought, I would." (" Wonking Out: Wasn\'t Bitcoin Supposed to Be a Hedge Against Inflation? ") (June 17, 2022) 12. "The way I see it, crypto evolved into a sort of postmodern pyramid scheme. The industry lured investors in with a combination of technobabble and libertarian derp; it used some of that cash flow to buy the illusion of respectability, which brought in even more investors. And for a while, even as the risks multiplied, it became, in effect, too big to regulate." (" Crypto Is Crashing. Where Were the Regulators?

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:** ["It’s Labor Day weekend, which means that summer is over. No, I do not care that the autumn season hasn’t officially started; summer is over when August is over. Anyway, the finance world is usually slow in August since that’s when Wall Street’s finest unwind by doing work by the dim light of their mobile phones in the Hamptons instead of by the bright light of their offices in the Financial District. Now bitcoin, not to be upstaged, thought it would be best to buck that trend entirely by effectively erasing all of July’s price gains in August. So let’s talk about summer markets. – George Kaloudis ______________________________________________________________________ First, let’s let summer mean from the start of June to the end of August. If you look at bitcoin’s last two monthly candles, they look like mirror images of each other, with July’s green and August’s red (see below). You’re reading Crypto Long & Short , our weekly newsletter featuring insights, news and analysis for the professional investor. Sign up here to get it in your inbox every Sunday. Monthly bitcoin price chart (TradingView) Candles show how the price of an asset changed over a specified time period. The end of the lines (or wicks) on either side of the rectangles touch the low and high price during the time period, and the bottoms and tops of the rectangles (or candlesticks) represent the open and close price during that time period. Green candles mean the price went up; red candles mean the price went down. In this case: bitcoin started July around $19.9K, hit a monthly low of about $18.8K, peaked around $24.7K in July, and ended July around $23.3K. It then started August around $23.3K, sank to $19.6K, climbed as high as $25.2K, and ended the month around $20.0K. So you could say that bitcoin has taken the summer off – except June happened. Bitcoin opened June trading at about $31.8K, which means bitcoin’s price fell about 33% in the summer. To test the idea that “nothing happens in finance in the summer,” you could compare bitcoin’s summer to the S&P 500’s, which has lost about 4.3% since June (maybe things do happen in finance in the summer). Story continues But an interesting fact pattern appears when looking at these summers: Bitcoin hadn’t had a negative summer since 2018 and the S&P 500 hadn’t had one since 2015 . Read more: Bitcoin's Price Rises Amid Uncertainty Bitcoin summer price performance (TradingView, CoinDesk Indices) You could insert an advertisement for the disclaimer that “past performance is not indicative of future results,” but also, we knew that. The only thing these historical time frames have in common over the years is the time frame itself. But we’ll look at these time frames for some insight anyway, because Mr. Market is emotional, irrational (a dog-themed cryptocurrency is worth billions (there are actually two of them !)) and inefficient (if it weren’t, prices would never move). A cruel summer Here are some truths: During the last two summers, BTC spot exchange volumes (the dollar value of bitcoin traded) were down about 43.5% in 2021 and about 14.0% in 2022 when compared to the preceding three months, respectively. Volumes were down in both comparable periods, but bitcoin’s price gained 33.1% in 2021 and lost 32.6% in 2022. So if the last two years are any indication, you can reasonably suggest that volumes are thinner in summer, but you probably wouldn’t suggest that it leads to a price increase or decrease. As a disclaimer, the volume data comes from skew , which aggregated across seven trusted exchanges (Kraken, LMAX Digital, ItBit, Bitstamp, Gemini, Coinbase and FTX). As such, the absolute volume number is understated, but it works for comparison purposes. If you then look forward to September, the same volume historically increases rather quickly. The spot exchange volumes in September were $10.7 billion and $51 billion for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Those values make up 38.9% and 42.7% of the preceding three months of volumes (not for nothing, there wasn’t a month-over-month volume increase between August and September in 2020). Bitcoin monthly trading volume (skew) So you could reasonably expect trading volume to pick up, and it typically does in the fourth quarter anyway. But the real question is: At what price? Well, if previous Septembers are any indication (which they aren’t), it is valuable to know that bitcoin’s price has decreased in September every year since 2017. So does that mean, after bitcoin performed so poorly this summer, it will be absolutely, tremendously down in September? Bitcoin price performance in September (TradingView, CoinDesk Indicies) Who knows? See, the thing about looking at tangible metrics of price performance and volume over time periods is there is one critical item missing in those numbers. Narrative . Sure, the expected volume increase in September might exacerbate whatever narrative is the flavor of the month, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate that bitcoin’s price will definitely fall this September. 2022’s post–summer narrative So, what is the narrative? These days, traders are paying close attention to the Merge . The Merge is not on Bitcoin (it is on Ethereum), but ether is the second most heavily traded cryptocurrency, so their price action is related. Whether the Merge will be bearish or bullish is up for debate. Read more: Ethereum’s Merge Projected for September According to 'Soft' Timeline Instead, here’s the cynical narrative my skeptical mind is paying attention to: What if the Merge isn’t as successful as anticipated or, worse yet, it breaks Ethereum? To me that means that either: a) Bitcoin will get dragged down as collateral damage as traders will trade all crypto assets like they’ve failed, b) traders will flood out of ETH to bitcoin since BTC doesn’t really make these sorts of wholesale technology updates and that’s good , or c) something in between. Read more: Did Merge Optimism Lift Ether or Was It the S&P 500? My bet is on c, but that’s because it’s easy to not be wrong if you hedge enough. In any event, we’ll be sure to revisit this at the end of September since that would mark the end of the third quarter and the start for the historically heavily traded fourth quarter. On top of that, the Merge will have been … merged … by then so there will be plenty to discuss around its degree of success.", "It’s Labor Day weekend, which means that summer is over. No, I do not care that the autumn season hasn’t officially started; summer is over when August is over.\nAnyway, the finance world is usually slow in August since that’s when Wall Street’s finest unwind by doing work by the dim light of their mobile phones in the Hamptons instead of by the bright light of their offices in the Financial District. Now bitcoin, not to be upstaged, thought it would be best to buck that trend entirely by effectively erasing all of July’s price gains in August.\nSo let’s talk about summer markets.\n– George Kaloudis\n______________________________________________________________________\nFirst, let’s let summer mean from the start of June to the end of August. If you look at bitcoin’s last two monthly candles, they look like mirror images of each other, with July’s green and August’s red (see below).\nYou’re readingCrypto Long & Short, our weekly newsletter featuring insights, news and analysis for the professional investor.Sign up hereto get it in your inbox every Sunday.\nCandles show how the price of an asset changed over a specified time period. The end of the lines (or wicks) on either side of the rectangles touch the low and high price during the time period, and the bottoms and tops of the rectangles (or candlesticks) represent the open and close price during that time period. Green candles mean the price went up; red candles mean the price went down.\nIn this case: bitcoin started July around $19.9K, hit a monthly low of about $18.8K, peaked around $24.7K in July, and ended July around $23.3K. It then started August around $23.3K, sank to $19.6K, climbed as high as $25.2K, and ended the month around $20.0K.\nSo you could say that bitcoin has taken the summer off – except June happened. Bitcoin opened June trading at about $31.8K, which means bitcoin’s price fell about 33% in the summer. To test the idea that “nothing happens in finance in the summer,” you could compare bitcoin’s summer to the S&P 500’s, which has lost about 4.3% since June (maybe thingsdohappen in finance in the summer).\nBut an interesting fact pattern appears when looking at these summers: Bitcoin hadn’t had a negative summer since2018and the S&P 500 hadn’t had one since2015.\nRead more:Bitcoin's Price Rises Amid Uncertainty\nYou could insert an advertisement for the disclaimer that “past performance is not indicative of future results,” but also, we knew that.

A sports franchise and a blockchain startup are both led by a small pack of operators – whether it’s a revered National Football League coach and a seasoned quarterback, or a visionary founder alongside a savant developer – who must take their team to victory. They handle challenging conditions as one unit, all the while contending with large personalities, changing cultural tailwinds and frequent setbacks. This piece is part of CoinDesk's Sports Week . Jonathan Manzi is the founder and CEO of Beyond Protocol, a blockchain company specializing in the Internet of Things with human performance use cases involving NFL players like Rob Gronkowski . The team extends beyond the immediate unit into a broader community. Just as tens of thousands of Patriots fans pack Gillette Stadium for each game, legions of cryptocurrency believers swarm Telegram channels for company announcements and giveaways. Fans root for successful performances from their teams during tough times. Colorful mascots, like the one for the Las Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League or Uniswap’s mythical unicorn, serve as a rallying point for fans all connected by their shared love of the team. While celebrity athletes have endorsed cryptocurrency projects, a real use case for crypto in sports lies in the stadium with fans and how they connect with the team. Whether it’s a blue-chip digital asset like bitcoin or colorful altcoins like doge, cryptocurrencies add a fun dimension to players’ storylines that fans now play crucial roles in. Let’s give sports fans a “bitcoin” When Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan Byron Kennedy caught Tom Brady’s 600th touchdown ball last October, the Bucs quarterback gave 1 BTC as a consolation prize to get the football back – in addition to season tickets and troves of Buccaneers merch. “I am also giving him a bitcoin, which is pretty cool, too,” Brady said during a press conference, after tweeting “Let’s get this guy a Bitcoin.” Story continues Hey @FTX_Official , let’s make a trade...Let’s get this guy a Bitcoin https://t.co/emBFE1Lyr7 — Tom Brady (@TomBrady) October 25, 2021 Brady has a partnership with crypto exchange FTX, and both parties turned the storyline to their advantage. Although the Buccaneers showered Kennedy with merch, the “cherry on top” is magical internet money landing in the fan’s smartphone – Bucs merch can be reproduced endlessly, but bitcoin is finite. Our company, Beyond Protocol, even joined the fun and gave Kennedy some of our native tokens , taking the journey from real life to social media to blockchain. Cynics focusing solely on the corporate partnership between FTX and Brady miss the fact that crypto is fun, and there is a human and cultural element to it. Once regulation catches up with technology, sports franchises can offer airdrops to fans, while incentivizing the larger “team community” to publicly show support for players. Franchises can further leverage this model by tapping into iconic moments in their team’s history. Imagine receiving an NFT ( non-fungible token ) that grants access to baseball legend Ted Williams’ iconic red seat in the bleachers of Fenway Park in Boston. Read More: How DAOs Could Change Sports We’re still only in the top of the first inning when it comes to the maturation of blockchain technology. As the industry evolves, new use cases will emerge. While it’s tempting to view these as theoretical talking points from crypto evangelists, the infrastructure in sports stadiums to enable blockchain is rapidly being built out, from FTX gobbling up the naming rights to the Miami Heat's arena, and then airdropping every fan in a section $500 in crypto, to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban enabling dogecoin at Mavericks games. Or just shower everyone in dogecoin Crypto and sports are fun. “The Mavericks have decided to accept dogecoin as payment for Mavs tickets and merchandise for one very important, earth shattering reason, because we can!” Cuban said in a press release in March of last year . “We have chosen to do so because sometimes in business you have to do things that are fun.” As a billionaire invested in decentralized finance ( DeFi ), Cuban understands the value of seeding fun, new concepts into pre-existing institutions, letting them take hold and grow. Whether it’s a meme coin or ticket scanner, whenever a new variable is introduced to any environment, both change over time. By accepting payments in a meme coin, the Mavericks franchise allows cryptocurrency to evolve in a contained ecosystem, while studying what works and what doesn’t with adoption. Six months later in September 2021, the Mavericks’ launched a dogecoin cashback rewards program , indicating that meme coins are growing into an even greater part of the organization’s culture.

Lets say we both put in €10 initially, so we also create a settlement transaction to return €10 to our each of our separate bank accounts in case either of us wants to break up. This settlement transaction is signed, but not yet published or recorded on the chain.\n\nIf I want to pay to €2, usually I would create a transaction from my bank account to yours, but that\'s takes time and transaction fees. With lightning, I would instead create a new settlement transaction for our joint account that gives €12 to you and €8 to me. This new transaction also invalidates the old settlement transaction. Again, this doesn\'t need to be recorded on the chain unless either of us wants to split up.\n\nThis principle can be extended to form networks of channels. Let\'s say A wants to pay C. They don\'t have a channel between them, but they do both have a channel with B. Then B can act as an intermediary, such that A pays B and B pays C.\n\n> Like, how much does it cost to set it up? \n\nYou can set up a client on cheap computer hardware. However, a client should ideally be online 24/7, otherwise your counterparty might assume you are gone and close the channel. Your counterparty can also try to scam you by publishing an old settlement transaction. This takes time and is risky for the counterparty, but it can happen. \n\n>I assume you have to "stake" some crypto for the network layer?\n\nYes, a channel must be funded initially by one or both parties. The amount you can send and receive depends on the balance of the channel.\n\n> What are the fees and commissions? \n\nThe fees differ but are usually a fraction of a percent, as capacity is much larger than demand. \n\n>What are actual settlement times?\n\nSeconds at most before a transaction is approved by all intermediaries. Recording a transaction on the chain is not necessary for security. Still, parties can close the channel cooperatively, which is recorded in the next available block like any other transaction (10mins average on BTC) or one party can force close the channel after a waiting period (7 days by default)', 'x565f7'], ['u/james_pic', 15, '2022-09-04 17:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/x565f7/bitcoins_lightning_network_in_the_real_world/in2btyv/', 'The big issue with it is that each channel is between exactly two parties.

Bitcoin\'s Quiet Weekend Below $20K By James Rubin Bitcoin camped out below $20,000 on the last three-day summer holiday weekend in the U.S. The largest cryptocurrency by market value was recently trading at about $19,900, up a few ticks of a percentage point over the past 24 hours and about where it ended Friday. BTC has held support at roughly this level for a week as investors eyed employment data that could give them some hint about the U.S. central bank\'s next interest rate intentions later this month and wisdom of committing to higher risk assets. "We continue to see Bitcoin struggling to maintain $20,000 support," Joe DiPasquale, the CEO of crypto asset manager BitBull Capital, wrote in an email to CoinDesk. DiPasquale called bitcoin\'s current range "good...to begin accumulation," although he advised "being mindful of further drops" that might occur around Sept. 13, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the August Consumer Price Index (CPI). Story continues Ether maintained a similar level of crypto price stasis with a little more than half the U.S. Labor Day weekend over. The second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently changing hands just below $1,600, up approximately 1% over the previous day but just about where it ended Friday. ETH investors now await the Bellatrix upgrade on Tuesday. This enhancement on the Beacon Chain will be responsible for setting the rest of the Merge process in motion. The Merge will shift ether from proof-of-work to a more energy efficient proof-of-stake protocol. Other altcoins were mostly in the green with ADA, ATOM and SHIB all recently up over 4% over the previous 24 hours. The native token for GMX, a decentralized exchange on Arbitrum, rose more than 9% and has climbed significantly in recent weeks. Stocks U.S. equity markets closed down on Friday after the Labor Department\'s latest jobs data offered little hope that the Federal Reserve, which has boosted interest rates a hefty 75 basis points at its last two Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, would ratchet back its hawkishness. The tech-heavy Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) all dropped more than a percentage point and have fallen three consecutive weeks. U.S. markets will be closed on Monday. The Institute for Supply Management will release its monthly services index on Tuesday with expectations for a slight decline. And the U.S. Census Bureau will publish its wholesale inventories report for July. Crypto news On Saturday, MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor told an audience at the Baltic Honeybadger conference in Riga, Latvia that the non-crypto part of the software firm is working on bitcoin-related projects as well. The firm\'s developers are working on solutions that would allow the onboarding large numbers of people onto the Lightning network, a payment network on top of bitcoin allowing faster and cheaper transactions. CoinDesk\'s Jocelyn Yang reported , unusual blockchain data appears to show large blocks of bitcoin worth more than $200 million moving for the first time in years, prompting crypto analysts to puzzle over its significance. On Aug. 28, according to a post from crypto data analysis platform CryptoQuant , 5,000 BTC that hadn’t moved for at least seven years was transacted. The next day, LookIntoBitcoin ’s data tracker showed another 5,000 BTC was transferred again. And the saga of troubled crypto lender Celsius Network continued when the company, which is going through bankruptcy proceedings, said in a legal filing Thursday that a freshly found $70 million pile of cash would likely help it continue operating through the end of 2022. According to the document, Celsius expects “approximately $70 million of proceeds from the repayment of USD denominated loans.” BitBull\'s DiPasquale remains wary about predicting any long-term, crypto price movement upward. "If the current macro economic conditions persist, we may see a prolonged consolidation period for crypto and markets in general, as opposed to a sharp upward recovery," he wrote.

So What By Sam Reynolds Robinhood recently announced that it’s listing Cardano (ADA) on its trading platform, which has generated all kinds of buzz and bullish predictions about a price breakout. Of course, talk about ADA and price breakouts sometimes seems\xa0 as old as crypto itself: The token, according to its faithful, is always on the precipice of something great. But the reality is a breakout has yet to happen. ADA, despite being launched in 2017, only introduced smart contracts last year. Smart contracts are what make blockchains useful; the maturity of smart contract framework on Ethereum can be directly tied to the value of Ether. And even after smart contracts were launched on ADA, nothing happened. DeFi Llama shows that the total value locked (TVL) in Cardano is only $81 million. Compared to the TVL locked in other protocols this is smaller than a rounding error (or in the case of Solana, a double-counting scheme ). In the time since ADA’s launch, other protocols have far surpassed it for utility and for the market’s faith in them. Klaytn, which is relatively unknown outside\xa0 Korea , launched in late 2021 and has a TVL of $357 million.\xa0 Avalanche, launched in September 2020, has $1.8 billion in TVL . Even if Tron, which is synonymous with shitcoin, and whose founder’s name is closely associated with a get-rich-quick scheme, has a TVL of $5.7 billion – way more than ADA. Market cap\xa0 is a measure of the value of tokens in circulation, not in the value locked in the protocol’s code. To be sure, Cardano\xa0 founder, Charles Hoskinson, seems to always draw a crowd wherever he goes, and this charisma and his past accomplishments (some falsified as journalist Laura Shin recounts in her recent book)\xa0may largely explain\xa0 the protocol’s allure and $15 billion market cap. Investors are often drawn to entrepreneurs with great presence. Based on Cardano’s current merits, nothing else accounts for its attraction.

An impending bearish crossover, a technical pattern theoretically suggesting continued weakness in the bitcoin ( BTC ) price, could be a trap for sellers and portend a bullish revival. A three-day candlestick chart shows the simple moving average (SMA) of the past 100 candlesticks is on the verge of crossing below the 200-candle SMA, confirming the first bearish crossover of the two averages since December 2018. Historically, the crossover has marked an end of bear markets and paved the way for notable bull runs. The averages crossed bearishly in December 2018, trapping sellers on the wrong side of the market. Bitcoin (BTC) bottomed near $3,200 and spent the following three months building a base for a rally. The cryptocurrency hit a high of $13,800 by the end of June 2019. The bear cross of February 2015 coincided with peak selling, and bitcoin began a multiyear bull run seven months later. The first bear cross, dated June 2012, also trapped sellers on the wrong side of the market. Crossovers between longer duration moving averages are known to be contrary indicators because they are based on past data and tend to lag prices. The market is often battered, oversold and overdue for a reversal higher by the time the crossover is confirmed. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. That said, history could repeat itself because the U.S. Federal Reserve's hawkishness, or anti-stimulus stance, appears to have peaked and traders are now pricing interest rate cuts for 2023. Bitcoin was last trading near $21,730, representing a 6% gain on a 24-hour basis.

Bitcoin Cash was forked from Bitcoin to create a faster and cheaper alternative.\n• U.S. markets were closed on Monday due to the Labor Day holiday.\nSee related article:Where will DeFi be after crypto winter ends?', 'This article was originally published onETFTrends.com.\nBy Patrick Bush and Matthew Sigel\nOur bullish thesis on Cosmos’ ATOM token centers around the power of the Cosmos SDK, the importance of IBC, the clear product market fit of the Cosmos Hub and strong token value accrual.\nPlease note that VanEck has a position(s) in the ATOM token described\xa0below.\nBased on our discounted cash flow analysis of potential Cosmos ecosystem value in 2030, we arrived at a $140 price target for the ATOM token, with downside to $1. With ATOM’s price at $10 as of 8/2/2022, we like the 14-1 odds presented and believe this is a buying opportunity for the\xa0token.\nTo arrive at the model’s assumptions, we found it helpful to answer the following questions:\n• What is a layer 0?\n• Why is cross-chain bridging so hard?\n• How will value accrue to ATOM holders?\n• What is the role of market-makers in crypto?\nA layer 1, smart contract blockchain likeEthereumis simply an enterprise platform that hosts decentralized applications while enabling payments between users. Ethereum generates revenue by charging deployers of smart contracts storage fees, while exacting a toll on users who send transactions or utilize the deployed smart contracts. Conceptually, these customer bases can be segmented into B2B and B2C components, with the deployers of smart contracts thought of as businesses and the end users of the blockchain thought of as consumers. Ethereum rents secure storage space to those businesses to host their enterprise and sells the blockspace to users that allows them to interact with those businesses or send funds. This simple business model, with some tweaks, defines most layer 1\xa0blockchains.\nBy contrast, layer 0 blockchains like theCosmos Hub, PolkadotandAvalancheare highly specialized B2B models. The main customers are other blockchains, and the product provided is security. In essence, alayer 0is a type of blockchain software that coordinates a network of computers where hosted blockchains can deploy their blockchain data and blockchain logic to have it executed to make transactions. This allows the hosted blockchain, or (security) consumer chain, to execute its suite of functions and applications in an environment protected by the layer 0’s security. Because consumer chains deploy as blockchain logic to the layer 0s rather than as smart contract code on a layer 1, they are free to create custom environments for their hosted\xa0applications.\nTo ensure the layer 0 computers are honest, each computer in the network must put up collateral, or “stake”, consisting of the layer 0 tokens. If a computer acts maliciously or fails to properly execute the hosted blockchains’ logic, the computer, called a validator, can lose a portion or all of its stake. This is termed a “proof of stake” (PoS) security model. Effectively, layer 0s are outsourcing host blockchain security to enable each blockchain to focus on its own business model. Security fees can be paid by the consumer chains through a number of different mechanisms, including renting one of a limited number of security spots on a layer 0, collecting a portion of transaction fees, receiving inflationary rewards from consumer chains, or some other combination of these mechanisms. Because layer 0s are secured by validators backed by staked tokens, the value of the security flows through to those staked\xa0tokens.\nThe Cosmos Hub’s target market is the blockchains that make up the Cosmos ecosystem of blockchains. 48 of the 49 blockchains that populate “the Cosmos” are written using theCosmos Software Development Kit (SDK). Released out of a blockchain start-up calledTendermintin January 2018, the Cosmos SDK is the most popular blockchain framework in terms of number of deployments. Cosmos SDK chains include Binance Smart Chain, Thorchain, Oasis, OkEx, Terra and Crypto.com’s Cronos\xa0chain.\nThe Cosmos SDK is a modular framework for developers to create proof of stake (PoS) blockchains. Rather than having to write each component of a blockchain from scratch, developers can pick, choose, and modify components from the Cosmos SDK to assemble their own blockchain. At the heart of the Cosmos SDK is the consensus engine known as the Tendermint Core. Tendermint, utilized in the Terra blockchain, has proven itself extremely robust under the extreme duress of Terra’s collapse. Though the coin values of Terra and Luna were eradicated in the panic, Terra’s Tendermint-based blockchain remained fully operational throughout the entire\xa0melee.\nArguably the most important and revolutionary component of the Cosmos SDK is the IBC module. Using IBC, separate Cosmos SDK blockchains can open up communication channels to exchange data, messages, tokens and other digital assets. The permissionless and trustless communication technology of IBC solves many of the issues presented by trusted bridging solutions that have led to over $1B in funds stolen through bridge hacks. IBC not only allows assets to transfer across chains, but also enables cross chain composability.

The U.S. inflation rate for June was 9.1%. Economists are looking for it to go even higher in the months ahead. At the end of July, the Federal Reserve hiked its Fed Funds rate 75 basis points, the second consecutive time it’s done so. The benchmark Fed Funds rate is what the Federal Reserve charges banks for overnight borrowing. On top of that, a blowout nonfarm payroll jobs report for June showed an increase of 528,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate declined to 3.5%. On average, economists were looking for an increase of 258,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 3.6%. So there’s basically runaway inflation, rising interest rates and a booming economy — many economists are suggesting people ignore the second consecutive quarterly decline of the U.S. gross national product. So what’s an investor to do? To begin with, if you own real estate, hang on to it. Inflation will eventually increase the value of your holdings, even though real estate sales may have slowed. The same holds true with equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) you may already own. A real estate developer once said that real estate is the best thing to own in an inflationary environment. But what if your current traditional investments like stocks and mutual funds have collapsed in value, and your bonds and bond fund income doesn’t come close to the current inflation rate? What can you transition your investment dollars into? Looking for ways to boost your returns?

Bitcoin Plunges Below $19K; Ether Falls as Well By James Rubin After cruising along at just under $20,000 for much of the past four days, bitcoin took a late Tuesday plunge below $19,000. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently trading at about $19,850, down more than 6% over the previous 24 hours, as investors burrowed more deeply into risk-off mode. The decline followed the release of the Institute of Supply Management\'s (ISM) monthly services index showing an unexpected increase in activity among the 15 industries measured in the report. The August ISM underlined the likelihood of further steep interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve to slow the resilient economy as it seeks to tame inflation. "The September swoon is in play as a resilient economy paves the way for more Fed tightening," Oanda Senior Market Analyst Edward Moya wrote in an email. Moya added: "The retail trader is starting to panic again as meme stocks and cryptos fall under pressure. Bitcoin is breaking below the key technical levels." After surging early Tuesday and outperforming bitcoin, ether also plummeted. The second-largest crypto by market value was recently trading near $1,530, off roughly 8% as ETH excitement over the Merge, the change of protocol from proof-of-work to more energy efficient proof-of-stake lessened. Story continues Other major cryptos were solidly red after promising beginnings on the first work day following the long U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend. ETC\'s price, which had risen 28% early Tuesday over the previous 24 hours to trade at $41, was more recently down 14% and changing hands below $35. UNI was off almost 16%. Equity markets also closed down, albeit less dramatically, with the tech-focused Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) all down by a few fractions of a percentage point. "Stocks are going to struggle because too much of the economy is doing well and that leaves Wall Street vulnerable to an extended period of rising interest rates," Moya wrote. Moya noted bitcoin\'s continued correlation with tech stocks, and he called "the surge with Treasury yields, which rose to nearly 3.5% – their second-highest level of 2022 – "a troubling sign." "Many are starting to doubt that the peak in yields is in place and that could spell trouble for bitcoin," he wrote. "Bitcoin selling pressure will next eye the summer lows just ahead of the $17,500 level." Biggest Gainers There are no gainers in CoinDesk 20 today.

But that’s a surface-level analysis. The reality is not quite that. Binance will still support other stablecoins. It will allow the deposit and withdrawal of USDC, TUSD and others (just not tether). What the exchange is hoping to accomplish is having one big pool for USD stablecoins to be used for trading – powered by Binance’s USD stablecoin – similar to how FTX pools all stablecoins together under a generic USD and stablecoins category. (FTX screenshot) “Removing most stablecoin pairs is a good thing. Liquidity doesn’t have to be split between multiple stablecoins, making market makers’ jobs easier and markets overall more liquid,” Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO of Wintermute, a market maker for digital assets, tweeted . Gaevoy highlighted that this change actually makes transactions more seamless and frictionless. Binance’s margined products were all denominated in BUSD anyway so there was a conversion required. “Now you can skip the conversion step both ways (for BUSD margined products). It’s a better customer journey all while keeping USDC useful (I’d even argue more useful),” he tweeted. But why isn’t tether (USDT) included in this list of stablecoin products Binance will convert to BUSD? Gaevoy thinks it\'s because U.S. regulators hate tether, meaning that Silvergate and Signature, two large crypto-friendly banks in the U.S., won’t touch it. All this is similar to how FTX treats tether. USDT is viewed as an asset being 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, but not a stablecoin. Burak Tamac, senior researcher at CryptoQuant, has a slightly different view. This move by the exchange is all a play by Binance to absorb the liquidity of USDC in order to undermine USDT. “According to our recent research on stablecoin efficacy, USDT and BUSD have been the top contender for market velocity,” he told CoinDesk, while pointing out that USDC’s one-year velocity is 0.08 compared to USDT’s 0.83 and BUSD’s 0.33. “Since USDC does not seem competitive with BUSD, I believe Binance aims to absorb USDC’s liquidity to undermine USDT in the long run,” he continued. “BUSD’s issuer Paxos is under the New York Department of Financial Services regulatory umbrella. Regulatory clarity and a higher Peg-Robustness score will give BUSD a better ground to compete with USDT.” Behind the scenes Nansen analyst Martin Lee wrote in a note to CoinDesk that Binance has “massively reduced its holdings from the middle of August, while most exchanges typically range sideways.” Tokens on exchanges. (Nansen) Data shows that Binance reduced its holdings of USDC from 2.2 billion USDC on Aug. 14 to one billion USDC on Aug. 22. The most notable transaction is a transfer of 1.78 billion USDC from a Binance peg wallet to a Binance deposit wallet , Lee wrote. It\'s significant, he believes, because the Binance peg wallet contains tokens that are wrapped and pegged by Binance on a 1:1 ratio to the corresponding native token. Balance changes (Nansen) Binance’s intent The core question remains what Binance’s intention was in removing USDC and other stablecoins as a trading pair. On the one hand, the fact that the exchange is removing, behind the scenes, USDC as one of its pegs would suggest that it might be a grander play to delete the stablecoin from history after it gets absorbed. After all, one of the functions of stablecoins, aside from their use in trading pairs, is to provide the dollar stability that their name endows. And if Binance is attempting to remove USDC’s functionality as one of the important pegs for other tokens, then it just might have more sinister plans for the stablecoin market to solidify BUSD’s lead. But on-chain data doesn’t always paint the full picture. This could all just be a harmless reshuffling of assets.

(TradingView) Bitcoin ( BTC ) erased three weeks of gains after plunging 8.4%, its biggest single-digit decline in two months. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is now trading at about $21,340. Two analysts with whom CoinDesk spoke said investor concerns about inflation and the likelihood of continued monetary hawkishness by the U.S. Federal Reserve had spurred the decline in crypto prices and other riskier assets. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index, whose fluctuations have largely correlated with bitcoin this year, recently fell over 2%. The S&P 500, which has a strong tech component, was down about 1.2%. Paul McCaffery, co-head of equities for investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, noted the connection between plunging asset prices and Wednesday’s release of minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) July meeting showing the U.S. Federal Reserve continues to be concerned about inflation and might not slow the pace of interest rate hikes soon. Bitcoin’s price rose last week after an encouraging Consumer Price Index (CPI) suggested the Fed could ratchet back its approach because of easing inflation. McCaffery said crypto performance will depend on macroeconomic conditions and the ongoing development of regulation.

Sylvia Jablonski, Defiance ETFs co-founder, CEO and chief investment officer, also highlighted voting and non-voting Fed members’ vocal unease with inflation, which remains at near four-decade highs despite the recent improvement shown by the CPI. “Crypto is now on that list of thoughtful, innovative, disruptive technologies and it's viewed as sort of high risk by the average retail trader,” Jablonski said. “So what happens is they get this bad news, they sort of take it in and, lo and behold, the price of bitcoin falls.” Ether ( ETH ), the second-largest crypto by market value, had risen sharply over the past month on enthusiasm about the expected September Ethereum protocol change known as the Merge. However, even ether recently fell to around $1,700, down 9.1% over the past 24 hours.

Why? Market marker algorithms are separate markets of the same product that independently affect price values.*\n\n**What does that mean?**\nIn a market maker, there is a given amount of "liquidity" for the token or coin you\'re purchasing. Liquidity is simply the amount of coin/token available to be traded for another currency/coin/token, more often than not, tokens, must be purchased by the native coin of the blockchain its native to. I say traded, because in all of DeFi, there is no "purchasing" crypto. According to script, and code is law, there are only transfers for trade. Purchasing only applies to CeFi schematics (Centralized Finance)\n\n**Coin:** the native cryptocurrency of a given blockchain *(Ex. Ethereum (ERC20), Cronos (CRC20), BNB (BEP20), etc..)*\n\n**Token:** Smart Contract created assets derived from a native coins network *(Ex. XSurge (BEP20), Uniswap (ERC20), etc..)*\n\n*So for example. If you are trading for (purchasing) a BEP20 token through a DApp (non-centralized exchange in this instance), then you will route BNB through the dapp to be traded for the amount of BEP20 Tokens X amount of BNB is worth.* \n\n**For tokens:** There are two types of liquidity, the token supply and the backing asset. The fluctuating supply of both can determine the supply/demand of the Token thereby increasing or decreasing it\'s value. Its overall value rises primarily when there is more of the native coin backing it, or less supply.\n\n**For coins:** a bit more difficult to explain, but think of a coin as a data ledger. Code is law of the economy. As the coin supply changes, the code conseqently adjusts the supply of the asset and readjusts value as the amount an individual is willing to pay may change. This is where we coin the term Market Cap, which will rise or fall based on supply and value of the asset. Its FAR more complicated than simply the amount of money in the coin itself, demand and value does not always shift simply due to added funds, it only helps. Also important to note that a market cap figures do not equal a 1:1 ratio between value and the amount of money in the system, its strictly a value determined by the price value and supply of itself, not soley its backing.\n\n**Onto exchanges,** Centralized exchanges utilize market makers to determine their own value. The way they do this is by having their own liquidity to supply investors. \n\nYou may have possibly heard back in the Robinhood hype days that when you buy crypto off robinhoods exchange, you do not really own that crypto. 100% true for any and all Centralized exchanges you buy from, including CDC. You simply have a stake in what they hold. For this reason, anything you hold on a Centralized exchange will never assist in increasing or decreasing the actual value of the asset, directly.\n\nIndirectly though, it might. Centralized Exchange (CEX) Market makers work by tracking the supply and demand of the assets in their liquidity rations. The exchanges rations vary to match (at it\'s best) the actual value of the crypto on the blockchain by buying and selling where necessary. It\'s not always a perfect formula, some exchanges requiring human intervention I\'ve noticed vary across the charts, however CDC I\'ve noticed maintains a slightly higher threshold. Possibly because of what some here have said, to cover the fees and trading expenses, but who knows really?\n\nAll Market Makers (MM) may vary across all exchanges and always operate independently of one another. There are many types as well. Some CEX MMs require a lot of human intervention. Some operate with very little, and some require none at all. If you\'ve ever used a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) such as Uniswap or PancakeSwap for instance, these are entirely coded market entities that control each and every transaction autonomously through smart contract code alone. They as well, hold their own value to match at best the coins actual economic value. If you\'ve ever looked at a chart through a data tracking service like CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko, they primarily use Decentralized exchange data to receive their values, some different than others. Datatrackers values also vary frequently.\n\nDEX AutoMM still work in basically the same way as CEX\'s requiring rations of liquidity to perform transactions, however, there are many different types to look into if you\'re interested, Constant Product MM Equation being the most popular for instance.\n\nHopefully now it makes a bit more sense, so again. Market marker algorithms are separate markets of the same product that independently affect its value.\n\nHope this helps', 'x7ogvt'], ['u/jwz9904', 10, '2022-09-07 07:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Crypto_com/comments/x7ogvt/i_loveee_cryptocom_but_i_have_a_question/inexsh5/', 'you loveee something that rips you off.', 'x7ogvt'], ['u/ImTheBestSecretAgent', 31, '2022-09-07 13:37', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Crypto_com/comments/x7ogvt/i_loveee_cryptocom_but_i_have_a_question/infrr9j/', 'And the so called "spread" is theft in clear daylight.', 'x7ogvt']]], ['u/_Wince_', 'What if the price of BTC continued to plummet during a halving?', 108, '2022-09-07 01:34', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/x7pe3x/what_if_the_price_of_btc_continued_to_plummet/', "I don't think this is likely, just hypothetical.

The largest cryptocurrency by market cap is now struggling to maintain support above $19,000 as investors shrink from the same Federal Reserve monetary hawkishness and macroeconomic uncertainty that have plagued riskier assets for months.\n"There was probably a lot of period of time for bitcoin where the macro factors probably didn\'t matter, but to the extent that the goal is to be more mainstream, the more mainstream it becomes, the more it\'s affected by mainstream things," Noah Hamman, CEO of investment management company AdvisorShares, told CoinDesk TV\'s "First Mover" program.\nEther continued its recent trend of outperforming bitcoin, rising nearly 6% to trade over $1,630 as crypto markets recovered some of their excitement for the Merge, which shifts the Ethereum blockchain from proof-of-work to more energy-efficient proof-of-stake. On Tuesday, the second largest crypto in value had plummeted below $1,500 for the first time in more than a week.\nAmong other major altcoins, ALGO, the token of proof-of-stake, carbon-negative blockchain network Algorand, recently rose more than 6% after the company announced a protocol upgrade. YGG and CRV jumped more than 12% and 11%, respectively.\nEquity markets\nEquity markets closed higher amid at least a temporary lull in risk-averse sentiment with the tech-focused Nasdaq and S&P 500 both spiking about 2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) climbing nearly 1.5%. On Wednesday, markets receivedfresh signalsthat the Federal Reserve Reserve will approve a third consecutive 75 basis point interest rate hike with several Fed officials in separate speeches reiterating the bank\'s commitment to tame inflation. The Fed has boosted interest rates at its fastest pace in about four decades.\n“We are in this for as long as it takes to get inflation down,” Fed Vice Chairwoman Lael Brainard said Wednesday in aspeechat a banking conference in New York.\nIn her remarks, Brainard also said the cryptocurrency market bears similar risks to traditional finance, but will need new regulations for situations not covered by existing laws. Given the unique characteristics of crypto, there\'s a need for “creating clear regulatory guardrails," she said.\nBrainard alsorestatedher position about the risk of stablecoins. “Stablecoins is one of those areas that I think has the most potential for risk if not properly regulated and of course those risks can easily spill into the main core financial system because of the runnable nature of stablecoins,” she said.\n[{"Asset": "Cosmos", "Ticker": "ATOM", "Returns": "+8.4%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Ethereum", "Ticker": "ETH", "Returns": "+5.9%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Chainlink", "Ticker": "LINK", "Returns": "+5.8%", "DACS Sector": "Computing"}]\nThere are no losers in CoinDesk 20 today.\nWhy DeFi Companies Are Targeting Institutional Investors\nBy Shaurya Malwa\nSEOUL, South Korea – Decentralized finance (DeFi) companies are increasingly targeting a sector they once looked to usurp: traditional finance players and institutional investors.\nThe shift is interestingly consistent. Ethereum lending projects Aave and Compound started offering institutional versions of their products in 2021, while Maker brought an SME loans platform called Monetalis into the Maker fold, with Maker as the sole backer –despite token holders’ opposition.\nThe offerings are not lowball efforts arising from a bear market either. A cohort of “institutional DeFi” (decentralized finance) is growing at a significant pace as well,as per reports.Some research firms even pegthe niche sector to attract over $1 trillion in capital from investors over the next five years.\nSuch moves are a shift from the past ethos of DeFi, which formed in the deep bear market of 2019 as an antidote to TradFi, or traditional finance. A then-sparsely populated Telegram group – just called “DeFi” – had budding protocol builders and users discuss and envision a world where smart contracts wholly govern the supply of finance to users, one where TradFi had no reach.\nThe Telegram group counted among its many participants the-then unknown developers and investors such as Synthetix\'s Kain Warwick, Yearn\'s Artem K, DeFiance Capital\'s Arthur Cheong and Compound\'s Robert Leshner, among several others, who have since evolved into DeFi superstars. But developments of today are a near 180-degree shift from that TradFi-free world.\nGoing \'where the growth is\'\nWhat changed? As per Maker developer Nik Kunkel, it\'s all about “where the growth is.”\n“If you go to an institution, they\'re gonna borrow $100 million. We have people who want to borrow a billion (dollars) from us,” Kunkel said during August’s BuildAsia conference in Seoul. “Trying to get that critical mass of retail users that you need to get $500 million in total loans is really difficult, right?”\nKunkel added that the cost of user acquisition for a retail participant remains high, as opposed to marketing products to institutions that provide a “better bang for your buck” in terms of where a project spends its resources.\nThe sentiment was seconded by Doo Wan Nam, founder of governance-focused crypto fund StableNode. “Many DeFi ecosystems have been aware that user base as well as liquidity can be greatly enhanced via working with TradFi,” Doo told CoinDesk.\nThe likes of Doo say DeFi is not that far off from its promise either. “I would also add that a lot of DeFi ethos was also about educating and revolutionizing the current financial system – which is still applicable,” he said over a Telegram message.\nStill, Maker’s Kunkel says the recent push for institutional catering doesn’t mean that the project isn’t about retail anymore.\n“There\'s different initiatives to serve different purposes. So I think on the growth side we\'re looking more towards institutions, but when it comes to “banking the unbanked,” and that\'s where layer two comes in,” Kunkel said.\n“It\'s too expensive to transact [ether] on a layer one [blockchain]. You can\'t tell someone in Africa or someone in Paraguay that they need to spend $20 on gas costs. That\'s not feasible.”\n“That\'s where the push for layer two [companion blockchain] comes in,” Kunkel noted, adding that fees on such systems were “less than $1 right now” and that future simulations run by the team show that transaction costs gradually “become insignificant.”\nLayer 2 refers to a set of off-chain systems or separate blockchains built on top of layer 1, or base, blockchains. This software bundles multiple off-chain transactions into a single layer 1 transaction, which helps reduce the data load, leading to faster network transactions at lower costs.\nPractising Law Institute: The SEC Speaks in 2022\n1 p.m. HKT/SGT(5 a.m. UTC):Japan Eco Watchers Survey(August/current/outlook)\n8:15 p.m. HKT/SGT(12:15 p.m. UTC):European Central Bank monetary policy statement\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nSignature Bank’s Crypto Outflows Mitigated by Growth in Core Deposits, Wedbush Says:The bank’s spot deposits fell $1.64 billion driven by outflows in digital asset banking of $4.27 billion.\nBitcoin Bets Look Bearish as Futures Trading Hits Record Level:The number of outstanding futures and perpetual contracts on bitcoin rises to a record, and traders are paying up to bet on further price declines – in a market that\'s already bearish.\nCelsius \'Misled\' Investors About Crypto Lender\'s Financial Health, Vermont Regulator Alleges:The Vermont regulator also said the crypto lender\'s treatment of investors funds "suggests" it operated with a Ponzi-like structure.\nBitcoin Miner CleanSpark Buys 10K New Machines for $28M After Discounts, Credits:The company has been taking advantage of opportunities to expand in the bear market.', 'Good morning.

With declining gas prices and airfares, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0%, remaining flat, from June to July, but jumped 8.5% over the past year. Though that’s still high, it’s better than expected, and provides a bit of relief for investors. Bitcoin (BTC) jumped 3% after the report, hitting a 24-hour high of $24,205 at 9:30 a.m. EST. The largest cryptocurrency by market value has since leveled, currently trading at around $24,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum's currency, Ether (ETH), leapt 6% on the news and is up 9.6% over the last day. It is currently trading around $1,845. “The saying is that optimism in a bear market is more precious than diamonds, so we are seeing hope here,” Youwei Yang, director of financial analytics at StoneX, tells Fortune. In addition to slowed inflation, excitement surrounding the Ethereum “merge,” a highly anticipated upgrade promising to improve the network’s efficiency, is also likely contributing to Ether’s bullish run, as later today, Ethereum is likely to run through its final test for the merge. “The September [Ethereum] merge bet still goes on as the open interest of derivatives for ETH is higher than for BTC, for the first time ever,” Yang said. “This morning’s CPI has relieved some macro fear and continue to support the summer rally of crypto led by 'ETHusiasms.'" Altcoins, or cryptocurrencies aside from Bitcoin, are also in the green. Cardano’s ADA, Solana’s SOL, Polkadot’s DOT, and Avalanche’s AVAX are up 5%, 4%, 9% and 8% respectively in the last 24 hours. For this “bullish scenario” to continue, Ryan Shea, crypto economist at trading platform Trakx, tells Fortune , “the Federal Reserve requires confirmation that inflation has peaked and is rapidly falling back towards its 2% inflation target.” This story was originally featured on Fortune.com... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/BedSolid9557', 'What really is a "Bottom".', 10, '2022-09-08 04:33', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/x8o3cp/what_really_is_a_bottom/', 'Whenever I look at these posts obviously folks are either genuinely trying to find it so to speak or perhaps Moon farming, aren\'t we looking at what really comprises the actions of price points?

JaxPool is a BTC mining subpool under a top-5 mining pool. Its goal is to merge-mine Bitcoin with the Jax.Network blockchain and provide miners with increased profitability. To encourage miners to merge-mine Jax.Network, JaxPool offers negative fees on BTC mining. This means that miners not only don’t have to pay any fees but also receive a 1% bonus on the mined BTC. As an added benefit, JaxPool miners are entitled to a portion of block rewards for merge-mining Jax.Network paid in JXN coins. Miners can join the pool via one of the two modes. Mode 1 implies that miners will merge-mine the Jax.Network beacon chain along with BTC and receive their reward in BTC. They also will receive JXN coins as an additional reward but they won’t be able to use a negative fee offer. Mode 2 allows miners to use a -1% fee, however, they won’t receive any locked JXN rewards; only 20 unlocked JXN. Please note that the Mode 2 offer is eligible only for the first 700 PH/s. “We clearly understand that miners need a stable and secure business model, especially during bear markets. JaxPool comes as a life jacket, offering a one-of-a-kind proposal to keep BTC miners afloat,” Vinod Manoharan, Founder of Jax.Network commented. About Jax.Network Jax.Network provides the technological infrastructure for a decentralized energy-standard monetary system. The Jax.Network blockchain is anchored to the Bitcoin network and issues two digital currencies JAX and JXN. JAX is a stablecoin pegged to the energy spent on mining, while JXN is an asset coin representing the value of the whole network. The Jax.Network team aims at making these coins a universal standard for the quantification of economic value. Established in 2018, the company united professionals from all over the world to build a blockchain network based on the Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism and pure state sharding as a scaling solution.

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:** ['This article was originally published onETFTrends.com.\nSeptember has historically been one of the worst months for stocks, with returns averaging -0.34% for the 30-year period, -0.26% for the 15-year period and -0.92% for the five-year period, according to Bloomberg data. As you can see below, September is the only month when the market was down on average in every time period.\nThis, coupled with the fact that 2022 has already been a highly volatile year due to scorching inflation, rising interest rates, recessionary fears and a persistent war in Ukraine, means that investors may consider seeking a haven for their wealth. At the moment, cash appears to be king, with theU.S. dollar’s value at a 20-year high.\nLoyal readers know I also prefer gold and high-quality gold mining stocks, which I believe should make up no more than 10% of a conservative investor’s portfolio. Investors with a longer time horizon may consider between a 2% and 5% weighting in Bitcoin, which looks attractive now at around $20,000.\nThere are two additional macro risks that will make this September particularly interesting. The first is the Federal Reserve’s more aggressive stance against inflation. At this year’s Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, Fed Chair Jerome Powell admitted that rates will likely stay higher for longer to slow growth, which “will also bring some pain to households and businesses.”\nSome market watchers and analysts translate Powell’s words to mean that he is no longer interested in a soft landing. Instead, he may be seeking what economists call a “growth recession,” defined loosely as a period during which the economy is growing at such a slow pace that more jobs are being lost than added.\nWe’re not there yet, though August’s jobs report, released last Friday, could arguably be indicating a slowdown. An estimated 315,000 payrolls were added during the month, slightly exceeding some economists’ expectations but down significantly from July’s 526,000 jobs added.\nAnother indicator that the economy may be slowing? Lower oil prices. The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell for the third straight month in August, its longest losing streak since the beginning months of the pandemic in 2020. Just as it did then, oil could be telling us that global demand is slipping.\nThe second risk is the upcoming midterm elections. Market volatility has tended to be higher in advance of the November midterms, which are largely seen as a referendum on the incumbent president’s policies.\nHistorically, the political party in charge of the White House has lost seats in Congress during the first round of midterm elections. Notably, Democrats lost a whopping 63 seats in 2010, prompting then-President Barack Obama to call the defeat a “shellacking.” The most recent exception to the rule came in 2002 when Republicans picked up eight additional seats, suggesting Americans approved of President George W. Bush’s job as chief executive and commander-in-chief, particularly following the 9/11 attacks.\nI decline to make any predictions on this year’s midterm elections, other than to say that the most favorable outcomemay be a divided Congress.History shows that stocks have generally performed better when a Democrat was in the Oval Office but the U.S. House and Senate were split (though, admittedly, this arrangement has occurred far less frequently than others over the past 90 years).\nIn short, investors seem to prefer legislative gridlock. The day after the midterm elections in 2018, which saw the Democrats take control of the House and Republicans remain in control of the Senate, the S&P 500 jumped more than 2%.\nAs a reminder, we at U.S. Global Investors have no preference when it comes to political parties. It’s the policies that matter, and we believe there’s money to be made if you ignore the noise and follow the trendlines, not the headlines.\nBelow is the S&P 500’s performance from the start of each new presidency going back 30 years to the November midterm elections. Except for the second half of President Joe Biden’s term so far, and all of Bush’s first term—which had a series of unique challenges, including the remnants of the dotcom bubble, the Enron scandal and 9/11—stocks have generally headed higher no matter which party held the White House.\nHere’s another way to look at it: The market has been upthree out of every four yearsgoing all the way back to 1926. If your portfolio is down for the year right now, as it is for most investors, it may make sense statistically to put it out of mind for the time being instead of selling at a loss.\nThis strategy has worked well over a longer timeframe. For the past 84 years, selling S&P 500 stocks after holding them for 10 years has led to a realized loss in only three main instances: the late 1930s (due to the Great Depression and World War II), the mid- to late-1970s and early 1980s (due to oil shocks and high inflation) and the 2008-2009 financial crisis. In all other cases, holding stocks for 10 years or longer has been a profitable action; on average, investors doubled their investment. Today, the market is down about 12% over the past 12 months, but over the past 10 years, it’s up 240%.\nNot everyone has 10 years to make back their money, of course, which is part of the reason why I like to recommend gold. Gold wasone of the few bright spotsin the first half of 2022, helping investors mitigate losses in equities and bonds during an exceptionally volatile year.\nU.S Global Investors (NASDAQ: GROW) reported operating income of $11.1 million, a 36% increase year-over-year, and an operating margin of 45% for the fiscal year ended June 30.

September has historically been one of the worst months for stocks, with returns averaging -0.34% for the 30-year period, -0.26% for the 15-year period and -0.92% for the five-year period, according to Bloomberg data. As you can see below, September is the only month when the market was down on average in every time period. September Has Historically Been a Challenge Month for Stocks This, coupled with the fact that 2022 has already been a highly volatile year due to scorching inflation, rising interest rates, recessionary fears and a persistent war in Ukraine, means that investors may consider seeking a haven for their wealth. At the moment, cash appears to be king, with the U.S. dollar’s value at a 20-year high. Loyal readers know I also prefer gold and high-quality gold mining stocks, which I believe should make up no more than 10% of a conservative investor’s portfolio. Investors with a longer time horizon may consider between a 2% and 5% weighting in Bitcoin, which looks attractive now at around $20,000. Two Additional Risks: The Fed And Midterm Elections There are two additional macro risks that will make this September particularly interesting. The first is the Federal Reserve’s more aggressive stance against inflation. At this year’s Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, Fed Chair Jerome Powell admitted that rates will likely stay higher for longer to slow growth, which “will also bring some pain to households and businesses.” Some market watchers and analysts translate Powell’s words to mean that he is no longer interested in a soft landing. Instead, he may be seeking what economists call a “growth recession,” defined loosely as a period during which the economy is growing at such a slow pace that more jobs are being lost than added. We’re not there yet, though August’s jobs report, released last Friday, could arguably be indicating a slowdown. An estimated 315,000 payrolls were added during the month, slightly exceeding some economists’ expectations but down significantly from July’s 526,000 jobs added. Story continues Another indicator that the economy may be slowing? Lower oil prices. The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell for the third straight month in August, its longest losing streak since the beginning months of the pandemic in 2020. Just as it did then, oil could be telling us that global demand is slipping. Oil Prices Set For Longesrt Monthly Losing Streak Since Early 2020 The second risk is the upcoming midterm elections. Market volatility has tended to be higher in advance of the November midterms, which are largely seen as a referendum on the incumbent president’s policies. Historically, the political party in charge of the White House has lost seats in Congress during the first round of midterm elections. Notably, Democrats lost a whopping 63 seats in 2010, prompting then-President Barack Ob **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [19323.91, 20212.07, 20569.92, 20836.33, 21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06, 21534.12, 21398.91, 21528.09, 21395.02, 21600.90, 20260.02, 20041.74, 19616.81, 20297.99, 19796.81, 20049.76, 20127.14, 19969.77, 19832.09, 19986.71, 19812.37, 18837.67, 19290.32, 19329.83, 21381.15] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

(OTCQB: INVU), a diversified financial technology company that through its subsidiaries and global distribution network provides financial technology, education tools, content, research, and management of digital asset technologies with a focus on Bitcoin mining and the new generation of digital assets, is pleased to announce financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. ConsolidatedFinancial Highlights: Results of Operations-Three Months Ended June 30, 2022vs June 30, 2021 • Gross Revenue (a Non-GAAP measure) decreased 55.5% to $15.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022,compared to $35.8 million for the comparable prior year period. • Net Revenue decreased 42.4% to $14.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $25.6 million for the comparable prior year period. • Net income from operations decreased 84.8% to $1.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $10.5 million for the comparable prior year period, largely due to the lower price of Bitcoin, increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty, a decline in NDAU sales and higher short-term legal expenses. Results of Operations-Six Months Ended June 30, 2022vs June 30, 2021 • Gross Revenue (a Non-GAAP Measure) decreased 35.6% to $35.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $54.4 million for the comparable prior year period. • Net Revenue decreased 23.8% to $32.5 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $42.7 million for the comparable prior year period. • Net income from operations decreased 61.8% to $5.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $15.4 million for the comparable prior year period, largely due to the lower price of Bitcoin, increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty, a decline in NDAU sales and higher short-term legal expenses. Balance Sheet Data-June 30, 2022 vs December 31, 2021 • Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022 was $20.3 million, down $10.7 million from $31.0 million at December 31, 2021, principally as a result of the purchase of $10.9 million of next generation mining equipment during the period. Accordingly, fixed assets increased by the same amount, partially offset by depreciation during the period. Total assets increased by $0.6 million during the current period to $52.1 million. Our current ratio remains strong at 2.19 as of June 30, 2022. • Outstanding debt decreased by $1.9 million to $11.8 million at June 30, 2022, down from $13.7 at December 31, 2021, with total liabilities also decreasing by $1.2 million during the period. • Total stockholders’ equity increased during the period by $1.8 million to $30.8 million, while shares issued and outstanding decreased by 262.9 million to 2,641.3 million at period end. The decrease in outstanding shares was largely attributable to a combination of the retirement of shares associated with a settlement between the Company and two former officers and directors, the effective repurchase of shares associated with the payment of certain tax withholdings upon the vesting of restricted shares granted to certain employees in 2021, and the surrender of previously granted restricted shares in exchange for common stock purchased options that vest in the future. Operating Subsidiaries iGenius net revenue in the second quarter of 2022 was $11.6 million, a decrease of $5.6 million or 32.6%, over the comparable period in 2021; with the decrease largely attributable to a $5.8 million decrease in ndau sales. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $25.8 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 0.7% over the comparable period in 2021. SAFETek (subsidiary) net revenue in the second quarter of 2022 was $3.1 million, a decrease of 62.5% or $5.2 million over the comparable period in 2021. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $6.7 million, a decrease of 59.8% or $10.0 million over the comparable period in 2021. The decrease in net revenue was a result of the decrease in the value of Bitcoin and an increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty levels and older less efficient Bitcoin mining equipment taken offline for repairs during the period. Operational Highlights The Company continues to expand on its Bitcoin mining operations. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, SAFETek, our Blockchain technology subsidiary, purchased 1,976 new next-generation mining servers. This was followed by additional purchases during July 2022, of 1,704 new Whatsminer M30s ASIC mining servers. This expansion is intended to extend the Company's initiative to use low-carbon and renewable energy sources in its mining operations. Once these new mining servers are fully deployed, SAFETek will have 99.50% of its mining operation operating from the latest generation and highest efficiency mining technology. This expansion is estimated to add over 100 Petahash per second to operational capacity extending SAFETek's total operational hash rate capacity to an estimated 400+ Petahash per Second (equal to .400 EH/s Exahash per Second), representing a nearly 50% increase in operational hash rate to SAFETek's online hash rate capacity. SAFETek's equipment acquisition will expand the Company’s mining fleet operating at its Bitcoin mining farm in Europe which operates on close to 100% renewable energy sources of hydro and geothermal energy. SAFETek has significantly reduced its energy and direct operational costs since relocating a majority of its miners to Europe, aided by the level of excess renewable energy sources and favorable climate conditions available from areas which have year-round average temperatures below 50 degrees F. Investview Chief Executive Officer Victor M. Oviedo commented, “We continue to adapt to the changing landscape within the digital asset environment. Despite the lower price of Bitcoin, increase in the difficulties encountered within the Bitcoin mining space, decline in NDAU sales and higher short-term legal expenses, we have continued to make progress within certain key elements of our operating model. While revenue growth and profitability remain significant short-term priorities, we are pleased at our ability to expand our Bitcoin mining capacity, a development that we anticipate will enhance our long-term growth model. We will continue to seek opportunities to diversify our mix of products and services, expand our operating margins and augment the human capital necessary to execute those priorities.” Ralph Valvano, Company CFO added, “Although we experienced erosion in our most recent operating results, we nevertheless still recognized positive net income from operations and an increase in stockholders’ equity at the end of our most recent quarter, despite material industry headwinds and significant non-recurring operating costs. We continue to manage our balance sheet by investing in new next-generation equipment, paying down debt and repurchasing our common stock, while maintaining a strong liquid cash position.” AboutInvestview, Inc.

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:** ['Walk into a smoke shop or small convenience store in South Florida \x97 anywhere from Homestead to Boynton Beach \x97 and you might find not one, but two, ATM machines. Look closely before you try to get cash because there\x92s a big difference. One dispenses paper bills, greenbacks to spend. The other spits out a paper receipt for Bitcoin, far and away the most popular crypto currency. Nothing wrong with that if you\x92re comfortable with converting your honestly earned dollars into crypto. But South Florida\x92s cybercrime detectives also say crooks are using the growing number of Bitcoin machines for nefarious purposes. They say the machines, though perfectly legal, are also largely unregulated and are often used to \x93wash\x94 dirty money \x97 cash that has come from drug dealing, robberies or other illegal activities. When it\x92s easy to invest in cryptocurrency online, Miami-Dade Cyber Crimes Task Force Cmdr. George Perera questions the need for the Bitcoin ATM machines, which don\x92t leave much of a financial trail. \x93Why have those unless it\x92s for criminal activity?\x94 he asked. Finding a machine is as easy as turning on a computer or a cellphone. The website bitcoindepot.com \x97 which helps you find a Bitcoin ATM by simply inserting an area code or city \x97 shows there are 1,691 machines in Florida and 384 between Boynton Beach and Homestead. The machines, which have gained popularity in the past few years along with cryptocurrencies, are believed to number more than 50,000 across the country. There\x92s a reason they\x92re attractive to the small businesses where they are most common \x97 they\x92re profitable at several levels. The largest manufacturers of the machines are the companies Genesis Coin and General Bytes. They sell the machines for as much as $5,000. They\x92re basically internet-connected kiosks that send cryptocurrency to a digital wallet after actual money is inserted. Machine operators pocket fees, which at Bitcoin ATMs represent a percentage of the transaction. Story continues Store operators, meanwhile, collect rents from the machine operator or owner for a three-by-three foot space. Bitcoin ATMs can be found across the country and around the world. This one is in Hong Kong. In South Florida, law enforcement agencies say they are increasingly being used for illegal money laundering. In a speech about the industry in 2021, Digitalmint director of compliance Seth Sattler acknowledged there were some \x93bad actors\x94 who gave the machine industry a bad name by continuing to allow anonymous transactions. Digitalmint is one of the leading providers of Bitcoin machines and technology in the nation. \x93While a small number of Bitcoin ATM operators go above and beyond ... others in the cash-to-crypto industry simply turn a blind eye and are complacent to these bad actors by simply applying the bare minimum customer protections, which in many cases allow for completely anonymous transactions,\x94 Sattler told the news site. The Bitcoin ATM machine looks almost exactly like its counterpart, with a computer screen, a keyboard and a slot to slide in money \x97 as if you were making a deposit at a regular ATM. And the way criminals clean money with it is as brilliant as it is simple. Here\x92s a scenario: A small-time drug dealer makes a few thousand dollars on a sale. The dealer then hires a kid for a few dollars to type in a cryptocurrency address and insert the money into the machine. In exchange, the machine spits out a Bitcoin receipt worth the same or a similar amount. Miami-Dade\x92s cyber cops say one problem is that the machines are very lightly regulated. Most have a video recording device and some ask to scan driver licenses. Crooks, though, can work around that easily, said Miami-Dade cybercrimes Sgt. Bridget Doyle. In the case of the example cited above, the kid hired by the launderer would be videotaped. And he or she could easily have used fake identification. As for checking on a crypto address, it changes for each action and is difficult to trace, detectives say. Doyle said most companies notify a shopkeeper if more than $6,000 is deposited. She said there are about a dozen companies that she\x92s aware of that now sell cryptocurrency machines. \x93When criminals move into crypto, the first thing they do is go about finding a new ID,\x94 she said.', 'Walk into a smoke shop or small convenience store in South Florida \x97 anywhere from Homestead to Boynton Beach \x97 and you might find not one, but two, ATM machines. Look closely before you try to get cash because there\x92s a big difference. One dispenses paper bills, greenbacks to spend.

George Perera questions the need for the Bitcoin ATM machines, which don\x92t leave much of a financial trail. \x93Why have those unless it\x92s for criminal activity?\x94 he asked. Finding a machine is as easy as turning on a computer or a cellphone. The website bitcoindepot.com \x97 which helps you find a Bitcoin ATM by simply inserting an area code or city \x97 shows there are 1,691 machines in Florida and 384 between Boynton Beach and Homestead. The machines, which have gained popularity in the past few years along with cryptocurrencies, are believed to number more than 50,000 across the country. There\x92s a reason they\x92re attractive to the small businesses where they are most common \x97 they\x92re profitable at several levels. The largest manufacturers of the machines are the companies Genesis Coin and General Bytes. They sell the machines for as much as $5,000. They\x92re basically internet-connected kiosks that send cryptocurrency to a digital wallet after actual money is inserted. Machine operators pocket fees, which at Bitcoin ATMs represent a percentage of the transaction. Story continues Store operators, meanwhile, collect rents from the machine operator or owner for a three-by-three foot space. Bitcoin ATMs can be found across the country and around the world. This one is in Hong Kong. In South Florida, law enforcement agencies say they are increasingly being used for illegal money laundering.

Thecryptomarket did not see a lot of change throughout the day, remaining planted at $854 billion as the altcoins balanced out each other’s ups and downs. The king coin and the altcoin king, which were already on a downtrend, further declined today but did not slip below $19k and $1k. DCRwas one of the best performing coins of the day, going up by 24.09% during the trading hours to trade at $25.67. Within a single day, the altcoin recouped all that it lost in the last two weeks. The Awesome Oscillator highlights increasing bullishness at the time of writing, so DCR might be able to keep up with this rise. CRV, following in the footsteps of DCR, flipped the active downtrend and rallied by 15.86% today, even recovering $1 in the process. If CRV closes above the current trading price of $1.01, it can flip $1 into support. And by the looks of the Bollinger Bands, the chances of the same happening seem positive as the candlestick is above the bias. The DeFi token managed to rise by 12.68% after declining by 17.03% in the last couple of days. Trading at $76.79,AAVEis yet to recover even half of the losses it experienced in June. However, it does have the investors’ support, as visible by the uptick in the Chaikin Money Flow highlighting consistent inflows. FTMfollowed the other altcoins as it barely moved, keeping its price down by 3.6% in the 24-hour span. Trading at $0.23, the DeFi token is still bearing the brunt of the bears. From here on, a drop in the prices is possible since the MACD is indicating the arrival of a bearish crossover on the charts. BATmade no progress in recovering the losses of this week as the altcoin traded at $0.36. Down by 18.88%, BAT is yet to find support to rally. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also flashed bearish signs at the time of writing as it slipped into the bearish zone.

See related article: Ethereum Merge’s Impact on NFTs View comments', 'The automotive market is currently going through massive changes while dealing with supply chain woes and an economy on the verge of recession. So, it’s fairly easy to identify automotive stocks with troubles presently. And the current bear market makes it easy to identify shares that will continue to bleed out as negative factors mount. That said, there are a few reasons the equities listed below are on this list. The pivot away from internal combustion engine vehicles continues, but at a decreased clip. Two out of the three stocks listed are EV makers. Further, indicators in China, the world’s largest electric vehicle market, are mixed. Lastly, cracks have emerged in the iBuying model, with one business remaining a cautionary tale. With these factors in mind, here are the top auto stocks to sell now. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Auto Stocks to Sell: Li Auto (LI) A front view of the Li Xiang One SUV from Li Auto. Source: Carrie Fereday / Shutterstock.com Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI ) stock faces a few obvious issues. For one, it is a Chinese-listed American Depositary Receipt (ADR). That means it represents shares of a non-U.S. company held outside the country, in this case, China. So, political risk is evident. LI stock’s peers, including Nio (NYSE: NIO ) and Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV ), suffer from the same issue. However, Li Auto is doing much worse on one important front: deliveries. In August Li Auto reported that it delivered 4,571 vehicles . Not only was that down 52% from a year ago, but it was also a 56% decline from July. Both of Li Autos’ aforementioned peers performed better. In Xpeng’s case, August deliveries increased 33% but were 17% lower than those in July. Nio saw deliveries increase 81.6% in August YOY, and actually reported a modest 6% increase in deliveries between July and August. That strongly implies that LI stock is one to avoid for any investors interested in playing the reopening in China via EV stocks. Carvana (CVNA) Carvana (CVNA stock) logo on white object in foreground as well as a high-rise building in the background Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com Story continues Carvana (NYSE: CVNA ) was one of the success stories of the pandemic as its iBuying model really took off. The company had long been noted for its aggressive sales growth. That worked well in the lower-rate environments of past quarters and years. But as rates have gone up and used car demand has slowed, the narrative surrounding Carvana has shifted. Macroeconomic forces have drastically affected the company’s fundamental picture. Sales declined in the most recent quarter, a first. And net losses reached $260 million, a massive shift from the $36 million profit a year earlier. The company admitted that it misjudged demand in the face of rising interest rates. In response to management’s error, the company chose to lay off 12% of its workforce. Investors shouldn’t reward Carvana for that misjudgment, especially those who are pro-worker. If the union slant isn’t your thing, then consider that it also misjudged the effect rising rates would have on demand for its car loans. That’s just bad business. Auto Stocks to Sell: Lordstown Motors (RIDE) A magnifying glass zooms in on the website for Lordstown Motors (RIDE). Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ: RIDE ) stock is simply one to avoid at all costs. It has been a drastic slide for what was once a very promising company. But times change, and that is reflected in prices that have slid more than 90% over the past year and a half. Lordstown Motors is now a going concern . Company CFO Adam Kroll stated that his firm’s ability to stay in business was in doubt back in May. The company ended Q2 with a $236 million cash balance. It is currently aiming for Q4 deliveries of its light-duty fleet EVs, but that is contingent upon validation scheduled for Q3. Lordstown Motors also relies on Foxconn as its primary development partner. RIDE stock currently trades for $2 which should be a strong warning to investors.

The largest cryptocurrency by market value soared past $22,000 early Monday as investors\' appetites for riskier investments returned.\nEther recently plunged over 2% from the previous day to trade just below $1,700 after rising over this threshold late Sunday. Investors continue to eye Thursday\'s expected Merge, the technological overhaul of the Ethereum blockchain that will shift its protocol from proof-of-work to more energy efficient proof-of-stake.\nIn an email, Oanda Senior Market Analyst Edward Moya attributed the two cryptos\' differing paths to some traders\' "sell the event" reaction. "It looks like some of the profit-taking with Ethereum is benefitting Bitcoin and other blockchain crypto bets such as Cardano, Solana, and Polkadot," Moya said.\nMoya added optimistically that "Many are still skeptical of a September crypto rebound, but if price action does not turn south here, momentum traders could trigger a decent move higher."\nMost other major cryptos were recently in the red ,with ADA and CRO both off more than 3% over the past 24 hours, but SOL rising over 3%.\nCryptos\' earlier gains tracked equity markets, which continued a mini winning streak with the tech-heavy Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average all climbing more than a percentage point. Investors have been feeling more upbeat about the prospect of a positive Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Tuesday showing inflation\'s momentum continuing to wane. Consensus expectations are for a CPI equal to or lower than July\'s 8.5% figure. Other indicators, including job figures, have remained strong, suggesting the economy will achieve the U.S. central bank\'s hoped-for soft landing. Asset markets may also be responding positively to Ukraine\'s successful counteroffensive in its war with Russia and the prospect of diminishing macroeconomic activity.\n"The start of the trading week was supposed to be all about the August inflation report, but Kyiv’s sudden momentum has many hoping that this moment is a turning point with the war against Russia," Moya wrote, although he noted ominously that "Russia’s strategy may now shift to attacking civilian infrastructure, which could lead to widespread blackouts and slow the current counteroffensive moves."\nIn crypto news, financial services giant Fidelity is contemplating whether to let individual brokerage customers trade bitcoin (BTC), The Wall Street Journalreported, citing people familiar with the situation. The initiative would offer the latest evidence of traditional financial services firms\' growing interest in the crypto space.\nEarlier in the day, crypto exchange Huobi said that it would delist seven tokens, including Monero and Zcash.\nIn an interview on CoinDesk\'s First Mover TV program, head economist of decentralized protocols at software company ConsenSys, said that cryptocurrencies respond to external events similar to other riskier assets.

Finance reported . Hiked fed rates, quantitative tightening, oil shocks, the war in Ukraine, and rising U.S. tensions with China have pushed Dimon to think that a mild recession has a 20% to 30% chance, while a harder recession has the same odds. But the remaining outcome? "Maybe something worse," he said. Dimon stresses it is a mistake to point to any single-point forecast as to what will happen with the U.S. economy, but he has a lot to be pessimistic about. Confidence is low, Dimon argues, “because of inflation, because of partisan politics, and a lot of leftover anger from COVID-19." He predicts inflation will not decrease the way the Fed wants it to, calling the goal to bring it down from 8% to 4% by the end of the year "highly unlikely." Dimon adds: “I wish we had the spirit that we were all here to work together, but it seems we just got nastier somehow.” CEO recession predictions The JPMorgan boss’s prediction, while vague, is direr than those of most other executives. While Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon similarly warned there is trouble ahead, urging people to prepare for worsening inflation and an approaching recession, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink told investors to keep calm and carry on—calling the economic headwinds currently roiling markets “business as usual” for long-term investors. Fink said on CNBC’s Jim Cramer’s Mad Money: “Is there a risk of a recession? Sure there is. And even if we’re in one, it’s going to be quite mild.” Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing gives the odds of a recession a 50/50 chance , while Harvard economist and economic adviser to the White House under Barack Obama, Jason Furman, says it's less likely than that . Story continues Oppenheimer & Co. chief investment strategist John Stoltzfus—the most optimistic on CNBC’s Market Strategist Survey —said the market will not only avoid a recession but will also rise 40% from where it stands today by the end of 2022. This prediction mirrored that of other Wall Street strategists, such as David Roche, who says this is a moment to realize that “things do turn around.” But there are others who are more aligned with Dimon’s “something worse” fears. Bitcoin bull Mike Novogratz gave one of the most pessimistic predictions, telling MarketWatch that the U.S. was heading into a "really fast recession," concluding “the economy is going to collapse.” Businesses tightening their belts Businesses are already contracting, with retailers like Walmart and Target slashing their profit forecasts , while tech companies including Shopify , Apple , Meta, and Microsoft announcing plans to cut workers or slow hiring. CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg had one of the bleakest predictions, saying to employees in a conference call: “If I had to bet, I’d say that this might be one of the worst downturns that we’ve seen in recent history.” This story was originally featured on Fortune.com... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/DrSkoolie', "OOP asks if she would be the asshole if her and her BF's joint savings account was put in her name because her BF is a Bitcoin day trader", 4952, '2022-09-13 00:33', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/xcqc5e/oop_asks_if_she_would_be_the_asshole_if_her_and/', '**I am NOT OP.

Second; I\'m sorry if some of my terminology is wrong. I\'m trying to be a part of my boyfriends financial decisions, but I\'m still learning.\n\nYes, the title is bad, But it\'s the truth. My boyfriend is a Bitcoin day trader. He can make in a day what I make in 2 weeks, but he can lose the same amount in an hour.\n\nWe used to have a joint savings account, but one day he gambled everything on some "sure investment" and lost the entire account, plus a lot of his own money. He said one of the "coin makers" lied to him and stole the money from everyone. That money was supposed to go to the first payment on a house and moving expenses, but it was all gone because of a scam.\n\nIt took me a lot of time to accept what happened. I\'m still not sure what I would have done if he hadn\'t given me my money back.\n\nWe\'re still planning to buy a house together, but now I demand to be the only one that can control that money.\n\nHe told me I\'m a control freak, That I don\'t believe in him or his businesses and that I\'m pissed that he makes more than me. Accept I don\'t. I literally have a stable income and benefits from my job.\n\nHe told me that he will become a millionaire and buy himself every house he wants, because now he "makes the coins himself" and he is afraid I\'m going to leave him and take his money. I told him that if we break up I\'ll open the savings account and split it down the middle so we both get what we paid for.\n\nI love him, but I don\'t trust him with my money. I feel like I\'m dating a gambler. Is it wrong of me to be this controlling? He makes me feel stupid for not understanding his work, but maybe I am just financially illiterate. I don\'t know. Thoughs?\n\n\n \n\n**Update I**\n\nI bumped him. He tried to explain to me that he stopped gambling on crypto- he started a company with some people to scam other crypto investors. Apparently he can create "meme coins" and scam people for their money. I recorded everything while he showed me some graffs. I\'m not sure what the police can do with it, but I\'m going to find out.\n\nYou were right, reddit- he is a POS\n\n \n\n**Update II**\n\n(Sorry if it\'s too much, I hate OP not delivering) I reported him at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and sent Twitter a request to close his account due to breaking Twitter policy.\n\nI\'m happy to hear other steps I can take to end his sorry ass.

Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. **Today's Key News:** ['OSLO, Norway –– Lawyers for Craig Wright, the Australian computer scientist best known for claiming to be the inventor of Bitcoin, said he will not provide any new cryptographic proof that he is Satoshi Nakamoto during his trial against Bitcoiner Hodlonaut, which kicked off in Oslo on Monday. The Norwegian trial is one of two simultaneous lawsuits centered around a series of tweets from March 2019 in which Hodlonaut expressed doubt about Wright’s claims to be Satoshi, and called him a “ fraud ” and a “scammer.” Hodlonaut, known in real life as Magnus Granath, initiated the suit in Norway to get a judge to rule that his tweets were protected by the Constitutional right to freedom of speech , and prevent Wright’s defamation suit filed in the U.K. from moving forward. During his opening statements on Tuesday, Wright’s lead attorney, Halvor Manshaus, told the court that establishing Wright’s ownership of Satoshi’s private keys –\xa0a move many of Wright’s doubters say would settle the years-long argument over his claims –\xa0isn’t enough. “Craig Wright is of the perception that to sign … with the private key, one block or the other … is not conclusive evidence of whether he is Satoshi or not,” Manshaus told the court. “It’s never one thing or the other is sufficient, you need several elements, you need the whole package.” Manshaus also read numerous excerpts from Andrew O’Hagan’s 2016 article “ The Satoshi Affair ” to show that, in addition to not feeling like cryptographic evidence would be enough to silence his critics, Wright has also struggled emotionally with the burden of “proving” his identity as Satoshi. Using passages from “The Satoshi Affair,” Manshaus argued that Wright has “difficulty trusting people” and suffered extreme emotional pain and “exhaustion” after a private signing session –\xa0intended to prove his ownership of Satoshi’s private keys – with Bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen in 2016, that caused him to break down in tears. Story continues Determining ‘Satoshiness’ without cryptographic proof Instead of cryptographic proof, Manshaus attempted to convince the court of his client’s identity as Satoshi with other pieces of evidence, including a personal history allegedly in line with the creation of Bitcoin. Manshaus’ opening statements also leaned heavily on Andresen’s 2016 assertions that he believed Wright to be Satoshi following the private signing session. What Manshaus glossed over, however, is that Andresen later retracted his support for Wright: when Andresen was deposed for Wright’s trial against the estate of his former friend Dave Kleiman, he testified that he had been “bamboozled” by Wright, who used “gobbledegook proof” to demonstrate his possession of Satoshi’s private keys. The support of former Bitcoin Foundation director Jon Matonis –\xa0who wrote a blog post called “ How I Met Satoshi ” in 2016 after a private proof session with Wright – also featured heavily in Wright’s legal team’s opening statements. Convincing the likes of Matonis and Andresen, Manshaus argued, the latter of which he described as “a very critical person in the beginning … extremely critical,” was proof enough of Wright’s claim to be Satoshi. In addition to the “proof” Wright offered privately, Manshaus detailed Wright’s childhood in Australia, during which he spent time with his grandfather, Captain Ronald Lynam, learning to code and operate a ham radio in the family “hamshack.” Manshaus also told the court about Wright’s long-standing obsession with Japanese culture (confirmed by a quote from Wright’s mother in “The Satoshi Affair”) that explained his choice of pseudonym. Satoshi, Manshaus said, means “Ash” in Japanese –\xa0and Wright chose it because he wanted Bitcoin to take down the legacy financial system, and “rise like a phoenix from its ashes.” It had the added benefit, according to Manshaus, of being the Japanese-language name of Pokemon character Ash Ketchum. (Note: CoinDesk attempted to verify this claim, and found that Satoshi has several meanings, depending on the kanji used, none of which translate to “Ash.” Furthermore, the Japanese name for Ash Ketchum is based on Pokemon creator Satoshi Taijiri’s name, according to gaming website CBR. The spelling Taijiri uses for “Satoshi” translates to “knowledge” or “wisdom.”) Wright’s academic achievements and military career –\xa0both of which appear to have been exaggerated (for example, Australian public military records seem to indicate that Wright was discharged by the Royal Australian Air Force only a year after being accepted into a nine-year officer program) –\xa0were also presented to the court as evidence that Wright had the skills, knowledge and experience required to create Bitcoin. KPMG report During their opening statements on Monday, Hodlonaut’s attorneys told the court they’d commissioned multinational auditing firm KPMG to authenticate Wright’s evidence submitted in the case. The report is expected to show that many documents submitted by Wright are either manipulated or unverifiable, and will be discussed when a KPMG representative testifies on Friday. Though the contents of the 73-exhibit report have not yet been made public, Wright’s attorneys attempted to preemptively debunk it during their statements on Tuesday, telling the court that there are reasons for documents to appear manipulated (such as being opened in two different versions of Microsoft Word) that don’t necessarily point to intentional manipulation. The current trial in Norway is not the first time Wright’s alleged history of submitting false\xa0 evidence has influenced court proceedings. In the Kleiman vs. Wright trial held last November, lawyers for the plaintiff called witnesses who testified about Wright’s business dealings, suspected forged signatures and backdated documents. They also referenced Wright’s legal issues with the Australian Tax Office (ATO), who concluded after a lengthy investigation that Wright had backdated and forged contracts provided during an audit, and was pretending to be Satoshi to get around his tax issues (Wright, for his part, claimed that the ATO was the victim of a hack that resulted in funky documents). Read more: In Craig Wright Trial, Plaintiffs Lay Out Pattern of Fraud, Deceit and Hubris In Wright’s libel suit against British podcaster Peter McCormack, a U.K. judge ruled that Wright had “advanced a deliberately false case” and put forward false evidence, and awarded him a single British pound in damages (Through his lawyers, Wright told CoinDesk he intends to appeal the “adverse findings” because his evidence was “misunderstood.”) The hashtag dilemma Another key theme of Manshaus’ opening statements on Tuesday was the hashtag Hodlonaut used in his March 2019 tweets, #CraigWrightIsAFraud. By using a hashtag, Manshaus argued, Hodlonaut amplified his criticisms of Wright by creating a repository for similar tweets using the same hashtag. “His statement directly encourages other people to follow up the attack against Craig Wright with the same language, the same form,” Manshaus said. “We are going to see that encouraged a rapid and toxic attack against Craig Wright.” Manshaus told the court that when Wright complained to Twitter about the hashtag and subsequent criticism, his account was deleted. He also said that the online criticism of Wright spilled over into other social media platforms, including a Telegram group called “Bitcoin Plebs” that encouraged its approximately 400 members to “organize a bitcoin pleb attack on some shitcoin scammers,” which included putting “pressure on exchanges to delist these scams.” Manshaus admitted there was no evidence that Hodlonaut was involved in this Telegram group, but told the court: “Could be that Holdonaut has nothing to do with these people except they see the tweet and react … but still, we believe that it’s as likely or more likely that Hodlonaut himself is more involved than that, that he’s in one of these groups, that he’s taking the initiative here…” Manshaus went on to say that the “BSV extinction event” (referring to the massive delisting of Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision, the fork of Bitcoin created by Wright) the members of “Bitcoin Plebs” were angling for was a result –\xa0direct or indirect –\xa0of Hodlonaut’s criticism. The exchanges that delisted BSV, however, including Binance and Kraken, stated that they did so because of Wright’s behavior, including doxxing and suing Hodlonaut and others. Witness testimony begins With opening statements concluded, witness testimony will begin on Wednesday. Wright and Hodlonaut are both expected to testify. On Thursday and Friday, the court will hear testimony from additional witnesses: Wright’s cousin, Max Lynam; a so-far unnamed expert from KPMG who will go over the findings of the report; Dr. Ami Klin, an autism expert who diagnosed Wright with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and testified on his behalf at the Kleiman vs. Wright trial last year; and Stefan Matthews, an associate of Wright’s. Andresen and Matonis are not expected to testify.', 'OSLO, Norway –– Lawyers for Craig Wright, the Australian computer scientist best known for claiming to be the inventor of Bitcoin, said he will not provide any new cryptographic proof that he is Satoshi Nakamoto during his trial against Bitcoiner Hodlonaut, which kicked off in Oslo on Monday. The Norwegian trial is one of two simultaneous lawsuits centered around a series of tweets from March 2019 in which Hodlonaut expressed doubt about Wright’s claims to be Satoshi, and called him a “ fraud ” and a “scammer.” Hodlonaut, known in real life as Magnus Granath, initiated the suit in Norway to get a judge to rule that his tweets were protected by the Constitutional right to freedom of speech , and prevent Wright’s defamation suit filed in the U.K. from moving forward. During his opening statements on Tuesday, Wright’s lead attorney, Halvor Manshaus, told the court that establishing Wright’s ownership of Satos **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [21190.32, 20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06, 21534.12, 21398.91, 21528.09, 21395.02, 21600.90, 20260.02, 20041.74, 19616.81, 20297.99, 19796.81, 20049.76, 20127.14, 19969.77, 19832.09, 19986.71, 19812.37, 18837.67, 19290.32, 19329.83, 21381.15, 21680.54, 21769.26, 22370.45, 20296.71] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The $1700 level is an area that of course is a large, round, psychologically significant figure, but it’s also an area where we had seen a lot of support multiple times over the last couple of years. If the market were to break down through this area, and I believe this area extends down to the $1680 level, then it could open up major dumping of gold. At that point, the market is likely to drop down to the $1500 level. The market will more than likely see a huge increase in the US dollar or yields as a result as well. The 50 Day EMA is rapidly approaching the $1800 level, which I believe will define the trend. As long as we stay below the $1800 level, you have to be concerned about the downside. Pay close attention to interest rates in the United States, because if they start to climb, that could cause a lot of problems for this market. Furthermore, the market is more likely than not going to see a lot of negative correlation to the US Dollar Index, which continues to scream to the upside. In other words, it’s more likely than not that we will see sellers come into this market at the first signs of exhaustion. Ultimately, I think a lot will ride on the Federal Reserve and its meeting next week, but if we break down ahead of there, all hell can break loose to the downside. Longer term, I like gold but I think now is not the time to own it. Gold Price Predictions Video for 20.07.22 For a look at all of today’s economic events, check out our economic calendar .

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast sales would be unchanged.\nThe dollar has been supported by the view that the Fed will keep tightening policy aggressively.\nMany market participants believe that recent data including this week\'s surprise increase in consumer prices in August is likely to give the U.S. central bank enough reason to announce a third consecutive 75-basis-point rate hike next Wednesday.\n"The details of the retail sales report weren\'t nearly as strong as the headline. If you break down the retail sales report, it was generally a bit softer," said Adam Button, ForexLive chief currency analyst.\nWith the dollar, "the default mode in the currency market is to buy the dollar unless there\'s a good reason to sell it," he said.\nThe dollar was up 0.2% against the yen at 143.47, having fallen 1% on Wednesday on news that the Bank of Japan had checked on exchange rates with banks - a possible preparation for yen buying. The dollar index was up 0.1% at 109.69.\nInvestors continued to debate whether Japanese authorities really would intervene to support their currency, which has fallen sharply this year.\nA record Japanese trade deficit for August has also underscored the bearish trend for the yen.\nJapanese currency officials "stepped up their rhetoric this week, and the market is really still calling their bluff. It\'s very tough to talk a currency down when the fundamentals are so divergent," Button said.\nEarlier in the session, the Swiss franc rose against the euro to its strongest level against the single currency since January 2015, when the Swiss National Bank scrapped its minimum exchange rate of 1.20 francs per euro.\nMeanwhile, the dollar was down 0.1% against the Swiss franc.\nThe SNB also meets next week and there is some speculation in the market that it could join the Fed and ECB with outsized rate increases. Money markets are fully pricing in a 75 basis-point rate rise from the SNB, according to data from Refinitiv.\nThe euro was up 0.2% at $0.9996. It hit a 20-year low of $0.9864 last week.\nIn crypto markets, Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum inventor and co-founder, wrote on Twitter that a major software upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain aimed at slashing its energy usage has been completed.\nThe token, which underpins the ethereum network, was last down 8.6%. Bitcoin was down 2.2%.\n========================================================\nCurrency bid prices at 4:00PM (2000 GMT)\nDescription RIC Last U.S. Close Pct Change YTD Pct High Bid Low Bid\nPrevious Change\nSession\nDollar index\n109.6900 109.6000 +0.10% 14.663% +109.9200 +109.4100\nEuro/Dollar\n$0.9996 $0.9978 +0.17% -12.08% +$1.0018 +$0.9956\nDollar/Yen\n143.4650 143.1750 +0.19% +24.61% +143.7950 +142.8000\nEuro/Yen\n143.40 142.87 +0.37% +10.04% +143.6700 +142.5700\nDollar/Swiss\n0.9610 0.9623 -0.11% +5.37% +0.9641 +0.9558\nSterling/Dollar\n$1.1469 $1.1542 -0.60% -15.17% +$1.1548 +$1.1461\nDollar/Canadian\n1.3229 1.3169 +0.46% +4.63% +1.3240 +1.3155\nAussie/Dollar\n$0.6703 $0.6748 -0.65% -7.78% +$0.6770 +$0.6696\nEuro/Swiss\n0.9606 0.9604 +0.02% -7.36% +0.9612 +0.9533\nEuro/Sterling\n0.8713 0.8646 +0.77% +3.73% +0.8720 +0.8641\nNZ\nDollar/Dollar $0.5968 $0.6002 -0.54% -12.78% +$0.6025 +$0.5965\nDollar/Norway\n10.1690 10.1115 +0.65% +15.52% +10.1800 +10.0890\nEuro/Norway\n10.1670 10.0557 +1.11% +1.54% +10.1723 +10.0569\nDollar/Sweden\n10.7260 10.6873 +0.55% +18.94% +10.7444 +10 **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [20779.34, 22485.69, 23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06, 21534.12, 21398.91, 21528.09, 21395.02, 21600.90, 20260.02, 20041.74, 19616.81, 20297.99, 19796.81, 20049.76, 20127.14, 19969.77, 19832.09, 19986.71, 19812.37, 18837.67, 19290.32, 19329.83, 21381.15, 21680.54, 21769.26, 22370.45, 20296.71, 20241.09] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

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:** ["For short-to-medium-term investors, the markets are at an interesting point. Historically, September has been the worst-performing month for the S&P 500 in terms of average returns. However, November, December and January are among the best months. Therefore, now might be a good time for investors to begin looking for undervalued growth stocks to buy. A turbulent September could present an opportunity to buy such names at a discount and then reap the benefits in the fourth quarter. Of course, given the headwinds investors face, most notably high inflation, interest rate increases and a potential recession, it\x92s possible it may take longer to see bullish returns. Yet, these market conditions also give longer-term investors a chance to buy quality growth stocks for the next five years. Therefore, my list of growth stocks to buy in September focuses on those that could be traded in the near term for Q4 gains and should also be considered for a long-term portfolio.

Down 38% in the past 12 months, CPNG stock is attractive from a valuation perspective. In addition to the broader sell-off in high-multiple stocks, shares shave been hit by growth and profitability concerns. However, the company surprised by achieving positive adjusted EBITDA of $66 million in the second quarter. This prompted management to raise its full-year guidance after previously calling for adjusted EBITDA losses 0f $400 million for 2022. Bank of America recently reiterated its \x93buy\x94 rating on CPNG stock, forecasting the company will deliver adjusted EBITDA of $284 million and $659 million in 2023 and 2024, respectively. With economies of scale, the company is likely to deliver healthy cash flows in the next few years. Story continues A big addressable market in Korea coupled with international expansion means there is headroom for top-line growth.

Source: Shutterstock Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) miner Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ: RIOT ) hit a low just above $4 in early July. Since then, the stock is up 84% even as Bitcoin struggles to trend higher. Assuming a scenario where Bitcoin rallies in the final quarter of the year, the stock can potentially deliver multi-fold returns. Even if Bitcoin trends marginally higher, RIOT is likely to outperform due to a big expansion planned for the next few months. In August, Riot reported a hash rate capacity of 4.8 exahash per second (\x93EH/s\x94). The company expects to expand capacity to 12.6EH/s by January 2023 , which will translate into significantly more Bitcoin mined. At the end of the second quarter, Riot reported cash in hand of $270.5 million. Cash and digital assets provide ample headroom for aggressive expansion through 2023. Riot is also attractive for the long term with Bitcoin halving due in 2024. Li Auto (LI) Li Auto(Li Xiang) brand logo and electric car in store. A Chinese EV(electric vehicle) company Source: Robert Way / Shutterstock.com Chinese electric vehicle maker Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI ) rallied sharply in May and June, surging back above the $40 level before reversing lower. With positive business catalysts, I believe LI stock is likely to trade at new highs in Q4. Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows sales of new energy vehicles, which include EVs, more than doubled in August on a year-over-year basis to hit a record 666,000 units . EV sales accounted for the vast majority of these sales at 522,000 units. If the positive momentum in Chinese EV sales continues, Q4 is likely to be a good one for investors in LI stock. Li Auto has commenced commercial deliveries of its second model, the Li L9\xa0SUV . As sale gains traction, vehicle deliveries will accelerate further. Li Auto has healthy margins and the company has already been reporting positive free cash flows. The company also reported cash and equivalents of $8\xa0billion. A strong cash buffer will support aggressive retail network expansion. DraftKings (DKNG) A man opens the DraftKings (DKNG) app from his iPhone. DraftKings is an American daily fantasy sports contest and sports betting operator. DKNG Stock Forecast Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG ) is another hot growth stock that has plunged, down 30% year to date and 68% on a 12-month basis. But shares are up nearly 80% since mid-June. In all probability, the stock has bottomed out and further gains seem likely. Management expects revenue to increase 65% this year to $2.1 billion and to post an adjusted EBITDA loss of $800 million. In the likely event the company guides for significant improvement in adjusted EBITDA for 2023, the stock could go ballistic. It\x92s worth noting that DraftKings\x92 average revenue per monthly unique payers rose from $80 in Q2 2021 to $103 in Q2 2022. Once sales and marketing cost stabilizes, there is ample room for EBITDA margin improvement. As more states legalize online sports betting and gambling, the addressable market will continue to swell. The long-term outlook for DKNG stock is therefore positive. Solid Power (SLDP) Smartphone with logo of American battery company Solid Power Inc. on screen in front of business website. Focus on center-left of phone display. Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com The market for solid-state batteries is likely to expand significantly in the coming decade, making QuantumScape (NYSE: QS ) an attractive name in the industry. However, in the near term, I like Solid Power (NYSE: SLDP ) due to a big impending upside catalyst. Solid Power announced in June that the company has completed the installation of its pilot production line. This will be used for the production of EV scale solid-state cells. By the end of the year, Solid Power expects to begin delivering battery cells for validation testing by its automotive partners Ford (NYSE: F ) and BMW (OTCMKTS: BMWYY ). If pre-production deliveries are within the timeline, the stock is likely to trend higher. Furthermore, if the validation testing yields positive results, it should provide another upside trigger in 2023. Therefore, SLDP stock is attractive not just for Q4 but also for the next 12 months. Tenable (TENB) a business man pressing a button with an open lock on it that's connected to a symbol of a cloud and various security related icons Source: Shutterstock Cybersecurity company Tenable (NASDAQ: TENB ) is another undervalued pick on my list of growth stocks to buy due to positive industry tailwinds . Despite the firm\x92s strong financial performance, TENB stock has disappointed, down 29% year to date. But a sharp reversal may be in the cards. In the second quarter, the company reported revenue growth of 26% on a year-over-year basis to $164.3 million. With 95% recurring revenue in the quarter, there is clear free cash flow visibility. It\x92s worth noting that 64% of Tenable\x92s Q2 revenue came from the Americas, while the Asia-Pacific region accounted for only 11%. Tenable believes that the total addressable market for cyber exposure is worth $25 billion. Given the cyber security challenges globally, there is ample room for growth outside the United States. TENB stock hit an all-time high of $63.61 in April. With sustained growth, I would not be surprised if that high is tested in Q4. That would imply potential upside of 62% from current levels. Transocean (RIG) Transocean logo on a laptop screen. RIG stock. Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock With crude oil prices holding well above $80 per barrel even with economic headwinds, oil and gas stocks are likely to remain investor favorites. Offshore driller Transocean (NYSE: RIG ) is up 17% year to date. This positive performance was helped by a 16% single-day jump following the release of better-than-expected second-quarter results.\xa0I expect good numbers for Q3 and Q4, which is likely to translate into a big rally for shares. Transocean has bagged some big orders over the past few months. At an attractive day-rate, these orders would imply further EBITDA margin expansion. The company already has an order backlog of $7.4 billion , which provides clear cash flow visibility. With a liquidity buffer of $1.9 billion and expectations of swelling free cash flows, Transocean is also positioned to deleverage. As credit metrics improve, the stock is due for re-rating. I would not be surprised if RIG stock surges by 50% from current levels within the next two quarters.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization surpassed $24,000 earlier in the day and remained above that threshold in the afternoon. BTC’s hourly charts (below) show that the bulk of the push higher occurred between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. UTC time before the price steadied. This article originally appeared in Market Wrap , CoinDesk’s daily newsletter diving into what happened in today's crypto markets. Subscribe to get it in your inbox every day . Bitcoin's gains have for the most part dovetailed with traditional markets. On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.09%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index, meanwhile, fell 0.10% and the S&P 500 slipped 0.12%. Correlations between BTC and the three indexes remain above 0.60, indicating a strong relationship between BTC price movements and stocks. Correlations range between -1 and 1, with higher figures signaling a stronger relationship. Investors often consider those correlations when the price movement in one group of assets outpaces the price movement in another. Because BTC’s spike occurred outside of U.S. trading hours, traders may be watching whether the cryptocurrency's price continues to align with equities. Ether (ETH) was recently up 3.5%. Most of the increase also came during overnight hours in the U.S. Altcoins rose, as well, with avalanche (AVAX) up 2% and chainlink (LINK), up 9%. ● Bitcoin ( BTC ): $23,929 +3.1% ● Ether ( ETH ): $1,784 +4.1% ● S&P 500 daily close: 4,140.06 −0.1% ● Gold: $1,806 per troy ounce +1.9% ● Ten-year Treasury yield daily close: 2.77% −0.07 Bitcoin, ether and gold prices are taken at approximately 4pm New York time.

Bitcoin’s hourly chart moves into overbought territory, reverses course intraday Investors continued to eye hourly and daily charts for signs of the crypto market’s future direction, which remains on tenterhooks amid mixed economic data. BTC’s hourly chart showed significant trading activity from 10 a.m. to noon (UTC) on above-average volume. Story continues During that period, bitcoin rose about 3% with U.S. markets opening to bitcoin trading over $24,000. The 10-period relative strength index ( RSI ) rose to 83 as bitcoin’s price increased. RSI is a technical indicator that measures price momentum. Readings below 30 imply that an asset is oversold, while a reading above 70 implies that an asset is overbought. BTC prices appear to have retreated following the RSI reading of 83 that occurred during the 4 a.m. candle. A candle is a visual image on charts to describe a price hike. The bitcoin/U.S dollar hourly chart, along with RSI. (Glenn Williams Jr./TradingView) Bitcoin’s daily chart provides additional context to today’s move BTC prices should continue to advance along a trendline noted in the Aug. 3 Market Wrap . BTC’s price could crack $28,000, although investors shouldn’t interpret that market as a price target. Trendlines can be useful to traders in determining the direction and strength of a price move, particularly when used in conjunction with other technical indicators. The trendline here is being used jointly with the RSI. The overbought reading (see chart above) showed an overbought reading of 70, but the daily chart shows a reading of 60, which falls below the overbought threshold. BTC prices appear to have retraced from their sharp uptick in early morning trading, while maintaining what appears to be a general uptrend that began around July 13. The bitcoin/U.S. dollar daily chart, along with the RSI (Glenn Williams Jr./TradingView) Derivatives markets also indicate a positive sentiment BTC funding rates have turned positive again, following a brief turn negative on Aug. 3. Funding rates represent payments to traders who are long or short bitcoin. Those payments serve as a proxy for market sentiment. A positive funding rate implies that traders who wish to be long BTC (have a positive view of the digital currency) are willing to pay traders who are short (have a negative view). Negative funding rates imply the reverse. All told, positive funding rates often imply that crypto traders are bullish. BTC funding rates have been positive for all but five days since July 1.

Pierre Poilievre, 43, has branded the country\'s decades-high inflation "Justin-flation" to hammer Mr Trudeau\'s public spending levels as he becomes his main challenger. It was this combative style that propelled him to a landslide victory last Saturday in the Canadian Conservative Party\'s leadership election. Mr Poilievre\'s crushing defeat of his centrist rival, Jean Charest, in a 68 per cent to 16 per cent vote, has been taken as a sign that something is shifting in the country\'s political landscape. Long seen as a beacon of winning progressive politics on the global stage, Mr Trudeau\'s Liberal Party stood in stark contrast to the bruising political discourse in the US. But after seven years in power, the Liberal government has been hampered by political scandals, a housing crisis, high living costs and voter fatigue. Mr Trudeau\'s approval rating currently stands at just 36 per cent, with 56 per cent of Canadians disapproving of him, according to the Angus Reid Institute. Poilievre and his wife on stage - REUTERS/Blair Gable Mr Poilievre\'s message has resonated with angry voters, waging a social media-fuelled grievance campaign that has painted Mr Trudeau, 50, as an out-of-touch elite and the mainstream media as a Left-wing, globalist cabal. He has riveted his Right-wing base with his fiery exchanges, attacking Mr Trudeau\'s vaccine mandates and economic management while promising to champion “anti-wokeism” and make Canada the "freest nation on earth". “When government ruins the finances of the nation, it ruins the lives of its citizens,” he said in a sharp-edged attack on the Prime Minister this week. Liberal gatekeepers and corporate oligarchs are apoplectic that I\'m going to scrap their crony capitalism and replace it with free enterprise, entrepreneurial, bottom-up capitalism. For them, more leftist tears. For you, a system that puts you back in charge of your life. pic.twitter.com/bTaalawzQn — Pierre Poilievre (@PierrePoilievre) August 16, 2022 Conservative strategists say Mr Poilievre may be the leader with the skills to defeat Mr Trudeau in the next election. Dan Robertson, chief strategist to Mr Poilievre\'s predecessor Erin O\'Toole, said he was "very optimistic" about his chances in the next election. Story continues "It\'s going to be an epic campaign of unprecedented ferocity. Both Trudeau and Poilievre are very combative and they play hard," he said. Mr Trudeau does not have to schedule an election until October 2025, but Mr Robertson believes there is every possibility the prime minister will call it earlier. "It\'s going to be one of the most interesting political battles of my lifetime," he said. "You have a Prime Minister who has now won three elections and whose campaigning abilities are undoubted going up against a younger guy who, by all appearances, has the same campaigning qualities." Much like Donald Trump, Mr Poilievre has succeeded in attracting people who have previously felt disengaged from politics. Trudeau and Poilievre greet each other - Canadian Press/Shutterstock His campaign claims it signed up a record-breaking 311,958 new party members. "The numbers are astronomical - much, much higher than in previous Conservative leadership elections," said Mr Robertson, who has known Mr Poilievre for over a decade. And just like Mr Trump, Mr Poilievre has drawn standing-room-only crowds at campaign rallies, rarely seen in Canadian leadership races. The new Conservative leader has also proved adept at tapping into public anger. He embraced the trucker convoys that crippled the capital Ottawa and other cit **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [23389.43, 23231.73, 23164.63, 22714.98, 22465.48, 22609.16, 21361.70, 21239.75, 22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06, 21534.12, 21398.91, 21528.09, 21395.02, 21600.90, 20260.02, 20041.74, 19616.81, 20297.99, 19796.81, 20049.76, 20127.14, 19969.77, 19832.09, 19986.71, 19812.37, 18837.67, 19290.32, 19329.83, 21381.15, 21680.54, 21769.26, 22370.45, 20296.71, 20241.09, 19701.21, 19772.58] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The dollar weakened and government bond yields fell. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.08%, to 32,831.23; the S&P 500 lost 0.05%, to 4,143.27; and the Nasdaq Composite added just 0.04%, to 12,662.28. The broad Euro STOXX 600 was up about 0.75% on Monday, led by cyclical and growth stocks, helping it recover losses from Friday. The MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 47 countries, added just 0.22%. Higher rates remained squarely in focus for investors. "The rise in inflation and the Fed's reaction to it has been a real headwind for valuations this year," Morgan Stanley strategists wrote in a note on Monday. "However, it's also been a tailwind for earnings. Now, we are on the other side of that mountain, and operating leverage is rolling over likely more than the consensus expects." Indeed, business investment appears to be an early victim of red-hot U.S. inflation and rising interest rates, according to new U.S. government data. The strong U.S. jobs data raised the stakes for the July U.S. consumer prices report due on Wednesday, which could see a further acceleration in inflation. "We see inflation staying above the Fed’s 2% target through next year," BlackRock Investment Institute strategists wrote in a note on Monday. "We think the Fed will keep responding to calls to tame inflation until it acknowledges how that would stall growth." U.S. Treasury yields dipped as investors continued to digest the jobs report and how the Fed will react. Fed funds futures traders are now pricing for a 67.5% chance of another 75-basis-point rate increase in September, and for the Fed funds rate to rise to 3.65% by March, from 2.33% now. Benchmark 10-year note yields fell to 2.764% on Monday, after getting as high as 2.869% on Friday, the highest since July 22. Two-year yields were last at 3.217%, after reaching 3.331% on Friday, the highest since June 16. DOLLAR EXCEPTIONALISM? The U.S. dollar fell nearly 0.5% versus a basket of six major currencies to 106.19, giving up some gains after strengthening on the jobs boom and the jump in yields. Foreign exchange analysts were bullish on the U.S. currency's prospects. "Data like this will further any thoughts about 'U.S. exceptionalism' and is very positive for the USD against all currencies," said Alan Ruskin, global head of G10 FX strategy at Deutsche Bank, referring to the U.S. jobs statistics. The euro squeezed out slim gains to reach $1.02. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which tend to act as a barometer for risk appetite, gained. Bitcoin was last up 3.3% at $23,952. Gold broke higher on Monday as the dollar and Treasury yields retreated. Spot gold rose 0.8% to $1,787 per ounce, after dropping 1% in the previous session. U.S. gold futures added 0.66% higher to $1,784. Oil prices edged up on Monday, hovering near their lowest levels in months in volatile trading as positive economic data from China and the United States spurred hopes for demand growth despite recession fears. U.S. crude rose 1% to $89.91 per barrel and Brent also added about 1%, to $95.91 per barrel.

Bitcoin is deliberately made inefficient with proof of work as using provable work that is external to the blockchain is the only means to create real costs where the game theory supports a model where it is both profitable to secure BTC and extremely costly to attack it.\n\nWith PoW (proof of work) you would need to be a tremendous amount of effort in order to censor 1-2 blocks with building many asic mining farms, and than burning the electricity continuously in order to attack bitcoin.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncPyMUfNyVM\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUd8ZGgm6Qo\n\nWith Proof of stake all I need to do is be an early adopter(s) , hack/kidnap an early adopter(s) , or convince many users to join a interest bearing bank account by staking their coins with my company(done many times before) to attack the network. Since Proof of work involves outside resources one can always objectively see and measure the hashrate and sources in realtime and one can cutoff such an attack because it involves outside resources.\n\n\nThere are many different variations of proof of stake but the simplest way to understand this is by looking at those blockchain\'s as a democratic consensus mechanism where everyone\'s vote is weighted based upon how many coins or stake they control. Their staked coins than have an opportunity to create a block without proof of work and a dev controlling 51% of the coins gets to virtually mint ~51% on average of all the blocks . This presents another concern as the coins typically need to be in "hot wallets" to do so instead of cold storage leading to a more insecure environment.\n\nSince most PoS coins have massive premines where only a small number of devs control most of the coins this also presents another concern as those devs can be targeted by states , hackers, or attackers or as we often see with altcoin devs they pump and dump a project and than move onto a competing project to repeat this cycle over and over again thus have an incentive to attack their old project.\n\nWith Proof of work , seizing the coins or stake of any individual or group of people doesn\'t effect the process of mining or securing the network directly at all . They can only try and spook the market by dumping coins at a discount while individuals like myself will happily buy up all the discounted coins.\n\nPoS is being sought because it is a clever marketing ploy to attract environmentalists who are concerned about the electricity used in PoW mining. They may have valid concerns that I also share but they fail to see all the external costs in PoS.\n\nhttp://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pos-still-pointless/\n\n\nThere is a fallacy which rests on a false assumption that total amount electricity burnt must always correlate with the price of bitcoin. In reality the **cost** of electricity burnt will tend to correlate with the price of bitcoin.\n\nThis means that as bitcoin continues to compete with all other forms of electrical demand worldwide the price per kW across the board will rise and thus decreasing the amount of electricity needed for bitcoin even if the price of bitcoin continues to rise and making bitcoin more and more efficient. This also has the side effect of encouraging more and more efficient and greener forms of cooling and electrical production.\n\nWatch this video -\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T0OUIW89II\n\n\nhttps://www.danheld.com/blog/2019/1/5/pow-is-efficent\n\n\nhttps://medium.com/@hugonguyen/work-is-timeless-stake-is-not-554c4450ce18\n\n\nhttps://www.coindesk.com/the-last-word-on-bitcoins-energy-consumption\n\n\nhttps://www.coindesk.com/no-concentration-among-miners-isnt-going-to-break-bitcoin\n\n\nhttps://medium.com/the-bitcoin-times/proof-of-work-the-fundamental-laws-of-physics-and-nature-33d95167c57a\n\n\nhttps://medium.com/@nic__carter/its-the-settlement-assurances-stupid-5dcd1c3f4e41\n\n\nhttps://medium.com/@hugonguyen/proof-of-stake-the-wrong-engineering-mindset-15e641ab65a2\n\nhttps://medium.com/@hugonguyen/proof-of-stake-private-keys-attacks-and-unforgeable-costliness-the-unsung-hero-5caca70b01cb\n\n\nhttps://medium.com/@jimmysong/mining-centralization-scenarios-b74102adbd36\n\n-----------------\n\nFiat currency and PoS coins cost at least the same amount of resources to create , regulate and secure as Bitcoin.\n\nThere is an inescapable reality for any asset or currency that as it increases in value the production costs and costs to secure increase as well . This is demonstrated in the economic axiom: MC=MR\n\n“Rent” always forces production costs (MC) to always equal sale prices (MR)\n\nPoS currencies and fiat are simply more abstract and complex forms or Proof of Work that use more human involvement (which uses tremendous amounts of resources and has a tremendous environmental impact) as a PoW coin like Bitcoin. Humans instead of ASICs are shouldering more of the work to create, regulate , and secure each of those currencies; This is "work" whether it involves burning electricity directly or food and electricity that humans consume to perform their work. This is an inescapable economic reality. The more valuable something is the more it will cost to secure it because the more effort will be made to steal and or control it. This applies to any currency or asset.\n\nThis is also better understood with the dollar auction dilemma. In a hypothetical auction where a bidding war is fighting over the right to mint a 1 dollar bill how much do you think people will be willing to spend for this power ?\n\nProof of work is the most important innovation in Bitcoin and the real reason why blocks , in a blockchain, exist.\n\nThe key aspects as to why Proof of work is so important and cannot be replaced by PoS are:\n\n1) **Fair Coin Distribution** No scammy ICO , prem...

Digital users are leaning into their sexuality and exploring IRL (in real life) fantasies on an endlessly expanding menu of virtual experiences. Developers all over the world are making a decent (and at times opulent) living meeting demand for the technology, and platforms are looking the other way as long as it means more users and total value locked (TVL). Flash back to 2022: The sex work industry is just starting to dip its toes into the blockchain, and the writing is already on the wall. Emerging tech is enabling creativity and innovation across industries, and it would be naive to assume those forces won’t eventually bring “the oldest profession” into a cypherpunkian utopia in some truly unique ways. James Key is the CEO ofAutonomy Network, a decentralized automation protocol designed for Web3 builders. This piece is part of CoinDesk'sSin Week. After all, the adult entertainment industry has been an early adopter of new technologies. If the metaverse is meant to reflect people’s wildest fantasies, then sexual exploration will definitely be a part of the scene, aswe’re already seeing in virtual dating. What would a Web3 take on OnlyFans look like if anyone could create a sex worker avatar? What’s stopping someone from opening up a sex club in the metaverse? Can anyone date a digital version of a celebrity without their consent? After all, Lebron James and Ariana Grande are currently playable aslicensed skins on Fortnite, but my guess is they aren’t clamoring to get their likeness on the “casual encounters” corner of an adults-only metaverse. While the specific answers to these questions remain to be seen, there are certainly some ambitious developers working on some version of all these things at this very moment. What is presently clear is that the business of sex relies on facilitating personal intimacy and privacy. No other industry places such a large premium on it. This presents a compelling use case for blockchain technology, both for back-end security processes and, perhaps more interestingly,NSFWmetaversal encounters. One of Web3’s biggest value propositions is its ability to simultaneously enhance users’ privacy and online verifiability. Let’s talk about the power of data in the context of personal preference and privacy. For instance, the physical appearance of the female robot inthe 2014 movie “Deus Ex Machina”was based on the protagonist’s porn search history, which comes across as an invasive overreach to most watchers. We encounter similar algorithms and machine learning tools that study our behaviors to manipulate our desires every time we use proprietary software, like Google Search. This is exactly what Web3 aims to disrupt. It would be entirely possible to encrypt data reflecting someone’s sexual preferences into an on-chain avatar that evolves based on their changing preferences. This could be done without ever divulging any personal information or search history, in-platform or to outside parties. Read more:Should Crypto and Porn Get Intimate?/ Opinion This avatar could then be applied to something likeVex Ruby, a virtual cam girl that engages with viewers in real time, or to create an interactiveautonomous non-fungible token (NFT)like Alice, aGPT-3-powered virtual humanthat was auctioned off at Sotheby’s for nearly half a million dollars. Alternatively, people’s custom sex avatars may also be discretely ported to an adult metaverse, where real-world sex workers could apply it as a skin when interacting with a client in a virtual setting secured by a privacy-enhancing blockchain network. As virtual reality (VR) sexuality researcher Angelina Aleksandrovichputsit: “Sex workers can jump into any kind of avatar that the client wants to play with [in the metaverse]; they can change the world on demand and play out different scenarios that the clients want.” All of which is to say, virtual reality will be key to creating many of the actual sensory experiences future sex workers and clients participate in, but blockchain technology will be key to making these experiences more individualized, accessible and secure. Erotic encounters in the virtual realm are not beholden to the constraints of the physical world or even our own biological realities (see Viro Playspace’s“smokin’ hot dragon babe”), especially with the rise of haptic bodysuits and other sensory devices. Perhaps more importantly, VR can also be leveraged to help people safely experiment with their sexual identity and gender expressions. If so, it will be blockchain technology that helps ensure that participants on both sides of the market are kept safe while they explore, in terms of both physical wellbeing and desired level of anonymity. After all both sex workers and clients want better ways to vet their counterparts while protecting their own right to privacy. Decentralized, on-chain reputation systems have more potential to address this issue than any other existing technology. The point of applying new technologies to existing industries is to make future products and services fundamentally better in some enduring way – not for the sake of adding new bells and whistles. In that sense, blockchain’s role in enhancing the adult entertainment industry’s discovery process and quality of engagement – while enhancing participants’ safety and control – will be an interesting story to follow, even for individuals who aren’t participating in the space.

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 Herbert Lash NEW YORK (Reuters) -The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest in over a decade on Monday and the dollar strengthened as investors were on edge before an expected hefty Fed interest rate hike this week to tackle inflation. The 10-year\'s yield shot to 3.518%, its highest since April 2011, before backing off. The higher yield helped strengthen the dollar and made gold less attractive as concerns about the economy in light of higher rates cooled risk taking. But stocks on Wall Street rallied as hedge funds positioned themselves on the off-chance the Fed\'s tone is less onerous than markets expect when policymakers raise rates on Wednesday, said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. "There\'s positioning going on just in case there\'s something that comes out of the Fed that proves to be less hawkish. I don\'t think anyone is predicting that\'s going to happen," he said. "The majority of people are in the negative camp right now." Stock trading on Wall Street and in Europe was choppy for most of the session as central banks around the world were expected to increase borrowing costs this week and slow economic growth. FedEx Corp\'s warning last week of a global demand slowdown has weighed on U.S. equities as investors reassess stock valuations, said King Lip, chief investment strategist at Baker Avenue Asset Management in San Francisco. "Our biggest concern now, and the reason why you\'re seeing such choppiness in the market today, is that there\'s more uncertainty about earnings now, in addition to the concern over rate hikes," Lip said. "We may be going in for a hard landing rather than a soft landing and the hard landing being the Fed perhaps over-tightening in a situation where we\'re already seeing the economy decelerate," he said. Wall Street rallied in thin, late trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.64%, the S&P 500 gained 0.69% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.76%. Earlier in Europe, the broad STOXX 600 index closed down 0.09% and MSCI\'s U.S.-centric all-country world index gained 0.38%. Overnight in Asia stocks lost ground. Investors heard a hawkish message from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole banking symposium in August, but then remained in denial until it became clear inflation was stubbornly high, said George Goncalves, head of U.S. macro strategy at MUFG Securities Americas Inc in New York. After the past three Fed meetings, there have been relief rallies in bonds and equities as markets interpreted Powell as being dovish. But a rally this time is unlikely when policymakers conclude a two-day meeting on Wednesday, he said. Story continues "People are wising up to the fact that the Fed means business," he said. "The only way to contain this inflation is to get ahead of it, and they\'re still behind the curve. Peak hawkishness is getting closer, but we\'re not there yet." Markets are pricing in a 75 basis points hike, with futures showing an 18% chance of a full percentage point increase on Wednesday, according to CME\'s FedWatch Tool. Markets also indicate a real chance that rates could hit 4.5% by March as the Fed is forced to tip the economy into a recession to subdue inflation. The two-year yield, a barometer of future inflation expectations, climbed to a fresh almost 15-year high of 3.970%. European government bond yields also rose. [GVD/EUR] TIGHTENING TIME Most of the central banks meeting this week - from Switzerland to South Africa - are expected to hike, with markets split on whether the Bank of England will move by 50 or 75 basis points. But China\'s central bank cut a repo rate by 10 basis points to support its ailing economy. Chinese blue chips still finished 0.1% lower. The other exception is the Bank of Japan, also due to meet this week, and which has shown no sign of abandoning its ultra-easy yield curve policy despite a drastic slide in the yen. Trading was thin in Britain as markets were closed in observance of the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth. The dollar rose 0.21% against the yen, backing off from the 24-year peak of 144.99 two weeks ago amid increasingly strident intervention warnings from Japanese policymakers. The dollar index rose 0.055%, with the euro up 0.06% to $1.0021. Oil prices edged up in volatile trading as worries of tight supplies outweighed fears that global demand could slow due to a strong dollar and possibly large rate increases. Brent settled up 65 cents at $92.00 a barrel, while U.S. crude rose 62 cents to settle at $85.73. U.S. gold futures settled 0.3% lower at $1,678.20 an ounce.

News of the move damaged bitcoin's recent break-out and revealed how sensitive the cryptocurrency market is to the actions of the world's richest person, Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Bitcoin dropped 3.1% in 24 hours, to $23,000 and ethereum (USD-ETH) fell 4.5%, to hover around the $1,500 mark. The electric car maker's earnings report, released on Wednesday, revealed that it sold the majority of its bitcoin holdings during the second quarter of 2022. Tesla's bitcoin holding was worth about $2bn at the end of 2021, but the price of the volatile digital asset has fallen by more than 50% this year. Read more:Crypto live prices Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the move was to maximise the company's cash position. During the earnings call Musk explained the reason, stating: "We sold a bunch of our bitcoin holdings because we were uncertain when the COVID lockdowns in China would alleviate. "So it was important for us to maximise our cash position, given the uncertainty of COVID lockdowns in China." This was in reference to the recent mass testing and lockdowns implemented in major Chinese cities. Despite the sell-off, the Tesla boss confirmed the electric carmaker has not sold any of its dogecoin (DOGE-USD) holdings. Musk also confirmed that Tesla is open to increasing its bitcoin holdings in the future.

Musk then claimed that cryptocurrencies were not something the company was primarily interested in. He stressed that Tesla’s main goal is “to accelerate the advent of sustainable energy.” He added: "We're neither here nor there on cryptocurrency." In 2021, Tesla made a $1.5bn investment in the world's largest cryptocurrency. This was followed by an announcement it would accept bitcoin as payment. The February 2021 revelation of the electric car maker's bitcoin holdings caused a surge of demand for the cryptocurrency. However, in May of 2021, the electric car maker abruptly reversed its position on bitcoin payments causing the price of bitcoin to plummet. Musk released a tweet in mid-May citing the environmental damage from bitcoin mining as the reason for the halt in accepting payments in the cryptocurrency.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization had sunk to a three-month low under $18,400 as investors during Asia and Europe trading hours sent most risk assets lower amid heightened recessionary fears.\n"Not only just cryptocurrencies but also all risk assets in general are being sold off in anticipation for the pending ... worldwide recession," Adam See, senior vice president and head of digital assets at Global X ETFs, told CoinDesk TV\'s "First Mover" program.\nEther was recently changing hands just under $1,400, a more than 3% gain from the previous day and up more than 8% from its perch under $1,300 early Monday. The second-largest crypto in market value had dropped to its lowest level since July.\nMost other major cryptos were in the green after climbing over the course of the day with XRP and SOL each recently up more than 4% and ALGO rising over 7%. Among the biggest losers, TRX and UNI were both off approximately a percentage point.\nStocks\nCrypto prices tracked equity indexes, continuing a trend they have largely followed this year, with the tech heavy Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) each climbing the better part of a percentage point. The gains followed the Nasdaq and S&P\'s worst weeks since June and came as the yields on 10-year and more interest-rate responsive two-year yields reached heights not seen for well over a decade. Crypto prices typically move in the opposite direction of yields.\nThe National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index declined three points to 46, a ninth consecutive monthly drop that offered the latest evidence of the once hot housing market\'s cooling. The index measures building activity. Investors will be scrutinizing the release of housing starts on Tuesday and the U.S. central bank\'s decision on its next interest rate hike later in the week. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to continue its monetary hawkishness by boosting the rate by 75 basis points for a third straight time.\n"I think 75 is probably the right number in terms of the Fed interest rate hike, Global X ETF\'s See said, although he added that Fed Chair Jerome Powell\'s comments about how he views the market place\'s "would be really telling."\nSee said the Fed\'s aggressiveness suggested that "we are probably in the middle innings of a recession, hopefully toward the later end." But he also noted optimistically that the "crypto winter feels different," highlighting "strong venture capital funding flowing into crypto and Web3 companies" and TradFi companies\' soaring interest in the digital asset space."\n"There\'s a lot of compelling development within this crypto winter," he said.\nMeanwhile, as CoinDeskreported, despiteMergehype, investors remained cautious on the blockchain’s native tokenETH. Investment products tied to ETH saw a fourth straight week of outflows in the period ended Sept. 16, with the amount removed exceeding new money added by $15.4 million, according to CoinShares.\nIn a Monday newsletter, Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer for asset manager Arca, called ether\'s recent, steep price decline "surprising, but not entirely unexpected."\n"Ultimately, it appears the Merge itself did not immediately attract new buy interest, or new buyers are about to get a nice discount courtesy of momentum traders with itchy trigger fingers," Dorman wrote but added: "Long ETH for the next six to 12 months as ETH benefits from being the most pure play blockchain investment and because it\'s just simple math."\n[{"Asset": "XRP", "Ticker": "XRP", "Returns": "+8.5%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}, {"Asset": "Cosmos", "Ticker": "ATOM", "Returns": "+7.0%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Terra", "Ticker": "LUNA", "Returns": "+6.1%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}]\n[{"Asset": "Chainlink", "Ticker": "LINK", "Returns": "\\u22122.6%", "DACS Sector": "Computing"}, {"Asset": "Polkadot", "Ticker": "DOT", "Returns": "\\u22120.7%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}]\nThe Mysterious Whereabouts of Do Kwon and the Complications of Extradition\nBy Sam Reynolds\nTaiwan has a government, clearly defined territory, a currency, a national language, and a military; but because of pressure from the People’s Republic of China, it’s excluded from most of the world’s international organizations, including the United Nations, World Health Organization, International Civil Aviation Organization and Interpol.\nNow one might think, if a country is excluded from Interpol, it might be a nice place to hide out if you have an Interpol"red notice" attached to your name, as Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs may have after South Korean prosecutors asked the international police organization to apply the tag to Kwon.\nSouth Korea hasextradition treatieswith 31 countries worldwide, but there are 195 members of Interpol. Even if Kwon is in a country that doesn’t have a formal extradition treaty with South Korea, “extradition is possible based on a guarantee of reciprocity from the requesting state that it will accept extradition requests from Korea for identical or similar offenses,” according to a briefing note prepared on the topic by Korean lawyerspublished by consultancy GIR Insight.\nThe latest episode in the Terra saga highlights not only the options Korean authorities may have to take Kwon into custody but also the challenges of extradition. Since launching its International Fugitive Round-Up and Arrest (INFRA) program in 2009, Interpol operations have led to the location or arrest of about 1,000 fugitives, according to the law enforcement agency’s website, but international relationships with law enforcement issues can be complicated.\nIn a tweet, Kwoninsistedthat he was not "on the run."\nTaiwan is cooperative\nDespite Taiwan’s exclusion from Interpol, authorities there have shown great interest in international cooperation on judicial matters and mutual legal assistance by signing agreements withmany countriesworldwide. South Korea isn’t on the list, but it has an agreement on the “exchange of judicial materials” with Taiwan.\nLocally, the government hasupdated its extradition lawsto align with international practices. Thelaw saysthat Taiwan can refuse extradition requests on limited grounds including: “risks to Taiwan\'s sovereignty, national security, public order, or international reputation.”\nA previous case\nPerhaps the mostfamous caseof Taiwanese authorities working with international counterparts involves another tech scofflaw: Cody Wilson, the first person to create a 3D-printed gun.\nWilson’s claim to fameinvolved selling the files– not the gun itself – to print these weapons, and has had moderate success defending himself under the principle of code-is-speech before eventuallyreaching a settlementin 2018 that allowed the continued sale of these files.\nBut shortly after the settlement, Wilsonwas a wanted manon charges of soliciting a prostitute who was underage. Wilson’s passport was quickly canceled, and authorities in Taiwan arrested him on grounds of unlawful immigration status and delivered him to U.S. Marshals waiting at the Taipei airport. Back in the U.S., Wilson laterpleaded guilty to a lesser charge.\nSince then there have been many otherlower-profile cases of extradition, but they have not been tied up in court or disregarded because of a lack of a treaty.\nAside from Taiwan, another place Kwon might be lying low is Palau, which is alsonot a member of Interpol.\nBinance CEO Changpeng Zhao is said to be afrequent visitor to the island country, as Binance helpedset up its Digital ID initiative.

One of the biggest obstacles to Ethereum's expansion has been the environmental impact of the proof-of-work mechanism, according to VanLoon. “We see this as a barrier for global adoption,” he said. Read more:Bitcoin's Price May Crash After Ethereum's Merge, Researcher Says With the switch to proof-of-stake, Ethereum’s energy consumption should be cut by 99.95%. That could increase the appeal of Ethereum to institutions that have concerns with the blockchain’s environmental impact. Smaller computers requiring less power would be able to use the Ethereum network. “With proof-of-stake, you can be a block producer and a participant in the consensus of Ethereum with something as small as a laptop, or a Raspberry Pi, in some instances,” Van Loon said.Raspberry Pisare small single-board computers that can be used to run a local Ethereum node. Van Loon added that the beauty of proof-of-stake means "you simply have something at stake, saying I'm behaving in an honest way, rather than relying on this work mechanism" – referring to miners and their energy-hogging computers. Read more:Ethereum After the Merge: What Comes Next? Ethereum's security will also improve, he added. When the switch is made, he said, it could cost more than $11 billion at today’s prices to attack the blockchain, much more expensive than an attack through the proof-of-work mechanism. Decentralization would be another benefit, said Van Loon.

Many players in the crypto lending industry are going through a liquidity crisis, struggling to cope with surging withdrawal and redemption requests. It feels like every day there is another firm that busts in crypto headlines. What are some of the best strategies to survive the crypto winter and what does the future hold for the industry? As an active market participant since 2017, JKL Group offers their perspective on the current market environment. "Having gone through the crypto winter of 2018-2020, it is clear to us that similar patterns are unfolding this time round. Same as in the previous market cycle, risk-averse mentality and sound liquidity management processes are key in ensuring the perseverance of business in the long run," says JKL Group Chairman Jingyuan Ye. JKL Capital - the financial arm of JKL Group - offers two quantitative asset management strategies, both of which offer low correlations with the underlying crypto market. Their positioning as volatility trading strategies makes the asset manager agnostic to recent market moves. In addition, due to liquidity concerns, JKL Capital has always held back from any DeFi exposure. "We feel the liquidity is not yet mature in DeFi. Proper infrastructure has to be built around the space and proper risk management processes have to be put in place to improve the liquidity," adds Jingyuan. Lin Cheung, CEO of JKL Group, addresses some of the best practices to deploy during (and even better before) the crypto winter: "Always be mindful of risk and leverage, regardless of the markets in which players operate. High returns always mean high risks and whenever investment managers or products offer high returns, be aware that risks are involved - explicitly or implicitly. JKL Capital runs arbitrage strategies on an unlevered basis, and since the end of 2021 we haven't seen arbitrage opportunities delivering more than 10-15% p.a. So when more and more so-called ‘market-neutral' products started popping up across DeFi with an APY of 20%+, it was a clear signal to us that either some unexplained risks were embedded or excessive leverage was employed in those DeFi strategies." Another pain point to address in this market are the altcoins. Due to lower number of investors and thin liquidity, low-cap crypto projects took the biggest hit in the last few months. All the way until the end of this year and heading into 2023, we will begin to see a lot of token unlocks for projects launched during last year's bull. This busy unlock schedule will put even more selling pressure on altcoins. Therefore, focusing on major crypto pairs and working with major exchanges is a good idea to mitigate idiosyncratic risks and liquidity risks exhibited in altcoins. However, by far the largest risk events by magnitude and by impact have been connected to insolvency concerns of some of the biggest crypto firms. "Diversification is the most effective way to manage counterparty risks. From a diversification standpoint, we have multiple providers, and we can quickly shift our exposure when necessary - in particular shift our exposure away from risky counterparties," commented Lin. "On the other hand, we always engage with all the major participants in the market. Through our resources and through constant qualitative and quantitative monitoring of counterparties we are able to identify and take immediate action if necessary to mitigate our counterparty risks." All these practices are important measures which would ensure business continuity and sustainable growth over the long run. After all, crypto winters are not forever, and the next Bitcoin halving event is set for 2024. Crypto winters are generally a great time for innovation and franchise building. "As a group, we have a broad diversification across business lines: OTC, Asset Management, Lending and Mining. All of the core business lines generate strong cash flows, allowing us to reinvest into future expansion of our business despite the crypto winter," said Jingyuan. In the spirit of taking the market share while the market is turbulent, JKL Mining has recently announced the launch of a 35MW mining farm. The first facility in Texas will host over 10,000 machines or 35MW and is scheduled to go live in July 2022. Targeting a total investment over USD 60 million, the company plans to rapidly build out to 85MW of capacity by the end of 2022 and scale to over 250MW in 2023. "I would like to specifically highlight our expansion into mining: right now is a perfect moment for us to build out our mining operations. Launching the farm in July will enhance our financial position and help us to expand further," summed up JKL Group Chairman.

August’s consumer price index (CPI) data showed an unexpectedly high 8.3% increase in prices versus expectations for an 8.1% increase. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 6.3% versus forecasts of 6.1% • Bitcoin (BTC)prices fell immediately on the news, declining 5% during the 12:00 UTC hour, when the inflation data was released. BTC was recently up more than 9%. Volume was robust, with trading volumes approximately seven times higher than its average 20 day volume. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap fell below $21,000. • Ether (ETH)prices moved in concert with BTC, falling 6.27% during the 12:00 UTC hour, and more recently about 7.5%. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap also traded on higher-than-average volume. ETH’s decline comes ahead of its much-anticipated Merge upgrade from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, now expected to occur around Sept. 15. Economic Calendar:Today’s inflation figures will get the bulk of attention across markets. The larger-than-expected inflation number sets up an aggressive interest rate hike during the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) next meeting The CME FedWatch Tool, which is used to evaluate the probabilities of FOMC rate moves, now forecasts an 82% probability that rates will increase by 75 basis points (down from 91%), during the upcoming Fed meeting. The 9% chance of a 50 basis point increase set Monday has gone to zero Tuesday. Markets now project an 18% chance of a 100 basis point increase. U.S. Equities:Traditional equities markets were down, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and S&P 500, down 3.9% and 4.3%, respectively. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite declined 5.3% and is on track for its worst period since May 2020 Commodities:The price of crude oil fell 0.2% while that of natural gas increased 1.9%. Despite being viewed as a traditional safe haven asset, gold fell 1.5%. Copper prices declined 2.2% TheDollar Index (DXY)increased 1.22%, maintaining its inverse relationship to BTC prices.

BTC and ETH markets all seeing red. There’s little confusion around what occurred in crypto and traditional markets Tuesday. The 8.3% inflation figure disappointed investors across the board, the odds increased that the Federal Reserve will continue its hawkish pace of interest rate hikes and assets sold off as a result. As highlighted in an earlier CoinDeskreport, annual inflation slowed from July’s 8.5% reading but was less than expectations of 8.1%. Month over month, inflation figures disappointed as well, given the forecast of a 0.2% decline in prices as opposed to the 0.1% increase that occurred. Over the past two weeks, Fed officials have reiterated their commitment to quell inflation, which stands near four-decade highs. They now have additional data to support their stance. How investors respond to Fed actions is an evolving theme that may continue to rock already volatile asset markets. Investor expectations for a 75 basis point increase have remained consistently high and are likely to continue at that level until the FOMC meets Sept. 21, even if the possibility of a 100 basis point hike was floated Tuesday. Both BTC and ETH’s hourly charts highlight the sharp sell-off during the 12:00 UTC hour. Both assets moved into oversold territory when using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as a measuring stick for price momentum as well. A distinction between the two assets is the bid that ETH seemed to catch during the 15:00 UTC hour, which accelerated in subsequent hours. In Monday’sMarket Wrapthe divergent catalysts for BTC and ETH were mentioned. Where BTC appears completely tied to macroeconomic news, ETH prices are also tied to this week’s Merge, which is expected to occur within the next 24-48 hours. The pause and reversal of ETH prices shown below likely implies optimism ahead of the Merge, as traders see an opportunity to accumulate oversold ETH. BTC prices paused their decline during the 17:00 UTC hour, but on what appears to be far less conviction than ETH’s reversal. • Ethereum Proof-of-Work Fork Timing Posted:TheMergeis a technological overhaul of theEthereumblockchain that will shift its protocol fromproof-of-work(PoW) toproof-of-stake(PoS).

That’s why it’s called “the merge” - existing execution layer and new PoS layer merged.\n\nFor Bitcoin to move to “Nano technology”, it would need to change both layers. Below I am making rough analogy that blockchain is Bitcoin’s execution layer.\n\n**1. “Execution” layer: Can Bitcoin change from blockchain to blocklattice (DAG)?**\n- this will be very challenging if not impossible to change to DAG while preserving existing balances, addresses & private keys. With Nano/DAG, each address has own blockchain. So Bitcoin existing ledger history would need to unmerge, separating all transactions belonging to 1 address to it’s own blockchain. And with Bitcoin’s UTXO model outputs of a block cannot be mapped 1:1 to input, believe it’s not mathematically possible to detangle Bitcoin’s 1 blockchain to many blockchains required for DAG.\n- assuming that easiest way is simply to create new network from scratch, with airdrop and claim method for existing Bitcoin holders. But transaction history and even balances would not be preserved. For example, if Satoshi is not alive anymore he won’t be able to claim. What happens with his Bitcoin stash? Does it get removed from supply and essentially redistributed to claimants? Or does it go to new developer fund? Either way, it’s not 1:1 mapping so essentially it’s not Bitcoin anymore.\n\n**2. Consensus layer: Can Bitcoin change from PoW to ORV?**\n- this could be feasible, but would need establish representatives from scratch\n- similar like Ethereum PoS had to change from miners to establish validators, it was running new PoS layer separately for long before the merge could be done seamlessly\n- Nano here has advantage as already has established network of reputable representatives\n\nI have limited understanding of Bitcoin, Nano and Ethereum.

Featured Image for Vanity Global OÜ Featured Image for Vanity Global OÜ TALLINN, Estonia, Sept. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vanity, a blockchain solution corporation, has recently announced its partnership with Safemoon; alongside the already established partners and more to come, Vanity Global is quickly growing as the leader in personalization in the crypto space. In order to achieve this goal, Vanity has developed a way to generate any wallet address with a custom prefix, up to 11 leading characters. An ordinary address consists of random letters and numbers, for example 0x0xb1c7f\x85, which can lead to stressful operations while sending funds to and from an exchange/wallet due to countless double checks. Vanity offers a real solution to this problem by giving crypto users a way to customize their wallet address, like 0xC0DE911.., and instantly recognize it as their own, simplifying the process of making a transaction. Security is the main aspect of the company. Vanity operates using two different methods combined: user-end generation and split key generation. Acknowledging the technical process is required to understand the difference inside a key pair. Any wallet generated on the blockchain consists of three parts: a public key, an address, and a private key. Both the public key and the address are visible to everyone and do not compromise the security of the wallets. While generating an address with Vanity two pieces are required to be merged in order to generate the custom wallet private key, which is the "password" that is used to import and interact with the wallet. The user-end generation is a serverless step made locally on the customer\'s browser, ensuring that zero data travels on the internet. This operation generates a new key pair, and the customer is required to save the "Vanity Key" and sends to the team the public key, officially requesting the generation of the wallet. Story continues The Split Key generation now takes place, where the public key and high computing power is used by Vanity to generate another key, which is not yet the customized one and saved inside the same database. At this point, the customer has everything needed to create the private key of the desired address and using again user-end generation, it only requires pasting the Vanity Key saved and clicking one button to generate the final Vanity address private key. For the best user experience, Vanity has simplified this process to a total of three clicks and does not require any advanced knowledge from the customer side. We wanted to make transacting easier and safer, removing the feeling of anxiety of losing funds earned with hard work by sending to a wrong address and not noticing it. Vanity brings a new layer of security and peace of mind to all crypto users. T.

Getty Images Warren Buffett is famous for saying “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.” If you invested in cybercoins, the news has not been good lately. Are you wearing your bathing suit?\xa0 What to do?\xa0 Is time to take your profits … or cut your losses? The international investment community was shocked and saddened to learn of the utterly unexpected news that millions of investors worldwide were victims of a pyramid scheme involving cryptocurrency accounts controlled by “founders” in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia, and Moscow. The SEC charged 11 people in the case in August. No, wait. Nobody was shocked or surprised. This was the least surprising story of 2022.\xa0 If you were playing “Password” and the first two clues were “Cryptocurrency” and “Moscow,” the only rational guesses would be “Pyramid” or “Ponzi.”\xa0 Full credit for either answer. Domestic actors have been at work as well.\xa0 The founder of California’s Titanium Blockchain Infrastructure Services recently pleaded guilty to a cryptocurrency fraud scheme that raised $21 million. The cryptocurrency world has been conjured out of thin air in the last decade or so.\xa0 Across the globe, new crypto products have appeared, along with new uses for those products, and new markets for the exchange of these products.\xa0 It includes crypto derivatives, synthetics, and electronic arbitrage trading systems run by bots. For better or worse, this is now a $10 trillion plus marketplace that is largely unregulated. SEE MORE What Happens to Your Crypto Assets When You Die? Most of the participants in that space are sincere entrepreneurs seeking to carve out a “first mover” advantage in a new and currently lightly regulated frontier. But a recent exposé by Bloomberg on the stablecoin business questions the backgrounds of some of the entrepreneurs that have introduced crypto products.\xa0 And naturally, because some of the uses of cryptocurrency – money laundering comes immediately to mind – are highly attractive to persons who would prefer to remain clear of regulators, taxing authorities and criminal investigators, cryptocurrency has attracted its share of out and out criminals. Story continues Even where criminal activity isn’t present, the “wild west” unregulated cryptocurrency world is fraught with more risk than the more conventional banking and investment world. Warren Buffett’s bridge partner Bill Gates has recently stated that cryptocurrencies are “100% based on greater fool theory,” that is, the idea that overvalued assets will go up in price when there are enough foolish investors willing to pay more for them.

Former foreign secretary Liz Truss now has the keys to 10 Downing Street, having beaten former chancellor of the exchequer Rishi Sunak in the leadership race. Read more:Crypto live prices Now a tweet by Truss has resurfaced revealing her views on cryptocurrencies and private enterprise, indicating that she may take a hands-off approach to regulation. In 2018, when Truss was chief secretary to the Treasury, she tweeted: “We should welcome cryptocurrencies in a way that doesn't constrain their potential. “Liberate free enterprise areas by removing regulations that restrict prosperity.” When Truss was UK secretary of state for international trade, she spoke about blockchain technology during a House of Commons debate on UK-US trade, where she expressed the wish to “create great opportunities in areas such as blockchain". She said: “We want to achieve a world-leading data and digital agreement, underwriting data flows but also dealing with issues like blockchain and artificial intelligence, thereby making sure that we and the US are leading the world and able to share these economic opportunities.” Read more:'Facebook killers': Top five web3 challengers ready to disrupt social media In recent years crypto-firms have been exiting Britain after failing to meet the UK's Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) stipulations on anti-money laundering, which led to fears that the UK would lose its place as a global leader in financial innovation. The appointment of Liz Truss as prime minister could be a fresh opportunity to set favourable regulatory conditions to promote the UK as a world-leading crypto-hub. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) waffled around the $19,900 (£17,314) mark for the ninth straight day, and ether (ETH-USD), the second-largest cryptocurrency, was up 6.4% to $1,667. Herbert Sim, founder of UK Venture Capital fundTheBitcoinMan.com, said "looking at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)’s policies would be a good reference point" for Truss to ensure a more crypto-friendly UK. "As the managing director of MAS, said 'yes to Digital Asset Innovation, no to cryptocurrency speculation'," Sim said. "This is something I agree with, that governments should balance allowing technology companies to innovate, without over-regulating and stifling innovation, and at the same time protecting and highlighting to their citizens from extreme risky investment products." Sim added that the UK is particularly well-placed to leverage its global reputation as a centre for financial innovation to lead the way on practical regulation and a level-headed approach to regulating this market. "Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, the UK's robust and resilient securities laws can be adapted and shaped to deal with a new underlying asset class, without overburdening and hamstringing the unique value proposition of cryptocurrencies, especially in areas where the usual regulations would not apply." Yahoo Finance UK looks at five reasons why the UK could become a leading hub ofcryptoinnovation under Liz Truss. Liz Truss was not the only candidate in the Conservative party's leadership race to reveal a soft spot for the controversial yet rapidly expanding crypto-ecosystem. Throughout 2021, rival Rishi Sunak became increasingly vocal about the potential of the UK to become a centre for innovation in blockchain technology. In April this year, the former chancellor said: “It’s my ambition to make the UK a global hub for crypto asset technology, and the measures we’ve outlined today will help to ensure firms can invest, innovate, and scale up in this country.” At that time Sunak also outlined how the FCA would lead what he described as a “crypto sprint". Read more:Top 5 crypto blunders that paid millions of dollars to unknown accounts This was followed by theFCA's first 'CryptoSprint' conferencein May where the financial regulator discussed how it would attempt to balance innovation in the blockchain industry with standards that protect consumers. The regulator is not known for being a proponent of digital asset technology, but the two-day meeting gave many in the crypto-ecosystem a more solid grounding in how the FCA will approach regulating the sector. The conference showed that the FCA would probably take a tiered regulatory approach to crypto assets. The discussion focused on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins and crypto assets. American multinational investment company BlackRock (BLK) is preparing its clients for an institutional bitcoin buy-in. The world's largest asset manager holds around $10tn in assets and even small fraction of this capital directed into the crypto-sector would see a large increase in the value of particular digital assets. With a current market capitalisation of approximately $1tn, the cryptocurrency ecosystem is dwarfed by the stalwarts of institutional finance. BlackRock is now offering its clients exposure to bitcoin and other blue-chip cryptocurrencies through its private BTC trust and partnership with American exchange Coinbase (COIN). Read more:High on VR: Virtual reality experience boosts mood similar to psychedelics The partnership would allow BlackRock’s institutional Aladdin clients access to Coinbase’s institution-targeted products, including Custody and trading. In order to index bitcoin in a secure and accurate way, Blackrock is using UK-based CF Benchmarks to offer a benchmarking standard for their newly launched bitcoin fund. The move by Blackrock shows that despite the woes of "crypto-winter", the adoption of digital assets by traditional finance has increased as institutional exposure grows. In July, the UK's Treasury announced it would seek to regulate “certain types” of stablecoins as a form of payment. A proposed set of laws enclosed within theFinancial Services and Markets Billwas introduced to the lower house of the UK's Parliament in July. The bill is designed to reform EU-derived legislation governing the UK’s capital markets and is making its way through the legislative procedure of the UK government, currently in its second reading in parliament. The bill would official designate stablecoins for use in the settlement of payment obligations, can be transferred, stored or traded electronically, and can use technology supporting the recording or storage of data, which may include distributed ledger technology.

This is the first time provision for the regulation of crypto assets and stablecoins have been introduced to the UK parliament is aimed to allow stablecoins to be brought within a regulatory framework so that they could become a recognised form of payment in the future. The first British pound-backed stablecoin was also introduced in July. The digital asset is called Great British Pound Token, or GBPT. The cryptocurrency is backed 100% by the Great British Pound Sterling (GBP) held in bank accounts. This means that GBPT, also known as "pound token", can be redeemed one-for-one with pound sterling. New research fromMerchant Machineindicates that the UK ranks number three in the world for crypto-usage. The data discovered that nearly 5% of the UK's population has some exposure to the market through ownership of cryptocurrencies. The number of businesses in the UK that accept cryptocurrency as a direct form of payment is starting to grow and now stands at 23. There are now 32 bitcoin ATMs in the UK and the monthly search volume of cryptocurrency terms has grown to 21,183, according to Merchant Machine. The UK has set forth legislation to create a "financial market infrastructure sandbox". This will allow crypto-firms domiciled in the UK to innovate. In April 2022, astatementfrom HM Treasury said: "The government will legislate to establish a financial market infrastructure (FMI) 'Sandbox' that will enable firms to experiment and innovate in providing the infrastructure services that underpin markets, in particular by enabling Distributed Ledger Technology to be tested. "The government further confirmed that it will initiate a research programme to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of using DLT for sovereign debt instruments."

As factories close in the UK, one area where the UK government could revitalise the nation's economic outlook is through progressive plans to support crypto adoption. Britain has already shown an affirmation to move in this direction with a commitment to regulate stablecoins and the British Law Commission's proposals in July to create a new classification and deliver wider recognition and legal protections for digital assets.... - 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:** ['Pound Dollar Sterling Slump Budget Recession Kwasi Kwarteng Shares, bonds, commodities such as oil, even gold and its supposed digital rival Bitcoin: all dropped in unison on Friday as fears of a global recession , not to mention Vladimir Putin’s escalation of the war in Ukraine, unnerved investors everywhere. The American dollar, still the world’s ultimate “safe haven” asset, was about the only thing to gain; other currencies, especially the pound as investors gave the thumbs down to Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-Budget, lost value against the greenback. This is how the day played out. The pound The most dramatic development yesterday was the crash in the value of sterling. At the start the day it bought $1.125 but had fallen to $1.116 at 9.30am, about when Mr Kwarteng started to speak. It fell sharply over the afternoon to a low of $1.089 at 5.30pm before a slight recovery to $1.09 – a fall of 3.1pc. A month ago, a pound was worth $1.18, down from $1.37 in mid-January and $1.44 at its post-Brexit-vote peak in April 2018. It has declined 24pc since then. Until yesterday many commentators saw the pound’s weakness as a consequence of the strength of the dollar rather than a problem with the British currency, because other world currencies had also lost value against the greenback. Sterling’s fall accelerated yesterday while the decline in the euro and yen against the dollar was more muted, although its weakness was undoubtedly driven in part by the global turmoil. The euro fell by 1.4pc on Friday and the yen by less than 1pc. Stocks The FTSE 100 briefly dipped below the psychologically important level of 7000 on Friday. After starting the day at 7155, it fell steadily all morning to 6994 at noon before recovering slightly to close at 7019, a fall of just under 2pc. The blue chip index is dominated by international companies, but the more domestically focused FTSE 250 fell by almost the same amount. Normally a falling pound would prop up multinational stocks relative to domestic ones because their overseas earnings become more valuable, but this relationship broke down on Budget day. Story continues This echoes what happened the day after Britain voted for Brexit, when panicking investors sold everything and forgot that the falling value of the pound – it crashed severely that day – would be good for the FTSE 100’s companies. Only in the subsequent days did the penny drop, something that may be repeated next week if the pound fails to recover. Other countries’ stock markets also fell severely. On Wall Street the Dow Jones fell below 30,000 to close 1.6pc lower at 29,590. The Nasdaq market for technology stocks lost 1.8pc. In France the benchmark CAC 40 fell by just 0.2pc, however, while in Germany, the Dax lost 2pc. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index dropped by 2.3pc. Bob Schwartz, senior economist at Oxford Economics, the consultancy, said: “Financial markets are throwing in the towel, now fully convinced the Fed [America’s Federal Reserve] will do whatever it takes to curb inflation, including bringing on a recession. Stock prices plunged to the lowest level of the year on Friday and [bond] yields staged another leap upward in anticipation of a string of additional rate hikes.” Commodities Fears of a recession caused the oil price to fall by 4pc to $86.71 on Friday, compared with highs of about $130 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This was dwarfed by the 10.2pc fall in the price of iron ore – another key economic bellwether. Bonds Gilts, or British government bonds, also slumped on Friday as the biggest losers in a wider European sell-off. One 10-year issue fell from £106.40 to £103.50, a decline of 2.7pc, and a German equivalent lost a more modest 0.5pc to Eu97.2 from Eu97.7. American bonds did better, again reflecting America’s safe haven status: one 10-year issue gained a fraction from $92.02 to $92.10. Gold Gold is normally the asset that investors turn to when everything else is falling but not on Friday: it fell by 1.7pc from $1,673 to $1,644. Bitcoin, touted by its proponents as a digital replacement for gold thanks to its scarcity, lost a similar 1.8pc from $19,400 to $19,094.', 'Shares, bonds, commodities such as oil, even gold and its supposed digital rival Bitcoin: all dropped in unison on Friday asfears of a global recession, not to mention Vladimir Putin’s escalation of the war in Ukraine, unnerved investors everywhere.\nThe American dollar, still the world’s ultimate “safe haven” asset, was about the only thing to gain; other currencies, especially the pound as investors gave the thumbs down to Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-Budget,lost value against the greenback.\nThis is how the day played out.\nThe most dramatic development yesterday was the crash in the value of sterling. At the start the day it bought $1.125 but had fallen to $1.116 at 9.30am, about when Mr Kwarteng started to speak. It fell sharply over the afternoon to a low of $1.089 at 5.30pm before a slight recovery to $1.09 – a fall of 3.1pc.\nA month ago, a pound was worth $1.18, down from $1.37 in mid-January and $1.44 at its post-Brexit-vote peak in April 2018. It has declined 24pc since then.\nUntil yesterday many commentators saw the pound’s weakness as a consequence of the strength of the dollar rather than a problem with the British currency, because other world currencies had also lost value against the greenback.\nSterling’s fall accelerated yesterday while the decline in the euro and yen against the dollar was more muted, although its weakness was undoubtedly driven in part by the global turmoil. The euro fell by 1.4pc on Friday and the yen by less than 1pc.\nTheFTSE 100 briefly dippedbelow the psychologically important level of 7000 on Friday. After starting the day at 7155, it fell steadily all morning to 6994 at noon before recovering slightly to close at 7019, a fall of just under 2pc.\nThe blue chip index is dominated by international companies, but the more domestically focused FTSE 250 fell by almost the same amount. Normally a falling pound would prop up multinational stocks relative to domestic ones because their overseas earnings become more valuable, but this relationship broke down on Budget day.\nThis echoes what happened the day after Britain voted for Brexit, when panicking investors sold everything and forgot that the falling value of the pound – it crashed severely that day – would be good for the FTSE 100’s companies. Only in the subsequent days did the penny drop, something that may be repeated next week if thepound fails to recover.\nOther countries’ stock markets also fell severely. On Wall Street the Dow Jones fell below 30,000 to close 1.6pc lower at 29,590. The Nasdaq market for technology stocks lost 1.8pc. In France the benchmark CAC 40 fell by just 0.2pc, however, while in Germany, the Dax lost 2pc. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index dropped by 2.3pc.\nBob Schwartz, senior economist at Oxford Economics, the consultancy, said: “Financial markets are throwing in the towel, now fully convinced the Fed [America’s Federal Reserve] will do whatever it takes to curb inflation, including bringing on a recession.

Yet is that really the case?\nThis past week, the Federal Reserve did exactly what most people predicted: It raised the fed funds rate by 75 basis points – for the third time in a row. For months now, consumer prices have surged at a rate not seen since thefourth season of Diff’rent Strokes– so raising borrowing costs, it’s hoped, will make money a little more expensive and thus cool the hot economy.\nHigher interest rates fuel demand for dollars (to put it in terms crypto folks can understand, remember how everyone was buying UST because of the near 20% APYs the Anchor protocol was paying back in April?). The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six foreign currencies, is now trading at a 20-year high after surging about 20% in the last year. In that time, bitcoin (BTC) has dropped a whopping 58%.\n“Dollar strength is a unilateral and powerful force,” said Mark Conners, head of research at 3IQ, on CoinDesk TV’s“First Mover” program Friday. “The term ‘tsunami’ is thrown out a lot, but it really, accurately represents what happens in a period of dollar strength. It just pulls other assets away from currencies.”\nNonetheless, it’s worth cautioning that one shouldn’t read too much into this. After all, crypto is still in its nascent stages compared to other asset classes. It has its own idiosyncrasies and prices move for reasons other than, say, dollar strength.\nFor example, bitcoin hit an all-time high in November 2021, trading at close to $69,000, more than quadruple where it was the year before. During that time frame, the dollar index went from roughly 92.7 to 95.\nFurthermore, prices often appear to move in relation **Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices:** [22930.55, 23843.89, 23804.63, 23656.21, 23336.90, 23314.20, 22978.12, 22846.51, 22630.96, 23289.31, 22961.28, 23175.89, 23809.49, 23164.32, 23947.64, 23957.53, 24402.82, 24424.07, 24319.33, 24136.97, 23883.29, 23336.00, 23212.74, 20877.55, 21166.06, 21534.12, 21398.91, 21528.09, 21395.02, 21600.90, 20260.02, 20041.74, 19616.81, 20297.99, 19796.81, 20049.76, 20127.14, 19969.77, 19832.09, 19986.71, 19812.37, 18837.67, 19290.32, 19329.83, 21381.15, 21680.54, 21769.26, 22370.45, 20296.71, 20241.09, 19701.21, 19772.58, 20127.58, 19419.51, 19544.13, 18890.79, 18547.40, 19413.55, 19297.64, 18937.01] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Poilievre garnered over 68% of the conservative vote, miles ahead of his closest rival, former Quebec premier Jean Charest, who only managed to scrounge up 16% of total votes. Poilievre not only dominated in vote count, but was also the preferred candidate in almost every single riding (electoral district) across Canada. As the CPC’s new leader, Poilievre is now poised to battle current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for Canada’s top job in the 2025 federal election. This means Canadians may soon have the opportunity to elect a pro-bitcoin prime minister – a first in North American politics. "Government is ruining the Canadian dollar, so Canadians should have the freedom to use other money, such as bitcoin," Poilievresaidearlier this year. Poilievre has been a vocal proponent of bitcoin, going as far as buying a shawarma with bitcoin on camera atTahini’s Londonduring his spring CPC leadership campaign. He owns at least $10,000 in units of Purpose Bitcoin, a Canadian bitcoin exchange-traded fund, as per hispolitical disclosures.

Poilievre, like most staunch bitcoiners, does not seem to be a big fan of fiat currency. He has railed against the Bank of Canada for failing to temper runaway inflation. He also promised that under his premiership, he would fire the central bank’s governor, audit the bank’s activities, and stop the development of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). “The Bank of Canada has zero business developing its own digital currency.

The decline capped a turbulent week of steep interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks and shrinking economic indicators that point increasingly toward recession.\n"Bitcoin remained under pressure due to the macro economic environment, and we maintain that below $20,000 remains a strong accumulation opportunity for mid- to long-term horizons," said Joe DiPasquale, CEO of crypto fund manager BitBull Capital.\nPost Merge Ether spent a similarly dreary weekend almost entirely in the red. The second largest crypto in market value was recently changing hands at about $1,300, down more than a percentage point from the previous day, same time. ETH has been trading lower over the 10 days since the Merge, the technological shift of the Ethereum blockchain to a more energy efficient, proof-of-stake protocol. Other major cryptos were largely in the red with SOL and popular memecoin DOGE each down more than 2%.\nTheCoinDesk Market Index, which tracks the performance of 20 major cryptocurrencies, remained largely unchanged at approximately 940. The crypto Fear & Greed Index measuring investor sentiment has inched down again from fear to extreme fear territory.\nStocks\nCrypto price decreases dovetailed with equity markets and other assets – riskier and more safe haven – that closed down during a dismal Friday. The tech-focused Nasdaq and S&P 500, which has a strong technology component, tumbled 1.8% and 1.7%, respectively. Those indexes have plunged five of the past six weeks amid ongoing investor fears about inflation and the economy. Cryptos have largely tracked stocks this year.\nAfter chewing over the Fed\'s hawkish, 75 basis point rate increase and deteriorating housing numbers, markets will be scrutinizing U.S. durable goods orders for September, the U.S. Conference Board\'s latest consumer confidence index and August, new home sales. Economic observers widely expect durable goods orders to resemble last month\'s total, and a drop-off in new home sales. On Friday, the University of Michigan releases its next consumer sentiment index, which measures consumer attitudes about business conditions and personal finance, among other criteria.\nMeanwhile, the dollar\'s recent surge has suggested that cryptocurrency prices are likely to continue languishing, although CoinDesk\'s Lawrence Lewitinnalso notedin a Sunday column that cryptos, similar to equities, have been more nuanced in their response to events.\nFor example, in the seven days following the release earlier this month of a disappointing Consumer Price Index, the CoinDesk Smart Contract Platform Index (SMT), which includes ETH, ADA and SOL, plunged almost 20%, while the CoinDesk Culture & Entertainment Index (CNE) – filled with NFT-related and metaverse coins like ApeCoin’s APE and The Sandbox’s SAND slipped by “only” 6.9%. (Lewitinn noted that the Smart Contract Index\'s fall stemmed at least partly from ether\'s decline following the Merge)\n"Crypto is still in its nascent stages compared to other asset classes," Lewitinn wrote. "It has its own idiosyncrasies and prices move for reasons other than, say, dollar strength."\nHe added: "For traders, thinking about crypto in terms of segments means, among other things, coming up with more sophisticated ways to trade in a rising-rate environment.\nDespite bitcoin\'s fretful behavior last week, BitBull\'s DiPasquale noted optimistically that "the $18,000 level has continued to provide decent support."\n"If BTC doesn\'t break down in the coming days, we could see upward movement in October with $24k and $26k being initial levels to watch," he wrote.\n[{"Asset": "Cosmos", "Ticker": "ATOM", "Returns": "+3.7%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Chainlink", "Ticker": "LINK", "Returns": "+3.3%", "DACS Sector": "Computing"}, {"Asset": "XRP", "Ticker": "XRP", "Returns": "+1.5%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}]\n[{"Asset": "Terra", "Ticker": "LUNA", "Returns": "\\u22127.3%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Solana", "Ticker": "SOL", "Returns": "\\u22122.8%", "DACS Sector": "Smart Contract Platform"}, {"Asset": "Dogecoin", "Ticker": "DOGE", "Returns": "\\u22122.4%", "DACS Sector": "Currency"}]\nMining GPUs Won\'t Generate Much\nBy Sam Reynolds\nEthereum’s Mergehappened 12 days ago, writing the obituary forGPU mining. Days after The Merge, one graphics card manufacturer took the coming glut of cards (which are already not that profitable to produce)to quit the businessaltogether.\nDespite this, there are still proof-of-work tokens on the market. These aren’t exactly blue-chip tokens on the front page of CoinGecko, but rather altcoins likeBitcoinGold,Neoxa(which has a market cap of $4 million) orCortex.\nBut the numbers aren’t going to work for miners looking to snap up some now-plentiful, used GPUs for mining. The best case scenario, using the GeForce GTX 1060, which goes on the second-hand market for $100, sees the card’s value being recovered in mined crypto in 35 months or almost three years.\nAnd that’s based on a lot of assumptions. There’s not a rugpull with the token. The card doesn’t break down – a possibility with months of constant use – and the token’s value stays the same or increases (that’s asking a lot in the world of crypto).\nAbsent from these assumptions are power costs. Adding them to the calculation is beyond the scope of the tool from 2cryptocalc’s abilities.\nBut what if you wanted to mine a semi-useful token?For that, consider WhattoMine, which gives us the ability to calculate mining profitability based on hashrate and power cost.\nOur trusty GeForce GTX 1060 has a hashrate of23Mh/s for Etchash, the algorithm used for Ethereum Classic.\nRun the numbers, and it\'s pretty grim. Using one card, and the average cost per kilowatt hour in theU.S. of $0.17, the card makes $1.80 in profit per month. Meaning that it won’t break even for 55.5 months, or 4.62 years.\nIf this was scaled a hundred-fold, where the hash rate was now 2300 Mh/s, 100 of these cards would generate $182.6 per month in profit.\nEven with ASICs, specialized silicon that’s built for mining, the math isn’t much better unless you have extreme scale. Data now shows that the most profitable ASIC miner for retail miners, the Bitmain Antminer L7,generates $8 in profit per dayas part of the Nicehash pool.\nIt’smore profitableto just own stocks of listed mining companies.\n8:30 a.m. HKT/SGT(12:30 a.m. UTC):Jibun Bank Manufacturing PMI(Sept./preliminary)\n1:35 p.m. HKT/SGT(5:35 a.m.):Speech by Bank of Japan GovernorHaruhiko Kuroda\n3:30 p.m. H1HKT/SGT(7:30 a.m. UTC): Speech by Luis De Guindos\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nBitcoin Slips Below $19K; Coinbase Policy Chief on Crypto’s Role Ahead of Midterms\nWith the midterm elections around the corner, Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad joined "First Mover" to discuss why the crypto exchange wants to let U.S. users track how crypto-friendly their local politicians are through its app. Mark Connors, head of research at 3IQ, joined the markets discussion.

See related article: US raises red flag on crypto mining, concern over carbon emissions Fast facts Terahash is a metric unit of computing power on the Bitcoin network.

As countries launch sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s energy output has declined, driving up global energy prices, adding to the plight of miners that heavily rely on electricity. The price index for the highest-performing models of Bitcoin miners also dropped over 67%, falling from US$101/TH in the beginning of 2020 to US$32.71/TH on Thursday.

BTC has been tangoing with the $19,000 threshold for eight days, dipping and rising according to the winds of the latest economic indicators.\nEther was recently changing hands over its most recent support of $1,300, a more than 2% increase from the previous day. Most other major cryptos were largely in the green, with DOT and BSV recently up more than 6% and 5%, respectively.\n"Crypto markets are holding up quite well in the face of everything that\'s going on globally," Nauman Sheikh, managing director at Wave Financial, told CoinTV\'s "First Mover" program.\nStocks\nEquity markets, from which crypto prices have drawn their lead for much of the year, closed lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and S&P 500 both falling over a percentage point and the tech-heavy Nasdaq dropping 0.6%. The declines came amid investors\' heightened recessionary fears that took root following a wave of hawkish interest rate hikes and economic data pointing firmly downward. The DJIA tumbled into bear market territory, meaning it has declined at least 20% from its previous peak.\nOn Monday, yields for two-year U.S. Treasurys soared to 4.3%, reaching levels last seen in August 2007. Ten-year notes topped 3.9%, their highest mark since 2010. An inverted yield curve suggests that investors are placing a higher degree of risk on short-term than longer-term lending, and historically has foreshadowed recessions that affect all risk assets. Cryptocurrencies typically move in the opposite direction of yields.\nEarlier in the day, markets were further roiled when the British pound fell to a historic low against the U.S. dollar before rallying. The drop occurred after the British government introduced its largest tax cuts in a half century to spur economic growth, but raising fresh inflation concerns.\nCrypto news offered a mix of events, negative, neutral and positive.

The Walt Disney Company separately hinted at a ramped-up metaverse presence througha recent job listingfor a principal counsel specializing in non-fungible tokens and decentralized finance (DeFi).\nDespite the ongoing, macroeconomic turbulence, Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at crypto fund manager Arca, took issue with "the convenient narrative" that ties "digital assets\' fates to macro." In his Two Satoshis newsletter, Dorman wrote that the correlation was "short-lived" and applied only to bitcoin and "a few other bellwether cryptocurrencies."\n"The future success or failure of digital asset investments will be more closely tied to user and app growth than to dot plots," he wrote, adding: "But with the Ethereum Merge in the rear-view mirror and the Federal Reserve stranglehold transparently and clearly stated, what will be the next catalyst to drive digital asset prices?

Despite the bear market for crypto, organizers say there are over7,000 people scheduledto attend and 2,000 companies represented.\nHotel prices areup nearly 70%from last year with the highest prices per night in a decade as visitors flock back to a Singapore free of COVID-19 restrictions. The event, which features developers and executives from leading Web3 and other blockchain-related companies, underscores not only the global return to normality but also Singapore’s resurgence as a crypto hub and business hub. It also highlights the different roads that Singapore and its perennial rival, Hong Kong, which is playing catch-up, have been traveling.\nSingapore re-opened its borders and dropped most COVID-19 restrictions in March 2022. Hong Kong isnow only doing sothis month, perhaps egged on by itsloss of the titleof top financial hub in Asia to Singapore.\nAnother loss for Hong Kong is the Token2049 conference itself. Initially, this event was a London and Hong Kong affair until it was canceled twice in Hong Kong because of pandemic restrictions.\nThis year’s Singapore Fintech Festival and Hong Kong Fintech Week are actually scheduled to be overlapping events. But as CoinDesk has previously reported, these might be two different events entirely.\nHong Kong Fintech week is less about fintech andmore about govtech: how financial technology can help Hong Kong and its firms be more efficient for Beijing’s vision of the "Greater Bay Area," the future tight integration of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Macau, along with several regional mainland cities. Singapore’s festival, in contrast, is a much more international affair, judging by the speakers’ list.\nBesides, anyone from overseas who wants to go to Hong Kong’s Fintech Week needs to arrive three days early as thecurrent rules sayno “maskless or group activities” (including restaurants and bars) for 72 hours. And there’s a required PCR test at the airport, and three more spread out during the first week.\nNot much fun for conference goers.\nCircle Converge22\n7:30 p.m. H1HKT/SGT(11:30 a.m. UTC):Speech by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde\n8: 30 p.m. H1HKT/SGT(12:30 p.m. (UTC):U.S. durable goods orders (August)\nIn case you missed it, here is the most recent episode of"First Mover"onCoinDesk TV:\nBitcoin Trades Around $19K.

As a result, most traders looking to time the next parabolic bull run are waiting for the world's most powerful central bank to declare victory over inflation and abandon liquidity tightening. While the Fed decisions are undoubtedly important, indicators unrelated to macroeconomic factors and unique to the crypto market, like coin dormancy metrics, could be equally valuable in timing the next bull run. "Dormant supply peaks are springboards for upwards price action," Nik Bhatia, author of the best-selling book "Layered Money," and market analyst Joe Consortiwrotein the latest edition of The Bitcoin Layer newsletter. Bhatia concluded that after noting bitcoin's tendency to chalk out sharp multi-month rallies after the percent of circulating supply inactive for at least a year has peaked. As seen in the featured image, the percentage of supply that was inactive for at least a year topped in January 2016 and the peak preceded a major 21-month bull run that saw prices rise from $450 to $20,000 – a staggering 4,340% rally. Similarly, bitcoin went berserk after the metric peaked in the third quarter of 2020, rallying from $10,000 to over $60,000 in six months to April 2021. At press time, the percentage of bitcoin dormant for at least a year stood at a record 65.76%, according to data sourced from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode. If history is a guide, bitcoin may see another meteoric rally once the metric has peaked. "If two-thirds of bitcoin is off the market (not for sale) for an extremely long period of time, the price is driven up when more buyers enter the market bidding for a finite supply – a scenario that has played out in bitcoin twice before," Bhatia noted, adding that there are more unspent one-year plus old coins than ever before. On-chain data has its own set of limitations and the metric in considerationdoesn't take into accountfast-growing bitcoin-linked trading vehicles such as derivatives, tokenized bitcoin, exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded products and trusts. Coins locked in these alternative vehicles are still liquid or active, even if they don't appear to be in on-chain metrics. Nevertheless, the relationship between inactive supply and price trends is noteworthy. "Is this causal or circumstantial? We don’t know. But when data moves in inverse-tandem in previous cycles, it catches our eye and demands attention," Bhatia said. Bitcoin changed hands at $19,750 at press time, down 0.5% on a 24-hour basis, according to CoinDesk data.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/TarkovReddit0r', 'Why the 18-20k support is a really good sign', 46, '2022-09-27 01:43', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/xozy5r/why_the_1820k_support_is_a_really_good_sign/', "Feel free to change my mind but I think the last months Bitcoin support is a great signal.

"The Number 72 and 27 and their correlation with the AMC algorithm" is very important, but mainly it shows AMC is synced with World Events.\n\n1/27/21 is significant because it was 322 days after the cv19 lock down 3/11/2020. And Skull and Bones day (3/22) is 741 days after the cv19 lockdown date 3/11/20. Ryan Cohen bought 100k of GME on Skull and Bones Day after waving the Jolly Roger Emoji days before. Fun fact: on 3/22/2020 the total Covid-19 cases reported broke 322,000.\n\n[You can verify the date durations with this hyperlink.](http://www.gematrinator.com/calculator/datecalculator.php)\n\nAnd you can see 10/5 is a magnifier of 15. On 1/5/21, AMC hit its all time low. The price used to be $1.91, but after the APE Dividend, value was put into $APE (ATH 10.50)... and the AMC all time low went to 1.27... then the day the queen died, it changed to 1.17. (To see an amazing 5 part decode on the Queens Death, [tap here for part 1](https://codexgematria.blogspot.com/2022/09/queen-elizabeth-ii-dies-at-96.html)).\n\n1.21 GIGAWATTS!!! or 1/21... what happened in 1/21? AMC hit it\'s all time low and then ran up with Gamestop.\n\n​\n\nhttps://i.redd.it/k1vexag9izr91.gif\n\nAlso, 10/5/2022 is 21 months from 1/5/2021... or 91 weeks, 1 day... or 1273days.\n\n1273 sum of divisors is 1360... a magnifier of 360, a magnified perfect circle.\n\nI believe what we are seeing is a fractal of just before the all time low of 1.17 on 1/5/2021.\n\n10/5 is also 111 days from 6/16...\n\n​\n\nAlso fun fact 2977 victims on 9/11, sum of divisors of 2977 is 3220...\n\nAccording Wikipedia 2996 people lost their lives during the 9/11/2001 attacks, although many other official sources including government websites report 2997 casualties\xa0\n\nThe 2996th verse of the Bible after the creation of the world in Genesis 1:1 is Leviticus 10:19, the 2997th verse, which talks about a ritual sacrifice\n\nLeviticus 10:19 KJV\n\nAnd Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?\n\nThe 2997th word from the end of the Bible is “ torment” in Revelation 18:7\n\nRevelation 18:7\n\nNew International Version\n\n7)\xa0Give her as much torment and grief\n\nas the glory and luxury she gave herself.\n\nIn her heart she boasts,\n\n‘I sit enthroned as queen.\n\nI am not a widow;\n\nI will never mourn.’\n\nRevelation 18 is a metaphor about Babylon the Great being New York City, the World Market and the World Trade Center during 9/11.\n\nFor those wondering wtf... the KJV has esoteric encryption.\n\nAMC closed on Friday, the week of 9/11, down -9.11% for a loss of 0.90 and a total value of $8.98. Aftermarket, AMC high was 9.11 and it closed at 9.10 (91=13th triangular... 911=156th prime)...\n\n​\n\nFollowing week on Monday 9/19, AMC opened down at -2.20%, $8.98... and had a low of 8.90. 89= the 11th fib and 24th prime (Gemini Twins and Jupiter). On 9/19 (919...inverted 616) is also the Queens funeral... 5 days later was the 24th and President Zi apparently was put on House Arrest. The Queen died 3 days before 9/11 and the 24th was 13 days after 9/11... 13 is a magnifier of 3.\n\nAMC weekly chart showing it was down -7.61% for the whole week...\n\n761=135th prime...\n\n135 Sum of Divisors = 240... And 761 is In Octal 207\n\nLast week, 9/23, AMC\'s weekly candle closed -11.20%... the Sum of Divisors for 741 is 1120.\n\nThe parallels with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II are striking.\n\n​\n\nhttps://i.redd.it/k60wedtfeaq91.gif\n\nDo you think it is weird that I am referencing 9/11, the Bible, and Back to the Future with AMC? Well it is not a coincidence. [Here is a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFqOJO1Gn34&t=503s) that shows how the Back To The Future Series was engrained with the prediction of 9/11.
