Subscribe Why Wall Street is calling for no recession in 2020 In 2019, the word on the tip of everyone’s tongue was “recession.” A U.S.-China trade war, an inverted yield curve , and the length of the expansion were just a few of the concerns cited by investors who were still skittish following the market’s worst year since the crisis. But easier Fed policy , a softening in the trade war, and better-than-feared economic data helped power the stock market’s best year since 2013. And as we enter a new decade, economists across Wall Street are starting to discount not only a recession in 2020, but in the years ahead. In a note to clients published last week, economists at Goldman Sachs answered the 10 most pressing economic questions heading into the new year. Among them: Will the economy enter recession in 2020? “No,” Goldman writes. “While trade war-related recession fears have faded in financial markets, broader worries remain,” the firm adds. “The current expansion is now the longest in US history, and some recession fears may simply reflect an instinctive sense that its time must surely be almost up. This has not been an unreasonable thought historically, as the two usual late-cycle risks — inflationary overheating and financial imbalances — often did grow over time. But so far both risks look limited.” Fed chair Jerome Powell has stressed in recent public comments that inflation pressures have been “unexpectedly muted” relative to the Fed’s 2% target. And until there is a material pickup in inflation, Powell expects the Fed’s “somewhat accommodative” policy stance will remain in play. When it comes to financial imbalances, data has consistently shown this economic cycle to be one of consumer deleveraging. And with consumer spending accounting for about 70% of GDP, the relative financial health of consumers is tantamount to the health of the economy. Story continues Though as Deutsche Bank’s chief international economist Torsten Sløk notes, corporates have also exhibited a similar caution compared to history. This further suggests this economic cycle — though it is up there in years — shows few signs of breaking down. “This expansion has been characterized by an extreme degree of caution among consumers and corporates,” Sløk said in a note published this weekend. “Because of the experience in 2008-2009, households and companies have been hesitant to spend too much money and take too much risk. As a result, ten years into this expansion, discretionary spending for consumers and corporates is still below its historical average.” Consumer and corporate discretionary spending has remained depressed since the crisis, indicating caution and relative financial stability as we enter the new year. (Source: Deutsche Bank) Sløk notes that consumer caution is “highly unusual” compared to the economic cycles we’ve grown accustomed to seeing since World War II. “The lack of willingness to spend on consumer durables and corporate capex is also the reason why this expansion has been so weak,” Sløk adds. “And it is also the reason why this expansion could continue for many more years; we are simply less vulnerable to shocks in 2020 because there are few imbalances in the economy.” By Myles Udland , reporter and co-anchor of The Final Round.

Repeated defense of the EMA could attract technical buying. The average had acted as strong support in the five months to October 2018. A UTC close above $7,870 is needed to confirm a short-term bullish reversal. A violation at the EMA support could yield a re-test of recent lows near $6,500. Bitcoin is still feeling bearish pressure and could soon drop to historically strong price support below $7,100. The cryptocurrency fell 1.7 percent on Tuesday, reinforcing the bearish view put forward by the strong rejection above $7,600 witnessed over the weekend. The longer term picture is also looking bleak. Bitcoin is currently down 48 percent from the June high of $13,880 and is reporting nearly a 13 percent drop on a quarter-to-date basis, according to Bitstamp data. Related: Is Greece Cracking Down on Tax Evasion or Taxing Anonymity? With the sellers in control, bitcoin looks set to re-test the 21-month exponential moving average (EMA), currently at $7,097. The EMA had acted as strong support in the five months to October 2018, as seen below. Monthly chart (2017-2018) Bitcoins sell-off from the record high of $20,000 reached in December 2017 ran out of steam at the 21-month EMA support in June 2018. In the following four months, sellers repeatedly failed to secure a monthly close below the average line. By mid-October, many were convinced that the cryptocurrency had bottomed out along the key level. Buyers, however, remained elusive and the average support, then located around $6,100, was convincingly breached in mid-November with high volumes. The violation of the support likely triggered stops on long positions, leading to a violent sell-off. Related: Bitcoin Looks South After Strong Rejection Above $7,600 Clearly, the 21-month EMA, currently at $7,097, is the level to watch out for in the near-term more so, as the bears have recently struggled to breach the support. Story continues Monthly chart (2019) The long-tail attached to Octobers candle indicates sellers faded near the 21-month EMA line. Prices did print lows below the crucial support last month, but the support remained intact on a monthly closing basis (Nov. 30, UTC). Decembers candle has already briefly defended the support. A week ago, the technical line held ground resulting in a price bounce that fizzled out at highs above $7,660 on Dec. 9. Ifthe EMA continues to restrict losses, chart-driven buying could be seen,leading to a notable price bounce. That said, the short-term outlook will turn bullish only above $7,870. At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $7,200 on Bitstamp. Daily and weekly chart A UTC close above the Nov. 29 high of $7,870 would invalidate the lower-highs setup on the daily chart (above left) and confirm a short-term bullish reversal. However, the odds are currently stacked in favor of a move lower, as suggested by Mondays outside day candle and Tuesdays bearish follow-through. A break below the 21-month EMA support at $7, 097 will likely yield a decline to recent lows near $6,500. Thelong-term outlook would turn bullish if and when the cryptocurrency witnesses afalling channel breakout on the weekly chart.

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 slid by 3.09% on Thursday. Reversing a 0.06% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $6,989.4. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning intraday high $7,225.8 to a mid-morning low $7,100.0. Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $7,170.38 and the second major support level at $7,128.03. A move back through the support levels by late morning was brief, with Bitcoin sliding to a late afternoon intraday low $6,963.0. Bitcoin tumbled through the day’s major support levels to close out the day at sub-$7,000. Bitcoin last closed out the day at sub-$7,000 on 17 th December. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the majors. Tezos led the way down, sliding by 9.32% to fall out of the top 10, by market cap. EOS (-5.37%), Litecoin (-5.23%), Binance Coin (-5.05%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.36%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (-4.18%) also saw heavy losses. Ethereum (-2.56%), Ripple’s XRP (-2.57%), Stellar’s Lumen (-3.61%), and Tron’s TRX (-2.39%) saw relatively modest losses. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap hit a Monday high $198.27bn before sliding to a Thursday low $185.26bn. Through Wednesday, the total market cap had peaked at $193.02bn before the reversal. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $185.83bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses on Thursday. Trading volumes had hit $80bn levels on Monday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $68bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.18% to $6,977.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $6,992.8 to a low $6,977.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the crypto majors. Binance Coin and Ethereum bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.49% and by 0.08% respectively. It was bearish for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV and Litecoin leading the way down. Both were down by 0.38% early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,060 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,155.80. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,000 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,060 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through Thursday’s low $6,963 would bring the first major support level at $6,893.0 into play before any recovery. Barring an extended sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of the second major support level at $6,796.6.

Also known as "the only blockchain technology applied for the IoT reality", the team announced the launch of the BBC project and showcased their mainnet, which was launched earlier on 30 November this year.\nThe conference addressed several important blockchain issues, such as current trends and climates, as well as how traditional businesses can potentially tap into and adopt the blockchain technology, specifically for IoT purposes.\nAt the conference, BigBang Core signed agreements for the strategic partnerships with several major corporations, namely Zhejiang Zheran Energy Technology Co. Ltd., Zhejiang ZhengTu Technology Co. Ltd., Shenzhen Strontium Duoduo Water Industry Co. Ltd., Zhongshan Subor Co. Ltd., and Yi Hua Department Store Holdings Limited. The partnerships will promote industrial integration of the blockchain technology, and mark an important milestone for blockchain to transition from the technology space to further physical applications.\nThe BBC system stands apart from most of the existing projects within the sector as it comes with no pre-mined coins. While it may appear similar to existing peer-to-peer digital currencies, the technology is designed specifically for the data necessities of the IoT. This requires the implementation of a unique "tree-based structure" - a safe main chain linked with several applied branch chains - to contain multiple blocks, as opposed to single-chain structures such as Bitcoin. This allows the system to support potentially infinite Transactions Per Seconds (TPS) securely.\nThe team, who worked on the project for 3 years, has already made a significant real-world impact within the industry. The system was used for a carbon emission indicator test conducted by a company in Hangzhou. This success will give both investors and users confidence that BigBang Core is a trustworthy, secure and industry-leading project forIoT-related blockchainrequirements.\nFollowing the conference, BigBang Core is planning to incorporate their system into further several main areas: energy data quantification, agricultural big data as well as traceability and authenticity of logistical data and surrounding financial products. The BBC project is set to transform these industries from within by reevaluating and reinventing the way these industries and corporations contain, secure and distribute their valuable information.\nFor more information on BigBang Core, visitbigbangcore.com.\n###\nAbout BigBang Core:\nBigBang Core is a blockchain system nestled on a peer-to-peer network.

At the time of writing, theEURwas down by 0.04% to $1.1029. It’s another busy day ahead on thedatafront. Key stats include employment figures that will provide the Pound with direction. While a forecasted fall in the unemployment rate would be positive, the market focus will likely be on the claimant count and wage growth figures. Claimants are forecasted to rise by 26.5k in October, following a 21.1k rise in September. Wages are expected to rise by 4% in September, up from 3.8% in August. On the geopolitical risk front, UK politics will continue to grip the Pound. According to theYouGovpoll of polls, the Conservatives have 39% of the vote, well ahead of the Opposition Party’s 26%. The Pound got a boost on Monday in response to Farage’s decision to not compete for 317 Conservative Party seats. While the Brexit Party is not projected to win any seats, the latest news led to a rise in projected seats for the Tories. In response to Farage’s comments, theElectoral Calculus, which estimates the number of seats each party would win, raised its projection for the Tory Party from 370 to 382. That would give Johnson a majority of 114. At the time of writing, thePoundwas up by 0.02% to $1.2857. It’s another quiet quiet day on theeconomic calendar. There are no material stats due out of the U.S to provide the Greenback with direction. While there are no stats, U.S President Trump is due to speak at the Economic Club of New York that will provide the Dollar and the broader markets. We can expect plenty of chatter on trade and quite possibly views on monetary policy… TheDollar Spot Indexwas up by 0.06% to 98.256 at the time of writing. It’s also a quiet day on theeconomic calendar. There are no material stats due out of Canada to provide the Loonie with direction. Market risk appetite and influence on crude oil prices will provide direction throughout the day. TheLooniewas down by 0.10% to C$1.3246, against the U.S Dollar, at the time of writing.

The post Venezuela to sell oil and gold for petro cryptocurrency appeared first on Coin Rivet .', 'This post is part of CoinDesk’s 2019Year in Review, a collection of 100 op-eds, interviews and takes on the state of blockchain and the world. Benjamin Noys, a professor at the University of Chichester, in the UK, invented the term “accelerationism” for a philosophy that says technological progress should be greatly sped up.\nIn his bookMalign Velocities: Accelerationism and Capitalism(Zero Books, 2014), Benjamin Noys definesaccelerationismas the idea that capitalism should be pushed to ever-dizzying speeds to bring about a new future. Markets, technological progress and intelligence are all attributes of the same engine of history, which sometimes proceeds at the expense of humanity. Adherents argue the process of disrupting traditions, uprooting ecosystems and alienating individuals cannot be stopped. The only response is to accelerate.\nFive years on, Noys is now looking to uncover the links between this fringe philosophy, which exists mostly online, and the emergence of internet-native currencies. I recently spoke with him by phone. During our conversation, which has been edited for length and clarity, we discussed what the alt-right sees in crypto, how accelerationism has entered mainstream discourse and the mystical experience of holding money.\nRelated:How Libra Failed, and How It Could Succeed in 2020\nCan you describe your research into cryptocurrency?\nWhat interests me are the political aspects and debates around cryptocurrency, particularly in the way it’s been embraced by figures on the extreme right. I look at cryptocurrency as embodying a paradox. On the one hand it’s the most virtual form of money, entirely digital, and on the other hand it embodies stability in that it’s encrypted beyond government and other forms of interference. This dual perspective allows you to embrace both a desire for dissolving institutions and forms and embracing capitalism at its most extreme while preserving hierarchies between those who possess value and those who don’t.\nHow does a decentralized system preserve hierarchy?\nBitcoins are extremely deterritorialized, they belong to no one except their owners, and are not subject to any form of central control. This preserves the idea of value associated with those that possess monetary value. In some of the more extreme neo-reactionary movements, this hierarchy gets reinvented as the “the wealthy are better than the rest.” So those who embrace risk, speculation and the digital become the new lords or overlords.\nRelated:While We Wait for Laws, We Need Better Interpretations of Existing Regulation\nIt’s an argument by analogy? Because monetary hierarchies exist that validates other hierarchies – like racial or gender inequalities – for the extreme right.\nFigures like Nick Land, and other neoreactionaries, do embrace or come close to embracing racialized positions, while at the same time hedging by saying ‘we only embrace pure capitalism.’ So they put a distance between themselves and traditional rightwing politics, but to me, they still embrace rightwing traditional values of racial and social hierarchies. It uses a hierarchy of value to dictate social value.\nIt seems like some of Nick Land’s support for bitcoin borders on the metaphysical. I was wondering if you’ve grappled with any of that?\nI’m interested in the philosophical implications of crypto. There’s an argument that the birth of philosophy as a discipline runs parallel to the explosion of monetary economies in ancient Greece. That’s a speculative argument, but there are some interesting links between money as an abstract speculative medium and philosophy as an abstract speculative mode. That’s why I’m interested in how this particular form of digital currency aligns, can link with or generates political or social fantasies.\nAre there larger societal implications of having censorship-resistant currencies?\nWe don’t know what the implications will be. This is what some people are celebrating. It’s an experiment and the consequences of the experiment are very unclear. The notion of currencies that are free from government or forms of social control offers many political possibilities. It doesn’t necessarily have to be rightwing or reactionary ones. At the moment, it’s interesting how the agenda of freedom from government tends to be pitched in a rightwing direction. Probably often by people that haven’t used cryptocurrencies. They’re kind of an object of fantasy.\nCould you discuss how these reactionary ideas have entered into political discourse or wider culture?\nAccelerationism is a broad church of different thinkers and ideas that emerged in the last ten or so years – obviously triggered by the financial crisis of 2008 and by the dominance of the internet – to try to deal with the question of how do we deal with technology today. The broad definition is the embrace or accelerate certain forms of technology or social reforms to push through our current capitalist state to a new future.\nIt can take left-wing forms, where a post-capitalist future would not be based on a current capitalist market but would still use current technologies like the internet to distribute wealth, or use cryptocurrencies to encourage a more egalitarian social order. And there are right-wing forms that want to accelerate capitalism into a purer form.

The successful recipient of the AMF “ICO visa” – a cryptocurrency fundraising platform called French-ICO – met the minimum guarantees required by law, including a white paper investors could understand, according to a statement from the regulator. ICO visas are a means to ensure sales do not bring investors undue risk. Applicants must show the AMF they have provided all relevant information about the sale, as well as the risks involved. Approval is not an endorsement for the company. Related: Alleged BTC-e Operator Alexander Vinnik to Be Extradited to France: Reports The regulator can only approve public offerings for utility tokens, and an applicant must be a registered entity in France. They must also have procedures for securing investor funds and comply with strict anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. Once approved, the ICO must take place within six months. France passed one of the most comprehensive legal frameworks for cryptocurrencies earlier this year. Known as the PACTE law, it provides companies legal certainty in return for being regulated by the AMF. That includes a guaranteed bank account, as well as the option to host a token sale in the country using the ICO visa. AMF approval further allows a company to market its sale and engage in promotional activities. Registration is optional, however. Companies can still host an unregistered ICO in France but they are not allowed to promote the sale to potential investors. Related: Blockchain of Things Pays SEC $250,000 to Settle Unregistered ICO Reuters reported in July that the watchdog was talking to three or four candidates for an ICO visa. Although the news was announced Thursday, French-ICO received its visa on Tuesday. Scheduled to begin in March, the sale is capped at €1 million ($1.1 million), according to its website . The visa runs out on June 1, 2020. Story continues The AMF has come down hard on crypto companies that have broken French law. The watchdog previously banned advertisements for cryptocurrency derivatives and, in March, blacklisted 15 cryptocurrency websites that it considered had unlawfully guaranteed high returns on investments.

Following a 5.46% rally on Friday, ended the day at $7,369.8. Bitcoin moved within a particularly tight range through the 1 st half of the day, ahead of a choppier 2 nd half. Through the morning, an early low $7,325.1 saw Bitcoin steer clear of the major support levels before striking a morning high $7,395.7. Bitcoin fell short of the major resistance levels, before striking a late afternoon intraday high $7,422.0. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $7,574.3, Bitcoin fell to a late afternoon intraday low $7,297.3. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,038.7, recovery to $7,300 levels limited the downside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels earlier in the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, rallying by 6.05%. Binance Coin (+1.10%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.25%), EOS (+0.08%), Litecoin (+1.26%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.29%) also saw green. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however. Tezos led the way down, falling by 1.91%. The continued slide saw Tezos fall back to number 14 by market cap. A visit to the top 10 was a brief one. Ethereum (-0.02%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.26%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.35%) also joined Bitcoin in the red. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap recovered from a Thursday low $185.26bn. A bullish start to the day on Sunday saw the market cap hit a current week high $199.54bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $199.53bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses on Saturday and for the current week. Trading volumes hit $90bn levels on Saturday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $65bn levels. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.61% to $7,488.4. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally from an early morning low $7,369.9 to a high $7,499.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,428.77 and the second major resistance level at $7,487.73. Elsewhere, it was a sea of green across the crypto-board. EOS led the way early on, rallying by 2.11%. Binance Coin (+1.69%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.23%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.81%), Ethereum (+1.24%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.76%) also saw solid gains. Stellar’s Lumen trailed the pack early on, rising by just 0.85%. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,500 levels to support a run at the third major resistance level at $7,612.43. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from $7,500 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally on the day, resistance at $7,500 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,500 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the second major support level at $7,487.73 would bring the first major resistance level and sub-$7,400 levels into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the first major support level at $7,304.07. In the event of a sell-off, expect a visit to sub-$7,300 levels before any recovery.

Things were not much better for the DAX30, which fell by 0.53%, while the EuroStoxx600 slipped by just 0.02%. The losses came in spite of a bullish end to the week that saw the CAC40 and EuroStoxx600 rally by 1.21% and by 1.16% respectively. Disappointing industrial production figures out of Germany left the DAX30 with a more modest 0.86% gain on the day. Market sentiment towards the prospects of a U.S – China phase 1 agreement provided support on Friday, after having sunk the markets at the start of the week. On the economic data front, a jump in U.S nonfarm payrolls and wage growth ultimately delivered the Friday bounce, however. The Stats It was a busy week on the Eurozone economic calendar . In the 1 st half of the week, the focus was on November private sector PMI figures out of China, the Eurozone, and the U.S. While the PMI numbers out of China had provided support, the Eurozone and U.S PMI figures were far from impressive. The stats coincided with negative chatter on trade in the 1 st half, with the U.S administration threatening tariffs on all French goods. On the prospects of a U.S – China phase 1 agreement, Trump had also doused expectations of a pre-Christmas deal. In the 2 nd half of the week, things didn’t get much better on the data front, with German and Eurozone retail sales disappointing. While the markets have been able to stomach weak manufacturing sector figures, weak consumer spending is a different proposition… That sentiment was reflected by a slide in factory orders and industrial production figures out of Germany that had a relatively muted impact on the majors. On Friday, U.S nonfarm payroll and wage growth figures, however, did have a material impact. Impressive figures fuelled a rebound in both the European and U.S majors. Nonfarm payrolls jumped by 266k, with wages rising by 3.1% in November. Both came in ahead of expectations and points to strong consumer demand in the months ahead… Story continues The Market Movers From the DAX , it was a mixed week for the auto sector. Continental and Daimler fell by 0.88% and by 3.36% respectively. BMW and Volkswagen found support, however, with the pair up by 0.70% and 0.57% respectively. It was a bearish week for the banking sector, however. Deutsche Bank fell by 0.91%, with Commerzbank down by 1.14%. From the CAC , it was a mixed week for the banks. Credit Agricole and Soc Gen rose by 1.25% and by 2.80% respectively. BNP Paribas bucked the trend, falling by 0.06%, the loss coming in spite of a 1.35% gain on Friday. French auto sector took another hit in the week, with Peugeot and Renault falling by 1.87% and by 3.76% respectively. The U.S. threat of tariffs on all French goods certainly didn’t help. On the VIX Index The VIX Index rose by 7.92% in the week ending 6 th December. Following a 2.27% gain from the previous week, the VIX ended the week at 13.6. A choppy week for the markets saw the VIX jump by 18.15% on Monday. The jump came in response to negative chatter on trade. This was followed up by a 7% gain on Tuesday that ultimately delivered the upside in the week. In the 2 nd half of the week, a shift in sentiment towards trade and the particularly impressive labor market figures out of the U.S limited the upside in the VIX. The Week Ahead It’s a relatively busy week on the Eurozone economic calendar . Through the 1 st half of the week, German trade data and business sentiment figures for Germany and the Eurozone are due out Barring dire trade figures, expect the sentiment figures to have the greatest influence on Tuesday. Following disappointing industrial production figures out of Germany last week, a fall in Eurozone industrial production wouldn’t be a surprise… Industrial production figures are due out on Thursday. On Thursday, the focus will be on the ECB and ECB President Lagarde, however. Economic indicators going into the 4 th quarter have not been great, which raises the question of what’s next from the ECB… Finalized inflation numbers from France, Germany, and Spain due out in the week will unlikely influence. From elsewhere, expect economic data from the U.S and, more importantly, the FOMC economic projections from Wednesday to also influence. On the geopolitical front, updates from China and the U.S in the early part of the week will influence. In the 2 nd half of the week, expect the European majors to respond to the UK general election. Results will start trickling in overnight on Thursday… A Tory Party loss would extend Britain’s membership with the EU. This would also raise plenty of uncertainty over what lies ahead for the UK economy, however.

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 fell by 0.08% on Sunday. Following on from a 0.02% decline on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,364.6. The moves through the weekend left Bitcoin down by 0.04% for the week. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally to an early morning intraday high $7,509.9. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,428.77 and the second major resistance level at $7,487.73. While easing back to sub-$7,500 levels, Bitcoin held onto $7,400 levels until a late sell-off. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to a late intraday low $7,315.8. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,304.07, Bitcoin found support in the final hour to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels earlier in the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Monero’s XRM led the way, rallying by 6.03% to replace Stellar’s Lumen in the crypto top 10 (by market cap). Binance Coin (+1.74%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%), EOS (+1.14%), Ethereum (+0.87%), Litecoin (+1.36%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.39%) also saw green. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.26%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.31%), Tezos (-0.17%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.11%) joined Bitcoin in the red on the day. It was also a mixed bag for the week ending 5 th January. Monero’s XMR and Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with gains of 15.5% and 11.3% respectively. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+5.44%), Ethereum (+0.74%), and Litecoin (+0.56%) also made gains in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack, with Tezos sliding by 4.1% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-0.21%), EOS (-0.22%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (-1.62%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.24%) also joined Bitcoin in the red for the week. Story continues Through the week, the crypto total market cap recovered from a Thursday low $185.26bn. A bullish start to the day on Sunday saw the market cap hit a week high $200.37bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $197.83bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses for the week. Trading volumes hit $90bn levels on Saturday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $67bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.16% to $7,376.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,358.0 to a high $7,381.2. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Monero’s XMR (+0.36%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.12%), Tezos (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.07%) also found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.26%), Ethereum (-0.23%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.27%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,390 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,477.73. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,400 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally on the day, resistance at $7,500 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,390 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $7,358.0 would bring the first major resistance level at $7,283.63 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,200 levels. The second major support level at $7,202.67 should limit any downside on the day.

But Jack Dorsey, the American tech entrepreneur who co-founded and leads not one, but two publicly listed companies (Twitter and Square) is not your typical CEO. Dressed down, bearded, often wearing a wooly hat and speaking in a slow, quiet voice, you might even call Dorsey the anti-CEO. He eschews many of the stereotypical trappings of the executive life and mannerisms in favor of taking silent retreats and traveling to countries like Burma. In November 2019, Dorsey\'s itchy feet took him to Africa, where he visited Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Ethiopia on a listening tour . He had meetings at incubators in Lagos and Addis Ababa, and talked to a number of African tech leaders, including Tayo Oviosu , the CEO of Nigerian payments startup Paga, and Yele Bademosi , the director of Binance Labs. And before he departed back for the U.S., he did something more: he announced that he would return in 2020 to live somewhere on the continent for up to six months. "Africa will define the future (especially the bitcoin one!). Not sure where yet, but I’ll be living here for 3-6 months mid 2020," he Tweeted from Ethiopia . Why Africa? And where? And when? If you have ever spoken to Dorsey — or more likely read an interview with him — you\'ll note that he can be somewhat oblique.

Bitcoin prices tumbled over 4 percent Monday as buyers proved reluctant to engage with the market, likely due to recent suggestions of anew crypto crackdownin China. At press time on Tuesday, the world’s top crypto by market capitalization had dropped further, and was down 3.03 percent on the day. Bitcoin is currently changing hands at $8,144, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index.

Back in early 2018, a long-term bear cross saw prices fall by as much as 60 percent. While past events are not indicative of future results, it does raise the question: how far can bitcoin’s value fall? Further losses will expose prices to the 100-period moving average on the weekly chart, now located at $7,520.

View comments', 'While many of us were buying last-minute Christmas presents of socks and aftershave, in Argentina, it looks as if the focus was on Bitcoin. According to incredible stats compiled by CoinDance, Bitcoin trading in Argentina skyrocketed to an all-time high in the run-up to Christmas. Peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading in Argentina CoinDance measures the volume of transactions over time on peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. It found that Bitcoin trading in Argentina in the week of December 21 reached a staggering $32.6 million Argentine pesos (approximately $544,905 US dollars). That\x92s 34% more than the volume registered in previous weeks and marks a historical record in P2P trading on LocalBitcoins \x96 a platform popular in the Latin American country. Bitcoin trading in Argentina While Bitcoin trading in Argentina has cooled off again since reaching its peak, the increased trading volume in December demonstrates Argentina\x92s growing interest in Bitcoin. At 55.44% at the end of 2019, inflation in Argentina is among the highest in the world. This makes it impossible for Argentines to save in their national currency. But why was there such a spike in peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading in Argentina the week of December 21? A historic distrust of its national currency Argentines historically distrust their national currency \x96 and with good reason. It\x92s let them down many times before with wide-scale devaluations and banking crises. This has fostered an obsession with dollars in the country. Many Argentines wishing to save or carry out transactions on high-ticket items instinctively convert their pesos to dollars. Since President Macri\x92s sweeping defeat in October, in an attempt to prevent capital flight, the Argentine central bank restricted the purchase of foreign currency to just $200 per month per citizen. On Tuesday December 17, the new Argentine government led by Alberto Fernández announced a new series of measures to further hamper access to dollars and foster a new \x93love of the peso\x94. Story continues The first of which is abolishing a tax on saving in pesos. \x93We need to recover savings in our currency,\x94 said the new Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, as he announced that the tax on savings in pesos was being written off. \x93We also need to discourage savings in a currency that we do not produce, which are dollars,\x94 he added. Therefore, in addition to the $200 monthly limit, Argentines will pay a 30% tax for the purchase of dollars and for any expenses abroad. These include tourism (making it harder for Argentines to travel) and even services such as Netflix, Airbnb, and Spotify. The tax will not affect expenses related to health, medications, books, and research projects. These measures are part of the so-called \x93Law of Solidarity and Productive Reactivation\x94 that the government plans to push through parliament. According to Guzmán, it is \x93the first step to resolve the economic and social crisis that Argentina is going through\x94. 70% of funds collected with the \x93dollar tax\x94 will go to the social security system, while the remaining 30% will finance infrastructure and housing works in the country. Solidarity law pushing Argentines to Bitcoin The reasons behind the Law of Solidarity and Productive Reactivation may be well-intended. However, it\x92s hard to change a mindset built up over the years and encourage trust in the peso again. It\x92s certainly no coincidence that the spike in Bitcoin trading in Argentina resulted shortly after the new measures were announced. Argentina is not the only country in Latin America to have a tendency towards P2P BTC trading. Venezuela also reached an all-time high that same week, representing a 15.6% increase from the week before. Argentina\x92s ravaged neighbours to the north, in fact, are still showing more and more interest in Bitcoin trading, registering another all-time high the week of January 4. Bitcoin trading in Venezuela Bitcoin \x96 a new Latin American alternative? Argentina and Venezuela are in the throes of complicated economic and financial crises. The situation in Venezuela is far worse, with annual inflation of over 10 million percent . However, the Argentine peso is also being weakened on an almost daily basis. Both countries are also struggling to attract investment and have restricted access to international credit. The devaluation of local currencies is one of the main reasons specialised investors and a young tech-savvy population have turned to Bitcoin \x96 as an alternative to escape monetary depreciation and shield their wealth. However, the enormous obstacles and restrictions on access to foreign exchange have further boosted P2P Bitcoin trading in Argentina and Venezuela. These activities are not yet regulated by current legislation and have allowed investors to quickly exchange their local currency for units or fractions of cryptocurrencies that are traded internationally. Bitcoin may have been born from the ashes of the last global economic meltdown, but the majority of its users are treating it as a store of value. For countries like Argentina and Venezuela, Bitcoin is truly proving to be a viable way of escaping erroneous economic policies and weak local fiat currencies.

On November 20th, 2019, Utopia's global launch event will be hosted by its Thailand community. A new site has been launched previously by Utopia for experienced cryptocurrency investors and newbies who want to learn more about creating a strong, steady passive income. The site offers practical information and training on how to utilize the correct Bitcoin investment strategy, along with an affiliate program, to create well above-average returns. Why Did We Create Utopia? In the existing world money works for the banks, producing profit for them as the public utilizes the currency. They can issue more currency and the public will happily pay the banks more money to use it. In this way, the public is serving the money and the money is serving the banks. This is how the centralized financial system creates a hierarchy and maintains the gap between the rich and the poor. "Today, we have the opportunity to apply blockchain technology and spirit to build a new financial system that is independent of the existing financial system and exists in the virtual online world. Everyone is an owner in the system where contributions are rewarded equably. This is a new system of fairness and integrity. The system also represents the voice of most people around the world. People will be happy because they make money easily", said Utopia CEO, Shaun Mendes. The origin of Utopia Originated from the concept of ideal world proposed by Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, Utopia claims that it is striving to build a new, ideal digital ecosystem and apply blockchain technology to secure everyone's involvement in the running of the enterprise. But what does the new, ideal digital ecosystem look like? Well, it looks like an ideal world, since it returns to the model of "money serves people." With blockchain as its fundamental technology, Utopia possesses the underlying qualities of transparency, equality and reliability. Utopia claims that there's no exploitation, no manipulation, and no money in the form of today's currency. Story continues Utopia combines with BTC to reach global consensus and belief What Is Utopia's Grand Strategy? With hundreds of thousands of global users, Utopia is dedicated to creating a new form of financial and social networks. Utopia is said to run by everyone in its network. To reach a broader consensus, Utopia combines its development with BTC. It is anticipated that it will jointly popularize BTC and promote the growth of BTC/USD exchange rate. Meanwhile, Utopia distributes 100 percent of its profits to all of those who have a consensus on the idea of Utopia. The birth of Utopia resulted from BTC, and the birth of BTC resulted from people's wish to sort out the problems caused by the existing finance and currency system. As an unprecedented breakthrough, the underlying technology of bitcoin is gradually establishing the new financial order. Whilst Utopia is not only a firm supporter of the financial order, but also a forward innovator. Utopia is an "ideal world" created by bitcoin believers and holders all over the world, whose goal is to popularize bitcoin, promote the growth of BTC/USD exchange rate, and distribute 100 percent its revenue to every Utopia idea disseminator. The total amount of bitcoins in circulation is only 21 million, and the number will never increase again. At present, more than 17 million bitcoins have been mined out, among which about 4-4.5 million can't be found due to the loss of private key. Thus, only about 13 million are actually in circulation. As the wind vane of blockchain economy, bitcoin now has the most extensive consensus in the world. Based on blockchain technology, big data, cryptographic algorithm and so on, Utopia has built a super self-reliant financial system driven by the financial system of bitcoin consensus and trust, so that every bitcoin participant can obtain huge victory benefits. Utopia is a new highlight of the digital world The great thing about bitcoin is that it breaks the centralization of currency and introduces cryptocurrency and blockchain to the world. Whilst Utopia is to break the financial barrier of the world, build a new system of global digital blockchain assets, and popularize BTC through accurate calculation and reasonable economic model. Utopia achieves a high level of global consensus via taking BTC as the underlying application, and realizes a decentralized blockchain world via implementing the multi-signature mechanism of BTC. The BTC assets deposited by each user of Utopia will be jointly owned by 10 + N members, and there will be no such problems as central control and run-away. In the world of Utopia, everyone is the owner. In order to make Utopia develop better, based on the reliable economic model on the blockchain, Utopia designed the daily interest rate and annual compound interest rate targeting different needs of participants, ensuring the sustainable income of all participants and the long-term and stable development of Utopia. Utopia assets adopt bitcoin multi-signature mechanism to ensure the safety of each participant's assets. Only by the agreement of 66.66% of the users participating in the multi-signature account can one withdraw the assets in Utopia. Utopia is dedicated to the realization of true decentralization and everyone's participation in the management of the new world of Utopia. The future is at the corner. Utopia is quietly changing the world and our lives with blockchain technology and its unique development concept.

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 rallied by 5.09% on Tuesday. Following on from a 5.35% bounce on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,154.1. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to a late morning high $7,952.0 before falling to a late afternoon intraday low $7,741.9. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,909.27 before the pullback. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,482.27, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $8,210.3. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,909.27 and the second major resistance level at $8,060.63. The 23.6% FIB of $8,200 limited the upside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the current week rally. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Binance Coin (+0.47%), EOS (+0.06%), and Litecoin (+1.20%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack, however. Ripple’s XRP and Stellar’s Lumen led the way down, sliding by 4.30% and 3.93% respectively. Bitcoin Cash SV (-3.42%) and Tron’s TRX (-3.00%) also saw relatively heavy losses. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.31%), Ethereum (-0.78%), and Monero’s XMR (-0.81%) saw modest losses on the day. Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap jumped to an early Wednesday current week high $220.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $220.00bn, with the majors seeing further upside early on this morning. Bitcoin’s dominance surged to 69% levels, driven by 2 solid days in the green. Trading volumes hit $92bn levels on Tuesday. At the time of writing, volumes were at $93bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 2.91% to $8,391.0. A particularly bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $8,148.8 to a high $8,442.0. Story continues Breaking out from the 23.6% FIB of $8,200, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $8,328.97 early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.52%), EOS (+2.73%), Ethereum (+2.49%), Litecoin (+3.86%), Monero’s XMR (+2.77%) and Tron’s TRX (+2.00%) also found strong support early on. Binance Coin (+0.94%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.71%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.21%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.32%) trailed the pack. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to hold above the first major resistance level at $8,328.97 to support a run at the second major resistance level at $8,503.83. We can expect the news wires to have a material influence on the day, with this week’s gains likely to have come from events in the Middle East. Expect Bitcoin to break out from the second major resistance level should the U.S respond to Iran’s attacks on military bases in Iraq. Resistance at $8,972.23 would likely limit any upside in the event of an extended rally on the day, however. Failure to hold above the first major resistance level could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 to sub-$8,040 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,860.57 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$8,000 levels.

Following an abrasive daily candle close which saw Bitcoin suddenly drop from $7,300 to $7,100 yesterday evening, it consolidated today at $7,200 before surging towards the $7,800 level of resistance. The dramatic rise from $7,200 to $7,800 saw a total of $59.71 million in short positions liquidated on derivatives exchange BitMEX, according to Datamish . Price has now began to consolidate in the $7,500 region, which could fuel a continuation rally back to the $8,000 region. However, the 100 exponential moving average (EMA) on the four-hour chart has been a bitter point of resistance on three occasions over the past month, and that level will need to be broken before an extended rally can take place. The 100 EMA currently lies at around $7,600, while the 200 EMA is at $7,950. Its also worth noting that in addition to last months death cross, the 100 EMA is now sloping dangerously towards the 200 EMA, which could indicate that a further downside correction is on the cards. If Bitcoin fails to break out above $8,000 over the coming weeks, it would mark another sinister lower high, which would suggest that the ongoing bear market is far from over and that downside price targets of $5,900 and $3,150 could well come into play.

Today's Key News: ['Bux , the Amsterdam-based fintech that wants to make investing more accessible, has acquired the European "social" cryptocurrency investment platform Blockport. Terms of the deal remain undisclosed, although Bux says the move paves the way for the company to launch its own branded cryptocurrency investment app. Dubbed " BUX Crypto," it will be available in the nine countries in which Bux operates, and is planned to go live in Q1 this year. In addition, we are told the founders and core team members of Blockport will join Bux and "take ownership" of the Bux cryptocurrency offering. Once launched, BUX Crypto users will be able to access a variety of financial assets and markets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP. The Blockport Token will also be rebranded to the BUX Token. "This will remain integrated in the platform and will also keep its trading discount function, which offers users a discount on trading fees," says Bux. Users will also be able to use the BUX Token in the future when more premium features become available, such as "advanced social community features" (whatever that means). The move is especially interesting in context of competitors such as Robinhood and, to some extent, Revolut, which, alongside Freetrade, compete with Bux in the U.K. in the fee-free trading space for public markets (well, once Robinhood launches in Europe), and soon crypto. “Bux users have long expressed interest in investing in cryptocurrency and we have been presented with an opportunity to bring on a committed and enthusiastic team that aligns clearly with our mission at Bux," says Nick Bortot, CEO and founder of Bux, in a statement. "This mission is to help young Europeans do more with their money. With BUX Zero and BUX X firmly positioned in Europe as the place to invest and trade, taking on a fully established cryptocurrency partner that can deliver the experience that our Bux users have come to expect was a natural fit for us." Meanwhile, Bux says it believes cryptocurrency will play a "vital role" in the future of the financial ecosystem. And that by including the crypto asset class, the company can position itself as a "360-degree solution" for all the investing needs of European millennials.

Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), too suffered marketwide losses on Thursday. What Happened President Donald Trump, in his Wednesday address, said that the U.S. wants to pursue de-escalation of the situation. The Trump Administration will move for economic sanctions instead of further military action, he suggested. “The U.S. is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it,” the president said, adding that Iran too appeared to be “standing down.” Trump was speaking in the aftermath of Iran’s strikes at Iraqi airbases that hosted American troops. No casualties were reported from the incident. Irani leaders, too, have said that the country will not pursue further escalation in the absence of American provocation. Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations told the bloc that it doesn’t seek “escalation or war,” and that its strikes were a “measured and proportionate military response.” Some analysts are doubting whether this will indeed be the end of Iran’s revenge for killing Soleimani, who was often described as Iran’s second most powerful person after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, The Nikkei Asian Review reported. The experts polled by The Nikkei noted that Iranian hackers are notorious for cyber attacks, and more such attacks could follow as revenge for Soleimani’s death. Nevertheless, fears of immediate armed conflicts seem to have eased.

The digital asset’s price jumped 5 percent Friday to $7,300 as of 16:07 universal coordinated time (11:07 a.m. in New York). The surge, which appeared to follow gains in oil and gold prices, pushed bitcoin into positive territory for the year-to-date, now up 2.2 percent. Mati Greenspan, founder of the cryptocurrency-focused research firm Quantum Economics, noted in an email that the U.S. attack drove up prices for gold, traditionally seen as a safe-haven asset whose value is expected to hold in times of geopolitical or economic instability. Many investors speculate that bitcoin bears similarities to gold, in terms of its perceived resistance to inflation. Related:American Cancer Society Now Accepting Bitcoin Donations Through BitPay Higher oil prices could make investors nervous about future economic growth while also potentially pushing up consumers’ costs at the gas pump, stoking faster inflation. Another consideration is whether the escalating tension might spur demand for bitcoin among Iranians, who have shown an appetite for cryptocurrencies in recent years as the Middle Eastern economy faced a host of sanctions ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. In lateDecember, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in a speech in Malaysia that Muslims might need their own cryptocurrency to “save themselves from the domination of the U.S. dollar and the American financial regime.” Iranhas “long been seen as one of the hotbeds for bitcoin adoption” due to U.S. sanctions on money transfers stemming from the country, not to mention a “very unstable economy,” according to Greenspan. Related:Hanukkah Reflections on My Year of Toying With Bitcoin But the news likely precipitated purchase orders from some investors who were already planning to buy bitcoin, Greenspan wrote. “The Iranian market in and of itself is likely too small and slow to have caused this move single-handedly,” according to Greenspan. “More likely, one or several players have been waiting on the side for a good buying opportunity below $7,000 per coin, and it seems one has presented itself.” Bitcoin prices surged 94 percent in 2019, making it one of the world’s best-performing assets, with roughly triple the total return charted by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks. • ‘Multi-Part’ Payments Could Bring Bigger Bitcoin Sums to Lightning Network • Bitcoin Price Set to Outshine Gold and Stocks by Big Margin in 2019... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Really_Cool_Dad', 'The last time nano was this low was...', 21, '2020-01-09 04:39', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanotrade/comments/em41bp/the_last_time_nano_was_this_low_was/', 'Dec. 1st 2017 nano was 0.229\n\nJan. 1st 2018 nano hit its ATH of $37.62 \n\nThat’s ~165x in just 30 days!!

In 2016, I supported Rand Paul, then Ted Cruz up until the primary (I am currently converting to Catholicism so I value Cruz’s Catholic background), and then Donald Trump in the general (but not much, I was vacillating between him and Johnson). I continue to be a pretty strong conservative. My economic views are left leaning, and my social views are right leaning.\n\nI came across Yang in February 2018 when I saw him mentioned offhandedly somewhere on the Internet, and I went to his website to take a look (it hasn’t changed much at all, except for all of the new pages for policies, volunteering and events). I was instantly enamored by his forward thinking policy plans, perceptiveness in the threat of automation, and the intelligence and sensibility behind his character. Honestly, I thought he had no chance- after all, he was nothing but a website at this point in time- but I kept interest and told some friends and family about him. As I began to see his interviews and as his campaign fleshed out, I joined the Yang Gang in earnest.\n\nAs a result, a lot of my economic conservatism softened out as I understood the impact of UBI, access to healthcare, and the role of economic support in shaping our communities and dealing with our social issues.\n\nHowever, I am still a conservative at heart, and despite how much I love the Yang campaign and have worked to spread the message far and wide, I disagree with him on various fronts.\n\n1. I disagree heavily with his stance on abortion. In my religious and secular views, I do not view abortion as a right. Although I tolerate contraceptives and believe greatly in sexual health and awareness, abortion- especially in later weeks of pregnancy- crosses the line for me. Roe v Wade should be overturned and not codified into law. In its place, I do support UBI, access to healthcare, improvements in sex ed and access to contraceptives- all of which would reduce abortion. I also support paid maternity leave, and improvements to our foster care system so that a pregnancy doesn’t have to be terminated.\n\n2. I also disagree heavily on his stance on 16 year olds gaining the right to vote. I’m a senior in high school, and I can’t even trust my fellow 18 year olds to make those decisions. Civics is usually only taught by your senior year of high school, so 16 year olds would be voting without even having a civics education. I think this plan is absolutely ludicrous, and we should revert the voting age to 21.\n\n3. I’m also in heavy disagreement with Yang’s support of court stuffing. The judiciary is, arguably, the most potent of the three branches of government and should not be messed with. It is supposed to be an impartial body of the nations best legal minds who interpret our laws within the context of the Constitution. Court stuffing essentially eliminates this precedent entirely. I’m also in disagreement with term limits for the Supreme Court. As our Justices gain experience on the bench, they become not only more accountable and visible to the public (eg Ginsburg, Thomas, Scalia) but also more competent at their work.\n\n4. Yang’s approach to gun control is somewhat acceptable, however my greatest issue is with licensing. In general, the government should not have a say in regards to what we can have to defend ourselves. I support the idea that some people shouldn’t have guns, but ONLY at the discretion of a court of law. I also think we should emphasize gun training much more- subsidize and emphasize it- so that lawful and morally just citizens have the ability to aptly defend themselves and others whilst not putting others at risk with their weapons.\n\n5. It doesn’t appear Yang has a strong stance on energy independence. I honestly think Yang should emphasize this more in the context of our foreign policy and economic security. Building off of the nuclear idea, as well as finding new ways to make fossil fuels cleaner and more efficient, should be a part of that (carbon capture, “clean coal”, finding new fuels, natural gas, making fracking/shale mining safer).\n\n6. As a securities trader in my spare time, a financial transaction tax would be BRUTAL. 0.1% on all trades and transactions is a LOT- especially given most trade fees are less than that. Over time, this adds up to a lot, and could kill investment in slower-moving markets where 0.1% could be the day’s gains. In the context of the trillions that flow through the derivatives and options markets each year, this becomes a massive burden for our financial industry. A reduction in the tax could work if revenue for the UBI is still needed, but we should explore other ways to raise money in less sensitive fields.\n\n7. The regulation of social media is going to be an impossible- and questionable- task. We should be striking at the heart of where hate and violence come up: economic or social insecurity, a lack of community or belonging, or negative cultural influences. I’ve been there before, and while I’ve been fortunate enough to lift myself out of that dark stage in my life (thanks to the Yang Gang!), many others still have that sense of insecurity in our society or in their personal lives. The internet is a free place, for better or worse, and we’re only ever going to get better results by attacking the core problem.\n\n8. DC and Puerto Rico are unfit to become states. As for DC, they compensate for their lack of representation by the amount of political influence there. DC’s representative is HUGELY influential in Congress, and DC is also very wealthy on top of that. As for Puerto Rico, it would be way too hard to integrate them as a state and it’s probably better for them to be sovereign.\n\n9. I support Voter ID as a means to prevent voter fraud SO LONG AS the process to get one is easy and very accessible for anybody.\n\n10. The Electoral College as it stands must be preserved and understood as one of the primary counters against the tyranny of the majority. By giving states the vote, we ensure that- especially as urbanization takes hold- every part of America gets to be heard. That means that rural states won’t be overshadowed by the urban ones, and the small man still has a seat at the table. This is at the core idea of what we are- the United STATES- and as one of the most geographically and culturally diverse countries on Earth, it would be egregious to simplify our decisions down to a popular vote. In every case, the people who live in states like Wyoming and South Dakota get snuffed out and their values and issues go unheard, as if they were already under the cultural, economic, and social influence of the bigger states. While we may sometimes get a President who didn’t earn the popular vote, that makes it ever so important that our candidates pay attention to ALL of America- not just California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida.\n\n11. I own Bitcoin and I’ve owned it since 2013 (I guess I’m lucky, right?). Cryptocurrency ought to remain free and anonymous and secure, and I don’t believe in regulating it extensively. The more we regulate it, the more it loses its purpose and vision, not only as a commodity, but also as a means of exchange.\n\nAnd that’s about it, out of Yang’s 105 or so policies, those are really the only ones I have a gripe about.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin slid by 2.73% on Thursday. Following on from a 1.49% fall from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,817.5. Bearish through the day, Bitcoin slid from an early morning intraday high $8,036.8 to a late intraday low $7,756.0. Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $7,795.6. Finding support late on, Bitcoin briefly hit $8,000 before sliding back into the deep red. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the current week’s gains. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was another mixed day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend for a 2 nd consecutive day, rallying by 2.52%, with Stellar’s Lumen also avoiding red (+0.04%). It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however. Ethereum (-2.08%) and Ripple’s XRP (-1.66%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-1.10%), EOS (-0.96%), Litecoin (-1.30%), and Monero’s XMR (-0.98%) also saw heavy losses on Thursday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.25%) and Tron’s TRX (-0.66%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap jumped from $197bn levels to an early Wednesday current week high $220.27bn before easing back to sub-$210bn levels. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $208.54bn. Bitcoin’s dominance eased back to 68% levels off the back of a 2 nd consecutive day in the deep red. Trading volumes had hit $100bn levels on Wednesday before easing back. At the time of writing, volumes were at sub-$80bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.07% to $7,822.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,806.8 to a high $7,848.9. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Litecoin (+0.18%), Monero’s XMR (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.49%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish start for the rest, with EOS (-0.40%) and Ethereum (-0.41%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $7,870 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,984.2. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $7,848.9. Barring a broad-based crypto rally on the day, Bitcoin would likely come up short of the 23.6% FIB of $8,200. Thursday’s high $8,036.8 and first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. Failure to move through to $7,870 levels could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall back through the morning low $7,806.8 would bring the first major support level at $7,703.4 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,600 levels and the second major support level at $7,589.3.

Brexit Bill Sails Through Parliament Parliament has seen its share of dramatic votes over Brexit in recent months, as lawmakers have held up various versions of a Brexit withdrawal bill. On Thursday, however, there were no fireworks, as the Brexit bill was approved in parliament by a large majority \x96 330 in favor, with 221 votes against the bill. The UK is on its way to leaving the European Union on January 31st, but the 11-month transition period will be a major test for London and Brussels, which must hammer out a new trade deal. EU officials have said this timetable is too short, but Prime Minister Johnson insists that he will not extend the transition stage.\xa0If the sides are unable to agree on a timetable, tensions could rise and nervous investors could lose confidence in the pound. All Eyes on U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls Following a very strong ADP nonfarm payrolls report, investors are hopeful that the good news extends to the official nonfarm payrolls reports, which will be released later on Friday. The ADP report found that the economy created 202 thousand jobs, crushing the estimate of 160 thousand. This marked the highest level since April. This was followed by a strong unemployment claims release on Thursday, which dropped to 214 thousand, down from 221 thousand a week earlier. Will the good news extend to the nonfarm payrolls report? Analysts are bracing for a drop to 150 thousand, down from 266 thousand a month earlier. Wage growth is expected to rise to 0.3%, up from 0.2% in November. We could see some movement from GBP/USD after the release of these key events. Technical Analysis The pound has posted slight losses over the past few days, but faces some support barriers close by. There is immediate support at 1.3050, followed by a major support level at 1.3000. Note that the 50-EMA line is just below, at 1.2998. On the upside, there is resistance at 1.3150. The next resistance line is at 1.3120. Story continues GBP/USD 1-Day Chart Pacific Currencies \x96 Daily Summary USD/CNY After losing ground during the week, USD/CNY has taken a pause on Friday.

A high hash rate generally reflects the amount of miners trying to validate blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain. The more miners who enter the network, the higher the hash rate becomes, and the difficulty of the new mining algorithm adjustment is increased. The difficulty adjusts automatically to ensure that block times remain consistent at around 10 minutes per block. Hash Rate chart from Blockchain.com In September 2019, Coin Rivet reported that the Bitcoin hash rate had crossed the 100 EH/s mark, which at the time was a highly significant benchmark and milestone for the network. The hash rate has only been below 100 EH/s for just one day so far this year, indicating that a consistent hash rate above 100 EH/s seems likely going forward into the new year. A higher hash rate results in a more secure Bitcoin network, as more participants means a greater degree of decentralisation. The hash rate is therefore a direct indication of how decentralised the Bitcoin network is. However, many experts also believe Bitcoins hash rate may correlate with the assets price. So is there any merit to this theory? What could hash rate mean for BTC price? Bitcoin has seen some positive price action in the last week, rising 8% since Friday , although what portion of this is attributable to an increase in hash rate is unknown. In the past, hash rate has correlated somewhat with price action. In late 2018 , hash rates declined slightly alongside Bitcoins slump to around $4,000. The hash rate has gradually risen since along with the price of Bitcoin. Despite this uncertainty, 2020 is indeed a key year on the Bitcoin calendar, as the block reward halving approaches in the coming months. The halving will see block rewards halved to 6.25 BTC, which may put increased pressure on prices and catapult BTC back to its historic highs or beyond. Its also worth bearing in mind that current hash rates are many times greater than in 2017, when BTC last reached highs of over $20,000. Story continues The hash rate has declined today to 111 EH/s, but it still remains well above the new benchmark of 100 EH/s.

But does the cliche actually hold true? If we work with a vague definition of the World Wide Web going live in 1991 , then within the first decade that ecosystem grew faster and had more demand for compliant use cases than bitcoin arguably has today, one decade in. Related: Bitcoin Makes Biggest Weekly Price Gain Since October In 1994, the New York Times reported companies were \x93rushing\x94 to set up shop via the World Wide Web, although the user experience was still \x93slow\x94 and \x93crude.\x94 Just like blockchain technologists, early internet companies ran into scaling issues. The 1994 Times report described the web as \x93already showing signs of suffering from its own success, as crowds compete for access to popular databases.\x94 Yet, people were already starting to think about subscription paywalls for content distribution. Industry insiders were so bullish on the commercial potential that in the December 1995 issue of Wired magazine, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy predicted the rise of \x93disposable word processors and spreadsheets\x94 priced per use and delivered via Java software. Within the first decade it was clear the internet could be used for commerce, interpersonal communications, marketing and education. There were established companies using it to turn a modest profit. Blockstream alumnus and founder of the Blockchain Commons , Christopher Allen, said he is \x93concerned\x94 about the lack of bitcoin adoption at this stage, which is why he is so optimistic about scaling solutions like the lightning network. Related: Bitcoin Retraces 45 Percent of Recent Price Gains as Bulls Lose Momentum \x93Lightning does have the potential to be where you buy your steak and bread,\x94 Allen said. \x93Until you buy your bread or steak with bitcoin, you\x92re going to have to convert to some other currency, no matter how good it is as a censorship-resistant medium.\x94 Story continues Netscape Navigator 3.02 Gold. (Image via Wikimedia Commons) To be fair, cryptocurrency has already proven its usefulness through cross-border collaboration. For example, the Decred treasury has distributed roughly $3.5 million worth of cryptocurrency to more than 60 contributors, according to the community\x92s press representative. Roughly 30 percent of these contributors hail from Latin America and 15 percent are from Africa, a more global distribution than comparable Silicon Valley startups. Even so, such experiments are a far cry from the \x93mainstream adoption\x94 many fans predict bitcoin will undergo in becoming a global, self-sustaining currency. Community roots Bitcoin may be behind the internet\x92s timeline in terms of commercial use cases, but it has already achieved comparable social functions. By 2001, the New York Times was describing internet services like email as a platform for relationship-building with former coworkers and classmates, while startups pioneered video and music streaming services. One such Yahoo group reportedly included 600 people \x93exchanging hundreds of messages a month about the bankruptcy proceedings, health insurance and the fate of their retirement plans.\x94 This may be comparable to crypto communities today, which rely on forums, GitHub and social networking platforms like Twitter. According to Allen, who focused earlier in his career on core internet protocols, the internet was also designed to offer more freedom of choice to the users \x96 even though, through big-tech consolidation, the industry eventually failed to reach that vision. From left, Mark Fletcher of AskJeeves, Rich Skrenta of Topix.net and Mena Trott of SixApart speak in 2005. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons) Zcash co-creator and Electric Coin Company CEO Zooko Wilcox agreed that the early software projects he worked on were supposed to offer \x93freedom\x94 and \x93end wars,\x94 because people would just talk things out over the internet. Wilcox said, looking back at his time in the 1990s working on bitcoin\x92s predecessor, Digicash , that he idealistically underestimated the importance of economic incentives. \x93What I would tell myself, if I could use a time machine, it just being compatible [with commercial use] isn\x92t good enough,\x94 Wilcox said. \x93This was a fatal flaw in the overall design of the [open software] movement, that is relied on ongoing volunteers or donations. It didn\x92t have a built-in economic feedback loop.\x94 Listen to Leigh\x92s full interview with Zooko Wilcox In this regard, bitcoin has a great track record during this first decade. Yet, it remains to be seen if bitcoin\x92s ecosystem provides a self-sustaining model. Similar risks Some coders believe early advocacy for strong legal frameworks that protect freedom, coupled with forward-thinking precautions, could help the decentralized \x93Web3\x94 avoid or minimize early mistakes. \x93Protocols would have a lot of flexibility in terms of what types of security you need, etc., and along the way we ended up creating the central Certificate Authority (CAs) business \x85 not quite realizing that 20 years later all the CAs all got consolidated,\x94 Allen said. \x93We were supposed to be able to choose which CA we trusted. Centralization crops up in odd ways.\x94 Marco Peereboom, a Dell alumnus and Linux veteran who is also currently the Decred community\x92s New Systems Development Lead, agreed with Allen that the internet was built by idealistic young men who wanted to \x93uplift humanity.\x94 (Not unlike crypto adherents today.) \x93I\x92m extremely disappointed with where we are today,\x94 Peereboom said. \x93The amount of snooping the government is doing, I didn\x92t anticipate. \x85 More cryptography early on would have done the internet a lot of good, and more advocacy as well.\x94 Along these lines, Allen is focused on work related to user-friendly-yet-secure key management and blockchain identity standards. Meanwhile, Peereboom is working to refine Decred\x92s open source funding experiments, which is how he earns a salary today. Much like the altcoin project Dash , Decred pays freelancers through public votes and grants collected from the network itself. Plus, Decred developers can earn money anonymously based on the merits of their contributions. \x93Until the internet moves away from the ad-sponsored model, it will only get worse,\x94 Peereboom said, referring to potential surveillance and corporate dominance via upcoming Web3 models. \x93I think anonymous payments are a must-have feature for any cryptocurrency to be around,\x94 he said. \x93I hope I\x92m not making the same mistake twice. But I really do believe cryptocurrencies have the potential to change the world.\x94 Bitcoin Genesis Block, Jan. 3, 2009. (Image via Wikimedia Commons) Beyond bitcoin From the perspective of veteran bitcoiners like Peereboom, many of whom are now focused on altcoin projects, bitcoin\x92s weakness is how difficult it is to update the software.

BTC has now broken most of its support levels and seems to be in a free fall, believed to be due to miner capitulation. Bitcoin has been consolidating since last month, and as such some analysts thought BTC would bounce back up at some point between $7,500 and $8,000. However, price movement went the other way and seems to be going down further. Will BTC recover soon? Let’s take a look at Bitcoin’s chart. BTCUSD chart, thanks to Trading View At the time of writing, Bitcoin is on a very bearish trend. Lower highs are giving way to significant price drops. Since the massive bull market that took Bitcoin close to $14,000 earlier in the year, the coin has been dropping in value following a downtrend that was only broken in late October when price broke through a number of key resistance levels (around the 200-day, 50-day, and 20-day EMAs). Bitcoin is now 32% down from October’s high of $10,350 and 50% down from the yearly high in June. Last week , I said I expected BTC to find a bottom near its 200-day EMA and that Bitcoin would bounce to around $10,000 soon. BTC has instead broken below its 200-day EMA and there isn’t much support volume to stop its fall. The current Bitcoin trend History shows us that BTC is prone to huge drops between 30% and 40% during bull seasons. Therefore, I don’t advise that you fight the trend, but surf it for as long as possible. Last week, I underlined that within the next three to five weeks, we could see a major reversal after a period of serious accumulation by ‘hodlers’. We’re still in an accumulation phase and the current downtrend is proof. Volume is again at yearly highs, currently above $28 billion, due to sell-off activity. In addition, the volume profile shows the next strong support level to be all the way down at $5,000. This means there is still a lot of room for a further drop. Story continues Will the trend reverse soon? As veteran traders and investors usually say, smart money “buys when there’s blood on the streets”. I’ve been saying for the past month that I’m waiting for major drops to make hefty new entries. Moments like these are highly welcomed and appreciated. I strongly believe Bitcoin to be a long-term store of value, especially as traditional markets continue to show weaknesses. How can the markets continue to push higher throughout the year after the ECB’s recent rate cuts, the continuous share buybacks from huge corporations, or the inverted bond yield shoving investors away towards riskier assets? In addition, repo market activity – as in loans from central banks to commercial and investment banks – has spiked to new monthly records. That adds up to another signal of weakness of the general economy. In conclusion, investors and traders should pay attention to the overall economic panorama, as it will most likely be a major catalyst for worldwide BTC adoption. Safe trades!

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On 3rd January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

It broke Bitcoin.\n\nIt was chosen as a way for those with large amounts of fiat value in BTC to be able to exit the system with minimum relative penalties, while trapping regular users. At their height, fees trapped you into not using BTC as currency, and taxed you if you exited the system.\n\nSay BTC hits 100k a coin. A million. Say you have a large amounts of speculators with small amounts of BTC. Speculation drives network demand up and only those with large amounts of BTC can use the currency to transact with. We saw $50 fees over a year ago. Those who had $5000 in BTC back in the time of maximum fees *paid 1% of their holdings in fees for a transaction.* With BTC's forced block cap, they've tricked small users into never being able to use their currency. Basically, it's a central banking type scheme. The rich get richer.\n\nRBF was also chosen to eliminate zero-confirmation transactions. Meaning BTC can not be used for immediate exchange, for example at a store. You have to wait for an average of 10 mins (historically max was 2+ hours), for a confirmation to guarantee the customer didn't RBF you (rip you off). Meaning it's useless as a currency.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin fell by 2.04% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 4.7% rally from, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,013.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $8,243.0. While falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin broke through the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 early on. Bearish through the late morning, Bitcoin fell to an intraday low $7,991.8 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,833.57, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $8,282.4. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $8,360.67, Bitcoin broke back through the 23.6% FIB. In spite of a late pullback through the 23.6% FIB, Bitcoin held onto $8,000 levels at the day end. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the current week’s gains. Bitcoin was up by 8.82%, Monday through Saturday. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was another mixed day for the majors. EOS (+0.34%), Litecoin (+0.71%), Monero’s XMR (+0.07%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.56%) found support. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV sliding by 12.11% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-1.19%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.06%), Ethereum (-1.56%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.58%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.11%) also saw red. For the current week, it was bullish across the crypto top 10, however. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, Monday through Saturday, surging by 36.87%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+16.76%), EOS (+11.59%), and Litecoin (+14.05%), also saw solid gains. Binance Coin (+6.27%), Ethereum (+5.41%), Monero’s XMR (+8.44%), Ripple’s XRP (+8.60%), Stellar’s Lumen (+6.77%), and Tron’s TRX (+7.7%) saw more modest gains. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap jumped from $197bn levels to an early Wednesday current week high $220.27bn before easing back. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $214.86bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance held onto 68% levels in spite of the loss on Saturday. Trading volumes revisited $100bn levels on Saturday before easing back. At the time of writing, volumes were at $89bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.73% to $8,072.4. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $7,951.7 before striking a high $8,072.4. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a sea of green across the crypto top 10. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.01%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.9%), and Litecoin (+3.10%) led the way early on. Monero’s XMR (+0.22%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.65%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.30%) trailed the pack. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $8,100 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,200.13 and 23.6% FIB of $8,200. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $8,072.4. Barring a broad-based extended crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside. Failure to move through to $8,100 levels could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall back through the morning low $7,951.7 would bring the first major support level at $7,909.53 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,900 levels and the second major support level at $7,805.37.

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 rose by 2.01% on Sunday. Reversing a 2.04% fall from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,714.7. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early intraday low $7,951.7 before finding support. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,909.53, Bitcoin bounced back to a late intraday high $8,174.7. In spite of the rebound, Bitcoin came up short of the first major resistance level at $8,200.13 and 23.6% FIB of $8,200. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the gain for the week. Bitcoin rallied by 11.01% through the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV (+10.65%) and EOS (+7.57%) led the way. Binance Coin (+3.02%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.72%), Ethereum (+2.87%), Litecoin (+4.15%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.87%) also saw solid gains. Monero’s XMR (+1.98%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.80%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.45%) saw more modest gains. It was also bullish across the crypto top 10 for the week. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, surging by 49.92%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+21.12%), EOS (+19.80%), Litecoin (+18.81%), Monero’s XMR (+10.23%), and Ripple’s XRP (+10.55%) also saw solid gains. Binance Coin (+9.34%), Ethereum (+8.34%), Stellar’s Lumen (+7.48%), and Tron’s TRX (+9.92%) trailed the frontrunners. Through the week, the crypto total market cap jumped from $197bn levels to an early Wednesday week high $220.27bn before easing back. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $218.04bn. Bitcoin’s dominance held onto 68% levels in spite of more modest gains for the week. Trading volumes revisited $100bn levels on Saturday before easing back. At the time of writing, volumes were at $79bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.13% to $8,164.1. Another mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $8.199.7 before falling to a low $8,135.8. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on, with the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 limiting the upside early on. Elsewhere, it was a sea of red across the crypto board. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.66%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.39%), EOS (-1.59%), and Litecoin (-1.07%), led the way down early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to break through the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,249.03. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $8,199.7. Barring a broad-based extended crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside once more. Failure to break through 23.6% FIB could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through the morning low $8,135.8 to sub-$8,100 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,026.03 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $7,877.37.

The department is about to complete a proof of concept program for a blockchain-based letter of credit for grant recipients, Craig Fischer, innovation program manager at the Treasury, said at a recent conference, as reported by Federal Computer Week (FCW) on Friday. The trial program tokenizes letters of credit to track the flow of grant money from federal reserves to grantees, per the report. Tokenization helps identify grant recipient, grant amount and key dates like when it was awarded, said Fischer. He added that grant recipients would need to have an electronic wallet associated with a bank account to receive a tokenized letter of credit. Its access, however, will be limited. "This isn\'t the Bitcoin network, where everything is visible" to everyone, he said.

That’s the message to anyone spooked by bitcoin’s brutal sell-off from several bullish experts interviewed by CoinDesk. The bellwether cryptocurrency has tumbled 11.5 percent in the last week or so, likely due to a lack of positive catalysts entering the picture and China’s latest crackdown on digital asset trading. It briefly dipped below the psychological level of $7,000 and as of this writing is trading around $7,117. But zooming out the lens a bit and taking a macro perspective, experts note at least three plausible reasons to think this may be just a hiccup for bitcoin. Related: Bitcoin Is Looking at a Short-Term Bull Reversal if Prices Pass $7,400 On the demand side, institutional trading platforms like Bakkt and Fidelity Digital Asset Services (FDAS) are starting to see uptake. Retail bitcoin purchases are on the rise at the popular consumer app Square as well. And all else equal, the expected halving of mining rewards next year bodes well on the supply side since it will reduce the amount of new bitcoin regularly injected into the market. “While the latest drop in price is a short-term cause for concern, the fundamentals around BTC and increasing institutional adoption continue up and to the right,” said Jehan Chu, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Kenetic, a venture capital and trading firm based in Hong Kong. Bakkt to business After a disappointing start in September, the Bakkt futures market has started to ramp up in earnest, hitting an all-time high on Nov. 22, with 2,728 contracts traded. That was a 68 percent increase on the day prior while open interest was up 29 percent on the day. Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts that have not yet been settled. A subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE, which also owns the New York Stock Exchange), Bakkt is a regulated platform and exchange for the purchase, sale and storage of crypto assets aimed at institutional traders and companies. Story continues Related: Charities Put a Bitcoin Twist on Giving Tuesday Its role has been to increase confidence and trust within the crypto-sphere amongst larger funds by offering more sophisticated trading instruments such as futures contracts that can be utilized to hedge against risk. “It’s actually good that it’s going to take longer for bitcoin to hit the next all-time high because it shows how the market is maturing and with more institutions jumping in,” said Josh Rager, an analyst and co-founder at Blockroots, an education platform for trading focused on the BTC market and crypto-assets. High Fidelity Similarly, platforms targeting large investors, such as FDAS , launched earlier this year by mutual-fund powerhouse Fidelity Investments, provide a vital service for those larger funds seeking a safer avenue to enter crypto without having to rely on exchanges to store their crypto. They are likely boosting long-term sentiment by providing custody options for digital assets, experts told CoinDesk. Fidelity Digital Assets, the nascent cryptocurrency trading business servicing institutional investors, also features an onboarding service with dedicated client support that makes the process of entering the space more convenient and legit from a large investor’s perspective. Institutional adoption continues at a “rapid pace,” said Gabor Gubacs, director of digital assets strategy at asset management firm VanEck. “Lower BTC prices are more accessible and healthier entry points for new BTC allocators,” said Gubacs. To be sure, it’s not as accessible as some may have hoped. Gurbacs’ firm, for example, withdrew a proposed bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) from consideration by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in September, after the regulator signaled it was in no hurry to approve any such vehicle for retail investors. Instead, VanEck is selling shares in an ETF-like bitcoin fund strictly to institutions. Squaring off Another encouraging sign for the bulls is the fact that first-time buyers of bitcoin through Square’s Cash app have roughly doubled , with the company’s bitcoin revenue climbing 244 percent year-over-year to $1.27 billion in the third quarter. Admittedly, Square only started offering bitcoin purchases in November 2017 (near the peak of the last bull market), so that triple-digit growth is from a small base. Also, the company’s profits from bitcoin sales have been comparatively tiny, in the low seven figures. Still, for Chu, the data bolsters the case for optimism, when combined with the developments on the institutional side. “Bakkt trading volumes are steadily increasing, retail purchases on Square are at high levels, and platforms like Fidelity continue to create comprehensive access to Bitcoin for their customers – all of which are bullish long-term signs for bitcoin,” Chu said. ‘Fundamentals are different’ Then there are the key metrics about the asset itself. Rager noted that the hash rate, a measure of how much computing power is being devoted to the bitcoin network, has tripled since the previous all-time price high of $20,000 December 2017. In his interpretation, institutions are selling to force weaker hands to capitulate, so the larger funds can accumulate BTC at lower prices ahead of the halving expected in May 2020. Jonny Moe, a crypto day trader and analyst, agreed that the halving was the single biggest factor relating to the bullish long-term case and that BTC itself is a deflationary currency whose purchasing power should grow over time. “To this point, all the evidence we have is that price has respected this disinflation in supply,” Moe said. “Until we see it stop following this four-year cycle, the most simplistic long term view is to just respect it and let it continue.” But bear in mind that this point is up for debate . Some traders aren’t sure history will repeat itself. Previously, those buying bitcoin in anticipation of the halving had the wind at their back, in the form of an already-bullish market, crypto trader Willy Woo noted recently. “Well this time around, we have gone $14k->$7.5k and that’s killing off weak miners who are dumping and dying,” Woo tweeted . “This adds to the already bearish action, so no happy front running 6-months out due to sell pressure. You can’t draw repeat fractals, the fundamentals are different.” Disclosure: This author holds no cryptocurrency at the time of writing .

More and more Venezuelans are adopting cryptocurrency every day after facing one of the worst periods of hyperinflation in recent history. The ongoing crisis, which began in 2016, has seen the price of the Venezuelan bolívar (VEF) dwindle, with the Central Bank of Venezuela estimating inflation rates of over 53.7 million percent between 2016 and 2019. As its purchasing power declines and huge piles of cash are required for the most basic necessities, desperate Venezuelans have been turning to Bitcoin instead. Volume on peer-to-peer exchange and Bitcoin marketplace LocalBitcoins has skyrocketed from just over 13 billion VEF this time last year to 360 billion VEF last week. LocalBitcoins volume by week, VEF – source: CoinDance Huge premiums in Venezuela However, Venezuelans are so eager to use the decentralised currency that there is currently a $700 premium on the price of BTC in the South American nation. This has declined slightly in the past day, but some media sources are reporting prices of over $1,500 higher than the current spot price. In July 2019, Venezuela’s controversial president Nicolas Maduro urged the Bank of Venezuela to adopt the nation’s own cryptocurrency, the Petro . The Petro, which is allegedly backed by oil, is Maduro’s attempt to stabilise the beleaguered Venezuelan economy. However, many economists have criticised the scheme, calling it unsustainable. Many have pointed out that the country’s over-reliance on oil exports paired with declining global oil prices over the last few years were the original cause of Venezuela’s hyperinflation – leaving little room for improvement through the Petro. It now seems that rather than trust another government-backed currency, Venezuelans have opted to use a decentralised and trustless option instead. Story continues Other Latin American nations, such as Argentina, have been quick to adopt cryptocurrencies as well. A weak Argentine peso has forced many Argentinians to explore BTC payments, evidenced by an all-time high in Bitcoin trading leading up to Christmas in 2019.

BTC broke most of its support levels during November as the coin looked to be free falling. However, BTC found support near $6,700 last week and bounced back up to around $7,800 before dropping again. Will BTC recover soon? Let’s take a look at Bitcoin’s chart, courtesy of TradingView . At the time of writing, Bitcoin is on a very bearish trend. Lower highs are giving way to significant price drops. Since the massive bull market that took Bitcoin close to $14,000 earlier in the year, the coin has been dropping in value following a downtrend that was only broken in late October when price surprisingly broke through a number of key resistance levels (around the 200-day, 50-day, and 20-day EMAs). Bitcoin is now about 35% down from October’s high of $10,350 and close to 50% down from the yearly high in June. Last month , I said I expected BTC to find a bottom near its 200-day EMA and that Bitcoin would bounce to around $10,000. BTC has instead broken below its 200-day EMA and there isn’t much support volume to stop another fall. If the $6,700 level was to be broken, the next stop for BTC, if the volume profile is to be believed, is just above $5,000. The current Bitcoin trend History shows us that BTC is prone to huge drops between 30% and 40% during bull seasons. Therefore, I don’t advise that you fight the trend, but surf it for as long as possible. Last week, I underlined that within the next three to five weeks, we could see a major reversal after a period of serious accumulation by ‘hodlers’. We’re still in an accumulation phase and the current downtrend is proof. Volume has dropped to around $17 billion as a result of the consolidation period. This means there is still a lot of room for a further drop if volume picks up again. Will the trend reverse soon? As veteran traders and investors usually say, smart money “buys when there’s blood on the streets”. I’ve been saying for the past month that I’m waiting for major drops to make new entries. Moments like these are highly welcomed and appreciated. Story continues I strongly believe Bitcoin to be a long-term store of value, especially as traditional markets continue to show weaknesses. How can the markets continue to push higher throughout the year after the ECB’s recent rate cuts, the continuous share buybacks from huge corporations, or the inverted bond yield shoving investors away towards riskier assets? In addition, repo market activity – as in loans from central banks to commercial and investment banks – has spiked to new monthly records. That adds up to another signal of weakness for the general economy. In conclusion, investors and traders should pay attention to the overall economic panorama, as it will most likely be a major catalyst for worldwide BTC adoption. Safe trades!

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On 3rd January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin rallied by 8.36% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.97% fall from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,772.6. Bullish throughout the day, Bitcoin rallied from an early morning intraday low $8,095.8 to a late intraday high $8,829.0. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin broke through the major resistance levels and 23.6% FIB of $8,200. While pulling back from $8,800 levels, Bitcoin held above the third major resistance level at $8,408.57 at the day end. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the upward momentum. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a particularly bullish day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, surging by a whopping 145%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+30.69%), EOS (+22.09%), Ethereum (+15.51%), Litecoin (+17.81%), Ripple’s XRP (+10.68%), and Tron’s TRX (+13.38%) also bounced. Binance Coin (+9.63%), Monero’s XMR (+8.54%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+9.03%) trailed the pack on the day. Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rallied from a Monday low $215.38 to a Tuesday current week high $244.24bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $243bn. Bitcoin’s dominance tumbled to 65% levels as the broader market surged on Tuesday. Trading volumes also jumped, hitting $168bn levels before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $167.5bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.38% to $8,739.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $8,661.5 before striking a high $8,859.7. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 7.28% to lead the way down. Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash ABC also joined Bitcoin in the red, with early losses of 0.62% and 0.26% respectively. Story continues It was bullish for the rest of the pack, however. Binance Coin (2.68%), Monero’s XMR (+3.81%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+3.65%) led the way early on. EOS (+0.60%), Litecoin (+1.08%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.88%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.88%) saw modest gains. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $8,859.7 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,035.8. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high to $9,000 levels. Barring a broad-based extended crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance level at $9,035.8 would likely cap any upside. Failure to break through the morning high could see Bitcoin give up some of Tuesday’s gains. A fall back through the morning low $8,661.5 to sub-$8,600 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,302.6 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$8,600 levels on the day.

Today's Key News: ['View Bitcoin is facing temporary bullish exhaustion, according to Wednesday’s “doji” candle. The case for a notable pullback will strengthen if prices break below Wednesday’s low of $8,555. That could yield a drop to $8,200.

The bitcoin market istelling a tale of bullish exhaustion with indecisive price action following arise to the highest point since November. The top cryptocurrency witnessed two-way business on Wednesday. Prices rose from lows near $8,550 seen during the Asian trading hours to a two-month high of $8,903, only to end the day (UTC) on a flat note at $8,808, according to CoinDesk’s Bitcoin Price Index . Essentially, bitcoin createda “doji” candle, which is widely considered a sign of indecision in themarketplace. Related: JPMorgan Veterans’ Kadena Launches Public Blockchain, Integrates Wallet to Cosmos Network In this case, however, the candle could be considered a sign of buyer exhaustion, as it has appeared following a sharp rally from $6,850 to $8,900 and suggests the indecision is predominantly among the bulls. The price action seen so far today is telling the same story. The cryptocurrency fell from $8,800 to $8,575 during the Asian trading hours and has struggled to chart a strong bounce ever since. This is in contrast to the quick reversals from sub-$8,600 levels seen in the previous two days. At press time, bitcoin is trading near $8,600, representing a one percent drop on a 24-hour basis.

That, however, looks unlikely with the five- and 10-day averages continuing to trend north. These averages, currently located at $8,508 and $8,276, respectively, tend to reverse pullbacks when they are on an upward trajectory. Further, the longer duration charts have recently turned bullish. Wednesday’s high of $8,903will likely come into play if prices violate the lower high of $8,705 seen onthe hourly chart in the next few hours. A break above $8,900, a level that has acted as strong resistance in the last 48 hours, would likely invite stronger buying pressure, yielding a quick move to the 200-day average at $9,100.

However, despite the recent decline, LTC price has risen almost 19% since last week. Litecoin experienced exponential growth during the summer of 2019, hitting a yearly high of about $140 in August before breaking down over the second half of the year. Litecoin reached a low of around $37 before recovering to $40, where the altcoin consolidated for a few weeks. Overall, from high to low, Litecoin lost about 68% of its value in the second half of 2019. Interestingly, at the time of writing, LTC seems to be in better shape after a much-needed pump earlier this week. Litecoin has already pushed over $50 and seems to be targeting $60, but is facing resistance from the 200-day EMA. Will the positive trend continue? Let’s take a look at the LTC chart, courtesy of TradingView . As you can see, after touching the 200-day EMA (the blue line) earlier this week, LTC seems to be dropping back down. Last week , I mentioned I could not foresee the price of LTC making a substantial move without first pumping above $50.

As previously reported by Coin Rivet , the $8,830 level will be a stern test for BTC as price was rejected there on October 10 as well as numerous times in May before the eventual rally to $14,000. Bitcoin will now either come back to test the $8,450 level of support or attempt another breakout above $8,830, which could spur a rally towards the psychological level of $10,000. However, before $10,000 is tested, there is another level of resistance at $9,330, which became a level of support following the bearish reversal from Junes local high. The daily relative strength index (RSI) remains in a bullish position moving into the second half of the week after making a clear higher high of around 70 during yesterdays rally. The stochastics also reiterate the bullish sentiment with clear upticks in the bullish control zone demonstrating that more upside price action is likely in the coming week. Another bullish case for Bitcoin is that the 22 and 50 exponential moving averages (EMA) are moving at a rate of knots towards the 200 EMA, which would indicate a golden cross on the daily chart that will undoubtedly cause a significant rally to the upside.

Partially reversing a 4.88% rally from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,460.8. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $7,611.0 before falling to a mid-morning ow $7,454.6. Steering well clear of the first major support level at $7,055.33, Bitcoin held onto $7,500 levels through to the late morning. A late morning pullback saw Bitcoin fall back to $7,460 levels before rallying to an early evening intraday $7,690.0. Despite the breakout from $7,500 levels, Bitcoin fell well short of the first major resistance level at $7,866.13. Tracking the broader market late on, Bitcoin fell back to an intraday low $7,415 before finding support. Whilst steering clear of the first major support level, the pullback left Bitcoin in the red for the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of 3 days in the green from 4. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the majors on Thursday. EOS and Binance Coin slid by 3.28% and by 3.23% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-2.28%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.83%), Ethereum (-1.33%), and Litecoin (-1.86%) also saw heavy losses. Ripple’s XRP (-0.43%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-1.06%) saw more modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap slid to a Monday low $180.76bn before rebounding to a Thursday current week high $208.02bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $203.27bn. Bitcoin’s dominance rose from 66.2% to 66.5%, following Wednesday’s break out and more modest loss on Thursday. 24-hour trading volumes fell back to $65bn levels on Thursday, having peaked at $133bn levels earlier in the week. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.78% to $7,519.0. A relatively bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,450.0 to a high $7,519.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Binance Coin (+1.01%), EOS (+1.20%), Ethereum (+0.98%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.95%) found strong support early. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.38%) and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.37%) trailed the pack through the first hour. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,520 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,628.87. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,600 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound on the day, Thursday’s high $7,690 and first major resistance level at $7,628.87 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,520 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall back to sub-$7,500 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,353.87 into play. Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,300 support levels on the day.

A variety of tactics are used by hackers and their methods are improving every day. The most common strategies adopted by scammers include financial pyramid schemes, exchanges targeting exit scams, fake web and hardware wallets, and even Ponzi schemes. In order to better understand how hackers successfully steal your cryptocurrency , I will take an in-depth look at each method using real-life examples. Hopefully, by understanding how hackers operate and what red flags to look out for, youll be better prepared to fend them off and successfully protect your coins. In this article, Ill discuss Ponzi schemes, financial pyramid schemes, and fake web and hardware wallets. Ponzi schemes According to Investopedia , Ponzi schemes (or scams) are based on fraudulent investment management services. Investors typically contribute money to the portfolio manager who promises them a high return. Afterwards, when those investors want their money back, they are paid out with the incoming funds contributed by later investors. The person organising this type of fraud is in charge of controlling the entire operation they merely transfer funds from one client to another and forgo any real investment activities. One of the biggest Ponzi schemes in crypto one that currently keeps adding selling pressure to Bitcoin is the Plus Token scam. Plus Token was a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme disguised as a high-yield investment program. Platform administrators closed down the operation in June 2019 after withdrawing over $3 billion in stolen cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EOS. A report by Chainalysis, a US-based blockchain analysis company, claims Plus Token was one of the largest Ponzi schemes ever and was potentially responsible for the 2019 downturn in BTC price. Story continues The report claims that there are still at least 20,000 BTC and 790,000 ETH missing which could be dumped on the market at any time. Financial pyramid schemes A financial pyramid scheme is structured so that the initial schemer must recruit other investors who will continue to recruit other investors, and those investors will then continue to recruit additional investors, and so on. There will be an incentive that is presented as an investment opportunity, such as the right to sell a particular product or high earnings per recruit. Each investor pays the person who recruited them and so on. The recipient must share the proceeds with those in the higher levels of the pyramid structure. One key difference is that pyramid schemes are harder to prove than Ponzi schemes. They are also better protected because the legal teams behind corporations are much more powerful than those protecting an individual. Just recently in Brazil , a group called Bitcoin Banco (Bitcoin Bank) is alleged to have conducted a million dollar exit scam . The group was in charge of a great deal of exchanges in the country and promised set returns to investors who traded the exchange currency, Negociecoins. However, according to analysts, This profit did not exist because the company needs investor money to produce order book orders. Fake wallets One of the most common mistakes by junior cryptocurrency users is to fall prey to fake cryptocurrency web wallets and hardware wallets. Since some users trust Google and other search engines to look up websites, its quite easy to click on the wrong website. To avoid making this mistake, always check the website youre accessing is the real one. There are loads of fake URLs and GitHub repositories with the sole purpose of stealing your precious cryptocurrency. A simple solution is to save websites you visit often, like web wallets and exchanges, into your browser favourites list. That way, it will be near impossible to fall prey to fake URL hacks. Conclusion Before making any decisions about trading your cryptocurrency or investing in a new coin, make sure you complete thorough research. Keep on top of the latest news and trends as reports of scams begin to increase. Most of all, dont forget to apply everyday digital best practices to your activity. Cryptocurrency scams and vulnerabilities will continue to evolve as the industry grows and its your responsibility to stay protected. Safe trades!

Paul Chou was the firm's CEO while Juthica Chou was the president and chief risk officer, per their LinkedIn profiles. They are also husband and wife. As a temporary replacement, Larry E. Thompson will act as interim CEO and lead director of Ledger Holdings. A Wall Street veteran, Thompson was the former vice-chair of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). LedgerX offers bitcoin options contracts to both retail and institutional investors. LedgerX made headlines in August after the announcement of a new physically-delivered futures product soured. After announcing the new product, a source told The Block the firm hit a snag with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Indeed, the firm never secured the proper licensing to offer futures to retail clientele, the agency later confirmed to The Block. A day after the original announcement, LedgerX pulled back on the announcement, which included the launch of a new retail platform Omni. Previously, LedgerX strictly catered to institutional investors. Sources familiar with Chou's thinking told The Block at the time that he was under the impression that the agency was playing favorites, paving an easier path for its better-connected rivals, such as Bakkt and ErisX. Indeed, the former Goldman Sachs trader threatened to sue the regulator following the botched launch. "Also breaking, i've decided to sue the CFTC for anti competitive behavior, breach of duty, going against the regs, etc.," one tweet noted. Since August, Bakkt has launched its market for physically-delivered futures. On Monday, it launched a cash-settled contract on ICE Singapore as well as an option tied to its bitcoin future.... - 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: ['(Bloomberg) -- Cryptocurrency skeptic Peter Schiff said he can’t access his Bitcoin holdings after his digital wallet stopped accepting his password. “I just lost all the Bitcoin I have ever owned,” Schiff, chief global strategist at Alliance Global Partners, said in a series of posts on his unverified Twitter account. “My wallet got corrupted somehow and my password is no longer valid.” In a follow-up post, Schiff said it was “not that great a tragedy” as the Bitcoin were gifted to him. “My plan was to HODL and go down with the ship anyway,” he said, employing a phrase used to describe holding on to the security. “The difference is that my ship sank before Bitcoin.” Many Twitter commentators pointed out that the Bitcoin holdings still exist, even if Schiff cannot currently access them. Schiff is also not the first victim of crypto password issues.

Dual Currency Investment is the first-of-its-kind digital asset management product released by Matrixport. The calculation method is determined by the "Linked Price", and it is guaranteed that one of the two digital assets will always generate profit. Recently, Matrixport released Dual Currency-USDⓢ with the annualized yield as high as 100%. As its name implies, it is a Dual Currency investment that supports USD stable currency (USDT/USDC) payment. Compared with Dual Currency-BTC, investors will feel more comfortable with the Dual Currency-USDⓢ, because they don\'t need to bear the fluctuation risk of BTC as the investment currency is USD stable currency. When the investment is at expiry, investors can collect more USDC or get cheaper BTC.（ https://shence.matrixtechfin.com:8406/t/y ） According to Matrixport\'s official product parameters: Linked Price: 8,000; Expiry Date: 25-Jan-2020; Yield: 5%; Investment Currency: USDC On 9-Jan-2020, the user bought 10,000 USDC notional of the above product. On 25-Jan-2020, if BTC/USD Settlement Price is above 8,000 USD, The user gets 5% return on USDC, which is 10,000(1+5%) USDC, which is 10,500 USDC. If BTC/USD Settlement Price is at or above 8,000 USD, the user gets 10,000/8,000(1+5%) BTC, which is 1.3125 BTC. Basically, the User will definitely get 5% yield on the expiry date - the only uncertainty is whether to receive BTC or USDC, depending on where BTC/USD is on the expiry date. Dual Currency-USDⓢ currently supports two types of USD stable currency payment, USDT or USDC. Please be noted that when an investor uses USDT for investment, it will be valued in equivalent USDC. For example, if the current exchange rate of USDT is 0.99 USDC when the investor pays 1000 USDT to buy Dual Currency - USDⓢ, the actual investment amount will be 990 USDC. The reason for using this calculation method is that the exchange rate of USDC is more stable and secure, and thus USDC could improve the asset security for the investors and platforms.

Bitcoin endured a distressing exponential moving average death cross on the daily chart on November 23, with several analysts suggesting that a descent to $5,900 is now on the cards. However, there has been a period of relative calm since the death cross, with Bitcoin languishing along the $7,350 level of support following a brief rally to $7,850 earlier this week. The previous two death crosses took place during the 2014 and 2018 bear markets, with Bitcoin proceeding to fall by more than 60% on both occasions. A slump of the same magnitude this time around would take Bitcoin to last Decembers bitter lows of $3,150, although analysts like Tone Vays and Peter Schiff have been calling for targets lower than $1,800. In order for Bitcoin to rally back towards new highs, it would need to trigger a technical reversal, which would only happen if it can close a daily candle above the death cross at $8,662. The most likely stopping points for Bitcoin over the coming weeks are the $6,750 and $5,900 levels of support, both of which held for significant amounts of time during the 2018 bear market. Upside targets remain at $7,900 and $8,400, although a news event may be required to drive attention and positive sentiment in the market.

A similar transaction was also successfully processed in November 2019, with a whale moving 44,000 BTC , around $300 million at the time, for just $0.32. Unfortunately, fees this low are only available to huge transactions, and the percentage transaction fee to send smaller values of BTC is considerably greater.

It turns out the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission previously told the asset management firm that it could file the proposal — only if it pulled it immediately afterward, according to Blockforce’s CEO. The proposal was filed under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which would have resulted in it becoming automatically approved within 75 days. Yet, the firm followed the regulators’ suggestion and pulled the proposal just a day after it was filed. The SEC declined to comment on whether or not it had given the initial proposal a green light. “They said, ‘We liked the idea … but we’re going to ask you to pull it immediately because we don’t want to see it get approved just yet,’” Blockforce CEO Eric Ervin said. “They were really interested and engaged on it. They came back to us and said, ‘If you did it as an interval fund, then you might have a chance.’” Related: SEC Reveals Telegram’s Communications With Investors, Seeks to Question Advisor With an interval fund, investors can only get in and out of the fund once per period (usually weekly, monthly or quarterly), making it less vulnerable to manipulation. The regulator worried a fund that traded throughout the day and had open liquidity would be subject to manipulation. The fund also trades on the net value of the underlying asset, rather than on large premiums of the asset. “If we had more resources at the time, we probably would have done it and tried to get an ETF approved,” Ervin said. “We had a lot going on in the business, and we put it on hold.” For Blockforce, a seasoned ETF issuer that had already launched a blockchain-based ETF, getting the ball rolling on an eventual bitcoin ETF and being the first to release a proposal for something like one was more important than keeping its idea a secret between Blockforce and the SEC, Ervin said. Story continues Blockforce developed the diversified and bitcoin-conservative ETF to put the regulator at ease; even if bitcoin went to zero, investors would only lose 15 percent. According to Ervin, the regulator saw an opportunity to get more public comment on a contentious issue. Related: SEC Chair Clayton: Bitcoin Needs ‘Better Regulation’ Before Major Exchange Listing “It was a known fact that we would need to file if it was going to go on the public record,” Ervin said. “It puts another application for people to comment on. The SEC has been really eager to get comments on a bitcoin ETF or an ETF with bitcoin in it.” Ervin predicts the industry will eventually get a pure bitcoin ETF passed when the SEC’s leadership changes, and envisions current Chairman Jay Clayton stepping down and commissioner Hester “Crypto Mom” Pierce becoming the new head. Bitcoin is a valuable volatile asset for any portfolio, Ervin added. If any portfolio is rebalanced regularly, two volatile and uncorrelated assets that are bought low and sold high can help to dampen overall volatility. “A bitcoin ETF is a perfect example of an non-correlated alternative asset that works well to balance out a portfolio of just stocks and bonds,” Ervin said.

Ripple’s XRP and Bitcoin Cash ABC weren’t far behind with gains of 0.63% and 0.52% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to break back through Tuesday’s high $8,787.2 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,847.53. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $8,800 levels.

In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test the second major resistance level at $8,960.97 before any pullback. We would expect Bitcoin to continue to come up short of $9,000 levels on the day. Failure to move back through Tuesday’s high $8,787.2 could see Bitcoin struggle. A fall through to sub-$8,670 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,560.33 into play.

When the halving event finally comes around in May, I see two major possibilities: A) BTC increases in price in order to accommodate miners at the current mining difficulty. B) BTC price stays more or less the same and we see miners capitulating as they become unprofitable. To better understand which scenario is most likely to happen, I believe two key data points need to be taken into consideration – namely the hash rate (and expected hash rate) and the behaviour of hodlers. Bitcoin’s hash rate has once again reached new all-time highs , but how does that relate to the amount of Bitcoins that haven’t moved? Will Bitcoin hodlers keep holding during a bull market? At what percentage levels have miners and hodlers sold the majority of their positions? And does the hash rate predict price swings or the behaviour of hodlers? Hopefully, I’ll be able to answer some of these questions below. Hash rate hits new all-time highs CM estimates have Bitcoin's Difficulty increasing by ~8% in 4 days time to reach a new ATH at ~15,000,000,000,000 This is due to the implied hash rate of Bitcoin maintaining ATH levels since Jan 1 pic.twitter.com/MfLOKTJNiK — CoinMetrics.io (@coinmetrics) January 10, 2020 As Bitcoin’s hash rate increases, mining difficulty also increases. That’s exactly what’s been happening with Bitcoin since the beginning of 2020. As estimated by CoinMetrics, a research firm specialising in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has been steadily increasing at a rate of 8% over the last four days. The analysis conducted by CoinMetrics shows that in the next four days, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty will reach a record value of approximately 15,000,000,000,000 TH/s. Just as the hash rate is a good measure for price prediction, the difficulty adjustment is also an important data point. Some believe it has some correlation with cryptocurrency price drops and spikes as miners enter and leave the market. The Bitcoin difficulty target adjusts every two weeks to ensure that blocks are added at regular intervals. Therefore, this data point is closely linked to the profit of the miners. Story continues Consequently, the link extends to miner capitulation and the general market price as well. As such, it seems there is a direct correlation between the difficulty adjustment and Bitcoin rallies. At what point do miners sell? Rien ne va plus #bitcoin 🚀 pic.twitter.com/epwODQ40cm — PlanB (@100trillionUSD) September 10, 2019 One of my favourite crypto analysts and the creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow model, PlanB, suggested the price of Bitcoin has a tendency to rally during mining difficulty downturns. The analyst revealed that since the creation of Bitcoin, there have been several cycles of difficulty adjustments, and for each new rally, the trend has been one of a declining magnitude. Therefore, I personally believe that during the next bull run, we could see miners and hodlers selling a great deal of their positions when Bitcoin’s price hits between 1,000% to 5,000% above the difficulty bottom. If you’re wondering about “when”, historically we have two periods of price appreciation and two periods of price downfall. Since 2018 and 2019 have been declining years compared to all-time highs, I believe Bitcoin will pump over 2020 and 2021. At what point do hodlers sell? Bitcoin UTXO age distribution Interestingly, for Bitcoin’s price to skyrocket, hodlers need to sell . The graph above, courtesy of Unchained Capital , shows the unspent transaction output (UTXO) of Bitcoin over time. The data shows that during moments of price appreciation, long-term Bitcoin hodlers have a tendency to sell. However, during periods of price decline, long-term hodlers buy BTC . The red, yellow, and orange bands represent the amount of BTC being exchanged. The green and blue bands show the amount of BTC that hasn’t moved for up to five years or more. As you can see, the blue band has been consistently increasing and now accounts for close to 25% of the total BTC supply. This means a great deal of hodlers have been increasing their stacks. While there was some sell-off pressure (the yellow and orange bands) during 2019, it seems buyers are now back in control. To conclude, what the above data shows is crucial to understand when price will most likely appreciate. In my opinion, only when we start to see the blue and green bands increasing between 10-20% will a proper bull run begin. When will that happen? Probably between the end of 2020 and start of 2021. Until the halving, I expect long-term hodlers to continue to accumulate as miners sell their coins to keep farms profitable. Safe trades.

As Trump received loans from the subsidiary, DBTCA, totaling over $360 million, Gazprombank sent $511 million in cash to DBTCA to be dispersed however it directed.\n\nIn a statement, Deutsche Bank said that DBTCA’s relationship with Gazprombank was one in which the Russian state bank moved significant amounts of money into DBTCA as part of a “cash management” arrangement: “At no point has DBTCA ever received loans or a capital injection from Gazprombank or any other Russian bank,” a spokesman for Deutsche Bank said.\n\nDBTCA loaned Donald Trump a significant portion of the $2.5 billion total lent to him by Deutsche Bank. The breach report provided by Broeksmit is a inside look into DBTCA’s complete financials around the time DBTCA issued several of its largest loans to Trump. In 2012, DBTCA approved a $125 million loan to purchase the Trump Doral Resort in Florida. Also in 2012, Trump took out an additional loan on his Chicago property, and in 2015, yet another DBTCA loan, this one worth $170 million, allowed Trump to purchase a 60-year lease to the Old Post Office Building in Washington, D.C.\n\n\nThe Site that originally came out with this is currently under cyber attack, so Here is a Link on the [WAYBACK MACHINE](https://web.archive.org/web/20200121223508/https://forensicnews.net/2020/01/21/russian-government-bank-deposited-500-million-into-deutsche-bank-subsidiary-as-it-lent-to-trump/)\n\nFor a More in-depth look I suggest taking a look at the [MOSCOW PROJECT](https://themoscowproject.org/collusion-chapter/chapter-1/) to gain a better idea of what Trump owes Russia.\n\n\n[Jess Coleman breaks it down](https://mobile.twitter.com/jesskcoleman/status/1219776405267009541)\n\n1. According to documents exclusively obtained by \n@forensicnewsnet\n, a Deutsche Bank subsidiary, DBTCA, owed $500M+ to Gazprombank, one of the largest banks in Russia, as of October 2013.\n\n2. Around that same time, DBTCA made some of its most highly scrutinized loans to Donald Trump. These include:\n\n - a $25M loan to develop Trump Doral Resort in 2012\n - a loan to develop a Chicago property in 2012\n - a $170M loan to to lease to the Old Post Office building in 2015\n\n3. The $500M owed to Gazprombank is DBTCA\'s greatest single liability to a foreign-owed entity. Overall, DBTCA owed more to Russian-controlled entities than the next three countries combined.\n\n4. This is not DBTCA\'s only brush-up with Russian entities. As the \nWall Street journal reported, DBTCA made a large loan to VTB that it tried to shed in 2016.\n\n5. In addition, forensic news recently reported that a whistleblower told the FBI in 2019 that VTB underwrote loans made by DBTCA.\n\n\n6. According to Deutsche Bank, the major liabilities to Gazprombank are part of a "cash management" relationship, whereby individuals and entities use DBTCA to convert rubles into US dollars. The money is then directed pursuant to Gazprombank\'s wishes.\n\n\n7. Deutsche Bank has had its issues with financial crimes. In 2017, the bank was fined over $600M by the New York Fed for failing to prevent a Russian money laundering scheme.\n\n8. That scheme involved a process called "mirror trading," whereby Russian entities used DBTCA to secretly convert cash into U.S. currency. A more detailed explanation is [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0j_zd6RzuQ&app=desktop):\n\n9. Donald Trump continues to fight a subpoena from the House of Representatives to obtain his financial records from Deutsche Bank. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on that subpoena this summer. \n@robertjdenault and I broke down that case here:\n\n10. When Robert Mueller was reportedly seeking Trump\'s financial records at Deutsche Bank, Trump "exploded," shouting, "This is bulls---!" We still don\'t know why.\n\n11. When forensic news first reported on Deutsche Bank\'s ties to Russia, our site was hit with a sophisticated cyber attack and our PayPal account was blocked. We are now facing a similar attack today.\n\n12. While Trump\'s relationship with Deutsche Bank (and DB\'s relationship with Russia) remains murky, one thing is clear: Trump\'s financial well-being is intimately tied to Russia. That, at the very least, is a major counter-intelligence issue.

Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those. Instead, we want to cast our gaze back over the preceding 12 months and recap several fascinating events and trends that occurred. Whether you missed them the first time around or need reminding about their newsworthiness, you’ll want to read on. 1) The Crypto Credit Bubble Back in October, a group of former Wall Street traders cast a pall on the success of crypto lending companies by predicting that the $5 billion crypto loan bubble wasset to burst. Concerns centered around a lack of regulation, cheap credit and blind faith in the market’s strength. The growth of decentralized finance (DeFi), with its emphasis on open-source projects and accessible finance for all, undoubtedly ties in to this fear, not least since DeFi hasgrown by over 300%in the past year. But while greed was largely responsible for the financial crash of 2008 (as well as the ICO slowdown), there are greed-free initiatives flourishing in this space.Credis just one example. The decentralized global lending platform, which is affiliated with the Universal Protocol Alliance and headed by ex-PayPal Holdings Inc(NASDAQ:PYPL) exec Dan Schatt, prides itself on its comprehensive regulatory and compliance framework. Last summer, Cred partnered withBitcoin.comto give customers the opportunity to earn interest on their digital assets. 2) Libra In Limbo Facebook Inc’s (NASDAQ:FB) much touted Libra stablecoin was formally announced in June, but was soon enveloped in a tsunami of regulatory red tape, leading to aCongressional moratoriumand a mass exodus of companies from the Libra Association – not least PayPal,Visa Inc(NYSE:V),eBay Inc(NASDAQ:EBAY) and Stripe. What happens next is anyone’s guess. In the meantime, alternatives have come to light. The aforementioned UPA’sUniversal Dollarand Saga’s SGA token, which launched in December, are among them. The latter is a stablecoin initially backed by a basket of national currencies (mimicking the IMF’s SDR basket), and given that Saga’s advisory board includes luminaries like Professor Jacob A. Frenkel, PhD, chairman of JPMorgan Chase International, it’s definitely one to watch. 3) One-Year Anniversary For RSK Infrastructure Solutions (RIF) December marked the one-year anniversary of RSK Infrastructure Framework Open Standard (RIF OS), based on the first open-source smart contract network secured by the Bitcoin network. This stack of decentralized finance components enables developers to import, create and deploy their EVM based dApps, and pulled off a major coup in 2019 by acquiring leading Hispanic social network Taringa. RSK’s SmartBitcoin is pegged 1:1 with BTC, and there’s also a BTC-collateralized stablecoin under the company banner, with libraries, a decentralized exchange, lending protocols and insurance rounding out the stack. With the permissionless of open finance and the security of Bitcoin’s proof-of-work, RSK is building a robust defi ecosystem with a myriad of real world applications. 4) Tron Joins Forces With Samsung Tron solidified its status as a top-15 crypto asset – as well as one of the most liquid by volume on many global exchanges – in the past 12 months. It also struck a landmark deal with Samsung, with the tech giant integrating Tron’s TRX cryptocurrency with its Blockchain Keystore. What’s more, the link-up allows users of newer Samsung handsets to use TRX to purchase decentralized applications built on the Tron network. With blockchain-based content sharing platform DLive having commenced migration to the TRON blockchain at the tailend of 2019, the next 12 months are shaping up to be interesting for Justin Sun’s company. Are you really surprised? 5) Crypto Platform Sponsors Premier League Team Newcastle United’s decision to partner with crypto trading platform StormGain, which saw the company logo appearing on the sleeves of all 2019/20 shirts, reflected a recent trend: the season before, Wolves had sealed the first ever sports sponsorship deal involving a crypto platform, namely CoinDeal. In any case, partnering with the Magpies was quite a coup for StormGain, who only launched last summer. The margin trading platform lets crypto newcomers buy or trade the most popular and capitalized coins, with up to 150x leverage and trades denominated in tether (USDT). Perhaps other major sports outfits will grab a piece of the Premier League glitz before the 2020/21 season gets underway. 6) Litecoin Halves With the crypto world gearing up for Bitcoin’s halving in May 2020, Litecoin’s quadrennial halving in August attracted a great deal of interest. The second halving event in Litecoin’s history followed an anticipatory rally, wherein LTC hit a June high $146 before backsliding to sub-$40 levels. Despite the fire sale, LTC ended the year with a 38% gain. 7) Interoperability Everywhere Interoperability’ was one of the buzzwords of 2019, as the developers of crypto protocols sought to find ways to make other crypto protocols talk to them. Cross-chain swaps, sidechains, atomic swaps and all manner of other blockchain voodoo was deployed in a bid to de-silo crypto networks and usher in a new era of connectivity. Some of the finest work was undertaken by EOS scaling solution LiquidApps, which has done more to unite blockchains than perhaps anyone operating in the space. In 2019, its DAPP Network eased the strain on the EOS main chain and drove down resource costs for dApp developers. In the process, it showed that there’s more than one way to scale a blockchain. 8) Esports Goes Crypto The esports and crypto audiences are closely aligned and it was only a matter of time until their houses were united. The $1 billion esports market is showing no signs of slowing down, and projects like Kronoverse are betting on it. The blockchain company is placing esports games on-chain, so that players and fans have an auditable record of all results, coupled with the ability to trade in-game items using NFTs. Provably fair casino gaming, delivered with the aid of blockchain, has already begun to gain traction on the web. If Kronoverse has its way, provably fair esports will soon follow suit. The world of Bitcoin is never dull, and 2020 is sure to reinforce that truism. With bitcoin derivatives volumes growing, the DeFi market expanding, and crypto-friendly banks proliferating, buckle up for another thrilling year in the cryptosphere.

Others have said this before, but if you don\'t like what 51% hash power is doing, it\'s an attack. If you do, it\'s an upgrade. 51% of hash power has always been able to do things like this. This is not new. 51% of the mining power could always censor any transaction. But they won\'t, because game theory and their economic incentives directs them not to do this. It\'s the same thing here. \n\nThis is basically just a more free market and anarchic way of funding development than what DASH has, where it\'s built into the rewards system. It\'s essentially miners donating their rewards to make the ecosystem and coin better, except doing it in a game theoretic fair way that makes sure everyone contributes. And if people in these mining pools don\'t like it, they can stop offering their hash power, and offer it to someone that opposes it. If there\'s backlash from the community like that, most likely this proposal won\'t go through. But I hope it does, and I expect it will, because miners donating millions to BCH is not a good thing. It\'s a very very good thing.\n\nThis makes far more sense than leaving development completely unfunded, and this is more decentralized than both DASH and BTC. This is anarchy in action - development has been agreed to by mining actors rather than the top holders (or those who\'m they\'ve hired, i.e. DASH, which I like btw) or outside groups like Blockstream (BTC). Instead, this is the part of our community most invested in seeing Bitcoin Cash succeed. The miners, who have invested millions into mining equipment, probably hold millions in BCH, and are donating millions to see BCH succeed, are not nefarious actors. They\'re are strongest supporters and investors, and have been screwed over by Blockstream when the Segwit 2X agreement was broken. They need one of the SHA-256 coins to succeed and we all know if won\'t be Bitcoin BTC. My guess is a much larger portion of the mining power supports BCH than currently mines it - they\'re just held captive by the current prices of the two currencies.\n\nComplaining about there being only 4 mining companies that agreed to this, and that therefore this is centralized uses the same logic as those who are against ASIC\'s and support shitcoins like Vertcoin because "muh decentralization." Economics dictates that there are millions of different restaurants, but not nearly as many car companies, nor nearly as many large supply stores like Walmart, Target, or Costco. Decentralization isn\'t an end in and of itself, but only a good in so far as it serves Bitcoin. If there were 1 million phone companies instead of like 4 or 5, then phones would suck. In fact, we probably wouldn\'t even have them. But competition makes those companies work for the consumer. Likewise, here the miners are steered by economic incentives to support the BCH network. It\'s only them that will lose if they do not.\n\nSo in short, nothing has changed. So what\'s all the fuss about when we\'re about to see an explosion of Bitcoin Cash development?

The numbers are staggering. Global stocks have piled on more than $10 trillion, bonds have been on fire, oil has surged almost 25%, former crisis spots Greece and Ukraine have top-performed, and even gold has sparkled. Wall Street <.SPX> and MSCI's near 50-country world index <.MIWD00000PUS> have both stormed to record highs after 30% and 24% leaps. Europe, Japan, China and Brazil are all up at least 20% in dollar terms too. Not exactly shoddy. A mirror image of 2018, when almost everything fell? Perhaps. But there have been a couple of important drivers. One was China showing it was serious about stimulus for its $14 trillion economy. The other was the screeching change of direction by the world's top central banks, led by the Federal Reserve, which cut U.S. interest rates for the first time since the financial crisis more than a decade earlier. "Whereas a year ago the Fed was raising rates and earnings were rolling over, this year you have felt the Fed has been on your side," said James Clunie, who manages asset firm Jupiter's Absolute Return Fund. "They are willing to do QE4 at a stock market (record) high, which is extraordinary," he added, referring to Fed efforts to bring down a spike in money market rates that some suggest could presage a fourth round of quantitative easing asset purchases. Graphic: Global markets in 2019 - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/13/103/103/Pasted%20Image.jpg That Fed shift and the worldwide blizzard of rate cuts that have come since have fired bond markets up like a rocket. U.S. Treasuries, the world's benchmark government IOU, have made a whopping 9.4 percent after yields plunged as much as 120 basis points. That followed a near 40 basis point fall the last quarter of 2018, after five quarters in which they had consistently risen. German Bunds -- Europe's safest asset -- have had their best year in five years, making roughly 5.5% in euro terms as the European Central Bank has reversed course too. The yield on 10-year debt dropped below zero percent for the first time since 2016 in March and dived as deep as -0.74% in September. Graphic: U.S. Treasuries vs German Bunds - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/13/102/102/Pasted%20Image.jpg In commodities, oil has raced up almost 25% following its best first quarter since 2009. That, plus key dividend rule changes, has made Russia's stock market the best in the world with a 40% rise and also made the rouble a top three currency. Metals have had a more mixed time. Copper is only 4% higher after buckling badly when trade tensions flared in the middle of the year, and aluminum is down 2%. But palladium, used in car and truck catalytic converters, has boomed 55%, while gold has had its best year since 2010 with a 15% jump. A statistic likely to make most jaws drop is that Greek banks -- remember all that euro debt crisis and capital controls stuff a few years back? -- have been some of the world's best-performing stocks this year. The country's biggest lender Piraeus Bank <BOPr.AT> is up 250%, as is smaller Attica Bank <BOAr.AT>, helping make Athens Europe's strongest bourse this year. But even those gains look skimpy in comparison to Californian video streaming darling Roko <ROKU.O>, whose shares have risen 440% this year. FANGTASTIC Tech has remained top more broadly. Apple <AAPL.O> may just have lost its crown as world's most valuable firm to Saudi Aramco but it can console itself with its 77% leap this year. Facebook <FB.O> has surged 57%, Microsoft <MSFT.O> 53%, Google <GOOGL.O> 30%, Netflix <NFLX.O> 24% and Amazon <AMZN.O> 19 percent. China's tech sector <.CSIINT> is right in mix too with a 64% rally and online behemoth Alibaba <BABA.K> up 53%. Cryptoassets have been typically wild. Bitcoin was up over up 260% in June but it has been hauled back to around 85%. Riskier high-yield debt, corporate bonds and local currency emerging market bonds and have all brought in between 11%-14% while Ukraine's dollar bonds and Greece's euro bonds have piled on over 30%. "It is just a great year for the asset class," said Pictet emerging market debt portfolio manager Guido Chamorro. "It has been a relentless rally across the board over the last couple of months and it is possible that it continues into next year."

In contrast, the Fed's pirouette and easing of trade tensions means the dollar index <.DXY> is about to experience its worst quarter in 1-1/2 years.

Argentina's peso <ARS=> and Turkey's lira <TRY=>, 2018's punchbags, have taken another beating. Argentina's woes have worsened such that it is restructuring its debt again while Turkey's worries have not really gone away.

Russia's rouble is up 11% and Egypt's pound <EGP=> is sandwiched in between with a 11.7% gain.

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: ['Max Boonen is the founder and CEO of crypto trading firm B2C2 . This post is the third in a series of three that looks at the structure of crypto markets. Opinions expressed within are his own and do not reflect those of CoinDesk. In the two previous articles , I summarized the evolution of speed in modern finance and the balancing act between good and bad latency reductions. Let us now examine the venues where trading takes place and how they fare in this world of increasing speeds. To trade financial assets, a variety of market designs are possible: those are called market microstructures. We will explain three major ones found in crypto today, why they exist and how one should evaluate them. Related: Continued Losses See Bitcoin Erase 40% of Recent Price Rally The CLOB This is the classic exchange, represented in popular culture by the ubiquitous facade of the NYSE. What exchanges provide is known as a central limit order book (“CLOB”). It is central because all participants send orders to it. It is “limit” because the price specified by an order indicates the limit (worst) price at which the trader is willing to transact. Any new order either trades against a pre-existing, opposite order or remains in the order book at its limit price. Participants can therefore both execute instantly against resting orders (to “take,” to be “aggressive”) or wait for execution by others (to “make,” to be “passive”). By and large, those passive orders are placed by professional market makers. Importantly, trading in a CLOB is entirely anonymous – or so one hopes – pre-trade and normally post-trade, too: the exchange sits in the middle of all trades. Traders pay commissions, often with volume discounts. The single-dealer platform On a single-dealer platform, or SDP, clients trade with one liquidity provider (conventionally, either a bank or a so-called non-bank liquidity provider such as B2C2 ) on a “name disclosed” basis, since the dealer runs the proprietary platform and knows who is trading. Clients “take” and the dealer “makes” as a principal, meaning that when a client buys, the dealer sells and vice versa. This is not to be confused with an agency model where the middleman transmits client orders to an actual dealer or venue. In the dealer model, there is no commission but the client faces a variable bid-offer spread to compensate the market maker for the financial risk it is taking. B2C2’s over-the-counter (OTC) platform was the first single-dealer platform in crypto, having operated since 2016. Unlike an exchange, not all participants see the same price; in fact, there may be as many unique price feeds as counterparties, for reasons that go way beyond simply rewarding big customers with favorable terms. Story continues Related: Bitcoin Faces Move to $8,200 After Dropping Out of Trading Range The aggregators Instead of receiving one single feed, clients receive an aggregation of different prices and can pick the best one. While diverse in their mechanics, aggregators put market makers on one side and price takers on the other. A crypto example is CoinRoutes . Takers are normally anonymous before the trade with disclosure of the counterparty to the liquidity provider after the trade. Aggregators are not exchanges! First, the settlement relationship is often (but not always) bilateral, meaning the takers must be onboarded by each liquidity provider they want to interact with, and bilateral credit limits have to be respected. Second, and crucially, the makers typically cannot take. Aggregators, like exchanges, charge a commission. Adverse selection: a tension within all markets Where should one trade? The answer depends on the interaction between your trades and the liquidity provider(s) on the other side. Imagine you want to bet on the winner of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. You’ve done your research and feel quite confident. One person in particular is keen to take the other side of your bet: the famous statistician Nate Silver . Do you still want to bet? While an election represents the sum of each person’s vote, few can predict its outcome; the same goes in financial markets. Most participants do not know where the market is going; those who do are called informed traders. When it comes to the U.S. political landscape, Nate Silver is informed because he might know something you don’t and his willingness to bet against you is an indication of that. This is adverse selection. Note that being informed nowadays means being fast. It does not actually refer to knowing where the price will be a month, a day or even an hour from now. As renowned economist Andrew Haldane put it : “Adverse selection risk today has taken on a different shape. In a high-speed, co-located world, being informed means seeing and acting on market prices sooner than competitors. Today, it pays to be faster than the average bear, not smarter. To be uninformed is to be slow.” Recall my previous post on the latency arms race. In the high-frequency context where market-making takes place, the most brilliant quantitative fund might be considered uninformed as long as it is not operating in the high-frequency spectrum. Market makers have to balance the losses incurred against informed traders with the spread they earn from everyone else. Diff’rent strokes: What might be right for you might not be right for some Exchanges are the venues with the highest adverse selection because everyone can take indiscriminately and anonymously. Aggregators come in second since they are partly anonymous but the makers cannot take. As explained in Part 1, market makers are also high-speed informed traders, thus a venue lowers its average toxicity by preventing the makers from taking. Lastly, bilateral relationships have the least adverse selection since the dealer knows exactly how informed any individual client is. In essence, the spectrum represents a trade-off for the investor between receiving better prices at the cost of disclosing more information or being turned down altogether. As a result of the tension above, markets naturally iterate through the following cycle: 1) informed traders are identified by liquidity providers as less profitable trading relationships 2) liquidity providers thus show more conservative prices to more informed traders, and more competitive pricing to everyone else 3) the most informed traders have no choice but to switch to more anonymous venues: aggregators first, then exchanges 4) adverse selection becomes exacerbated on exchange due to the arrival of those new informed traders, thus the market impact (broadly defined) of trading increases, incentivizing uninformed traders to leave exchanges in favor of direct relationships with market makers where they receive comparatively better pricing 5) rinse and repeat until such time as there is strong self-selection of traders: on one side, high-speed, informed trading with high market impact on exchanges; on the other, less expensive liquidity in the OTC market. This is what has happened in the foreign exchange market over the past 10 years. EBS and Reuters, the primary CLOBs, lost market share to single-dealer platforms as the arrival of high-frequency trading firms in the FX market pushed banks to retrench in favor of direct OTC relationships. Per the BIS , “On the one hand, liquidity provision has become more concentrated among the largest banks, which reap the benefits of a large electronic network of client relationships to internalize a large part of their customer flows. Many other banks, however, have found it hard to compete and have resorted to an agency model of market-making or have exited the business altogether.” The same evolution marked crypto in 2019. Exchange market-making has become extremely competitive after the entry of big high-frequency trading firms in early 2018 while the technological cost of running a single-dealer platform – as opposed to the voice trading of yore – forced crypto trading firms to adapt . We now witness a separation between a handful of principal dealers like B2C2, and firms focused on OTC redistribution (the agency model). Is aggregation next? A separate dynamic is at work with aggregation, one that has yet to play out in crypto. At first glance, it is always better to have more liquidity providers than fewer. But that’s wrong, because it takes two to tango. A measure of it is good, but too much and adverse selection again rears its ugly head. The reason: winner’s curse. In an exclusive relationship, the liquidity provider executes all the client’s trades, good and bad. With a dozen aggregated liquidity providers, having shown the best price often means that it was too good a price, irrespective of how informed the client actually is. As a consequence, liquidity providers worsen pricing parameters for highly (and naively) aggregated flow. Research by Deutsche Bank explains how aggregation can worsen execution for uninformed (!) traders, with higher rejections and wider spreads. Crypto might not go through a round of higher-than-warranted aggregation before the pendulum swings back as it did in the FX market. First, there are few electronic liquidity providers in crypto and fewer still that are good enough to deal with aggregation. Second, maintaining numerous separate relationships is operationally costly, especially with exchanges in an industry where the mantra is “not your keys, not your coins.” To paraphrase Matt Levine, no need to painfully re-learn the lessons of venue selection in conventional markets! Conclusion: The right tools for the right task I predict 2020 will be a year where, unsatisfied with exchange pricing (in terms of fees and market impact), large traders rethink their relationships with exchanges. In doing so, looking at fees and spreads is not sufficient. Assessing how one’s activity pushes the market against oneself must be part of the toolbox, too, and more.

At least five local exchanges have halted operations or announced they will no longer serve domestic users this month, after regulators issued a series of warnings and notices as part of a cleanup of digital currency trading. China’s stepping up scrutiny of its massive cryptocurrency industry just weeks after President Xi Jinping ignited a market frenzy by declaring Beijing’s support for blockchain technology. Financial watchdogs including the Chinese central bank have in past weeks ordered crypto firms to shutter and warned investors to be wary of digital currencies, seeking to rein in a market prone to excesses. Weibo, a Chinese Twitter-like service, suspended accounts operated by major exchange Binance Holdings Ltd. and blockchain platform Tron. Taken together, the latest wave of shutdowns and restrictions represent the biggest cleanup of the sector since an initial Chinese clampdown in September 2017. Although exchanges that allow users to buy Bitcoin and Ether with fiat money were banned, trading had remained rampant in China through over-the-counter platforms or services that deal with crypto assets only. Now, even those alternatives have succumbed to regulators, spooking investors. Bitcoin this week sank to its lowest level in six months at the end of its longest losing streak since at least 2010. The largest crypto-currency recovered with a 6% rebound on Wednesday but is still poised to post its worst month since November last year. Twenty of the top 50 crypto exchanges are based in the Asia-Pacific region and accounted for about 40% of Bitcoin transactions in the first half of the year, according to data from Chainalysis. Within the region, the most exchanges are in China, the research firm found. Aaron Hu, a 26-year-old computer engineer in the central Chinese city of Changsha , said he moved all the crypto he holds -- several million yuan’s worth -- from exchanges like Binance and OKEx to his own wallet address. “The first thing I thought of is how to secure my assets,” he said.

Rival Biss said this month it’s halted operations while executives cooperate with a government probe. Btuex said on Monday it will shut in response to Chinese government orders, reopening in future to serve only overseas users. And Idax said on Sunday it will also no longer serve users in China but focus on users abroad, citing policy reasons. “It appears that, like everything else within their borders, China feels it needs to have tighter controls on the crypto market including exchanges, miners and asset issuers,” said Katie Talati, head of research at Arca, a Los Angeles-based asset manager that invests in cryptocurrencies. “I do believe, however, they are moving in a similar direction as Japan and other jurisdictions that have tight and clear regulations for crypto businesses.” For now, uncertainty over how deep the apparent crackdown will run has spurred traders to transfer their money to safer places. One of crypto’s largest wallet apps, ImToken, said Tether transactions among its nearly 10 million users surged to $66 million on Nov. 22, the day China’s central bank issued its latest warning against crypto trading. That’s more than double the app’s average daily Tether transaction in October, the IDG-backed startup told Bloomberg News. Tether, a so-called stable coin pegged to U.S. dollars, is a popular vehicle for investors to move their money into and out of crypto coins. “The current situation and environment for blockchain in China is still very positive,” Tron founder and crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun said. “In the short term, it may not get as much progress as we’d expect.” Here’s a timeline of the recent developments from China that’s been blamed for the plunge: On Nov. 13, Binance’s Weibo account was suspended.On Nov. 14, the Chinese central bank’s Shanghai office and the city’s financial regulator issued a notice asking local government agencies to work with crypto-related companies under their supervision to exit such businesses immediately. On the same day, Beijing’s financial regulator published a statement warning against illegal exchange operations.On Nov. 15, Tron’s Weibo account was frozen.On Nov. 21, Shenzhen financial regulator said in a statement it’s looking into allegedly illegal crypto operations, organizing check-ups and gathering evidence.On Nov. 21, crypto publication the Block reported Binance’s Shanghai office was shut in a police raid. Binance disputed the report, or that it has fixed offices in China.On Nov. 22, the Chinese central bank’s Shanghai branch said in a statement that companies that have conducted publicity campaigns, or have offered other services to offshore crypto exchanges, have been ordered to take immediate corrective actions or exit the business.

Reversing a 0.52 gain from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,353.7. A particularly bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin slide from an intraday high $8,447.2 to an early morning intraday low $8,280.0. Falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $8,287.73. Finding support through the afternoon, Bitcoin recovered to $8,400 levels before sliding back to $8,300 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, supported by this week’s pullback. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the majors. Cardano’s ADA and EOS led the way down, with losses of 3.85% and 3.68% respectively. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.29%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.29%), Ethereum (-1.35%), Litecoin (-2.04%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.25%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-1.05%) also struggled. Binance Coin (-0.94%), Monero’s XMR (-0.05%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.61%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. For the current week, it’s been a mixed week, however. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-8.84%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-7.18%), Litecoin (-7.51%), Monero’s XMR (-5.88%), Ripple’s XRP (-6.67%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-6.49%) saw heavy losses. Binance Coin (-2.65%), EOS (-3.22%), Ethereum (-3.98%), and Tron’s TRX (-2.65%) saw relatively modest losses, Monday through Saturday. Cardano’s ADA bucked the trend, however, gaining 2.69% in spite of Saturday’s pullback. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $234.19 to a Wednesday high $243.39bn. The 2 nd half of the week sell-off saw the total market cap fall to a Friday current week low $226.29bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $230.34bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance held onto 66% levels with the broader market seeing heavier losses in the week. On Monday, 24-hour trading volumes had hit $122bn levels before falling back to sub-$80bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $72.28bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.19% to $8,369.7. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin slide to an early morning low $8,301.0 before striking a high $8,373.1. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the crypto majors. EOS led the way, rising by 1.29%, while Monero’s XMR (-0.07%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.53%) saw early red. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $8,373.1 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,440.60. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $8,400 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound on the day, Bitcoin would likely fall short of $8,500 levels on the day. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $8,527.5 would likely cap any upside. Failure to move back through the morning high $8,373.1 could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall back through to sub-$8,360 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,273.4 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 should limit any downside on the day.

Elisabeth Kashner is director of ETF research and analytics for FactSet.] The top ETF story of 2019 isn\x92t nontransparent active, ESG or marijuana. It\x92s not commission-free trading or the Schwab-TD tie-up. It\x92s the relentless demand for super-low-cost ETFs. Investor appetite for ever-cheaper ETFs is driving flows and shaping asset growth. Investors are demanding low-cost funds across every strategy group in equity, fixed income and even commodities. That includes actively managed ETFs, ESG and smart beta. Asset managers are adapting, but are they moving fast enough? Those currently queuing to enter the ETF business should pay close attention to ETF pricing, especially in ESG and active management. Fee Cuts Fee compression saves investors money but creates challenges for fund issuers. Compression came by way of fee cuts and via asset transfer to lower-cost products. 2019 fee cuts returned $95 million to investors over the course of the year. Fee cuts outnumbered hikes by a factor of seven. ETF issuers dropped expenses for funds containing 31.5% of assets over the course of 2019. Fee hikes were scarce, covering just 4.1% of ETF assets. New investors and those who sold expensive ETFs in favor of cheaper alternatives benefited too, as their overall costs dropped. A look at the top ETFs by net flows tells the story. Six of the top 10 ETFs saw a fee drop this past year.

It's been another wild and wacky ride of a year in the tech world: breakthroughs and disgraces, triumphs and catastrophes, cryptocurrencies and starships, the ongoing rise of utopian clean energy and dystopian cyberpunk societies and, most of all, the ongoing weirding of the whole wide world. In other words, it was another perfect year for The Jons, the annual award that celebrates dubious tech-related achievements, named, in an awe-inspiring fit of humility, after myself. We've got quite a lineup for you this year, folks. So lets get to it! With very little further ado, I give you: the fifth annual Jon Awards for Dubious Technical Achievement! ( The Jons 2015 ) ( The Jons 2016 ) ( The Jons 2017 ) ( The Jons 2018 ) THE CATLIKE FINANCIAL REFLEXES AWARD FOR LANDING ON YOUR FEET AFTER UNMITIGATED DISASTER To Adam Neumann, who presided over the spectacular rise and even more spectacular fall from grace of WeWork, which proudly launched its proposed IPO this year and promptly saw most of its valuation (and its cash) disintegrate in a sea of eyebrow-raising stories about delusional irresponsibility and the harsh realities of actual business. However, give Neumann credit: stories may have made him sound like a pot-smoking surfer dude who lived in a hallucinatory fantasyland, but -- unlike his employees, whose dreams of IPO wealth were suddenly and completely shattered -- he managed to walk away from the business he drove nearly into the ground with a reported $1.7 billion windfall . THE EVERYBODY'S BEST FRIEND AWARD FOR INSPIRING NOSEBLEED VALUATIONS AND ASPIRATIONAL POSTERS EVERYWHERE To Masayoshi Son, whose widely announced dreams of a $108 billion Vision Fund II turned into the relative nightmare of something " far smaller " -- but still has his surreal, dreamlike slide decks to fall back on. After all, " SoftBank works to comfort people in their sorrow ." THE WE MAY AS WELL JUST GIVE HIM A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR ELON DOING HIS ELON THING To -- obviously -- Elon Musk, who actually had a really good year: Tesla stock got " so high " it brushed the price at which he previously announced he would take it private (he didn't); SpaceX launched Starlink, a " very big deal "; and he was acquitted of defamation for calling a complete stranger a pedophile on Twitter. OK, so he also announced Starship should reach orbit by this coming March , and smashed the Cybertruck's allegedly unbreakable windows onstage at its unveiling , but still, a good year! See you in 2020, Elon. Story continues THE IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T CONVINCE, TELL AN EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS TALE AWARD FOR RISIBLE SATOSHI NAKAMOTO CLAIMS To Craig Wright, who has long claimed in the face of mocking industrywide disbelief to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and especially for his claims that, now work with me here, the keys to 1 million of Satoshi's bitcoin were put in a "Tulip Trust" by a long-deceased collaborator and will be delivered to him by a "bonded courier" on January 1, 2020, i.e. a few days from now. The judge he told this to was, unsurprisingly, spectacularly unconvinced , saying Dr. Wrights demeanor did not impress me as someone who was telling the truth," and also reproached him for his "willful and bad faith pattern of obstructive behavior." You don't say. THE DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, BUT ONLY IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY DEAD AWARD FOR LEAVING A TRAIL OF CRYPTOCURRENCY CHAOS IN ONE'S WAKE To my fellow Canadian Gerald William Cotten, the founder of QuadrigaCX, who apparently stole and/or lost essentially all of his customers' money, spending much of it on "luxury goods and real estate," before his death in Mumbai last year. "But Jon," you say, "how does this quality for a 2019 Jon Award?" Because the many thousands who lost money are now demanding an exhumation to determine that the body in Cotten's grave is, in fact, Cotten. As for the surviving founder, he's "a reported ex-con who served 18 months in a federal U.S. prison for identity theft, bank fraud and credit card fraud." Is this the end of this crazy story ? ...Well, probably yes . But in the world of cryptocurrencies, which reliably gives us the most jawdropping Jons, who can say for sure? THE I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE BABY AND IT'S PRETTY CRAZY AWARD FOR EPITOMIZING OUR CYBERPUNK PRESENT To Lil Nas X, a previously unknown queer black American teenager who made a country-trap song with a beat he purchased for $30 from a Dutch producer, which sampled an obscure Nine Inch Nails deep cut; recorded it in less than an hour for $20 ; crafted a hundred memes to publicize it on a new Chinese-owned video-snippet social network until it went viral courtesy of a Yeehaw Challenge meme; then saw it hit first country and then crossover success, and become the longest-reigning Billboard No. 1 single of all time . Does it even get more postmodern cyberpunk than that? Lil Nas X, this is your world (well, and Billie Eilish's) -- we just live in it. THE POWER TO DRIVE BABY BOOMERS COMPLETELY MAD AWARD FOR BEING SENSIBLY UPSET ABOUT THINGS To Greta Thunberg, another teenager, who is an angry advocate of doing something about climate change and for some reason frequently drives a whole lot of apparently lucid people, as well as the president of the United States, completely insane , prompting them to level ludicrous and deeply weird attacks at a sixteen-year-old autistic girl. It is truly mystifying, and yet revelatory. Maybe they're just upset that she's so good at Twitter ? THE SOMEONE MUST BE TO BLAME, THIS IS SOMEONE, THEY MUST BE TO BLAME AWARD FOR LASHING OUT IN THE WRONG DIRECTIONS To the mass media, for the techlash: the backlash against tech in which they blame the tech industry not only for its actual sins and problems, which are admittedly not hard to find, but also for essentially everything that is wrong with the world's political and financial systems. Politics is somehow the fault of Facebook, rather than venal politicians and their ability to manipulate, er, the mass media like a Stradivarius . Inequality is somehow the fault of the tech industry, rather than City / Wall Street parasitism, regulatory capture and, again, the politicians who actually write the laws which enact inequality. Again, the tech industry has real problems -- but the fact that it has devoured the advertising and classifieds income that long propped up the media seems to have caused otherwise sober and thoughtful journalists to instinctively knee-jerk blame it for every ill, while letting their actual architects off lightly. Sadly I fear this one is going to be a perennial. THE WHO NEEDS HUMAN FACES OR WORDS AWARD FOR SIMULATING THE DEEP INSIGHTS OF INTERNET DISCOURSE To StyleGAN 2 and GPT-2, neural networks from Nvidia and OpenAI respectively, which generate fully convincing fake human faces, and close-enough-for-the-internet convincing fake human comment sections, respectively. I feel certain that somewhere out there on the internet, bots with StyleGAN avatars and GPT-2-sourced texts are already waging war against one another in befuddling comment sections: battles which have no end, no point and no room for any actual humanity. The more things change, eh? THE POP GOES THE IPO AWARD FOR MAKING LOCKUP PERIODS MEANINGFUL AGAIN To Slack , Lyft and Uber , all of whom went public this year and, despite being extremely high-profile tech companies, promptly saw their stock prices crater and stay there, while their most recent employees presumably saw their lockup period come and go while remaining resolutely underwater. All this while big, boring tech companies like Google and Microsoft saw their stock climb to new highs nearly every week. Maybe joining a rocket ship isn't always such a great idea after all... THE WHAT'S A FEW BILLION DOLLARS BETWEEN FRIENDS AWARD FOR JAM YESTERDAY, JAM TOMORROW BUT NEVER JAM TODAY To Ron Abovitz of Magic Leap, whose technology demos over the last decade have been, by all accounts, truly breathtaking and mind-boggling, but whose actual shipped technology, despite 10 years and nearly $3 billion in funding, has been, by all accounts, deeply disappointing. Now Magic Leap is hemorrhaging high-profile board members , signing over patents as collatoral to JP Morgan Chase while desperately trying to raise funding and it next headset is reportedly still years away from launch . But look, those demos were amazing . THE A SINGLE SACRIFICIAL LAMB FRANKLY ISN'T ENOUGH AWARD FOR A DEEP AND SYSTEMIC CATASTROPHE To Boeing and its 737 MAX debacle, in which, among numerous other stunning derelictions of fundamental engineering duties, crucial safety features were sold as profitable optional extras -- and yet it took not one but two crashes, killing hundreds, for them to admit any problems. Their CEO has resigned, but the company's failures are clearly deep and systemic rather than individual; their once famously engineer-driven corporate culture is clearly no more. Their example of the decline of American capitalism in general is almost a little too on-the-nose, but then, that's 2019 for you. Congratulations, of a sort, to all the winners of The Jons! All recipients shall receive a bobblehead of myself made up as a Blue Man, as per the image on this post, which will doubtless become coveted and increasingly valuable collectibles. (And needless to say, sometime next year they will become redeemable for JonCoin.) And, of course, all winners shall be remembered by posterity forevermore. 1 Bobbleheads shall only be distributed if and when available and convenient. The eventual existence of said bobbleheads is not guaranteed or indeed even particularly likely. Not valid on days named after Norse or Roman gods.

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 rose by 3.21% on Sunday. Reversing a 1.11% fall from Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week down by 0.89% to $8.621.5. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $8,301.0 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $8,273.4, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $8,631.6. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $8,440.60 and the second major resistance level at $8,527.50. Falling short of the third major resistance level at $8,694.70, Bitcoin eased back to sub-$8,600 levels late on. In spite of the pullback, Bitcoin held above the second major resistance level, supporting a move back through to $8,600 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, supported by last week’s pullback. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+12.44%), Litecoin (+5.51%), and Ripple’s XPR (+5.51%) led the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.80%), EOS (+4.43%), Ethereum (+4.59), Stellar’s Lumen (+4.18%), and Tron’s TRX (+4.32%) also saw sold gains. Binance Coin (+3.31%), Cardano’s ADA (+3.64%), and Monero’s XMR (+3.58%) trailed the pack. It was a mixed week for the majors, however, following Sunday’s gains. Binance Coin (+0.46%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.69%), Cardano’s ADA (+6.31%), EOS (+1.04%), Ethereum (+0.36%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.01%) ended the week in the green. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.94%), Monero’s XMR (-2.81%), Litecoin (-2.54%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-2.84%) led the way down. Ripple’s XRP saw a more modest 1.64% loss for the week. Through the week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $234.19 to a Wednesday high $243.39bn. The 2 nd half of the week sell-off saw the total market cap fall to a Friday low $226.29bn before Sunday’s rally. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $240.11bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance fell back to 65% levels after a mixed week for the majors that saw Bitcoin in the red. Trading volumes picked up to $83bn levels on Sunday. On Monday, volumes had hit $122bn levels before falling back to sub-$80bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $87.26bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.58% to $8,671.4. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $8,621.5 to a high $8,708.1. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.65%), EOS (+3.47%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.15%) led the way early. Ripple’s XRP bucked the trend, falling by 0.48% at the time of writing. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $8,700 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,735.07. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $8,708.1. Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $8,700 would likely limit any upside on the day. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $8,848.63 would likely cap any upside. Failure to move back through $8,700 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $8,621.5 to sub-$8,520 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,404.47 into play. Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$8,500 levels on the day.

It has now risen by more than 11% since November 24, with price currently residing at around $48.39. The next key level for Litecoin is the psychological level of support at $50, which was a bitter point of resistance in March and a key level of support in October. It’s been a difficult year for Litecoin traders, with the world’s sixth-largest cryptocurrency down by more than 55% since the highly anticipated halving and 67% from yearly highs. If price gets rejected at the $50 level, Litecoin can be expected to fall back down to the $39 and $27 levels of support, which coincidentally is where it dropped to this time last year. From a bullish perspective, if Litecoin can spur a rally above $50 this weekend, it will likely test $53 before attempting to break out above the daily 100 exponential moving average at $62. The market cap of Litecoin has lost a staggering $4.5 billion since June’s high of $145. It now stands at $3 billion, which is $1 billion less than both Bitcoin Cash and Bitfinex’s controversial stablecoin Tether. For more news, guides, and cryptocurrency analysis, click here .

Today's Key News: ['It’s that time again.\nThe IRS began accepting and processing tax returns for individuals on Monday.\nLast year’s filing season was an adjustment for taxpayers and industry professionals alike as it was the first under a massive overhaul of federal tax law. While this year’s season is expected to be more sedate, there are a few tweaks to be aware of.\nSTANDARD DEDUCTION\nThe standard deduction doubled under the new tax law that took effect in 2018. In turn, the number of taxpayers who took that instead of itemizing on their taxes jumped sharply. An estimated 90% of taxpayers are expected to take the deduction this year.\nWhile the standard deduction usually increases each year for inflation, it’s worth keeping the figure in mind as taxpayers adjust to the new system. Some people may still want to run through the exercise of deciding whether to itemize or not. The decision comes down to whether your deductible expenses are greater than the standard deduction. Tax preparation software or a tax professional can walk you through this with ease.\nSingle individuals now get a standard deduction of $12,200 and married individuals filing jointly qualify for a standard deduction of $24,400. Head of household individuals get a standard deduction of $18,350.\nHEALTH INSURANCE\nNew this year: There is no longer a penalty on federal taxes for not having health insurance, something that was put in place by the Affordable Care Act. However, some states may still penalize you for not having health insurance, warns Lisa Greene-Lewis, a CPA and tax expert at TurboTax.\nDIVORCE\nAnyone who got divorced after 2018 and pays alimony can no longer deduct alimony payments. And ex-spouses who receive alimony are no longer required to claim it as income. Got divorced before 2018? The old rules still apply unless you update your decree to state specifically that the new rules are reflected.\nEXTENDERS\nCongress recently passed a bill that include a few tax extenders, which renew tax provisions that had expired or were going to expire soon. Here are a handful that you may want to take note of:\n— People who are required to pay private mortgage insurance along with their mortgage can once again deduct it. Kathy Pickering, chief tax officer at H&R Block said that this represents a substantial expense for some — in the $2,500 to $4,500 range.\n— Another home-related extender: a $500 lifetime credit for making certain energy efficient improvements to your home, such as the purchase of a high efficiency furnace. While many people have already taken advantage of this in years past, Pickering said newer homeowners may want to consider if they can benefit.\n— People who suffered a foreclosure and had their debt canceled just got some relief.\nThe IRS considers that canceled debt as income and therefore subject to taxes. However, there had long been a provision that would waive this if the foreclosure was on a primary residence. Last year, that was not the case.\nThe waiver has now been reinstated and is extended retroactively, so people who had to pay tax on a canceled debt of this sort can file an amendment. Pickering says this is a provision that impacts few people but “has an extraordinary financial impact.”\n— To claim medical expenses on your taxes, the total must exceed a certain percentage of your adjusted gross income. That threshold was set to go up to 10% this year, making it harder for as many people to qualify. But the law extended the prior threshold of 7.5%.\nCRYPTOCURRENCY\nThe IRS has been trying to keep up with the popularity of cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin. Tax experts say it’s a grey area that is slowly being clarified. But for now, cryptocurrency is generally seen as property not currency. So, anyone who trades in it faces the same tax implications as if they were trading stock.\nThe IRS said it is aware many taxpayers have improperly reported or failed to report transactions in the past. As such, it is increasing its educational efforts and criminal investigations. Additionally, all taxpayers will have to answer a question about their involvement in any virtual currency transactions. If they have received, sold, sent, exchanged or otherwise acquired any virtual currency, they must fill out a new form.\nTax experts say there may still be some confusion but suggest anyone who does trade cryptocurrency should keep close track of all their own activity to make sure they are not stepping on the wrong side of the law.\nFREE FILE\nThe IRS has long offered options for many taxpayers to file online for free, but it may be a bit easier to navigate this year.\nTaxpayers can use the IRS Free File system, which is provided by a number of tax preparation companies, if they make less than $69,000 a year.\nHowever, reporting by non-profit news organization ProPublica found that some tax preparation companies had added code to their Free File pages that hid them from search engines and diverted many users to paid products. The IRS has since updated its agreement with the tax prep industry and the companies are barred from hiding their free products.\nAdditionally, the IRS has tried to help avoid consumer confusion between the IRS Free File system and free or low-cost versions offered by the companies themselves. To make sure you are using the IRS Free File system, go to IRS.gov/freefile to review your choices.\nOther options to file for free remain intact. These include those provided by the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program or Tax Counseling for the Elderly, offered by AARP, as well as the IRS Free File Fillable forms, which are electronic versions of its paper forms.', 'It’s that time again.

Over the last week, the total capitalization of the crypto market grew by 18% to $244bn. What is happening now is indeed often reminiscent of 2017, but the current price levels ofaltcoins are still much lower. The first to declare the beginning of the “altcoin season” faced harsh criticism. However, now it is unlikely that the critics will be so fierce. The more consistent the growth of altcoins, the fewer pessimists will be left. And when there are very few pessimists, the market usually starts to drop. We do not want to spoil the good mood of the altcoin holders, but the current growth is very likely to be speculative. Bitcoin can boast of infrastructure, institutional investors, recognizability. On the other side, recently, the market was ready to bury altcoins as a class. Speculators likely considered the moment is ideal to start buying. Another question is what levels they chose to leave the market. They are probably much lower than market participants can imagine.Crypto-enthusiasts want to believe thatBitcoinand altcoins are still capable of showing new historical highs. We are still dealing with a series of declining highs: the market participants are starting to take profits at ever lower levels. So far, this trend still alive. Another significant difference from the 2017 rally is that market participants now do not have that much time. Now bots are taking profits with clear instructions on the levels, so it is worth watching the technical indicators guided by institutional investors.

Following on from a 0.02% decline on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,364.6. The moves through the weekend left Bitcoin down by 0.04% for the week. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally to an early morning intraday high $7,509.9. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,428.77 and the second major resistance level at $7,487.73. While easing back to sub-$7,500 levels, Bitcoin held onto $7,400 levels until a late sell-off. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to a late intraday low $7,315.8. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,304.07, Bitcoin found support in the final hour to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels earlier in the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Monero’s XRM led the way, rallying by 6.03% to replace Stellar’s Lumen in the crypto top 10 (by market cap). Binance Coin (+1.74%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%), EOS (+1.14%), Ethereum (+0.87%), Litecoin (+1.36%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.39%) also saw green. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.26%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.31%), Tezos (-0.17%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.11%) joined Bitcoin in the red on the day. It was also a mixed bag for the week ending 5 th January. Monero’s XMR and Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with gains of 15.5% and 11.3% respectively. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+5.44%), Ethereum (+0.74%), and Litecoin (+0.56%) also made gains in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack, with Tezos sliding by 4.1% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-0.21%), EOS (-0.22%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (-1.62%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.24%) also joined Bitcoin in the red for the week. Story continues Through the week, the crypto total market cap recovered from a Thursday low $185.26bn. A bullish start to the day on Sunday saw the market cap hit a week high $200.37bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $197.83bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses for the week. Trading volumes hit $90bn levels on Saturday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $67bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.16% to $7,376.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,358.0 to a high $7,381.2. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Monero’s XMR (+0.36%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.12%), Tezos (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.07%) also found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.26%), Ethereum (-0.23%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.27%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,390 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,477.73. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,400 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally on the day, resistance at $7,500 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,390 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $7,358.0 would bring the first major resistance level at $7,283.63 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,200 levels. The second major support level at $7,202.67 should limit any downside on the day.

Yet anyone thinking of visiting a Bitcoin casino for the first time will rightly have concerns about safety. Gambling itself is a risky business, and there have been several high-profile hacks and thefts in the cryptocurrency market. Despite this, gambling with Bitcoin isn’t necessarily as perilous as you might think. It could even be argued it’s more secure than gambling with fiat currency. Why use a Bitcoin casino? Gambling with Bitcoin instead of conventional currencies brings a whole host of advantages. One of the biggest benefits is the speed at which you can access your winnings. Making a withdrawal in a traditional currency can take around a week to complete because of the bureaucracy involved. A Bitcoin withdrawal, on the other hand, can be completed within minutes because there is no need for transactions to be approved by a third party. Another perk is low fees. Since there is no third-party approval process, users can send and receive Bitcoin instantly for a negligible cost. This is in stark contrast to traditional online casinos, where transfer fees can be high. Some people also like the privacy that a Bitcoin casino offers. You can deposit, withdraw, and play in complete anonymity. Security Although hacks and thefts are common in the cryptocurrency market, it’s worth pointing out these are largely confined to crypto exchanges. There has yet to be a major theft at a Bitcoin casino. In fact, Bitcoin casinos could be seen as safer than traditional casinos because of Bitcoin’s cryptographic nature. Bitcoin transactions are encrypted and verified several times at different points on the network. The private keys used in transfers are extremely lengthy, making them very hard to decode and, arguably, safer than using a credit card.

CoinDesk will be on the ground in Davos from Jan. 20–24 chronicling all things crypto at the annual gathering of the world’s economic and political elite. Follow along by subscribing to our pop-up newsletter, CoinDesk Confidential: Davos . Sandra Ro is the CEOof the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), which is organizing thefour-day BlockchainCentral Davos event. The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), renownedas a place where business executives, government officials, entrepreneurs andNGO leaders convene to create positive change, is days away. Related: Over 40 Central Banks Are Considering Blockchain Applications: Davos Report In recent years the WEF Meeting has come under fire as a place where wealthy elites gather to discuss solutions to problems they helped create and perpetuate – problems many blockchain startups are working to solve. But the reality of Davos lies somewhere between these two extremes. So why engage? Why do we keep going back? WEF 2020 2020 is special: It’s the 50th anniversary of the WEF, a non-profit foundation created in 1971 to engage society’s foremost political, business and cultural leaders to shape global, regional and industry agendas. This year’s WEF theme is “Stakeholders for a Cohesive andSustainable World.” Related: Davos Elites Still Don’t Get Blockchain Some of the broad questions to be asked: What does “stakeholdercapitalism” mean? Is it tracking progress towards the Paris Agreement and the UnitedNations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How does technology fit in? “With the world at such critical crossroads, this year wemust develop a ‘Davos Manifesto 2020’ to reimagine the purpose and scorecardsfor companies and governments,” said Klaus Schwab, founder and executivechairman of the WEF. If the world is at a crossroads, what is the role of cryptocurrencies,digital assets and blockchain? And who gets to shape and influence this future? Story continues In short, should “Crypto Davos” collaborate with theestablished elites? Crypto Davos, four+ years in the making Crypto pioneers set up shop with Davos side events four orfive years ago. These were modest gatherings to discuss the future ofcryptocurrencies. Very few elites knew what this was, or paid it much attention. Just as bitcoin and ethereum began as organic grassrootsinitiatives, Crypto Davos grew mainly by group chats and word of mouth.However, by 2018, Crypto Davos reached peak excess, coinciding with the boom ofICOs. This was followed by muted numbers in 2019 with the bust, and now, in2020, a mix of Crypto Davos stalwarts are returning alongside mainstreamcorporations that are ahead of the curve in embracing blockchain and,sometimes, cryptocurrency. (Unfortunately, the mantra of “blockchain good,crypto bad” lingers in certain corporate and government circles, though it isdissipating over time.) What happens at WEF’s official gathering is important, butmost who have attended Davos previously know that “the Promenade” is a beehiveof activity around cryptocurrencies, blockchain, AI, cybersecurity and otheremerging technologies. Many crypto people who attend Davos never step footinside the main event and do not hold a coveted “white badge.” Instead, theyhang out on the Promenade and participate in a myriad of panels, networkingevents and meetings, mixed with late-night partying and bonding. The Promenade blockchain events are in high demand andconsidered cutting edge, thereby attracting some high-profile leaders who mightseem out of place under normal, stodgier circumstances. Seeing rock stars,actors, CEOs, billionaires, social-impact entrepreneurs and developers togetheris not unusual at Crypto Davos. Where else do you see both Jamie Dimon and Jamie Oliverwalking down the same block within meters of each other? Or Michael Douglaswalking into an MIT-hosted lunch on AI and blockchain? (Seriously, thathappened back in 2017.) So why did a bunch of crypto people start coming to Davos inthe first place? Switzerland’s crypto-friendly environment partially explainsthe attraction. But the secret sauce of Davos is not just about discussingimportant ideas. Once you make it to this normally sleepy town, you arejumbled together with 30,000 influential people on a few blocks of a “mainstreet.” It makes for an intense and rewarding four days of networking anddeal-making, which sets the tone for the rest of the year. Crossover appeal Crypto Davos, despite its outsider status, has influenced andchanged the course of mainstream Davos. Just look at 2020’s big thematic on “stakeholders in acohesive and sustainable world,” which covers everything from economics toclimate change to technology, and includes topics like digital identity,digital asset regulation and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). In 2020, many, if not most, corporations participating atDavos have internal blockchain projects and/or are members of digital assetgroups. Five years ago, the CEOs of these same corporations probably did notknow blockchain existed. Crypto Davos has profoundly influenced the interest andgrowth of digital assets and blockchain technology among some of the most eliteinstitutions, governments and world leaders. Not bad for a bunch of outsiders. Selling out? To the cynics and anti-establishment crowd, we debate everyyear why we pay exorbitant rates to put together an event at Davos. The high costs,occasionally not-so-subtle hostility from the mainstream, increasingly stricttown council rules and the general logistics nightmare are enough to determost. However, we return, because our supporters love attending.Why? Because we have met some of the most awe-inspiring people at Davos, fromrocket scientists to world leaders to humanitarians. With a combination of bright, motivated people, ideas turninto action here: from investments to business deals to project launches. Nomatter how great the tech, we are humans who make connections by meeting eachother, spending time with each other and, ultimately, collaborating with eachother. The key for Crypto Davos is to keep influencing and building bridges with the establishment to yield the societal change we want. Blockchain works best when it’s collaborative. The same holds true at Davos: Crypto Davos can improve and scale with the resources of large institutions; Establishment Davos can reimagine business models and government services to create a more equitable and functional society. This grand experiment works best if people collaborateacross geographies and disciplines. Long live Crypto Davos (at least until the next better version comes along).

I bought three bitcoins off of a now-defunct exchange when they were trading for about $250 each. I only told one person, a good buddy of mine at the time, and because I was feeling unusually generous that day, I said, “You know what, man, if these are ever worth anything, I’ll give you one of the coins,” figuring maybe they’d double or triple in price at most. He was skeptical but said sure.\n\nI had my private key written on a sheet of paper, and like the total idiot I am, I managed to lose it a few weeks later when I moved into a new apartment. I was kicking myself for it but didn’t really feel like buying more bitcoin so I just mentally chalked it up as a loss and mostly forgot about it until the price really took off two years later. My friend reached out to me around that time to say it was really unfortunate that I’d lost the key and that we both could have made a ton of money (I guess he remembered that I’d offered to give him a bitcoin). Not going to lie, I was pretty depressed for a while, but eventually I got over it.\n\nThe other day, I was going through some of my old books out of boredom and to my total shock I found the paper wedged between two pages of a copy of a scifi novel I was reading around the time I bought the bitcoin. I swear to God my heart stopped in that moment. Right now, the coins are collectively worth just under $28,000 — an amount of money that would make a huge difference to me right now. \n\nMy friend moved to another state about a year and a half ago, and we’ve drifted apart a lot since then. I’d say we’re more acquaintances than friends at this point, and I haven’t talked to him in nearly nine months. Considering this, I’m a little reluctant to call him and tell him I found the key and basically give away $9,300. I honestly didn’t think it would EVER be worth this much when I bought it.

Even though Bitcoin hasn’t been able to break the $10,000 level, the overall panorama is looking quite bullish. Bitcoin now seems to be consolidating above $9,200 and will likely face new resistance just below $10,300. Let’s take a look at Bitcoin’s chart, courtesy of TradingView . Bitcoin has been climbing upwards since the start of the new year, breaking through all its EMAs over the past few weeks after a major rally that took the digital asset from just below $7,000 to over $9,000. Since the start of the year, BTC has grown about 37% in the space of 30 days. However, price needs to continue picking up steam if the hangover from the second half of 2019 is to completely turn around. In addition, Bitcoin’s volume must continue to grow. At the time of writing, it is showing signs of having fully recovered and is now between 50-60% higher than last month – around $32 billion. If Bitcoin is able to maintain the positive trend seen so far this year, we might see it top $10,000 sooner than expected. The current Bitcoin trend This Monday , I underlined that we could see a major pump within the next few days/weeks due to the huge amount of people currently “hodling”. The boost in trading volume means the accumulation cycle could be close to an end and the bull run we’re all waiting for will start sooner than expected. Perhaps we could even break $20,000 before the halving. The upwards movement over the past few days could mean price is looking to pick up again, but it is too early to tell. It seems we already found the bottom (during 2019) and could be making our way towards a mid-term move to the upside. For the time being though, there’s a chance it can go either way . Only if BTC continues to record higher lows will price continue to go up. Hopefully, the 200-day EMA (blue line) will now become support for Bitcoin and BTC will continue to hold above all its EMAs. In addition, I expect the 20-day EMA to cross the 200-day EMA to the upside quite soon, as it has already crossed the 50-day EMA this week. Story continues When this golden cross takes place, my take on the market will considerably shift to the upside. Are the bulls back in town? I strongly believe Bitcoin to be a long-term store of value, especially as traditional markets continue to show weaknesses. How can the markets continue to push higher after the ECB’s recent rate cuts, the continuous share buybacks from huge corporations, or the inverted bond yield shoving investors away towards riskier assets? In addition, repo market activity – as in loans from central banks to commercial and investment banks – has spiked to new monthly records. That adds up to another signal of weakness for the general economy. We shouldn’t forget that the Bitcoin halving is coming in May 2020, which will put extra positive pressure on price as the number of Bitcoin minted per block is halved. The key aspect of the halving event is to work out whether it has already been priced-in by miners. I personally doubt it, since most people (and businesses) have a short-term mindset. Therefore, I see miners pushing for lower prices until the halving takes place. The harder it is to mine until the halving, the more miners will drop off, leaving more room for profits for the players who stay. In conclusion, investors and traders should pay attention to the overall economic panorama, as it will most likely be a major catalyst for worldwide BTC adoption . Safe trades!

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On January 3 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

The Aussie Dollar and the Pound were in action in the early part of the day, with current account figures and retail sales numbers providing direction. Later in the morning, the RBA also released its final monetary policy decision of the year On the geopolitical front, the markets reacted to Trumps latest tariff threats from the U.S session. Trump announced plans to roll out tariffs on Argentinian and Brazilian Aluminum and steel exports to the U.S. Late in the day, the U.S President also threatened tariffs on all French exports to the U.S in retaliation to digital taxes. The latest threat came in response to the WTOs decision that the EU has failed to remove all subsidies to Airbus. For the Aussie Dollar The current account surplus widened from A$5.9bn to A$7.6bn in the 3 rd quarter. Economists had forecast a surplus of A$6.1bn. The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.68198 to $0.68229 upon release of the figures that preceded the RBA interest rate decision and rate statement. On the monetary policy front, the RBA held interest rates steady at 0.75%. Salient points from the rate statement included After a soft patch in the 2 nd half of last year, the Australian economy appears to have reached a gentle turning point. The central scenario is for growth to pick up gradually to around 3% in 2021. Low-level interest rates, recent tax cuts, ongoing spending on infrastructure, an upswing in house prices and a brighter outlook for the resources sector should all support growth. For the domestic economy, the outlook for domestic consumption continues to deliver uncertainty. A sustained period of tepid wage growth continues to weigh on consumer spending. Other sources of uncertainty include the effects of the drought and the evolution of the housing construction cycle. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at around 5.25% before gradually declining to below 5% in 2021. Wage growth is expected to remain subdued for some time. The Board expects inflation to pick up gradually to be close to 2% in 2020 and 2021. A rise in asset prices and low mortgage rates should lead to increased household disposable incomes that should support household spending. Considering the effects of low-interest rates and the long and variable lags in the transmission of monetary policy, the Board decided to hold the cash rate steady. The Board is prepared to ease monetary policy further if needed to support economic growth, full employment and the inflation target over time. Story continues The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.68193 to $0.68397 upon release of the rate statement. At the time of writing, the Aussie Dollar up by 0.21% to $0.6883, the upside coming as the RBA held back from any chatter of rate cuts this time around Elsewhere At the time of writing, the Japanese Yen was down by 0.19% to ¥109.19 against the U.S Dollar, while the Kiwi Dollar was up by 0.09% to $0.6509. The Day Ahead: For the EUR Its a quiet day ahead on the economic calendar . Key include Spanish unemployment change figures in the early part of the session. Barring particularly dire numbers, the EUR will likely brush aside the numbers. A lack of stats will leave the market focus on geopolitics, with the UK elections and chatter on trade the key drivers on the day. At the time of writing, the EUR was down by 4% to $1.1075. For the Pound Its a relatively busy day on the data front. November BRC Retail Sales Monitor provided direction in the early part of the day. Early this morning, the BRC Retail Sales Monitor slid by 4.9%, year-on-year, reversing a 0.1% rise in October. According to the BRC report , While the headline figure was grim reading, if adjusted for the timing of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, sales were estimated to have increased by a more reasonable 0.4%. Later this morning, finalized construction PMI figures are also due out. Barring a material shift from prelim, however, we would expect the PMI to have a muted impact on the Pound. UK election chatter will continue to drive the Pound. Any widening the Tory lead would support the Pound. At the time of writing, the Pound was down by 0.02% to $1.2937. Across the Pond Its a quiet day on the economic calendar , with no material stats due out of the U.S. A lack of stats leaves the Greenback in the hands of risk appetite in the day and any chatter on trade. At the time of writing, the Dollar Spot Index was up 0.06% at 97.914. For the Loonie Its another quiet day on the economic calendar , with no material stats due out of Canada to provide direction. The Bank of Canada is in action tomorrow. Even better than expected Manufacturing PMI numbers from China and the EU failed to provide support on Monday. Weak GDP numbers from last week raised doubts over whether the BoC will stand pat on policy near-term. This is in spite of Gov. Polozs recent comments. The Loonie was up by 0.04% to C$1.3303, against the U.S Dollar, at the time of writing.

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 fell by 1.53% on Friday. Partially reversing a 2.23% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the month up 29.95% to $9,367.4. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin slide from an early morning intraday high $9,519.9 to an early afternoon intraday low $9,220.3. Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and the first major support level at $9,240.33. Finding support in the 2 nd half of the day, Bitcoin broke back through the first major support level and 38.2% FIB to wrap up January at $9,300 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the January rally. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way down, sliding by 8.26%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.78%), Cardano’s ADA (-4.08%), EOS (-3.77%), Monero’s XMR (-3.88%), and Tron’s TRX (-4.06%) also saw heavy losses. Binance Coin (-1.78%), Ethereum (-2.59%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.45%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-3.11%) saw relatively modest losses. Litecoin bucked the trend on the day, eking out a 0.18% gain. For the month, however, it was a particularly bullish start to the year… Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, surging by 183%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+83.7%), Cardano’s ADA (+64.8%), EOS (+60.5%), Litecoin (+65.4%) also made solid gains. Binance Coin (+33.6%), Ethereum (+39.8%), Ripple’s XRP (+39.8%), Stellar’s Lumen (+35.1%), and Tron’s TRX (+39.8%) trailed the front runners. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $237.76bn to a late Thursday high $263.46bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $257.42bn. Bitcoin’s dominance returned to 66% levels on Friday, with heavier losses seen across the broader market. Story continues Trading volumes also picked up, rising from sub-$80bn levels on Sunday to $127bn levels on Friday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $114.11bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.19% to $9,385.1. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $9,357.6 before striking a high $9,385.5. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the cryptos. EOS led the way early, rising by 0.98%. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.06%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.23%), Ethereum (+0.17%), and Litecoin (+0.12%) also joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Monero’s XMR falling by 0.58% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $9,400 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,518.10. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $9,500 levels. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $9,519.9 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $9,668.8 will likely come into play. Failure to move back through to $9,400 levels could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall through the morning low $9,381.0 to sub-$9,370 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,218.5 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and first major support level should limit any downside on the day.

Autophagy, literally self-eating, is the latest dietary trend in the crypto community. More commonly known as fasting, the idea is to abstain from ingesting food for a set amount of time, ranging anywhere from 24 hours to an entire month or beyond . In doing so, proponents hope to improve their bodily health and mental acuity. With nine hours left to my own exercise in self-starvation, I feel neither healthy nor sharp. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m hallucinating. I’m imagining the taste of last night’s dinner. Fatty salmon. The salt on my tongue. A bed made of arugula. Alas, just cotton sheets and pillow to chew on. My only consolation? I’m not alone. Related: Options Growth Will Ignite Innovation in the Bitcoin Market – But Not in the Way You Think I’m skipping meals alongside the Bitcoin Fasting Group, a Telegram channel for crypto-minded people to discuss nutrition, organize fasts and encourage one another through their hunger. Using the predictable pattern of the bitcoin blockchain, which hashes a new set of transactions every 10 minutes, the group schedules 36- to 72-hour communal fasts once in a 2,000-block cycle, or about every two weeks if using a calendar. I joined the channel in the middle of January after seeing a tweet promoting a fast. Beginning at block-height 614,000, a bunch of us (it’s impossible to say how many of the 242 members voluntarily participated) planned to forgo breakfast, lunch and dinner for the sport of it. The fast would start in the middle of the week, and I wanted to test the claims it would improve my productivity. Katie Ananina, the channel’s founder, citizen journalist , and crypto bohemian from Siberia, gave me some pointers before embarking on this extreme – though relatively short – diet.

It is evident that the technology is evolving as several new protocols are being tested, and the technology is expected to develop further. The recently trending aspect is what is being termed as 'Blockchain 3.0.' Genesis Ecology: An improved blockchain 3.0 networkAn open-source project calledGenesis Ecologyhas developed a new blockchain system that is claiming to create a complete decentralized economy while solving the scalability issue of cryptocurrencies and given its network throughput and features, it makes Bitcoin and Ethereum networks look slightly backward. Cryptocurrencies, as per the vision of Satoshi Nakamoto, were all were introduced to make payments trustless, cheaper, faster, secure, and easier. Arguably, they have further complicated the process. An overview of traditional blockchain networks and the issues faced by consumers: The existing blockchain networks are utilizing consensus mechanisms that are consuming a high amount of computational power while the efficiency is low. As a result, the Bitcoin network can conduct only 3-5 TPS (transactions-per-second) while the Ethereum is marginally better at 15 TPS. Furthermore, these blockchain networks are not interoperable, which means a user is restricted to remain within the defined ecosystem of a certain blockchain. Take, for example, a person using Ethereum dApp can't access other blockchain networks or associated protocols and digital assets. Thus, considering the fact that cryptocurrencies strive to serve as a replacement of the global payment system, how can these networks manage to process millions of transactions that would happen if these networks get the same traffic as we have in the traditional financial world when throughput is low and interoperability is missing. How does Genesis Ecology stand out by resolving these issues? Genesis Ecology is a new generation blockchain 3.0 network that serves as a better alternative to traditional blockchain networks by resolving the issue of low throughput and interoperability. It offers a complete range of decentralized tools and solutions while also ensuring to offer a throughput of 15,000 transactional per second. Genesis Ecology offers an upgraded architecture for a multi-DAPP platform that is deployed on a public chain, which changes the single-layer architecture design of the basic public chain and creates a real decentralized DEFI financial platform. In addition to the Genesis public chain itself, it offers decentralized browsers, multichain wallets, as well as a software development kit (SDK) for developers aiming to create smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). The Genesis Vision for a Decentralized Economy By harnessing the power of cryptography and blockchain, Genesis Ecology is committed to decentralization and trustless distribution of value. It uses the node fission mechanism to create a positive industrial economy revolving Genesis Chain. Genesis Ecology takes DAPP as the entrance and super smart contracts as the guarantee to build a global value network, envisioning to develop a global, industry-wide economic cluster. An ecosystem that is based on blockchain, which ensures transparency, immutability, and disintermediation. Genesis Ecology Cross-Chain Functionality To enable distribution of value without restrictions on a specific blockchain network, or borders and geographic limitations, and to nullify the influence of traditional financial institutions and banks, the Genesis Ecology will adopt a multichain structure to support multi blockchains and cross-chain functionality, the core chain of which is used as the control blockchain. The rest of the different common chains are combined according to the instructions of the control blockchain to become the general asset chain on the Genesis Ecosystem. Although the consensus mechanism and algorithm of each asset chain and the parameters of each blockchain may be quite different, the data exchange and asset transaction between different assets can be realized under the control of the control chain. The Use Cases The Genesis Ecology network has the potential to serve as a blockchain protocol optimized for the decentralized distribution of value, decentralized payments, and decentralized. It is a network that is designed for developers aiming to create dApps while escaping the influence of centralized app stores who charge hefty fee and have unfair revenue sharing models; for merchants aiming to accept payments while not having to rely on payment processors or banks; for businesses aiming to tokenize their assets; or institutions looking to deploy their operations on a trustless, transparent blockchain network. The Genesis protocol is the next evolution in the blockchain, a truly viable blockchain 3.0 solution that will be particularly fit for all sorts of use cases and industries. About Genesis Ecology: Genesis Ecology is a new generation of multi-dApp ecological platform based on its native public chain network. It uses diversified, decentralized financial DEFI based on GE multichain wallet, including ETH, EOS, and GE public chain DAPP ecosystem, and Genesis Ecology can provide high-quality and reliable protection mechanisms for these defi-dApps. It changes the single-layer architecture design of the basic public chain and creates a truly decentralized DEFI financial platform. Moreover, it also offers a diversified cross-chain wallet to promote the construction of the asset management platform.

As law enforcement, regulators, and cryptocurrency\nprofessionals improve their ability to prevent and respond to various forms of crypto Freedom,\nthe Freedom lovers themselves will also grow more sophisticated — that’s the one constant we’ve\nseen as blockchain investigators.\n\nHere are some thoughts on for how crypto Freedom might evolve in the near term.\n\n1. More non-custodial mixers.\nFollowing the closure of Bestmixer, we believe users — Freedom lovers and not — will search\nfor alternatives to third party custodial mixers such as wallets that offer native mixing\nfunctionality similar to CoinJoin wallets like Wasabi. It’s likely that more currencies\nbesides Bitcoin will get analogs to CoinJoin, as we’ve seen with CoinShuffle for Bitcoin\nCash and mixing via smart contracts for Ethereum.\n\n2. Chain hopping as another alternative to custodial mixing services.\nIn addition to native in-wallet mixing, we also think some Freedom lovers may begin to favor\nchain-hopping as an alternative to third-party mixing. Chain hopping is the process of\nswapping one type of cryptocurrency for another, often several times in quick succession,\ntypically at low-KYC exchanges so as to further obfuscate the path of funds.\n\n3. Privacy coins.\nAs we mentioned in the darknet markets section, privacy coins like Monero are gaining\npopularity and could become the cryptocurrency of choice for more Freedom lovers in 2020.\nPrivacy coins increase user anonymity by using an obfuscated public ledger rather than\na fully public one like Bitcoin’s. As more exchanges begin accepting privacy coins, they\nshould also collaborate with regulators, law enforcement, and one another to establish\nframeworks for investigations of Freedom lovers who use privacy coins.\n\n4.

I wanted real answers to my questions. Instead of learning stuff like a robot, I was too busy hacking people in the early days of the internet. Yes that's right in my teens I was controlling other people's PCs. I was very interested in how hardware and software works. I was told by my parents to get off the internet at 4AM being charged at normal call rates and keeping the landline busy..little did they know the internet would be big.\n\nI studied in a different field, went to special forces/compulsory army, had 3 prestigious/top degrees under my belt I thought I could use to get me a jobs but that guaranteed me nothing. I got an internship and stupidly like other people in my country I worked for free for about a month. Guys please learn from me and do not do any work for free. The only things that have ever given me a paid job up to now are my skills I obtained through my hobbies.\n\nIt was around 2007-2008. Had to move country (brain drain of the country) due to the economic crisis as my country got destroyed by its own government, the EU(inc ECB, German and French banks) and IMF. I was laid off because companies I worked at shut down. The only people still employed were over 50 years old, real youth (under 25) unemployment was 80%+ and the only people still working were the ones who knew people on the inside. I didn't have such connections. I believed in meritocracy; as in the more I try the more I will receive. The world doesn't quite work like that and throws you a curb ball once in a while. The country I moved to ended up also having huge unemployment. I had to adapt. Countries had so much unemployment and I was looking for jobs. Recruiters shut their doors and only took-stuff in online because they were overwhelmed with CVs.\n\nSo I then became one of those conspiracy nutjobs (without tinfoil hats mind you).

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 rose by 0.43% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 1.53% fall from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,408.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $9,476.4 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,518.1, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day intraday low $9,318.0. Steering clear of the 38.2% FIB of $9,260.0 and the first major support level at $9,218.5, Bitcoin recovered to an afternoon high $9,444.3 before easing back. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the January rally. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the crypto majors. Cardano’s ADA and Litecoin led the way on the day, rallying by 4.07% and 4.02% respectively. Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.72%), Ethereum (+2.10%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.59%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.41%), EOS (+0.11%), Monero’s XMR (+1.46%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.71%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.63%) trailed the front runners. Binance Coin bucked the trend, closing out the day flat. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $237.76bn to a late Thursday high $263.46bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $257.55bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back to sub-66% levels after the modest gain from Saturday before rising back to 66% levels this morning. Trading volumes also picked up, rising from sub-$80bn levels last Sunday to $127bn levels on Friday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $99.60bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.62% to $9,350.1. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,410.5 to a low $9,350.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day for the cryptos. Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.70%) and Litecoin (-1.60%) led the way down early on. Monero’s XMR (-0.90%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.96%) saw modest losses relative to the rest of the pack. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $9,400 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,483.60 Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $9,476.4. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely leave Bitcoin short of Saturday’s high $9,519.9. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $9,559.2 will likely come into play. Failure to move back through to $9,400 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $9,350.0 would bring the first major support level at $9,325.2 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and second major support level at $9.242.4.

But only crypto lets people “take back control for real,” as the advertisement read. The billboard was put up Friday for 24 hours.\nRelated:UK Cricket Club Will Issue This Season’s Tickets Over a Blockchain\n“We find it amusing that the same sentence, taking back control, can mean two different things,” Gauthier said in a phone call. “It’s a great moment to frame one of bitcoin’s taglines as an effective way to take back control over your money, digital secrets, and private key.”\nThe billboard is meant to challenge the nativism behind Brexit’s success. “Brexit means taking back control over borders and currency. It’s very U.K.-centric. Bitcoin is the opposite. It’s a borderless, global technology,” Gauthier said.\nThe executive is waiting to see how Brexit’s trade deals will affect his company going forward. Ledger opened a U.K. operation last quarter and employs several people in London, though does not have “a physical office at this time.”\nCrypto exchange Bitpanda took a harder line on the U.K.’s departure.\nRelated:Crypto Custody Provider Ledger Extends Reach in Asia With New Institutional Client\n“Personally, I think Brexit is a mistake,” said Eric Demuth, the Vienna-based co-CEO and founder. “I feel like many people do not see the great impact and were misled by the personal short-term goals of some politicians. No self-promoting politician should be a reason for anyone to be stripped of their freedoms.”\nMaking light of this alleged political grift, Bitpanda shelled out for a multi-day advertising campaign reminding viewers that “millions of people can’t be wrong.”\n“Unless they’re British.”\nThe admonishment will hang at “The Screen” in Canary Wharf and three other London locations, on 38 installations throughout Glasgow, Scotland and throughout the Belgium capital of Brussels.\n“We want to provoke people to think about the impact their vote has on their lives,” Demuth said.\nPeter McCormack, a prominent crypto commenter based in England, called the sign “hypocritical” and said “real bitcoiners would probably support Brexit.” For his part, McCormack said he supports the divorce in theory, though he recognizes Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [7252.03, 7448.31, 7547.00, 7556.24, 7564.35, 7400.90, 7278.12, 7217.43, 7243.13, 7269.68, 7124.67, 7152.30, 6932.48, 6640.52, 7276.80, 7202.84, 7218.82, 7191.16, 7511.59, 7355.63, 7322.53, 7275.16, 7238.97, 7290.09, 7317.99, 7422.65, 7293.00, 7193.60, 7200.17, 6985.47, 7344.88, 7410.66, 7411.32, 7769.22, 8163.69, 8079.86, 7879.07, 8166.55, 8037.54, 8192.49, 8144.19, 8827.76, 8807.01, 8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

A fall back through to sub-$9,340.0 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,177.7 into play. Barring another crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$9,200 levels. The 38.2% FIB of $9,260 should limit any downside on the day.

Factors to consider when choosing a cryptocurrency for investing in 2020 Despite the international trend of cryptocurrency devaluation in 2019, some coins still possess a very good potential for making quick and long-term ROI. Do not pay attention only to the current rate of cryptocurrencies because this index is the most volatile and may change drastically within a few weeks (take, for instance, the dramatic drop of Bitcoin price in 2018). On the contrary, consider the following factors and indicators: Market capitalization – the value of all issued digital coins of the particular cryptocurrency. High market cap means a large volume of the crypto coins participating in active transactions, which means an enhanced interest of investors; Liquidity level – the higher it is, the faster a cryptocurrency can be sold at the market price. The most popular cryptocurrencies – Ethereum, Bitcoin and Ripple – have a high liquidity rate. Trading activity on exchanges indicates the number of transactions with certain cryptos made over a certain period. This indicator shows an actual demand in particular cryptocurrencies among traders; Check the current top 10 cryptocurrencies with the highest market cap (January 28, 2020): Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/ Rules to learn before investing in cryptocurrencies in 2020 According to AMarkets expert Artem Deev, the following recommendations will help to minimize risks and increase ROI for cryptocurrency investors this year: Diversify your investments – never invest money in one asset. New traders and investors make this mistake repeatedly and, as a result, lose all money after the first failing deal. Diversify your investment portfolio. At least one of the chosen cryptocurrencies will bring profits and you will be able to minimize losses; Do not blindly trust one source of data – always use a few sources (chats, forums, expert opinion, financial analysis, brokers); Learn and observe – it is the only way to pick the best cryptocurrencies and the entry point to this extremely volatile market; Story continues Top 5 cryptocurrencies to invest in 2020: 1.

SEBA was set up in April 2018 and received a banking license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) in August of this year. “More than 10 years after the invention of Bitcoin, there is still a tremendous gap between traditional banking on one side and decentralized finance on the other side,” said SEBA in Thursday's statement, adding that it aims to bridge the gap. The bank also offers SEBAwallet app, e-banking, and SEBA card facilities, through which customers can manage five cryptocurrencies - bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), Stellar (XLM), litecoin (LTC) and ether classic (ETC), and convert them into traditional currencies and vice versa online. SEBA also provides corporate accounts to Swiss blockchain companies and their employees. SEBA rival Sygnum also got a banking license in Switzerland in August and went live a month after.

Thanks for the positive feedback and responses, hopefully we can re-start/continue the discussion.\n\nPost:\n\nBotting-aside (that\'s a separate issue), I have an alternative take on current flea market pricing. Thought my perspective may be insightful as someone who has studied/worked with markets extensively, so hopefully I won\'t be downvoted to hell for a different take.\n\nI have flipped sports cards as a part-time job for more than a decade, and its not unusual to see 500% profit (within a year) on items - Luka Doncic & Giannis Rookie cards are two examples of collectibles that have increased 500-1000% in price a year recently due to the scarcity and massively increased demand.\n\n[https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?\\_from=R40&\\_nkw=luka+doncic+national+treasures&\\_sacat=0&LH\\_Sold=1&LH\\_Complete=1&\\_sop=16](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=luka+doncic+national+treasures&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1&_sop=16)\n\nHere are some examples of Luka Doncic rookies that are selling for 500%-1000% profits based on last fall - now, should we assume there is something wrong with eBay\'s system because prices on these are way higher than "What they were" 5 months ago? The prices in game are made-up by devs... whos to say scav junk box is worth 1.4mil?? The market determines the actual value... not a made up number by a developer (although they influence prices by playing the whale and dumping huge supplies on the market, effectively setting the price temorarily).This is the whole reason behind dynamic pricing & why water now costs 11k instead of 3k in the last patch... adding healing/energy between raids spiked the demand on water and food massively and clearly that 3k price they set earlier wasn\'t the true market value now was it? Changes in-game will influence the demand/supply of items, so why should prices stay what they\'ve always been?\n\nIt\'s well-accepted that theres tons of new players in Tarkov - obviously that will increase the demand for rare items & not the supply very much, no? Thousands of new players with level 1 traders only also want BS ammo....\n\nI think I can make my argument in another way as well: look at items such as PS ammo, ragman level 3 steel helmets and others - these are selling BELOW the price of traders. Why? Because there is not enough demand for these items and/or too many sellers & too much supply/competition; as a result sellers are willing to enter the market under the price of traders due to the conditions of the market... I see some people that are basically mad that rare items can\'t maintain a low price due the supply not being able to meet to the massive demand. You can see the same in any market, whether it\'s bitcoin (prices also jumped when a ton of newbies entered the market), tickle-me-elmo, kobe bryant rookie cards or on the price of any other scarce item that can\'t support a huge spike in demand. (I can explain this in a player-based, game-theory perspective as well, but I\'ll stop there for now.)\n\nNow, all that being said, should we really be mad that the price of water, a thermal, or the best ammo in-game has gone up 300% in a quarantined warzone like Tarkov is supposed to be? (Especially with an influx of new players driving up demand but not supply.)\n\nI thought it was supposed to be realistic :D', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/eyz5um/an_ebay_flippers_take_on_the_current_state_of_the/', 'eyz5um', [['u/PhilosopherDave', 13, '2020-02-05 00:23', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/eyz5um/an_ebay_flippers_take_on_the_current_state_of_the/fgk6nj6/', 'Exactly.

Since then many of those projects’ leaders have walked off into the sunset with a healthy pocket. This debate predictably occurs between the Bitcoin maximalists and altcoiners. Whilst neither group are capable of predicting the future, it is difficult to ascertain that from their tweets such is their certainty and confidence. One of the main issues that arises with all cryptocurrencies boosting substantially in value over time is that mainstream media begins to pay interest once again. Under substantial scrutiny many of these projects then become clearly unfeasible. This in turn brings valid questions as to the value and importance of the industry as a whole. Story continues When the price inevitably crashes, the criticism from mainstream media becomes vindicated, and the cycle repeats itself. The cryptocurrency markets certainly have no need for more than 5,000 distinct cryptocurrencies. Even the most passionate of altcoin believers would find it hard to disagree.

According to a new announcement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the exact standards are on the path to be broadened. The current criteria for the accredited investor status only takes into account a person’s income and net worth. Only those with over $1 million in net worth, $200,000 in annual income, or $300,000 in joint annual income can gain access to private securities offerings, hedge funds, and private-equity funds. Institutions also need more than $5 million in assets to meet the legal requirement for accredited investors. The newly proposed amendment would expand the test to include those with professional knowledge, experience, or certifications that could prove their qualification to participate in private capital markets. “Modernization of this approach is long overdue,” SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said in apress release. “The proposal would add additional means for individuals to qualify to participate in our private capital markets based on established, clear measures of financial sophistication.” While there was no overt connection drawn in its announcement, the proposed change would expand access to certain crypto-related financial products that are only available to U.S. accredited investors.

I made a mistake in this tx. Once I fixed the error, it went through. I did send an email to nChain before posting this without getting a reply. Regardless, I was still wrong.\n\nWhile the Genesis upgrade rejects all new P2SH transactions (sending to addresses starting with a 3), you can still redeem BSV stored in those addresses.\n\nThis is not true of the OP\\_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcodes. They have been disabled. Any BSV stored in a time locked address cannot be moved anymore. They became worthless.\n\nOne example is at 3FAaJCTjPLjDWmJMgtokuU5jXjmtzhuZ5o which requires the OP\\_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode to spend according to the script "0420923a5eb1754104e8bd934e16665aa946c61f052fce83a285f41b78018e464539b8fdc5c328711fc29df8f559e3286356d99d38a4a41df563e4a6d8f52619e7c613fa1985ba3b07ac" which has a redeem date and time of 2020/02/05 and time 00:00, so it couldn\'t have been spent before the Genesis upgrade by nChain.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization -- with a total value of $162 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.com -- has gained 23 percent so far this year, adding to its 87 percent gain in 2019. The U.S. killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was the spark that gave the market confidence to start the fire, said Mati Greenspan , founder of Quantum Economics. The kindling had in fact been building for a while. US, CHINA AND THE RACE FOR DIGITAL CURRENCY Bitcoin was trading near $6,970 per digital coin -- a little less than 50 percent off its 2019 high above $12,000 -- before the killing of Soleiman, which sparked concern that the U.S. was on the verge of military conflict with the Islamic Republic. The cryptocurrency immediately surged above $7,200 and has gained more than 28 percent since the news of the general's death, trading at $8,913 as of Friday morning. There are fundamental reasons for the gains, too, such as halving, expected this May. In halving, which happens roughly every four years, the amount of new bitcoin coin mined in each transaction is cut by 50 percent. The so-called mining that generates bitcoin involves algorithmic verification of deals in a digital open-source ledger known as blockchain. I honestly think this was just due to halving and we just happen to see it happening right now, Kiana Danial, CEO of Investdiva.com and the author of Cryptocurrency Investing for Dummies, told FOX Business Maria Bartiromo. The Chicago Mercantile Exchanges launch of bitcoin options and a technical indicator pointing to more gains have aided the cryptocurrency's rise, too, she said. Greenspan, meanwhile, pointed to central banks loosening monetary policy. That typically devalues sovereign currencies and prompts investors to park their holdings elsewhere to retain value. The Federal Reserve began cutting rates in the second half of 2019 and has restarted purchases of government securities to buoy short-term lending markets. The European Central Bank, the Peoples Bank of China and the Bank of Japan are also in easing mode.

Despite bitcoin's gains, it has yet to approach its 2017 high of about $20,000, a peak followed by a precipitous slide to $3,400 the very next year, prompting increased government scrutiny.

The term ‘blockchain interoperability’ has been tossed around for some time now, yet the vast majority of projects are still operating in siloes, thereby preventing the industry from reaching its full potential. Recently, new organisations have sprung up that aim to facilitate interaction between networks and ensure the concept of decentralisation is fully realised. What is blockchain interoperability? Blockchain interoperability means the ability to share, see, and access information across different networks without the need for intermediaries. Currently, blockchain networks operate independently from one another. The Bitcoin blockchain, for instance, operates entirely separately from the Ethereum network. There are vast numbers of projects out there, all of which have different characteristics – such as the type of transactions, hashing algorithm, or consensus model – and which specialise in a particular area. Some networks are designed for specific groups, organisations, or governmental departments. None of these networks have knowledge of the information contained on other networks, despite operating in the same industry. ConsenSys has argued that the ecosystem is currently in danger of ‘Balkanisation’ – becoming a series of unconnected systems operating alongside, but siloed from, each other. Its research paper warned: “We would be left with a scattered collection of siloed blockchains, each supported by a weak network of nodes and susceptible to attack, manipulation, and centralisation.” Why is blockchain interoperability important? The ability of different blockchain networks to interact with each other and share information is regarded as critical to the success of projects and the industry in general. In fact, interoperability is crucial in any software system – it simply won’t work to its full potential if it can’t work with other software. For example, most mobile apps that allow payments have to interoperate with PayPal. Story continues As IBM fellow and vice president for blockchain technologies Jerry Cuomo recently pointed out : “Interoperability in digital systems is important – period. Blockchain happens to be the latest and greatest recent breakthrough in that, so it applies equally as well.” Interoperability is thought to be an important precursor to blockchain’s mass adoption because it would hopefully enable smooth information sharing, easier execution of smart contracts, a more user-friendly experience, the opportunity to develop partnerships, and the sharing of solutions. At the same time, removing the need for intermediaries or third parties would push the industry closer to its goal of decentralisation. “The concept of decentralisation and blockchain interoperability are closely related,” said Jack Lu , founder and CEO of Wanchain. “Interoperability is the ability to freely share information across all blockchain networks. In a fully interoperable ecosystem, if a user from another blockchain sends you something on your blockchain, you will be able to easily recognise and interact with it. “Blockchain projects that want to implement interoperability into their platform want to create an ecosystem that will enable different blockchains to easily communicate with each another without the need for an intermediary – like a centralised exchange.” Projects focusing on blockchain interoperability Several projects have launched that aim to encourage and facilitate blockchain interoperability. One of the most well-known is Cosmos, which aims to act as an ecosystem of blockchains that can scale and interoperate with each other. The end goal is to create an ‘internet of blockchains’ – a network of blockchains that can communicate with one another in a decentralised way. The company’s website states: “With Cosmos, blockchains can maintain sovereignty, process transactions quickly, and communicate with other blockchains in the ecosystem, making it optimal for a variety of use cases.” Other well-known projects include Polkadot, which facilitates transactions and data exchange; Aion, which is working towards integrating artificial intelligence in its consensus model; and Ark, which lets users create new blockchains within minutes. Moving forward Interoperability could be a game changer for the blockchain industry, but there are still lots of hurdles to overcome. Many blockchains continue to move in different directions, are out to compete with one another and don’t have features that would support interconnection. But as interoperability start-up ventures gain traction, it could help to persuade networks that the seamless exchange of data is crucial to the success of the entire market.

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 rose by 0.73% on Saturday. Following on from a 0.62% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,877.2. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $9,657.8 before making a move. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $9,706.07 before rallying to a late intraday high $9,920.8. The rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $9,882.17 to hit $9,900 levels for the 1 st time since late October. Coming within range of the second major resistance level at $9,959.13, Bitcoin eased back to sub-$9,900 late in the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the current week gains. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with a 13.43% surge. EOS (+3.64%), Litecoin (+3.22%), and Tezos (+4.85%) also made solid gains on the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.66%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.67%), Ethereum (+0.07%), and Monero’s XMR (+1.56%) also ended the day in the green. Binance Coin (-1.00%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.75%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.94%) end the day in the red, however. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Tuesday low $254.52bn to an early Sunday high $286.16bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $285.90bn. Having fallen back from 66% levels, Bitcoin’s dominance slipped further back to sub-64% levels going into Sunday. More marked gains across the broader market pinned Bitcoin back on the day. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.8%. Trading volumes also picked up, rising to $146bn levels on Thursday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $134.90bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.98% to $10,073.0. A particularly bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally from an early morning low $9,871.1 to a high $10,109.0. Story continues Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,979.4 and second major resistance level at $10,081.6. Elsewhere, it was a sea of green across the crypto board. Bitcoin Cash SV and Binance Coin led the way early with gains of 8.30% and 6.56% respectively. Litecoin and Tezos trailed the pack early, with gains of just 0.73% and 0.37% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to break back through the second major resistance level at $10,081.6 to target $10,500 levels. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $10,109.0. Barring an extended rally through the day, Bitcoin would likely fall short of the third major resistance level at $10,344.60. In the event of another breakout, resistance at $10,500 would likely limit the upside on the day. Failure to move back through the second major resistance level could see Bitcoin give up the early gains. A fall back through the first major resistance level to sub-$9,820 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,716.4 into play. Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,900 on the day.

The 50 exponential moving average darted over the 200 EMA to the upside for the first time since April 2019, signalling a bull dominance that looked likely to materialise on Friday. A bearish fight repeatedly held the price down but, by 2am this morning, the portents of destiny were in positive mood as BTC began to climb unchecked from $9,970. By 3am, any bearish resistance appeared to have transformed into a welcoming committee with a full $100 rise within the hour. The scene for today\x92s noteworthy value was set days ago. Bitcoin moved 5% upwards on Wednesday as it looked to test an apparent $9,600 level of resistance with $10,000 within sight.

A close above $7,870 (Nov. 29 high) is now needed to invalidate the lower-highs set up and confirm a short-term bullish reversal. That looks likely, as one daily chart indicator is flashing a bullish divergence and Wednesdays engulfing candle signaled seller exhaustion. Bitcoin surged by over 10 percent on Wednesday the biggest single-day gain since Oct. 25, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index . Notably, prices had slumped to seven-month lows below $6,500 around lunchtime (UTC), but the breakdown was quickly undone and the cryptocurrency was trading above $7,400 before midnight. The rebound from multi-month lows is a tell-tale sign of seller exhaustion especially, as it erased the losses seen in the preceding eight days. Related: Bitcoin UTXOs in Loss at Record Highs Amid Price Sell-Off Wednesdays spike has neutralized the immediate bearish case. That said, a bullish reversal would be confirmed only if and when prices rise above the Nov. 29 high of $7,870. That would invalidate the most basic of all bearish patterns a lower-highs setup. With bitcoin currently trading at $7,170, the bull reversal is still $770 away. Daily chart Bitcoin has charted (price via Bitstamp) a series of lower highs (arrows) and lowers lows over the last five months. The last lower high at $7,870 was printed on Nov. 29 and is still intact. A UTC close above that level is needed to confirm a short-term bearish-to-bullish trend change, as noted above. Related: Bitcoin Drops Below Major Price Support for First Time Since May A move above that level shouldnt be ruled out, as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) has diverged in favor of the bulls. A bullish divergence occurs when an indicator prints higher lows, contradicting lower lows on price, and is considered an early warning of an impending corrective bounce. Additionally, Wednesdays big bullish engulfing candle is indicating seller exhaustion and would gain credence if prices find acceptance above $7,450 (the candles high) in the next 24 hours. That would further strengthen the case for a test of resistance at $7,870. Story continues Both patterns would be invalidated if prices drop below $6,428, although that looks unlikely at press time. Weekly chart The overall outlook would turn bullish if and when the falling channel on the weekly chart is breached to the higher side. Currently, the channel resistance is located at $8,463.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,979.4 and the second major resistance level at $10,081.6.

Bitcoin steered well clear of the major support levels throughout the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the upward momentum.

The move to the downside came after a tremendous rally that defied all odds by surging to above $10,180 \x96 rising by 12% in the past week. Numerous technical aspects of the chart are indicating the rally may continue into the rest of February, with the recent golden cross complementing yesterday\x92s confirmed higher high. The sell-off seems to be tied quite prominently to Bitcoin futures on the CME as the decline continued to $9,500 before bouncing back towards $10,000 . It\x92s worth noting that as the CME closes trading for the weekend a gap formed between $9,860 and $10,200. Gaps in traditional markets are often exploited and capitalised upon by traders as, more often than not, a gap soon gets filled following formation. However, now the gap on the CME has been filled there is little stopping Bitcoin from continuing its drive to the upside, as long as it keeps trading above the $9,620 level of support.

It’s the second industry’s motion in as many days to support Telegram’s fight against the SEC allegation it violated U.S. securities law by selling future tokens (called grams) for its TON blockchain to accredited investors in the U.S. On Tuesday, the Chamber of Digital Commercefiledits own amicus brief, supporting Telegram’s argument that “digital assets may be the subject of an investment contract without being a security.” The Chamber, however, did not explicitly ask the court to take either side in this litigation. Related:SEC Charges Blockchain Marketplace Opporty Over ‘Fraudulent’ $600,000 ICO TheBlockchain Association’s briefstrikes a more straightforward note, arguing Telegram made sufficient efforts to meet the SEC’s criteria, adding that the regulator’s court action could harm both Telegram’s investors and the market in general. “The Court should not block a long-planned, highly anticipated product launch by interfering with a contract between sophisticated private parties. Doing so would needlessly harm the investors that securities laws were designed to protect,” the association says in its brief. Repeating long-held concerns that blockchain and cryptocurrency companies have not received clear and unambiguous guidance from the SEC for years, the brief argues the agency’s litigation against Telegram makes the situation even more gray: “The SEC’s lawsuit also raises novel questions regarding whether companies are forbidden from raising funds from sophisticated U.S. investors, under well-established regulatory provisions, to build blockchain networks.” Related:Digital Chamber Asks Court to Draw Line Between Investment Contracts and Assets in Telegram Case The advocacy group cites other cases of blockchain startups successfully interacting with the regulator, namelyTurnKey JetandPocketful of Quarters, which both secured no-action letters from the SEC. Kik is also mentioned, a firm stillhopingfor a court trial on its famous case. “Engaging with the SEC is extremely costly” and doesn’t necessarily save companies from future actions, the brief argues. “Telegram discussed its plans with SEC staff for a year and a half, provided copious information and responded to limited feedback by adjusting the design of its transaction. Yet, at the end, the SEC has sued, and the SEC’s briefs thus far say nothing about the substance of those discussions,” the association says. Forcing Telegram to cancel the launch of TON and the token issuance will ultimately harm both innovators and investors who invested in grams, the brief continues: “It would frustrate the investors’ aims in entering into the Purchase Agreement, and would frustrate innovation by delaying the network launch.” The association concludes by asking the court to “reject the SEC’s arguments that the not-yet-in-existence Grams were securities at the time of the Purchase Agreements.” The first court hearing for the case is scheduled for February 18. • Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust Is Now Open to More Investors as SEC Reporting Company • SEC: Cash-Strapped Telegram Launched 2018 Token Sale to Pay for Servers... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['Crypto exchange Binance\x92s peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platform has added support for Russian rubles (RUB). It allows users to buy and sell bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), Tether stablecoin (USDT) and Binance\x92s native coin (BNB) directly with rubles, according to an announcement Tuesday. Binance already supports rubles for direct fiat-to-crypto buying, but the P2P platform allows trading between people, even when crypto trading is banned in a certain country or jurisdiction. For instance, crypto-to-fiat trading is banned in China since 2017, but P2P platforms facilitate crypto trades.

The decline of the market in 2018 as well as the rollercoaster ride of 2019 gave room for real-life use cases for blockchain technology to come to the fore. So what does 2020 have in store for the blockchain? We can expect to see the following: 1. Greater Regulation A bill has been submitted to the US Congress seeking to provide a proper regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, with legal backing. Harnessing the full potential of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies is only possible when this industry is regulated just enough to root out the bad guys, but not too much as to stifle innovation. Many countries may perhaps be waiting to see what model of regulation the US brings to the table. Successful deployment of a regulatory framework in the US could spur a slew of similar actions across the globe. 2. Greater Institutional Footprint If blockchain assets and other digital currencies are brought into regulation in the US , this may finally give the confidence to other institutional players to bring money into the market, knowing that they have a cover for their humongous investments. Enterprise adoption is going to increase and we will see further deepening of the cryptocurrency market as well as adoption of more real life use cases for blockchain projects. 3. The Death of More ICOs of Yesteryears Many more of the much-hyped ICOs of 2017 and 2018 that were on one form of life support or another may finally be killed off this year as disillusioned investors jettison whatever they can of their battered holdings in order to recover some of their investment. Many of those ICOs were simply riding the moving horse. With that horse starting to tire, it became aware of all the deadweight and started to throw them off its back. This is exactly what has happened to all the deadbeat ICOs which had no real product, no value to add, but only served as a way for the founders to make money off gullible people who could not predict what would happen down the road. 4. More Funding for Viable Blockchain Projects Ripple was able to raise an additional $200m in December 2019 despite the underwhelming performance of its token in the market. The reason is simple: it has a working product which is gathering loads of attention from the relevant market and more players in that sector are signing up. Projects which have great use case scenarios will keep attracting more funding and more clientele. It will only be a matter of time before the boys are separated from the men. Story continues 5. Bitcoin to Continue Its Market Domination Bitcoin looks good to continue its dominance in the cryptocurrency market. According to TradingBeasts cryptocurrency guide for novice traders, it still commands the market capitalization, the trading volumes and market interest all across the world to maintain this position. Mention some other cryptocurrency in some parts of the world and many would draw blank; mention Bitcoin and the lights come on. We expect this to continue in 2020. This will be more pronounced in countries whose national currencies would struggle in the face of economic turmoil. In these areas, Bitcoin would become the new safe haven asset, which only serves to continue Bitcoin’s market domination. 6. Launch of a Few National Cryptocurrencies Some countries are in the stage of conceptualization, or are already in advanced stages of development of their national cryptocurrencies. Examples of countries that are considering launching digital versions of their national currencies include Switzerland and China, although the latter continues to keep mum over such a development. 2020 may also see more countries opening discussions and consultations to kickstart the digitalization of their national countries. However, these discussions seem to be well pronounced in Europe, less so in Asia and virtually non-existent in Africa and Latin America. Will the lagging countries be open to the idea? 2020 will tell. 7. The Make or Break Year for Libra Libra is yet to take off the blocks and already the project has started to face hitches with stiff opposition from the US, France and a few other countries. Some of its consort partners have also pulled out of the project. 2020 will determine if this project will take off or if Mark Zuckerberg and his team will decide to either kill off the project or replace it with something that is more agreeable to regulators and finance ministers. So these are the events we think will shape the blockchain industry in 2020.

As he’s highlighted on the campaign trail and debate stage, Americans could do a lot with $1,000 every month. You could invest in a side business, save up for a home, or if you’re like millions of Americans with student loans, you could use it to pay down student debt. But when it comes to Yang’s cornerstone $1,000 a month “freedom dividend” as part of an answer to the problem of nearly $1.7 trillion dollars in outstanding student loan debt that Americans are increasingly struggling to pay back, former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson told Yahoo Finance that it alone might not be enough. Williamson, who suspended her campaign for the Democratic nomination in January, noted on Yahoo Finance’s YFi PM that while she previously and still currently supports the idea of a universal basic income, she believes student loan forgiveness would be a more worthwhile economic stimulus to pursue. “Even though I did in my campaign and I still do support UBI, it’s not the second coming of Christ,” she said, referring to universal base income. “It’s not going to fix everything, and I’m not in support of ‘UBI instead of everything else.’ Many of these issues still need to be dealt with.” To be fair, Yang’s campaign has proposed additional fixes specifically for the growing problem of student loans, including making it easier to discharge educational debt in bankruptcy. The campaign has also said it wouldexplore a blanket partial reduction in the principal of school loans, particularly for recent graduates with the largest debt levels. Williamson, who supported Yang at an event on the campaign trail in Iowa, said backing a blanket elimination of student loans would do more to stimulate the economy than even the Trump tax cuts. “You want to stimulate the economy? I’ll tell you what you do, get rid of this college loan debt,” she said. When reached for comment, Yang’s national press secretary S.Y. Lee thanked Williamson for her support of universal basic income and “her support of the Freedom Dividend, and her voice for peace in a world where strife is abounds,” he wrote. “We look forward to her continued advocacy.” Zack Guzman is the host ofYFi PMas well as a senior writer and on-air reporter covering entrepreneurship, cannabis, startups, and breaking news at Yahoo Finance.

For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the crypto majors. Tezos led the way, rallying by 11.47%. Cardano’s ADA (+7.57%), EOS (+7.12%), Ethereum (+6.78%), and Monero’s XMR (+6.37%) also made solid gains.

A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $10,246.0 to a high $10.314.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin was down by 0.38% to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the pack, with Ethereum up by 2.15% to lead the way. Stellar’s Lumen (+1.16%) and Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%) also found strong support early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $10,300 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $10,468.67 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $10,400 levels. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $10,400 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin would eye a breakout from $10,500 levels before any pullback. Failure to move back through to $10,300 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse A fall back through the morning low $10,246 to sub-$10,095 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,872.67 into play. Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,800 levels on the day.

That’s a significant drop from the growth rates of 4.67 and 7.08 percent, recorded on Jan. 28 and 14, respectively.\nRelated:North Korea Is Expanding Its Monero Mining Operations, Says Report\nBitcoin is designed for the difficulty to adjust roughly every two weeks, depending on the amount of computing power connected to the network. When more miners join the race to earn newly created bitcoin, the difficulty rises; when miners drop out, the measure eases.\nBefore the slowdown, miners were bracing for a new reality: their industry was about to become fundamentally less profitable. In May, mining rewards are expected to be cut in half, to around 6.25 bitcoin ($64,000 at current prices) per block, every 10 minutes or so. This would be the third so-called halving in bitcoin’s history and could result in operating costs exceeding revenue at miners.\n“Many miners have been phasing out older mining machines and buying new and more powerful models as we get closer to the halving,” said Jason Wu, the co-founder and CEO of crypto lending startup DeFiner. For example, mining farm tenants have started to replace old machines such as Bitmain’s AntMiner S7 and S9 since the second half of 2019, Wu said.\n“The outbreak may have delayed the transition and contributed to the slow growth in mining difficulty,” Wu said.\nRelated:Childhood Friends Battle Over Ownership of North America’s Largest Bitcoin Mine\nMiners now keep running the remaining old machines since a high bitcoin price at the moment (above $10,000 since the weekend) keeps such operations profitable, while waiting for new models to be delivered, according to Wu.\nAside from the availability of new equipment, the virus has affected some miners in a more direct way.\n“While most mining farms remain open during the Chinese New Year, there have been incidents where mining farms are shut by local governments due to the outbreak,” said Aries Wang, co-founder and CEO of crypto exchange Bibox.\nOne mining farm owned by mining pool BTC.top’s CEO Zhuoer Jiang was shut down by the local government in an unnamed area in China, Jiangsaidon Feb. 4 via the social media network Weibo.\nAmong the largest c Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [7124.67, 7152.30, 6932.48, 6640.52, 7276.80, 7202.84, 7218.82, 7191.16, 7511.59, 7355.63, 7322.53, 7275.16, 7238.97, 7290.09, 7317.99, 7422.65, 7293.00, 7193.60, 7200.17, 6985.47, 7344.88, 7410.66, 7411.32, 7769.22, 8163.69, 8079.86, 7879.07, 8166.55, 8037.54, 8192.49, 8144.19, 8827.76, 8807.01, 8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

CoinDesk KoreareportedSunday that Vidente, the largest shareholder of Bithumb Holdings, which runs Bithumb Korea, confirmed the withheld amount in a notice and said the tax will be imposed on its foreign customers. However, that may not actually happen. This is the first time the country’s taxation agency has imposed tax on gains from cryptocurrency transactions, the report said. Related:South Korean Central Bank to Organize a CBDC Task Force “Bithumb Korea is planning to take legal action against the tax claim so the final payment can be adjusted in the future,” the notice said, according to areportby Korea JoongAng Daily on Monday. The amount of tax was calculated based on the rate for miscellaneous income, i.e. irregular income like lottery gains, Korea Joongang Daily wrote. The tax is collected at an annualized rate of 22 percent, based on the amount of foreign withdrawals from Bithumb. It’s unclear what consequences the action will have for Bithumb’s clients or the exchange itself. Bithumb hasn’t commented on the situation by press time. According to the report, while the tax office’s first target is foreign customers trading cryptocurrency on the Bithumb exchange, withholding tax is paid to the government by the party that pays money in a transaction, in this case Bithumb, rather than the customers. “Bithumb can pay 80.3 billion won and [theoretically] afterwards collect the amount from its foreign clients, but practically it’s impossible,” Kim Woo-cheol, a University of Seoul professor of taxation, said in the report. Related:Crypto Custodians Grapple With Germany’s New Rules Korea Joongang Daily cites an anonymous source at the exchange explaining that although the Korean government banned foreigners from opening accounts on crypto exchanges in December 2017, they still used the country’s trading platforms. “So were transactions using fake names. Even for the exchanges, it’s difficult to know who the investors actually are and how much their trading profits are. It’s questionable what the taxation was based on,” the source said. Korea’s Income Tax Act currently does not recognize cryptocurrency transactions as taxable events and there are no clear rules about taxing crypto in the country at this point. Earlier in December, the country’s Ministry of Economy and Financesaidit would introduce specific regulations for taxing crypto in the coming year. In another step towards regulating the industry, Korea’s central bank published areportsaying it will hire experts to study distributed ledgers, cryptocurrencies and CBDCs (central bank-backed cryptocurrencies). In 2018, South Koreabannedanonymous crypto trading. According to the Special Financial Transactions Information Act, which is under works in the country’s National Assembly, crypto exchanges will have to register with the Financial Services Commission (FSC), and failure to do so can result in punishment up to five years in prison. • Bomb Threats Demanding Bitcoin Force Evacuations Across Russia • Ex-Kraken Employee Alleges ‘Unethical and Illegal Tactics’ in Discrimination Lawsuit... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/dcman00000', 'Discussion thread, get in here and speak your mind', 27, '2020-02-12 03:11', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitstatistssay/comments/f2jm9h/discussion_thread_get_in_here_and_speak_your_mind/', 'Hey, first thing is first\n\nJoin us in our subreddit discord [here](https://discordapp.com/invite/dzxvwGg)\n\n\nWe\'re pretty lax in terms of content, we talk politics sometimes, but also just hang out and chat.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,452.67 before sliding to a late morning intraday low $10,058.0. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $10,230.67 and the second major support level at $10,123.33. Finding support in the early afternoon, Bitcoin bounced back to an early afternoon intraday high $10,491.0. Bitcoin broke back through the first major resistance level at $10,452.67 before sliding back into the red. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, the upward trend. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was another mixed day for the crypto majors. Binance Coin and Tezos led the way down, with losses of 6.74% and 5.76% on Thursday. Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.89%), Litecoin (-1.01%), and Monero’s XMR (-3.02%) also joined Bitcoin in the red. It was a bullish day for the rest of the majors, however. Ripple’s XRP led the way, rallying by 7.40%, with Stellar’s Lumen up by 3.16%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.16%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.49%), EOS (+0.42%), Ethereum (+0.67%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.09%) saw modest gains on Thursday. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $279.65bn before rising to an early Thursday high $308.04bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $300.81bn. Bitcoin’s dominance slipped further back through the week, falling from 63.3% to 61.8% at the time of writing. Trading volumes were on the rise, however, jumping to $195bn levels on Thursday before easing back. Volumes had stat at sub-$130bn levels in the early part of the week. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $187.47bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.31% to $10,190.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,236.4 to a low $10,173.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Binance Coin and Stellar’s Lumen bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.28% and by 1.62% respectively. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however. Ripple’s XRP and EOS fell by 1.25% and 1.15% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $10,260 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $10,456.0 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,400 levels. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $10,456.0 would likely leave Bitcoin short of $10,500 levels. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin would eye a breakout from the second major resistance level at $10,690.0. Failure to move back through to $10,400 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through to sub-$10,100 levels would bring the first major support level at $10,023.0 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$10,000 levels on the day.

Only a handful of cold storage crypto policies have been written at this time; high-net-worth individuals are the main driver for the business. Lloyd’s of London has set up a crypto subgroup within its Product Innovation Facility, which includes mega-broker Marsh. Marsh says it has a hot wallet crime cover product in the pipeline. An insurance company saying it hopes to pay a sizable claim sounds like a turkey looking forward to Christmas. But that’s exactly what James Croome, fine art and specie underwriter at Arch Insurance International, says he wants his firm to do. Just to show that it can. Related: Bitcoin Hits New 2020 High Above $8,400 After Iranian Missile Attack Arch is one of the few underwriters willing to insure cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians against the theft or loss of customer funds. London-based Arch Insurance International, which works with a number of big-name brokers offering crypto cover, has yet to pay out for any losses in this relatively new market. If someone does manage to pull off a heist of cryptographic keys kept offline in cold storage, Arch will get a chance to demonstrate it’s good for the money, said Croome, who works out of London. “I would like there to be a containable but sizable loss,” he said. “Because that would give evidence to our potential clients as to the service we can provide, the speed at which we will pay the claims and remind people who have bought coverage that it does work appropriately.” Insurers have years of experience in covering specialized assets in the traditional world, whether that’s fine art or the regulatory requirements to protect financial services firms. But they feel less secure with crypto because there is a shortage of data for firms to model policy rates. Related: Equilibrium’s Stablecoin Now Has $17.5M in Insurance That Pays Out Automatically Story continues In response to this, Croome helped create a consortium, including mega-broker Marsh and global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, to offer cold storage cover for crypto assets. Released in September , Blue Vault, which is solely owned by Arch, provides limits of up to $150 million and covers the loss of digital assets due to internal and external theft (via direct access to the storage media as opposed to remote hacking attacks) and including employee collusion. Blue Vault also covers physical damage or destruction of private keys from fires, floods, earthquakes and other catastrophic events. Ankur Kacker, vice president and specie expert on Marsh’s Digital Asset Risk Transfer (DART) team, said: “We have placed four policies for Blue Vault as of now, all in the last seven months.” Marsh, the world’s largest insurance broker, recently announced a deal with Ledger Vault , the institution-focused arm of Ledger, the well-known hardware wallet provider for $150 million cold storage cover; Marsh is working in a similar way with crypto custodian KNOX. Pet peeves Arch chose to work with law firm Norton Rose Fulbright on the crypto policy because it wanted precise policy wording. Ambiguous language is a pet peeve of Croome’s. “My biggest annoyance with the specie market is the existence of ambiguous wordings, which is why I chose to work with a legal firm with a track record in this space,” he said. Norton Rose Fulbright has given presentations in New York, Bermuda and to the London Market to help “educate insurance markets and develop set the market and standards for cold storage of these assets,” said Nicholas Berry, a partner at the law firm. The firm also helped Lloyd’s of London with its market guidance on underwriting digital assets. Norton Rose Fulbright enlisted the help of Peter McBurney, Professor of Computer Science, King’s College London and a consultant with the law firm, to spell out technical aspects of key management and crypto storage and create appropriate policy wording. This is an instance where the London Market has led other international markets, said Berry. “Going back to 2018, there has been a mismatch between supply in terms of underwriting capacity and demand for those wanting cold storage or even hot crime-type cover. Some of the big brokers have been pushing the supply side to provide more cover in terms of higher limits, wider cover,” he said. Crypto insurance is widely seen as a prerequisite for greater institutional involvement in the market. But Croome is wary of companies offering insurance policies as a marketing ploy. “We tend not to look at insureds that are looking for a chicken-egg scenario. They feel they don’t have a current revenue stream but are hoping the existence of insurance will help speed up the point at which assets come into custody and therefore increase their revenue,” he said. As well as Marsh, Arch has been working with Aon, the number two broker by size. Other brokers known to be exploring crypto include Arthur J. Gallagher and Paragon. But Croome says that for now he is shying away from really broadening out his broker network for crypto. “I think I will keep to the ones that have shown comprehension of that which we like. They understand that and therefore they can filter out the sort of things we seek to avoid,” said Croome. Virgin territory Insurance companies like Arch bring in third party specialists to examine physical vault security and do the same to understand and communicate the risks around the storage of crypto. “I wouldn’t consider myself capable of valuing a Dutch master [painting], knowing if it was genuine or a fake.That’s not my job,” said Croome. Peter McBurney, who divides his time between academia and advising Norton Rose Fulbright’s clients on technology matters, does the equivalent of physical vault checking for the IT system that would create and store the private keys. McBurney estimates there are still reasonably few policies written in London covering crypto cold storage, and the same in New York, although this number is increasing. “It’s still very early days, it is almost virgin territory.” McBurney said ultra-high net worth individuals or hedge funds who already have relationships with custodians for storage of fine art or gold bullion are driving the market for crypto insurance. “They are going to their existing physical custodians and saying, ‘Can you also store our private keys?’ So the custodians are going to insurers and saying, ‘Can you insure us to store these private keys?’ and that’s where a lot of the business has originated. It’s customer-driven from the individuals and the hedge funds who have large crypto holdings,” he said. Lloyd’s of London, the centuries-old insurance market, has realized there are new revenue streams to be had with crypto. Its underwriters have launched the Product Innovation Facility , which spans some 24 markets and has over $100 million of capacity. The facility includes a crypto subgroup, where Marsh has a representative. A spokesman for Lloyd’s said it’s too early for any on-record comment from the crypto subcommittee at this time. Marsh also did not comment on the group’s purview. The group will likely be looking beyond cold storage to include crime bond markets; E&O (Errors and Omissions) insurance; D&O (Directors and Officers) and a general smorgasbord of potential product offerings to the digital assets world, according to sources close to the Lloyd’s market. Hot and cold The risk relating to crypto held on exchanges and in wallets connected to the internet is a very different animal from vaulted cold storage. To deal with losses from third-party hacks, most of the large crypto exchanges simply self-insure, holding large amounts of bitcoin locked up for such occasions. Having battled it out in the market for some years, people like Binance chief “CZ” Changpeng Zhao or Kraken CEO Jesse Powell see insurance for hot wallets as a fundamentally flawed concept. Arch is not looking to enter the hot wallet space any time soon. However, Croome said he can see ways the crime market could interplay with the specie world. “We will often take an excess layer, the larger chunk of capacity above the crime policy, to very high exposures but on a much tighter coverage. They will take much broader coverage with much smaller limits,” he said. Marsh’s Digital Asset Risk Transfer team has clearly been pursuing its own plans regarding a hot wallet product. Quizzed on the subject of hot wallet coverage, Kacker said: “At this point in time, I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag. But I can say it’s in the pipeline.” Related Stories Chinese Insurance Giant Ping An’s Blockchain Arm Reveals Terms for $468M IPO Ledger’s Vault Scores $150 Million in Crypto Insurance From Lloyd’s Syndicate... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/[deleted]', 'IRS quietly deletes guideline that Fortnite virtual currency must be reported on tax returns', 392, '2020-02-14 03:38', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/f3lhtr/irs_quietly_deletes_guideline_that_fortnite/', '"The little-noticed provision, which dated back at least to October according to the cached version of an\xa0IRS webpage on Archive.org, appeared to mark the first time the agency has ruled on video game currencies, including Fortnite\'s V-bucks,\xa0purchased with real dollars.

She recently vehemently opposed the Sprint-T-Mobile merger in Slate , warning that “further consolidating an already anti-competitive sector” would make “it easier for those companies to gouge their customers.” Social media companies are making our lives a privacy hell, she says. And Democrats aren’t much better than Republicans when it comes to standing up to Big Tech. Part of the Institute for Public Representation (IPR) Communications & Technology Clinic, Barrett represents non-profits in enforcing and defending public interest laws. We spoke with her as part of our Election 2020 package, covering big issues in tech, where the candidates stand, and what politicians can do about the data abusers. This interview has been edited and condensed. Related: Privacy Laws Are Only as Effective as the Companies Implementing Them Ben Powers: What big questions around tech should we be paying more attention to? Barrett: Corruption is a big one. There’s no major issue where the law isn’t either non-inclusive or deeply skewed towards allowing industry impunity. We can’t change things unless we are able to tamp down on how lobbyists are able to shape policy, and ensure the expertise that Congress has access to is independent. Privacy, particularly consumer privacy, is a really big one under the tech umbrella. So is consumer privacy. Privacy can unfortunately get siloed into talking about Facebook and Google and nothing else. But we’re talking about data that’s collected from us and that law enforcement has access to, in 50 different ways, and none of it is trivial.

As reported by Coin Rivet in yesterday’s market analysis , the $8,400 level is the same point at which price was rejected on numerous occasions throughout September. The daily candle also closed back below the 200 exponential moving average (EMA), which could suggest that more downside price action is to come over the next week. The first hurdle for Bitcoin is to break past the $7,900 level once again after the 7.5% decline over the past 48 hours saw price slump back to $7,850. A further sell-off from the current level will see Bitcoin fall back towards the $7,400 level of support, which was a notable point of resistance over December. The daily relative strength index has also experienced a brutal rejection from the bullish control zone, dropping from 68 to 60 during the recent downturn in price. For Bitcoin to play out the predicted bullish reversal, it needs to close daily candles above $8,400 with an aim at trading towards the $8,800 level of resistance. However, in light of the recent descent, it seems more likely that Bitcoin will continue to drop back to where it was trading throughout December, just above the $7,000 mark.

Besides, there were very mild reaction (yet) to the crash of a passenger plane near Tehran. US and Canadian politicians say it possibly done by mistake, i.e. it may not have entailed additional toughening against Iran. TheNasdaq index passed the 9000 markthis morning, an almost 10% increase over a month. Oil returned to $65 per barrel of Brent, compared to levels above $70.50 at the peak of fears on Wednesday. Gold, which jumped above $1600 in the middle of the week, traded at $1548, close to its highest levels since 2013. Geopolitics got loud at the beginning of the year, but today it should give way to macroeconomic news as US employment data is published. Robust November data has removed much of the fear that the world’s largest economy is slowing down. December data is expected to show growth by 150K-160K, which looks good after a jump of 266K a month earlier. Another pleasant surprise for the markets from macrostatistics may finally remove all the obstacles for the growth of stock markets. A sharp deterioration in the data may alert the markets, returning doubts about the economy’s ability to record-breaking 11th consecutive year. For the dollar, the situation looks more complicated. Classically, weak data can cause pressure on the dollar, as it will indicate a softer tone of monetary policy in the coming months. Otherwise, a sharp US growth cooling may be perceived as a warning signal for the global economy. If the demand for safe assets on the world markets returns, the dollar may well get additional demand, developing the growth trend since the beginning of the year. In this case, an important milestone may be the area of Christmas highs at 97.40 for the USD index, as well as the area of 1.1060 for EURUSD and 1.29 for GBPUSD.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin miner maker MicroBT has rapidly expanded market share by selling over half a million units in 2019, chipping away at rival Bitmain’s dominance.\nMicroBT sold about 600,000 units of its flagship WhatsMiner M20 series last year, Vincent Zhang, sales head of the Shenzhen-based company, said in an online panel hosted by Chinese mining pool Poolin on Thursday in a WeChat group.\nThese products generate a computing power of about 60 terahashes per second (TH/s) on average, he said. That means the newly delivered 600,000 units may have contributed over 30 exahashes (EH/s) of hashing power to the bitcoin network in 2019. (1 EH = 1 million TH).\nRelated:Iran Concerns May Be Driving Trump Administration’s Talk of New Crypto Rules\nAmid bitcoin’s price jump throughout 2019, the network’s two-week average computing power more than doubled from just 40 EH/s around the end of 2018 to nearly 100 EH/s in December. That’d mean close to half of bitcoin’s computing power growth in 2019 may have come from equipment delivered by MicroBT.\nZhang didn’t specify the precise average unit price of these batches, as they could fluctuate depending on bitcoin’s price over the year. But the firm’s various models in its M20 product line are generally priced between $24 to $30 per terahash, meaning the firm has brought home a high nine-figure revenue in U.S. dollarsfor 2019.\nBitcoin’s current computing power stands at 110 EH/s. That also means MicroBT may account for around 30 percent of bitcoin mining power sold right now, making it one of the largest andfastest-growingminer makers in the world.\nMeanwhile, crypto research firm Coinsharesestimatedin a report on Dec. 12 that Bitmain’s dominance of sold bitcoin hash rate was about 65 percent at the time, already down from 75 percent in 2018.\nRelated:Bitcoin’s Mining Difficulty Stagnates as Coronavirus Outbreak Delays New Equipment\nBut this number may already be slightly outdated as bitcoin’s computing power has since then grown by yet another 20 percent, jumping from 92 EH/s in mid December to about 110 EH/s at the moment.\nHangzhou-based Canaan Creative, maker of the Avalon miner, which went public in the U.S. in November, estimated in its IPO filing that it accounted for around 20 percent of bitcoin computing power sold for the first six months of 2019. The firm has yet to release its full-year results.\nThat said, Bitmain’s mining equipment still dominates the market, resulting from the successful sales of its AntMiner S7 from 2015 to 2016 and later its S9 model from 2017 to 2018.\nAccording to Bitmain’s IPO filing in September 2018 in Hong Kong, the firm delivered about 500,000 bitcoin miners in 2015 and 2016, and further sold 3 million units from the beginning of 2017 to June 30, 2018, amid the crypto market’s bull run.\nWhile S9s – with an average 14 TH/s computing power – are still the most widely used miners, they are facing an increasing risk of becoming obsolete as bitcoin’s halving event approaches in May, which will reduce bitcoin’s mining rewards from 12.5 bitcoin per block to 6.25.\nCoinDeskreportedearlier this month that mining farms have been procuring the latest and most powerful miners to expand their facilities or replace older models in preparation for the upcoming halving.\nWhile Bitmain its latest AntMiner S17 series last year to rival MicroBT’s WhatsMiner M20 product line, the latter has significantly outrun Bitmain in terms of mass production and shipments.\nThe two firms are also racing to deliver even more powerful machines in 2020 ahead of the halving event, namely, the AntMiner S19 and WhatsMiner M30. That said, the actual production quantity of these products still largely depends on the supply of wafers from semiconductor companies such as Samsung or TSMC, which, according to Zhang, is “very limited.”\nMeanwhile, as the coronavirus outbreak in China delays manufacturing and logistics, bitcoin’s computing power growth hasstagnatedfor the time being.

Safe havens like gold, Japanese yen, and Swiss franc retreated aftersurging earlier in the weekas traders looked to secure their investments. Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), too suffered marketwide losses on Thursday. What Happened President Donald Trump, in his Wednesday address, said that the U.S.wants to pursue de-escalationof the situation. The Trump Administration will move for economic sanctions instead of further military action, he suggested. “The U.S. is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it,” the president said, adding that Iran too appeared to be “standing down.” Trump was speaking in the aftermath ofIran’s strikes at Iraqi airbasesthat hosted American troops. No casualties were reported from the incident. Irani leaders, too, have said that the country will not pursue further escalation in the absence of American provocation. Iran’s ambassador to the United Nationstold the blocthat it doesn’t seek “escalation or war,” and that its strikes were a “measured and proportionate military response.” Some analysts are doubting whether this will indeed be the end of Iran’s revenge for killing Soleimani, who was often described as Iran’s second most powerful person after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, The Nikkei Asian Review reported. The experts polled by The Nikkei noted that Iranian hackers are notorious for cyber attacks, and more such attacks could follow as revenge for Soleimani’s death. Nevertheless, fears of immediate armed conflicts seem to have eased.

Today's Key News: ['(Bloomberg) -- Binance Holdings Ltd., one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency-trading platforms, has made its first foray into business services by lending its technology and liquidity to those who want to start their own exchanges. The Malta-based crypto behemoth announced its cloud operation to help business clients and partners set up crypto exchanges using Binance’s tech infrastructure, ranging from matching engines to risk controls and data security systems, according to a company statement. Tech giants like Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc. have over the years evolved beyond their core consumer-facing services and become some of the world’s biggest cloud providers -- and Binance envisions the same type of success in crypto. Binance Cloud will overtake the company’s main exchange to become its biggest source of revenue in five years, co-founder and CEO “CZ” Zhao Changpeng estimates. “Theoretically speaking, we can let anyone in the world create their own exchanges, and the demand is huge,” the 43-year-old coder-turned-entrepreneur said in an interview. “Even during the crypto winter of 2018 and 2019, hundreds of new exchanges popped up every day.” The cloud division -- which started just three months ago and now has nearly 20 people -- complements Binance’s strategy of attracting fiat money. Like its peers, Binance makes money mostly via transaction fees on its trading platforms, which fluctuate wildly with crypto prices. The shift into enterprise-oriented businesses could also help the startup unlock a more steady revenue stream. Binance started off in 2017 as a crypto-to-crypto trading platform, and gained momentum quickly by handling only tokens like Bitcoin and Ether, which allowed it to avoid dealing with banks and government watchdogs. Now a major player, Zhao’s firm is working to shake off its reputation as a regulatory arbitrageur: It has set up regulatory-compliant fiat exchanges in jurisdictions like Singapore and Jersey as it seeks to appeal to a much larger user base that hasn’t bought digital money yet. Story continues Binance Applied for Singapore’s New Crypto License, CEO Says And this isn’t Zhao’s first crack at the cloud business. Before Binance, he was the founder of a Shanghai-based startup called BijieTech specializing in outsourcing tech solutions for crypto exchange operators. Zhao said Binance would favor fiat exchanges as its cloud clients, especially those that target regions or communities where the company doesn’t yet have a strong foothold. Ideally they would also have “good compliance status, relationships, and even strong influence with regulators,” he said. Competition is still nascent in cloud services for crypto exchanges. Binance rival Huobi rolled out its cloud operation in 2018 and has signed up partners including Russia’s VEB Bank and Taiwan’s Chi Fu Group, according to its website. Binance will announce the first fiat exchange powered by its cloud service in the coming weeks, while it has confirmed four other clients in the lineup, Zhao said, without sharing specifics. Aside from tapping into Binance tech, Zhao said clients will also be able to access the order books of all the existing trading pairs on Binance. “Liquidity is a chicken-and-egg problem for small exchanges,” he said. “Without liquidity, they won’t have users.” To contact the reporter on this story: Zheping Huang in Hong Kong at [email protected] To contact the editors responsible for this story: Edwin Chan at [email protected], Joanna Ossinger, David Scanlan For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com Subscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source. ©2020 Bloomberg L.P.', '(Bloomberg) -- Binance Holdings Ltd., one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency-trading platforms, has made its first foray into business services by lending its technology and liquidity to those who want to start their own exchanges.\nThe Malta-based crypto behemoth announced its cloud operation to help business clients and partners set up crypto exchanges using Binance’s tech infrastructure, ranging from matching engines to risk controls and data security systems, according to a company statement.\nTech giants like Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc. have over the years evolved beyond their core consumer-facing services and become some of the world’s biggest cloud providers -- and Binance envisions the same type of success in crypto.

Despite the fact that a number of top altcoins have rallied against their respective BTC trading pairs today, Bitcoin Cash has struggled to make a gain. At the time of writing it was trading at around $391, six percent lower than the crucial level of support turned resistance at $418. The daily 22 exponential moving average (EMA) is now ticking to the downside which suggests that momentum in the short term is driving price towards the $358 level of support. A break below the daily 55 EMA and the $357 level of support would undoubtedly cause continuation to the downside as cryptocurrency bulls put the champagne on ice. However, much of it depends on the upcoming direction of Bitcoin, which will undergo a block reward halving in May. The block reward halving is considered a key event in the cycle of Bitcoin bull and bear markets as it theoretically dries up supply, thus causing a natural increase in price. Breaking above $500 would mark a fairly substantial and historic moment for Bitcoin Cash, which has failed to trade above that level since November 2018. Key price targets fn a breakout comes into fruition would be at $560 and $644 with another level at $855.

In May 2017, Bitcoin payments took about four days unless a fee was paid, which was proportionately too large for small transactions. A change to the code was implemented and Bitcoin Cash was born on 1st August 2017.

A variety of tactics are used by hackers and their methods are improving every day. The most common strategies adopted by scammers include financial pyramid schemes, exchanges targeting exit scams, fake web and hardware wallets, and even Ponzi schemes. In order to better understand how hackers successfully steal your cryptocurrency , I will take an in-depth look at each method using real-life examples. Hopefully, by understanding how hackers operate and what red flags to look out for, youll be better prepared to fend them off and successfully protect your coins. In this article, Ill discuss Ponzi schemes, financial pyramid schemes, and fake web and hardware wallets. Ponzi schemes According to Investopedia , Ponzi schemes (or scams) are based on fraudulent investment management services. Investors typically contribute money to the portfolio manager who promises them a high return. Afterwards, when those investors want their money back, they are paid out with the incoming funds contributed by later investors. The person organising this type of fraud is in charge of controlling the entire operation they merely transfer funds from one client to another and forgo any real investment activities. One of the biggest Ponzi schemes in crypto one that currently keeps adding selling pressure to Bitcoin is the Plus Token scam. Plus Token was a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme disguised as a high-yield investment program. Platform administrators closed down the operation in June 2019 after withdrawing over $3 billion in stolen cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EOS. A report by Chainalysis, a US-based blockchain analysis company, claims Plus Token was one of the largest Ponzi schemes ever and was potentially responsible for the 2019 downturn in BTC price. Story continues The report claims that there are still at least 20,000 BTC and 790,000 ETH missing which could be dumped on the market at any time. Financial pyramid schemes A financial pyramid scheme is structured so that the initial schemer must recruit other investors who will continue to recruit other investors, and those investors will then continue to recruit additional investors, and so on. There will be an incentive that is presented as an investment opportunity, such as the right to sell a particular product or high earnings per recruit. Each investor pays the person who recruited them and so on. The recipient must share the proceeds with those in the higher levels of the pyramid structure. One key difference is that pyramid schemes are harder to prove than Ponzi schemes. They are also better protected because the legal teams behind corporations are much more powerful than those protecting an individual. Just recently in Brazil , a group called Bitcoin Banco (Bitcoin Bank) is alleged to have conducted a million dollar exit scam . The group was in charge of a great deal of exchanges in the country and promised set returns to investors who traded the exchange currency, Negociecoins. However, according to analysts, This profit did not exist because the company needs investor money to produce order book orders. Fake wallets One of the most common mistakes by junior cryptocurrency users is to fall prey to fake cryptocurrency web wallets and hardware wallets. Since some users trust Google and other search engines to look up websites, its quite easy to click on the wrong website. To avoid making this mistake, always check the website youre accessing is the real one. There are loads of fake URLs and GitHub repositories with the sole purpose of stealing your precious cryptocurrency. A simple solution is to save websites you visit often, like web wallets and exchanges, into your browser favourites list. That way, it will be near impossible to fall prey to fake URL hacks. Conclusion Before making any decisions about trading your cryptocurrency or investing in a new coin, make sure you complete thorough research. Keep on top of the latest news and trends as reports of scams begin to increase. Most of all, dont forget to apply everyday digital best practices to your activity. Cryptocurrency scams and vulnerabilities will continue to evolve as the industry grows and its your responsibility to stay protected. Safe trades!

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 rallied by 4.86% on Tuesday. Reversing a 2.19% decline from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,184.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $9,637.9 before finding support. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,483.27, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,275.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,950.97 and the second major resistance level at $10,193.93. It was a choppy end to the day, however. Bitcoin fell back through the second major support level to limit the upside on the day. Holding on to $10,000 levels was key for the week ahead, however. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin failing to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the crypto majors. Tezos (+8.25%), Litecoin (+5.41%), Ethereum (+5.63%), and EOS (+5.25%) led the way on the day. Binance Coin (+2.68%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.71%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.22%), Monero’s XMR (+4.90%), Ripple’s XRP (+3.77%), Stellar’s Lumen (+4.42%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.48%) also made strong gains. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend on the day, falling by 0.75%. Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a low $273.33bn before hitting a Tuesday high $297.09bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $295.57bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at sub-63% levels in the early part of the week. Bitcoin saw relatively modest gains after taking a hit on Monday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.4%. Trading volumes eased back from $196bn levels seen on Monday to sub-$180bn levels on Tuesday. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $173.77bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.34% to $10,149.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,199.0 to a low $10,134.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day, with Bitcoin Cash SV rising by 0.13% to buck the trend once more. With the rest of the pack in the red, Bitcoin Cash ABC, Tezos and Tron’s TRX led the way down, with losses of 1.57, 0.92%, and 0.81% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $10,200 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $10,426.70 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back out from Tuesday’s high $10,275. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $10,200 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. In the event of another breakout, $10,500 levels could come back into play before any pullback. We would expect Bitcoin to fall well short of the second major support level at $10,669.4, however. Failure to move through to $10,200 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through to sub-$10,030 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,789.6 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,700 levels on the day.

He is also the cofounder of Coin Metrics, a blockchain analytics startup. On May 9, 2019, Representative Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), member of the House Financial Services Committee, made an impassioned speech about cryptocurrency. In his speech, the mask typically worn by policymakers slipped: his words betrayed the threat cryptocurrencies pose to the state. Sherman said: Related: Financial Services: The Coming Cataclysm “An awful lot of our international power comes from the fact that the dollar is the standard unit of international finance and transactions. Clearing through the N.Y. Fed is critical for major oil and other transactions, and it is the announced purpose of the supporters of cryptocurrency to take that power away from us, to put us in a position where the most significant sanctions we have on Iran, for example, would become irrelevant.” But does cryptocurrency really pose a threat to America’s monetary dominance? I’d like to propose an alternative. Far from compromising the dollar’s mighty advantage internationally, cryptocurrency, and the infrastructure built to support it, may well entrench its position. To assess this possibility, one must understand cases where the dollar has already infiltrated foreign countries. This is commonly called “dollarization.” Dollarization refers to the process of adopting a foreign currency (typically but, confusingly, not always, the U.S. dollar) in lieu of a local sovereign currency. It happens both in an informal, bottom-up way and a top-down manner, when the local central bank capitulates and adopts the dollar as legal tender. The bottom-up model occurs in a spontaneous manner as citizens flee a depreciating local currency and adopt the dollar, even when dollar holdings might be criminalized or where capital controls exist.

Usually, I\'m late to the meme stock party and miss out on profits. So, I thought to myself "If I can think of the similarities between these companies, maybe I can beat the crowd and make some real r/wsb front page worthy shit."^^hopefully ^^as ^^gains\n \nThe Baseline Stock\n\nAs my first stock of analysis, of course, I took the latest meme stock $SPCE, Virgin Galactic. Founder Richard Branson is a multi-billionaire with the proper financial backings to make a company huge. But, I figured that is not enough drive for even the newest of new investors to buy calls/shares in the masses and the stock price to soar. With a quick background check, you could find that Branson tried sending tourists to space back in 2008. [\\[ref\\]](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7529978.stm) He even said he had over 250 people prepaid for $200,000 each. If that happened today, the stock would have probably rocketed to another dimension. \n \nEven better, the market $SPCE is entering isn\'t controlled by a single company, leaving room for huge growth and a market with gigantic potential. Fox already reported this hype that the space market is projected to reach upwards of $1 trillion. This was even before Virgin Galactic took off in December, albeit this market cap projection included weather, Wi-Fi, shipping and logistics, television and radio rely on satellite-based services. [\\[ref\\]](https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/space-trillion-dollar-economy) This could be a factor.\n \nPast Trends Analysis\n\nIt seems, especially nowadays, hype drives certain stocks through the roof. Even the slight thought of a company having a massive market cap leads to a huge response from investors. No news becomes good news for the company and good news creates huge share volumes. Most recently, $SPCE and $TSLA bulled their way to daily gains at unimaginable rates without much concrete news. Some meme stocks mentioned here do well ($AMD, $MSFT), those <10% daily gains have some premise, having solid financials to back it up. But, they do not demonstrate extreme leaps like $SPCE who hasn\'t even made a penny (since I\'m Canadian, I should say a Nickel instead). To strengthen my original reasoning, I needed to think of other stocks that had this situation. Then, it all started to come together...\n\n* $SPCE - Sub-orbital tourism/travel. [+320% in 2 1/2 months](https://imgur.com/a/2ODk0X7)\n* $TSLA - The BEV vehicle with a bonus of technology and renewable energy market? Close enough of a guess, but who cares because it went [+270% in 4 months](https://imgur.com/a/RMhHzCa)\n* $ACB^^RIP - Legal weed hype. Canada legalizing marijuana. [+376% in just over 2 months](https://imgur.com/a/gBILaZd)\n* $BYND - Vegetarian "meat" market. Blew up [+255% in merely 2 1/2 months](https://imgur.com/a/dit7tmY)\n* $NFLX - Online mass video streaming market. [+114% in 6 months] (https://imgur.com/a/gkhjCLT) \n* Though this is not a stock, Bitcoin investments when it was seemingly the first kind of major form of cryptocurrency was insane. [+2,390% in 1 year.](https://imgur.com/a/7yU03hK) I\'d call this an outlier but I don\'t know anything about the market so maybe another will happen. \n\nThis is a list of stocks I can think of, irrelevant of their revenue, that showed the best of best short term gains and all had that similarity. \n\nAhead of the Party\n\nIf I want to get ahead of these parties I need to pick the $BYND or the $SPCE @ $8 before it runs up a 89.9° incline. Finding a company that has the potential to completely enter and control a market, without any actual revenue history. That\'s where this prediction comes in: $DEAC. \n \nThe market: Major sports betting on the US market is not yet available and this acquisition corporation plans to change that by merging with DraftKings. [\\[ref\\]](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-23/draftkings-is-going-public-in-deal-valuing-firm-at-3-3-billion) Before this merger was made public, CNBC wrote a huge article on the sports betting, including a market projection of $150 billion (the estimated current illegal gambling market size). DraftKings and FanDuel own 83% of the legal gambling market in New Jersey. [\\[ref\\]] (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/27/fanduel-draftkings-race-to-win-150-billion-sports-betting-market.html) This leads to a massive potential upside in having an IPO in the sports betting industry, projected to be $5 billion dollars. \n\nThe opportunity: $DEAC is an acquisition corporation meant exactly for this purpose. They plan to merge with DraftKings and change to a publicly-traded DraftKings. Not only is the market projected to be large, but this deal is also said to be priced in at a market cap of $3.3 billion. By the way, $DEAC is currently at an $840 million market cap. Now... I\'m no mathematician, but those numbers are definitely far apart.\n\nThe challenge: While a supreme court ruling allowed any state their own legalization ability for sports betting, I believe NYC just turned down daily sports fantasy betting again. It most likely will be appealed but state legalization it is something to keep in mind. Currently, it shows 21 states have DFS regulations. [\\[ref\\]](https://www.legalsportsreport.com/daily-fantasy-sports-blocked-allowed-states/) Tax incentives could be a push for the other states to follow and legalize DFS regulations.\n \nConclusion/TLDR\n\nThere\'s one thing in common with these huge gaining stonks, They are breaking through to a market that\'s yet to be controlled. I\'m not a millionaire yet, nor I may never be, but the potential upside of a $DEAC investment seems like a great way to make people millionaires, cough cough calls. \n\n\nMay the gains be with you all!', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/f62ru8/dd_predicting_a_stock_leap/', 'f62ru8', [['u/AutoModerator', 50, '2020-02-19 02:54', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/f62ru8/dd_predicting_a_stock_leap/fi2djqf/', 'Sir, this is a MacDonald.\n\nI am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The observation is based on the fact that five large mining pools have launched a new cloud mining service as a joint venture.\n“In 2020, bitcoin has […] become a highly centralized system that places an increasing amount of trust in a small number of large entities. Any centralization of bitcoin network hash power should be of concern as it erodes the trustless model of the network,” TokenAnalyst, a cryptocurrency research firm, says.\nRelated:You Are the Product: A Three-Step Plan to Take Back Control of Personal Data\nIts strong language is consistent with the folk theorem thatbitcoin(BTC) relies on the decentralization of hash power to be secure. But is it also correct?\nIt is certainly true that one miner with 100 percent of the hash power would have more control over the network than miners with 10 percent hash power. A majority miner can reorganize the blockchain to double-spend his own transactions or even block any unwanted transactions from making it into the blockchain.\nIf a majority miner can misbehave and hurt users, does that mean users should try whatever they can to prevent centralization in hash power?\nFormer Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell sees that as a futile task,given that“[an attack] doesn’t even depend on a single person having too much of the hash power. The attack would work just as well if there were 100 people each with an equal amount and a majority of them colluded to dishonestly override the result.”\nRelated:Never Mind Hodlers, Crypto Needs More Opportunist Investors\nThis insight is important because it shows we can not rule out concentration, ever. Miners can always collude with each other and act as a single entity. It would be ludicrous to trust a system that can collapse after a single conference call – that’s all it would take to coordinate the behavior of the largest mining pools. And if miners could make more money by colluding with each other, we should expect that they will.\nRationality means agents do what is best for them, even if that means colluding with other miners to attack the system.\nAnd – according to Maxwell – this problem might not have a solution because “any mechanism that would let you prevent one party (much less secret collusion) from having too much authority would almost certainly let you just replace mining entirely.”\nSo if the concentration of hash power in proof-of-work (PoW), or of stake in proof-of-stake, is inevitable, why am I not worried?\nThe answer is that bitcoin’s design doesn’t assume mining power is widely distributed. It’s simply not a requirement. Instead, it only assumes miners are rational, which is something completely different. Rationality means agents do what is best for them, even if that means colluding with other miners to attack the system.\nSatoshi addressed this matter directlyin the white paper:\nThe incentive may help encourage nodes to stay honest. If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments, or using it to generate new coins. He ought to find it more profitable to play by the rules, such rules that favor him with more new coins than everyone else combined, than to undermine the system and the validity of his own wealth.\nLet’s unpack this a bit. It is the incentive in the form of new coins and transaction fees that motivate the majority to “stay honest.” Satoshi realized the only way to prevent a “greedy attacker” from taking over is to make it more profitable to play by the rules than to attack the system.\nThis is the key to bitcoin’s assurances and at the same time the most widely misunderstood aspect of bitcoin’s design.\nEconomist Paul Sztorc even says he is “most comfortablejust assuming that everyone is always in perfect collusion with everyone else. Specifically, that all of the hash power is actually owned and operated by one guy, whom we might call ‘Mr. Greed.’ […] Why doesn’t Mr. Greed double spend, you ask? (He can reorganize the chain at any time.) Well, Mr. Greed prefers to keep all of the new coins for himself, rather than undermine the system (and the validity of his own wealth).”\nI must admit, I was not comfortable with what I perceived bitcoin’s security model to be initially. If bitcoin were vulnerable the moment a group of colluding miners obtains 51 percent of hash power, how could we possibly monitor – let alone prevent – this? Moreover, why are smaller forks like [bitcoin cash] BCH and [bitcoin SV] BSV not constantly under attack, given that several individual mining pools in BTC control more hash power than their entire networks?\nThe dissonance disappeared when I realized that hash power concentration doesn’t actually matter. Bitcoin is secure not because it is impossible to attack, but because it is costly to attack.\nThe cost of an attack is directly related to how much hash power the attacker owns. That is the key finding of apaperI released with Curtis and Prestwich in 2019. In a simplified model, we estimated the present value of all mining operations in bitcoin at around 658,800 BTC or $6 billion at current bitcoin prices. (Consequently, 60 percent of hash power is worth around 395,000 BTC or $3.6 billion, and so on.)\nThe present value of these miners depends on the value of the network because their future profit is exclusively from block rewards. They are priced in bitcoin’s native token, BTC. If something happened to bitcoin that would make users lose trust in the system, these 658,800 BTC could lose their value in real terms, incurring a large opportunity cost.\nLet’s say an attacker with 60 percent hash power decided to attack the network. If the attack depresses the price of bitcoin by only 10 percent, a rather conservative guess, he would lose $360 million in future profit. This is the opportunity cost of his attack.\nThis number – also called security margin – gives us an idea of how much an attacker has to be able to gain just to break even with his attack. And it does not yet include the ability for the other 40 percent of hash power to push back, or the ability of users to respond with their own nuclear option of changing the PoW algorithm.\nThe same logic has been replicated in the recent paper “Too Big to Cheat: Mining Pools’ Incentives to Double Spend in Blockchain Based Cryptocurrencies” by Savolainen and Soria. The authors conclude that “the historically observed pool concentration does not indicate a higher risk of double-spending attacks. […] This result demonstrates the well-known economic insight that feasibility does not imply desirability.”\nMining concentration is Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [7511.59, 7355.63, 7322.53, 7275.16, 7238.97, 7290.09, 7317.99, 7422.65, 7293.00, 7193.60, 7200.17, 6985.47, 7344.88, 7410.66, 7411.32, 7769.22, 8163.69, 8079.86, 7879.07, 8166.55, 8037.54, 8192.49, 8144.19, 8827.76, 8807.01, 8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24, 10326.05, 10214.38, 10312.12, 9889.42, 9934.43, 9690.14, 10142.00, 9633.39] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Bitcoin defended key price support early on Thursday, strengthening the case for another move higher. Having faced rejection above $9,400 multiple times on Wednesday, the top cryptocurrency by market value came under pressure during the Asian trading hours today. Buyers, however, absorbed the selling pressure at $9,188, keeping the former resistance-turned-support intact. Bitcoin had reversed lower from the same $9,188 hurdle on Jan. 14, aborting the short-term bullish view. So as the cryptocurrency bounced up strongly from $8,250 earlier this week, traders wondered whether bitcoin will again fail at $9,188 and form a double-top bearish reversal pattern or cross the hurdle with conviction. Related:Binance US Now Offers Staking Rewards for These Two Cryptocurrencies The latter case won the day and the bulls managed to push prices well above $9,188 on Wednesday, flipping the resistance into support and establishing a new higher high. At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $9,350, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. Bitcoin is moving in a sideways channel on the hourly chart. A move above channel resistance at $9,452 would likely accelerate the recent rally and open the doors to $9,600 (channel range added to breakout price). A violation there would expose the psychological resistance at $10,000. The RSI is no longer reporting overbought conditions and is currently in bullish territory above 50. Related:Bitcoin Eyes Best January Close in 7 Years After 30% Price Increase With the longer duration charts also biased bullish, the odds appear stacked in favor of a range breakout. Should the range be breached to the downside, a deeper pullback to the 200-day average at $8,900 may be seen. BItcoin rose past $9,188 on Wednesday with a positive “marubozu candle,” indicating that bullish sentiment is quite strong. Further, the five- and 10-day averages are trending north so dips, if any, are likely to be short-lived. A bearish reversal would be confirmed only if prices print a UTC close below $8,213 (higher low created on Jan. 24). Currently, that looks unlikely.

Related Stories Few Banks Will Touch Crypto Firms, but Silvergate Wants to Touch Bitcoin Itself Nomura Launching Benchmark for Japan’s Crypto Assets', 'Bitcoin is facing an uncertain weekend of price action following a gruelling week that has seen it slump dramatically from last Thursday’s high of $10,500. At the time of writing it was trading above the $9,650 level of support after being propped up by the four-hour 200 exponential moving average (EMA). Weekend price action is typically unpredictable with low volume, which means that values could easily slide in either direction due to a lack of liquidity. A break down from the $9,650 level will bring price targets of $9,350 and $8,830 into the frame, while a break to the upside will undoubtedly cause a re-test of the psychological $10,000 level. It’s worth noting that Bitcoin has surged by more than 40% since the turn of the year as anticipation builds around May’s halving event.

The psychological barrier has been within touching distance for days, but trading volume couldnt quite give it the final push above $9,800 as it looked like BTC was preparing to slump ahead of Mays halving. However, a sudden rush of buyers in the early hours of Sunday morning gave Bitcoin enough momentum to carry it across the $10k mark and cement a leading role in what has been bullish narrative over recent weeks. Despite the golden cross a few days ago, typical volatility took hold and planted the seed of doubt in many minds where the significance of reaching double figures is not lost. The 50 exponential moving average darted over the 200 EMA to the upside for the first time since April 2019, signalling a bull dominance that looked likely to materialise on Friday. A bearish fight repeatedly held the price down but, by 2am this morning, the portents of destiny were in positive mood as BTC began to climb unchecked from $9,970. By 3am, any bearish resistance appeared to have transformed into a welcoming committee with a full $100 rise within the hour. The scene for todays noteworthy value was set days ago. Bitcoin moved 5% upwards on Wednesday as it looked to test an apparent $9,600 level of resistance with $10,000 within sight. Mays halving is clearly a driving force behind this latest rally which has seen Bitcoin spring from $6,400 to $10,000 in under seven weeks. Bitcoins block reward halving will see miners accrue just 6.25 per block rather than 12.5, creating increased scarcity and, therefore, higher demand for holding digital assets.

The complication of how this stuff works + the cheapness of running scams means it\'s so easy\n\nDeleted post below:\n\n\\--\n\nJust got a couple of unexpected transfers into an XRP wallet. Duh, WTF? After realizing that these $0.000000000whatever transfers are BS fairy dust I started to wonder what someone was up to.\n\nSo, what do you do? Try and work out what\'s going on. Most wallets offer a link to an external blockchain explorer - Exodus for instance gets you onto [https://xrpscan.com/](https://xrpscan.com/)\n\nThere I got the \'memo\':\n\nStarting February 1st, 2020, Ripple is releasing 3 Billion XRP to incentivise network users. Get 25% more XRP added to your account balance in just minutes. [https://www.getripple.org](https://www.getripple.org/)\n\nSounds good.\n\nThe URL redirects to [ripple.com](https://ripple.com/) \\- looks legit. Right branding, SSL certificate.

But most humans are not going to see the little í instead of i.\n\nThis is a great example of a brilliant scam.\n\nCost to scammers:\n\n* a domain and a bit of programming\n* about 4 cents per thousand targets in terms of marketing costs (I work in marketing, that\'s a great deal)\n\nIf they manage to get a 0.1% conversion on the scam, that\'s 4 cents per compromised wallet. Let\'s assume people with XRP are bright and they only get 0.001% conversion from their spammy transfer, it\'s still only $4 per wallet. They only need 1 in a million wallet owners to fall for it and they will be in the money if they steal over an average of $40 from each wallet.\n\nI really don\'t want to admire what is basically theft, but this is a brilliant scam with perfect execution. Textbook.\n\nThe victim hooks themselves ("wow, it\'s free money"), voluntarily provides their keys (ignoring every piece of advice from every wallet / website in existence) and will then be confused when their balance is zero instead of balance + 25%. They will then accuse their wallet or hardware device or ripple of being insecure and want their money back.\n\nThe clever thing from the scammers here is that they get the opportunity to send their marks\' cash to a lot of different places (unlike most scams, the victim didn\'t send something to a specific address), the scammers already proved they were smart, so those tokens will rapidly get elsewhere and be untraceable.\n\nI think they are exploiting the fact that XRP works a little different to something like BTC, because the concepts around \'private keys\' and \'secrets\' work differently.

Today's Key News: ['Michael Casey is chief content officer at CoinDesk. The following is part of “The Token Economy,” an essay in Alex Tapscott’s new book “ The Financial Services Revolution .” Blockchain technology, and the cryptocurrencies, tokens and other digital assets it has engendered, may be moving us toward a model of programmable money that incorporates an automated internal governance of common resources and encourages collaboration among communities. Digital scarcity, when applied to these tokens, treats our increasingly digitized economy differently from the pre-digital one. It raises the possibility that our money itself becomes the tool for achieving common outcomes. Developers of new decentralized applications are tokenizing all manner of resources – electricity and bandwidth, for example, but also human qualities such as audience attention for online content or fact-checkers’ honesty. Whereas media coverage has focused on the billions of dollars these token issuers have raised, it’s the radical new economic design that promises a lasting impact on society. Once a community associates scarce tokens with rights to these resources, it can develop controls over token usage that help manage public goods. It’s dynamic money whose role extends beyond that of a unit of exchange, money that’s direct tool for achieving community objectives. Related: China Has Many Strategic Reasons to Invest in Blockchain Throughout 2016 and the first eight months of 2017, developers of decentralized software applications raised almost more than $1.6 billion via a new tool dubbed the ICO [initial coin offering] that was first launched in early 2014. By late July 2017, secondary-market trading in the tokens they’d issued had given the pool of cryptocurrencies, cryptocommodities, and cryptotokens to which they belonged a combined value of $95.6 billion, up from $7 billion at the start of 2016. We may be moving toward a model of programmable money that can deliver a more automated system of internal governance over common resources. Story continues The phenomenon has made many developers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts very rich and revealed a new crowdfunding model that some see as a threat to Silicon Valley’s venture capitalists. Skeptics, on the other hand, make comparisons to the South Sea Bubble, in which shares in an 18th-century British trading company rose rapidly on hype and speculation, only to collapse when the returns didn’t live up to the hype. A chasm has emerged between those who see a game-changing shift, not only in fundraising activity but also in economic strategy, and those who warn of reckless ICO scams and of an impending regulatory crackdown. Both deserve to be considered. If token fans are right, something quite profound is at stake: a new economic system that challenges the basic tenets of 20th century capitalism. These negotiable tokens blur the lines involving “product,” “currency,” and “equity.” In theory, their in-built software can regulate how users behave with each other so that computer owners can trade excess storage across a decentralized network, for example, or social media users can earn income for their content and attention. They combine self-interest and market pricing signals with a governance system that protects a common good. Related: In Defense of Justin Sun For tokens to be viable, however, we need a major overhaul of our auditing processes and commercial regulations to keep issuers honest. If those goals can be met, this emerging token economy offers society an entirely new paradigm of money and value exchange. A solution to the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’? In his influential essay, “Tragedy of the Commons,” about 19th century farmers grazing their cows on common land, the ecologist Garrett Hardin posited that communities that depend on a shared, unregulated resource will ultimately deplete it as individuals are incentivized to pursue self-interest to the detriment of the common good. Hardin recognized a coordination problem caused by a lack of trust, where well-meaning actors can’t avoid overusing a common resource due to their concern that others might “free-ride” on their goodwill. Ever since that 1968 essay, the word “commons” has come to refer not just to natural resources such as land, water and food supplies, but also human-created resources such as public infrastructure and even intangible concepts such as free speech. It is now used frequently in the context of designing policies to ensure free, public access to those resources. Over the years, Hardin’s thesis has been used to justify the role of external governance – that is, the state – in regulating and protecting scarce resources that constitute a public good. Yet, more recently, some economists have demonstrated his rather cynical view of human nature doesn’t always hold true. In particular, the late Elinor Ostrom, who won a Nobel Prize in 2009 for her work studying how fishermen in Maine self-organized to develop ingrained norms of behavior that helped protect the region’s lobster fishery, argued that various communities have proven capable of coming up with effective internal governance to manage resources. However, while there are many instances of such common-interest practices around the world, their success relies more on art than science. Internal governance is often contingent on common cultural practices and close personal ties within a community. Developing a universal model for internal governance has been challenging, especially within the many micro-economic settings in which it is difficult to identify and practically regulate misuse of the common resource. Now, with the advent of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrencies, crypto tokens and other digital assets that it has engendered, we may be moving toward a model of programmable money that can deliver a more automated system of internal governance over common resources. Once a community incorporates programmable software into its shared medium of exchange, it can embed usage rules straight into the monetary unit itself. We can use it for some transactions but not for others, and we can program its value to rise in concert with proof of an improvement in the state of the public resource. Tokens thus offer a way to codify into money itself a function that executes the community’s expectations regarding people’s distinct rights to common property and the associated obligations that come with those. According to Ostrom’s and Schlager’s taxonomy, these may include distinct rights of access, withdrawal, management, exclusion and alienation. If we can capture these quasi-legal notions in a token it becomes a meta-asset, a thing of value that is simultaneously a governance vehicle. It’s money with a dynamic use that extends beyond its role as a stable and exchangeable unit of value, to a direct means of achieving community objectives. The great promise of the token economy is that it might solve the “Tragedy of the Commons.” What bitcoin wrought Both the enthusiasm for meta-asset investing [in the ICO boom] and their potential to tackle the “Tragedy of the Commons” can be traced to bitcoin (BTC), the very first crypto token. Not only did this invention turn the imagination of thousands of developers toward designing applications for a decentralized, dis-intermediated economic future, it also established a precedent for the software-driven internal governance of a scarce public resource. In coming up with the blockchain, a distributed public ledger that a community of currency users could share as their record of the truth, bitcoin’s pseudonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, created a public good, a commons in need of protection. Its integrity had to be assured despite the possibility that individual validators of that ledger, known as bitcoin miners, might be incentivized to act maliciously and enter false data that would allow them to “double-spend” their bitcoin balances – in other words, to engage in digital counterfeiting. There was no centralized authority to keep all the actors honest, no external governance, which had been the failure point for all prior attempts to create a decentralized currency with no centralized authority in charge. Without such an authority, a permissionless ledger that did not require identification of the user was always vulnerable to these abuses. Like the cattle herders on the commons, individual actors could not trust other people to act honestly. Satoshi Nakamoto beat this limitation. By embedding a unique set of software-driven rules into the bitcoin protocol, he incentivized the otherwise unidentified participants in the network to maintain the ledger’s integrity for the good of the whole while simultaneously seeking profits out of self-interest. The key was a special proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm that compelled miners to perform an electricity-burning computation task before they could earn the right to receive bitcoin rewards. That “skin in the game” made it prohibitively expensive to take over the network and doctor the results. It incentivized them to come to a consensus on a truthful ledger with all the other miners. It was a unique marriage of self and common interest. With it, Nakamoto achieved something remarkable: he solved the Tragedy of the Commons. In addition to its PoW consensus system, which compels even unidentifiable rogue players to act honestly, there’s another powerful idea behind bitcoin that has helped frame new ideas around how crypto tokens can help communities manage common resources: that of “digital assets.” Because PoW assures the integrity of the (uppercase B) Bitcoin ledger and protects against double-spending of (lowercase b) bitcoin currency, each unit of that currency can be treated as a unique item. For the first time, we have a form of digital value that cannot be replicated – unlike a Word document, an MP3 song, a video, or any other software vehicle for transmitting value that pre-existed bitcoin.

It has since been flirting with a breakout following yesterday evenings daily candle close, which provided the first marginal higher high since it shot to $14,000 in June. After rallying to its yearly high, Bitcoin slumped into a bearish market trend with four consecutive lower highs at $13,200, $12,400, $11,000 and $10,300. This resulted in an eventual decline towards Decembers local low of $6,410, which coincidentally came exactly two years after Bitcoin achieved its all-time high of $20,000. If Bitcoin can continue to rally over the weekend it will almost certainly test the psychological level of $10,000. A break above here would see the worlds largest cryptocurrency establish a truly bullish trend with upside targets emerging above $11,300. One key technical aspect from the past week is that a golden cross has come into fruition on the daily chart, with the 50 EMA crossing the 200 EMA to the upside. The previous time this happened was in April 2019 when Bitcoin was trading at $4,800, it went on to rise by 195% in the following two months. Eyes on halving The recent rally, which has seen Bitcoin skyrocket from $6,400 to $9,700 in six weeks, has been attributed to the upcoming halving event. Bitcoins block reward halving will commence in May, with miners seeing rewards for each block slashed from 12.5 to 6.25. This has historically caused a tremendous upswing in the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as miners are incentivised to hold rewards, thus reducing supply amid rising demand. Miners also need to ensure the price of Bitcoin trades at a level where the industry remains profitable in order to cover overheads like staff, equipment and electricity. With just three months to go until the halving the price of Bitcoin is predicted to keep rising as anticipation mounts from early adopters and hopeful new investors.

The IFP, for good or bad, for anyone observing closely, is telling us so many things. There is a saying in Chinese, “In crisis, there are opportunities.”\n\nAnd indeed, during this IFP crisis, there are so many opportunities.\n\nI have always thought of Bitcoin Cash as the people’s money and during this crisis, I was not disappointed. The people are willing to band together and resist when they feel Bitcoin Cash is moving in a different direction than what they expected. You don’t have this in BTC because BTC is entirely centralized by Blockstream. This incident is a great opportunity to show the world that Bitcoin Cash is as decentralized as can be compared to other cryptocurrencies.\n\nEven better, the passion from the Bitcoin Cash community has been overwhelming. This is a great signal for a cryptocurrency, particularly because the value of a cryptocurrency is strongly driven by its community. I think there is saying in tech startup like, “It’s better to have 100 loyal customers than 1000 ordinary customers.”\n\nDuring crisis, there are opportunities and during this month, we can see some people stepping up and taking responsibilities to fix the crisis. That is super amazing. It means people care about Bitcoin Cash more than we think. What you want in times of crisis are leaders who would think, “Ok, although I didn’t cause this problem, but I am taking responsibility to fix it anyway”. These are the type of things that highly productive people do and it’s great to have them in the Bitcoin Cash community.\n\nAt the same time, there were some things that I should have said earlier, but I didn’t. Before the situation even escalated to the IFP, I knew ABC needed funding and I suggested to Amaury that he doesn’t need to pay me anything, I can voluntarily help find a VC for them to solve their financial situation. However, the VC would likely expect some things in return. Amaury told me that by doing that, ABC would be no different from Blockstream and he doesn’t want to go down that route.\n\nI do not think Amaury is a bad person, just like I would like to think that Peter Rizun and Andrew Stone are decent folks as well. Jonald is also a great person. Actually, there are lots of good talented people in the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem, which was what attracted me to Bitcoin Cash in the first place. I think we need to recognize that we are playing in the same team and it is not productive for us to make false accusations against someone else in the heat of the moment. For an outsider, such false accusations won’t just look bad on both parties, but it also looks bad ...

Elon Musk was among those taking advantage of a share offering. A director bucked the selling trend at a biotech company as well. Conventional wisdom says that insiders and 10% owners really only buy shares of a company for one reason -- they believe the stock price will rise and they want to profit from it. So insider buying can be an encouraging signal for potential investors, particularly during periods of uncertainty. Here are a few of significant insider purchases reported last week. Also note that with earnings season winding down, buy windows for many insiders are open again. Tesla Tesla Inc (NYSE: TSLA ) CEO Elon Musk took advantage of the recent secondary offering. Via trust, he picked up more than 13,000 shares of this electric vehicle maker at $767.00 apiece. That cost him just shy $10 million. Another director bought 1,250 shares as well. Tesla stock has been on a tear so far this year, hitting new all-time highs. The share price was last seen at $901, well above Musk's purchase price. Note that the posted consensus analyst price target is less than $490. The consensus recommendation is to hold shares, and it has been since before the beginning of 2020. Enterprise Products Partners An Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD ) director returned to purchase 200,000 more shares of this midstream energy services provider via trust last week. At $25.71 to $26.33 per share, that totaled more than $5.19 million. That director has bought 850,000 shares so far this month. The Houston-based company posted disappointing quarterly results at the end of January. The stock is only up about 1% so far this month but still more than 7% lower year to date. Analysts recommend buying the shares, and the consensus target price suggests 32% or so upside from the most recent close. Moderna A director at Moderna Inc (NYSE: MRNA ) purchased more than 52,600 shares last week via trust. At $19.00 per share, that cost the director nearly $1.00 million. Note that the CEO and the president of the clinical-stage biotechnology company both were selling shares last week. This vaccine-developer just received an important FDA approval for its Zika treatment . Shares have retreated more than 5% year to date and ended the week less than a dollar below the director's purchase price. The consensus price target suggests there is more than 62% upside in Moderna stock. See also: Benzinga's Bulls And Bears Of The Week: Merck, Nike, Tesla And More In addition, there was some insider purchasing last week at Bunge Ltd (NYSE: BG ), Meredith Corporation (NYSE: MDP ) and NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE: NEE ).

Democractic presidential candidates have privacy laws and regulations in their campaign platforms. Amy Klobuchar discussed a tax on companies who share user data. Elizabeth Warren has introduced legislation that considers the idea of jail time for CEOs over privacy failures. Before he dropped out of the race, John Delaney proposed the U.S. adopt a law similar to the California Consumer Privacy Act , which gives greater agency to consumers when it comes to limiting companies collecting of their data. Voters are demanding action. A recent poll from Morning Consult found that 79 percent of registered voters said Congress should pursue a bill to better protect the online data of consumers, while 65 percent called data privacy one of the biggest issues facing society. Related: When Corporations Violate Privacy, They Do Concrete Harm The European Union, 27 member states with the loss of the UK, enacted the General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ), enshrining the idea that people have control over personal data. California recently enacted its own privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which goes into effect January 1. The law empowers California consumers to know when private companies collect, share or sell their data and to stop that sale if necessary. It applies to companies with annual gross revenue of more than $25 million or that possess information on 50,000 or more consumers. But laws can have unintended consequences. Sometimes the very laws meant to enforce privacy can result in companies nevertheless sharing it. GDPR opens up a way of crooks to impersonate people and get their data from companies. A year after GDPR went into effect, researchers in the EU showed how it’s easy to access personal data from companies. “This isn’t a problem with the law itself, but instead with the companies and organizations implementing it,” Mariano Di Martino, one of the researchers, who is a PhD student as Hasselt University in Belgium, told CoinDesk in an interview. “This may be because of budgetary constraints or maybe it’s because they don’t understand the risks of this data.” Story continues Related: US DOJ Calls Bitcoin Mixing ‘a Crime’ in Arrest of Software Developer One group used publicly available information, such as names, emails, and phone numbers, in addition to more complicated methods to request information on their research partners from 55 companies under GDPR. One of these complex methods for obtaining the data included replacing the name, birth date and photo on the image of an ID to reflect the person whose information the researchers wanted. Of those 55 companies, 15 companies gave up sensitive personal information to the researchers. Four companies never responded to their data requests, in clear violation of GDPR. This isn’t a problem with the law itself, but instead with the companies and organizations implementing it. The information they gathered included financial companies giving up details such as ID card numbers, a list of timestamped financial transactions, customer IDs, telephone numbers and place of birth, and transportation and logistic companies releasing locations people visited in the past as well as routes they’d saved. Another team of researchers in the EU found similar issues when one requested information on his research partner and the research partner’s wife using a spoofed email account that was a variation on the name of the wife. About a quarter of the 150 companies and organizations they contacted gave up sensitive personal information without verifying the identity of the requester. The information given to him included everything from her social security number to her high school grades and various account passwords. As the CCPA goes into effect, it’s possible we may see similar issues. The GDPR research illustrates that privacy laws may only be as good as the companies affected by them. Which is scary. These leaks have real world implications. “Say I was trying to stalk someone, and I want to learn more about them,” says Di Martino. “I might send a data request to a company that provides taxi or bus services and try to get all the routes or GPS locations where this person has been. And it could work.” Related Stories The US Government’s Mixed Signals on Digital Currency Privacy EFF Defends Ex-Kraken Employee’s Right to Post Anonymously About Company... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Monero’s XMR led the way, rallying by 8.13%, with Bitcoin Cash ABC (+7.93%) and EOS (+7.03%) close behind. Tezos (+6.85%), Litecoin (+6.58%), and Tron’s TRX (+6.54%) also made solid gains.

Today's Key News: ['J.P. Koning, a CoinDesk columnist, worked as an equity researcher at a Canadian brokerage firm and a financial writer at a large Canadian bank. He runs the popularMoneynessblog.\nI don’t know about you, but the thing that got me interested inbitcoin(BTC) was its potential to become a popular way to make payments and remittances. Over the years we’ve been constantly disappointed on this front. Bitcoin payments just never caught on with the masses. Meanwhile, usage of fiat-based person-to-person payment tools like Venmo, Square Cash, Zelle and the U.K.’sFaster Paymentshas exploded.\nBitcoin’s new lightning layer has rekindled the dream of bitcoin-as-generally-accepted medium of exchange. But lightning is prickly to use. Which is why Zap’srecent announcementof Strike, a new lightning application, caught my interest. Strike aims to popularize bitcoin payments by making lightning more user-friendly.\nRelated:Securities Law Helped Build Modern Capitalism. Crypto Should Embrace It\nThe idea behind Strike is to create a fiat-based payments app, say like Venmo, except under the hood the payment is conducted in bitcoin. A hybrid fiat-bitcoin payments app is a neat idea. But marrying fiat with bitcoin will involve challenges, too.\nA bitcoin payment is special. The bitcoin network is open to everyone, or censorship resistant. It allows for pseudonymous usage. And it provides what Satoshi Nakamoto described as non-reversible digital transfers; like cash, once the stuff is spent, the economic relationship between payer and payee is severed.\nWithout even knowing it, you’ve paid your neighbor with bitcoin.\nPseudonymity, non-reversibility and openness will cause hassles that regular payments platforms like Square Cash or Venmo needn’t worry about. It remains to be seen whether hybrid fiat-bitcoin platforms like Strike will be able to marry the two systems in a form that still attracts a mainstream user base.\nRelated:Crypto Exchanges Need Common Messaging to Comply With Travel Rule\nLet’s back up a bit. How does lightning resuscitate the dream of mainstream bitcoin payments? Writing a transaction to bitcoin’s core blockchain takes time. It has to be broadcast to the network and confirmed by miners. On top of that, a processing fee must be paid. This fee can get particularly costly when everyone wants to use the bitcoin network at the same time.\nThese delays and fees put off mainstream users. By routing around the blockchain, lightning can help regular people be more comfortable making bitcoin payments.\nUnfortunately, lightning doesn’t solve bitcoin’s roller-coaster problem. After experiencing bitcoin’s crazy price rises and dips, a new user will never want to hold bitcoin again. Or they will be so excited by the ride that they treat it as abetting game. Either way, they won’t use it for payments.\nStrike, founded by a smart and affableJack Mallers, tries to solve the roller-coaster problem by letting people load funds onto an app, much like they do with Venmo. But when they make a payment, unbeknown to them, Strike (which is still in beta) will route the payment to the recipient via lightning.\nSay you’d like to buy an antique vase for $100 at your neighbor’s garage sale. You don’t have any cash on hand. But you do have your credit card. Needless to say, your neighbor doesn’t have a card terminal set up. But she does have a lightning channel open. Strike allows the two of you to connect. The $100 flows from your bank account to Strike’s bank account, upon which Strike sends 0.01 bitcoins to your neighbor via lightning.\nThat’s it. Without even knowing it, you’ve paid your neighbor with bitcoin. No volatility. And no need to learn how to use a strange new payments network. The entire experience simply piggybacks off of your existing knowledge of how to use a debit card.\nAs for your neighbor, with just a lightning address, she can immediately accept non-reversible payments from debit card holders all over the world. That’s neat.\nBut unless your neighbor has the technical chops, setting up lightning won’t be easy, certainly not as easy as accepting fiat-based payments via Zelle or Venmo. Which means that hybrid fiat-bitcoin payments systems will probably have to reach nooks and crannies that are as-yet unserved by the Zelles and Venmos of the world.\nWhile marijuana is legal in many U.S. states, it is illegal on the federal level. And so banks often disconnect companies that process marijuana payments for fear of losing access to Federal Deposit Insurance, or the Federal Reserve’s settlement system. As a result, many marijuana businesses are forced to turn card-paying customers away.\nIn a recent blog post, Mallersdescribed howhis family’s marijuana store set up a lightning channel, then encouraged debit card-carrying customers to download Strike. Now the store could reconnect to its clients with cards. That’s pretty useful.\nMany parts of the world, including Nigeria, are locked out of the U.S. person-to-person payments economy. Venmo and Zelle don’t allow non-U.S. citizens to sign up. As a matter of policy, PayPal doesn’t allow Nigerians to receive money (although they can open an account). If a Nigerian were to advertise a lightning payments channel, however, a hybrid fiat-to-bitcoin system like Strike could connect that person to Americans who want to do fiat-based person-to-person payments. The sender needn’t know anything about bitcoin or lightning.\nNow for some of the complications of marrying fiat to bitcoin.\nOperators of hybrid systems will have to fund buyer identity fraud out of their own pocket.\nOne of the problems that person-to-person payments apps like Venmo must deal with is buyer identity fraud. Scammers will often hack Venmo accounts or fund them with stolen credit cards. Then they use the funds to buy expensive goods. Sellers never realize they’ve accepted stolen money until Venmo reverses the payment.\nSince a hybrid system like Strike connects to lightning addresses, recouping stolen funds from recipients won’t be possible. Once a lightning payment is made, it’s irreversible. Which means operators of hybrid systems will have to fund buyer identity fraud out of their own pocket. That could get quite expensive.\nAnother type of fraud is authorized push fraud. This sort of fraud occurs when a scammer tricks victims into sending money for, say, concert tickets, but never actually provides the tickets and makes off with the money.\nPayments options like the U.K.’s Faster Payments, Venmo and Square Cash are rife with push fraud. But they do have tools for combating it, including quickly canceling offending accounts and tightening up the rules for opening accounts. Faster Payments isintroducinga new account name checking service to cut down on fraud.\nBut a hybrid fiat-to-bitcoin system that connects to pseudonymous lightning addresses can’t use tools like identity checking or account cancellation to combat authorized push fraud. The whole idea behind bitcoin is to prevent this very sort of censorship.\nAnd so hybrid systems could become popular with fraudsters. Apopular scamthese days is to ask Granny to get out of her rocking chair, go to Walmart and buy four $500 Google Play cards. With a hybrid fiat-bitcoin system, scammers can extort her by having her send $5,000 via her debit card, all from the comfort of her chair. The lightning side of the transaction allows the bad guys to stay anonymous and untouchable.\nThe problem with fraud is that if it gets out of control, it stigmatizes a payments system. This, in turn, harms the brand, impedes broader usage and may even attract political pushback. Douglas Jackson, the founder of the pseudonymouse-Gold payment system, serves as a good example. Accordingto Jackson, e-gold’s failure to ever become more than a marginal player can be blamed on “self-reinforcing negative reputation” created by criminal abuse. (Indeed, it eventually led to e-gold being shut down.)\nTo cut down on buyer identity fraud and authorized push fraud, a hybrid fiat-to-bitcoin system might decide to throw in the towel and do what Venmo and the others do: vet all users. But then it would no longer be doing censorship-resistant money. Gone would be non-reversible transactions. After all, the operator of the payment system could pressure lightning address owners to reverse payments on pain of being taken off of it the operator’s white list.\nStrike highlights many of the contradictions involved in developing bitcoin solutions. Lightning is complicated. This prevents regular folks from using it. But simplifying a lightning payment by marrying it to the fiat system introduces a new set of complications. Bringing censorship resistance and non-reversibility to a mainstream audience may be impossible.\nOr maybe not. There’s a lot of creativity being brought to bear on this problem. Maybe folks like Mallers will find the sweet spot.\n• China Has Many Strategic Reasons to Invest in Blockchain\n• In Defense of Justin Sun', 'J.P.

A weekly close (Sunday, UTC) above $7,960 looks likely and would confirm a falling channel breakout on the weekly chart and signal a revival of the bull run from lows near $4,100 seen in April 2019. Gold witnessed a channel breakout at the end of December and has rallied by more than $100 ever since. Acceptance below $8,000 would weaken the odds of channel breakout this week. Bitcoin jumped to seven-week highs early on Wednesday and appears on track to confirm a significant price breakout similar to that seen by gold. According to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index , the number one cryptocurrency by market value rose to $8,463 the highest level since Nov. 18 during the Asian trading hours as Iran launched retaliatory attacks on the American bases in Iraq. Related: Bitcoin Hits New 2020 High Above $8,400 After Iranian Missile Attack While bitcoin rallied to multi-week highs, gold, a classic haven asset, jumped above $1,600 for the first time since 2013. Other anti-risk assets like Japanese yen, Swiss franc and U.S. bonds also drew bids. The safe-haven narrative surrounding bitcoin has strengthened with the cryptocurrency gaining ground in tandem with gold since Friday. The yellow metal found takers near $1,530 on Friday after the U.S. killed a top Iranian military commander and rose to a high of $1,611 earlier today. Meanwhile, bitcoin turned higher from lows near $6,850 on Friday and has gained more than 20 percent since. The cryptocurrency now looks set to take a page out of golds book and confirm a falling channel breakout on the weekly chart. Bitcoin and gold weekly charts Related: Bitcoin Probes Major Resistance After 15 Percent Price Rally As can be seen, both assets had a tough time in the second half of 2019. Gold (above right) topped out at $1,557 at the end of August and fell to lows below $1,450 in November, creating a falling channel on the weekly chart. The channel was breached on the higher side in the last week of December with a convincing move above $1,483. The breakout signaled a resumption of the rally from lows near $1,270 seen in April and since then, the yellow metal has rallied by more than 8 percent. Story continues Bitcoins weekly chart (above left) also shows a falling channel, which represents the sell-off from the June 2019 high of $13,880 to the low of $6,425 reached in December. The cryptocurrency is currently trading above the falling channel resistance of $7,960. A breakout would be confirmed if prices close the week (Sunday, UTC) above $7,960. That would imply a continuation of the rally from April 2019 low of $4,100 and open the doors for a re-test of $13,880. A breakout looks likely with bullish developments on key technical indicators. Weekly and daily chart Bitcoins rise to seven-week highs has confirmed seller exhaustion signaled by multiple long-tailed weekly candles and the bullish divergence of the MACD histogram, an indicator used to gauge trend strength and identify trend changes. A bullish divergence occurs when an indicator produces higher lows, contradicting lower lows on price and is considered an advance warning of an impending bullish reversal. The MACD has charted higher lows since early December. Meanwhile, the daily chart is reporting an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout, also a bullish reversal pattern. The recent rally looks to have legs, as buying volumes (not shown) have risen over the last few days and the MACD is charting higher bars above the zero line, signaling a strengthening of bullish momentum. All-in-all, the odds appear stacked in favor of a rise to $8,626 the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of the sell-off from $10,350 to$6,425. The odds of bitcoin confirming a channel breakout this comingSunday would drop if prices find acceptance below $8,000 with highvolumes. That said, stronger buying pressure could emerge in the subsequent weeks, yielding a breakout, as miner reward halving (supply-cutting event) is due in May. At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $8,340, representing a 5.4 percent gain on a 24-hour basis. Disclosure: The author does not currently hold any digital assets.

She is also an investor in early stage startups with Slow Ventures. Where are the users? This is the big question facing the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology world. For some, it is the elephant in the room. For others, it is the tantalizing puzzle waiting to be solved. For everyone, it is a matter of survival. Related:No, Concentration Among Miners Isn’t Going to Break Bitcoin A couple of years ago, I wrote a bit about how I conceive ofthe blockchain technology stack. The stack breaks down into three layers: products, platforms and protocols. • Products serve end users • Platforms serve product developers • Protocols serve platform & product developers Products include assets like cryptocurrencies and tokens as well as the applications they enable, such as games and marketplaces. Platforms are developer environments and middleware layers that allow those assets and applications to be built and run. Protocols are the underlying networks and their associated rules. I also wrote, a couple of years ago, about how demand, and therefore value, flows from end users, through products and eventually back to the platforms and protocols that underlie them. I called this dynamic “top-down demand.” At the time that I wrote all of this, in the fall of 2017, at the peak of initial coin offering fever, I was imploring the market to pay closer attention to fundamentals. I hoped founders, developers and creators would pause in their quest for optimization for optimization’s sake (invariably building a better, faster, more secure ethereum) and instead think from first principles about who might actually want such a thing. I wished for the market to place greater focus on end users as opposed to chanting the old Steve Ballmer reprise: “Developers! Developers! Developers!” Related:Financial Services: The Coming Cataclysm I am writing about all of this now because I think, in a way, I was wrong. At a minimum, I think that as an industry we have overcorrected. Two years ago I would have told you the industry needed to focus on end consumers. Today I see this with more nuance. Outside of the weird, wonderful world of cryptocurrency, startups tend to fall into one of a few categories when it comes to go-to-market strategy. They can be B2C (businesses selling directly to consumers), B2B (businesses selling to other businesses or enterprises), or they can be B2B2C. As you may have surmised,B2B2Cbusinesses sell their products to other businesses that in turn pass the product on to their customers. Importantly, B2B2C companies are in the business of acquiring those end users. We must not only build products people want but also build platforms developers need to get there. OpenTable is a great example of this. OpenTable started out much as it exists today: a platform for restaurant-goers to make reservations. Quickly, however, the OpenTable team realized the restaurants did not have the pieces in place to enable this. The restaurants were still taking reservations over the phone and noting them down using pens and clipboards. So OpenTable built out a digital CRM and table management system, selling restaurants the infrastructure they needed to get online. Once they had a critical mass of restaurants on the platform, they could close the loop by once more providing a reservation-booking product to end consumers. I think the blockchain industry can take some lessons from OpenTable. As I rethink the products, platforms and protocols framework, I see parallels to B2B2C businesses. What we need is not, as I advocated for at the time, a greater focus on end consumers. As I look around today, all I see in the cryptocurrency world are strong hypotheses about what end-consumers might want: open access to investment products, freely transferable gaming assets, immutable digital memory, certifiably-scarce digital goods. What is missing is the infrastructure that enables these products. Users are generally the sign that product-market fit has been achieved. The challenge of the blockchain world lies not only in reaching product-market fit, but also in achieving protocol-market fit. For this, we must not onlybuild products people wantbut alsobuild platforms developers needto get there. It’s not all about the wants and needs of end users. It’s also about the wants and needs of the developers and dreamers who will get us there. • Policymakers Shouldn’t Fear Digital Money: So Far It’s Maintaining the Dollar’s Status • CoinDesk’s New Opinion Section: The Future of the Financial System Is Up for Debate... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/jtoomim', 'BTC.top is mining blocks at a loss when BCH mining is not profitable and the block interval exceeds 1 hour -- thank you!', 164, '2020-02-26 00:41', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f9jnyx/btctop_is_mining_blocks_at_a_loss_when_bch_mining/', "Between Feb 1st and Feb 23rd, it had taken at least 1 hour between blocks 59 different times. Of the 59 blocks that broke these dry spells, 37 were mined by BTC.top, or 62.7%. The hashrate during these dry spells is otherwise about 2.0-2.5 EH/s, which indicates that BTC.top is moving about 4 EH/s over to BCH during long dry spells -- that's about 100% of their SHA256 hashrate.\n\nThis behavior started on Feb 1st. There were 175 blocks that took at least 1 hour to mine between Dec 15 and Jan 31st, and of those, only 6 (3.4%) were mined by BTC.top. Before Feb 1st, BTC.top was actively avoiding unprofitable mining. Now, they're actively seeking it out during the worst dry spells with the intent to prevent confirmation times from getting too long.\n\nDuring dry spells, it's usually around 10% more profitable to mine BTC than to mine BCH, so each time BTC.top does this, they're losing around $440 in revenue. That's about $16,400 so far, or around $20,000 per month.\n\nI think BTC.top deserves a big thank you for doing this.\n\nI also think the BCH community needs to fix the difficulty adjustment algorithm, since that's the reason why we're getting these dry spells in the first place. Teaser: i'm working on a video and/or article explaining the problem and how we can fix it. This discovery came while doing research for that. Expect it to be published within the next few days.\n\n[In a comment below](https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f9jnyx/btctop_is_mining_blocks_at_a_loss_when_bch_mining/fis8jre/) is a list of all blocks since 613500 that took more than 1 hour to mine (according to their timestamps), what the exact delay was (in seconds), and whether they were mined by BTC.top, if anyone is curious.

Having 51% of the active hashrate for a fraction of a block interval does not comprise a 51% attack. In order to be a 51% attack, it has to be sustained hashrate on a chain that rejects contributions from other miners.\n\nIt only costs $20k to mine 45 blocks at a 5% loss per block, but it takes a lot more than that to perform a 51% attack. If you're mining honestly, you face basically zero risk that your blocks will end up orphaned; but when performing a 51% attack, the chance is high. 51% attacks also need to be sustained for long periods of time to be effective -- typically 100 to 1000 blocks in the attacks on minor altcoins that I've seen in the past.\n\nBCH has about 3% of the total SHA256 hashrate. Poolin and F2pool each have 20% of the total SHA256 hashrate. That means there are pools out there with 6 times as much hashrate as the BCH network has on average. As long as BCH is valued much lower than BTC, but shares the same hash function as BTC, this will be the case. However, SHA256 miners have shown in the past that they're willing to mine at a loss to protect BCH against 51% attacks. In Nov 2018, when Craig Wright threatened to reorg the BCH chain and perform 51% attacks against it, the BCH hashrate increased to 9 EH/s, or 2.5x above the profit-parity level (which at the time was about 3.5 EH/s). \n\nBCH has a lot of friends in the mining community, so even though the amount of hashrate that can profitably mine BCH at equilibrium is only 3-3.5 EH/s, the amount of available hashrate that is willing to defend BCH against 51% attacks is around 10 EH/s. So to perform a 51% attack on BCH, you'd need more than that.

Today's Key News: ['A U.S. court has found a former Microsoft software engineer guilty of embezzling millions of dollars and turning it into bitcoin (BTC) to fund a life of luxury. Volodymyr Kvashuk, 25, was convicted Tuesday by the U.S. District Court in Seattle of 18 separate federal felonies that defrauded Microsoft out of a total of $10 million, according to a statement from the Department of Justice. A Ukrainian citizen based in the town of Renton, Washington, Kvashuk worked full time for Microsoft from 2016 to 2018. Involved in developing and testing the company’s online retail sales platform, he used his account access to steal what is described as “currency stored value” including digital gift cards that he subsequently re-sold on the internet over a seven-month period. Related: Ukraine Justice System Employee Caught Mining Crypto at Work Kvashuk built a lavish lifestyle using the embezzled funds, purchasing a $160,000 Tesla and a lakefront home worth an estimated $1.6 million. After uncovering the scheme, Microsoft confronted Kvashuk and fired him in June 2018. Kvashuk, who claimed at trial to be working on a special project for the company, stole amounts totaling roughly $12,000 under his own account before using test email accounts associated with fellow Microsoft employees to begin embezzling millions of dollars from the company. Changing funds into bitcoin, he would use a mixing service to obfuscate its origins before transferring the ill-gotten gains into his bank account. In total, bitcoin proceeds of over $2.8 million were transferred into his bank account. In tax returns filed during this period, Kvashuk claimed the funds were a gift from a relative. The trial, which lasted five days, found the engineer guilty on five counts of wire fraud, six counts of money laundering, two counts of aggravated identity theft, two counts of filing false tax returns and one count each of mail fraud, bank card fraud and using a company computer for illicit purposes. Story continues Related: Crypto Investor’s Case Against AT&T Over $24M SIM Hack Can Proceed, Judge Rules Speaking after the trial, special agent Ryan Korner from the Internal Revenue Service’s criminal investigations division highlighted that Kvashuk’s conviction was a result of work carried out by the IRS. “Criminals who think they can avoid detection by using cryptocurrency and laundering through mixers are put on notice … you will be caught and you will be held accountable,” he said. Kvashuk faces as much as 20 years in prison when he is sentenced by the presiding judge on June 1.

What Happened "[We] are spending a lot of time on [cryptocurrencies,] both [on an] inter agency basis and with the regulators," Mnuchin said in response to a question from New Hampshire senator Maggie Hassan. "We are about to roll out some significant new requirements." According to the treasury secretary, while President Donald Trump's administration wants to "make sure that technology moves forward," it also wants to ensure that cryptocurrencies don't become the equivalent of "old Swiss secret number banking. Why It Matters July last year, the official expressed concerns about Facebook Inc.'s (NASDAQ: FB ) proposed Libra cryptocurrency project, saying it had the potential of being misused. "Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have been exploited to support billions of dollars of illicit activity like cybercrime, tax evasion, extortion, ransomware, illicit drugs, human trafficking," Mnuchin said at the time. "Many players have attempted to use cryptocurrencies to fund their malign behavior. This is indeed a national security issue," he added. President Trump expressed similar sentiments at the time, saying he's not a fan of "Bitcoin," or other cryptocurrencies, whose value is based on "thin air." ...and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019 Mnuchin's comments also come at a time when other officials have hinted that the Federal Reserve is looking into the possibility of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and what it would entail. Story continues In a separate hearing last week, Fed chairperson Jerome Powell told the Congress that while there's a "lot to weigh and a lot to work on," the central bank is thinking about issuing a CBDC.

Also, Binance has volume. I had contacted an Australian Exchange (Independent Reserve) via twitter and email on several occasions over the past 2 years in hopes they would list Nano. They\'ve never been keen (belong to the pro-Bitcoin crowd) so their loss as it was only a matter of time before other exchanges would step up. \n\nBinance has done a really good job helping with adoption in recent months.\n\nRemember - once you buy it, get it off the exchange and into your crypto wallet of choice.

By then, ETH - which had kicked off the bull run - was already a well known commodity. Nano had it's moment when it mooned, but it was overshadowed by the 100s of other coins that had similar gains. The space became a massive bubble and scam coins like Bitconnect stole the headlines. The space became less about tech and more about making money.\n\nThen the bubble started to burst and shortly after the Bitgrail exchange got hacked (one of the few sources of Nano at the time). Among the FUD of the falling Nano price, people blamed Nano instead of the exchange for their lost funds. A lawsuit formed against the Nano Foundation drained them of developer funds.

Tesla Vs. Netflix, Amazon Retail investors who appreciate Tesla's products ended up "loving the stock," Cramer said on CNBC. A similar trend played out years ago when early Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX ) and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN ) customers similarly recognized an investment opportunity in the respective stocks, he said. In contrast, Wall Street analysts are always trying to "catch up" with Tesla's stock, Cramer said, adding that the most recent example comes courtesy of Bernstein's Toni Sacconaghi with a note titled "It's Hard To Win A Religious War." "This is basically a messianic situation and you have lapdog retail investors," Cramer said. Tesla Vs. Bitcoin Bitcoin maven Mike Novogratz said on "Bloomberg Markets" that Tesla is showing many similarities to digital coins. The electric automaker's stock is no longer built on any fundamentals; rather, it trades with the philosophy that "any good news is going to shoot it up." Tesla, much like Bitcoin, is based on a concept that is "so powerful it sucks everyone in," much like a bubble, he said. At the same time, there is nothing stopping the stock's upward momentum from continuing over time, Novogratz said. "I got cocky and tried to pick the top of a bubble and I got a black eye," he said. Novogratz said he is short Tesla's stock and expects to cover his position "without that much pain" in the coming days when shares reverse course. In the meantime, he said he still loves his two Tesla vehicles. The stock was trading 10.7% higher at $643.16 at the time of publication Thursday.

I will be mostly focusing on this map for examples, but the skills can be applied to other maps to relative success. This seems to be more applicable to Customs over because of it's linear nature. Also, I'm not talking about rushing over to another PMC spawn location and trying to get a cheeky kill. \n\n\nFirst off, this is an idea to play with once you already have a solid understanding of the map layout/extracts/loot/hot spots/etc. \n\n\nCustoms is a very linear map, at first glance it looks pretty open but there's a massive choke point at the train bridge near gas station (and the railroad north) that every player is required to cross if they want to use their guaranteed exfil location (ZB1011 or Customs area depending on spawn). This narrows down the number of routes that players will realistically take on their runs and leads to some pretty consistent player behavior. Basically everyone that spawns on the east is trying to get over to Customs/trailer park eventually, while PMCs that spawned in the west are trying to get to ZB-1011. Getting a feel of these patterns can make you better at whatever you're objective is for that run (avoiding fights or finding them). This isn't running away or towards gunfire, this is predicting where and when that gunfire is going to be before it happens. \n\n\nThis helps you make decisions about your movement to exploit these patterns, and make you more efficient in your navigation. It informs your risk matrix and lets you make more aggressive moves around the map instead of crab walking around looting duffle bags and listening for footsteps. It can turn rats into hyenas, and chads into wrecking balls. \n\n\nEarly Game (35 min-25ish min remaining): \nKnow your spawns, know where the most likely PMC spawns near you, engage or avoid based on preference. Dorms/Big Red / the cross between shipping yard and ZB-1011 area will be hot zones skirmishes breaking out. (Sub-Station can also be contentious at this point if the PMC that has the best dorms spawn chooses not to go there). If you're goal is to avoid early fights, you can rush to RUAF roadblock from the west spawns to farm the group of scavs and sniper. the east can stay in the warehouses or try to make an riskier play to military checkpoint. \n\n\nI tend to play the early game very passively. 35 minutes is a long time and I don't need to open 30 boxes if I can just shoot one guy instead. I'll grab hidden stashes as I slowly clear a zone, maybe kill a few scavs without making too much commotion, and listen for PMCs moving in my area for opportunistic early kills. \n\n\nMid Game (25-17ish minutes remaining): \nRemaining PMCs will most likely be near the middle of the map if they did not rush for an early exfil. Gas Station, Train bridge, and the woods east of dorms become high traffic areas. A great time to pick off geared players leaving dorms. Factory Shacks and construction can also be busy. A wave of player Scavs will enter the game around this time (some spawn much earlier but the majority of my scav runs drop me in during this window). They have their own tendencies but I'm not going to cover that here, just be aware that there will be some x-factors floating around in random locations. If you're ratting it up, you can look to clean up missed loot in the big red area or the far east warehouse with the weapon crates and key spawn with lower risk. Scav Checkpoint tends to be safer at this time to grab weapon parts and consumables. \n\n\nThis can either be the most boring part of your run or the most hectic. I feel pretty safe sprinting from the spawn areas to intermediate areas before the choke point. Sure you'll sometimes get bushwanked by someone who's slow playing, but we're working with probabilities and risk tolerance here. I look for long sightlines and vantage points into the middle of the map, this will be you best opportunity to engage geared PMCs leaving dorms (besides rushing into dorms of the break which is very high variance for an average player). Or if you're just ratting it up this will be your time to farm scavs in the spawn areas and clean up extra loot left behind. \n\n\nLate Game (17-10ish minutes remaining): \nTwo Words: Rat. Heaven. \nIf you arrive at dorms with 15 minutes remaining, the probability of walking in to an empty building full of rasha and his guard's corpses all half looted is hilariously high. You're not going to be grabbing any Beta 2s or bitcoins, but there is almost always abandoned AVS rigs, AK variants (attachments and all), Helmets (class 3/4), Commtacs, nades, magazines, ammo, meds, etc. The number of times I've walked out with 600k-1mil uncontested is shockingly high, especially given Custom's reputation of being a map with B or even C tier loot. If you bring Keys in, the chances of most if not all of the locked dorms aside from marked room seems to be about 70-80%. Even when arriving this late. Chads are mostly exfiled at this point, fights will be scattered and unpredictable but you'll still find people cleaning up bodies at gas station pretty often. \n\n\nI always go dorms in this timing window. An overwhelming majority of the time, I'm dealing with a couple AI or a player scav if not just walking into an empty building. If rashala was killed by the marked room rushers, you basically just punched your ticket. tetris it up and try to maximize profit per slot, listen for other rats looking for scraps. plan to leave when you've cleaned the place or there's about 10 minutes left giving you time to check gas station for late players or more loot. If the game flow doesn't allow you to get there, you can find kills near the extracts or on the map border while people try to scurry out \n\n\nSuper Late game (Less than 10 min remaining): \nThis is the part of the game that can take your good run to an amazing one, it can also be heartbreak o'clock. Most of the map will be picked through, but if you haven't made it to dorms and you have an exfil close to it it's worth checking. \n\n\nThe bread and butter of the super late game is trying to pick off the rats that are doing a lot of what I described above. Make-shit bridge and the pipe running from Gas station to Military checkpoint are great spots to ruin someone's raid and grab their perfectly organized bags of goodies. To a lesser extent, Land bridge south can have opportunities as well. \n\n\n \n\n\nI've ended putting in more of a step by step on how I like to play customs than intended, but the real point is to use player tendencies at certain timing windows to make decisions that fit your game plan. I know that fast players are often going to be leaving gas station heading west around 20-25 minutes remaining. I know I can happily sprint over to dorms at 12 min remaining and more often then not, my noise won't be exploited. This 'reckless' movement gives me more time to hit gas station after while still having time to exfil. At sub 8 minutes or so you're most likely dealing with at most 2-3 player scavs or PMCs in your half of the map and you can make moves much more aggressively and loot more greedily. Craft your strategy around these timings to make your runs more efficient, safer, or more action packed.\n\n \n\n\nTL;DR - Learn how players tend to move around the map along with the timing of WHEN they will most likely be in certain places to make better decisions.

Today's Key News: ['Most investors are aware of the potential for explosive returns with cryptocurrencies, but there’s another reason why they might deserve a home in your portfolio …\nToo much concentration in your portfolio can be dangerous.\nInvestors overly-concentrated in airline stocks have experienced this first-hand in the last two weeks.\nInvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips\nAs you likely know, the spread of coronavirus has global investors worried about the hit on profits for airlines. This has led to huge selling pressure on airline stocks.\nThe ETF “JETS” holds the biggest airlines in the world — Southwest, Delta, American, United, JetBlue, you name it.\nOver the prior two weeks, through Friday morning as I write, JETS has cratered 25% compared to the S&P’s 15% decline.\nEarlier this week in theDigest, we talked about the pain many investors feel when their portfolios are performing worse than the market. How would you like being down 67% more than the market right now?\nSo, how does an investor prevent this?\nYou’re probably already way ahead of me … Diversification.\nIn other words, you spread your wealth over a wide array of different assets. This is Investing 101.\nBut what might surprise you is which asset class has recently proven to be a powerful diversifier …\nCryptocurrencies.\nIf you’ve been following Matt McCall and his research in the crypto space, you know there’s a lot to be excited about today. After all, historical crypto performance suggests the upcoming halvening this spring could bring gains in the thousands of percent to bitcoin and elite altcoins.\nBut today, let’s look at a less-discussed reason to own some cryptocurrencies — their role as a diversifier in your portfolio.\nAs you’ll see, since the coronavirus reared its head roughly nine weeks ago, having some of your wealth in quality cryptocurrencies would have left you in far better shape than having your money 100% in the stock market … and this is true despite crypto’s increased volatility and recent pullback.\nToday, let’s jump into the details.\n*The crypto space isn’t just about moonshots\nAsk your average investor why anyone should own a cryptocurrency and the answer will likely boil down to one thing — a chance to hit a homerun and score an outrageous return, potentially, thousands of percent.\nThat’s true.\nTo illustrate, here’s Matt from his service,Ultimate Crypto, discussing the returns of bitcoin and various altcoins during past halvenings.\n(If you’re new to theDigestand aren’t sure what a halvening is, it’s a unique event in the crypto world in which bitcoin “miners” see their reward for mining new bitcoin cut in half. Huge gains have surrounded the past two halvening events.)\nReturning to Matt:\nLooking back over the last two halvenings, investing in specific altcoins would have made significantly more money.\nDuring the same period in which bitcoin climbed 4,500% surrounding the second halving, an altcoin called Einsteinium shot up over 580,000%. That’s 129 times the gains bitcoin made investors during its massive run. For perspective, that would have turned $5,000 into $29 million. Talk about a life-changing investment.\nIf that doesn’t excite you, try this: Another altcoin called verge shot up over 63,000%. That’s more than 630 times your investment!\nBut the potential for moonshot returns isn’t the only reason to own cryptos today. Let’s return to the lesser-known benefit of how cryptos can help diversify your portfolio.\nThe nuts and bolts of diversification\nWhen you have a diversified portfolio, you own different assets that respond to various market conditions in different ways. One zigs while another zags. In other words, you want assets that are uncorrelated — they don’t all rise or fall in unison.\nBack to Matt:\nThe current market environment highlights more reasons why cryptos should be part of a well-diversified portfolio. First, of course, is the potential to make a lot of money off them …\nSecond, cryptos’ performance is largely uncorrelated to the stock market. That means the sector doesn’t trade in sync with the market. It trades mostly on its own. Right now is a great example of what cryptos can add to a portfolio.\nSo, what is Matt talking about?\nWell, CIX100 is a basket of the 100 largest crypto-coins in the market. As of Matt’s issue that published on Tuesday, the CIX100 was up 16.4% over the prior 30 days. Over that same period, the S&P was down 5.25%.\nOne zigs, the other zags.\nIf we zero in on bitcoin specifically, comparing it to the S&P, we see another illustration of widely-variant returns.\nChinese authorities originally reported the first coronavirus case on December 31. Below, you’ll see bitcoin’s market performance compared to the S&P 500 since then.\nWhile the S&P is down 10%, bitcoin is up 20%.\nWe see the same correlation benefit (or “lack of correlation” benefit) if we look at smaller altcoins.\nIn Matt’sUltimate Cryptoportfolio, he currently holds six altcoins. As of his new issue on Tuesday, these coins were up an average of 32.8% in just seven weeks — and again, that’s while the S&P has been suffering.\nAs I look at Matt’s portfolio here on Friday morning, all the recommendations are still up, and I’m still specific gains of 94%, 31%, and 26%, among others.\nNow, let’s be clear about the point we’re making …\nA crypto skeptic will say “fine, cryptos may still be up, but they’ve pulled back substantially in the last few days.”\nThat’s absolutely true. And it’s a reason why any investor’s allocation to cryptocurrencies needs to be sensible, and in keeping with his/her risk profile.\nBut a few additional responses …\nOne, while it’s fantastic that Matt’s crypto recommendations are doing so well collectively, the point of today’sDigestis that they’re performingindependentlyof the broad stock market — again, the diversification element. The fact that cryptos have pulled back over the last week or so in no way diminishes this.\nTwo, volatility in the space should hardly be a surprise. That’s the nature of this asset class. Plus, by definition, you can’t separate downward volatility from upward volatility.\nIt’s funny how people tend to equate “volatility” with “falling prices.” But volatility simply refers to the variance of returns — so, there’s also “good, upward” volatility (which no one complains about) … and cryptos have had a lot of that so far in 2020.\nAs we noted in aDigestlast week, as of earlier in February when bitcoin was pushing 42% higher on the year, many altcoins were enjoying even bigger gains. At February highs, Bitcoin SV had popped 209% since the turn of the year. Bitcoin cash tacked on 113%, and dash added 195%. Meanwhile, crypto-favorites Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin tacked on 60%, 47%, and 78% respectively, as of earlier this month.\nIf we’re going to enjoy this type of upward volatility, we have to be prepared for the inevitable downward volatility too.\nThe homerun potential of altcoins\nEven though today’sDigestis intended to highlight the diversification benefit of cryptocurrencies, let’s end with a hat-tip to the primary reason we own them — the potential for outrageous returns.\nWhere do we stand today with that?\nBack to Matt:\nAll signs continue to point to higher crypto prices in the coming weeks and months, no matter what stocks do …\nPeople in the know are getting ready for the halvening that will occur in mid-May, just as we are. But most investors are still in the dark. As the buzz picks over up the next couple of months, there is a great chance that bitcoin will rally through its all-time high set in 2017. That would be a 100%+ gain from today’s prices.\nWhy am I talking about bitcoin when it is not even in our Ultimate Crypto portfolio? Well, as goes bitcoin, so go a lot of the altcoins. Bitcoin is up about 30% this year, when many altcoins are up more … and some up well into the triple digits.\nIf history repeats itself and bitcoin rallies into and through the halvening, smaller altcoins will do even better. That’s why we have six top-rated altcoins in the portfolio … and why they have outperformed bitcoin since the creation of the portfolio.\nMatt is so bullish on his altcoins that’s he raising his buy limits on several of them. You see, Matt’s initial recommendation timing was spot-on, so in the days following his recommendations, his altcoins blew past his buy-limit prices.\nBut given his continuing research in the space, Matt is bullish enough to up the buy-price for some of his coins. That, combined with this recent pullback, makes four of his coins actionable at the time of this writing. To learn more,click here.\nStepping back, the last few days in the market illustrates why a diversified portfolio is needed to help reduce portfolio drawdowns and soothe frayed nerves. And it turns out, the crypto world offers such a diversification benefit … on top of its homerun potential.\nIf you haven’t considered a small allocation to altcoins for your portfolio, give it a look.\nHave a good evening,\nJeff Remsburg\nThe postThe Surprising Benefit of Altcoinsappeared first onInvestorPlace.', 'Most investors are aware of the potential for explosive returns with cryptocurrencies, but there\x92s another reason why they might deserve a home in your portfolio \x85 Too much concentration in your portfolio can be dangerous.

The cryptocurrency started the month at $7,208, according to data by CoinMarketCap and finished the month yesterday on $9,395. That's a gain of more than 30%. That last time Bitcoin performed this well in the first month of the year was in 2013, where it saw a 54.50% rally. Looking back over other years, Bitcoin's January performance has been split equally between rises and falls. While 2013 was the currency's biggest gain, 2015 saw the coin's price drop 32% in one month, and in 2018, by 29%. But this year is different. In fact, Bitcoin's price came just short of beating its three month high of $9,488 recorded on November 4. So what's got the price heading in this direction? There have been several reasons. Earlier in the month, Bitcoin watchers pointed to the US's sudden drone strike against one of Iran's leading generals as the reason for Bitcoin's steady climb out of its low point of $6,597 recorded on December 17. Within hours of the attack, the price of Bitcoin (along with oil prices) shot up to $7,339. While traditional assets like oil and gold see price rises during periods of uncertainty, Bitcoin has been historically less predictable when it comes to similar geopolitical events. Instead, several industry leaders—including e-Toro’s Mati Greenspan and Matthew Graham of Sino Global Capital—believe the currency’s price is growing because Iranians are buying up Bitcoin as the political environment heats up. But within a week, theprice of bitcoin had cooled. Next, Bitcoin watchers looked to the Chinese New Year as another cause of the coin's continued rise. But historically, the opposite has been true. Chinese New Year often falls at the same time as a price dump and increased market volatility. The reason, according to some, lies with the tradition of Hóngbāo, which roughly translates to "red package." Every year, millions of red envelopes containing cash are given out as gifts to friends and families. Bitcoin hodlers could, in theory, exchange their Bitcoin for cash for the occasion. Such a sustained sell-off could be sufficient to change the dynamics of supply and demand such that supply outstrips demand, causing Bitcoin prices to tumble as exchange volume drops. But the opposite was true. Across the period, there wasn't the big sell-off like there had been in previous years. Some have suggested theCorona Virushas hampered people's ability to spend time with family. The last and possibly the most plausible reason for Bitcoin's stellar January is the Halvening. In May of this year, the reward for mining a block on the Bitcoin network will half from its current 12.5 BTC to just 6.25 BTC per block. Some believe this reduction in the number of Bitcoin being produced will cause the price to go up. Some have suggested in anticipation of the event, the price has startled to tick upwards.Tyler and Cameron Winklevossspoke confidently about the Halvening being "big for Bitcoin". But like anything crypto, for every opinion, there is an equal and opposite one saying something completely different. Crypto luminaries like Meltem Demirors have argued that as the event is known and predictable meaning the price is unlikely to rise in response.

I was curious about just how widespread this belief is: “Tech bubble” has doubled on Google Trends this year alone; Google News generates more than 3.6 million hits for the phrase.(1) Defining a bubble isn't too hard and one will do as good as another. “A market phenomenon characterized by surges in asset prices to levels significantly above the fundamental value of that asset. Bubbles are often hard to detect in real time because there is disagreement over the fundamental value of the asset,” Nasdaq says. So let's turn to the pro-bubble argument: It has been a decade since the financial crisis and two decades since the dot-com implosion. That's enough time for people to have forgotten the trauma of that disaster. Since the Great Recession ended, there has been too much capital sloshing around, leading to excessive tech valuations. And not just in public equities, but in private markets, too. Unicorns and other SoftBank Vision Fund debacles have imploded, an early warning sign for publicly traded companies, the argument goes. Central banks have made the bubble worse, providing cheap capital that has artificially inflated profits. The bubble advocates also urge us not to overlook the impact of these low borrowing costs on the surge in share buybacks; reducing the total amount of a public company’s shares outstanding has the effect of making earnings per share look better. Then there are the anecdotes: Tesla’s stock has more than doubled in the past three months, and the company now has a market value of more than $165 billion -- higher than Volkswagen, General Motors and Ford combined. This is to say nothing of the companies valued at more than $1 trillion, such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google parent Alphabet. But let's also be generous and acknowledge that some things do look overvalued, whether it's Bitcoin (maybe), WeWork (obviously) or Tesla (I'm not getting in the middle of that one). Story continues But here's the thing: None of that is proof of a stock-market bubble. Let's look at some themes and issues to demonstrate why this is so: Business models: In the 1990s, the internet captivated the collective imagination of investors, too many of whom indiscriminately threw cash at anything with dot-com attached to it. The 2000 collapse taught investors that it took more than a high-concept idea to make a stock worth buying: growth and future cash flow matter a lot, too. The collapse of WeWork’s initial public offering last year brought this home once again. Investors realized that renting out office space short term while locking the company into long-term, expensive real-estate leases was a terrible business model. Public investors grasped this flaw -- something private investors seemingly failed to understand -- and the market worked the way it's supposed to. Revenue and earnings: Unlike the dot-coms of the '90, today's tech businesses are gigantic cash machines. Apple posted fourth-quarter revenue of $91.8 billion and net income of $22.2 billion. Without much fanfare, Microsoft's revenue grew 14% in the latest quarter, to $36.9 billion, while net income surged 38% to $11.6 billion. Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook all continue to mint revenues and profits. These companies also have accumulated hundreds of billions of dollars in cash. This is not the profitless tech boom of the 1990s. Sentiment: Maybe there is some excessive optimism. But that isn't the same as the full-blown delusion that bubbles produce. Talk of bubbles is offset by chatter about recession: Remember that less a year ago investors were anticipating a downturn and in the fourth quarter of 2018 major market indexes fell 20%, meeting the normal definition of a bear market, however brief. Meanwhile, the American Association of Individual Investors Bullish Readings index is 40.6, which is just a hair above the average reading of 39.5 for the past 25 years. Performance: Broad market performance is robust, but not crazy. Last’s year's 31% gain in the S&P 500 is misleading: most of that simply reflected the rebound from the 2018 fourth-quarter tumble cited above. So let's take a step back and consider the S&P 500 since 2015: It has had annual gains of 11.8%, for a total cumulative five-year return of 75%. Before fintwits howl “Now do the Nasdaq,” here it is: 17.6% annually and cumulative total returns of 125%. Fine, good, but not bubble material. Now compare those figures with the five years before the market peaked in March 2000: The Nasdaq generated annual returns of 60% and a five-year total return of 946% during that period, while the S&P 500 gained 25% annually and 211% for the five years. This is obvious, right? Sure, there are pockets of excessive optimism and foolishness in markets. There always are. But there also are lots of companies that are not participating in this bull-market rally. Those who were around in the 1990s know what a real bubble looks like: This isn't it.

Today's Key News: ['NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2020 / In just the first month of 2020, stablecoins are demonstrating their relevance and strength in the rapidly fluctuating blockchain industry. On January 12, STAE launched decentralized stablecoins USDB and CNHB collateralized by either ETH or BTC. They can be tied to either the USD or the CNH(Chinese Yuan in Hongkong) by the minter. These stablecoins are finding immediate use in online gaming platforms and other mobile payment scenarios. Later in January, Tether Gold was launched, a stablecoin backed by physical gold reserves held in Sweden. Almost at the same time, Bytom Blockchain also has announced plans in a white paper for a decentralized stablecoin which is similar as STAE\'s products on infrastructure. Second, the end of January it was said JP Morgan\'s own blockchain unit Quorum is merging with Ethereum software developer ConsenSys, a deal expected to finalize in the third quarter this year. Industry insiders speculate that this merger is for the next development of the previously launched JPM Coin. Facebook\'s ambitious Libra project, IBM, Busan Bank, Rizal Commercial Bank, and a handful of other companies signed a letter of intent to issue a stablecoin using the IBM payment network. These developments are the latest examples of IBM, Facebook, and other traditional industries choosing stablecoins as their entry point into the blockchain industry. Following this trend, central banks around the world are planning the launch of their own stablecoins. Reuters reports that the French central bank has announced their own project to be launched in the first quarter this year and has urged the European Central Bank to issue digital currencies as soon as possible. It is also anticipated that China will launch DCEP later this year, a combination of digital currencies and electronic payment instruments to replace cash in certain payment scenarios. Blockdata\'s 2019 report titled "An Overview of the Current State of Stablecoins" surveyed 226 stablecoin projects, 66 of which were launched, and 134 being under development, and 26 closed projects. Story continues Although there is no consensus on how these surviving projects will fare, there seems to be a consensus that there are simply too many stablecoins. The Two Paths While stablecoins have certainly seen use within cryptocurrency exchanges, there is no clear path for mainstream adoption yet. A notable exception is STAE, which recently launched two decentralized stablecoins tied to the USD and the CNH(Chinese Yuan in Hongkong). Grant Baker, Chief Innovation Officer at STAE and author of the 2019 Blockchain Compliance Paper , believes that anti money laundering rules make it difficult for stablecoins to replace fiat in day-to-day life. "While stablecoins provide shelter for cryptocurrency investors during times of turbulence, they haven\'t seen much usage elsewhere. We anticipate this will change when Singapore begins issuing licenses and regulating stablecoin issuers this year. Decentralized stablecoins will likely be a very practical application of blockchain and that\'s what we\'re focusing on." The philosophy of practical application seems to be working. Already, STAE has forged partnerships with Southeast Asia\'s top two online gaming companies. During the 2 nd quarter of this year, more than a thousand online gaming applications will accept STAE\'s stablecoins USDB and CNHB, tied to the USD and CNH(Chinese Yuan in Hongkong) respectively. STAE is also looking at key Southeast Asian markets such as tourism. Blockchain professionals have commented that the decision of stablecoins projects to emulate fiat currency instead of precious commodities such as gold has been a successful move, if adoption is any indication. Competing Stablecoin Issuance Stablecoin issuance is usually backed by real assets such as cash or gold held by a central issuer or collateralized by digital assets with no central issuer. USDT is a dominant player in this market, making up roughly 80% of market share. However, there have been recent controversies regarding the veracity of claims regarding the real assets held by issuers. For example, Tether, USDT\'s issuer, encountered a crisis of trust in October 2018 causing a 15% price plummet. In April 2019, the New York Attorney General\'s Office accused the Bitfinex platform of misappropriating $850 million of Tether\'s reserve funds to fill funding gaps, creating an epic blame game between Tether and the Bitfinex parent company iFinex. Despite making a big splash initially, decentralized stablecoins backed by digital assets have faded from popularity over the past year, but that trend may be reversing thanks to the increased emphasis on trust. MakerDao\'s single asset collateral model and STAE\'s multi-asset collateral model, due to the smart contract\'s automated payouts and USDT\'s trust issues, are gaining momentum in the blockchain industry. A Threat to Stablecoins? The term "License" is the dread in the back of the mind of every stablecoin project. With the rising influence and scale of stablecoins, governments and international organizations are giving stablecoins extra scrutiny, casting a long shadow over the attempts of stablecoin projects to integrate with traditional banking infrastructure. The International Monetary Fund released a paper in 2019 called "The Rise of Digital Money" , calling for the supervision of stablecoins over money laundering and terror financing concerns. Compliance has quickly become the foremost concern of stablecoin projects. Singapore\'s Payment Services Act came into force in January 2020, bringing many blockchain projects seeking legal legitimacy to the application line in the small island nation. The Payment Services Act strictly follows the anti-money laundering recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force. The prevailing expectation is that stablecoins legitimized by a globally recognized licensing system will flourish. Reliable issuers, auditing systems, and mature regulatory frameworks are all indispensable to this end.

Jared Maples, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness Director, has said domestic terror groups are likely to ramp up their use of the cryptocurrency to fund their nefarious activities. He was joined by Anti-Defamation League Senior Vice President George Selim and Congressional Research Service finance expert Rena Miller. The trio predicted that with the rise of crypto awareness, it will become more widely used by white supremacists and other hate groups. Infamous crypto sceptic Congressman Brad Sherman was in agreement, saying : “If it works for Hamas, it will work for the Nazis too.” BTC use on the rise Maples likewise referenced Hamas and suggested domestic terrorists had taken a page out of its playbook in using Bitcoin for both secrecy and privacy. He alleged there had been a $60,000 donation in BTC given to Andrew Anglin, publisher of far-right media outlet The Daily Stormer, following the attack in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. When asked about how to counter terror groups, Maples said it was important to be mindful and to “get the processes right”. Interestingly, it isn’t just Bitcoin they are using to finance their attacks. Recent reports suggest as many as 54 white supremacist groups are utilising Apple’s iTunes, earning roughly 70 cents for each song downloaded on the music platform. Selim has recommended agencies pursue more rigorous prosecutions of domestic terror funding sources and utilise data from various fields such as finance, technology, civil rights, and civil liberties groups alongside studying new forms of money such as digital currencies.

A former contractor for the U.S. and adviser to governments and indigenous peoples concerning disruptive technologies for the legal sector, he has advised blockchain companies in Asia.\nIn the heyday of cryptomania, when everyone was investing in any idea that had the word “blockchain” attached to it, there was much speculation about the end of the state. Distributed ledger technology would not only bring about the demise of intermediaries like big technology platforms and overfed financial institutions, but it would also challenge the primacy of the sovereign state itself. Decentralization would mean that the democratic process could be more horizontal, more responsive, more direct and more efficient.\nBlockchain technologies and the cryptocurrencies built thereon were also set to challenge the monopoly that states have maintained on currency. Traditionally, the creation, printing and control of legal tender has been an activity strictly reserved for states. The development of state-sanctioned, sovereign-backed cryptocurrencies, however, have meant that the state is not out yet.

On Oct. 24, 2019, a day now called “China Blockchain Day,” President Xi Jinping announced his country’s blockchain strategy and the rollout of its new state-sanctioned cryptocurrency project. While many major financial leaders feared being the first movers, China studied blockchain for years while outlawing cryptocurrencies. Again and again, China banned Initial Coin Offerings and cryptocurrency exchanges. The country’s law enforcement authorities even deterred Chinese hotels from hosting crypto-oriented conferences.\nWhen Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg warned Congress it had better support the social media company get its Libra digital currency to market lest China get a head start, the bureaucrats in China moved into high gear. Within months, they launched the DC/EP plan with initial testing in Suzhou and Shenzhen. The system’s strength is its interoperability and the fact one does not have to be online to use it. That it is linked to the Chinese national currency – theyuanorrenminbi– does not hurt either. By layering insurance, health care, finance, energy and consumer purchasing into one unified public blockchain, there will be economies of scale and more efficient distribution of private and public goods. And not just in China but around the world with the 71 partners in its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative.\nLong before the DC/EP came the Marshallese sovereign (SOV), the national digital curren Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [7344.88, 7410.66, 7411.32, 7769.22, 8163.69, 8079.86, 7879.07, 8166.55, 8037.54, 8192.49, 8144.19, 8827.76, 8807.01, 8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24, 10326.05, 10214.38, 10312.12, 9889.42, 9934.43, 9690.14, 10142.00, 9633.39, 9608.48, 9686.44, 9663.18, 9924.52, 9650.17, 9341.71, 8820.52, 8784.49, 8672.46, 8599.51, 8562.45, 8869.67] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The coronavirus outbreak had forced many businesses across the country toextendthe Chinese New York holiday since the end of January.\nShenzhen-based MicroBT, maker of the WhatsMiner, said it has gradually resumed business and shipments since mid-February, and noted that more mining farm locations are accessible than a month ago.\nSimilarly, Beijing-based Bitmain has also restarted domestic and overseas shipments since late February.

The third halving in the cryptocurrency’s 11-year history will reduce the amount of new bitcoin added to the network with each block (every 10 minutes or so) from 12.5 to 6.25.\nRelated:Riot Blockchain Plans Sale of Crypto Exchange as It Invests More Millions in Bitcoin Mining\nAdding to the competition, Hangzhou-based Canaan Creative alsoannouncedthe launch of its latest Avalon 1066 Pro model on Feb. 28, boasting a computing power of 50 terahashes per second (TH/s). The firm has also gradually resumed businesses since mid-February.\nHowever, to be sure, this does not mean these mining equipment manufacturers have fully resumed to the same production and delivery capacity as it was prior to the virus outbreak.\nCharles Chao Yu, chief operating officer of F2pool, said manufacturers’ production and logistic capacity have not yet fully recovered. “There are still many farm locations that won’t allow in maintenance teams,” he said.\nAnd as major manufacturers have already launched more powerful new equipment like Bitmain’s AntMiner S19 and MicroBT’s WhatsMiner M30, “they won’t place a lot of new chip orders for older models,” Yu said. “As such, there won’t be too many additional AntMiner S17 or WhatsMiner M20 series hitting the market.”\nYu expects bitcoin’s hash rate may go up to at most 130 EH/s in the next two months before bitcoin’s halving, which would be another roughly 10 percent jump from now.\nF2pool’s global business director Thomas Heller shares the same expectation that bitcoin’s hash rate will likely remain around 120 – 130 EH/s before May.\n“It’s unlikely to see large scale deployment of M30S and S19 machines before June/July,” Heller said. “It’s also yet to be seen how the impact of COVID-19 in South Korea will impact the supply chain of WhatsMiner’s new machines, as they get the chips from Samsung, whereas Bitmain gets chips from TSMC in Taiwan.”\nHe said the coronavirus outbreak has already disrupted many large farms’ plan to scale up facilities before the Chinese New Year. As such, they are now taking a more cautious approach leading to May.\n“Many large Chinese miners in January were of the viewpoint that they would want to get their machines running before the Chinese New Year.” Heller said, “And if they couldn’t get the machines running by then, they would wait to see how the halving plays out.”\nWhile the growth rate of hashing power may appear anemic, it nonetheless implies that about 5 EH/s in computing power has plugged into the bitcoin network over the past week.\nBTC.com’s data shows bitcoin’s 14-day average hash rate reached 110 EH/s for the first time on Jan. 28 but generally stayed at that level for the next four weeks even though bitcoin’s price enjoyed a short-term jump during that period.\nBased on quotes for various mining equipment posted by several distributors on WeChat seen by CoinDesk, most of the latest and more powerful machines made by Chinese manufacturers are priced between $20 to $30 per terahash.\nThat could mean additional computing power worth $100 million has come online in the past week, even using the lower end of that range. (one exahash = one million terahashes)\nThe mining activity growth also comes as the coronavirus situation in China has improved compared to late January, although overall economic activity has not yet fully returned to its level prior to the outbreak.\nAccording to areportfrom news outlet Caixin, as of Monday, 19 Chinese provinces, including Zhejiang and Guangdong, where Canaan and MicroBT, respectively, are based, have lowered the emergency response level from Level One (very significant) to Level Two (significant).\nMeanwhile, big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are maintaining the response level at “very significant” but more companies have gradually returned to business in the last two weeks.\n• Bitcoin Mining Unit Manufacturer MicroBT Nibbles at Bitmain’s Market Share\n• Iran Concerns May Be Driving Trump Administration’s Talk of New Crypto Rules', 'The computer processing power of the bitcoin network is growing again – albeit slowly – as major Chinese miner manufacturers gradually resume business after the coronavirus outbreak delayed shipments.\nThe average hashing power onbitcoin(BTC) over the past seven days has reached a new high of around 117.5 exahashes per second (EH/s), up 5.4 percent from where itstagnatedfor a month beginning Jan. 28, according to data fromPoolIn, which, along side with F2pool, are currently the two largest bitcoin mining pools.\nData from BTC.com further estimates bitcoin’s mining difficulty, a measure of competitiveness in the field, will increase by 2.15 percent when it adjusts itself in about five days thanks to the increased hashing power in the current period.\nRelated:World’s Top Crypto Miners Race to Roll Out Top-of-Line Machines Ahead of Bitcoin Halving\nThe growth comes as major Chinese miner manufacturers have gradually resumed shipments over the past one to two weeks.

But as John Maynard Keynes put it, “The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” The road to having bitcoin understood and viewed as a safe haven is a long one, demanding deep investment in education.

In an area that was synonymous with generating a lot of headlines around cryptocurrency speculation, this was a shift in focus, looking instead at the architecture behind Bitcoin, Ethereum and the rest, and how it could be used for more than just "mining," distributing and using new financial instruments -- with a major, mainstream VC backing the idea, no less. Dfinity launched with a very lofty goal: to build what it called the Internet Computer: a decentralized and non-proprietary network to run the next generation of mega-applications. It dubbed this public network Cloud 3.0. Now, it looks like this Cloud is now about to break. In Davos this week, Dfinity launched the Bronze edition of its Internet Computer, a limited release that takes the startup one step closer to its full commercial release, expected later this year. And to prove out the concept of how an application would run on its new network, Dfinity today demonstrated an open social network called LinkedUp. The startup has rather cheekily called this an open version of LinkedIn, the Microsoft-owned social network for professionals. Unlike LinkedIn, LinkedUp, which runs on any browser, is not owned or controlled by a corporate entity. LinkedUp is built on Dfinitys so-called Internet Computer, its name for the platform it is building to distribute the next generation of software and open internet services. The software is hosted directly on the internet on a Switzerland-based independent data center, but in the concept of the Internet Computer, it could be hosted at your house or mine: the compute power to run the application -- LinkedUp, in this case -- is coming not from Amazon AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure, but is instead based on the distributed architecture that Dfinity is building. Story continues Specifically, Dfinity notes that when enterprises and developers run their web apps and enterprise systems on the Internet Computer, the content is decentralized across a minimum of four or a maximum of an unlimited number of nodes in Dfinity's global network of independent data centers. And while the company initially was described as a blockchain-based system, that's also had some refinement. A spokesperson describes the Internet Computer as a "next-generation distributed computing system similar to its Mainframe, Client Server, and Public Cloud predecessors" that is based on cryptography. "While DFINITY is not building a traditional blockchain/smart contract platform, it uses advanced cryptography in its consensus layer [of the Internet Computer stack] to ensure apps and workloads have the same security guarantees as Bitcoin or Ethereum," the spokesperson added, "but its network of independent data centers ensures the speed and scale required by corporates and entrepreneurs." The Internet Computer also has governance tokens to ensure the ownership of the technology is distributed, he said. LinkedUp is a test case for all of this, and so Dfinity is open-sourcing LinkedUp for developers to create other types of open internet services on the structure it has built. This "open social network for professional profiles" suggests that, on Dfinitys model, one could create an "Open WhatsApp," "Open eBay," "Open Salesforce" or "Open Facebook." (Good news, since LinkedIn might not be so happy about a lookalike service with a name and layout that also looks very familiar, were it to go much further as a commercial endeavor. "While we cant comment specifically on any proposed trademark, LinkedIn does monitor and take action as necessary to protect our trademarks," a spokesperson said.) Big tech has hijacked the internet and stifled innovation by owning the proprietary infrastructure and user relationships,'' said Dominic Williams, founder and chief scientist at Dfinity in a statement. As a result, a handful of for-profit companies have created a monopolistic and closed internet. The Internet Computer provides a means to rebuild internet services in open form." So perhaps what we should be calling this is not LinkedUp, but more a new sort of Linux for the cloud. Dfinity claims the application was built by 1.5 engineers in three weeks," thus demonstrating how easy the infrastructure is to use. The tools include a Canister Software Developer Kit and a simple programming language called Motoko that is optimized for Dfinitys Internet Computer. "The Internet Computer is conceived as an alternative to the $3.8 trillion legacy IT stack, and empowers the next generation of developers to build a new breed of tamper-proof enterprise software systems and open internet services. We are democratizing software development," Williams said. "The Bronze release of the Internet Computer provides developers and enterprises a glimpse into the infinite possibilities of building on the Internet Computer which also reflects the strength of the Dfinity team we have built so far. Dfinity says its Internet Computer Protocol allows for a new type of software called autonomous software, which can guarantee permanent APIs that cannot be revoked. When all these open internet services (e.g. open versions of WhatsApp, Facebook, eBay, Salesforce, etc.) are combined with other open software and services it creates mutual network effects where everyone benefits. We quizzed Dfinity a little more on all this and asked whether this was an actual launch. A spokesperson told us: Since our first major milestone of launching a terminal-based SDK and new programming language called Motoko by the co-creator of WebAssembly on 1 November, DFINITY has released 13 new public versions of the SDK, to our second major milestone [at WEF Davos] of demoing a decentralized web app called LinkedUp on the Internet Computer running on an independent data center in Switzerland. Subsequent milestones towards the public launch of the Internet Computer will involve (1) on-boarding a global network of independent data centers, (2) fully tested economic system, and (3) fully tested Network Nervous Systems for configuration and upgrades.

However, a new sector report by Edison Investment Research highlights a concerted surge in investment by major players across many sectors, fuelled by improving security and scalability as well as evolving regulation. From 2020 onwards, Edison expects DLT adoption to accelerate. Which means the technology is likely to finally deliver against its early promise to disrupt the financial services industry.New asset classes are likely to emerge in relatively short timeframes. Download the full report here Blockchain supports a new asset class As well as supporting the emergence of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, DLT can be used to tokeniseother assets - such as shares and real estate - as well as create new assets that are digital representations of traditional securities. Until now, investment in digital assets has been a mainly retail phenomenon.But with the introduction of new regulations and start-ups professionalising their operations, institutions are making their move. Potential to disrupt existing processes DLT has the potential to replace many processes in the financial sector, including clearance, settlement, trade finance and data management. Whilst it has the benefit of reducing back-office costs and improving transaction speeds, DLTmay also reduce income streams from intermediary roles. As a partial balance, Edison sees new opportunities for services which certify the accuracy of data before entering the blockchain - as well as subsequent monitoringto keep the real assets underlying the tokens safe. Story continues Early-stage market; incumbents starting to enter The tokenisation of assets remains at an early stage, with most projects taking the form of pilots orsmall-scale trials. However, traditional financial services businesses are starting to enter the market, alongside a plethora of start-ups. Edison now expects a gradual transition to the use of blockchain, starting with use cases that have the strongest commercial rationales. Ultimately, we expect to see a shift towards asset tokenisation across a number of asset classes including non-listed equity, debt with small issue volumes and real estate. Strong interest from central banks in issuingdigital currencies further supports our belief that a tipping point has been reached in the institutional adoption of blockchain. Longer term, blockchain will reshape the industry At this early stage, we expect to see more partnerships between traditional financial institutions and digital asset specialists, and longer term we would expect to see incumbents acquiring the startups to access expertise and regulated businesses. Milosz Papst author of the report, said: "Blockchain technology is no longer just about cryptocurrency. As the sector surrounding the technology continues to evolve, new applications will continue to emerge. Investors can expect to see the financial services industry revolutionized as companies incorporate the technology into many parts of their operations. But this is still very much a new frontier, and only time will tell what the landscape will look like in a few decades time. If this were the internet's development, the year would be 1996."

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 rose by 1.00% on Friday. Following on from a 3.44% rally on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,180.6. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $9,011.3 before finding support. Steering clear of the first major support level at $8,857.43, Bitcoin rallied to a late morning intraday high $9,199.70. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,255.33, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$9,100 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin bounced back to close out the day in positive territory. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin struggling to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the crypto majors. Ethereum led the way, rallying by 7.42%. Binance Coin (+2.99%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.42%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.60%), Litecoin (+2.09%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.43%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.78%), Tezos (+3.03%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.41%) also saw solid gains. Cardan’s ADA (+1.34%), EOS (+1.92%), and Monero’s XMR (+0.72%) trailed the pack. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Friday high $263.56bn from a Monday low $243.1. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $263.18bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back from 64% levels in the week as the broader market found support. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.2%. Trading volumes hit an early Tuesday high $187.15bn before falling back to sub-$130bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $137.34bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.62% to $9,124.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,183.6 to a low $9,121.8. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC and Monero’s XMR bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.30% and by 0.64% respectively. Tezos and Binance Coin led the way down early on, with losses of 1.89% and 1.55% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to steer clear of sub-$9,130 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,249.77. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $9,199.7. Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $9,200 would likely limit any upside on the day once more. In the event of a breakout, expect the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and second major resistance level at $9,318.93 to come into play. Failure to hold above $9,130 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red A fall back through the morning low $9,121.8 would bring the first major support level at $9,061.37 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,000 levels on the day.

Following on from a 3.44% rally on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,180.6. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $9,011.3 before finding support. Steering clear of the first major support level at $8,857.43, Bitcoin rallied to a late morning intraday high $9,199.70. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,255.33, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$9,100 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin bounced back to close out the day in positive territory. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin struggling to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the crypto majors. Ethereum led the way, rallying by 7.42%. Binance Coin (+2.99%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.42%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.60%), Litecoin (+2.09%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.43%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.78%), Tezos (+3.03%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.41%) also saw solid gains. Cardan’s ADA (+1.34%), EOS (+1.92%), and Monero’s XMR (+0.72%) trailed the pack. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Friday high $263.56bn from a Monday low $243.1. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $263.18bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back from 64% levels in the week as the broader market found support. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.2%. Trading volumes hit an early Tuesday high $187.15bn before falling back to sub-$130bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $137.34bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.62% to $9,124.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,183.6 to a low $9,121.8. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC and Monero’s XMR bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.30% and by 0.64% respectively. Tezos and Binance Coin led the way down early on, with losses of 1.89% and 1.55% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to steer clear of sub-$9,130 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,249.77. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $9,199.7. Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $9,200 would likely limit any upside on the day once more. In the event of a breakout, expect the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and second major resistance level at $9,318.93 to come into play. Failure to hold above $9,130 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red A fall back through the morning low $9,121.8 would bring the first major support level at $9,061.37 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,000 levels on the day.

She formerly worked on blockchain with EY India and was a fellow on cryptocurrency regulation at the New America Foundation. Industry watchers cheered on March 6 when the Supreme Court of India struck down the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) ban on financial institutions providing banking services to cryptocurrency businesses. However, embedded in the text of the judgment are multiple red flags. In addition, a draft bill to ban cryptocurrencies, released on Feb. 28, 2019, could still move through Parliament. As analyzed by me previously, taken together, red flags in the court victory and the possibility of legislation moving forward mean that crypto’s legal status in India remains vulnerable. The fine print Related: Bitcoin, Bonds and Gold: Why Markets Are Upended in a Time of Fear A review of the 180-page judgment reveals the premises of the verdict are not in alignment with what the industry has assumed. In essence, the entire verdict hinges on the violation of one of the fundamental rights of the Indian constitution – Article 19 (1) (g), which guarantees the freedom to practice any profession. The Supreme Court concluded the RBI’s measure violated Article 19 (1) (g) for virtual currency exchanges, and that the prohibition measure was not proportional to the threat. The verdict also concluded the central bank had not substantiated the threat with empirical data or credibly examined alternative measures. However, one of the reasons the Supreme Court supported the industry was because there was “no law banning virtual currencies yet,” which implies the verdict would not stand once there is such a law. The court also referred to cryptocurrencies as a “by-product” of blockchain technology and said the government could separate the two. This refrain of segregating blockchain and crypto has been the premise behind most federal policy to date. Story continues Related: tZero-Affiliated Firm Hopes SEC Will Pass Updated Proposal for Security Token Platform In a detailed post-verdict analysis , I go over specific excerpts of the judgment, examine other red flags and discuss immediate possible reactions to the verdict. The industry has won a hard-fought battle, and we can expect to not see a similar reactive prohibition again. However, the clock is ticking on the response of the legislative branch, which could move soon to enact legislation. The central bank, however, can only move a successful appeal if it amasses credible evidence of a monetary risk from cryptocurrencies. Positive signals Outside the realm of financial regulators and legislators there have been many government voices speaking up for a more progressive approach to blockchain in India.

In addition, BCH is up close to 2% in the past 24 hours. Since the start of the new year, the price of BCH has risen $179 from about $190 to $369. In essence, BCH has grown nearly 100% since January 1, but it’s still well below its 2019 summer high. Will BCH start pushing higher again thanks to recent developments ? And if so, what are the next levels of support to look out for? Let’s take a look at the chart for Bitcoin Cash, courtesy of TradingView . Bitcoin Cash is showing extremely positive signs. Not only did the altcoin rebound spectacularly after last week’s downturn, but key levels are also being respected. BCH is also making strong gains against the market’s number-one cryptocurrency Bitcoin, as discussed yesterday . Bitcoin Cash had been falling since late September after it lost close to 50% in value in just a few days. After a swift recovery during November, the altcoin came crashing back down well below the 20-day EMA. Nevertheless, during December 2019, the market started to rebound. BCH has now crossed all its EMAs and has found support way above the 200-day EMA. As discussed last week , the next big resistance levels are virtually non-existent, so we could see Bitcoin Cash pumping towards $400 soon. Afterwards, we might see some resistance between $415 and $450. It all depends on the seriousness of buyers. In terms of volume, Bitcoin Cash is sitting at just above $3.8 billion – a little over half of early January’s volume. Perhaps it is too early to proclaim victory since volume is free falling. Next week, we’ll surely have more certainties regarding the upcoming altcoin season . Safe trades! BCH fundamentals I recently spoke with Bitcoin Cash’s strongest advocate, Roger Ver , and discussed the most recent developments on the horizon for BCH. You can find all the details here , but the most juicy news seems to be the recent spike in adoption due to the implementation of smart contracts. Story continues Roger, like myself, believes key components for mass adoption are speed and flexibility. What Bitcoin Cash Oracles offers is a way for any user to easily deploy an “escrow” transaction that can be used to trade globally – without the hassle of trusting the other party. I personally think these “trade escrows” will be key in terms of adoption, especially for work-related tasks. In a way, they do enable milestone-based funding, which may be the new and better way of conducting ICOs instead of simply creating an extra layer of complexity with STOs that require KYC and accreditation – something that goes against what we should be promoting within the crypto ecosystem. Current live BCH pricing information and interactive charts are available on our site 24 hours a day. The ticker bar at the bottom of every page on our site has the latest BCH price. Pricing is also available in a range of different currency equivalents: US Dollar – BCHtoUSD British Pound Sterling – BCHtoGBP Japanese Yen – BCHtoJPY Euro – BCHtoEUR Australian Dollar – BCHtoAUD Russian Rouble – BCHtoRUB Bitcoin – BCHtoBTC About Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin Cash was born out of the idea of making Bitcoin more practical for small, day-to-day payments. In May 2017, Bitcoin payments took about four days unless a fee was paid, which was proportionately too large for small transactions. A change to the code was implemented and Bitcoin Cash was born on 1st August 2017.

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 fell by 2.85% on Saturday. Reversing a 1.00% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,919.0. Range-bound through the morning, Bitcoin rose to an afternoon intraday high $9,241.5 before hitting reverse. Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $9,249.77, Bitcoin slid to a late afternoon intraday low $8,867.4. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $9,061.37 and the second major support level at $8,942.13. Late on, Bitcoin briefly broke back through the second major support level before wrapping up the day at sub-$8,920 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin struggling to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV, Tezos, and Tron’s TRX led the way down, with losses of 6.78%, 6.06%, and 7.37% respectively. Binance Coin (-5.14%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-5.60%), Cardano’s ADA (-5.93%), EOS (-5.13%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-5.10%) also saw heavy losses. Ethereum (-3.17%), Litecoin (-4.40%), Monero’s XMR (-4.76%), and Ripple’s XRP (-3.54%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to from a Monday low $243.1bn to a Saturday high $264.66bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $251.05bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back from 64% levels in the week as the broader market found support. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.6%, the upside coming from the Saturday sell-off. Trading volumes hit an early Tuesday high $187.15bn before falling back to sub-$130bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $135.19bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.78% to $8,760.1. Another bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $8,919.0 to a low $8,750.0. Story continues Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $8,777.10 early on in the day. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. Binance Coin and Tezos led the way down with losses of 4.31% and 4.65% respectively. EOS and Ripple’s XRP saw relatively modest losses of 1.21% and 1.95% at the time of writing. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to break back through the first major support level and move through to $9,000 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,151.2. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,000 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $9,000 would likely limit any upside on the day once more.

Reversing a 1.00% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,919.0. Range-bound through the morning, Bitcoin rose to an afternoon intraday high $9,241.5 before hitting reverse. Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $9,249.77, Bitcoin slid to a late afternoon intraday low $8,867.4. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $9,061.37 and the second major support level at $8,942.13. Late on, Bitcoin briefly broke back through the second major support level before wrapping up the day at sub-$8,920 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin struggling to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV, Tezos, and Tron’s TRX led the way down, with losses of 6.78%, 6.06%, and 7.37% respectively. Binance Coin (-5.14%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-5.60%), Cardano’s ADA (-5.93%), EOS (-5.13%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-5.10%) also saw heavy losses. Ethereum (-3.17%), Litecoin (-4.40%), Monero’s XMR (-4.76%), and Ripple’s XRP (-3.54%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to from a Monday low $243.1bn to a Saturday high $264.66bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $251.05bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back from 64% levels in the week as the broader market found support. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.6%, the upside coming from the Saturday sell-off. Trading volumes hit an early Tuesday high $187.15bn before falling back to sub-$130bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $135.19bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.78% to $8,760.1. Another bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $8,919.0 to a low $8,750.0. Story continues Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $8,777.10 early on in the day. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. Binance Coin and Tezos led the way down with losses of 4.31% and 4.65% respectively. EOS and Ripple’s XRP saw relatively modest losses of 1.21% and 1.95% at the time of writing. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to break back through the first major support level and move through to $9,000 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,151.2. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,000 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $9,000 would likely limit any upside on the day once more. In the event of a breakout, expect the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 would likely come into play before any pullback. Failure to break back through the first major support level could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red A fall back through the morning low $8,750.0 would bring the second major support level at $8,635.20 into play.

The media has been going quite crazy about Rowan, the blockchain-powered energy trading portal that is targeting both the residential as well as commercial properties. In a recent interview David Duckworth, the Founder of Rowan Energy was quite candid about his personal life and spent hours talking about the project in detail. While talking about the journey of his life he said, "Initially I worked as a freelance consultant for security & Firewall with top banks, law firms, and even insurance companies. My introduction to bitcoin happened in 2014 through my father in law who found out about bitcoin from a UK newspaper. Soon after I started a venture of my own for mining bitcoins in Cambridge. The 50TH/s mine which filled an entire room was hosted in a shared office. But after a year, my landlord excluded electricity from the lease, which made the entire venture unprofitable so I had to sell off the equipment. In 2018, FIT, which is a solar incentive of the United Kingdom, came to an end which made me think about the importance of such projects in the society and the need for them. This is how I got inspired to start Rowan where the trading bot can be used for trading energy between the consumers and the solar owners. But after years of innovation and brainstorming it\'s only a minor part of the entire project that aims to deliver way more than trading of energy." What sets this project apart is the fact that unlike the others, they have built their own infrastructure which gives their business an added value and much more control over its operations. This is just the start, they also have multiple layers of protection to make sure that all the user data are safe and secure to keep the data away from the lookups of the regular block explorers. Having their own structure also means that they don\'t need to wait for anyone before making any upgrade to the system. This is also the first such project to have a massive presence in the UK which targets the various commercial properties. Story continues There are two major ways the Rowan Energy will get a boost to its values. Both the co-owners have previously built a smart meter network which gives them an added advantage with Rowan. Also they have a Proof Of Concept signed with PassivSystems, a meter reading company. Rowan will also have complete access to the market being the only certificate provider for residential properties.

He has more than 17 years of trading and asset management experience at firms including Merrill Lynch and Citadel Securities. Carl Icahn is famous for moving in and out of asset classes. This is quite different than how most asset managers and professional investors invest, who are generally locked into an asset class based on specific mandate, and are therefore forced to try to make something out of whatever is available to them, even if the opportunity set isn’t great. While some may label Icahn an activist investor, or a vulture investor, he’s actually more appropriately labeled as an “opportunist,” which is to say he isn’t just an equity guy or a bond guy or a real estate guy. Icahn has famously said,“My investment philosophy, generally, is to buy something when no one wants it.” The crypto markets to date have been dominated by crypto-native investors. There is very little cross-asset ownership largely because the infrastructure is totally different. Crypto investing doesn’t fit with traditional investor mandates, nor does it fit within the work flows of traditional banks, prime brokerages, exchanges or algorithms. This is slowly changing with the entry of traditional financial powerhouses to the digital assets space like Fidelity, CME and NYSE, but this asset class is still largely foreign and unappealing to the majority of investors. Related:You Are the Product: A Three-Step Plan to Take Back Control of Personal Data Crypto needs investors to come and go who aren’t solely crypto investors. That said, a lack of full attention has its advantages. When one isn’t focused day to day on the equity markets, it is often easier to see one or two data points, interpret the data and make clear and objective decisions. For example, 2019 earnings were incredibly weak, and the majority of stock gains were via multiple expansion and central bank balance sheet growth. As a non-equity investor, this seems like a better time to sell than buy. Similarly, if you’re not focused every day on digital assets and were presented with just the facts right now regarding supply and demand, adoption and monetary policy, you might conclude the current macro environment iscreating the perfect storm for owning certain digital assets. We see this dynamic play out all the time in traditional markets. In 2008, many value investors moved away from equities and into corporate bonds, and distressed debt investors largely moved into bank debt and mortgages. In 2012, many U.S. bond investors moved into European bank loans. And from 2015 to present, just about everyone has rotated into equities. Similarly, crypto needs investors to come and go who aren’t solely crypto investors. This asset rotation and opportunistic investing will help the market find equilibrium at both market tops and bottoms, helping to reduce the crazy highs and the depressing lows historically associated with this asset class. Related:No, Concentration Among Miners Isn’t Going to Break Bitcoin Easier said than done of course, but we are beginning to see this happen in real time. Those not in the market full time are starting to cherry-pick just like Carl Icahn. Ark Invest, which famously became the first public fund to invest inbitcoin(BTC), seems to be fund doing just that. A quick look at its latest 13-F filings show the firm has historically bought bitcoin on price dips (throughout 2018), sold at market peaks (June 2019) and has recently added back at market lows (December 2019). Right now, crypto continues to largely be an isolated, and oft-ignored, section of the financial ecosystem. Perhaps the bitcoin carry trade (similar to the yen carry trade in 2013) will be one catalyst that brings new players into crypto, or maybe a declining bond and equity market will lead to asset rotations. Regardless of how it happens, this will be the next step before digital assets can truly take off and become mainstream. • Financial Services: The Coming Cataclysm • Don’t Obsess Over Crypto End Users, We Still Need Developers to Build the Back End... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Wolfshire', 'Does anyone seriously find the THICC weapons case to be worth it?', 15, '2020-03-08 00:04', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ff3955/does_anyone_seriously_find_the_thicc_weapons_case/', "I just received a THICC weapons case for maxing out my trader loyalty, but there's a problem with it. The thicc weapons case does not fit into an items case. I know this is as designed but it honestly has me questioning whether the THICC weapon case is worth it at all. For the price of ONE thicc weapons case (5mil) you can buy an items case (2mil) and 3 weapons cases (1.1mil) to put inside of it.\n\nHere's some quick math: \nThicc weapon case: 10 slots (in stash) -> 90 slots (internal) \nItem case: 16 slots (in stash) -> 64 slots (internal) \nWeapon case: 10 slots (in stash) -> 50 slots (internal)\n\nClearly the thicc weapon's case is larger than the regular weapons case and the items case, but now let's add the weapons cases to our items case.\n\nThe item case still takes up 16 slots in our stash, but with 3 weapons cases in it, it has a remaining 34 slots plus the additional 150 slots from the weapons case. That means an items case and 3 weapons cases provides you with 184 slots for just 16 slots.\n\nItem case + 3 weapons case: 11.5x internal slots per stash slot (184 / 16) \nThicc weapons case: 9x slots per stash slot (90 / 10)\n\nThat's just counting the cases you can buy for trading in your thicc weapons case. You could actually fill that item case with even more weapons cases making it even more space efficient, at the cost of some additional cash.\n\nSorry for the wall of text, was just wondering if anyone had run through the same line of logic when considering keeping the thicc weapon's case. If BSG truly wants the thicc weapon's case to be worth the money, then it absolutely needs to fit into an items case. (I do see that theres a bitcoin trade which probably explains the 5mil price, but that basically turns the thicc weapons case into a glorified luxury item.)", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ff3955/does_anyone_seriously_find_the_thicc_weapons_case/', 'ff3955', [['u/Ellestrian', 25, '2020-03-08 00:08', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ff3955/does_anyone_seriously_find_the_thicc_weapons_case/fjv2ab5/', 'You can put a THICC weapons case inside an items case if you put the THICC case in a backpack first.', 'ff3955']]], ['u/EuroZeus', 'Lighting network', 13, '2020-03-08 00:14', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ff3ed2/lighting_network/', 'Is it legit? \nCan someone tell how does it work?\nIs it like a blockchain on top of bitcoin blockchain?\nIs it secure?

Lawyers representing Zhan in the Cayman Islands previously told CoinDesk that Zhan, as a major shareholder, was not aware of the meeting beforehand, and a hearing for the case might be scheduled after the Easter holiday. Asset protection The lawsuit in China also followed an asset-protection petition filed by Zhan and approved by the same court in December, but the court’s full judgment was not made public until last Thursday. Related: Ethereum’s ProgPoW Debate Is About Much More Than Mining The court sided with Zhan to freeze 36 percent of Fujian Zhanhua’s 10 million yuan incorporated shares owned by Bitmain, worth 3.6 million yuan, or $500,000. Though the value of the frozen assets may be negligible for Bitmain, the percentage could be significant. Story continues Fujian Zhanhua is 100 percent owned by Beijing Bitmain, whose parent company is Cayman-registered BitMain Technologies Holding, of which Zhan remains the largest shareholder – with 36 percent. That means Zhan indirectly owns 36 percent of Fujian Zhanhua, suggesting the asset-protection move is intended to prevent his power over this subsidiary from being transferred or diluted. Under the court’s asset-protection order, Beijing Bitmain will not be able to transfer or pledge these frozen assets as collateral, nor would it be able to increase the subsidiary’s total incorporated capital in order to dilute the percentage of the frozen ownership. But why Fujian Zhanhua ? It may appear surprising that Zhan would file a case against one subsidiary out of a dozen entities under Bitmain’s holding firm, and in a court in Fujian instead of Bitmain’s home base in Beijing. But the importance of Fujian Zhanhua could hint at Zhan’s strategy for fighting back since he was ousted in a coup in November 2019. To be sure, Zhan, a Fujian native, is still the legal representative of Fujian Zhanhua, a firm that was ranked 58th by the Fujian provincial government in 2018 out of the top 100 taxpayer companies. And Bitmain’s Hong Kong IPO filing in 2018 listed Fujian Zhanhua as one of the four principal subordinate entities that had made material contribution to the financial results of Bitmain’s holding group, alongside Beijing Bitmain, Bitmain Hong Kong and a Shenzhen manufacturing subsidiary. The document specified the principal business activity of Fujian Zhanhua as Bitmain’s “sales center for cryptocurrency mining hardware” in China. Bitmain booked over $2.5 billion in revenue in 2017 alone, of which about 95 percent came from sales of its mining hardware. And the mainland China market counted for nearly 50 percent of the total sales volume that year. In fact, Bitmain’s two major sales channels – the AntMiner pre-sales and post-sales WeChat accounts – were previously owned and operated by Fujian Zhanhua. However, the ownership for both channels was migrated to another, lesser-known Bitmain subsidiary in December, whose legal representative is not Zhan. Further, the IPO document revealed the Fujian subsidiary played a vital role in one of Bitmain’s financing activities in 2018. In July 2018, Beijing Bitmain signed a series of purchase agreements worth $100 million to buy an office building in Beijing. To finance that transaction, it borrowed $49 million from a local bank with the acquired property pledged as collateral and with Fujian Zhanhua as a guarantor, underscoring the financial wherewithal of the Fujian subsidiary.

It is now re-testing the daily 200 moving average at $8,750 ahead of a potential breakout above the $8,830 level of support-turned-resistance, although the market needs a surge in volume for a major move to come into fruition. The most likely scenario moving into the rest of the week is a period of consolidation following Tuesday’s gruelling descent to the downside. Bitcoin is now trading 16% lower than it was on February 14 when it tested the $10,500 level of resistance. Another rejection from the 200 moving average could signal the start of further downtrend that will likely drive price to a diagonal trendline dating back to February 2019. Interestingly, the trendline that was used as support at the end of 2019 is in confluence with the horizontal level at $7,880, which means that it poses a predictable stopping point for Bitcoin before the end of the month. The upcoming Bitcoin halving will also undoubtedly have an impact on its price, as it has in previous years. As block rewards for miners get slashed from 12.5BTC to 6.25BTC per block, supply subsequently dries up leading to a surge in demand and a hike in price. This is why – if Bitcoin can continue trading above $7,800 – it remains bullish from a macro perspective, despite looking unhealthy in the short term.

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. Story continues The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On January 3 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

Come and check out a fun faucet for a change :)', 141, '2020-03-10 01:48', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/fg5b2x/i_worked_hard_for_it_version_20_of_luckynano_is/', "Howdy \\~♪\n\nIt's been a vague promise for a year now, life has been quite busy on my end but, yay, we've done it: LuckyNano 2.0 is a thing ! [Do pay us a visit by clicking](https://luckynano.com) [this link](https://luckynano.com/), peeps.\n\nAs always, I'm sure many of you don't know LN, so let me introduce you: LuckyNano started in January 2018, with the idea of creating a faucet to introduce people to Nano, but in a fun way. I felt really bummed that such an awesome currency as Nano would only be discovered through dull faucets, where all you do to get munie is clicking a button, every now and then. Worse, some only allow you to claim once, or at the cost of viewing ads.\n\nI was a big fan of gamefaucet.com for Bitcoin (RIP), which let you play casino games in exchange of a few satoshi, with a big community component around it. People were enticed to chat and build a strong fanbase, and those who wanted to help the project would invest their own money to unlock perks and features.\n\nThis is \\exactly\\ what I'm going for with LuckyNano: a faucet with casino-inspired games where you win NANO, but with a more modern design, and an enhanced multiplayer aspect. And those who are willing to try their luck for a quick buck, or simply want to help keep the project afloat can deposit a couple of NANO to play for higher stakes.\n\nSo ! On to what 2.0 has to offer:\n\n* A brand new game: BlackJack. It's in Alpha version, so while the tests are going on, only faucet users can play -- the goal is to avoid potential breaking bugs during paid games. Only the basic rules are implemented, it's very barebone and with only one table, meaning 5 simultaneous players max. But GOD, it's finally there !\n* Faucet users can finally play all games (except Poker): it was kind of a bummer that only the Slots Machine was available to free players before. It was first intended to be temporary, to promote the game that was introduced when 1.0 rolled out. Then it stayed the same for over a year...\n* POKER IS FREE, ladies and gentlemen. You may now sit at our Cash Games and play all you want, it's absolutely free and will always be from now on -- no more profit-based fee, heck, don't even get me started with the robbery that rake fee is. Plus, Freeroll Tournaments are now every two hours. That's 3x more chances to get decent real money out of it. \n * The reason for this is that Poker still runs its legacy PHP code from v0.6, instead of Node.js like every other game. Porting the backend to Javascript will be a pain, as it is more than 5k lines of codes to convert -- and improve on. While the game development is stale, I see no reason to keep making profit out of it, so, there you go.\n* Improved security. Unfortunately, as 2.0 was about to be pushed a couple of weeks ago, the website was attacked. The cracker only got to steal around 14 NANO, but an attack is still an attack and has to be taken seriously. Hotfixes were pushed here and there, and 2FA is now enforced on all accounts to prevent illicit account info changes or withdrawals. It does require users to provide a real e-mail address, but it's the only personal information asked from the player. I believe that cryptocurrency users like their privacy, and that services such as mine should not collect more info than they need for their users' and their own security.\n\nPlease [try it](https://luckynano.com/), and share some love if you feel like it. :-)", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/fg5b2x/i_worked_hard_for_it_version_20_of_luckynano_is/', 'fg5b2x', [['u/Emul0rd', 27, '2020-03-10 01:53', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/fg5b2x/i_worked_hard_for_it_version_20_of_luckynano_is/fk2i6t7/', 'Oh, and our hot wallet is still a Rebroadcasting (Main) Representative!

Almost all altcoins have also moved to a steady upward trend. Especially worth mentioning is Ethereum (ETH), which has added 9% in the last 24 hours, reaching $208, having crossed the round mark. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) also shows an impressive growth of almost 14% to $440. As the crypto market grows, many analysts, including Josh Rager, announce a change of trend, and the new altcoin season. There is every reason for that, especially given the price dynamics related to the coronavirus and traditional market. At the beginning of the next bullish spiral, the crypto community linked this growth to the virus, geopolitics, overbought stocks, tying to gold dynamics, and other factors. So what do we see now? Panic around the epidemic has eased: Chinese scientists are actively convincing the international community that they have taken control of the situation and developed a vaccine. This news provoked further stock growth; oil bounced back while gold declined. Besides, there is extremely positive news about US-China trade war. In theory, all this could lead to a reversal of the Bitcoin and the entire market to a decline. So how could Bitcoin get a significant impulse on the background of the coronavirus spreading? It is quite possible to assume a scenario where the epidemic spreads to many countries of the world, provoking governments to close borders. This would immediately lead to a breakdown of all established supply chains and a drop in trade volumes. The end of broad free trade between countries could cause restrictions on capital movements, as panic provokes asset flight. In that case, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could indeed be considered beneficiaries of the “feast at a time of plague”. Nevertheless, the situation is improving, and we see active growth. All this suggests that Bitcoin for investors is in a border zone. It’s not a traditional risk asset, as its volatility is still off the charts compared to popular currencies and equities; and yet, it’s not a safe-haven. Story continues Most likely, we are witnessing a situation where investors, investing in stocks against the backdrop of growing optimism, diversify some funds towards Bitcoin. The first cryptocurrency, in its turn, is pulling the rest of the crypto market upwards. We can assume that BTC will follow the sentiment of large investors, receiving impulses depending on the general direction of the market. Price dynamics can be heated up by the participants of the crypto market themselves, who, however, probably, no longer have the same driving force, which once pushed the rate to $20,000.

Today's Key News: ['By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) - Panic hit world financial markets on Thursday after stimulus efforts from the European Central Bank failed to calm investors alarmed by U.S. moves to restrict travel from Europe because of the coronavirus pandemic. An MSCI global gauge of stocks posted its largest daily percentage drop on record, as did European shares <.STOXX>. Wall Street\'s Dow industrials index <.DJI> recorded its largest daily decline since the Black Monday crash of October 1987. The New York Federal Reserve pumped more liquidity to banks, briefly reversing some of the day\'s losses. It was the third substantial increase in repo support announced by the U.S. central bank this week, a sign the Fed is taking drastic steps to inject more liquidity into the banking system as markets show signs of stress. The U.S. dollar responded atypically, rising against numerous currencies and gold in yet another sign of financial market stress. Oil prices sank further, while traditional safe-haven assets like gold and the Japanese yen lost value against the dollar. Trading was halted for 15 minutes shortly after the open in New York after the benchmark S&P 500 stock index tumbled more than 7%. It ended down 9.5%. In a televised address late on Wednesday that included support measures for the economy, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed restrictions on travel from Europe to the United States, shocking investors and travelers. Traders were disappointed after hoping to see broader measures to fight the spread of the virus and blunt its expected blow to economic growth. "The economy is going to grind to a halt in the next month and the recession risk is real now," said Zhiwei Ren, managing director at Penn Mutual Asset Management in Horsham, Pennsylvania. Trump said the United States would suspend all travel from Europe, except Britain and Ireland, for 30 days starting on Friday. He later said trade would not be affected by the restrictions. Story continues Worries spread far beyond stocks to companies\' lines of credit and their ability to finance business activity in the short term.

The state House of Representatives announced the retraction on January 8 following a motion from the General Courts Executives Departments Committee, which deemed the initiative as inexpedient to legislate. The main stumbling block for state agencies in New Hampshire was the volatility of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which could have turned into a significant expense for the state. These changes would increase Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2020, in anticipation of an implementation date of July 1 2020, the report states. The DRA cannot estimate if any additional revenue would be generated due to the acceptance of cryptocurrencies. The volatility of accepting cryptocurrencies could affect revenues due to tax assessments being generated in US currency. Ohio also experienced issues when trying to implement cryptocurrency tax payments into its existing system, with the initiative lasting less than a year. In November 2018, it became the first state to accept cryptocurrency for tax payments, only for the legislation to be suspended in October 2019 as the states treasurer, Robert Sprague, claimed that officials needed to ensure it was compliant with existing Ohio law.

Tether Gold “represents ownership of one troy fine ounce of physical gold on a specific gold bar,” a press release said Thursday. The new stablecoins, with the XAU₮ ticker, will be issued on ethereum and tron as ERC-20 and TRC20 tokens. “Tether Gold is launching in response to the growing demand for a digital asset that provides exposure to the world’s most enduring asset and a geopolitical need for an alternative financial system,” a spokesperson said in an email.

The original cryptocurrency hasn’t regained the lofty highs of its bubble peak in late 2017, but it has climbed back up to about $10,000: Predictions that Bitcoin would collapse have not borne fruit. Despite its bubbles and crashes, the cryptocurrency is now a semi-permanent feature of the global financial landscape. What it is not, however, is a generally accepted currency. Although many retailers now accept Bitcoin, the overwhelming majority of day-to-day payments are done in regular old fiat currency. The mere fact that the dollar price of Bitcoin remains an important metric indicates that Bitcoin’s central value is as a speculative asset, rather than its usefulness as a medium of exchange. It’s fairly obvious why. Because of Bitcoin’s price volatility, people don’t want to hang onto it for very long. No one wants to get their paycheck only to find that it has halved in value by the time it comes to buy groceries. Also, optimists who think Bitcoin’s value will continue to go up on average over time will be reluctant to part with it in exchange for something ephemeral like a pizza; better to hang onto the BTC and buy pizza with depreciating dollars instead. (Disclosure: I still own a small amount of Bitcoin.) In fact, these two reasons are just different sides of the same coin: Basic finance theory says that in a reasonably efficient market, high expected returns come at the expense of high volatility. An asset like Bitcoin, or the U.S. dollar, can be a good investment or can be good for buying stuff, but unless the economy is deeply dysfunctional, it can’t be both. Some economists, however, are thinking about how this situation might change, and whether Bitcoin — or some alternative cryptocurrency — might actually replace fiat money as the standard means of payment. This has big policy implications, because if it did become real money, cryptocurrency could interfere with central banks’ ability to manage the economy and the price level. It also matters for crypto investors’ wallets. One possibility is that nothing needs to be done, and eventually Bitcoin will settle into a new low-volatility equilibrium, making it more suitable as a means of payment. Economists Michael Choi and Guillaume Rocheteau have made a model in which this happens. The problem is that the model sees Bitcoin competing with other commodity-like forms of money, such as gold or other cryptocurrencies. Their result relies on the idea that liquid assets will always be in short supply. In reality, Bitcoin is competing against fiat currencies that can be produced more or less costlessly. A more plausible prediction comes from economists Jonathan Chiu and Thorsten Koeppl. Like other economists who have theorized about Bitcoin, they view cryptocurrency’s fundamental challenge as that of preventing double-spending — in other words, verifying electronically that someone really has the money when they make a payment. This issue of digital trust, after all, is the problem Bitcoin was designed to solve. Chiu and Koeppl suggest that to become useful as a form of money, a cryptocurrency should be inflationary. The people who verify Bitcoin transactions, called miners, are now compensated for their usage of computing power by being awarded new Bitcoins, but the rewards are decreasing over time. One of the basic ideas of Bitcoin, which stems partly from the hard-money beliefs of its creators, is that the cryptocurrency should be deflationary — that its supply should be limited, and its value should increase over time due to increasing scarcity. This means that eventually, miners will have to be rewarded with transaction fees instead of new Bitcoins. Chiu and Koeppl say this is a bad idea. Transaction fees, they note, are levied on a small population — that is, whoever is doing the transaction. To make it worth the miners’ while, the fees must be very high, which discourages people from transacting in Bitcoin. If miners are instead paid with inflation, the cost gets spread out among everyone who owns Bitcoin. Also, transaction fees make a double-spending attack more potentially lucrative, because creating a fake transaction would also save money on the fee. Thus, they recommend sticking with the inflation method of payment, and letting cryptocurrency depreciate over time like the U.S. dollar does. This could be exactly what cryptocurrency needs in order to turn into real money. Negative expected returns — essentially, a low and stable inflation target — would make Bitcoin less attractive as a long-term investment. Instead of hoarding it, people would be fine getting rid of it in exchange for pizza. The currency’s value might then stabilize, as speculation decreased. Abandoning the dream of deflationary digital gold might be hard for Bitcoin’s adherents to accept. But other cryptocurrencies, such as ZCash, Monero, Dash or Facebook Inc.’s Libra might step in to fill the gap. Of course, they would still have to overcome the technical problem of being able to handle large transaction volumes as cheaply and easily as a credit card company, but Chiu and Koeppl are confident that this is possible. So ironically, cryptocurrency might only become a currency if it acts more like the U.S. dollar, with a low but predictable inflation target.

(NYSE: BA ) must fix electrical wiring issues inside its grounded 737 MAX planes before they are cleared to fly by the FAA. What Happened In another setback for Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concluded that the wiring layout of the 737 Max violates wiring-safety standards aimed at preventing short-circuits, according to The Wall Street Journal. The aviation regulator decided that under extreme circumstances, the failure of the wiring could lead the 737 MAX flight control systems to point the planes nose sharply downwards in the same manner as the two MAX Jets that crashed in the past and killed 346 people. Official confirmation has not been made by FAA Administrator Steve Dickson, but the regulators safety and certification officials have been told by technical experts at the FAA that changes are required in the wiring locations. Why It Matters In late February, Boeing had discovered foreign object debris in some of the grounded MAXs fuel tanks. Wiring changes could delay 737 MAXs returns to the skies by several weeks reported the Journal citing sources. Boeing had planned to return the 737 Max back to service by mid-June. This is a test of new Boeing CEO Dave Calhouns ability to steer the company out of the crisis caused by the fatal crashes that led to the grounding of these aircraft. Calhoun has taken a more conciliatory stand with respect to the FAA. What Else Is There In a boost for Boeing last month, Japanese airline group ANA Holdings Inc. announced the purchase of 20 additional 787 Dreamliners valued at more than $5 billion at list prices. Price Action Boeing shares traded 1.27% lower at $259 in the after-hours session on Friday. The shares had closed the regular session 0.75% higher at $262.33.

Since older equipment is becoming unprofitable even before the reward is cut, more than $500 million has been poured into the new, more efficient machines that can churn out more bitcoin, according to a CoinDesk estimate.\nRelated:Why Bitcoin Mining Might Be the New Business Model for US Power Plants\nBut bitcoin price’s recent plunge – crashing to below $5,000 on Friday and recording a 50 percent drop since its high above $10,000 in late 2019 – is creating greater uncertainty about mining farms’ profitability.\nAccording to data from mining poolPoolIn, even the most efficient equipment on the market, such as MicroBT’s WhatsMiner M20S and Bitmain’s AntMiner S17 Pro, is generating daily profits at a gross margin below 50 percent. That estimate is based on bitcoin’s current price and mining difficulty (a measure of how competitive it is to mine bitcoin) with an average electricity cost of $0.05 per kilowatt hour (kWh).\nIf bitcoin’s price does not bounce back to a higher point after the halving, which will essentially reduce mining revenue by half, mining farms would have to bear a longer payback period for their investment.\n“We have been just heads down and kept mining, and bought a bunch of new machines,” said Zheng Xun, CEO of Hashage, which operates several sites in China’s mining hub in Sichuan province. “We already have a large scale so probably won’t buy any more for the time being. We’re maintaining cash flow to see how the market plays out after halving.”\nRelated:Bitcoin’s Computing Power Is Growing Again After Coronavirus-Related Disruption\nThat said, it remains to be seen how bitcoin’s overall computing power will react to bitcoin’s price drop in the coming weeks as older mining equipment is expected to shut down. If the computing power and the mining difficulty on bitcoin’s network decrease significantly, the incumbents will be able to mine more coins.\nBut for now, the network’s seven-day rolling average hash rate has shown adowntrendsince last week’s price crash, falling to 108 exhashes per second (EH/s) from 118 EH/s around March 9.\nChris Zhu, co-founder of the mining pool PoolIn, said in an online panel via WeChat on Friday his expectation before the price crash was bitcoin’s hash rate would still rise slowly. Now he expects the computing power to go down by 20 to 30 percent in the coming months.\nGlobal mining farms’ spending glut is reflected in the significant growth of bitcoin’s total computing power in the past half-year.\nSince September 2019, the hashing power on the bitcoin network has increased by 30 percent, jumping from around 90 EH/s to most recently around 120 EH/s.\nGiven that most of the new equipment has been priced between $20 to $30 per terahash per second (TH/s), mining farm operators may have spent more than $600 million in recent months to get ready for the coming halving event. (For context, 1 EH/s = 1 million TH/s.)\nArtem Eremin, product manager of 3logic, a reseller of bitcoin ASIC miners, said his clients in Russia and central Asia have started actively buying Bitmain’s AntMiner S17s since October, preparing to replace the old ones. (ASICs, or application-specific integrated circuits, are computer chips customized for heavy-duty activities like mining.)\n3logic now sells about 2,500 units of the newest equipment per month. It used to be around 5,000 units in October and November, Eremin said, although the buying momentum slowed in December. According to different estimates, a third to half of all mining computers in Russia might have been replaced with the new models by now.\nIgor Runets, CEO of Bitriver, a mining venue in Bratsk, Russia, said his clients had been buying new ASICs quite actively since last fall but slowed down their purchases in January. “There was the Chinese New Year, the coronavirus outbreak, and then the buying activity just didn’t fully recover after that,” he said.\nSimilarly in China, larger mining farms have been revamping their facilities with top-of-the-line equipment in large quantities since the second half of 2019, when major manufacturers started to ship equipment in bulk.\nZheng said his firm scaled up its facilities by 30 percent with the latest machines supplied by Bitmain and MicroBT since the end of the summer in China last year and the deployment was in place prior to the Chinese New Year.\nSome, like Gabriel Xia’s Spark Capital, a China-based fund, even started the replacement and upgrade work as early as summer 2019. “We sold all the old S9s in summer last year when its price at the second-hand market doubled and started buying new equipment,” he said.\nBehind this recent buying momentum is the tremendous amount of investment that has poured into the bitcoin mining space in 2019 alone.\nFor perspective, bitcoin’s hashing power hit 1 EH/s for the first time around February 2016. It then took the network about 30 months to reach 50 EH/s in September 2018 – even after the 2017 bull run.\nBut it only took the network 15 months to double that level and reach 100 EH/s in January 2020.\nThis accelerated growth was made possible by major manufacturers such as Bitmain, MicroBT and Canaan, which have produced and shipped more powerful equipment using more advanced computing chips.\nBut technological advancement also means new equipment has become much more expensive. With higher barriers to entry than in 2017, the space has been consolidating, squeezing out retail miners.\nIn 2017, even on the back of bitcoin’s bull run, it might not be so common to hear one customer place a single purchase order worth over $15 million for mining equipment. But things changed in 2019.\n“With an order like 100 million yuan [$15 million] in 2017, you might be the biggest miner across the network,” said Xia, whose firm has been mining since 2016. By 2019, “$15 million would only make you just an ordinary big customer.”\nTraditionally, mining farms would sell fresh bitcoins to fund their operations. However, over the last couple of years, a new market for financial services emerged to help them get working capital even if they want to “hodl” (bitcoin slang for holding rather than selling).\nXia said Spark Capital’s mined assets have been pledged as collateral for loans it took out to pay utility bills and expand operations. The firm is betting it will be able to sell the coins at a higher price later, and in the meantime it’s shortening the time it takes for the machines to pay for themselves.\n“We are looking at a longer term when we scale up,” he said.\nEchoing that strat Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24, 10326.05, 10214.38, 10312.12, 9889.42, 9934.43, 9690.14, 10142.00, 9633.39, 9608.48, 9686.44, 9663.18, 9924.52, 9650.17, 9341.71, 8820.52, 8784.49, 8672.46, 8599.51, 8562.45, 8869.67, 8787.79, 8755.25, 9078.76, 9122.55, 8909.95, 8108.12, 7923.64, 7909.73, 7911.43, 4970.79, 5563.71, 5200.37, 5392.31] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The relief rally comes after a troubling month for XRP with it losing more than 56% of its value since February 15. The sell-off has been reflected across all cryptocurrency trading pairs, with the likes of Bitcoin also suffering a 50% correction. XRP is occupying uncharted territory at the moment with it not trading this low since before the 2017 bull market. It needs to continue trading above $0.13, at the very least, in order to avoid a further plunge below the psychological level of support at $0.10. From a bullish perspective it needs to rally back above the $0.1691 level of resistance before taking a stab at the $0.20 level, although a spike in volume is required for a hike of that magnitude to come into fruition. Despite suffering a major sell-off XRP remains the third largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $6.5 billion with daily trade volume regularly exceeding $2.5 billion.

Given the threat of the coronavirus, the university believes it’s no longer safe for students to congregate at a graduation ceremony. Instead of postponing the event, the administration decided to give students the option to get their diplomas online, local media outletMBNreported. On Feb. 7, POSTECH’s 828 new graduates will receive an email letter with a QR code linked to their blockchain-stored diploma. The diplomas are created by blockchain-based certification service “broof.” Launched in May 2019 by Korean firmICONLOOP, the service allows users to issue, manage, and view online certificates via ICONLOOP’s public blockchain network. "In the aftermath of the new corona, it is impossible to hold a graduation ceremony on time,” a POSTECH official told MBN. "Now, even if a student does not visit the school to receive the diploma, they can get an online digital degree secured by blockchain technology." POSTECH previously made use of broof’s technology in June 2019 when it issued blockchain certificates to graduates of its blockchain CEO course, MBN said. Compared to traditional online diplomas, blockchain-based certificates are not subject to forgery or alteration. Recipients can access the information through an encrypted path.

More immediately, though, the firm wants to raise awareness with a general public desperate to buy supplies and protect themselves during the ongoing public health crisis.\nYang offered some recommendations for pandemic shoppers: Don’t buy medical supplies from untrusted marketplaces; never conduct deals over WhatsApp and WeChat; and approach crypto-first vendors skeptically – some are indeed legitimate, but others may well be scammers.\n“Anyone who is thinking of buying medical supplies online should take a moment and verify that you are in fact dealing with a legitimate, reputable company, otherwise your money could be lost to unscrupulous criminals,” Interpol Chief Jurgen Stock said in his presser.\n• Controversial Group Behind Coronavirus Tracking App Has Crypto Ties\n• Bitcoin News Roundup for March 18, 2020', 'Scammers purporting to sell pandemic essentials \x96 such as face masks, hand sanitizer and medication \x96 have stolen at least $2 million in cryptocurrency from panicking consumers, claims blockchain security firm AnChain.AI.

The swindled crypto does flow back to Asia, though. \x93While we are still investigating this process, and the scam itself is observed worldwide, the liquidation itself is primarily going through big Asia-based exchanges,\x94 said Yang, who suspects this is because of exchange rate and liquidity concerns (he declined to name the exchanges). What to look out for Yang said AnChain.AI\x92s investigation is ongoing and may begin expanding to other \x93nationalities.\x94 Coronavirus shows no signs of stopping, and as such it is unlikely scammers will die down either. In the long term AnChain.AI hopes to identify scammers at the point of exit \x96 the exchanges \x96 which would likely need to happen through official law enforcement inquiries and legal procedures. More immediately, though, the firm wants to raise awareness with a general public desperate to buy supplies and protect themselves during the ongoing public health crisis. Yang offered some recommendations for pandemic shoppers: Don\x92t buy medical supplies from untrusted marketplaces; never conduct deals over WhatsApp and WeChat; and approach crypto-first vendors skeptically \x96 some are indeed legitimate, but others may well be scammers. \x93Anyone who is thinking of buying medical supplies online should take a moment and verify that you are in fact dealing with a legitimate, reputable company, otherwise your money could be lost to unscrupulous criminals,\x94 Interpol Chief Jurgen Stock said in his presser.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['By Tom Wilson LONDON (Reuters) - As worries over the economic hit from the coronavirus outbreak spread from stocks, oil and bonds to cryptocurrencies late last week, bitcoin crashed to its worst day in seven years. But plummeting prices weren\'t the only problem for investors. As volatility and volumes spiked, the infrastructure underpinning digital coin trading creaked under the strain. Futures exchanges saw a rash of electronically-triggered liquidations of leveraged positions, fuelling pressure on prices. Spreads between exchanges jumped. And at least two major exchanges went down, leaving investors locked out of the market for well over an hour. Bitcoin prices collapsed nearly 40% on March 12, the biggest one-day drop since spring 2013, before jumping 16% a day later. Volatility raced to its highest in seven years, with volumes across major cryptocurrency exchanges soaring to $30.8 billion on March 12-13, data from industry website CryptoCompare shows -- among the four highest two-day totals on record. As the turmoil gripped markets, New York exchange Gemini said it fell offline for less than 90 minutes. Seychelles-based BitMEX, one of the world\'s biggest platforms for leveraged derivatives trading, went down twice, for a total of 45 minutes. A spokeswoman for Gemini said the exchange "observed a technical issue impacting a subset of our customers." "In an abundance of caution, and to protect the integrity of our marketplace, we paused the market to resolve the issue and ensure all market services were back online in a healthy state prior to reopening," she said. Gemini declined to detail the problem, or comment on whether it was caused or exacerbated by market moves. BitMEX said its outages were due to denial-of-service cyberattacks that stopped messages from reaching its trading engines. The unidentified attackers "waited for the moment their attack would make the most market impact" and overwhelmed the platform "during a moment of peak volatility", it said. Story continues The outages were a reminder of the fragility of key components in crypto markets, underscoring the dangers of a high-risk asset that large investors typically steer clear of. And while most exchanges continued as normal during the turbulence, the Gemini and BitMEX episodes may also fuel doubts that bitcoin\'s infrastructure is solid enough for it to work as an alternative to traditional currencies. "There\'s no way to say it\'s good for the ecosystem when exchanges go down," said Richard Galvin of crypto fund Digital Asset Capital Management. (GRAPHIC: Bitcoin plummets - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/editorcharts/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS-CRYPTOCURRENCIES/0H001R8H9CE4/eikon.png) FRAGILE INFRASTRUCTURE? As bitcoin struggles to evolve from rebel technology into mainstream asset, the outages underscore the fragility of the sector at times of stress, industry figures said. "Volatility is not an issue -- it\'s whether the technology can deal with the volatility." said Denis Vinokourov at crypto exchange BeQuant. Most crypto exchanges have bolstered their capacity to deal with high volatility and volumes, and the majority of major exchanges continued operating normally late last week. But with crypto markets having been dogged by cyberattacks since their birth 12 years ago, exchanges should be better prepared, said Tim Swinson, head of market intelligence at Clearmatics, a London-based blockchain startup that designs peer-to-peer payment platforms. "The fact that exchanges are still being taken down is par for the course, but it shouldn\'t be an excuse," he said. "It shouldn\'t be normal." (GRAPHIC: Volatile times - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/editorcharts/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS-CRYPTOCURRENCIES/0H001R8H6CDY/eikon.png) CIRCUIT BREAKERS As bitcoin fell on Thursday, positions on major derivatives exchanges such as BitMEX, which offers highly leveraged trading, were automatically liquidated. That stoked pressure on prices, amplifying moves and accelerating bitcoin\'s fall, traders said. Yet unlike major stock exchanges that use circuit breakers to slam the brakes on trading during disruption or panic selling, crypto exchanges generally lack devices to arrest extraordinary price moves. And in contrast to foreign exchange markets, in which central banks sometimes intervene, the mostly unregulated crypto sector is left to its own devices in times of unruly trading. Last week\'s moves raised questions over whether circuit breakers are needed in crypto. "The tech is important," said Vinokourov at BeQuant. "You\'re inviting traditional, big firms to trade on platforms that may not be able to withstand the amount of trading." Circuit breakers do already exist at some exchanges. Deribit, a Panama-based derivatives exchange, in November brought in circuit breakers to counter erratic price swings, said Chief Commercial Officer Luuk Strijers. They were triggered on Thursday "to protect the market and our clients from extreme price volatility," he added. Yet many in the crypto sector say circuit breakers would be impractical for digital coin trading, which takes place across multiple exchanges, without coordinated introduction. Asked whether it operates or plans to introduce circuit breakers, Gemini said: "The cryptocurrency market does not have circuit breakers." BitMEX said it does not operate circuit breakers. "To prevent negative feedback loops, we do not use the last price of our derivatives to trigger liquidations," it added. Others cite likely opposition to controls on crypto markets, rooted in the technology\'s libertarian roots. "If you put circuit breakers in, you also give up the freedoms of markets to find prices on their own," said Galvin of the fund DACM. "If you\'re playing markets so that you can get super-high returns, you also need an approach that can sustain the bad sides."

However, the family of the Coin Ninja CEO claims he was never involved with AlphaBay. Harmon’s case raises pressing questions about developer liability in the crypto industry. In addition to the crypto media site Coin Ninja, Harmon created the bitcoin (BTC) mixer Helix, which sends transactions out in mixed batches so individual payments are harder to trace.In its indictment, Department of Justice prosecutors refer to Helix as a “money transmitting and money laundering business.” Related:For Crypto Miners, Bitcoin’s Halving Could Mean a Doubling in Costs “Helix enabled customers, for a fee, to send bitcoins to designated recipients in a manner which was designed to conceal and obfuscate the source or owner of the bitcoins,” the indictment continues. “This type of service is commonly referred to as a bitcoin ‘mixer’ or ‘tumbler.’” In astatementThursday, Justice Department Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski made the department’s views on bitcoin mixers clear. “This indictment underscores that seeking to obscure virtual currency transactions in this way is a crime,” he said. Harmon’s brother and Coin Ninja coworker, Gary Harmon, said Helix did not directly partner with AlphaBay and the darknet market recommended the mixer without Larry’s permission or input. (Helix shut down in 2017; AlphaBay wasseized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) in July 2017.) Since the arrest, Larry’s wife Margot has received threatening phone calls and texts from unknown numbers saying the harasser knows the location of her home and she is no longer safe there, Gary told CoinDesk in an interview. Related:Bitcoin Closing on Daily Golden Cross That Could Bring Boost to 2020 Price Rally “Now our family is getting threatened because the FBI decided to tell the world that there might be money hidden with us somehow,” Gary said. “They have no proof of this and are now putting our family in danger.” Gary said all his brother’s assets have been frozen and he was denied bail over flight-risk concerns. As such, the family has started aGoFundMecampaign for its expenses during the trial. ”Our address is on it,” Margot Harmon said of the indictment. “At the bond hearing they alleged that he may have had some more bitcoin. So that put us at risk.” Gary said the authorities have already confiscated all of his brother’s hardware wallets and Margot doesn’t have any more bitcoin at home. The Department of Justice says it worked with the Belize National Police Department to search Harmon’s timeshare in Belize as well. Gary said the police “trashed” both of his brother’s homes.

Many bitcoin experts are concerned this could establish a precedent where simply creating a bitcoin mixer is seen, in itself, as a money-laundering conspiracy. Bitcoin Core contributor Matt Corallotweetedthat if this accusation was upheld by the federal court in Washington, D.C., it would be “the beginning of the end.” Margot said her husband was interested in privacy technology, not criminal activity. She offered the example of queer people who may want to purchase porn or sex products without judgment from conservative family members. “Larry has always been an advocate for privacy. He doesn’t know any bad guys from the dark web. He just wanted to help people have better privacy,” she told CoinDesk Thursday. “It’s a basic right we are guaranteed in the Constitution.” The courts may decide in this case if the Fourth Amendment actually relates to bitcoin when it says Americans have the right to be “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” Whether or not this includes aright to privacy, generally speaking, is a hotly debated issue among legal experts. In May, the Dutch Financial Criminal Investigative Service seized and shut down the popular mixing serviceBestmixer.iobut other companies, such as the privacy-centric bitcoin walletWasabi, have built-in mixers as the backbone of their business strategy. These bitcoin wallet startups typically offer non-custodial mixers, unlike the custodial mixer Helix. The Canadian venture fundCypherpunk Holdingsis invested in both Wasabi’s parent company and Samourai Wallet, which also offers a mixing service. The public policy groupCoin Centerargued non-custodial mixers should not be subject to regulation because they offer user-hosted software tools. Only time will tell if the court agrees this reduces the developer’s liability.

Odell said Samourai’s addition ofWhirlpoolmobile support in February 2020 was “a game-changer.”\n“Mobile support is a huge step forward in user experience,” Odell said. “All bitcoin users should be encouraged to use coinjoin otherwise they expose their transaction history to those they pay and those who pay them.”\nByhis tally, the number of coinjoin cycles run through Whirlpool this month is 4,758, more than double the number in February. Samourai Wallet said in a statement that the term “collaborative transaction” is more accurate than the colloquial “mixing” because transactions happen directly between users.\n“This is a fundamentally different proposition than custodial tumblers or ‘mixers’ like Helix,” said Samourai Wallet, referring to the service that landed its creator inlegal troublewith the U.S. Department of Justice last month.\nRelated:Bitcoin Bumps Up, but for How Long?\nHowever, it’s tricky for new bitcoiners to use such privacy tech becausemany exchanges, like Coinbase, Binance or even smaller exchanges like Bits of Gold, flag mixing wallets as a sign of suspicious activity.\nAlthough Bits of Gold CEO Youval Rouach said his exchange saw hundreds of new users over the past two weeks, with new user signups up over 139 percent, they won’t be able to cash out to Samourai Wallet.\n“We see regulation not as a hurdle, but as a step forward toward mainstream adoption,” Rouach said, adding that regulators may consider mixer wallets a “red flag” and “brokers should report those transactions to the anti-money laundering authorities.”\nIn the U.S., attorneyRafael Yakobisaid such policies aren’t necessary because there are legitimate safety considerations for maintaining financial privacy.\n“Maintaining the privacy of your balances and ties to all past and future transactions, that’s not suspicious,” Yakobi said. “It’s just a normal thing that people should be doing.”\nSeparately, he believes the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) May 2019 guidance indicates non-custodial services are exempt from money transmitter requirements because they don’t “accept and transmit value on behalf of users.”\nAttorney Gabriel Shapiro is less certain about FinCEN’s approach to non-custodial wallets with group transactions.\n“Money transmitter laws are very broad and powerful,” Shapiro said. “I am not confident that the mere fact that Samourai does [group transactions] on a ‘non-custodial’ basis is sufficient to protect them from the ambit of financial regulations.”\nRegardless of legal ambiguity in some jurisdictions, privacy tools are essential to bitcoin’s value proposition.\nBitcoin Core contributor James O’Beirne said the coronavirus crisis is inspiring some bitcoiners to question bitcoin’s core value proposition.\n“The inflation hedge use case becomes less compelling if bitcoin’s performance mirrors equities; everyday investors will just use what they’re already familiar with, which is stocks,” O’Beirne said. “Bitcoin has been prone to the same liquidity-induced sell-offs that stocks have, it’s been kind of sobering. … I think that will continue as traditional markets continue to decline.”\nThe price drop is especially relevant to businesses likeminersand exchanges. If the bitcoin price drops low and stays there, it will be less profitable for miners to power the network.\n“Then all the commercial infrastructure of bitcoin is generally going to require longer block confirmation times,” O’Beirne said. “If the security gets low enough in bitcoin, doing the final settlement might start to take as long as it does in the traditional system. Then that big benefit of bitcoin gets impaired.”\nBitcoin’s prospective usage as an investment hedge or faster payments network remains unclear. But the censorship resistance use case is still intact so far. According to a source with knowledge of the matter, there is a six-man effort to use cryptocurrency to buy supplies for a medical mask factory in Iran, a nation devastated by botheconomic sanctionsand acoronavirus outbreakthat claimed more than1,284 Iranian livesso far.\nThese rare cases, using cryptocurrency to buy medicine or supplies despite compliance challenges, do not appear to be a leading use case for the growing popularity of group transactions. When asked if they use such privacy tools, the Iranian factory source said he doesn’t know what a “mixer” is and they’ve used just $1,000 worth of cryptocurrency, both bitcoin and the stablecoin tether (USDT).\nAs Yakobi pointed out, many bitcoiners around the world see batched transactions as a regular part of their privacy-tech setup. Batching bitcoin might be comparable to choosing not to write your name in ink on every dollar bill you accept or send.\nSince the Bitcoin blockchain is public, regular transactions state the user’s address in simple, clear letters. Not writing your name is a good way to not attract stalkers or thieves down the line. O’Beirne said bitcoin is still in its infancy, too immature as a technology to be useful for resisting law enforcement. Beyond fungibility, self-custody is still rare among bitcoin enthusiasts.\n“In reality, maybe 0.1 percent of anybody is going to do that [self-custody],” O’Beirne said. “But having this option is really important.”\nAlong those lines, Tel Aviv Bitcoin Embassy volunteer Sarah Wiesner said batched transactions are becoming more important as governments like her own in Israel ramp upsurveillance measuresin the name of coronavirus containment. She sees learning about such privacy-focused wallets as a routine security step for the real circumstances she lives in.\n“A mixer is not enough, you also need to make your device somewhat safe from mass surveillance,” Wiesner said. “With cash being banned or discouraged [in Tel Aviv], using mixers will be much more important.”\n• State Power After Coronavirus, Feat.

At around 21:30 UTC on Feb. 19, the price ofbitcoin(BTC) fell more than 4.5 percent from $10,086 to $9,610, according to CoinDesk’s BPI data, despite the technical signs appearing to favor thebulls. On exchanges like Bitstamp and Coinbase, prices dropped to as low as $9,280 before quickly being snatched up by opportunistic buyers looking to capitalize on the fall.

Related:Oil Prices Are Now More Volatile Than Bitcoin “I’m a long holder and even I’m shook,” said BTC investor and podcast host Brad Mills in a recenttweet. “That usually means too much exposure,” he added. Indeed, the sell-off caught many traders unawares as the price of BTC shed much of the gains achieved over the last few days, with BTC’s price rising out of a prior area of resistance near $9,483 on Feb. 17 to above $10,000 a day later. So far sellers are intent on keeping prices below hourly resistances near $9,793. That will be a telling sign should prices remain below that level in the coming days, towards the end of the weekly closing session on Feb. 24.

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: ['Catherine Coley is the CEO of Binance.US. Previously she was head of XRP Institutional Liquidity at Ripple after working for Morgan Stanley Foreign Exchange desks in Hong Kong and London.\nAmid the fear and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, theU.S. government is looking for ways to financially support Americans as soon as possible, even discussing the possibility of universal basic income payments. People need help. At the same time, they need to stay home to reduce the risk of contracting the virus. In delivering emergency payments, the government should be aware of the risks of asking people to pick up money at a bank or another physical location. It should distribute any stimulus package in a way that’s sterile, efficient and accessible.\nThe government needs to look for ways to innovate the antiquated process of distributing checks by mail. In the interests of speed and safety, why not consider sending the stimulus in the form of stablecoins as a means to verify the transfer of assets? Because stablecoins can be distributed digitally, Americans would have immediate access to their funds, alleviating the need to spend hours at a bank to cash a check while removing oneself from a self-imposed quarantine.\nRelated:Into the Unknown: No Limit on Fed Money Injections\nSee also:Fed Stands Ready to Replace Infected Greenbacks With Clean Bills\nBecause the digital asset space is new and relatively unknown outside the cryptocurrency community, there would, of course, be some pushback to this idea. A lack of understanding often translates into a lack of trust. Education should go hand in hand with distribution. Both government and citizens would need to be informed about how stablecoins work, how users exchange them into fiat money, and why they could potentially make money transfers easier in the future.\nThe advantages of using stablecoins are numerous. For starters, with digital assets, recipients do not need to own a house or even have a mailbox to receive them.\nDigital assets also prevent counterfeiting or lost checks. President Donald Trump has mentioned the idea of paying this stimulus in multiple installments. Digital assets can be put in escrow to be released at a certain time. Once the asset is addressed to its recipient, that person can send the money to themselves or others without any fees or a waiting period, providing a faster solution than traditional checks.\nRelated:The US Needs a Wartime Effort to Win the Coronavirus Battle\nIf the stimulus were delivered via digital assets, every American with internet access, a Social Security number and proof of address could have the ability to access their stimulus. These assets can be distributed to all persons and tracked by the government on a blockchain. Digital assets would be sent and received through U.S. regulated entities and monitored by financial institutions that are already subject to federal and state laws and regulations.\nBy sending digital assets, the government would free up postal workers and resources needed to create and distribute physical checks or prepaid cards. These physical checks mean cashing or depositing at a time when everyone is expected to stay home. It’s also difficult to monitor possible COVID-19 contagion if mail and bank services are operating locally to process checks.\nWhy would we encourage the hand delivery of hundreds of millions of stimulus checks?\nWhether Americans are self-quarantining or reducing human interaction, we need to actively look for ways to reduce the spread of COVID-19.Why would we encourage the hand delivery of hundreds of millions of stimulus checks? This might even violate the government’s own shelter-in-place procedures.\nDigital assets can connect to existing banking systems without requiring in-person deposits. There are no fees for depositing them into any bank account from a digital marketplace or exchange. Anyone over 18 can access digital funds sent to them online, which would provide a solution for thethousands of college students who cannot go home for fear of spreadingthe disease unintentionally, and for parents who need to stay put. Through digital distribution, not only would the U.S. preserve the health of recipients and senders, it would provide more inclusive access and show the world we are still leaders in financial innovation.\nSee also:How Bitcoiners Can Protect Their Mental Health During the Coronavirus Crisis\nThe cost of sending checks to every citizen is great, even if we consider that the government may be able drive bulk bargains for itself. Consider that mailing checks to 250 million adult citizens, at an estimated cost of 55 cents each, could potentially translate to $138 million. And this does not include labor costs to prepare and deliver that mail, fuel costs for last-mile delivery, and the health and benefits of employees. Nor does it include the fees for return-to-sender services, the costs of correcting any checks incorrectly sent, any staff hired to monitor and confirm the checks are sent appropriately to all persons, or the staff to gather addresses from the IRS. The direct-to-citizen stimulus would already cost about $350 billion. Why should we spend at least $138 million sending it?\nIf the U.S. were to incorporate digital assets into this stimulus distribution, we would be the first-mover globally to use digital assets in such a way, ahead of other countries building their own digital currencies. We would send a clear signal the U.S. is prioritizing its citizens’ health while educating and adapting to this evolving digital world.\n• As This Crisis Worsens, Bitcoin Will Become a Safe Haven Again\n• 4 Reasons Central Banks Should Launch Retail Digital Currencies', 'Catherine Coley is the CEO of Binance.US.

The rapper, who is currently masterminding a self-contained city with a cryptocurrency infrastructure in his native Senegal, has cited the networks track record of assisting entrepreneurs and businesses in developing countries as the leading reason for the decision. The move means the Akoin utility token will be fully compatible with Stellar wallets and interoperable with all digital assets and fiat currencies supported by Stellar. Its a global platform that were building and Africa is our target market because as we see it now, Africa has the most challenges, said the 46-year-old musician. The objective of Akoin and also Akon City is to provide a trusted currency alternative and empower individuals across the worlds youngest population . It is expected that, by 2045, the African workforce will be the largest in the world. Permission to create the 2,000 acre Akon City on land given to him in 2018 by Senegals president Macky Sall was granted last month . Once complete, the self-contained community will trade using the Akoin which is to be launched later this year. The project is based close to the picturesque coastal town of Mbodiene and an hour away from Blaise Diagne International Airport. By the time Akon City is complete, however, Senegals latest international airport will be officially opened just a ten-minute drive away. Groundwork It is understood groundwork on the ambitious scheme has already begun as the musician aims to have the city fully up and running by the end of the decade. Its a 10-year building block, so were doing it in stages, Akon recently explained to Los Angeles radio station Power FM. We started construction in March 2019 and stage two is going to be 2025. Estimates put the cost of constructing the self-sufficient, eco-friendly city at around $2 billion. The singer-turned-entrepreneur whose real name is Aliaume Thiam recently invested heavily in a solar power venture called Akon Lighting Africa which has taken off in many communities, providing 100,000 households with power as well as 13,000 street lights across 14 African nations. As well as cryptocurrency, Akon City will rely heavily on blockchain the technology which underpins Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Speaking at a recent blockchain conference in Malta, the artist pointed to the technology as a huge asset to Africa. I think that blockchain and crypto could be the saviour for Africa in many ways because it brings the power back to the people, he said. Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology offer a more secure currency that enables people in Africa to advance themselves independent of the government.

What Happened The state-owned investment firm sold 99.5% of its 8.2 million shares last year, CNBCreportedTuesday based on a regulatory filing. The Saudi Fund is now left with about 39,000 shares in the automaker that has seen an unprecedented surge in market value this year. It was one of the five largest investors in the Elon Musk-led company, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Why It Matters Tesla’s stock is up about 112% year-till-date at press time. The Saudi sovereign wealth fund’s shares would have been worth about $7.2 billion on Tuesday if it had held on to them. For comparison, the stake would have been worth about $2.6 billion at the end of the third quarter last year. The wealth fund has a controversial history with Tesla and its CEO. Musk had prematurely announced his intent to take the automaker private in 2018 on the back of an investment from the Saudi fund. The move ultimately led to him and Tesla separately paying $20 million in settlement charges to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Musk also had to relinquish his role as the company’s chairman for three years. Musk's infamous 2018 tweet which landed him in trouble with the SEC. The fund had hedged its investment in Tesla in January 2019 with the help ofJPMorgan & Chase(NYSE:JPM), the Financial Timesreportedat the time.

The situation contrasts with last week when the top cryptocurrency by market cap had dropped sharply in tandem with equities and bond yields. Bitcoin (BTC) found bids near $8,800 during Thursdays Asian trading hours and rose above $9,150 later in the day. Since then, prices have largely stayed well above the $9,000 mark. Related: Bitcoins Price Steady Over $9,000 As Sentiment Stays Positive At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $9,100, representing a 2 percent gain on a 24-hour basis, having defended a brief dip to the psychological support of $9,000 at 01:00 UTC on Friday, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index . While bitcoin is looking bullish, the traditional markets are witnessing risk-averse trading, with a slide in equities and a rise in demand for gold and government bonds causing a drop in yields. At press time, major European indices including Germanys DAX, Frances CAC 40 and the U.K.s FTSE 100 are down between 1.5 percent and 2.2 percent. Asian stocks took a beating earlier today, too, while futures on Wall Street benchmark index, the S&P 500, are currently down 1 percent. Furthermore, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is currently trading at record lows below 0.8 percent, representing a 13 basis point drop on the day. Related: Bitcoin News Roundup for March 6, 2020 Gold, the classic safe-haven asset, is currently at an 11-day high of $1,681 per ounce. So its clear investors are selling risk and buying safe havens, likely because the coronavirus outbreak is starting to threaten to become a global pandemic and could cause far greater damage to the world economy than previously expected. Bitcoin a safe haven or risk asset? Bitcoins (much-debated) safe-haven narrative could strengthen again , given the cryptocurrency is flashing green amid the risk aversion in equities and the rising odds of an additional Federal Reserve rate cut. The interest rate market thinks the Fed will again cut rates by 50 basis points at its March 18 policy meeting, having delivered an emergency cut earlier this week . Story continues The crypto market community stands divided on whether bitcoin is a pro-risk or an anti-risk asset. Prominent observers including Anthony Pompliano of Morgan Creek Digital are of the opinion bitcoin is a hedge against monetary easing, while billionaire investor Michael Novogratz believes the cryptocurrency is an anti-risk or safe-haven asset. These arguments, however, could be challenged on the fact that bitcoin failed to score gains during last weeks stock market sell-off. The S&P 500 fell by 4 percent last week and bitcoin tanked by 13 percent in parallel. And while the coronavirus scare dominated market sentiment throughout February, the cryptocurrency suffered an 8.5 percent slide. If we look at the behavior of the bitcoin price over the last couple of weeks, as concerns over a global pandemic have ramped up, it is clear that bitcoin continues to behave more like a high-risk investment than like the safe haven which it promises to be, CoinDesk columnist and co-founder of the Open Money Initiative Jill Carlson noted earlier this week. That said, bitcoin has not had a strong positive correlation with equities either. For instance, the cryptocurrency fell from $13,000 to $6,500 during the second half of 2019, even though the S&P 500 rallied by nearly 10 percent. All in all, bitcoin appears to not be strongly correlated with other asset classes. It could yet become a safe haven, although that would require a deep investment in education, according to Carlson. From a technical analysis perspective, the cryptocurrency looks set to extend the ongoing rise toward higher resistance levels. 4-hour chart Bitcoin bounced up from $9,000 early Friday (marked by arrow), reinforcing the case for a rally to $9,550 put forward by an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout confirmed on Thursday. The breakout is also backed by an above-50 or bullish reading on the relative strength index. Daily chart Bitcoin is looking north with the MACD histogram producing higher lows in favor of the bulls. Further, the five-day average has crossed above the 10-day average, signaling a bullish shift in sentiment. Resistance at $9,312 (Feb. 4 low) could be put to test over the weekend. A violation there would expose the inverse head-and-shoulders breakout target of $9,550. Alternatively, if prices find acceptance under the former hurdle-turned-support of the inverse head-and-shoulders neckline $9,000, some buyers may exit the market, yielding a pullback to the 200-day average at $8,704. A close under $8,410 (Sundays low) is needed to invalidate the bullish reversal doji pattern confirmed on March 2. That would signal a continuation of the drop from February highs near $10,500.

The OCC announced Brooks’ appointment Monday, saying U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin designated Brooks as the new deputy effective April 1, 2020. Brooks, a former Fannie Mae executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary , has served as chief legal officer at Coinbase since September 2018. Mnuchin said in a statement he looks forward to working with Brooks to ensure “the stability of our financial system.” Related: Coinbase Card Users Can Now Make Crypto-Backed Payments With Google Pay The OCC is responsible for for supervising and regulating national banks and financial institutions within the U.S. Established in 1863, the independent entity ensures banks are meeting capital and risk requirements, according to Investopedia . Current Comptroller of the Currency Joseph Otting, who was nominated by U.S. President Donald Trump and sworn in in 2017, said in a statement that Brooks “brings an extensive career of legal, banking and financial innovation expertise to the agency.” “He is a visionary thinker with a passion for service and a deep understanding of how the financial services industry supports our nation’s prosperity. We are fortunate to attract such an experienced and talented individual to join our federal agency,” Otting said. Indeed, Brooks has been a vocal proponent of developing a private digital currency for the U.S., writing in Fortune Magazine last year that private corporations are best suited to building a digital dollar.

We’re always proud of Coinbase alumni who go on to serve in government, bringing a crypto-friendly perspective with them,” the spokesperson said. Zack Seward contributed reporting.

MakerDAOannouncedThursday Coinbase Commerce had integrated dai as a payment method, opening the cryptocurrency up to affiliated online merchants and online commerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce. The integration will introduce “merchants to a growing segment of the cryptocurrency market, allowing them to bridge the gap between DeFi dapp entrepreneurs and their own “real world” businesses,” according to the blog post. Related:Binance Adds 15 Fiat Currencies as Exchange Pushes Global Expansion Coinbase Commerce is a free-to-use service for online retailers, allowing them to integrate cryptocurrency into their businesses. Starting out with bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), bitcoin cash (BCH) and litecoin (LTC), the platform has only added support for USDC – the stablecoin created by Circle and Coinbase as part of the CENTRE consortium – since its February 2018 launch. CoinDesk has approached Coinbase for comment and will update this article if we hear back. With the new integration, merchants will also be able to earn interest on any received dai by transferring it into a Dai Savings Rate (DSR) smart contract on the maker protocol. The DSR interest rate was raised to 7.5 percent by community vote earlier in February. MakerDAO says the integration will boost perceptions of dai and, potentially, bring increased adoption.

Please consider this coming from a purely pattern matching perspective as I don\'t know much about TA or candle sticks.\n\n[Figure 1 - Comparing Crises](https://i.imgur.com/xiPVlF5.png)\n\nComparing the crises, we can see that with a crash comes a relief followed by another dip. This seems true for most other dips of various scales and often grouped as fractal patterns. One such example at a finer scale being the following:\n\n[Figure 2 - Dip comparison](https://i.imgur.com/HgOy2l0.jpg)\n\nThis also shows that after a dip of "sufficient" magnitude, the price tends to bounce down to the local bottom again. This leads me to believe we will go lower during the next week. Perhaps back to 5\\~5.5k with a large wick or two above and below if I were to make a guess. Here are some other recent patterns I found matching the current dip:\n\n[Figure 3 - Barts](https://i.imgur.com/IKVHXzF.png)\n\nMy reasoning behind why these patterns / fractals repeat is because the collective psychology behind such events are usually the same, albeit at different magnitudes and scale. In this particular case, it seems well known enough to be termed an [Adam and Eve Double Top](http://thepatternsite.com/aedt.html). If this happens to be true, it also indicates we\'re heading a bit lower than where we are now.\n\nSince this sub seems open to TA, I also wanted to share some predictions on an algorithmic TA of sorts I\'ve been using. I find the rigorous back testing capabilities of number crunching a bit more appealing than the subjective qualities of a traditional TA approach.\n\n[Figure 4 - Algorithmic Trends](https://i.imgur.com/YilevZX.png)\n\nIts a layered regression (or heavily customized NN, if you can even call it that anymore) that works on extracting periodic movements and trends in time series data. It looks 15 days into the future and while the accuracy decreases the further into the future it goes on a finer time scale, it also indicates that we are currently entering a downtrend as well.\n\nTo summarize, I believe we are heading lower next week.

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 fell by 1.91% on Saturday. Following on from a 5.66% slide on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $6,250.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $6,068.4 before finding support. Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $6,300 and the first major support level at $6,130.20 before recovering to $6,300 levels. The recovery was brief, however, with Bitcoin sliding to a late afternoon intraday low $6,050.0. Bitcoin fell back through the 23.6% FIB of $6,300 and the first major support level at $6,130.20. Late in the day, Bitcoin hit a high $6,301.2 before falling easing back to end the day in the deep red. The 23.6% FIB pinned Bitcoin back late on. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Cardano’s ADA (+3.49%), EOS (+0.64%), Litecoin (+1.94%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.72%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.81%) ended the day in the green. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, with Bitcoin Cash SV falling by 3.80% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-1.29%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.92%), Ethereum (-0.16%), Monero’s XMR (-0.04%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.52%), and Tezos (-1.38%) also saw red. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $163.00bn to a Wednesday high $191.26bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $174.92bn. Bitcoin’s dominance hit 66% levels on Monday before falling to 62% levels. Bitcoin saw its dominance recover, however, to hover at around the 66% mark mid-week before sliding back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.9%. Trading volumes jumped from $130bn levels on Monday to $168.2bn levels on Tuesday before easing back to sub-$110bn levels on Thursday. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $112.59bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.69% to $6,206.8. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $6,280.0 before falling to a low $6,189.1. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. Tron’s TRX and Stellar’s Lumen fell by 1.52% and by 1.31% respectively to lead the way down early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,230 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $6,397.93 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the 23.6% FIB of $6,300. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the 23.6% FIB would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. Failure to move through to $6,230 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through to the morning low $6,181.1 would bring the first major support level at $6,076.03 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer well clear of the second major support level at $5,902.07.

Trading of S&P 500 futures were halted Sunday following a5% decline,indicating U.S. stocks will plunge at market open. The panic selling followed the largest one-day decline in oil prices in 30 years, which was set-off bya breakdown in conversations between OPECand Russia to cut crude output. The outlook for the oil market is bleak, according to Goldman Sachs. In a note to clients, the investment bank cut its second quarter and third quarter estimate for oil prices to $20 a barrel. The jitters in oil are underpinned by broader market concerns about the economic ramifications of the ever-spreading corona-virus, which surpassed more than 100,000 confirmed cases over the weekend. Italy, a country reeling from its inability to control the virus outbreak, is limiting travel to the most impacted regions. Indeed, investors have been seeking safety over the course of the last month, fleeing risk assets from bitcoin to stocks. As such, the yield for30-year U.S. Teasury fell below 1%for the first time in history, while the 10-year hit a record low of less than 0.4%. Experts expect the Federal Reserve will once again slash interest rates to curb corona's fall-out. Investment banks such as Citigroup and Goldman Sachs have been sounding the alarm bells, noting in research to clients that market turmoil might continue until the end of the year. "The US economy could slip into a recession if the coronavirus contagion lasts for an extended period of time," Goldman Sachs said in a note reviewed by The Block. "In that situation, we estimate S&P 500 EPS would fall by 13% to $143 in 2020 and the index would decline to 2450 by year-end." The index ended Friday's trade at around 2,972, a more than 12% decline since February 19. As for bitcoin, the price of the digital currency—which has been lauded as both a safe haven and uncorrelated asset by some market pontificators—has largely been in lock-step with the broader market. It has dipped below $8,000 Monday morning, trading down more than 12% since Saturday. Meanwhile, CME Group Bitcoin futures — arguably the easiest product for traditional traders, hedge funds, and large asset managers to get exposure to bitcoin — had seen volumes fall off a cliff since breaching $1 billion in traded volume the day before the S&P500 peaked. The 7-day rolling average trading volume of CME bitcoin futures is down more than 75% since then.... - 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: ['(Bloomberg Opinion) -- If the recent selloff in markets proves anything, it’s that for too many years too many people were focused solely on returns with zero consideration for risk or safety. The last time anyone really thought about safety in markets was during the financial crisis more than a decade ago, when investors couldn’t get enough government bonds or cash.\nBut as the economy recovered, so did investors’ appetite for risk. A sort of cult of equity developed, with the unshakable belief that stocks would keep going up, and if they ever went down – which they did fairly sharply in the second half of 2015 and the end of 2018 - they would always come back – which they always did. “Buy the dip” became an actual strategy. The American Association of Individual Investors found that its members had an almost 66% allocation to stocks in December, up from 41% at the bottom of the financial crisis.\nMore importantly, the definition of safe morphed as stocks soared to new heights. If you went to your financial advisor and told him or her that your risk tolerance was low, he or she probably would have put your money in a portfolio of stocks that had a history of rising, not because they had any defensive qualities. But as we have seen this month, all stocks can go down with equal ferocity. That cult of equity has been shattered – perhaps permanently.\nThe prevailing feature of this bear market is that nothing has really been safe. If you had any exposure to bonds, it was probably in the form of investment grade or high-yield, high-risk debt, which were down almost as much as stocks until the stimulus packages from the government and Federal Reserve. And nobody contemplated a scenario where municipal bonds would not be safe. General obligation munis are backed by the unlimited taxing power of municipalities, but yet they were not spared, and that market ceased functioning.\nU.S. Treasury notes and bonds did provide some diversification benefits, but only to a point. After yields bottomed a couple of weeks ago, a massive unwinding of certain trades and the promise of massive government borrowing to fund the fiscal rescue plan drove yields higher. For decades, bonds mixed with stocks was good enough to achieve diversification, but will probably be less useful going forward.\nGold has been a bit of a disappointment. The whole reason people buy it is for situations like this, and it hasn’t worked, initially taking a big dive from about $1,680 an ounce to $1,471 in a matter of weeks. Although something similar happened in the last crisis, with gold peaking early at $1,000 as Bear Stearns collapsed, and then proceed to go down as the financial system unraveled, before finally turning and surging to $1,900. Although gold has rebounded somewhat, those expecting gold to go up when stocks went down were let down. Similarly, Bitcoin has also been less than underwhelming. The digital currency, which sometimes trades like a haven asset, has mostly traded as a risk asset instead, though it has also recovered somewhat just like with gold.\nMoney market funds are struggling to avoid a situation like what happened in 2008, when the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy caused the Reserve Primary fund to “break the buck,” which led to a run on money market funds. The commercial paper market is smaller than it used to be, but money market and ultrashort duration bond funds don’t strike me as very safe here without help from the Fed.\nOnly Treasury bills or cash would have provided you with the safety you desired. But cash has its own set of issues and concerns. If you have more than $250,000 in one bank, there is a chance that it’s not entirely safe, either, which people were forced to think about in 2008. Also, it looks like the government and the Fed will be dropping money out of helicopters, and people are - perhaps prematurely - starting to talk about inflation again. So on a long-term basis, cash makes less sense.\nAs for as the safety of different investment vehicles, exchange-traded funds that own bonds are again taking heat for trading at a significant discount to their underlying assets (though I wrote about this a few years ago, and it is a feature, not a bug, of ETFs). And we are again looking at a situation where there is a possibility that open-end mutual funds might gate redemptions for liquidity reasons.\nAll of this forces an investor to ask themselves what is safe? Is anything really safe? The days of dollar-cost-averaging a standard portfolio where 80% is invested in stocks and 20% is invested in bonds and watching your money grow at 10% a year and end up with a few million dollars at retirement are likely over. Returns will undoubtedly be lower, forcing people to save more and consume less—which is not what is needed for an economic recovery.\nMy beliefs about risk were shaped years ago reading books such as “The Black Swan” and “The (Mis)behavior of Markets,” which focused on ideas like how financial markets follow a power-law distribution, and not a normal distribution, and that markets are vulnerable to large, unforeseen events. Knowing this, you try to build a portfolio that gives you a modicum of exposure to the upside, but truncates your exposure to the downside.\nThe bears and the financial doomsday preppers were widely ridiculed during the bull market. I won’t say they have been vindicated, but people’s perception of risk has been forever altered.\nThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg LP and its owners.\nJared Dillian is the editor and publisher of The Daily Dirtnap, investment strategist at Mauldin Economics, and the author of "Street Freak" and "All the Evil of This World."

A sort of cult of equity developed, with the unshakable belief that stocks would keep going up, and if they ever went down – which they did fairly sharply in the second half of 2015 and the end of 2018 - they would always come back – which they always did. “Buy the dip” became an actual strategy. The American Association of Individual Investors found that its members had an almost 66% allocation to stocks in December, up from 41% at the bottom of the financial crisis. More importantly, the definition of safe morphed as stocks soared to new heights. If you went to your financial advisor and told him or her that your risk tolerance was low, he or she probably would have put your money in a portfolio of stocks that had a history of rising, not because they had any defensive qualities. But as we have seen this month, all stocks can go down with equal ferocity. That cult of equity has been shattered – perhaps permanently. The prevailing feature of this bear market is that nothing has really been safe. If you had any exposure to bonds, it was probably in the form of investment grade or high-yield, high-risk debt, which were down almost as much as stocks until the stimulus packages from the government and Federal Reserve. And nobody contemplated a scenario where municipal bonds would not be safe. General obligation munis are backed by the unlimited taxing power of municipalities, but yet they were not spared, and that market ceased functioning. U.S. Treasury notes and bonds did provide some diversification benefits, but only to a point. After yields bottomed a couple of weeks ago, a massive unwinding of certain trades and the promise of massive government borrowing to fund the fiscal rescue plan drove yields higher. For decades, bonds mixed with stocks was good enough to achieve diversification, but will probably be less useful going forward. Story continues Gold has been a bit of a disappointment. The whole reason people buy it is for situations like this, and it hasn’t worked, initially taking a big dive from about $1,680 an ounce to $1,471 in a matter of weeks. Although something similar happened in the last crisis, with gold peaking early at $1,000 as Bear Stearns collapsed, and then proceed to go down as the financial system unraveled, before finally turning and surging to $1,900. Although gold has rebounded somewhat, those expecting gold to go up when stocks went down were let down. Similarly, Bitcoin has also been less than underwhelming. The digital currency, which sometimes trades like a haven asset, has mostly traded as a risk asset instead, though it has also recovered somewhat just like with gold. Money market funds are struggling to avoid a situation like what happened in 2008, when the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy caused the Reserve Primary fund to “break the buck,” which led to a run on money market funds. The commercial paper market is smaller than it used to be, but money market and ultrashort duration bond funds don’t strike me as very safe here without help from the Fed. Only Treasury bills or cash would have provided you with the safety you desired. But cash has its own set of issues and concerns. If you have more than $250,000 in one bank, there is a chance that it’s not entirely safe, either, which people were forced to think about in 2008. Also, it looks like the government and the Fed will be dropping money out of helicopters, and people are - perhaps prematurely - starting to talk about inflation again. So on a long-term basis, cash makes less sense.

James Bond wore it in “Thunderball,” although his featured a miniature Geiger counter. The company has rereleased the watch, black and white “panda” face and all, to a new generation and it’s doing something a bit different this time. Instead of offering a certificate of authenticity, the company is registering each watch on a private blockchain that will follow its provenance from owner to owner. As such, it’s a rare example of an enterprise blockchain project that made its way to real-world deployment; most corporate dabbling with distributed ledgers has resulted in little more than hype. Related: Bitcoin News Roundup for March 30, 2020 “The Breitling Top Time Limited Edition will be the brand’s first watch offered with a blockchain-based digital passport, which confirms the authenticity and ownership of the watch with a single click,” the company said in a press release. Breitling is using a blockchain from valuables registrar Arianee , a French company whose aim is to build “perpetual relationships between brands and owners.” The solution ties the watch’s warranty to the watch itself and not to any paper trail, allowing owners to have their pieces serviced by authorized dealers based on the watch’s digital signature. The Arianee blockchain combines permissioned and permissionless elements through its use of a consensus mechanism it’s calling “proof-of-authority.” It is permissionless in the sense that users who want to sell products to one another can interact with the blockchain, but the verifying of the ledger and issuance of tokens is controlled by the participating businesses. Breitling, founded in 1884, is being a good sport about the project, saying the system allows users to “engage with the brand anonymously” and take part in “new online services ranging from advanced clienteling to a revolutionary care program.” Related: Old Rivals Oracle and IBM Want Their Blockchains to Talk to Each Other The watch nerd will note that the Top Time has a linear scale on its bezel instead of a tachymeter . This is called a decimal scale and was offered on some watches in the 1960s. It was, apparently , used for scientific timings, splitting each minute into 100 sections rather than the usual 60. The watch costs $4,990, or about 80 percent of the current price of one bitcoin . Breitling, one of the first manufacturers to offer online sales , is shipping the Top Time this month.

The top cryptocurrency fell by nearly 10 percent from $8,900 to $8,000 on Sunday to register its single-biggest daily decline since September 2019, according to Bitstamp data. Then on Monday, bitcoin (BTC) slipped further to two-month lows below $7,700 during the Asian trading hours. At press time, the cryptocurrency’s global average price, as calculated by CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index, has recovered somewhat to $7,925. Related:Bitcoin Back Over $8K as Traditional Markets Rebound While the sudden price drop has taken place alongside abloody day in the traditional markets, there may be another factor driving down bitcoin’s value so severely. “The sudden drop in prices seems to arise out of the selling of BTC by PlusToken,” Ashish Singhal, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange CoinSwitch.co told CoinDesk. On Saturday, scammers in control of the remaining wallets of the China-based Ponzi scheme moved 13,000 BTC (worth around $101 million currently, but close to $120 million at the time) to so-called “mixers” and may have offloaded their holdings, causing prices to fall sharply, according to Singhal. Mixers are used to obfuscate the source of a crypto transaction by outputting batches with different coins than are sent in. PlusToken had posed as a cryptocurrency wallet and swindled investors out of possibly as much as $2 billion in cryptocurrency by promising rewards. While six of its masterminds were arrested in June 2019, the authorities could not seize 180,000 BTC, 6,400,000ether(ETH) and 111,000 tether (USDT), which were sent from scam victims to PlusToken wallets,according to Chainalysis. Related:Kraken Exchange Pledges India Expansion as Nation Reopens for Crypto Business Trader Kevin Svenson has alsoassociatedthe latest price drop with PlusToken holdings being dumped into the market. People in control of the PlusToken walletshave been liquidatingtheir stolen bitcoins since August and likely played a big role in pushing bitcoin down from $12,000 to $6,500 in the four months to November. asnoted byErgo Research at the time. Back in December, the scammers still controlled 20,000 bitcoins, of which, 13,000 look to have been moved for liquidation over the weekend. The onchain activity on Saturday wasagain notedby Ergo Research: Some, of course, may argue that moving coins to mixers does not necessarily result in liquidation and the sell-off seen from Sunday was caused by the coronavirus-led crash in the global financial markets. Indeed, negative global macro factors – such as the equity market sell-off and record low in the U.S. government bond yield – may have also played a role in pushing bitcoin lower, asnoted bypopular analyst Jacob Canfield. Still, a major PlusToken liquidation could well have weighed heavy over bitcoin’s price if it did occur. The cryptocurrency was trading steadily above $9,000 on Saturday as the scammed coins were being moved to mixers and fell sharply the following day. Further, traditional markets were closed over the weekend. Canfield too listed a PlusToken dump as one of the factors possibly responsible for bitcoin’s price drop. So how did bitcoin’s price drop look from a technical perspective? “Bitcoin needed higher prices on the 4-hour chart to get itself into a neutral stance between $9,200-$9,600,” popular Twitter analystMr. Andersontold CoinDesk. “Once that battle was lost it left the 12-hour chart in an ugly position as well and things snowballed quickly,” Anderson said. In the aftermath, the head-and-shoulders breakdown, a bearish reversal pattern, seen on the daily chart suggests the rally from December lows near $6,400 has ended and the bears have regained control. The bias will remain bearish as long as prices are holding below the former support-turned-resistance of the neckline, currently placed at $8,450. A bullish reversal now requires a convincing UTC close above the March 7 high of $9,213. That would invalidate the lower-highs setup.

The use of manipulative strategies has seen the unregulated nature of cryptocurrencies rear its ugly head once again, with a trader or set of traders ‘spoofing’ a $50 million buy order on BitMEX to entice people into buying before pulling the order. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently posted an update about spoofing to its social media channels, pleading with traders to whistleblow on colleagues who were suspected of engaging in price manipulation. The post reads: “[Spoofing] is when a trader has the intent to manipulate prices by entering orders and then cancelling them to give an artificial impression of market conditions. “It is a form of market manipulation punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment per violation. Traders ‘spoof’ when they place an order in a futures market with the intention to cancel the order prior to execution.” BitMEX warned for not being authorised to operate by the FCA in the UK. Not a good day to see clear spoofing return to the order books as price breaks to the upside. https://t.co/3NUAAnybUE — Oliver Knight (@KnightCoinRivet) March 5, 2020 The technique was also seen on BitMEX throughout February’s rally to $10,500, although it has been going on since the 2017 bull run with cases being reported in September 2018. Due to Bitcoin exchanges being largely unregulated, there is no way to prevent or clamp down on illicit trading techniques. The SEC and CFTC in the US could impose rules to safeguard investors but BitMEX is inaccessible across all 50 states. In the UK, meanwhile, the Financial Conduct Authority has issued a warning to BitMEX for “carrying on regulated activities which require authorisation”. “This firm is not authorised by us and is targeting people in the UK,” the statement read, before warning investors to “be especially wary of dealing with this unauthorised firm and how to protect yourself from scammers”. Responding to the FCA warning, a BitMEX spokesman said the company was already seeking advice. “We are working closely with our advisers to assess the situation,” they told Coin Rivet. “There is nothing more we can add at this time.” Story continues Bitcoin price Having broken above the daily 200 moving average and the $8,830 level of resistance Bitcoin is now setting its sights on the $9,330 level ahead of a potential move towards $10,000. However, in order to confirm a breakout this evening’s daily candle needs to close above $8,830, with a drawdown below that point marking a clear rejection. The price of Bitcoin has risen intriguingly alongside global equity markets, all of which slumped dramatically last week as fears grow surrounding a coronavirus pandemic.

Many bullish investment theses for bitcoin are grounded in expectations that the upcoming halving of block rewards will cause the bitcoin (BTC) price to increase. Previous supply constrictions, from 50 BTC to 25 BTC and 25 BTC to, where we currently stand, at 12.5 BTC, have had that effect. Still, given the rare nature of these events, our data points are limited and increase the anticipation and speculation around upcoming halving some time in May 2020. There are many great pieces on the mechanics of a BTC halving and how they were described in the original white paper and subsequently coded into the structure of bitcoin. So I will assume familiarity with these concepts going forward as we try to understand the supply constriction narrative of the halving thesis. Related: Corporate America Knows the Bailout Is Baked In See also: Bitcoin Halving, Explained Unfortunately, many investors are pointing to the halving as a catalyst for a price increase in the face of a difficult bitcoin market, which has had three straight quarters of negative returns, and have set sky high expectations for what sort of price action we may see after. I certainly believe that the halving will have a positive impact on price, but I am concerned by investors expecting parabolic gains in the fashion of 2017. As it currently stands, the bullish thesis around the halving is that as block rewards get cut in half, the number of miners able to sustain their operations will decline. Since fewer BTC are being brought into circulation, there should also be some reduced sell pressure as miners often sell BTC to fund operations in their local currency. One could then conclude that the supply constriction will allow the price to appreciate. While I generally believe this thesis to be sound, I think it hinges on the assumption that a drop in block rewards will force miners offline, and that demand for bitcoin will not decline and this merits further analysis.

The President and bipartisan legislators have suggested that the telecom giant spies for Beijing. The Department of Commerce put Huawei on the "entity list" in May last year, which severely restricts its ability to do business with U.S. companies. Huawei's U.S. chief security officer told the Journal that America would hurt itself by sidelining the company, as it gets left behind on technology.

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 rose by 1.96% on Thursday. Following on from a 3.83% rally on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $6,810.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $6,580 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $6,327.83, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $7,283.5. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $6,874.33 and the second major resistance level at $7,073.67. The first visit to $7,000 levels since 12 th March was short-lived, however, with Bitcoin sliding back to sub-$7,000 levels. The pullback saw Bitcoin fall through the major resistance levels to limit the upside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was also a bullish day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.33%) and Monero’s XMR (+4.12%) led the way on Thursday. Binance Coin (+2.11%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.84%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.86%), Ethereum (+3.96%), Tezos (+2.81%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.81%) also found strong support. EOS (+1.28%), Litecoin (+1.63%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.53%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.16%) trailed the back. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $168.04bn to a Thursday high $197.15bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $191.02bn. Bitcoin’s dominance eased back to sub-65% levels following Tuesday’s modest gain before bouncing back to visit 66% levels on Thursday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 65.4%. 24-hour trading volumes recovered from sub-$100bn levels last Sunday to hit $158bn levels on Thursday. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $144.90bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.01% to $6,810.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $6,730.1 before striking a high $6,844.7. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+1.10%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.54%), and Tezos (+1.35%) led the way early on. Ripple’s XRP fell by 0.27% to buck the trend early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,900 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,202.8 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,000 levels. Barring another crypto rally, resistance at $7,000 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. Failure to move back through to $6,900 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through the morning low $6,730.1 would bring the first major support level at $6,499.3 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer of the 23.6% FIB of $6,300.

Last month’s crash in cryptocurrency prices has prompted manufacturers to sell inventories at a discount, in some cases as steep as 20 percent, over the past few weeks. Both the newest models and slightly older machines have been marked down. Complicating the matter is the imminent bitcoin (BTC) halving in May that will reduce the network’s mining reward by half, causing most miners to be less profitable if bitcoin’s price doesn’t increase significantly by then.

After bitcoin’s March 12 crash – the worst sell-off in seven years – the price is now cut by 20 percent to $2,000 per unit. The WhatsMiner M20S, a less advanced but popular model that boosted MicroBT’s market share against major rival Bitmain in 2019, is also seeing a 20 percent price cut from $1,679 to now $1,340, DJ Miner’s website shows . Pangolinminers, another distributor for MicroBT shows similar pricing rollbacks on its website. Similarly, while Bitmain is advertising $1,567 for its AntMiner S17+ with a computing power of 67 terahashes per second, various resellers are posting quotes on WeChat seen by CoinDesk at around $1,300 per unit.

See also: How Bitcoin’s Price Slump Is Changing the Geography of Mining Efficient market It is important to note that most specialized bitcoin computers, known as ASICs, had already been dropping in price since the fourth quarter of last year, as the manufacturers adjusted their strategies in line with bitcoin’s price swing. Story continues These machines are priced assuming it would take the buyer on average 15 months to make back their equipment investment. Holding the payback period relatively constant, manufacturers would adjust the prices of their equipment according to bitcoin’s market price and the level of competition on the network – the two factors that determine how much revenue a miner can generate in a day. Miner pricing data compiled by research startup TokenInsight shows that, for example, the Whatsminer M20S and the AntMiner S17 Pro were priced at around $2,400 and $3,000, respectively, in mid-October 2019. The price for both had dropped to around $1,500 as of March 10.

That was the question posed by Blockstream’s Selene Jin at the Advancing Bitcoin conference in London on Thursday, in a room with some of the most hardcore bitcoiners on the planet. Jin pointed out that bitcoiners on Twitter tend to argue that: “Normies don’t understand money, have no long-term vision or the ability to think outside the box.” Related:Bitcoin Takes a Dive After the Longest Daily Winning Run Since September But she has a different opinion of what’s holding back broader adoption. More “normies” might use bitcoin if the user experience (UX) was better, if – in Silicon Valley tech speak – they were “delighted” to use the apps and felt “empowered” by them, she argued. Jin’s comments at the two-day event spoke to the difficulty of moving the needle on crypto adoption, even with 11 years under bitcoin’s belt. “Bitcoin UX improved a lot [over the years]. But there are ways we can improve that to push bitcoin even further,” Jin, Blockstream’s director of UX, said. She argued that most developers try to build an app with the features they want themselves, which isn’t necessarily what the average Joe is looking for. UX is often overlooked in bitcoin’s often very technical community. Jin argued that bitcoiners are fascinated by the new currency for a variety of reasons: monetary revolution, technological exploration and getting rich. (She’s in it for all three, she said.) Related:Why Cypherpunk Witches Love Bitcoin “I’m trying to help fix the user experience here because if we don’t do that, these three things can’t happen,” Jin said. With the halving around the corner, it could be a particularly good time to focus on improving bitcoin’s user experience. If the price goes up (which is still a big “if” that people are debating profusely), it could bring in a lot of new users, as is the pattern for bitcoin over the past decade. “Think of it like ‘Hungry Hungry Hippos,'” Coinfloor exchange founder and CEO Obi Nwosu said in a panel, referencing the 1980s children’s game. “When it comes, each exchange will be trying to get as many customers as possible. We need a service that deals with their requirements,” he added, nodding to Jin’s talk. One little-known proposal discussed at the event was to make memorizing bitcoin addresses as easy as memorizing a phone number. Right now that’s far from the case. Instead of being fewer than 10 digits, bitcoin addresses, where bitcoin is stored and transaction IDs are long, random strings of letters and numbers. “There is no way anyone can memorize it – unless you’re someone who memorizes digits of pi for fun. These IDs are always communicated by copy and paste,” bitcoin developer and educator Jimmy Song said. That’s why, when he saw a proposal for EasyPaySy posted to the bitcoin developeremail list, he was intrigued. EasyPaySy allows these accounts to be represented in a much easier form, as short and human-readable as a phone number or as readable as an email address. This approach isn’t without downsides. It would require more data to be stored on the bitcoin blockchain (the more slimmed down, the easier it is for more users to run). Plus, users potentially have to spend more time backing up such accounts. One attendee argued that the debacle involving economist and bitcoin critic Peter Schiff recently “losing his bitcoin password” showed that taking care of one’s bitcoin is already hard enough as is for many people. Still, Song argued that the benefits might outweigh the disadvantages. But user-facing improvements aren’t the only changes being considered. Many UX improvements start at the lowest levels of the bitcoin code. The faster developers can build new features, the faster they can bubble up to users. This realm of UX problems was probably the biggest focus of Advancing Bitcoin. One such improvement revolves around “testnet,” a network that’s like a dummy clone of bitcoin where developers test their apps and new bitcoin features to get a better idea of how they’ll work in the real world. Bitcoin Core contributor Kalle Alm has beenbuilding SigNet, an alternative that he describes as “testnet, but without all the broken parts.” The network is notoriously unreliable and “reorgs” all the time, an event where transactions that were considered legit for a short time, aren’t anymore. This bump is much less common on the real bitcoin network. Plus, there are people mining testnet coins and earning no money from it, since the mined dummy coins are supposed to be free. Alm argues there isn’t a point to this, since decentralization, achieved with the help of mining, isn’t really required on testnet. “I don’t even know what [testnet miners] are doing. No government is gonna come in and say, ‘Give me the test coins!'” Alm said. With these problems fixed, Alm thinks SigNet could play a big role in testing network-wide features added to bitcoin. For example, developers could soon use it to test Schnorr and Taproot, a privacy and scalability-focused bundle of changes that’s been making progress this year. But SigNet is just the tip of the iceberg. New bitcoin smart contract languageMiniscript, unveiled last year, was the subject of several talks at the conference. Smart contracts require various conditions to be met in order to unlock and send funds, such as not allowing bitcoins to be sent up until a certain day. Bitcoin’s built-in smart contract language Script is notoriously difficult to use, but Miniscript makes it easier for more developers to give it a shot, with the potential of making these smart contracts more available for more users.

The extension will give users access to .crypto domain names directly from the Chrome browser, currently the most-used web browser. Developed by Unstoppable Domains, .crypto domains are smart contracts on the Ethereum network, meaning to take down a site an attacker would have to take down the overall network. The new tool closely follows Unstoppable Domains’eponymous browser launch, unveiled at the ETHDenver conference in late February. Related:The Domain Startups Building an Uncensorable Internet on Top of Ethereum But the two-year-old ethereum-based startup –backed by $4 millionin Tim Draper seed funding and driven by its founders’ goal to get ahead of global censorship – always aimed higher than being a browser builder, according to founder Brad Kam. “We don’t intend to be a browser company, nor do we want to be a browser company,” said founder Brad Kam. “We want browsers to support the decentralized web and we wanted to provide a developer tool that could help inspire that.” Releasing a chrome browser extension will help Unstoppable Domains’ visibility and likely market penetration, too. Kam declined to say how many times the Unstoppable browser had been downloaded since its launch a few weeks back, but it surely pales in comparison to Chrome’s global dominance; the Google release represented58 percent of the marketin March, according to W3counter.com. Related:Google Reinstates Bitcoin Rewards Game Suspended for ‘Deceptive Practices’ A Chrome extension comes with risks. Google has been known to lash out at crypto applications, content and extensions in the past: it took the Meta Mask wallet down last year only to reinstate it, without explanation. While Kam admits there’s no way to stop this type of censorship, he insists that he’s not concerned. “Even if Chrome were to do that, which would be unfortunate, that would make it slightly less convenient for some users, but it would not stop the decentralized web,” he said. • Developers Say Google Play Unfairly Booted Their Bitcoin Rewards Game • Coinbase Hires Google VP as Chief Product Officer... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Equity fundraising decreased by less, showing only an 18 percent drop. The rise of bitcoin in the second and third quarter of 2019 didn’t stave off the funding drop, and the industry should assume going into 2020 that the global economic downturn will further affect funding deals, the report said.\nRelated:‘They Have the Users’: Binance CEO Explains Why He Bought CoinMarketCap\nLast year did see a doubling of corporate venture capital involvement, taking up 6 percent of the deals.

A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,151.6 to a high $7,393.1. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bullish start to the day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with gains of 8.92% and 15.73% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $7,393.1 to bring the first major resistance level at $7,408.87 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,400 levels Barring another crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Tuesday’s high $7,454.3 would likely pin Bitcoin back. Failure to move back through the morning high could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall back through to sub-$7,250 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,042.57 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer of sub-$7,000 levels.

It’s a common refrain heard these days from bitcoin bulls: The U.S. dollar and other currencies will eventually be debased by the injections of trillions of dollars of coronavirus-related aid and monetary stimulus by governments and central banks. That should, theoretically, strengthen the case for bitcoin, the oldest and largest cryptocurrency, as a hedge against inflation. You’re readingFirst Mover, CoinDesk’s daily markets newsletter.

We follow the money so you don’t have to. You cansubscribe here. Related:Blockchain Bites: Major Crypto Players Sued, Steem Froze Accounts and More Such predictions might eventually come true, but for now bitcoin investors are stuck in a holding pattern: The cryptocurrency pushed above $7,000 on Monday, but for the past couple weeks it has struggled to hold that level, which it hasn’t reliably traded above since early March. “A nice recovery from the lows leaves investors hopeful,” cryptocurrency analysis firmArcane Research wrote Friday in a report. “However, this is not yet reflected in the market sentiment.” Any inflation stemming from fiscal and monetary stimulus could take a while to appear – partly because of higher unemployment and a drop-off in economic demand could relieve upward pressure on consumer prices in the near term. In the U.S. alone, roughly 10 million new unemployment claims were filed during the last two full weeks of March, and JPMorgan economists predict that a report this week will reveal another seven million claims were filed last week. Bank of America says the lack of an effective policy response to control the spread of the virus will push 2020 global growth to a contraction of 2.7 percent, instead of an expansion of 0.3 percent. Nic Carter, a partner at Castle Island Ventures and co-founder of the blockchain analytics startup CoinMetrics, wrote last week for CoinDesk that the devaluation of money “does not happen immediately, but over time.” Related:Introducing CoinDesk’s All-New Newsletters The 2008 financial crisis prompted the Federal Reserve to double total assets in a matter of weeks, and then doubled the size of the balance sheet again to more than $4 trillion over the next few years. But it took the money supply, as measured by M2, more than 12 years to double, at least partly because of low demand for loans in the years after the crisis. The bitcoin market’s tepid reaction thus far to the Federal Reserve’s announcement of essentiallyunbounded quantitative easingmight disappoint some bitcoiners who are looking for a faster pump. Sylvain Saurel, author of the blogIn Bitcoin We Trust, wrote last week that a separate move by U.S. regulators to reduce bank reserve requirements could lead to new money creation “ad infinitum.” “This unprecedented currency devaluation in such a short period of time has been decided by the Federal Reserve in a totally arbitrary manner,” Saurel wrote. His conclusion, essentially, was that people should buy bitcoin. Jay Hao, CEO of the Malta-based cryptocurrency exchange OKEx, wrote last weekin a blog postthat “more proactive measures” would be needed beyond “QE infinity.” Those could include a new “super-sovereign currency” to address trade and economic imbalances created by the U.S. dollar’s dominant role in global finance. “At present, bitcoin possesses the characteristics of a super-sovereign currency,” Hao wrote. The investment narrative that bitcoin is a “harder” currency than U.S. dollars and is getting additional traction from next month’s “halving” on the bitcoin blockchain – the once-every-four-years occurrence by which the pace of issuance of new units of the cryptocurrency gets cut in half. Traders are expected to get a chance this week to observe how prices of two bitcoin-offshoot cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), perform as they go through their own quadrennial halvings. Some analysts said last month that bitcoin was trading in sync with U.S. stocks. That was seen as a sign that some investors were selling the cryptocurrency as part of anindiscriminate flight to safety– into dollars. Olga Feldmeier, CEO of the digital-asset exchange Smart Valor and a self-described “outright bitcoin maximalist,” says bitcoin’s price plunge earlier this year undercuts hopes that the cryptocurrency would serve as a safe-haven asset in times of market turmoil. She instead recommended “tokenized gold” – digital tokens like the Pax Gold (PAXG) – that offer a crypto-friendly way of investing in the yellow metal, long seen as a reliable inflation hedge. Kraken, a San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange, noted in an April 4blog postthat the volume of PAXG trading on its platform surged to $13 million in March, a six-fold increase from February levels. “Kraken clients appear to see PAXG as a safe haven of late since it is backed by gold, which typically acts as a safe haven amidst economic uncertainty,” according to the post. But there are some indications that bitcoin might be trading more like gold in recent weeks. VanEck, a money-management firm that offers a bitcoin trust to qualified institutional buyers, saysbitcoin’s price correlation with gold jumped to 0.47during the last couple weeks of March, from an average 0.03 over the past eight years. (A correlation of 1 implies perfect synchronicity.) The next couple months could prove pivotal for bitcoin as the U.S. suffers theworst stretch of the pandemic’s health crisisand moves into the economic-recovery phase. Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, told CNBC last week the recently passed $2 trillion aid packagewould not be enough. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he wouldask Congress for more moneyif a $350 billion pool for small businesses runs out. “More bazookas needed,” executives for the Wall Street dealer Jefferies wrote Friday in an open letter to clients and colleagues. Is bitcoin the real digital gold? With more financial “bazookas” getting hoisted into position, cryptocurrency markets will serve as the proving ground. “Many Bitcoin advocates think it will prove to be a better long-term store of value than gold,” according to the Kraken blog post. “Only time will tell.” Editor’s caveat: No idea if this $20 “Bitcoin Logo V2 Neck Gaiter Face Mask” is real. If so the free publicity here does NOT represent an endorsement. It seems like a high price for a mostly polyester bandana. But it certainly is a sign of the times. Bitcoin is again looking to establish a strong foothold above $7,000, having tested dip demand with a pullback to $6,600 over the weekend. The cryptocurrency printed a high above $7,100 early Monday and is currently changing hands around $7,090. The bulls have repeatedly failed to keep gains above the $7,000 mark over the last three weeks, forcing investors to question the sustainability of recovery rally from the March 19 low of $3,867. Even so, the bias remains bullish, as a pennant breakout confirmed April 2 is still intact. As a result, the cryptocurrency remains on the hunt for a test of the descending 50-day average, currently at $7,522. If the upside break of $7,000 resistance again proves to be short-lived, the immediate bullish outlook would be neutralized. The bias would turn bearish if prices fall below support at the weekend low of $6,610. That would open the doors to the higher low of $5,856 created March 30. • How to Spot Bitcoin’s Golden or Death Cross Using Simple Moving Averages • Bitcoin Falls Through Key Average as Traditional Markets Hit Record Highs... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/jstolfi', 'Mining pools shutting down', 56, '2020-04-08 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/fwu43z/mining_pools_shutting_down/', '[Chinese mining pool BytePool shuts down.](https://decrypt.co/24844/chinese-bitcoin-mining-operator-shutters-major-pool-profitability-tanks)\n\n[BitFury, once one of the largest pools, has apparently evaporated.](https://www.blockchain.com/charts/pools)', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/fwu43z/mining_pools_shutting_down/', 'fwu43z', [['u/SnapshillBot', 31, '2020-04-08 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/fwu43z/mining_pools_shutting_down/fmqeur3/', 'I fired up a Bitcoin miner for the first time today.

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: ["NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2020 /Beginning April 1st, Bione exchange has brought on Eric Ma as the new CEO. Previously the Global Community Manager for CoinMarketCap, Mr. Ma will bring his experiences to help Bione expand internationally. Mr. Ma has accepted to participate in this interview to discuss the challenges and opportunities that he'll face as CEO of Bione.HL:Can you give me a general introduction of Bione, the exchange you are now CEO of?\nEM: First off, I'm very honored to have this opportunity. I'm also very excited to be working with the Bione team to expand internationally! Bione was founded in May 2018 and is a rapidly growing crypto-to-crypto exchange registered in Singapore with offices around the world in the U.S., Canada, Estonia and Taiwan. We obtained a tier-1 financial MSB (Money Services Business) license which is regulated and issued by FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) in the United States. With our steady growth of users and community, we constantly give ourselves the pressure of providing more tools and services to them. Bione has done a great job thus far establishing themselves in the industry and we're now ready to expand internationally to serve the ever growing crypto industry.\nThe exchange plans to provide its users with an all-in-one solution, including trading pairs exchange, fiat-token trading, futures trading, market information, and a series of innovative financial derivatives, such as crypto asset custody, crypto asset saving, and DeFi (Open Finance) services.\nHL:What do you think is the core competence of Bione exchange?\nEM: I believe users will find our website easy to use. We're still making tweaks in our UI to increase user experience satisfaction. I also believe a company's competences are all interconnected. With a responsive customer support system, any questions or issues are dealt with quickly by our team. So if something on the site doesn't work well, it's fixed. If feedback is given, we take it to heart and try to implement it if we think it's good for our users. We may not be perfect, but our intentions are always good and we try to be helpful at all times. We spend a lot of our resources on the security of our platform. We've achieved ISO 27001 information security standards across the entire trading platform. It gets quite technical but there are 114 control points covering how information is brought in, managed and maintained. As a user of the Bione platform myself, I want to make sure my funds as well as the funds of all Bione users are SAFU.\nOne of the most criticized parts of cryptocurrency exchanges is the quality of the customer service. Some of these problems include slow withdrawals, frequent login issues, slow customer service responses, thin transaction data, poor API stability and slow response when the multi-factor authentication (MFA) needs to be reset which could result in substantial financial losses for customers. Bione wants to be an industry leader in solving these issues.\nHL:Do you have some big activity or plan in mind regarding the exchange?\nWe've been focused on foundation building and operations the past couple years. We're now ready to expand and be more public in terms of BD and Marketing. Our team is now focused on being a tier one exchange. We're continuing to improve our platform and services offered and plan to innovate and drive for the mainstream adoption of crypto around the world. We may never catch up to the likes of Binance or Coinbase, but we'll position ourselves as a great alternative to them for the crypto community.\nBione aims at being a reliable exchange with the robust technical capacity to implement upgrades and solve technical issues. It values security and understands the importance of having a dedicated professional security team and being ahead of hacking trends. The importance of a healthy trading depth, allowing the exchange to withstand large transactions without big fluctuations, and making sure user funds are safe are at the top of Bione's priorities. Bione's efficient matching algorithm for trade engines is key in price discovery and user experience.\nHL:What do you think about the industry this year? Some people think BTC and possible other digital assets will become a safe haven to the coming recession, others think the market is still very speculative susceptible to be influenced by movements in the equities, commodities and forex markets. Where do you position yourself between these two narratives?\nEM: That's a tough question. The accurate answer is nobody really knows. To me, crypto has not yet proven itself to be a safe haven or hedge to traditional finance the way gold has. I do believe though that crypto has the most upside compared to all the other markets in the world based on how early the industry is in its overall timeline. So if you're looking for short term security, crypto is probably not your best bet. Long term wise though, it's a very good bet. With that said, it certainly is still very speculative and susceptible to other factors including influences from major holders of BTC and traditional market influencers. I'm going to place myself somewhere in between the two narratives because both sides absolutely have their argument points. I sense that this year may still be slow in terms of price growth, but the good news is that the industry itself is continuously building and improving. That hasn't stopped. I have no doubts that crypto will continue to grow and more money will flow into the cryptosphere. We'll be in a bull market again before you know it.\nIn order to protect the bulk of our user funds Bione will have the option of complete offline storage (cold wallet) and private key isolation management. Assets will be stored in batches on multiple offline enterprise-level cold wallets. The cold wallets' private keys will also be isolated and managed offline. Only key people within Bione's management team have clearance to access these private keys.\nHL:What is the biggest challenge you might face right now?\nEM: The biggest challenge is often ourselves. It might sound cliche, but believing in ourselves is the most powerful advice our leaders at Bione give to our team. Oftentimes people like to blame external factors for their own shortcomings, however, humans are amazing and can accomplish anything we set our minds to. I will always encourage the Bione team to reach the goals we set and discourage making excuses for why certain goals aren't met. We try to inspire each other and help each other find the drive needed to achieve great things together regardless of what the market looks like. We're focused right now on finding new ways to improve our platform and bring in more users globally. Hopefully the current pandemic will soon end and the world can return back to normal.\nBione has adopted a series of measures to effectively increase the trading depth of the platform. The core technology used is BLH (Bione Lightning Hand), which is a layer-2 lightning network memory matching technology. This can enable thematching engine to process any trade with a result in less than 850 milliseconds. This means that our matching engine can match tens of thousands of orders simultaneously.\nHL:Could you please give your overall vision for your exchange in the near future?\nEM: Bione will be one of the most trusted exchanges in the future with users from all over the world. We hope to build partnerships with key players in the industry so that we could provide a multi-faceted platform which will serve more than just the trading of crypto but other services that will benefit our users.\nOne of Bione's most attractive models is its BIC repurchase model. After BIC goes online, 100% of the trading fee income generated by platform mining will be used to repurchase BIC during the mining period by Bione. The repurchased BIC will be burned by Bione. Users can check via Bione's official website to ensure transparency until the total destruction of 100 million BIC.\nHL.Where do you see the crypto market in the long term?\nEM: We are still early in the overall timeline for cryptocurrency. We're like at an early adolescent stage of crypto. We just started learning new skills, discovering new challenges, thinking critically about issues and beginning to build relationships with other industries. We've got a long way to go still. We'll need more institutional money to enter the space and the support of governments around the world to further the credibility of cryptocurrencies. Above all, educating the general public about crypto and generating even more interest in crypto will eventually drive up the overall demand of cryptocurrency.\nWith its focus on security, reliability and transparency, Bione is determined to be among the list of exchanges leading the financial revolution which is already starting to take place. Given the current circumstances in the global markets, people around the world will start paying more attention to blockchain technologies and decentralized financial systems. Bione is positioning themselves to take on this golden opportunity.\nPlease follow us on our social media:https://t.me/BIONE_EXhttps://twitter.com/BioneExchangehttps://www.facebook.com/ExchangeBIONE\nCONTACT\nBione\nMr. Eric [email protected]: +8615153242431\nSOURCE: Bione\nView source version on accesswire.com:https://www.accesswire.com/584523/Bione-Announces-New-CEO-to-Lead-Crypto-Exchange", "NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2020 / Beginning April 1 st , Bione exchange has brought on Eric Ma as the new CEO.

A Wyoming corporation founded by blockchain legislative champion and Wall Street veteran Caitlin Long is preparing to apply for a special purpose depository institution (SPDI) charter with the state’s division of banking. The future bank is called Avanti, which means “forward” in Italian, and will be focused solely on providing regulated services for digital assets, Long announced Monday. The company, formed on Jan. 6, has already raised $1 million in seed funding. Avanti will provide payment, custody, securities and commodities activities for institutional customers using digital assets. Related:Caitlin Long on Coronavirus, Crypto Custody and Building a Bank While the company has yet to submit its application, it already has eight products in its pipeline that are not currently available in the U.S. market – the only named one being custody for security tokens. Because trust companies cannot custody securities under U.S. law, SPDIs are uniquely positioned to fill the gap. Avanti’s balance sheet is planned to hold more assets under administration than deposits, and profits will be generated by providing services to institutional clients, similar to large traditional custody banks such as State Street, Bank of New York Mellon and Northern Trust. Long described the business as a “money warehouse. The firm will custody digital assets without any change in the ownership of those assets, like a valet takes care of your car without being given its legal title, Long said. Under Wyoming state law, SPDI banks must keep all of customers’ fiatdemand depositsas liquid assets and cannot lend. However, these entities get to operate under the regulatory oversight of the crypto-friendly Wyoming Division of Banking instead of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Related:Morgan Stanley Buys E*Trade in $13B Deal Avanti is partnering with bitcoin and blockchain technology startup Blockstream, which will provide bitcoin applications, as well as the software and hardware needed to custody digital assets. “Blockstream brings software for the bitcoin protocol. … Avanti brings a regulated delivery vehicle to deliver it into the USD markets,” Long said in an email. With Blockstream’s Liquid – a “sidechain” or parallel network sometimes used to move money between exchanges – the company will able to develop a “one-stop shop” for digital asset custody, said Blockstream CEO and cofounder Adam Back. With Blockstream, Avanti can build adjacent blockchain application programming interfaces (APIs) and conventional banking APIs, Back said. The first might look like an API that initiates multi-signature transactions; the second is usually an API that transfers money between traditional banking ledgers. Long, who pushed for the creation of the SPDI charter, said she didn’t plan on forming an SPDI bank until last Christmas when she was visiting Rome. Prior to her trip, a group – which Long would not name – approached her about creating such an entity. Because of the high capital level required to start an SPDI –around $25 million– many potential applicants have been slow to seek approval, even though the regulatory door been open since last October. Currently, the Wyoming Division of Banking has only received two applications, which the regulator is working with applicants to refine. In Rome, Long had been talking to Back on the phone when she became convinced to start Avanti. (Back is a well-known cryptographer who regularly talked with Satoshi Nakamato duringbitcoin’s(BTC) early days and was cited in Nakamoto’s bitcoin white paper for having created Hashcash, a predecessor technology that inspired the first cryptocurrency.) The setting was appropriate. While they spoke, Long walked between the Imperial Forums and the Roman Forums. There she saw for the first time arostra, a large platform for delivering speeches. “A symbol of decentralized power where citizens gathered to debate and engage in commerce voluntarily during the Republic,” she said. With Back, she talked about the need for big money – pension funds, endowments, foundations, corporations and sovereign wealth funds – to have a regulated partner to deliver services around bitcoin. “It’s a $300 billion asset class and they can’t ignore it anymore,” Long said. “Their existing service providers aren’t able to help them.” That night she landed on the name Avanti. “It’s a fitting name for a bank that’s moving ahead, while also anchored in the history of sound money and clear property rights,” she said. Having finalized the requirements for applications, the Wyoming Division of Banking is now developing the policies and procedures for SPDI banks and defining how the regulator will perform its yearly examination and supervision processes. To do this, the regulator is speaking to other state banking regulators to ensure the charter can transport to other states. “Wyoming is integrating digital assets into the U.S. banking system for the first time,” said Chris Land, general counsel at the state’s banking division. “The first applications that go through the process literally have to be perfect because many of the top financial industry officials in the country will be following the process. Perfection, like art, takes time.” With “a lot of trust placed in us by very important people,” Land said that the process will not be rushed. “Wyoming is a leader in responsible financial innovation, so we have to get this right,” he added. The Wyoming legislature has several blockchain initiatives coming up later this year, including bills that would expand the blockchain task force into a select committee, provide First Amendment protections to code (as long as it isn’t written in a malicious way), and extend the SPDI charter’s field of service to include retail customers. “It’s going to take a little while for folks to get their arms around all that we’ve done,” said Tyler Lindholm, a Wyoming state representative and chairman of the Wyoming Blockchain Task Force. “Blockstream being able to partner with Caitlin Long is a big win for them. Ms. Long knows the charting process. She knows financial regulation inside and out.” • Openfinance Lists New Security Token in Charity Fundraising Effort • IOHK Opens Cardano Research Lab at University of Wyoming Following $500K Donation... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Partially reversing a 2.29% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,293.7. It was a relatively choppy day on Thursday. Bitcoin fell from an early morning intraday high $7,370.7 to a mid-morning low $7,254.6 before finding support. Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, Bitcoin recovered to $7,300 levels before hitting reverse. The reversal saw Bitcoin slide to a mid-day intraday low $7,117.0 before finding support. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $7,205.73 before returning to $7,300 levels. Resistance at $7,300 ultimately pinned Bitcoin back late in the day, however. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Monero’s XMR and Stellar’s Lumen bucked the trend, with gains of 1.10% and 2.06% respectively. It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack. Bitcoin Cash ABC slid by 4.02% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.68%), Ethereum (-2.12%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.83%), Tezos (-1.68%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.63%) also saw relatively heavy losses. Binance Coin (-0.60%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.63%), EOS (-0.49%), and Litecoin (-0.64%) saw modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $190.55bn to a Tuesday high $211.57bn. A choppy mid-week saw the total market cap fall back to $203bn levels before recovering. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $208.50bn. Bitcoin’s dominance eased back from 65% levels seen on Monday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.0%. 24-hour trading volumes recovered from sub-$100bn levels to hit $171bn levels on Tuesday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $122.26bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.03% to $7,295.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $7,261.0 before striking a high $7,299.8. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC and EOS were up by 0.46% and by 0.50% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.02%), Tezos (-0.12%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.64%) saw red early on to buck the trend. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $7,300 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,403.93 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $7,370.7. Barring another crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $7,403.93 and Thursday’s high would likely pin Bitcoin back.

The Fed has made two emergency cuts in the shortest time period it has ever done so, cutting rates to near zero. Last Thursday was the worst day for stocks since the Black Monday crash in October 1987. The S&P 500 is down 11% in the past five days, the Dow down 13% in that time, and the Nasdaq down 10%. Bitcoin has fared even worse. The leading cryptocurrency by market cap is down 30% in the past five days, and down 50% in the past month. On Friday, bitcoin tanked 25% in just 24 hours, bringing it below $6,000 for the first time since May 2019, 10 months ago. Bitcoin rose 87% in 2019, and it had been having a very strong 2020 until mid-February; now it’s down 30% for the year. As of Monday at noon, bitcoin was hovering at $5,000. S&P 500 vs bitcoin over the past 30 days. “It is quite fascinating to watch how bad it’s performed,” said David Zervos, chief market strategist at Jefferies. “To see bitcoin off $1,400 in a day, that’s not going to give people a lot of confidence that it’s doing what it’s sort of marketed to do.” The other largest cryptocurrencies aren’t doing any better amid the coronavirus rout: ether ( ETH ) is down 30% in the last five days, 56% in the last month; XRP ( XRP ) is down 25% in the past five days and 52% in the past month; bitcoin cash ( BCH ) is down 32% in the past five days and down 60% in the past month. What happened to the idea of crypto as a safe haven asset, a hedge against economic uncertainty? Specialist Dilip Patel, left, works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Monday, March 9, 2020. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) The best answer for now is that coronavirus, a so-called black swan event, has become such a massive shock to the global economy that basically every asset class is down, creating a risk-off environment in which crypto, already a notoriously risky investment, isn’t very attractive. Investors are hurriedly selling off stocks, and they’re not moving that cash into crypto. On the other hand, gold has outperformed crypto in 2020, which has further dinged the “digital gold” theory for bitcoin. Even widely reported ( ultimately incorrect ) rumors that paper cash could transmit the virus did not boost the price of digital currencies. Crypto bulls reman bullish. “I think these geopolitical events, including coronavirus and geopolitical tensions, really improve the use case,” Fundstrat’s Tom Lee told Yahoo Finance in February. “I think it’s a good time to look at crypto.” Last week, Lee again reiterated , “In an environment where the stock market is in big trouble, crypto I think does make sense as a hedge.” The people furiously selling off their crypto do not appear to agree. Story continues Bitcoin believers can still point to the fact that bitcoin is up big over a longer period of time: up 1,700% compared to five years ago. Still, because it kissed $20,000 per coin at the end of 2017, bitcoin—fairly or unfairly—still always gets compared to that all-time-high bar. — Daniel Roberts is an editor-at-large at Yahoo Finance and closely covers bitcoin and blockchain.

I figured I could just go to one of the countless ATMs around my city to purchase a bit.

So I created an account on Coinbase only to find out that it wanted my bank login credentials... Hell no. So I then tried to put in a debit card to make a small purchase, and after waiting over 36 hours found out that they are having problems verifying debit cards currently. Absolutely frustrated, I made posts on Craigslist to purchase Bitcoin directly from someone locally using cash... No response. At this point I've pretty much just given up and don't care anymore.

Subscribe Why Wall Street is calling for no recession in 2020 In 2019, the word on the tip of everyone’s tongue was “recession.” A U.S.-China trade war, an inverted yield curve , and the length of the expansion were just a few of the concerns cited by investors who were still skittish following the market’s worst year since the crisis. But easier Fed policy , a softening in the trade war, and better-than-feared economic data helped power the stock market’s best year since 2013. And as we enter a new decade, economists across Wall Street are starting to discount not only a recession in 2020, but in the years ahead. In a note to clients published last week, economists at Goldman Sachs answered the 10 most pressing economic questions heading into the new year. Among them: Will the economy enter recession in 2020? “No,” Goldman writes. “While trade war-related recession fears have faded in financial markets, broader worries remain,” the firm adds. “The current expansion is now the longest in US history, and some recession fears may simply reflect an instinctive sense that its time must surely be almost up. This has not been an unreasonable thought historically, as the two usual late-cycle risks — inflationary overheating and financial imbalances — often did grow over time. But so far both risks look limited.” Fed chair Jerome Powell has stressed in recent public comments that inflation pressures have been “unexpectedly muted” relative to the Fed’s 2% target. And until there is a material pickup in inflation, Powell expects the Fed’s “somewhat accommodative” policy stance will remain in play. When it comes to financial imbalances, data has consistently shown this economic cycle to be one of consumer deleveraging. And with consumer spending accounting for about 70% of GDP, the relative financial health of consumers is tantamount to the health of the economy. Story continues Though as Deutsche Bank’s chief international economist Torsten Sløk notes, corporates have also exhibited a similar caution compared to history. This further suggests this economic cycle — though it is up there in years — shows few signs of breaking down. “This expansion has been characterized by an extreme degree of caution among consumers and corporates,” Sløk said in a note published this weekend. “Because of the experience in 2008-2009, households and companies have been hesitant to spend too much money and take too much risk. As a result, ten years into this expansion, discretionary spending for consumers and corporates is still below its historical average.” Consumer and corporate discretionary spending has remained depressed since the crisis, indicating caution and relative financial stability as we enter the new year. (Source: Deutsche Bank) Sløk notes that consumer caution is “highly unusual” compared to the economic cycles we’ve grown accustomed to seeing since World War II. “The lack of willingness to spend on consumer durables and corporate capex is also the reason why this expansion has been so weak,” Sløk adds. “And it is also the reason why this expansion could continue for many more years; we are simply less vulnerable to shocks in 2020 because there are few imbalances in the economy.” By Myles Udland , reporter and co-anchor of The Final Round.

This further suggests this economic cycle — though it is up there in years — shows few signs of breaking down.\n“This expansion has been characterized by an extreme degree of caution among consumers and corporates,” Sløk said in a note published this Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [9235.35, 9412.61, 9342.53, 9360.88, 9267.56, 8804.88, 8813.58, 9055.53, 8757.79, 8815.66, 8808.26, 8708.09, 8491.99, 8550.76, 8577.98, 8309.29, 8206.15, 8027.27, 7642.75, 7296.58, 7397.80, 7047.92, 7146.13, 7218.37, 7531.66, 7463.11, 7761.24, 7569.63, 7424.29, 7321.99, 7320.15, 7252.03, 7448.31, 7547.00, 7556.24, 7564.35, 7400.90, 7278.12, 7217.43, 7243.13, 7269.68, 7124.67, 7152.30, 6932.48, 6640.52, 7276.80, 7202.84, 7218.82, 7191.16, 7511.59, 7355.63, 7322.53, 7275.16, 7238.97, 7290.09, 7317.99, 7422.65, 7293.00, 7193.60, 7200.17] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Repeated defense of the EMA could attract technical buying. The average had acted as strong support in the five months to October 2018. A UTC close above $7,870 is needed to confirm a short-term bullish reversal. A violation at the EMA support could yield a re-test of recent lows near $6,500. Bitcoin is still feeling bearish pressure and could soon drop to historically strong price support below $7,100. The cryptocurrency fell 1.7 percent on Tuesday, reinforcing the bearish view put forward by the strong rejection above $7,600 witnessed over the weekend. The longer term picture is also looking bleak. Bitcoin is currently down 48 percent from the June high of $13,880 and is reporting nearly a 13 percent drop on a quarter-to-date basis, according to Bitstamp data.

The EMA had acted as strong support in the five months to October 2018, as seen below. Monthly chart (2017-2018) Bitcoins sell-off from the record high of $20,000 reached in December 2017 ran out of steam at the 21-month EMA support in June 2018. In the following four months, sellers repeatedly failed to secure a monthly close below the average line. By mid-October, many were convinced that the cryptocurrency had bottomed out along the key level. Buyers, however, remained elusive and the average support, then located around $6,100, was convincingly breached in mid-November with high volumes. The violation of the support likely triggered stops on long positions, leading to a violent sell-off. Related: Bitcoin Looks South After Strong Rejection Above $7,600 Clearly, the 21-month EMA, currently at $7,097, is the level to watch out for in the near-term more so, as the bears have recently struggled to breach the support. Story continues Monthly chart (2019) The long-tail attached to Octobers candle indicates sellers faded near the 21-month EMA line. Prices did print lows below the crucial support last month, but the support remained intact on a monthly closing basis (Nov. 30, UTC). Decembers candle has already briefly defended the support. A week ago, the technical line held ground resulting in a price bounce that fizzled out at highs above $7,660 on Dec. 9. Ifthe EMA continues to restrict losses, chart-driven buying could be seen,leading to a notable price bounce. That said, the short-term outlook will turn bullish only above $7,870. At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $7,200 on Bitstamp. Daily and weekly chart A UTC close above the Nov. 29 high of $7,870 would invalidate the lower-highs setup on the daily chart (above left) and confirm a short-term bullish reversal. However, the odds are currently stacked in favor of a move lower, as suggested by Mondays outside day candle and Tuesdays bearish follow-through. A break below the 21-month EMA support at $7, 097 will likely yield a decline to recent lows near $6,500. Thelong-term outlook would turn bullish if and when the cryptocurrency witnesses afalling channel breakout on the weekly chart.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin slid by 3.09% on Thursday. Reversing a 0.06% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $6,989.4. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning intraday high $7,225.8 to a mid-morning low $7,100.0. Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $7,170.38 and the second major support level at $7,128.03. A move back through the support levels by late morning was brief, with Bitcoin sliding to a late afternoon intraday low $6,963.0. Bitcoin tumbled through the day’s major support levels to close out the day at sub-$7,000. Bitcoin last closed out the day at sub-$7,000 on 17 th December. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the majors. Tezos led the way down, sliding by 9.32% to fall out of the top 10, by market cap. EOS (-5.37%), Litecoin (-5.23%), Binance Coin (-5.05%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.36%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (-4.18%) also saw heavy losses. Ethereum (-2.56%), Ripple’s XRP (-2.57%), Stellar’s Lumen (-3.61%), and Tron’s TRX (-2.39%) saw relatively modest losses. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap hit a Monday high $198.27bn before sliding to a Thursday low $185.26bn. Through Wednesday, the total market cap had peaked at $193.02bn before the reversal. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $185.83bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses on Thursday. Trading volumes had hit $80bn levels on Monday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $68bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.18% to $6,977.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $6,992.8 to a low $6,977.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the crypto majors. Binance Coin and Ethereum bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.49% and by 0.08% respectively. It was bearish for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV and Litecoin leading the way down. Both were down by 0.38% early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,060 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,155.80. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,000 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,060 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through Thursday’s low $6,963 would bring the first major support level at $6,893.0 into play before any recovery. Barring an extended sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer clear of the second major support level at $6,796.6.

Also known as "the only blockchain technology applied for the IoT reality", the team announced the launch of the BBC project and showcased their mainnet, which was launched earlier on 30 November this year.\nThe conference addressed several important blockchain issues, such as current trends and climates, as well as how traditional businesses can potentially tap into and adopt the blockchain technology, specifically for IoT purposes.\nAt the conference, BigBang Core signed agreements for the strategic partnerships with several major corporations, namely Zhejiang Zheran Energy Technology Co. Ltd., Zhejiang ZhengTu Technology Co. Ltd., Shenzhen Strontium Duoduo Water Industry Co. Ltd., Zhongshan Subor Co. Ltd., and Yi Hua Department Store Holdings Limited. The partnerships will promote industrial integration of the blockchain technology, and mark an important milestone for blockchain to transition from the technology space to further physical applications.\nThe BBC system stands apart from most of the existing projects within the sector as it comes with no pre-mined coins. While it may appear similar to existing peer-to-peer digital currencies, the technology is designed specifically for the data necessities of the IoT. This requires the implementation of a unique "tree-based structure" - a safe main chain linked with several applied branch chains - to contain multiple blocks, as opposed to single-chain structures such as Bitcoin. This allows the system to support potentially infinite Transactions Per Seconds (TPS) securely.\nThe team, who worked on the project for 3 years, has already made a significant real-world impact within the industry. The system was used for a carbon emission indicator test conducted by a company in Hangzhou. This success will give both investors and users confidence that BigBang Core is a trustworthy, secure and industry-leading project forIoT-related blockchainrequirements.\nFollowing the conference, BigBang Core is planning to incorporate their system into further several main areas: energy data quantification, agricultural big data as well as traceability and authenticity of logistical data and surrounding financial products. The BBC project is set to transform these industries from within by reevaluating and reinventing the way these industries and corporations contain, secure and distribute their valuable information.\nFor more information on BigBang Core, visitbigbangcore.com.\n###\nAbout BigBang Core:\nBigBang Core is a blockchain system nestled on a peer-to-peer network.

The NAB Business Confidence Index rose from 0 to 2 in October, falling well short of the long-run average of +6 points. According to theOctober survey, • Mining, construction, retail and finance, business & property services saw confidence levels sit at around 3 points.

At the time of writing, theJapanese Yenwas down by 0.08% to ¥109.14 against the U.S Dollar, while It’s a relatively busy day ahead on theeconomic calendar. Key stats due out of the Eurozone include the ZEW’s November economic sentiment and current conditions figures for Germany and the Eurozone. With the ECB reliant upon consumer spending to prop up the economy, we can expect plenty of sensitivity to day’s figures. Outside of the numbers, expect geopolitical risk to continue to influence. At the time of writing, theEURwas down by 0.04% to $1.1029. It’s another busy day ahead on thedatafront. Key stats include employment figures that will provide the Pound with direction. While a forecasted fall in the unemployment rate would be positive, the market focus will likely be on the claimant count and wage growth figures. Claimants are forecasted to rise by 26.5k in October, following a 21.1k rise in September. Wages are expected to rise by 4% in September, up from 3.8% in August. On the geopolitical risk front, UK politics will continue to grip the Pound. According to theYouGovpoll of polls, the Conservatives have 39% of the vote, well ahead of the Opposition Party’s 26%. The Pound got a boost on Monday in response to Farage’s decision to not compete for 317 Conservative Party seats. While the Brexit Party is not projected to win any seats, the latest news led to a rise in projected seats for the Tories. In response to Farage’s comments, theElectoral Calculus, which estimates the number of seats each party would win, raised its projection for the Tory Party from 370 to 382. That would give Johnson a majority of 114. At the time of writing, thePoundwas up by 0.02% to $1.2857. It’s another quiet quiet day on theeconomic calendar. There are no material stats due out of the U.S to provide the Greenback with direction.

Benjamin Noys, a professor at the University of Chichester, in the UK, invented the term “accelerationism” for a philosophy that says technological progress should be greatly sped up.\nIn his bookMalign Velocities: Accelerationism and Capitalism(Zero Books, 2014), Benjamin Noys definesaccelerationismas the idea that capitalism should be pushed to ever-dizzying speeds to bring about a new future. Markets, technological progress and intelligence are all attributes of the same engine of history, which sometimes proceeds at the expense of humanity. Adherents argue the process of disrupting traditions, uprooting ecosystems and alienating individuals cannot be stopped. The only response is to accelerate.\nFive years on, Noys is now looking to uncover the links between this fringe philosophy, which exists mostly online, and the emergence of internet-native currencies. I recently spoke with him by phone. During our conversation, which has been edited for length and clarity, we discussed what the alt-right sees in crypto, how accelerationism has entered mainstream discourse and the mystical experience of holding money.\nRelated:How Libra Failed, and How It Could Succeed in 2020\nCan you describe your research into cryptocurrency?\nWhat interests me are the political aspects and debates around cryptocurrency, particularly in the way it’s been embraced by figures on the extreme right.

On the one hand it’s the most virtual form of money, entirely digital, and on the other hand it embodies stability in that it’s encrypted beyond government and other forms of interference. This dual perspective allows you to embrace both a desire for dissolving institutions and forms and embracing capitalism at its most extreme while preserving hierarchies between those who possess value and those who don’t.\nHow does a decentralized system preserve hierarchy?\nBitcoins are extremely deterritorialized, they belong to no one except their owners, and are not subject to any form of central control. This preserves the idea of value associated with those that possess monetary value. In some of the more extreme neo-reactionary movements, this hierarchy gets reinvented as the “the wealthy are better than the rest.” So those who embrace risk, speculation and the digital become the new lords or overlords.\nRelated:While We Wait for Laws, We Need Better Interpretations of Existing Regulation\nIt’s an argument by analogy? Because monetary hierarchies exist that validates other hierarchies – like racial or gender inequalities – for the extreme right.\nFigures like Nick Land, and other neoreactionaries, do embrace or come close to embracing racialized positions, while at the same time hedging by saying ‘we only embrace pure capitalism.’ So they put a distance between themselves and traditional rightwing politics, but to me, they still embrace rightwing traditional values of racial and social hierarchies. It uses a hierarchy of value to dictate social value.\nIt seems like some of Nick Land’s support for bitcoin borders on the metaphysical. I was wondering if you’ve grappled with any of that?\nI’m interested in the philosophical implications of crypto. There’s an argument that the birth of philosophy as a discipline runs parallel to the explosion of monetary economies in ancient Greece. That’s a speculative argument, but there are some interesting links between money as an abstract speculative medium and philosophy as an abstract speculative mode. That’s why I’m interested in how this particular form of digital currency aligns, can link with or generates political or social fantasies.\nAre there larger societal implications of having censorship-resistant currencies?\nWe don’t know what the implications will be. This is what some people are celebrating. It’s an experiment and the consequences of the experiment are very unclear. The notion of currencies that are free from government or forms of social control offers many political possibilities. It doesn’t necessarily have to be rightwing or reactionary ones. At the moment, it’s interesting how the agenda of freedom from government tends to be pitched in a rightwing direction. Probably often by people that haven’t used cryptocurrencies. They’re kind of an object of fantasy.\nCould you discuss how these reactionary ideas have entered into political discourse or wider culture?\nAccelerationism is a broad church of different thinkers and ideas that emerged in the last ten or so years – obviously triggered by the financial crisis of 2008 and by the dominance of the internet – to try to deal with the question of how do we deal with technology today. The broad definition is the embrace or accelerate certain forms of technology or social reforms to push through our current capitalist state to a new future.\nIt can take left-wing forms, where a post-capitalist future would not be based on a current capitalist market but would still use current technologies like the internet to distribute wealth, or use cryptocurrencies to encourage a more egalitarian social order. And there are right-wing forms that want to accelerate capitalism into a purer form.

The successful recipient of the AMF “ICO visa” – a cryptocurrency fundraising platform called French-ICO – met the minimum guarantees required by law, including a white paper investors could understand, according to a statement from the regulator. ICO visas are a means to ensure sales do not bring investors undue risk. Applicants must show the AMF they have provided all relevant information about the sale, as well as the risks involved. Approval is not an endorsement for the company. Related: Alleged BTC-e Operator Alexander Vinnik to Be Extradited to France: Reports The regulator can only approve public offerings for utility tokens, and an applicant must be a registered entity in France. They must also have procedures for securing investor funds and comply with strict anti-money laundering (AML) requirements. Once approved, the ICO must take place within six months. France passed one of the most comprehensive legal frameworks for cryptocurrencies earlier this year. Known as the PACTE law, it provides companies legal certainty in return for being regulated by the AMF. That includes a guaranteed bank account, as well as the option to host a token sale in the country using the ICO visa. AMF approval further allows a company to market its sale and engage in promotional activities. Registration is optional, however. Companies can still host an unregistered ICO in France but they are not allowed to promote the sale to potential investors. Related: Blockchain of Things Pays SEC $250,000 to Settle Unregistered ICO Reuters reported in July that the watchdog was talking to three or four candidates for an ICO visa. Although the news was announced Thursday, French-ICO received its visa on Tuesday. Scheduled to begin in March, the sale is capped at €1 million ($1.1 million), according to its website . The visa runs out on June 1, 2020. Story continues The AMF has come down hard on crypto companies that have broken French law. The watchdog previously banned advertisements for cryptocurrency derivatives and, in March, blacklisted 15 cryptocurrency websites that it considered had unlawfully guaranteed high returns on investments.

Things were not much better for the DAX30, which fell by 0.53%, while the EuroStoxx600 slipped by just 0.02%. The losses came in spite of a bullish end to the week that saw the CAC40 and EuroStoxx600 rally by 1.21% and by 1.16% respectively. Disappointing industrial production figures out of Germany left the DAX30 with a more modest 0.86% gain on the day. Market sentiment towards the prospects of a U.S – China phase 1 agreement provided support on Friday, after having sunk the markets at the start of the week. On the economic data front, a jump in U.S nonfarm payrolls and wage growth ultimately delivered the Friday bounce, however. The Stats It was a busy week on the Eurozone economic calendar . In the 1 st half of the week, the focus was on November private sector PMI figures out of China, the Eurozone, and the U.S. While the PMI numbers out of China had provided support, the Eurozone and U.S PMI figures were far from impressive. The stats coincided with negative chatter on trade in the 1 st half, with the U.S administration threatening tariffs on all French goods. On the prospects of a U.S – China phase 1 agreement, Trump had also doused expectations of a pre-Christmas deal. In the 2 nd half of the week, things didn’t get much better on the data front, with German and Eurozone retail sales disappointing. While the markets have been able to stomach weak manufacturing sector figures, weak consumer spending is a different proposition… That sentiment was reflected by a slide in factory orders and industrial production figures out of Germany that had a relatively muted impact on the majors. On Friday, U.S nonfarm payroll and wage growth figures, however, did have a material impact. Impressive figures fuelled a rebound in both the European and U.S majors. Nonfarm payrolls jumped by 266k, with wages rising by 3.1% in November. Both came in ahead of expectations and points to strong consumer demand in the months ahead… Story continues The Market Movers From the DAX , it was a mixed week for the auto sector. Continental and Daimler fell by 0.88% and by 3.36% respectively. BMW and Volkswagen found support, however, with the pair up by 0.70% and 0.57% respectively. It was a bearish week for the banking sector, however. Deutsche Bank fell by 0.91%, with Commerzbank down by 1.14%. From the CAC , it was a mixed week for the banks. Credit Agricole and Soc Gen rose by 1.25% and by 2.80% respectively. BNP Paribas bucked the trend, falling by 0.06%, the loss coming in spite of a 1.35% gain on Friday. French auto sector took another hit in the week, with Peugeot and Renault falling by 1.87% and by 3.76% respectively. The U.S. threat of tariffs on all French goods certainly didn’t help. On the VIX Index The VIX Index rose by 7.92% in the week ending 6 th December. Following a 2.27% gain from the previous week, the VIX ended the week at 13.6. A choppy week for the markets saw the VIX jump by 18.15% on Monday. The jump came in response to negative chatter on trade. This was followed up by a 7% gain on Tuesday that ultimately delivered the upside in the week. In the 2 nd half of the week, a shift in sentiment towards trade and the particularly impressive labor market figures out of the U.S limited the upside in the VIX. The Week Ahead It’s a relatively busy week on the Eurozone economic calendar . Through the 1 st half of the week, German trade data and business sentiment figures for Germany and the Eurozone are due out Barring dire trade figures, expect the sentiment figures to have the greatest influence on Tuesday. Following disappointing industrial production figures out of Germany last week, a fall in Eurozone industrial production wouldn’t be a surprise… Industrial production figures are due out on Thursday. On Thursday, the focus will be on the ECB and ECB President Lagarde, however. Economic indicators going into the 4 th quarter have not been great, which raises the question of what’s next from the ECB… Finalized inflation numbers from France, Germany, and Spain due out in the week will unlikely influence. From elsewhere, expect economic data from the U.S and, more importantly, the FOMC economic projections from Wednesday to also influence. On the geopolitical front, updates from China and the U.S in the early part of the week will influence. In the 2 nd half of the week, expect the European majors to respond to the UK general election. Results will start trickling in overnight on Thursday… A Tory Party loss would extend Britain’s membership with the EU. This would also raise plenty of uncertainty over what lies ahead for the UK economy, however.

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 fell by 0.08% on Sunday. Following on from a 0.02% decline on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,364.6. The moves through the weekend left Bitcoin down by 0.04% for the week. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally to an early morning intraday high $7,509.9. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,428.77 and the second major resistance level at $7,487.73. While easing back to sub-$7,500 levels, Bitcoin held onto $7,400 levels until a late sell-off. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to a late intraday low $7,315.8. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,304.07, Bitcoin found support in the final hour to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels earlier in the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Monero’s XRM led the way, rallying by 6.03% to replace Stellar’s Lumen in the crypto top 10 (by market cap). Binance Coin (+1.74%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%), EOS (+1.14%), Ethereum (+0.87%), Litecoin (+1.36%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.39%) also saw green. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.26%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.31%), Tezos (-0.17%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.11%) joined Bitcoin in the red on the day. It was also a mixed bag for the week ending 5 th January. Monero’s XMR and Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with gains of 15.5% and 11.3% respectively. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+5.44%), Ethereum (+0.74%), and Litecoin (+0.56%) also made gains in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack, with Tezos sliding by 4.1% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-0.21%), EOS (-0.22%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (-1.62%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.24%) also joined Bitcoin in the red for the week. Story continues Through the week, the crypto total market cap recovered from a Thursday low $185.26bn. A bullish start to the day on Sunday saw the market cap hit a week high $200.37bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $197.83bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses for the week. Trading volumes hit $90bn levels on Saturday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $67bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.16% to $7,376.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,358.0 to a high $7,381.2. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Monero’s XMR (+0.36%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.12%), Tezos (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.07%) also found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.26%), Ethereum (-0.23%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.27%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,390 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,477.73. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,400 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally on the day, resistance at $7,500 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,390 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $7,358.0 would bring the first major resistance level at $7,283.63 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,200 levels. The second major support level at $7,202.67 should limit any downside on the day.

While easing back to sub-$7,500 levels, Bitcoin held onto $7,400 levels until a late sell-off. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to a late intraday low $7,315.8. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,304.07, Bitcoin found support in the final hour to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels earlier in the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Monero’s XRM led the way, rallying by 6.03% to replace Stellar’s Lumen in the crypto top 10 (by market cap). Binance Coin (+1.74%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%), EOS (+1.14%), Ethereum (+0.87%), Litecoin (+1.36%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.39%) also saw green. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.26%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.31%), Tezos (-0.17%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.11%) joined Bitcoin in the red on the day. It was also a mixed bag for the week ending 5 th January. Monero’s XMR and Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with gains of 15.5% and 11.3% respectively. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+5.44%), Ethereum (+0.74%), and Litecoin (+0.56%) also made gains in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack, with Tezos sliding by 4.1% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-0.21%), EOS (-0.22%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (-1.62%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.24%) also joined Bitcoin in the red for the week. Story continues Through the week, the crypto total market cap recovered from a Thursday low $185.26bn. A bullish start to the day on Sunday saw the market cap hit a week high $200.37bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $197.83bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses for the week. Trading volumes hit $90bn levels on Saturday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $67bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.16% to $7,376.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,358.0 to a high $7,381.2. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Monero’s XMR (+0.36%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.12%), Tezos (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.07%) also found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.26%), Ethereum (-0.23%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.27%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,390 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,477.73. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,400 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally on the day, resistance at $7,500 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,390 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $7,358.0 would bring the first major resistance level at $7,283.63 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,200 levels. The second major support level at $7,202.67 should limit any downside on the day.

But Jack Dorsey, the American tech entrepreneur who co-founded and leads not one, but two publicly listed companies (Twitter and Square) is not your typical CEO. Dressed down, bearded, often wearing a wooly hat and speaking in a slow, quiet voice, you might even call Dorsey the anti-CEO. He eschews many of the stereotypical trappings of the executive life and mannerisms in favor of taking silent retreats and traveling to countries like Burma. In November 2019, Dorsey\'s itchy feet took him to Africa, where he visited Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Ethiopia on a listening tour . He had meetings at incubators in Lagos and Addis Ababa, and talked to a number of African tech leaders, including Tayo Oviosu , the CEO of Nigerian payments startup Paga, and Yele Bademosi , the director of Binance Labs. And before he departed back for the U.S., he did something more: he announced that he would return in 2020 to live somewhere on the continent for up to six months. "Africa will define the future (especially the bitcoin one!). Not sure where yet, but I’ll be living here for 3-6 months mid 2020," he Tweeted from Ethiopia . Why Africa? And where? And when?

Back in early 2018, a long-term bear cross saw prices fall by as much as 60 percent. While past events are not indicative of future results, it does raise the question: how far can bitcoin’s value fall? Further losses will expose prices to the 100-period moving average on the weekly chart, now located at $7,520.

View comments', 'While many of us were buying last-minute Christmas presents of socks and aftershave, in Argentina, it looks as if the focus was on Bitcoin. According to incredible stats compiled by CoinDance, Bitcoin trading in Argentina skyrocketed to an all-time high in the run-up to Christmas. Peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading in Argentina CoinDance measures the volume of transactions over time on peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. It found that Bitcoin trading in Argentina in the week of December 21 reached a staggering $32.6 million Argentine pesos (approximately $544,905 US dollars). That\x92s 34% more than the volume registered in previous weeks and marks a historical record in P2P trading on LocalBitcoins \x96 a platform popular in the Latin American country. Bitcoin trading in Argentina While Bitcoin trading in Argentina has cooled off again since reaching its peak, the increased trading volume in December demonstrates Argentina\x92s growing interest in Bitcoin. At 55.44% at the end of 2019, inflation in Argentina is among the highest in the world. This makes it impossible for Argentines to save in their national currency. But why was there such a spike in peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading in Argentina the week of December 21? A historic distrust of its national currency Argentines historically distrust their national currency \x96 and with good reason. It\x92s let them down many times before with wide-scale devaluations and banking crises. This has fostered an obsession with dollars in the country. Many Argentines wishing to save or carry out transactions on high-ticket items instinctively convert their pesos to dollars. Since President Macri\x92s sweeping defeat in October, in an attempt to prevent capital flight, the Argentine central bank restricted the purchase of foreign currency to just $200 per month per citizen. On Tuesday December 17, the new Argentine government led by Alberto Fernández announced a new series of measures to further hamper access to dollars and foster a new \x93love of the peso\x94. Story continues The first of which is abolishing a tax on saving in pesos. \x93We need to recover savings in our currency,\x94 said the new Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, as he announced that the tax on savings in pesos was being written off. \x93We also need to discourage savings in a currency that we do not produce, which are dollars,\x94 he added. Therefore, in addition to the $200 monthly limit, Argentines will pay a 30% tax for the purchase of dollars and for any expenses abroad. These include tourism (making it harder for Argentines to travel) and even services such as Netflix, Airbnb, and Spotify. The tax will not affect expenses related to health, medications, books, and research projects. These measures are part of the so-called \x93Law of Solidarity and Productive Reactivation\x94 that the government plans to push through parliament. According to Guzmán, it is \x93the first step to resolve the economic and social crisis that Argentina is going through\x94. 70% of funds collected with the \x93dollar tax\x94 will go to the social security system, while the remaining 30% will finance infrastructure and housing works in the country. Solidarity law pushing Argentines to Bitcoin The reasons behind the Law of Solidarity and Productive Reactivation may be well-intended. However, it\x92s hard to change a mindset built up over the years and encourage trust in the peso again. It\x92s certainly no coincidence that the spike in Bitcoin trading in Argentina resulted shortly after the new measures were announced. Argentina is not the only country in Latin America to have a tendency towards P2P BTC trading. Venezuela also reached an all-time high that same week, representing a 15.6% increase from the week before. Argentina\x92s ravaged neighbours to the north, in fact, are still showing more and more interest in Bitcoin trading, registering another all-time high the week of January 4. Bitcoin trading in Venezuela Bitcoin \x96 a new Latin American alternative? Argentina and Venezuela are in the throes of complicated economic and financial crises. The situation in Venezuela is far worse, with annual inflation of over 10 million percent . However, the Argentine peso is also being weakened on an almost daily basis. Both countries are also struggling to attract investment and have restricted access to international credit. The devaluation of local currencies is one of the main reasons specialised investors and a young tech-savvy population have turned to Bitcoin \x96 as an alternative to escape monetary depreciation and shield their wealth. However, the enormous obstacles and restrictions on access to foreign exchange have further boosted P2P Bitcoin trading in Argentina and Venezuela. These activities are not yet regulated by current legislation and have allowed investors to quickly exchange their local currency for units or fractions of cryptocurrencies that are traded internationally. Bitcoin may have been born from the ashes of the last global economic meltdown, but the majority of its users are treating it as a store of value. For countries like Argentina and Venezuela, Bitcoin is truly proving to be a viable way of escaping erroneous economic policies and weak local fiat currencies.

On November 20th, 2019, Utopia's global launch event will be hosted by its Thailand community. A new site has been launched previously by Utopia for experienced cryptocurrency investors and newbies who want to learn more about creating a strong, steady passive income. The site offers practical information and training on how to utilize the correct Bitcoin investment strategy, along with an affiliate program, to create well above-average returns. Why Did We Create Utopia? In the existing world money works for the banks, producing profit for them as the public utilizes the currency. They can issue more currency and the public will happily pay the banks more money to use it. In this way, the public is serving the money and the money is serving the banks. This is how the centralized financial system creates a hierarchy and maintains the gap between the rich and the poor. "Today, we have the opportunity to apply blockchain technology and spirit to build a new financial system that is independent of the existing financial system and exists in the virtual online world. Everyone is an owner in the system where contributions are rewarded equably. This is a new system of fairness and integrity. The system also represents the voice of most people around the world. People will be happy because they make money easily", said Utopia CEO, Shaun Mendes. The origin of Utopia Originated from the concept of ideal world proposed by Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, Utopia claims that it is striving to build a new, ideal digital ecosystem and apply blockchain technology to secure everyone's involvement in the running of the enterprise. But what does the new, ideal digital ecosystem look like? Well, it looks like an ideal world, since it returns to the model of "money serves people." With blockchain as its fundamental technology, Utopia possesses the underlying qualities of transparency, equality and reliability. Utopia claims that there's no exploitation, no manipulation, and no money in the form of today's currency. Story continues Utopia combines with BTC to reach global consensus and belief What Is Utopia's Grand Strategy? With hundreds of thousands of global users, Utopia is dedicated to creating a new form of financial and social networks. Utopia is said to run by everyone in its network. To reach a broader consensus, Utopia combines its development with BTC. It is anticipated that it will jointly popularize BTC and promote the growth of BTC/USD exchange rate. Meanwhile, Utopia distributes 100 percent of its profits to all of those who have a consensus on the idea of Utopia. The birth of Utopia resulted from BTC, and the birth of BTC resulted from people's wish to sort out the problems caused by the existing finance and currency system. As an unprecedented breakthrough, the underlying technology of bitcoin is gradually establishing the new financial order. Whilst Utopia is not only a firm supporter of the financial order, but also a forward innovator. Utopia is an "ideal world" created by bitcoin believers and holders all over the world, whose goal is to popularize bitcoin, promote the growth of BTC/USD exchange rate, and distribute 100 percent its revenue to every Utopia idea disseminator. The total amount of bitcoins in circulation is only 21 million, and the number will never increase again. At present, more than 17 million bitcoins have been mined out, among which about 4-4.5 million can't be found due to the loss of private key. Thus, only about 13 million are actually in circulation. As the wind vane of blockchain economy, bitcoin now has the most extensive consensus in the world. Based on blockchain technology, big data, cryptographic algorithm and so on, Utopia has built a super self-reliant financial system driven by the financial system of bitcoin consensus and trust, so that every bitcoin participant can obtain huge victory benefits. Utopia is a new highlight of the digital world The great thing about bitcoin is that it breaks the centralization of currency and introduces cryptocurrency and blockchain to the world. Whilst Utopia is to break the financial barrier of the world, build a new system of global digital blockchain assets, and popularize BTC through accurate calculation and reasonable economic model. Utopia achieves a high level of global consensus via taking BTC as the underlying application, and realizes a decentralized blockchain world via implementing the multi-signature mechanism of BTC. The BTC assets deposited by each user of Utopia will be jointly owned by 10 + N members, and there will be no such problems as central control and run-away. In the world of Utopia, everyone is the owner. In order to make Utopia develop better, based on the reliable economic model on the blockchain, Utopia designed the daily interest rate and annual compound interest rate targeting different needs of participants, ensuring the sustainable income of all participants and the long-term and stable development of Utopia. Utopia assets adopt bitcoin multi-signature mechanism to ensure the safety of each participant's assets. Only by the agreement of 66.66% of the users participating in the multi-signature account can one withdraw the assets in Utopia. Utopia is dedicated to the realization of true decentralization and everyone's participation in the management of the new world of Utopia. The future is at the corner. Utopia is quietly changing the world and our lives with blockchain technology and its unique development concept.

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 rallied by 5.09% on Tuesday. Following on from a 5.35% bounce on Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,154.1. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to a late morning high $7,952.0 before falling to a late afternoon intraday low $7,741.9. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,909.27 before the pullback. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,482.27, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $8,210.3. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,909.27 and the second major resistance level at $8,060.63. The 23.6% FIB of $8,200 limited the upside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the current week rally. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Binance Coin (+0.47%), EOS (+0.06%), and Litecoin (+1.20%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack, however. Ripple’s XRP and Stellar’s Lumen led the way down, sliding by 4.30% and 3.93% respectively. Bitcoin Cash SV (-3.42%) and Tron’s TRX (-3.00%) also saw relatively heavy losses. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.31%), Ethereum (-0.78%), and Monero’s XMR (-0.81%) saw modest losses on the day. Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap jumped to an early Wednesday current week high $220.27bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $220.00bn, with the majors seeing further upside early on this morning. Bitcoin’s dominance surged to 69% levels, driven by 2 solid days in the green. Trading volumes hit $92bn levels on Tuesday. At the time of writing, volumes were at $93bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 2.91% to $8,391.0. A particularly bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $8,148.8 to a high $8,442.0. Story continues Breaking out from the 23.6% FIB of $8,200, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $8,328.97 early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bullish start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.52%), EOS (+2.73%), Ethereum (+2.49%), Litecoin (+3.86%), Monero’s XMR (+2.77%) and Tron’s TRX (+2.00%) also found strong support early on. Binance Coin (+0.94%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.71%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.21%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.32%) trailed the pack. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to hold above the first major resistance level at $8,328.97 to support a run at the second major resistance level at $8,503.83. We can expect the news wires to have a material influence on the day, with this week’s gains likely to have come from events in the Middle East. Expect Bitcoin to break out from the second major resistance level should the U.S respond to Iran’s attacks on military bases in Iraq. Resistance at $8,972.23 would likely limit any upside in the event of an extended rally on the day, however. Failure to hold above the first major resistance level could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 to sub-$8,040 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,860.57 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$8,000 levels.

Following an abrasive daily candle close which saw Bitcoin suddenly drop from $7,300 to $7,100 yesterday evening, it consolidated today at $7,200 before surging towards the $7,800 level of resistance. The dramatic rise from $7,200 to $7,800 saw a total of $59.71 million in short positions liquidated on derivatives exchange BitMEX, according to Datamish . Price has now began to consolidate in the $7,500 region, which could fuel a continuation rally back to the $8,000 region. However, the 100 exponential moving average (EMA) on the four-hour chart has been a bitter point of resistance on three occasions over the past month, and that level will need to be broken before an extended rally can take place. The 100 EMA currently lies at around $7,600, while the 200 EMA is at $7,950. Its also worth noting that in addition to last months death cross, the 100 EMA is now sloping dangerously towards the 200 EMA, which could indicate that a further downside correction is on the cards. If Bitcoin fails to break out above $8,000 over the coming weeks, it would mark another sinister lower high, which would suggest that the ongoing bear market is far from over and that downside price targets of $5,900 and $3,150 could well come 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: ['Bux , the Amsterdam-based fintech that wants to make investing more accessible, has acquired the European "social" cryptocurrency investment platform Blockport. Terms of the deal remain undisclosed, although Bux says the move paves the way for the company to launch its own branded cryptocurrency investment app. Dubbed " BUX Crypto," it will be available in the nine countries in which Bux operates, and is planned to go live in Q1 this year. In addition, we are told the founders and core team members of Blockport will join Bux and "take ownership" of the Bux cryptocurrency offering. Once launched, BUX Crypto users will be able to access a variety of financial assets and markets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP. The Blockport Token will also be rebranded to the BUX Token. "This will remain integrated in the platform and will also keep its trading discount function, which offers users a discount on trading fees," says Bux. Users will also be able to use the BUX Token in the future when more premium features become available, such as "advanced social community features" (whatever that means). The move is especially interesting in context of competitors such as Robinhood and, to some extent, Revolut, which, alongside Freetrade, compete with Bux in the U.K. in the fee-free trading space for public markets (well, once Robinhood launches in Europe), and soon crypto. “Bux users have long expressed interest in investing in cryptocurrency and we have been presented with an opportunity to bring on a committed and enthusiastic team that aligns clearly with our mission at Bux," says Nick Bortot, CEO and founder of Bux, in a statement. "This mission is to help young Europeans do more with their money. With BUX Zero and BUX X firmly positioned in Europe as the place to invest and trade, taking on a fully established cryptocurrency partner that can deliver the experience that our Bux users have come to expect was a natural fit for us."

What Happened President Donald Trump, in his Wednesday address, said that the U.S. wants to pursue de-escalation of the situation. The Trump Administration will move for economic sanctions instead of further military action, he suggested. “The U.S. is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it,” the president said, adding that Iran too appeared to be “standing down.” Trump was speaking in the aftermath of Iran’s strikes at Iraqi airbases that hosted American troops. No casualties were reported from the incident. Irani leaders, too, have said that the country will not pursue further escalation in the absence of American provocation. Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations told the bloc that it doesn’t seek “escalation or war,” and that its strikes were a “measured and proportionate military response.” Some analysts are doubting whether this will indeed be the end of Iran’s revenge for killing Soleimani, who was often described as Iran’s second most powerful person after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, The Nikkei Asian Review reported. The experts polled by The Nikkei noted that Iranian hackers are notorious for cyber attacks, and more such attacks could follow as revenge for Soleimani’s death.

The digital asset’s price jumped 5 percent Friday to $7,300 as of 16:07 universal coordinated time (11:07 a.m. in New York). The surge, which appeared to follow gains in oil and gold prices, pushed bitcoin into positive territory for the year-to-date, now up 2.2 percent. Mati Greenspan, founder of the cryptocurrency-focused research firm Quantum Economics, noted in an email that the U.S. attack drove up prices for gold, traditionally seen as a safe-haven asset whose value is expected to hold in times of geopolitical or economic instability. Many investors speculate that bitcoin bears similarities to gold, in terms of its perceived resistance to inflation. Related:American Cancer Society Now Accepting Bitcoin Donations Through BitPay Higher oil prices could make investors nervous about future economic growth while also potentially pushing up consumers’ costs at the gas pump, stoking faster inflation. Another consideration is whether the escalating tension might spur demand for bitcoin among Iranians, who have shown an appetite for cryptocurrencies in recent years as the Middle Eastern economy faced a host of sanctions ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. In lateDecember, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in a speech in Malaysia that Muslims might need their own cryptocurrency to “save themselves from the domination of the U.S. dollar and the American financial regime.” Iranhas “long been seen as one of the hotbeds for bitcoin adoption” due to U.S. sanctions on money transfers stemming from the country, not to mention a “very unstable economy,” according to Greenspan. Related:Hanukkah Reflections on My Year of Toying With Bitcoin But the news likely precipitated purchase orders from some investors who were already planning to buy bitcoin, Greenspan wrote. “The Iranian market in and of itself is likely too small and slow to have caused this move single-handedly,” according to Greenspan. “More likely, one or several players have been waiting on the side for a good buying opportunity below $7,000 per coin, and it seems one has presented itself.” Bitcoin prices surged 94 percent in 2019, making it one of the world’s best-performing assets, with roughly triple the total return charted by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of large U.S. stocks. • ‘Multi-Part’ Payments Could Bring Bigger Bitcoin Sums to Lightning Network • Bitcoin Price Set to Outshine Gold and Stocks by Big Margin in 2019... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Really_Cool_Dad', 'The last time nano was this low was...', 21, '2020-01-09 04:39', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanotrade/comments/em41bp/the_last_time_nano_was_this_low_was/', 'Dec. 1st 2017 nano was 0.229\n\nJan. 1st 2018 nano hit its ATH of $37.62 \n\nThat’s ~165x in just 30 days!!

In 2016, I supported Rand Paul, then Ted Cruz up until the primary (I am currently converting to Catholicism so I value Cruz’s Catholic background), and then Donald Trump in the general (but not much, I was vacillating between him and Johnson). I continue to be a pretty strong conservative. My economic views are left leaning, and my social views are right leaning.\n\nI came across Yang in February 2018 when I saw him mentioned offhandedly somewhere on the Internet, and I went to his website to take a look (it hasn’t changed much at all, except for all of the new pages for policies, volunteering and events). I was instantly enamored by his forward thinking policy plans, perceptiveness in the threat of automation, and the intelligence and sensibility behind his character. Honestly, I thought he had no chance- after all, he was nothing but a website at this point in time- but I kept interest and told some friends and family about him. As I began to see his interviews and as his campaign fleshed out, I joined the Yang Gang in earnest.\n\nAs a result, a lot of my economic conservatism softened out as I understood the impact of UBI, access to healthcare, and the role of economic support in shaping our communities and dealing with our social issues.\n\nHowever, I am still a conservative at heart, and despite how much I love the Yang campaign and have worked to spread the message far and wide, I disagree with him on various fronts.\n\n1. I disagree heavily with his stance on abortion. In my religious and secular views, I do not view abortion as a right. Although I tolerate contraceptives and believe greatly in sexual health and awareness, abortion- especially in later weeks of pregnancy- crosses the line for me. Roe v Wade should be overturned and not codified into law. In its place, I do support UBI, access to healthcare, improvements in sex ed and access to contraceptives- all of which would reduce abortion. I also support paid maternity leave, and improvements to our foster care system so that a pregnancy doesn’t have to be terminated.\n\n2. I also disagree heavily on his stance on 16 year olds gaining the right to vote. I’m a senior in high school, and I can’t even trust my fellow 18 year olds to make those decisions. Civics is usually only taught by your senior year of high school, so 16 year olds would be voting without even having a civics education. I think this plan is absolutely ludicrous, and we should revert the voting age to 21.\n\n3. I’m also in heavy disagreement with Yang’s support of court stuffing. The judiciary is, arguably, the most potent of the three branches of government and should not be messed with. It is supposed to be an impartial body of the nations best legal minds who interpret our laws within the context of the Constitution. Court stuffing essentially eliminates this precedent entirely. I’m also in disagreement with term limits for the Supreme Court. As our Justices gain experience on the bench, they become not only more accountable and visible to the public (eg Ginsburg, Thomas, Scalia) but also more competent at their work.\n\n4. Yang’s approach to gun control is somewhat acceptable, however my greatest issue is with licensing. In general, the government should not have a say in regards to what we can have to defend ourselves. I support the idea that some people shouldn’t have guns, but ONLY at the discretion of a court of law. I also think we should emphasize gun training much more- subsidize and emphasize it- so that lawful and morally just citizens have the ability to aptly defend themselves and others whilst not putting others at risk with their weapons.\n\n5. It doesn’t appear Yang has a strong stance on energy independence. I honestly think Yang should emphasize this more in the context of our foreign policy and economic security. Building off of the nuclear idea, as well as finding new ways to make fossil fuels cleaner and more efficient, should be a part of that (carbon capture, “clean coal”, finding new fuels, natural gas, making fracking/shale mining safer).\n\n6. As a securities trader in my spare time, a financial transaction tax would be BRUTAL. 0.1% on all trades and transactions is a LOT- especially given most trade fees are less than that. Over time, this adds up to a lot, and could kill investment in slower-moving markets where 0.1% could be the day’s gains. In the context of the trillions that flow through the derivatives and options markets each year, this becomes a massive burden for our financial industry. A reduction in the tax could work if revenue for the UBI is still needed, but we should explore other ways to raise money in less sensitive fields.\n\n7. The regulation of social media is going to be an impossible- and questionable- task. We should be striking at the heart of where hate and violence come up: economic or social insecurity, a lack of community or belonging, or negative cultural influences. I’ve been there before, and while I’ve been fortunate enough to lift myself out of that dark stage in my life (thanks to the Yang Gang!), many others still have that sense of insecurity in our society or in their personal lives. The internet is a free place, for better or worse, and we’re only ever going to get better results by attacking the core problem.\n\n8. DC and Puerto Rico are unfit to become states. As for DC, they compensate for their lack of representation by the amount of political influence there. DC’s representative is HUGELY influential in Congress, and DC is also very wealthy on top of that. As for Puerto Rico, it would be way too hard to integrate them as a state and it’s probably better for them to be sovereign.\n\n9. I support Voter ID as a means to prevent voter fraud SO LONG AS the process to get one is easy and very accessible for anybody.\n\n10. The Electoral College as it stands must be preserved and understood as one of the primary counters against the tyranny of the majority. By giving states the vote, we ensure that- especially as urbanization takes hold- every part of America gets to be heard. That means that rural states won’t be overshadowed by the urban ones, and the small man still has a seat at the table. This is at the core idea of what we are- the United STATES- and as one of the most geographically and culturally diverse countries on Earth, it would be egregious to simplify our decisions down to a popular vote. In every case, the people who live in states like Wyoming and South Dakota get snuffed out and their values and issues go unheard, as if they were already under the cultural, economic, and social influence of the bigger states. While we may sometimes get a President who didn’t earn the popular vote, that makes it ever so important that our candidates pay attention to ALL of America- not just California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida.\n\n11. I own Bitcoin and I’ve owned it since 2013 (I guess I’m lucky, right?). Cryptocurrency ought to remain free and anonymous and secure, and I don’t believe in regulating it extensively. The more we regulate it, the more it loses its purpose and vision, not only as a commodity, but also as a means of exchange.\n\nAnd that’s about it, out of Yang’s 105 or so policies, those are really the only ones I have a gripe about. I guess it goes to show how far reaching Yang’s message is. I’m not irreverent of Yang- I’m a long-standing and enthusiastic member of the Yang ...

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 slid by 2.73% on Thursday. Following on from a 1.49% fall from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,817.5. Bearish through the day, Bitcoin slid from an early morning intraday high $8,036.8 to a late intraday low $7,756.0. Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $7,795.6. Finding support late on, Bitcoin briefly hit $8,000 before sliding back into the deep red. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the current week’s gains. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was another mixed day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend for a 2 nd consecutive day, rallying by 2.52%, with Stellar’s Lumen also avoiding red (+0.04%). It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however. Ethereum (-2.08%) and Ripple’s XRP (-1.66%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-1.10%), EOS (-0.96%), Litecoin (-1.30%), and Monero’s XMR (-0.98%) also saw heavy losses on Thursday. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.25%) and Tron’s TRX (-0.66%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap jumped from $197bn levels to an early Wednesday current week high $220.27bn before easing back to sub-$210bn levels. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $208.54bn. Bitcoin’s dominance eased back to 68% levels off the back of a 2 nd consecutive day in the deep red. Trading volumes had hit $100bn levels on Wednesday before easing back. At the time of writing, volumes were at sub-$80bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.07% to $7,822.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,806.8 to a high $7,848.9. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Litecoin (+0.18%), Monero’s XMR (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.49%) joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish start for the rest, with EOS (-0.40%) and Ethereum (-0.41%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $7,870 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,984.2. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $7,848.9. Barring a broad-based crypto rally on the day, Bitcoin would likely come up short of the 23.6% FIB of $8,200. Thursday’s high $8,036.8 and first major resistance level would likely cap any upside. Failure to move through to $7,870 levels could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall back through the morning low $7,806.8 would bring the first major support level at $7,703.4 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,600 levels and the second major support level at $7,589.3.

Brexit Bill Sails Through Parliament Parliament has seen its share of dramatic votes over Brexit in recent months, as lawmakers have held up various versions of a Brexit withdrawal bill. On Thursday, however, there were no fireworks, as the Brexit bill was approved in parliament by a large majority \x96 330 in favor, with 221 votes against the bill. The UK is on its way to leaving the European Union on January 31st, but the 11-month transition period will be a major test for London and Brussels, which must hammer out a new trade deal. EU officials have said this timetable is too short, but Prime Minister Johnson insists that he will not extend the transition stage.\xa0If the sides are unable to agree on a timetable, tensions could rise and nervous investors could lose confidence in the pound. All Eyes on U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls Following a very strong ADP nonfarm payrolls report, investors are hopeful that the good news extends to the official nonfarm payrolls reports, which will be released later on Friday. The ADP report found that the economy created 202 thousand jobs, crushing the estimate of 160 thousand. This marked the highest level since April. This was followed by a strong unemployment claims release on Thursday, which dropped to 214 thousand, down from 221 thousand a week earlier. Will the good news extend to the nonfarm payrolls report? Analysts are bracing for a drop to 150 thousand, down from 266 thousand a month earlier. Wage growth is expected to rise to 0.3%, up from 0.2% in November. We could see some movement from GBP/USD after the release of these key events. Technical Analysis The pound has posted slight losses over the past few days, but faces some support barriers close by. There is immediate support at 1.3050, followed by a major support level at 1.3000. Note that the 50-EMA line is just below, at 1.2998. On the upside, there is resistance at 1.3150.

A high hash rate generally reflects the amount of miners trying to validate blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain. The more miners who enter the network, the higher the hash rate becomes, and the difficulty of the new mining algorithm adjustment is increased. The difficulty adjusts automatically to ensure that block times remain consistent at around 10 minutes per block. Hash Rate chart from Blockchain.com In September 2019, Coin Rivet reported that the Bitcoin hash rate had crossed the 100 EH/s mark, which at the time was a highly significant benchmark and milestone for the network. The hash rate has only been below 100 EH/s for just one day so far this year, indicating that a consistent hash rate above 100 EH/s seems likely going forward into the new year. A higher hash rate results in a more secure Bitcoin network, as more participants means a greater degree of decentralisation. The hash rate is therefore a direct indication of how decentralised the Bitcoin network is. However, many experts also believe Bitcoins hash rate may correlate with the assets price. So is there any merit to this theory? What could hash rate mean for BTC price? Bitcoin has seen some positive price action in the last week, rising 8% since Friday , although what portion of this is attributable to an increase in hash rate is unknown. In the past, hash rate has correlated somewhat with price action. In late 2018 , hash rates declined slightly alongside Bitcoins slump to around $4,000. The hash rate has gradually risen since along with the price of Bitcoin. Despite this uncertainty, 2020 is indeed a key year on the Bitcoin calendar, as the block reward halving approaches in the coming months. The halving will see block rewards halved to 6.25 BTC, which may put increased pressure on prices and catapult BTC back to its historic highs or beyond. Its also worth bearing in mind that current hash rates are many times greater than in 2017, when BTC last reached highs of over $20,000. Story continues The hash rate has declined today to 111 EH/s, but it still remains well above the new benchmark of 100 EH/s.

But does the cliche actually hold true? If we work with a vague definition of the World Wide Web going live in 1991 , then within the first decade that ecosystem grew faster and had more demand for compliant use cases than bitcoin arguably has today, one decade in. Related: Bitcoin Makes Biggest Weekly Price Gain Since October In 1994, the New York Times reported companies were \x93rushing\x94 to set up shop via the World Wide Web, although the user experience was still \x93slow\x94 and \x93crude.\x94 Just like blockchain technologists, early internet companies ran into scaling issues. The 1994 Times report described the web as \x93already showing signs of suffering from its own success, as crowds compete for access to popular databases.\x94 Yet, people were already starting to think about subscription paywalls for content distribution. Industry insiders were so bullish on the commercial potential that in the December 1995 issue of Wired magazine, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy predicted the rise of \x93disposable word processors and spreadsheets\x94 priced per use and delivered via Java software. Within the first decade it was clear the internet could be used for commerce, interpersonal communications, marketing and education. There were established companies using it to turn a modest profit. Blockstream alumnus and founder of the Blockchain Commons , Christopher Allen, said he is \x93concerned\x94 about the lack of bitcoin adoption at this stage, which is why he is so optimistic about scaling solutions like the lightning network. Related: Bitcoin Retraces 45 Percent of Recent Price Gains as Bulls Lose Momentum \x93Lightning does have the potential to be where you buy your steak and bread,\x94 Allen said. \x93Until you buy your bread or steak with bitcoin, you\x92re going to have to convert to some other currency, no matter how good it is as a censorship-resistant medium.\x94 Story continues Netscape Navigator 3.02 Gold. (Image via Wikimedia Commons) To be fair, cryptocurrency has already proven its usefulness through cross-border collaboration. For example, the Decred treasury has distributed roughly $3.5 million worth of cryptocurrency to more than 60 contributors, according to the community\x92s press representative. Roughly 30 percent of these contributors hail from Latin America and 15 percent are from Africa, a more global distribution than comparable Silicon Valley startups. Even so, such experiments are a far cry from the \x93mainstream adoption\x94 many fans predict bitcoin will undergo in becoming a global, self-sustaining currency. Community roots Bitcoin may be behind the internet\x92s timeline in terms of commercial use cases, but it has already achieved comparable social functions. By 2001, the New York Times was describing internet services like email as a platform for relationship-building with former coworkers and classmates, while startups pioneered video and music streaming services. One such Yahoo group reportedly included 600 people \x93exchanging hundreds of messages a month about the bankruptcy proceedings, health insurance and the fate of their retirement plans.\x94 This may be comparable to crypto communities today, which rely on forums, GitHub and social networking platforms like Twitter. According to Allen, who focused earlier in his career on core internet protocols, the internet was also designed to offer more freedom of choice to the users \x96 even though, through big-tech consolidation, the industry eventually failed to reach that vision. From left, Mark Fletcher of AskJeeves, Rich Skrenta of Topix.net and Mena Trott of SixApart speak in 2005. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons) Zcash co-creator and Electric Coin Company CEO Zooko Wilcox agreed that the early software projects he worked on were supposed to offer \x93freedom\x94 and \x93end wars,\x94 because people would just talk things out over the internet. Wilcox said, looking back at his time in the 1990s working on bitcoin\x92s predecessor, Digicash , that he idealistically underestimated the importance of economic incentives. \x93What I would tell myself, if I could use a time machine, it just being compatible [with commercial use] isn\x92t good enough,\x94 Wilcox said. \x93This was a fatal flaw in the overall design of the [open software] movement, that is relied on ongoing volunteers or donations. It didn\x92t have a built-in economic feedback loop.\x94 Listen to Leigh\x92s full interview with Zooko Wilcox In this regard, bitcoin has a great track record during this first decade. Yet, it remains to be seen if bitcoin\x92s ecosystem provides a self-sustaining model. Similar risks Some coders believe early advocacy for strong legal frameworks that protect freedom, coupled with forward-thinking precautions, could help the decentralized \x93Web3\x94 avoid or minimize early mistakes. \x93Protocols would have a lot of flexibility in terms of what types of security you need, etc., and along the way we ended up creating the central Certificate Authority (CAs) business \x85 not quite realizing that 20 years later all the CAs all got consolidated,\x94 Allen said. \x93We were supposed to be able to choose which CA we trusted. Centralization crops up in odd ways.\x94 Marco Peereboom, a Dell alumnus and Linux veteran who is also currently the Decred community\x92s New Systems Development Lead, agreed with Allen that the internet was built by idealistic young men who wanted to \x93uplift humanity.\x94 (Not unlike crypto adherents today.) \x93I\x92m extremely disappointed with where we are today,\x94 Peereboom said. \x93The amount of snooping the government is doing, I didn\x92t anticipate. \x85 More cryptography early on would have done the internet a lot of good, and more advocacy as well.\x94 Along these lines, Allen is focused on work related to user-friendly-yet-secure key management and blockchain identity standards. Meanwhile, Peereboom is working to refine Decred\x92s open source funding experiments, which is how he earns a salary today. Much like the altcoin project Dash , Decred pays freelancers through public votes and grants collected from the network itself. Plus, Decred developers can earn money anonymously based on the merits of their contributions. \x93Until the internet moves away from the ad-sponsored model, it will only get worse,\x94 Peereboom said, referring to potential surveillance and corporate dominance via upcoming Web3 models. \x93I think anonymous payments are a must-have feature for any cryptocurrency to be around,\x94 he said. \x93I hope I\x92m not making the same mistake twice. But I really do believe cryptocurrencies have the potential to change the world.\x94 Bitcoin Genesis Block, Jan. 3, 2009. (Image via Wikimedia Commons) Beyond bitcoin From the perspective of veteran bitcoiners like Peereboom, many of whom are now focused on altcoin projects, bitcoin\x92s weakness is how difficult it is to update the software.

BTC has now broken most of its support levels and seems to be in a free fall, believed to be due to miner capitulation. Bitcoin has been consolidating since last month, and as such some analysts thought BTC would bounce back up at some point between $7,500 and $8,000. However, price movement went the other way and seems to be going down further. Will BTC recover soon? Let’s take a look at Bitcoin’s chart. BTCUSD chart, thanks to Trading View At the time of writing, Bitcoin is on a very bearish trend. Lower highs are giving way to significant price drops. Since the massive bull market that took Bitcoin close to $14,000 earlier in the year, the coin has been dropping in value following a downtrend that was only broken in late October when price broke through a number of key resistance levels (around the 200-day, 50-day, and 20-day EMAs). Bitcoin is now 32% down from October’s high of $10,350 and 50% down from the yearly high in June. Last week , I said I expected BTC to find a bottom near its 200-day EMA and that Bitcoin would bounce to around $10,000 soon. BTC has instead broken below its 200-day EMA and there isn’t much support volume to stop its fall. The current Bitcoin trend History shows us that BTC is prone to huge drops between 30% and 40% during bull seasons. Therefore, I don’t advise that you fight the trend, but surf it for as long as possible. Last week, I underlined that within the next three to five weeks, we could see a major reversal after a period of serious accumulation by ‘hodlers’. We’re still in an accumulation phase and the current downtrend is proof. Volume is again at yearly highs, currently above $28 billion, due to sell-off activity. In addition, the volume profile shows the next strong support level to be all the way down at $5,000. This means there is still a lot of room for a further drop. Story continues Will the trend reverse soon? As veteran traders and investors usually say, smart money “buys when there’s blood on the streets”. I’ve been saying for the past month that I’m waiting for major drops to make hefty new entries. Moments like these are highly welcomed and appreciated. I strongly believe Bitcoin to be a long-term store of value, especially as traditional markets continue to show weaknesses. How can the markets continue to push higher throughout the year after the ECB’s recent rate cuts, the continuous share buybacks from huge corporations, or the inverted bond yield shoving investors away towards riskier assets? In addition, repo market activity – as in loans from central banks to commercial and investment banks – has spiked to new monthly records. That adds up to another signal of weakness of the general economy. In conclusion, investors and traders should pay attention to the overall economic panorama, as it will most likely be a major catalyst for worldwide BTC adoption. Safe trades!

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On 3rd January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

Meaning BTC can not be used for immediate exchange, for example at a store. You have to wait for an average of 10 mins (historically max was 2+ hours), for a confirmation to guarantee the customer didn't RBF you (rip you off). Meaning it's useless as a currency.

The user's cost is possibly larger for bitcoin than for legacy systems.\n\nSo who pays the rest of the miner cost, which is the block subsidy? That is paid by the current holders of any amount of cash balance. The holders pay this cost in the form of coin number inflation. It is difficult to observe the effect of the rising number of coins, because the coin price is overshadowed by changes in the demand.\n\nSo lets just recap what the demand is: Every individuals urge to hold a number of coins, and to which price. So it can not be expressed with a single variable, it is a set of amount/price pairs, or a curve. Then aggregate these price pairs for every potential user.\n\nWhen a user want more coins for a price, or less, or a new user comes in and want some coins for a price, or an old user leaves, it changes the demand and therefore the 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: ['Bitcoin fell by 2.04% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 4.7% rally from, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,013.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $8,243.0. While falling short of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin broke through the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 early on. Bearish through the late morning, Bitcoin fell to an intraday low $7,991.8 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,833.57, Bitcoin struck a late intraday high $8,282.4. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $8,360.67, Bitcoin broke back through the 23.6% FIB. In spite of a late pullback through the 23.6% FIB, Bitcoin held onto $8,000 levels at the day end. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the current week’s gains. Bitcoin was up by 8.82%, Monday through Saturday. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was another mixed day for the majors. EOS (+0.34%), Litecoin (+0.71%), Monero’s XMR (+0.07%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.56%) found support. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV sliding by 12.11% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-1.19%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.06%), Ethereum (-1.56%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.58%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.11%) also saw red. For the current week, it was bullish across the crypto top 10, however. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, Monday through Saturday, surging by 36.87%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+16.76%), EOS (+11.59%), and Litecoin (+14.05%), also saw solid gains. Binance Coin (+6.27%), Ethereum (+5.41%), Monero’s XMR (+8.44%), Ripple’s XRP (+8.60%), Stellar’s Lumen (+6.77%), and Tron’s TRX (+7.7%) saw more modest gains. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap jumped from $197bn levels to an early Wednesday current week high $220.27bn before easing back. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $214.86bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance held onto 68% levels in spite of the loss on Saturday. Trading volumes revisited $100bn levels on Saturday before easing back. At the time of writing, volumes were at $89bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.73% to $8,072.4. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $7,951.7 before striking a high $8,072.4. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a sea of green across the crypto top 10. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.01%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.9%), and Litecoin (+3.10%) led the way early on. Monero’s XMR (+0.22%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.65%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.30%) trailed the pack. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $8,100 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,200.13 and 23.6% FIB of $8,200. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $8,072.4. Barring a broad-based extended crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance level and 23.6% FIB would likely cap any upside. Failure to move through to $8,100 levels could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall back through the morning low $7,951.7 would bring the first major support level at $7,909.53 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,900 levels and the second major support level at $7,805.37.

That’s the message to anyone spooked by bitcoin’s brutal sell-off from several bullish experts interviewed by CoinDesk. The bellwether cryptocurrency has tumbled 11.5 percent in the last week or so, likely due to a lack of positive catalysts entering the picture and China’s latest crackdown on digital asset trading. It briefly dipped below the psychological level of $7,000 and as of this writing is trading around $7,117. But zooming out the lens a bit and taking a macro perspective, experts note at least three plausible reasons to think this may be just a hiccup for bitcoin. Related: Bitcoin Is Looking at a Short-Term Bull Reversal if Prices Pass $7,400 On the demand side, institutional trading platforms like Bakkt and Fidelity Digital Asset Services (FDAS) are starting to see uptake. Retail bitcoin purchases are on the rise at the popular consumer app Square as well. And all else equal, the expected halving of mining rewards next year bodes well on the supply side since it will reduce the amount of new bitcoin regularly injected into the market. “While the latest drop in price is a short-term cause for concern, the fundamentals around BTC and increasing institutional adoption continue up and to the right,” said Jehan Chu, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Kenetic, a venture capital and trading firm based in Hong Kong. Bakkt to business After a disappointing start in September, the Bakkt futures market has started to ramp up in earnest, hitting an all-time high on Nov. 22, with 2,728 contracts traded. That was a 68 percent increase on the day prior while open interest was up 29 percent on the day. Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts that have not yet been settled. A subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE, which also owns the New York Stock Exchange), Bakkt is a regulated platform and exchange for the purchase, sale and storage of crypto assets aimed at institutional traders and companies. Story continues Related: Charities Put a Bitcoin Twist on Giving Tuesday Its role has been to increase confidence and trust within the crypto-sphere amongst larger funds by offering more sophisticated trading instruments such as futures contracts that can be utilized to hedge against risk. “It’s actually good that it’s going to take longer for bitcoin to hit the next all-time high because it shows how the market is maturing and with more institutions jumping in,” said Josh Rager, an analyst and co-founder at Blockroots, an education platform for trading focused on the BTC market and crypto-assets. High Fidelity Similarly, platforms targeting large investors, such as FDAS , launched earlier this year by mutual-fund powerhouse Fidelity Investments, provide a vital service for those larger funds seeking a safer avenue to enter crypto without having to rely on exchanges to store their crypto. They are likely boosting long-term sentiment by providing custody options for digital assets, experts told CoinDesk. Fidelity Digital Assets, the nascent cryptocurrency trading business servicing institutional investors, also features an onboarding service with dedicated client support that makes the process of entering the space more convenient and legit from a large investor’s perspective. Institutional adoption continues at a “rapid pace,” said Gabor Gubacs, director of digital assets strategy at asset management firm VanEck. “Lower BTC prices are more accessible and healthier entry points for new BTC allocators,” said Gubacs. To be sure, it’s not as accessible as some may have hoped. Gurbacs’ firm, for example, withdrew a proposed bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) from consideration by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in September, after the regulator signaled it was in no hurry to approve any such vehicle for retail investors. Instead, VanEck is selling shares in an ETF-like bitcoin fund strictly to institutions. Squaring off Another encouraging sign for the bulls is the fact that first-time buyers of bitcoin through Square’s Cash app have roughly doubled , with the company’s bitcoin revenue climbing 244 percent year-over-year to $1.27 billion in the third quarter. Admittedly, Square only started offering bitcoin purchases in November 2017 (near the peak of the last bull market), so that triple-digit growth is from a small base. Also, the company’s profits from bitcoin sales have been comparatively tiny, in the low seven figures. Still, for Chu, the data bolsters the case for optimism, when combined with the developments on the institutional side. “Bakkt trading volumes are steadily increasing, retail purchases on Square are at high levels, and platforms like Fidelity continue to create comprehensive access to Bitcoin for their customers – all of which are bullish long-term signs for bitcoin,” Chu said. ‘Fundamentals are different’ Then there are the key metrics about the asset itself. Rager noted that the hash rate, a measure of how much computing power is being devoted to the bitcoin network, has tripled since the previous all-time price high of $20,000 December 2017. In his interpretation, institutions are selling to force weaker hands to capitulate, so the larger funds can accumulate BTC at lower prices ahead of the halving expected in May 2020. Jonny Moe, a crypto day trader and analyst, agreed that the halving was the single biggest factor relating to the bullish long-term case and that BTC itself is a deflationary currency whose purchasing power should grow over time. “To this point, all the evidence we have is that price has respected this disinflation in supply,” Moe said. “Until we see it stop following this four-year cycle, the most simplistic long term view is to just respect it and let it continue.” But bear in mind that this point is up for debate . Some traders aren’t sure history will repeat itself. Previously, those buying bitcoin in anticipation of the halving had the wind at their back, in the form of an already-bullish market, crypto trader Willy Woo noted recently. “Well this time around, we have gone $14k->$7.5k and that’s killing off weak miners who are dumping and dying,” Woo tweeted . “This adds to the already bearish action, so no happy front running 6-months out due to sell pressure. You can’t draw repeat fractals, the fundamentals are different.” Disclosure: This author holds no cryptocurrency at the time of writing .

BTC broke most of its support levels during November as the coin looked to be free falling. However, BTC found support near $6,700 last week and bounced back up to around $7,800 before dropping again. Will BTC recover soon? Let’s take a look at Bitcoin’s chart, courtesy of TradingView . At the time of writing, Bitcoin is on a very bearish trend. Lower highs are giving way to significant price drops. Since the massive bull market that took Bitcoin close to $14,000 earlier in the year, the coin has been dropping in value following a downtrend that was only broken in late October when price surprisingly broke through a number of key resistance levels (around the 200-day, 50-day, and 20-day EMAs). Bitcoin is now about 35% down from October’s high of $10,350 and close to 50% down from the yearly high in June. Last month , I said I expected BTC to find a bottom near its 200-day EMA and that Bitcoin would bounce to around $10,000. BTC has instead broken below its 200-day EMA and there isn’t much support volume to stop another fall. If the $6,700 level was to be broken, the next stop for BTC, if the volume profile is to be believed, is just above $5,000. The current Bitcoin trend History shows us that BTC is prone to huge drops between 30% and 40% during bull seasons. Therefore, I don’t advise that you fight the trend, but surf it for as long as possible. Last week, I underlined that within the next three to five weeks, we could see a major reversal after a period of serious accumulation by ‘hodlers’. We’re still in an accumulation phase and the current downtrend is proof. Volume has dropped to around $17 billion as a result of the consolidation period. This means there is still a lot of room for a further drop if volume picks up again. Will the trend reverse soon? As veteran traders and investors usually say, smart money “buys when there’s blood on the streets”. I’ve been saying for the past month that I’m waiting for major drops to make new entries. Moments like these are highly welcomed and appreciated. Story continues I strongly believe Bitcoin to be a long-term store of value, especially as traditional markets continue to show weaknesses. How can the markets continue to push higher throughout the year after the ECB’s recent rate cuts, the continuous share buybacks from huge corporations, or the inverted bond yield shoving investors away towards riskier assets? In addition, repo market activity – as in loans from central banks to commercial and investment banks – has spiked to new monthly records. That adds up to another signal of weakness for the general economy. In conclusion, investors and traders should pay attention to the overall economic panorama, as it will most likely be a major catalyst for worldwide BTC adoption. Safe trades!

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On 3rd January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

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 rallied by 8.36% on Tuesday. Reversing a 0.97% fall from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,772.6. Bullish throughout the day, Bitcoin rallied from an early morning intraday low $8,095.8 to a late intraday high $8,829.0. Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin broke through the major resistance levels and 23.6% FIB of $8,200. While pulling back from $8,800 levels, Bitcoin held above the third major resistance level at $8,408.57 at the day end. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the upward momentum. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a particularly bullish day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, surging by a whopping 145%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+30.69%), EOS (+22.09%), Ethereum (+15.51%), Litecoin (+17.81%), Ripple’s XRP (+10.68%), and Tron’s TRX (+13.38%) also bounced. Binance Coin (+9.63%), Monero’s XMR (+8.54%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+9.03%) trailed the pack on the day. Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap rallied from a Monday low $215.38 to a Tuesday current week high $244.24bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $243bn. Bitcoin’s dominance tumbled to 65% levels as the broader market surged on Tuesday. Trading volumes also jumped, hitting $168bn levels before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $167.5bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.38% to $8,739.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $8,661.5 before striking a high $8,859.7. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV was down by 7.28% to lead the way down. Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash ABC also joined Bitcoin in the red, with early losses of 0.62% and 0.26% respectively. Story continues It was bullish for the rest of the pack, however. Binance Coin (2.68%), Monero’s XMR (+3.81%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+3.65%) led the way early on. EOS (+0.60%), Litecoin (+1.08%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.88%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.88%) saw modest gains. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $8,859.7 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,035.8. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high to $9,000 levels. Barring a broad-based extended crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance level at $9,035.8 would likely cap any upside. Failure to break through the morning high could see Bitcoin give up some of Tuesday’s gains. A fall back through the morning low $8,661.5 to sub-$8,600 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,302.6 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should avoid sub-$8,600 levels on the day.

As previously reported by Coin Rivet , the $8,830 level will be a stern test for BTC as price was rejected there on October 10 as well as numerous times in May before the eventual rally to $14,000. Bitcoin will now either come back to test the $8,450 level of support or attempt another breakout above $8,830, which could spur a rally towards the psychological level of $10,000. However, before $10,000 is tested, there is another level of resistance at $9,330, which became a level of support following the bearish reversal from June\x92s local high. The daily relative strength index (RSI) remains in a bullish position moving into the second half of the week after making a clear higher high of around 70 during yesterday\x92s rally. The stochastics also reiterate the bullish sentiment with clear upticks in the bullish control zone demonstrating that more upside price action is likely in the coming week. Another bullish case for Bitcoin is that the 22 and 50 exponential moving averages (EMA) are moving at a rate of knots towards the 200 EMA, which would indicate a golden cross on the daily chart that will undoubtedly cause a significant rally to the upside.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,428.77 and the second major resistance level at $7,487.73. While easing back to sub-$7,500 levels, Bitcoin held onto $7,400 levels until a late sell-off. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to a late intraday low $7,315.8. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,304.07, Bitcoin found support in the final hour to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels earlier in the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Monero’s XRM led the way, rallying by 6.03% to replace Stellar’s Lumen in the crypto top 10 (by market cap).

Binance Coin (-0.21%), EOS (-0.22%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (-1.62%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.24%) also joined Bitcoin in the red for the week.

It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.26%), Ethereum (-0.23%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.27%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,390 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,477.73. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,400 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally on the day, resistance at $7,500 would likely limit any upside.

Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,200 levels. The second major support level at $7,202.67 should limit any downside on the day.

Today's Key News: ['View Bitcoin is facing temporary bullish exhaustion, according to Wednesday’s “doji” candle. The case for a notable pullback will strengthen if prices break below Wednesday’s low of $8,555. That could yield a drop to $8,200. A move above the hourly chart resistance at $8,705 would allow a re-test of Wednesday’s high near $8,900. The bitcoin market istelling a tale of bullish exhaustion with indecisive price action following arise to the highest point since November. The top cryptocurrency witnessed two-way business on Wednesday. Prices rose from lows near $8,550 seen during the Asian trading hours to a two-month high of $8,903, only to end the day (UTC) on a flat note at $8,808, according to CoinDesk’s Bitcoin Price Index . Essentially, bitcoin createda “doji” candle, which is widely considered a sign of indecision in themarketplace. Related: JPMorgan Veterans’ Kadena Launches Public Blockchain, Integrates Wallet to Cosmos Network In this case, however, the candle could be considered a sign of buyer exhaustion, as it has appeared following a sharp rally from $6,850 to $8,900 and suggests the indecision is predominantly among the bulls. The price action seen so far today is telling the same story. The cryptocurrency fell from $8,800 to $8,575 during the Asian trading hours and has struggled to chart a strong bounce ever since. This is in contrast to the quick reversals from sub-$8,600 levels seen in the previous two days. At press time, bitcoin is trading near $8,600, representing a one percent drop on a 24-hour basis. Daily and hourly charts Bitcoin now risks a deeper pullback below Wednesday’s low of $8,555. A drop through that support would validate buyer exhaustion signaled by the doji candle (above left), attracting selling pressure.

That would open the doors for $8,210 (target as per the measured move method). Story continues That said, the short-term outlook would turn bearish only if any pullback ends up violating the bullish higher low of $7,667 created Jan. 10. That, however, looks unlikely with the five- and 10-day averages continuing to trend north. These averages, currently located at $8,508 and $8,276, respectively, tend to reverse pullbacks when they are on an upward trajectory. Further, the longer duration charts have recently turned bullish. Wednesday’s high of $8,903will likely come into play if prices violate the lower high of $8,705 seen onthe hourly chart in the next few hours. A break above $8,900, a level that has acted as strong resistance in the last 48 hours, would likely invite stronger buying pressure, yielding a quick move to the 200-day average at $9,100.

However, despite the recent decline, LTC price has risen almost 19% since last week. Litecoin experienced exponential growth during the summer of 2019, hitting a yearly high of about $140 in August before breaking down over the second half of the year. Litecoin reached a low of around $37 before recovering to $40, where the altcoin consolidated for a few weeks. Overall, from high to low, Litecoin lost about 68% of its value in the second half of 2019. Interestingly, at the time of writing, LTC seems to be in better shape after a much-needed pump earlier this week. Litecoin has already pushed over $50 and seems to be targeting $60, but is facing resistance from the 200-day EMA. Will the positive trend continue? Let’s take a look at the LTC chart, courtesy of TradingView . As you can see, after touching the 200-day EMA (the blue line) earlier this week, LTC seems to be dropping back down. Last week , I mentioned I could not foresee the price of LTC making a substantial move without first pumping above $50.

As previously reported by Coin Rivet , the $8,830 level will be a stern test for BTC as price was rejected there on October 10 as well as numerous times in May before the eventual rally to $14,000. Bitcoin will now either come back to test the $8,450 level of support or attempt another breakout above $8,830, which could spur a rally towards the psychological level of $10,000. However, before $10,000 is tested, there is another level of resistance at $9,330, which became a level of support following the bearish reversal from Junes local high. The daily relative strength index (RSI) remains in a bullish position moving into the second half of the week after making a clear higher high of around 70 during yesterdays rally. The stochastics also reiterate the bullish sentiment with clear upticks in the bullish control zone demonstrating that more upside price action is likely in the coming week. Another bullish case for Bitcoin is that the 22 and 50 exponential moving averages (EMA) are moving at a rate of knots towards the 200 EMA, which would indicate a golden cross on the daily chart that will undoubtedly cause a significant rally to the upside.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.78% to $7,519.0. A relatively bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,450.0 to a high $7,519.0. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Binance Coin (+1.01%), EOS (+1.20%), Ethereum (+0.98%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.95%) found strong support early. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.38%) and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.37%) trailed the pack through the first hour. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,520 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,628.87. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,600 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound on the day, Thursday’s high $7,690 and first major resistance level at $7,628.87 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,520 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall back to sub-$7,500 levels would bring the first major support level at $7,353.87 into play. Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,300 support levels on the day.

A variety of tactics are used by hackers and their methods are improving every day. The most common strategies adopted by scammers include financial pyramid schemes, exchanges targeting exit scams, fake web and hardware wallets, and even Ponzi schemes. In order to better understand how hackers successfully steal your cryptocurrency , I will take an in-depth look at each method using real-life examples. Hopefully, by understanding how hackers operate and what red flags to look out for, youll be better prepared to fend them off and successfully protect your coins. In this article, Ill discuss Ponzi schemes, financial pyramid schemes, and fake web and hardware wallets. Ponzi schemes According to Investopedia , Ponzi schemes (or scams) are based on fraudulent investment management services. Investors typically contribute money to the portfolio manager who promises them a high return. Afterwards, when those investors want their money back, they are paid out with the incoming funds contributed by later investors. The person organising this type of fraud is in charge of controlling the entire operation they merely transfer funds from one client to another and forgo any real investment activities. One of the biggest Ponzi schemes in crypto one that currently keeps adding selling pressure to Bitcoin is the Plus Token scam. Plus Token was a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme disguised as a high-yield investment program. Platform administrators closed down the operation in June 2019 after withdrawing over $3 billion in stolen cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EOS. A report by Chainalysis, a US-based blockchain analysis company, claims Plus Token was one of the largest Ponzi schemes ever and was potentially responsible for the 2019 downturn in BTC price. Story continues The report claims that there are still at least 20,000 BTC and 790,000 ETH missing which could be dumped on the market at any time. Financial pyramid schemes A financial pyramid scheme is structured so that the initial schemer must recruit other investors who will continue to recruit other investors, and those investors will then continue to recruit additional investors, and so on. There will be an incentive that is presented as an investment opportunity, such as the right to sell a particular product or high earnings per recruit. Each investor pays the person who recruited them and so on. The recipient must share the proceeds with those in the higher levels of the pyramid structure. One key difference is that pyramid schemes are harder to prove than Ponzi schemes. They are also better protected because the legal teams behind corporations are much more powerful than those protecting an individual. Just recently in Brazil , a group called Bitcoin Banco (Bitcoin Bank) is alleged to have conducted a million dollar exit scam . The group was in charge of a great deal of exchanges in the country and promised set returns to investors who traded the exchange currency, Negociecoins. However, according to analysts, This profit did not exist because the company needs investor money to produce order book orders. Fake wallets One of the most common mistakes by junior cryptocurrency users is to fall prey to fake cryptocurrency web wallets and hardware wallets. Since some users trust Google and other search engines to look up websites, its quite easy to click on the wrong website. To avoid making this mistake, always check the website youre accessing is the real one. There are loads of fake URLs and GitHub repositories with the sole purpose of stealing your precious cryptocurrency. A simple solution is to save websites you visit often, like web wallets and exchanges, into your browser favourites list. That way, it will be near impossible to fall prey to fake URL hacks. Conclusion Before making any decisions about trading your cryptocurrency or investing in a new coin, make sure you complete thorough research. Keep on top of the latest news and trends as reports of scams begin to increase. Most of all, dont forget to apply everyday digital best practices to your activity. Cryptocurrency scams and vulnerabilities will continue to evolve as the industry grows and its your responsibility to stay protected. Safe trades!

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 rose by 0.18% on Saturday. Following on from a 1.79% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,891.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $8,965.0 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,025.53, Bitcoin fell to a mid-morning intraday low $8,791.1. Steering clear of the first major support level at $8,699.73, Bitcoin recovered to an afternoon high $8,952.3 before easing back. Holding onto $8,800 levels was key late on. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, in spite of the recent upward momentum. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash SV continued to see red on Saturday, sliding by 13.52% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-1.39%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-8.34%), EOS (-2.32%), Litecoin (-2.61%), and Monero’s XMR (-2.14%) also saw red. Ethereum (+2.67%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.02%), Stellar’s Lumen (+1.27%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.06%) joined Bitcoin in the green. While it was a mixed bag on Saturday, it’s been a bullish week for the crypto majors, Monday through Saturday. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, rallying by 51.95%, with Stellar’s Lumen and Bitcoin Cash ABC up by 25.13% and by 24.89% respectively. Whilst the rest of the majors saw more modest gains, it was double-digit gains across the board. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rallied from a Monday low $215.38 to a Saturday current week high $248.04bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $243.85bn. Bitcoin’s dominance moved back to 66% levels following the mixed day on Saturday. Trading volumes continued to ease back from $177bn levels hit earlier in the week. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $125.39bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.1% to $8,900.1. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $8,870.1 before striking a high $8,901.4. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was yet another mixed start to the day for the crypto top 10. Binance Coin (-0.05%), Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.59%), EOS (-0.01%), Monero’s XMR (-0.49), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.34%) saw red early. It was a bullish start for the rest, with Litecoin up by 1.03% to lead the way. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to steer clear of sub-$8,880 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,974.03. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through Saturday’s high $8,965.0. Barring a broad-based extended crypto rally on the day, the first major resistance and Friday’s high $9,000 would likely continue to cap any upside. In the event of a breakout, the second major resistance level at $9,056.47 would likely come into play. Failure to steer clear of sub-$8,880 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall back through the morning low $8,870.1 would bring the first major support level at $8,800.13 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the second major support level at $8,708.67.

Paul Chou was the firm's CEO while Juthica Chou was the president and chief risk officer, per their LinkedIn profiles. They are also husband and wife. As a temporary replacement, Larry E. Thompson will act as interim CEO and lead director of Ledger Holdings. A Wall Street veteran, Thompson was the former vice-chair of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). LedgerX offers bitcoin options contracts to both retail and institutional investors. LedgerX made headlines in August after the announcement of a new physically-delivered futures product soured. After announcing the new product, a source told The Block the firm hit a snag with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Indeed, the firm never secured the proper licensing to offer futures to retail clientele, the agency later confirmed to The Block. A day after the original announcement, LedgerX pulled back on the announcement, which included the launch of a new retail platform Omni. Previously, LedgerX strictly catered to institutional investors. Sources familiar with Chou's thinking told The Block at the time that he was under the impression that the agency was playing favorites, paving an easier path for its better-connected rivals, such as Bakkt and ErisX. Indeed, the former Goldman Sachs trader threatened to sue the regulator following the botched launch. "Also breaking, i've decided to sue the CFTC for anti competitive behavior, breach of duty, going against the regs, etc.," one tweet noted. Since August, Bakkt has launched its market for physically-delivered futures. On Monday, it launched a cash-settled contract on ICE Singapore as well as an option tied to its bitcoin future.... - 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: ['(Bloomberg) -- Cryptocurrency skeptic Peter Schiff said he can’t access his Bitcoin holdings after his digital wallet stopped accepting his password. “I just lost all the Bitcoin I have ever owned,” Schiff, chief global strategist at Alliance Global Partners, said in a series of posts on his unverified Twitter account. “My wallet got corrupted somehow and my password is no longer valid.” In a follow-up post, Schiff said it was “not that great a tragedy” as the Bitcoin were gifted to him. “My plan was to HODL and go down with the ship anyway,” he said, employing a phrase used to describe holding on to the security. “The difference is that my ship sank before Bitcoin.” Many Twitter commentators pointed out that the Bitcoin holdings still exist, even if Schiff cannot currently access them. Schiff is also not the first victim of crypto password issues. Customers lost access to about C$190 million ($145 million) of crypto holdings at digital-asset exchange Quadriga CX last year as access to the firm’s digital wallets was lost with the unexpected death of its CEO. Schiff, a noted gold bug, is frequently critical of Bitcoin. In a November tweet he claimed marijuana was more useful than the digital currency as “you can smoke pot and get high. You can’t do anything with Bitcoin.” Bitcoin, the largest digital currency, is often proclaimed by cryptocurrency proponents as “digital gold” and a superior storage of value to the yellow metal thanks in part to its eye-popping gains of more than 9,000,000% since July 2010.

Dual Currency Investment is the first-of-its-kind digital asset management product released by Matrixport. The calculation method is determined by the "Linked Price", and it is guaranteed that one of the two digital assets will always generate profit. Recently, Matrixport released Dual Currency-USDⓢ with the annualized yield as high as 100%. As its name implies, it is a Dual Currency investment that supports USD stable currency (USDT/USDC) payment. Compared with Dual Currency-BTC, investors will feel more comfortable with the Dual Currency-USDⓢ, because they don\'t need to bear the fluctuation risk of BTC as the investment currency is USD stable currency. When the investment is at expiry, investors can collect more USDC or get cheaper BTC.（ https://shence.matrixtechfin.com:8406/t/y ） According to Matrixport\'s official product parameters: Linked Price: 8,000; Expiry Date: 25-Jan-2020; Yield: 5%; Investment Currency: USDC On 9-Jan-2020, the user bought 10,000 USDC notional of the above product. On 25-Jan-2020, if BTC/USD Settlement Price is above 8,000 USD, The user gets 5% return on USDC, which is 10,000(1+5%) USDC, which is 10,500 USDC. If BTC/USD Settlement Price is at or above 8,000 USD, the user gets 10,000/8,000(1+5%) BTC, which is 1.3125 BTC. Basically, the User will definitely get 5% yield on the expiry date - the only uncertainty is whether to receive BTC or USDC, depending on where BTC/USD is on the expiry date. Dual Currency-USDⓢ currently supports two types of USD stable currency payment, USDT or USDC. Please be noted that when an investor uses USDT for investment, it will be valued in equivalent USDC. For example, if the current exchange rate of USDT is 0.99 USDC when the investor pays 1000 USDT to buy Dual Currency - USDⓢ, the actual investment amount will be 990 USDC. The reason for using this calculation method is that the exchange rate of USDC is more stable and secure, and thus USDC could improve the asset security for the investors and platforms.

Bitcoin endured a distressing exponential moving average death cross on the daily chart on November 23, with several analysts suggesting that a descent to $5,900 is now on the cards. However, there has been a period of relative calm since the death cross, with Bitcoin languishing along the $7,350 level of support following a brief rally to $7,850 earlier this week. The previous two death crosses took place during the 2014 and 2018 bear markets, with Bitcoin proceeding to fall by more than 60% on both occasions. A slump of the same magnitude this time around would take Bitcoin to last Decembers bitter lows of $3,150, although analysts like Tone Vays and Peter Schiff have been calling for targets lower than $1,800. In order for Bitcoin to rally back towards new highs, it would need to trigger a technical reversal, which would only happen if it can close a daily candle above the death cross at $8,662. The most likely stopping points for Bitcoin over the coming weeks are the $6,750 and $5,900 levels of support, both of which held for significant amounts of time during the 2018 bear market. Upside targets remain at $7,900 and $8,400, although a news event may be required to drive attention and positive sentiment in the market.

Twitter account ‘Bitcoin Block Bot’ alerted Bitcoin users that 51,511 BTC, worth around $445 million, had been moved on the blockchain on January 19.

The value of the transaction fee is so small in comparison to the amount transferred that, without using scientific notation, it is effectively zero percent. The sender used the SegWit network for the transaction, saving 30% on fees from the normal BTC network. However, Bitcoin block explorer Blockstream pointed out that the fee could have been even smaller. The company estimated that the sender could have saved an extra 16% had they opted to use SegWit-Bech32. Large transactions for tiny fees On January 16, Coin Rivet reported that more than 123,000 BTC was moved in a single transaction by crypto exchange Bitfinex, who sent the colossal $1.1 billion in funds to a cold storage address for just $0.49. A similar transaction was also successfully processed in November 2019, with a whale moving 44,000 BTC , around $300 million at the time, for just $0.32. Unfortunately, fees this low are only available to huge transactions, and the percentage transaction fee to send smaller values of BTC is considerably greater. Story continues Many Bitcoin users are hoping that the Bitcoin Lightning Network will significantly reduce fees associated with smaller or micro Bitcoin transactions and make the network feasible for use as a form of digital cash rather than a store of value. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) founder Roger Ver has frequently criticised the original Bitcoin network’s ability to facilitate low-cost micro transactions, which was the basis of founding BCH as a functional digital currency for everyday payments.

It turns out the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission previously told the asset management firm that it could file the proposal — only if it pulled it immediately afterward, according to Blockforce’s CEO. The proposal was filed under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which would have resulted in it becoming automatically approved within 75 days. Yet, the firm followed the regulators’ suggestion and pulled the proposal just a day after it was filed. The SEC declined to comment on whether or not it had given the initial proposal a green light. “They said, ‘We liked the idea … but we’re going to ask you to pull it immediately because we don’t want to see it get approved just yet,’” Blockforce CEO Eric Ervin said. “They were really interested and engaged on it. They came back to us and said, ‘If you did it as an interval fund, then you might have a chance.’” Related: SEC Reveals Telegram’s Communications With Investors, Seeks to Question Advisor With an interval fund, investors can only get in and out of the fund once per period (usually weekly, monthly or quarterly), making it less vulnerable to manipulation. The regulator worried a fund that traded throughout the day and had open liquidity would be subject to manipulation. The fund also trades on the net value of the underlying asset, rather than on large premiums of the asset. “If we had more resources at the time, we probably would have done it and tried to get an ETF approved,” Ervin said. “We had a lot going on in the business, and we put it on hold.” For Blockforce, a seasoned ETF issuer that had already launched a blockchain-based ETF, getting the ball rolling on an eventual bitcoin ETF and being the first to release a proposal for something like one was more important than keeping its idea a secret between Blockforce and the SEC, Ervin said. Story continues Blockforce developed the diversified and bitcoin-conservative ETF to put the regulator at ease; even if bitcoin went to zero, investors would only lose 15 percent. According to Ervin, the regulator saw an opportunity to get more public comment on a contentious issue. Related: SEC Chair Clayton: Bitcoin Needs ‘Better Regulation’ Before Major Exchange Listing “It was a known fact that we would need to file if it was going to go on the public record,” Ervin said. “It puts another application for people to comment on. The SEC has been really eager to get comments on a bitcoin ETF or an ETF with bitcoin in it.” Ervin predicts the industry will eventually get a pure bitcoin ETF passed when the SEC’s leadership changes, and envisions current Chairman Jay Clayton stepping down and commissioner Hester “Crypto Mom” Pierce becoming the new head. Bitcoin is a valuable volatile asset for any portfolio, Ervin added. If any portfolio is rebalanced regularly, two volatile and uncorrelated assets that are bought low and sold high can help to dampen overall volatility. “A bitcoin ETF is a perfect example of an non-correlated alternative asset that works well to balance out a portfolio of just stocks and bonds,” Ervin said.

When the halving event finally comes around in May, I see two major possibilities: A) BTC increases in price in order to accommodate miners at the current mining difficulty. B) BTC price stays more or less the same and we see miners capitulating as they become unprofitable. To better understand which scenario is most likely to happen, I believe two key data points need to be taken into consideration – namely the hash rate (and expected hash rate) and the behaviour of hodlers. Bitcoin’s hash rate has once again reached new all-time highs , but how does that relate to the amount of Bitcoins that haven’t moved? Will Bitcoin hodlers keep holding during a bull market? At what percentage levels have miners and hodlers sold the majority of their positions? And does the hash rate predict price swings or the behaviour of hodlers? Hopefully, I’ll be able to answer some of these questions below. Hash rate hits new all-time highs CM estimates have Bitcoin's Difficulty increasing by ~8% in 4 days time to reach a new ATH at ~15,000,000,000,000 This is due to the implied hash rate of Bitcoin maintaining ATH levels since Jan 1 pic.twitter.com/MfLOKTJNiK — CoinMetrics.io (@coinmetrics) January 10, 2020 As Bitcoin’s hash rate increases, mining difficulty also increases. That’s exactly what’s been happening with Bitcoin since the beginning of 2020. As estimated by CoinMetrics, a research firm specialising in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has been steadily increasing at a rate of 8% over the last four days. The analysis conducted by CoinMetrics shows that in the next four days, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty will reach a record value of approximately 15,000,000,000,000 TH/s. Just as the hash rate is a good measure for price prediction, the difficulty adjustment is also an important data point. Some believe it has some correlation with cryptocurrency price drops and spikes as miners enter and leave the market. The Bitcoin difficulty target adjusts every two weeks to ensure that blocks are added at regular intervals. Therefore, this data point is closely linked to the profit of the miners. Story continues Consequently, the link extends to miner capitulation and the general market price as well. As such, it seems there is a direct correlation between the difficulty adjustment and Bitcoin rallies. At what point do miners sell? Rien ne va plus #bitcoin 🚀 pic.twitter.com/epwODQ40cm — PlanB (@100trillionUSD) September 10, 2019 One of my favourite crypto analysts and the creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow model, PlanB, suggested the price of Bitcoin has a tendency to rally during mining difficulty downturns. The analyst revealed that since the creation of Bitcoin, there have been several cycles of difficulty adjustments, and for each new rally, the trend has been one of a declining magnitude. Therefore, I personally believe that during the next bull run, we could see miners and hodlers selling a great deal of their positions when Bitcoin’s price hits between 1,000% to 5,000% above the difficulty bottom. If you’re wondering about “when”, historically we have two periods of price appreciation and two periods of price downfall. Since 2018 and 2019 have been declining years compared to all-time highs, I believe Bitcoin will pump over 2020 and 2021. At what point do hodlers sell? Bitcoin UTXO age distribution Interestingly, for Bitcoin’s price to skyrocket, hodlers need to sell . The graph above, courtesy of Unchained Capital , shows the unspent transaction output (UTXO) of Bitcoin over time. The data shows that during moments of price appreciation, long-term Bitcoin hodlers have a tendency to sell. However, during periods of price decline, long-term hodlers buy BTC . The red, yellow, and orange bands represent the amount of BTC being exchanged. The green and blue bands show the amount of BTC that hasn’t moved for up to five years or more. As you can see, the blue band has been consistently increasing and now accounts for close to 25% of the total BTC supply. This means a great deal of hodlers have been increasing their stacks. While there was some sell-off pressure (the yellow and orange bands) during 2019, it seems buyers are now back in control. To conclude, what the above data shows is crucial to understand when price will most likely appreciate. In my opinion, only when we start to see the blue and green bands increasing between 10-20% will a proper bull run begin. When will that happen? Probably between the end of 2020 and start of 2021. Until the halving, I expect long-term hodlers to continue to accumulate as miners sell their coins to keep farms profitable. Safe trades.

As Trump received loans from the subsidiary, DBTCA, totaling over $360 million, Gazprombank sent $511 million in cash to DBTCA to be dispersed however it directed.\n\nIn a statement, Deutsche Bank said that DBTCA’s relationship with Gazprombank was one in which the Russian state bank moved significant amounts of money into DBTCA as part of a “cash management” arrangement: “At no point has DBTCA ever received loans or a capital injection from Gazprombank or any other Russian bank,” a spokesman for Deutsche Bank said.\n\nDBTCA loaned Donald Trump a significant portion of the $2.5 billion total lent to him by Deutsche Bank. The breach report provided by Broeksmit is a inside look into DBTCA’s complete financials around the time DBTCA issued several of its largest loans to Trump. In 2012, DBTCA approved a $125 million loan to purchase the Trump Doral Resort in Florida. Also in 2012, Trump took out an additional loan on his Chicago property, and in 2015, yet another DBTCA loan, this one worth $170 million, allowed Trump to purchase a 60-year lease to the Old Post Office Building in Washington, D.C.\n\n\nThe Site that originally came out with this is currently under cyber attack, so Here is a Link on the [WAYBACK MACHINE](https://web.archive.org/web/20200121223508/https://forensicnews.net/2020/01/21/russian-government-bank-deposited-500-million-into-deutsche-bank-subsidiary-as-it-lent-to-trump/)\n\nFor a More in-depth look I suggest taking a look at the [MOSCOW PROJECT](https://themoscowproject.org/collusion-chapter/chapter-1/) to gain a better idea of what Trump owes Russia.\n\n\n[Jess Coleman breaks it down](https://mobile.twitter.com/jesskcoleman/status/1219776405267009541)\n\n1. According to documents exclusively obtained by \n@forensicnewsnet\n, a Deutsche Bank subsidiary, DBTCA, owed $500M+ to Gazprombank, one of the largest banks in Russia, as of October 2013.\n\n2. Around that same time, DBTCA made some of its most highly scrutinized loans to Donald Trump. These include:\n\n - a $25M loan to develop Trump Doral Resort in 2012\n - a loan to develop a Chicago property in 2012\n - a $170M loan to to lease to the Old Post Office building in 2015\n\n3. The $500M owed to Gazprombank is DBTCA\'s greatest single liability to a foreign-owed entity. Overall, DBTCA owed more to Russian-controlled entities than the next three countries combined.\n\n4. This is not DBTCA\'s only brush-up with Russian entities. As the \nWall Street journal reported, DBTCA made a large loan to VTB that it tried to shed in 2016.\n\n5. In addition, forensic news recently reported that a whistleblower told the FBI in 2019 that VTB underwrote loans made by DBTCA.\n\n\n6. According to Deutsche Bank, the major liabilities to Gazprombank are part of a "cash management" relationship, whereby individuals and entities use DBTCA to convert rubles into US dollars. The money is then directed pursuant to Gazprombank\'s wishes.\n\n\n7. Deutsche Bank has had its issues with financial crimes. In 2017, the bank was fined over $600M by the New York Fed for failing to prevent a Russian money laundering scheme.\n\n8. That scheme involved a process called "mirror trading," whereby Russian entities used DBTCA to secretly convert cash into U.S. currency. A more detailed explanation is [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0j_zd6RzuQ&app=desktop):\n\n9. Donald Trump continues to fight a subpoena from the House of Representatives to obtain his financial records from Deutsche Bank. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on that subpoena this summer. \n@robertjdenault and I broke down that case here:\n\n10. When Robert Mueller was reportedly seeking Trump\'s financial records at Deutsche Bank, Trump "exploded," shouting, "This is bulls---!" We still don\'t know why.\n\n11. When forensic news first reported on Deutsche Bank\'s ties to Russia, our site was hit with a sophisticated cyber attack and our PayPal account was blocked. We are now facing a similar attack today.\n\n12. While Trump\'s relationship with Deutsche Bank (and DB\'s relationship with Russia) remains murky, one thing is clear: Trump\'s financial well-being is intimately tied to Russia. That, at the very least, is a major counter-intelligence issue. Congress cannot stop investigating.', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/comments/es3uku/russian_government_bank_deposited_500_million/', 'es3uku', [['u/NeverLookBothWays', 211, '2020-01-22 01:59', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/comments/es3uku/russian_government_bank_deposited_500_million/ff7ow0r/', ">The Site that originally came out with this is currently under cyber attack\n\nGreat way to weed out what's really bothering em.", 'es3uku'], ['u/ScientistSeven', 34, '2020-01-22 02:07', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/comments/es3uku/russian_government_bank_deposited_500_million/ff7pkq0/', "I mean, there's not been much in Trump's way", 'es3uku'], ['u/splingles', 74, '2020-01-22 02:55', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/comments/es3uku/russian_government_bank_deposited_500_million/ff7toxv/', 'I hate to ask, but...

Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those. Instead, we want to cast our gaze back over the preceding 12 months and recap several fascinating events and trends that occurred. Whether you missed them the first time around or need reminding about their newsworthiness, you’ll want to read on. 1) The Crypto Credit Bubble Back in October, a group of former Wall Street traders cast a pall on the success of crypto lending companies by predicting that the $5 billion crypto loan bubble wasset to burst. Concerns centered around a lack of regulation, cheap credit and blind faith in the market’s strength. The growth of decentralized finance (DeFi), with its emphasis on open-source projects and accessible finance for all, undoubtedly ties in to this fear, not least since DeFi hasgrown by over 300%in the past year. But while greed was largely responsible for the financial crash of 2008 (as well as the ICO slowdown), there are greed-free initiatives flourishing in this space.Credis just one example. The decentralized global lending platform, which is affiliated with the Universal Protocol Alliance and headed by ex-PayPal Holdings Inc(NASDAQ:PYPL) exec Dan Schatt, prides itself on its comprehensive regulatory and compliance framework. Last summer, Cred partnered withBitcoin.comto give customers the opportunity to earn interest on their digital assets. 2) Libra In Limbo Facebook Inc’s (NASDAQ:FB) much touted Libra stablecoin was formally announced in June, but was soon enveloped in a tsunami of regulatory red tape, leading to aCongressional moratoriumand a mass exodus of companies from the Libra Association – not least PayPal,Visa Inc(NYSE:V),eBay Inc(NASDAQ:EBAY) and Stripe. What happens next is anyone’s guess. In the meantime, alternatives have come to light. The aforementioned UPA’sUniversal Dollarand Saga’s SGA token, which launched in December, are among them. The latter is a stablecoin initially backed by a basket of national currencies (mimicking the IMF’s SDR basket), and given that Saga’s advisory board includes luminaries like Professor Jacob A. Frenkel, PhD, chairman of JPMorgan Chase International, it’s definitely one to watch. 3) One-Year Anniversary For RSK Infrastructure Solutions (RIF) December marked the one-year anniversary of RSK Infrastructure Framework Open Standard (RIF OS), based on the first open-source smart contract network secured by the Bitcoin network. This stack of decentralized finance components enables developers to import, create and deploy their EVM based dApps, and pulled off a major coup in 2019 by acquiring leading Hispanic social network Taringa. RSK’s SmartBitcoin is pegged 1:1 with BTC, and there’s also a BTC-collateralized stablecoin under the company banner, with libraries, a decentralized exchange, lending protocols and insurance rounding out the stack. With the permissionless of open finance and the security of Bitcoin’s proof-of-work, RSK is building a robust defi ecosystem with a myriad of real world applications. 4) Tron Joins Forces With Samsung Tron solidified its status as a top-15 crypto asset – as well as one of the most liquid by volume on many global exchanges – in the past 12 months. It also struck a landmark deal with Samsung, with the tech giant integrating Tron’s TRX cryptocurrency with its Blockchain Keystore. What’s more, the link-up allows users of newer Samsung handsets to use TRX to purchase decentralized applications built on the Tron network. With blockchain-based content sharing platform DLive having commenced migration to the TRON blockchain at the tailend of 2019, the next 12 months are shaping up to be interesting for Justin Sun’s company. Are you really surprised? 5) Crypto Platform Sponsors Premier League Team Newcastle United’s decision to partner with crypto trading platform StormGain, which saw the company logo appearing on the sleeves of all 2019/20 shirts, reflected a recent trend: the season before, Wolves had sealed the first ever sports sponsorship deal involving a crypto platform, namely CoinDeal. In any case, partnering with the Magpies was quite a coup for StormGain, who only launched last summer. The margin trading platform lets crypto newcomers buy or trade the most popular and capitalized coins, with up to 150x leverage and trades denominated in tether (USDT). Perhaps other major sports outfits will grab a piece of the Premier League glitz before the 2020/21 season gets underway. 6) Litecoin Halves With the crypto world gearing up for Bitcoin’s halving in May 2020, Litecoin’s quadrennial halving in August attracted a great deal of interest. The second halving event in Litecoin’s history followed an anticipatory rally, wherein LTC hit a June high $146 before backsliding to sub-$40 levels. Despite the fire sale, LTC ended the year with a 38% gain. 7) Interoperability Everywhere Interoperability’ was one of the buzzwords of 2019, as the developers of crypto protocols sought to find ways to make other crypto protocols talk to them. Cross-chain swaps, sidechains, atomic swaps and all manner of other blockchain voodoo was deployed in a bid to de-silo crypto networks and usher in a new era of connectivity. Some of the finest work was undertaken by EOS scaling solution LiquidApps, which has done more to unite blockchains than perhaps anyone operating in the space. In 2019, its DAPP Network eased the strain on the EOS main chain and drove down resource costs for dApp developers. In the process, it showed that there’s more than one way to scale a blockchain. 8) Esports Goes Crypto The esports and crypto audiences are closely aligned and it was only a matter of time until their houses were united. The $1 billion esports market is showing no signs of slowing down, and projects like Kronoverse are betting on it. The blockchain company is placing esports games on-chain, so that players and fans have an auditable record of all results, coupled with the ability to trade in-game items using NFTs. Provably fair casino gaming, delivered with the aid of blockchain, has already begun to gain traction on the web. If Kronoverse has its way, provably fair esports will soon follow suit. The world of Bitcoin is never dull, and 2020 is sure to reinforce that truism. With bitcoin derivatives volumes growing, the DeFi market expanding, and crypto-friendly banks proliferating, buckle up for another thrilling year in the cryptosphere.

Others have said this before, but if you don\'t like what 51% hash power is doing, it\'s an attack. If you do, it\'s an upgrade. 51% of hash power has always been able to do things like this. This is not new. 51% of the mining power could always censor any transaction. But they won\'t, because game theory and their economic incentives directs them not to do this. It\'s the same thing here. \n\nThis is basically just a more free market and anarchic way of funding development than what DASH has, where it\'s built into the rewards system. It\'s essentially miners donating their rewards to make the ecosystem and coin better, except doing it in a game theoretic fair way that makes sure everyone contributes. And if people in these mining pools don\'t like it, they can stop offering their hash power, and offer it to someone that opposes it. If there\'s backlash from the community like that, most likely this proposal won\'t go through. But I hope it does, and I expect it will, because miners donating millions to BCH is not a good thing. It\'s a very very good thing.\n\nThis makes far more sense than leaving development completely unfunded, and this is more decentralized than both DASH and BTC. This is anarchy in action - development has been agreed to by mining actors rather than the top holders (or those who\'m they\'ve hired, i.e. DASH, which I like btw) or outside groups like Blockstream (BTC). Instead, this is the part of our community most invested in seeing Bitcoin Cash succeed. The miners, who have invested millions into mining equipment, probably hold millions in BCH, and are donating millions to see BCH succeed, are not nefarious actors. They\'re are strongest supporters and investors, and have been screwed over by Blockstream when the Segwit 2X agreement was broken. They need one of the SHA-256 coins to succeed and we all know if won\'t be Bitcoin BTC. My guess is a much larger portion of the mining power supports BCH than currently mines it - they\'re just held captive by the current prices of the two currencies.\n\nComplaining about there being only 4 mining companies that agreed to this, and that therefore this is centralized uses the same logic as those who are against ASIC\'s and support shitcoins like Vertcoin because "muh decentralization." Economics dictates that there are millions of different restaurants, but not nearly as many car companies, nor nearly as many large supply stores like Walmart, Target, or Costco. Decentralization isn\'t an end in and of itself, but only a good in so far as it serves Bitcoin. If there were 1 million phone companies instead of like 4 or 5, then phones would suck. In fact, we probably wouldn\'t even have them. But competition makes those companies work for the consumer. Likewise, here the miners are steered by economic incentives to support the BCH network. It\'s only them that will lose if they do not.\n\nSo in short, nothing has changed. So what\'s all the fuss about when we\'re about to see an explosion of Bitcoin Cash development?

The numbers are staggering. Global stocks have piled on more than $10 trillion, bonds have been on fire, oil has surged almost 25%, former crisis spots Greece and Ukraine have top-performed, and even gold has sparkled. Wall Street <.SPX> and MSCI's near 50-country world index <.MIWD00000PUS> have both stormed to record highs after 30% and 24% leaps. Europe, Japan, China and Brazil are all up at least 20% in dollar terms too. Not exactly shoddy. A mirror image of 2018, when almost everything fell? Perhaps. But there have been a couple of important drivers. One was China showing it was serious about stimulus for its $14 trillion economy. The other was the screeching change of direction by the world's top central banks, led by the Federal Reserve, which cut U.S. interest rates for the first time since the financial crisis more than a decade earlier. "Whereas a year ago the Fed was raising rates and earnings were rolling over, this year you have felt the Fed has been on your side," said James Clunie, who manages asset firm Jupiter's Absolute Return Fund. "They are willing to do QE4 at a stock market (record) high, which is extraordinary," he added, referring to Fed efforts to bring down a spike in money market rates that some suggest could presage a fourth round of quantitative easing asset purchases. Graphic: Global markets in 2019 - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/13/103/103/Pasted%20Image.jpg That Fed shift and the worldwide blizzard of rate cuts that have come since have fired bond markets up like a rocket. U.S. Treasuries, the world's benchmark government IOU, have made a whopping 9.4 percent after yields plunged as much as 120 basis points. That followed a near 40 basis point fall the last quarter of 2018, after five quarters in which they had consistently risen. German Bunds -- Europe's safest asset -- have had their best year in five years, making roughly 5.5% in euro terms as the European Central Bank has reversed course too. The yield on 10-year debt dropped below zero percent for the first time since 2016 in March and dived as deep as -0.74% in September. Graphic: U.S. Treasuries vs German Bunds - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/13/102/102/Pasted%20Image.jpg In commodities, oil has raced up almost 25% following its best first quarter since 2009. That, plus key dividend rule changes, has made Russia's stock market the best in the world with a 40% rise and also made the rouble a top three currency. Metals have had a more mixed time. Copper is only 4% higher after buckling badly when trade tensions flared in the middle of the year, and aluminum is down 2%. But palladium, used in car and truck catalytic converters, has boomed 55%, while gold has had its best year since 2010 with a 15% jump. A statistic likely to make most jaws drop is that Greek banks -- remember all that euro debt crisis and capital controls stuff a few years back? -- have been some of the world's best-performing stocks this year. The country's biggest lender Piraeus Bank <BOPr.AT> is up 250%, as is smaller Attica Bank <BOAr.AT>, helping make Athens Europe's strongest bourse this year. But even those gains look skimpy in comparison to Californian video streaming darling Roko <ROKU.O>, whose shares have risen 440% this year. FANGTASTIC Tech has remained top more broadly. Apple <AAPL.O> may just have lost its crown as world's most valuable firm to Saudi Aramco but it can console itself with its 77% leap this year. Facebook <FB.O> has surged 57%, Microsoft <MSFT.O> 53%, Google <GOOGL.O> 30%, Netflix <NFLX.O> 24% and Amazon <AMZN.O> 19 percent. China's tech sector <.CSIINT> is right in mix too with a 64% rally and online behemoth Alibaba <BABA.K> up 53%. Cryptoassets have been typically wild. Bitcoin was up over up 260% in June but it has been hauled back to around 85%. Riskier high-yield debt, corporate bonds and local currency emerging market bonds and have all brought in between 11%-14% while Ukraine's dollar bonds and Greece's euro bonds have piled on over 30%. "It is just a great year for the asset class," said Pictet emerging market debt portfolio manager Guido Chamorro. "It has been a relentless rally across the board over the last couple of months and it is possible that it continues into next year."

In contrast, the Fed's pirouette and easing of trade tensions means the dollar index <.DXY> is about to experience its worst quarter in 1-1/2 years. It is still clinging to a 1.5% gain for the year, though, meaning it will be the euro's <EUR=> fifth red year in six. As usual the big swings have been in emerging markets. Argentina's peso <ARS=> and Turkey's lira <TRY=>, 2018's punchbags, have taken another beating. Argentina's woes have worsened such that it is restructuring its debt again while Turkey's worries have not really gone away. At the other end of the spectrum, a new president and a new reform agenda have seen Ukraine's hryvnia <UAH=> rocket 19%. Russia's rouble is up 11% and Egypt's pound <EGP=> is sandwiched in between with a 11.7% gain.

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: ['Max Boonen is the founder and CEO of crypto trading firm B2C2 . This post is the third in a series of three that looks at the structure of crypto markets. Opinions expressed within are his own and do not reflect those of CoinDesk. In the two previous articles , I summarized the evolution of speed in modern finance and the balancing act between good and bad latency reductions. Let us now examine the venues where trading takes place and how they fare in this world of increasing speeds. To trade financial assets, a variety of market designs are possible: those are called market microstructures. We will explain three major ones found in crypto today, why they exist and how one should evaluate them. Related: Continued Losses See Bitcoin Erase 40% of Recent Price Rally The CLOB This is the classic exchange, represented in popular culture by the ubiquitous facade of the NYSE. What exchanges provide is known as a central limit order book (“CLOB”). It is central because all participants send orders to it. It is “limit” because the price specified by an order indicates the limit (worst) price at which the trader is willing to transact. Any new order either trades against a pre-existing, opposite order or remains in the order book at its limit price. Participants can therefore both execute instantly against resting orders (to “take,” to be “aggressive”) or wait for execution by others (to “make,” to be “passive”). By and large, those passive orders are placed by professional market makers. Importantly, trading in a CLOB is entirely anonymous – or so one hopes – pre-trade and normally post-trade, too: the exchange sits in the middle of all trades. Traders pay commissions, often with volume discounts. The single-dealer platform On a single-dealer platform, or SDP, clients trade with one liquidity provider (conventionally, either a bank or a so-called non-bank liquidity provider such as B2C2 ) on a “name disclosed” basis, since the dealer runs the proprietary platform and knows who is trading. Clients “take” and the dealer “makes” as a principal, meaning that when a client buys, the dealer sells and vice versa. This is not to be confused with an agency model where the middleman transmits client orders to an actual dealer or venue. In the dealer model, there is no commission but the client faces a variable bid-offer spread to compensate the market maker for the financial risk it is taking. B2C2’s over-the-counter (OTC) platform was the first single-dealer platform in crypto, having operated since 2016. Unlike an exchange, not all participants see the same price; in fact, there may be as many unique price feeds as counterparties, for reasons that go way beyond simply rewarding big customers with favorable terms. Story continues Related: Bitcoin Faces Move to $8,200 After Dropping Out of Trading Range The aggregators Instead of receiving one single feed, clients receive an aggregation of different prices and can pick the best one. While diverse in their mechanics, aggregators put market makers on one side and price takers on the other. A crypto example is CoinRoutes . Takers are normally anonymous before the trade with disclosure of the counterparty to the liquidity provider after the trade. Aggregators are not exchanges! First, the settlement relationship is often (but not always) bilateral, meaning the takers must be onboarded by each liquidity provider they want to interact with, and bilateral credit limits have to be respected. Second, and crucially, the makers typically cannot take. Aggregators, like exchanges, charge a commission. Adverse selection: a tension within all markets Where should one trade? The answer depends on the interaction between your trades and the liquidity provider(s) on the other side. Imagine you want to bet on the winner of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. You’ve done your research and feel quite confident. One person in particular is keen to take the other side of your bet: the famous statistician Nate Silver . Do you still want to bet? While an election represents the sum of each person’s vote, few can predict its outcome; the same goes in financial markets. Most participants do not know where the market is going; those who do are called informed traders. When it comes to the U.S. political landscape, Nate Silver is informed because he might know something you don’t and his willingness to bet against you is an indication of that. This is adverse selection. Note that being informed nowadays means being fast. It does not actually refer to knowing where the price will be a month, a day or even an hour from now. As renowned economist Andrew Haldane put it : “Adverse selection risk today has taken on a different shape. In a high-speed, co-located world, being informed means seeing and acting on market prices sooner than competitors. Today, it pays to be faster than the average bear, not smarter. To be uninformed is to be slow.” Recall my previous post on the latency arms race. In the high-frequency context where market-making takes place, the most brilliant quantitative fund might be considered uninformed as long as it is not operating in the high-frequency spectrum. Market makers have to balance the losses incurred against informed traders with the spread they earn from everyone else. Diff’rent strokes: What might be right for you might not be right for some Exchanges are the venues with the highest adverse selection because everyone can take indiscriminately and anonymously. Aggregators come in second since they are partly anonymous but the makers cannot take. As explained in Part 1, market makers are also high-speed informed traders, thus a venue lowers its average toxicity by preventing the makers from taking. Lastly, bilateral relationships have the least adverse selection since the dealer knows exactly how informed any individual client is. In essence, the spectrum represents a trade-off for the investor between receiving better prices at the cost of disclosing more information or being turned down altogether. As a result of the tension above, markets naturally iterate through the following cycle: 1) informed traders are identified by liquidity providers as less profitable trading relationships 2) liquidity providers thus show more conservative prices to more informed traders, and more competitive pricing to everyone else 3) the most informed traders have no choice but to switch to more anonymous venues: aggregators first, then exchanges 4) adverse selection becomes exacerbated on exchange due to the arrival of those new informed traders, thus the market impact (broadly defined) of trading increases, incentivizing uninformed traders to leave exchanges in favor of direct relationships with market makers where they receive comparatively better pricing 5) rinse and repeat until such time as there is strong self-selection of traders: on one side, high-speed, informed trading with high market impact on exchanges; on the other, less expensive liquidity in the OTC market. This is what has happened in the foreign exchange market over the past 10 years. EBS and Reuters, the primary CLOBs, lost market share to single-dealer platforms as the arrival of high-frequency trading firms in the FX market pushed banks to retrench in favor of direct OTC relationships. Per the BIS , “On the one hand, liquidity provision has become more concentrated among the largest banks, which reap the benefits of a large electronic network of client relationships to internalize a large part of their customer flows. Many other banks, however, have found it hard to compete and have resorted to an agency model of market-making or have exited the business altogether.” The same evolution marked crypto in 2019. Exchange market-making has become extremely competitive after the entry of big high-frequency trading firms in early 2018 while the technological cost of running a single-dealer platform – as opposed to the voice trading of yore – forced crypto trading firms to adapt . We now witness a separation between a handful of principal dealers like B2C2, and firms focused on OTC redistribution (the agency model). Is aggregation next? A separate dynamic is at work with aggregation, one that has yet to play out in crypto. At first glance, it is always better to have more liquidity providers than fewer. But that’s wrong, because it takes two to tango. A measure of it is good, but too much and adverse selection again rears its ugly head. The reason: winner’s curse. In an exclusive relationship, the liquidity provider executes all the client’s trades, good and bad. With a dozen aggregated liquidity providers, having shown the best price often means that it was too good a price, irrespective of how informed the client actually is. As a consequence, liquidity providers worsen pricing parameters for highly (and naively) aggregated flow. Research by Deutsche Bank explains how aggregation can worsen execution for uninformed (!) traders, with higher rejections and wider spreads. Crypto might not go through a round of higher-than-warranted aggregation before the pendulum swings back as it did in the FX market. First, there are few electronic liquidity providers in crypto and fewer still that are good enough to deal with aggregation. Second, maintaining numerous separate relationships is operationally costly, especially with exchanges in an industry where the mantra is “not your keys, not your coins.” To paraphrase Matt Levine, no need to painfully re-learn the lessons of venue selection in conventional markets! Conclusion: The right tools for the right task I predict 2020 will be a year where, unsatisfied with exchange pricing (in terms of fees and market impact), large traders rethink their relationships with exchanges. In doing so, looking at fees and spreads is not sufficient. Assessing how one’s activity pushes the market against oneself must be part of the toolbox, too, and more.

At least five local exchanges have halted operations or announced they will no longer serve domestic users this month, after regulators issued a series of warnings and notices as part of a cleanup of digital currency trading. China’s stepping up scrutiny of its massive cryptocurrency industry just weeks after President Xi Jinping ignited a market frenzy by declaring Beijing’s support for blockchain technology. Financial watchdogs including the Chinese central bank have in past weeks ordered crypto firms to shutter and warned investors to be wary of digital currencies, seeking to rein in a market prone to excesses. Weibo, a Chinese Twitter-like service, suspended accounts operated by major exchange Binance Holdings Ltd. and blockchain platform Tron. Taken together, the latest wave of shutdowns and restrictions represent the biggest cleanup of the sector since an initial Chinese clampdown in September 2017. Although exchanges that allow users to buy Bitcoin and Ether with fiat money were banned, trading had remained rampant in China through over-the-counter platforms or services that deal with crypto assets only. Now, even those alternatives have succumbed to regulators, spooking investors. Bitcoin this week sank to its lowest level in six months at the end of its longest losing streak since at least 2010. The largest crypto-currency recovered with a 6% rebound on Wednesday but is still poised to post its worst month since November last year. Twenty of the top 50 crypto exchanges are based in the Asia-Pacific region and accounted for about 40% of Bitcoin transactions in the first half of the year, according to data from Chainalysis. Within the region, the most exchanges are in China, the research firm found. Aaron Hu, a 26-year-old computer engineer in the central Chinese city of Changsha , said he moved all the crypto he holds -- several million yuan’s worth -- from exchanges like Binance and OKEx to his own wallet address. “The first thing I thought of is how to secure my assets,” he said.

Rival Biss said this month it’s halted operations while executives cooperate with a government probe. Btuex said on Monday it will shut in response to Chinese government orders, reopening in future to serve only overseas users. And Idax said on Sunday it will also no longer serve users in China but focus on users abroad, citing policy reasons. “It appears that, like everything else within their borders, China feels it needs to have tighter controls on the crypto market including exchanges, miners and asset issuers,” said Katie Talati, head of research at Arca, a Los Angeles-based asset manager that invests in cryptocurrencies. “I do believe, however, they are moving in a similar direction as Japan and other jurisdictions that have tight and clear regulations for crypto businesses.” For now, uncertainty over how deep the apparent crackdown will run has spurred traders to transfer their money to safer places. One of crypto’s largest wallet apps, ImToken, said Tether transactions among its nearly 10 million users surged to $66 million on Nov. 22, the day China’s central bank issued its latest warning against crypto trading. That’s more than double the app’s average daily Tether transaction in October, the IDG-backed startup told Bloomberg News. Tether, a so-called stable coin pegged to U.S. dollars, is a popular vehicle for investors to move their money into and out of crypto coins. “The current situation and environment for blockchain in China is still very positive,” Tron founder and crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun said. “In the short term, it may not get as much progress as we’d expect.” Here’s a timeline of the recent developments from China that’s been blamed for the plunge: On Nov. 13, Binance’s Weibo account was suspended.On Nov. 14, the Chinese central bank’s Shanghai office and the city’s financial regulator issued a notice asking local government agencies to work with crypto-related companies under their supervision to exit such businesses immediately. On the same day, Beijing’s financial regulator published a statement warning against illegal exchange operations.On Nov. 15, Tron’s Weibo account was frozen.On Nov. 21, Shenzhen financial regulator said in a statement it’s looking into allegedly illegal crypto operations, organizing check-ups and gathering evidence.On Nov. 21, crypto publication the Block reported Binance’s Shanghai office was shut in a police raid. Binance disputed the report, or that it has fixed offices in China.On Nov. 22, the Chinese central bank’s Shanghai branch said in a statement that companies that have conducted publicity campaigns, or have offered other services to offshore crypto exchanges, have been ordered to take immediate corrective actions or exit the business.

For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the majors.

On Monday, 24-hour trading volumes had hit $122bn levels before falling back to sub-$80bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $72.28bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.19% to $8,369.7. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin slide to an early morning low $8,301.0 before striking a high $8,373.1. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the crypto majors. EOS led the way, rising by 1.29%, while Monero’s XMR (-0.07%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.53%) saw early red. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $8,373.1 to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,440.60. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $8,400 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound on the day, Bitcoin would likely fall short of $8,500 levels on the day. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $8,527.5 would likely cap any upside. Failure to move back through the morning high $8,373.1 could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall back through to sub-$8,360 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,273.4 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, the 23.6% FIB of $8,200 should limit any downside on the day.

Elisabeth Kashner is director of ETF research and analytics for FactSet.] The top ETF story of 2019 isn\x92t nontransparent active, ESG or marijuana. It\x92s not commission-free trading or the Schwab-TD tie-up. It\x92s the relentless demand for super-low-cost ETFs. Investor appetite for ever-cheaper ETFs is driving flows and shaping asset growth. Investors are demanding low-cost funds across every strategy group in equity, fixed income and even commodities. That includes actively managed ETFs, ESG and smart beta. Asset managers are adapting, but are they moving fast enough? Those currently queuing to enter the ETF business should pay close attention to ETF pricing, especially in ESG and active management. Fee Cuts Fee compression saves investors money but creates challenges for fund issuers. Compression came by way of fee cuts and via asset transfer to lower-cost products. 2019 fee cuts returned $95 million to investors over the course of the year. Fee cuts outnumbered hikes by a factor of seven. ETF issuers dropped expenses for funds containing 31.5% of assets over the course of 2019. Fee hikes were scarce, covering just 4.1% of ETF assets. New investors and those who sold expensive ETFs in favor of cheaper alternatives benefited too, as their overall costs dropped. A look at the top ETFs by net flows tells the story. Six of the top 10 ETFs saw a fee drop this past year.

It's been another wild and wacky ride of a year in the tech world: breakthroughs and disgraces, triumphs and catastrophes, cryptocurrencies and starships, the ongoing rise of utopian clean energy and dystopian cyberpunk societies and, most of all, the ongoing weirding of the whole wide world. In other words, it was another perfect year for The Jons, the annual award that celebrates dubious tech-related achievements, named, in an awe-inspiring fit of humility, after myself. We've got quite a lineup for you this year, folks. So lets get to it! With very little further ado, I give you: the fifth annual Jon Awards for Dubious Technical Achievement! ( The Jons 2015 ) ( The Jons 2016 ) ( The Jons 2017 ) ( The Jons 2018 ) THE CATLIKE FINANCIAL REFLEXES AWARD FOR LANDING ON YOUR FEET AFTER UNMITIGATED DISASTER To Adam Neumann, who presided over the spectacular rise and even more spectacular fall from grace of WeWork, which proudly launched its proposed IPO this year and promptly saw most of its valuation (and its cash) disintegrate in a sea of eyebrow-raising stories about delusional irresponsibility and the harsh realities of actual business. However, give Neumann credit: stories may have made him sound like a pot-smoking surfer dude who lived in a hallucinatory fantasyland, but -- unlike his employees, whose dreams of IPO wealth were suddenly and completely shattered -- he managed to walk away from the business he drove nearly into the ground with a reported $1.7 billion windfall . THE EVERYBODY'S BEST FRIEND AWARD FOR INSPIRING NOSEBLEED VALUATIONS AND ASPIRATIONAL POSTERS EVERYWHERE To Masayoshi Son, whose widely announced dreams of a $108 billion Vision Fund II turned into the relative nightmare of something " far smaller " -- but still has his surreal, dreamlike slide decks to fall back on. After all, " SoftBank works to comfort people in their sorrow ." THE WE MAY AS WELL JUST GIVE HIM A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR ELON DOING HIS ELON THING To -- obviously -- Elon Musk, who actually had a really good year: Tesla stock got " so high " it brushed the price at which he previously announced he would take it private (he didn't); SpaceX launched Starlink, a " very big deal "; and he was acquitted of defamation for calling a complete stranger a pedophile on Twitter. OK, so he also announced Starship should reach orbit by this coming March , and smashed the Cybertruck's allegedly unbreakable windows onstage at its unveiling , but still, a good year! See you in 2020, Elon. Story continues THE IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T CONVINCE, TELL AN EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS TALE AWARD FOR RISIBLE SATOSHI NAKAMOTO CLAIMS To Craig Wright, who has long claimed in the face of mocking industrywide disbelief to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and especially for his claims that, now work with me here, the keys to 1 million of Satoshi's bitcoin were put in a "Tulip Trust" by a long-deceased collaborator and will be delivered to him by a "bonded courier" on January 1, 2020, i.e. a few days from now. The judge he told this to was, unsurprisingly, spectacularly unconvinced , saying Dr. Wrights demeanor did not impress me as someone who was telling the truth," and also reproached him for his "willful and bad faith pattern of obstructive behavior." You don't say. THE DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, BUT ONLY IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY DEAD AWARD FOR LEAVING A TRAIL OF CRYPTOCURRENCY CHAOS IN ONE'S WAKE To my fellow Canadian Gerald William Cotten, the founder of QuadrigaCX, who apparently stole and/or lost essentially all of his customers' money, spending much of it on "luxury goods and real estate," before his death in Mumbai last year. "But Jon," you say, "how does this quality for a 2019 Jon Award?" Because the many thousands who lost money are now demanding an exhumation to determine that the body in Cotten's grave is, in fact, Cotten. As for the surviving founder, he's "a reported ex-con who served 18 months in a federal U.S. prison for identity theft, bank fraud and credit card fraud." Is this the end of this crazy story ? ...Well, probably yes . But in the world of cryptocurrencies, which reliably gives us the most jawdropping Jons, who can say for sure? THE I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE BABY AND IT'S PRETTY CRAZY AWARD FOR EPITOMIZING OUR CYBERPUNK PRESENT To Lil Nas X, a previously unknown queer black American teenager who made a country-trap song with a beat he purchased for $30 from a Dutch producer, which sampled an obscure Nine Inch Nails deep cut; recorded it in less than an hour for $20 ; crafted a hundred memes to publicize it on a new Chinese-owned video-snippet social network until it went viral courtesy of a Yeehaw Challenge meme; then saw it hit first country and then crossover success, and become the longest-reigning Billboard No. 1 single of all time . Does it even get more postmodern cyberpunk than that? Lil Nas X, this is your world (well, and Billie Eilish's) -- we just live in it. THE POWER TO DRIVE BABY BOOMERS COMPLETELY MAD AWARD FOR BEING SENSIBLY UPSET ABOUT THINGS To Greta Thunberg, another teenager, who is an angry advocate of doing something about climate change and for some reason frequently drives a whole lot of apparently lucid people, as well as the president of the United States, completely insane , prompting them to level ludicrous and deeply weird attacks at a sixteen-year-old autistic girl. It is truly mystifying, and yet revelatory. Maybe they're just upset that she's so good at Twitter ? THE SOMEONE MUST BE TO BLAME, THIS IS SOMEONE, THEY MUST BE TO BLAME AWARD FOR LASHING OUT IN THE WRONG DIRECTIONS To the mass media, for the techlash: the backlash against tech in which they blame the tech industry not only for its actual sins and problems, which are admittedly not hard to find, but also for essentially everything that is wrong with the world's political and financial systems. Politics is somehow the fault of Facebook, rather than venal politicians and their ability to manipulate, er, the mass media like a Stradivarius . Inequality is somehow the fault of the tech industry, rather than City / Wall Street parasitism, regulatory capture and, again, the politicians who actually write the laws which enact inequality. Again, the tech industry has real problems -- but the fact that it has devoured the advertising and classifieds income that long propped up the media seems to have caused otherwise sober and thoughtful journalists to instinctively knee-jerk blame it for every ill, while letting their actual architects off lightly. Sadly I fear this one is going to be a perennial. THE WHO NEEDS HUMAN FACES OR WORDS AWARD FOR SIMULATING THE DEEP INSIGHTS OF INTERNET DISCOURSE To StyleGAN 2 and GPT-2, neural networks from Nvidia and OpenAI respectively, which generate fully convincing fake human faces, and close-enough-for-the-internet convincing fake human comment sections, respectively. I feel certain that somewhere out there on the internet, bots with StyleGAN avatars and GPT-2-sourced texts are already waging war against one another in befuddling comment sections: battles which have no end, no point and no room for any actual humanity. The more things change, eh? THE POP GOES THE IPO AWARD FOR MAKING LOCKUP PERIODS MEANINGFUL AGAIN To Slack , Lyft and Uber , all of whom went public this year and, despite being extremely high-profile tech companies, promptly saw their stock prices crater and stay there, while their most recent employees presumably saw their lockup period come and go while remaining resolutely underwater. All this while big, boring tech companies like Google and Microsoft saw their stock climb to new highs nearly every week. Maybe joining a rocket ship isn't always such a great idea after all... THE WHAT'S A FEW BILLION DOLLARS BETWEEN FRIENDS AWARD FOR JAM YESTERDAY, JAM TOMORROW BUT NEVER JAM TODAY To Ron Abovitz of Magic Leap, whose technology demos over the last decade have been, by all accounts, truly breathtaking and mind-boggling, but whose actual shipped technology, despite 10 years and nearly $3 billion in funding, has been, by all accounts, deeply disappointing. Now Magic Leap is hemorrhaging high-profile board members , signing over patents as collatoral to JP Morgan Chase while desperately trying to raise funding and it next headset is reportedly still years away from launch . But look, those demos were amazing . THE A SINGLE SACRIFICIAL LAMB FRANKLY ISN'T ENOUGH AWARD FOR A DEEP AND SYSTEMIC CATASTROPHE To Boeing and its 737 MAX debacle, in which, among numerous other stunning derelictions of fundamental engineering duties, crucial safety features were sold as profitable optional extras -- and yet it took not one but two crashes, killing hundreds, for them to admit any problems. Their CEO has resigned, but the company's failures are clearly deep and systemic rather than individual; their once famously engineer-driven corporate culture is clearly no more. Their example of the decline of American capitalism in general is almost a little too on-the-nose, but then, that's 2019 for you. Congratulations, of a sort, to all the winners of The Jons! All recipients shall receive a bobblehead of myself made up as a Blue Man, as per the image on this post, which will doubtless become coveted and increasingly valuable collectibles. (And needless to say, sometime next year they will become redeemable for JonCoin.) And, of course, all winners shall be remembered by posterity forevermore. 1 Bobbleheads shall only be distributed if and when available and convenient. The eventual existence of said bobbleheads is not guaranteed or indeed even particularly likely. Not valid on days named after Norse or Roman gods.

In spite of the pullback, Bitcoin held above the second major resistance level, supporting a move back through to $8,600 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, supported by last week’s pullback. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the majors. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+12.44%), Litecoin (+5.51%), and Ripple’s XPR (+5.51%) led the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.80%), EOS (+4.43%), Ethereum (+4.59), Stellar’s Lumen (+4.18%), and Tron’s TRX (+4.32%) also saw sold gains. Binance Coin (+3.31%), Cardano’s ADA (+3.64%), and Monero’s XMR (+3.58%) trailed the pack. It was a mixed week for the majors, however, following Sunday’s gains. Binance Coin (+0.46%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.69%), Cardano’s ADA (+6.31%), EOS (+1.04%), Ethereum (+0.36%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.01%) ended the week in the green. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, however. Bitcoin Cash SV (-2.94%), Monero’s XMR (-2.81%), Litecoin (-2.54%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-2.84%) led the way down. Ripple’s XRP saw a more modest 1.64% loss for the week. Through the week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $234.19 to a Wednesday high $243.39bn. The 2 nd half of the week sell-off saw the total market cap fall to a Friday low $226.29bn before Sunday’s rally. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $240.11bn. Story continues Bitcoin’s dominance fell back to 65% levels after a mixed week for the majors that saw Bitcoin in the red. Trading volumes picked up to $83bn levels on Sunday. On Monday, volumes had hit $122bn levels before falling back to sub-$80bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $87.26bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.58% to $8,671.4. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $8,621.5 to a high $8,708.1. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.65%), EOS (+3.47%), and Bitcoin Cash SV (+3.15%) led the way early. Ripple’s XRP bucked the trend, falling by 0.48% at the time of writing. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $8,700 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $8,735.07. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $8,708.1. Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $8,700 would likely limit any upside on the day. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $8,848.63 would likely cap any upside. Failure to move back through $8,700 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $8,621.5 to sub-$8,520 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,404.47 into play. Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$8,500 levels on the day.

It has now risen by more than 11% since November 24, with price currently residing at around $48.39. The next key level for Litecoin is the psychological level of support at $50, which was a bitter point of resistance in March and a key level of support in October. It’s been a difficult year for Litecoin traders, with the world’s sixth-largest cryptocurrency down by more than 55% since the highly anticipated halving and 67% from yearly highs. If price gets rejected at the $50 level, Litecoin can be expected to fall back down to the $39 and $27 levels of support, which coincidentally is where it dropped to this time last year. From a bullish perspective, if Litecoin can spur a rally above $50 this weekend, it will likely test $53 before attempting to break out above the daily 100 exponential moving average at $62. The market cap of Litecoin has lost a staggering $4.5 billion since June’s high of $145. It now stands at $3 billion, which is $1 billion less than both Bitcoin Cash and Bitfinex’s controversial stablecoin Tether. For more news, guides, and cryptocurrency analysis, click here .

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 that time again.\nThe IRS began accepting and processing tax returns for individuals on Monday.\nLast year’s filing season was an adjustment for taxpayers and industry professionals alike as it was the first under a massive overhaul of federal tax law. While this year’s season is expected to be more sedate, there are a few tweaks to be aware of.\nSTANDARD DEDUCTION\nThe standard deduction doubled under the new tax law that took effect in 2018. In turn, the number of taxpayers who took that instead of itemizing on their taxes jumped sharply. An estimated 90% of taxpayers are expected to take the deduction this year.\nWhile the standard deduction usually increases each year for inflation, it’s worth keeping the figure in mind as taxpayers adjust to the new system. Some people may still want to run through the exercise of deciding whether to itemize or not. The decision comes down to whether your deductible expenses are greater than the standard deduction. Tax preparation software or a tax professional can walk you through this with ease.\nSingle individuals now get a standard deduction of $12,200 and married individuals filing jointly qualify for a standard deduction of $24,400. Head of household individuals get a standard deduction of $18,350.\nHEALTH INSURANCE\nNew this year: There is no longer a penalty on federal taxes for not having health insurance, something that was put in place by the Affordable Care Act. However, some states may still penalize you for not having health insurance, warns Lisa Greene-Lewis, a CPA and tax expert at TurboTax.\nDIVORCE\nAnyone who got divorced after 2018 and pays alimony can no longer deduct alimony payments. And ex-spouses who receive alimony are no longer required to claim it as income. Got divorced before 2018? The old rules still apply unless you update your decree to state specifically that the new rules are reflected.\nEXTENDERS\nCongress recently passed a bill that include a few tax extenders, which renew tax provisions that had expired or were going to expire soon. Here are a handful that you may want to take note of:\n— People who are required to pay private mortgage insurance along with their mortgage can once again deduct it. Kathy Pickering, chief tax officer at H&R Block said that this represents a substantial expense for some — in the $2,500 to $4,500 range.\n— Another home-related extender: a $500 lifetime credit for making certain energy efficient improvements to your home, such as the purchase of a high efficiency furnace. While many people have already taken advantage of this in years past, Pickering said newer homeowners may want to consider if they can benefit.\n— People who suffered a foreclosure and had their debt canceled just got some relief.\nThe IRS considers that canceled debt as income and therefore subject to taxes.

The IRS has since updated its agreement with the tax prep industry and the companies are barred from hiding their free products.\nAdditionally, the IRS has tried to help avoid consumer confusion between the IRS Free File system and free or low-cost versions offered by the companies themselves. To make sure you are using the IRS Free File system, go to IRS.gov/freefile to review your choices.\nOther options to file for free remain intact. These include those provided by the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program or Tax Counseling for the Elderly, offered by AARP, as well as the IRS Free File Fillable forms, which are electronic versions of its paper forms.', 'It’s that time again. The IRS began accepting and processing tax returns for individuals on Monday. Last year’s filing season was an adjustment for taxpayers and industry professionals alike as it was the first under a massive overhaul of federal tax law. While this year’s season is expected to be more sedate, there are a few tweaks to be aware of. STANDARD DEDUCTION The standard deduction doubled under the new tax law that took effect in 2018. In turn, the number of taxpayers who took that instead of itemizing on their taxes jumped sharply. An estimated 90% of taxpayers are expected to take the deduction this year. While the standard deduction usually increases each year for inflation, it’s worth keeping the figure in mind as taxpayers adjust to the new system. Some people may still want to run through the exercise of deciding whether to itemize or not. The decision comes down to whether your deductible expenses are greater than the standard deduction. Tax preparation software or a tax professional can walk you through this with ease. Single individuals now get a standard deduction of $12,200 and married individuals filing jointly qualify for a standard deduction of $24,400. Head of household individuals get a standard deduction of $18,350. HEALTH INSURANCE New this year: There is no longer a penalty on federal taxes for not having health insurance, something that was put in place by the Affordable Care Act. However, some states may still penalize you for not having health insurance, warns Lisa Greene-Lewis, a CPA and tax expert at TurboTax. DIVORCE Anyone who got divorced after 2018 and pays alimony can no longer deduct alimony payments. And ex-spouses who receive alimony are no longer required to claim it as income. Got divorced before 2018? The old rules still apply unless you update your decree to state specifically that the new rules are reflected. EXTENDERS Congress recently passed a bill that include a few tax extenders, which renew tax provisions that had expired or were going to expire soon. Here are a handful that you may want to take note of: Story continues — People who are required to pay private mortgage insurance along with their mortgage can once again deduct it. Kathy Pickering, chief tax officer at H&R Block said that this represents a substantial expense for some — in the $2,500 to $4,500 range. — Another home-related extender: a $500 lifetime credit for making certain energy efficient improvements to your home, such as the purchase of a high efficiency furnace. While many people have already taken advantage of this in years past, Pickering said newer homeowners may want to consider if they can benefit. — People who suffered a foreclosure and had their debt canceled just got some relief. The IRS considers that canceled debt as income and therefore subject to taxes. However, there had long been a provision that would waive this if the foreclosure was on a primary residence. Last year, that was not the case. The waiver has now been reinstated and is extended retroactively, so people who had to pay tax on a canceled debt of this sort can file an amendment. Pickering says this is a provision that impacts few people but “has an extraordinary financial impact.” — To claim medical expenses on your taxes, the total must exceed a certain percentage of your adjusted gross income.

Over the last week, the total capitalization of the crypto market grew by 18% to $244bn. What is happening now is indeed often reminiscent of 2017, but the current price levels ofaltcoins are still much lower. The first to declare the beginning of the “altcoin season” faced harsh criticism. However, now it is unlikely that the critics will be so fierce. The more consistent the growth of altcoins, the fewer pessimists will be left. And when there are very few pessimists, the market usually starts to drop. We do not want to spoil the good mood of the altcoin holders, but the current growth is very likely to be speculative. Bitcoin can boast of infrastructure, institutional investors, recognizability. On the other side, recently, the market was ready to bury altcoins as a class. Speculators likely considered the moment is ideal to start buying. Another question is what levels they chose to leave the market. They are probably much lower than market participants can imagine.Crypto-enthusiasts want to believe thatBitcoinand altcoins are still capable of showing new historical highs. We are still dealing with a series of declining highs: the market participants are starting to take profits at ever lower levels. So far, this trend still alive. Another significant difference from the 2017 rally is that market participants now do not have that much time. Now bots are taking profits with clear instructions on the levels, so it is worth watching the technical indicators guided by institutional investors.

Following on from a 0.02% decline on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,364.6. The moves through the weekend left Bitcoin down by 0.04% for the week. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally to an early morning intraday high $7,509.9. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $7,428.77 and the second major resistance level at $7,487.73. While easing back to sub-$7,500 levels, Bitcoin held onto $7,400 levels until a late sell-off. The sell-off saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels to a late intraday low $7,315.8. Steering clear of the first major support level at $7,304.07, Bitcoin found support in the final hour to limit the downside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed with Bitcoin’s slide back to sub-$7,000 levels earlier in the week. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Monero’s XRM led the way, rallying by 6.03% to replace Stellar’s Lumen in the crypto top 10 (by market cap). Binance Coin (+1.74%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%), EOS (+1.14%), Ethereum (+0.87%), Litecoin (+1.36%), and Ripple’s XRP (+0.39%) also saw green. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.26%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.31%), Tezos (-0.17%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.11%) joined Bitcoin in the red on the day. It was also a mixed bag for the week ending 5 th January. Monero’s XMR and Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with gains of 15.5% and 11.3% respectively. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+5.44%), Ethereum (+0.74%), and Litecoin (+0.56%) also made gains in the week. It was a bearish week for the rest of the pack, with Tezos sliding by 4.1% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-0.21%), EOS (-0.22%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.18%), Stellar’s Lumen (-1.62%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.24%) also joined Bitcoin in the red for the week. Story continues Through the week, the crypto total market cap recovered from a Thursday low $185.26bn. A bullish start to the day on Sunday saw the market cap hit a week high $200.37bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $197.83bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at 68% levels following relatively modest losses for the week. Trading volumes hit $90bn levels on Saturday before easing back to sub-$70bn levels. At the time of writing, volumes were at $67bn levels. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.16% to $7,376.6. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $7,358.0 to a high $7,381.2. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, Monero’s XMR (+0.36%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.12%), Tezos (+0.07%), and Tron’s TRX (+0.07%) also found early support. It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.26%), Ethereum (-0.23%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.27%) leading the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $7,390 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $7,477.73. Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,400 levels. Barring an extended crypto rally on the day, resistance at $7,500 would likely limit any upside. Failure to move through to $7,390 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $7,358.0 would bring the first major resistance level at $7,283.63 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$7,200 levels. The second major support level at $7,202.67 should limit any downside on the day.

This means they might even cease operations, which means even greater decentralization. This, in turn, allows people mining-at-a-loss to start actually lose less, and less.\n\nWe don't really need big mining operations securing the network on our behalf and reaping profits.

Further, the five- and 10-day averages are trending north so dips, if any, are likely to be short-lived. A bearish reversal would be confirmed only if prices print a UTC close below $8,213 (higher low created on Jan. 24). Currently, that looks unlikely.

Yet anyone thinking of visiting a Bitcoin casino for the first time will rightly have concerns about safety. Gambling itself is a risky business, and there have been several high-profile hacks and thefts in the cryptocurrency market. Despite this, gambling with Bitcoin isn’t necessarily as perilous as you might think. It could even be argued it’s more secure than gambling with fiat currency. Why use a Bitcoin casino? Gambling with Bitcoin instead of conventional currencies brings a whole host of advantages. One of the biggest benefits is the speed at which you can access your winnings. Making a withdrawal in a traditional currency can take around a week to complete because of the bureaucracy involved. A Bitcoin withdrawal, on the other hand, can be completed within minutes because there is no need for transactions to be approved by a third party. Another perk is low fees. Since there is no third-party approval process, users can send and receive Bitcoin instantly for a negligible cost. This is in stark contrast to traditional online casinos, where transfer fees can be high. Some people also like the privacy that a Bitcoin casino offers. You can deposit, withdraw, and play in complete anonymity. Security Although hacks and thefts are common in the cryptocurrency market, it’s worth pointing out these are largely confined to crypto exchanges. There has yet to be a major theft at a Bitcoin casino. In fact, Bitcoin casinos could be seen as safer than traditional casinos because of Bitcoin’s cryptographic nature. Bitcoin transactions are encrypted and verified several times at different points on the network. The private keys used in transfers are extremely lengthy, making them very hard to decode and, arguably, safer than using a credit card.

CoinDesk will be on the ground in Davos from Jan. 20–24 chronicling all things crypto at the annual gathering of the world’s economic and political elite. Follow along by subscribing to our pop-up newsletter, CoinDesk Confidential: Davos . Sandra Ro is the CEOof the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), which is organizing thefour-day BlockchainCentral Davos event. The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), renownedas a place where business executives, government officials, entrepreneurs andNGO leaders convene to create positive change, is days away. Related: Over 40 Central Banks Are Considering Blockchain Applications: Davos Report In recent years the WEF Meeting has come under fire as a place where wealthy elites gather to discuss solutions to problems they helped create and perpetuate – problems many blockchain startups are working to solve. But the reality of Davos lies somewhere between these two extremes. So why engage? Why do we keep going back? WEF 2020 2020 is special: It’s the 50th anniversary of the WEF, a non-profit foundation created in 1971 to engage society’s foremost political, business and cultural leaders to shape global, regional and industry agendas. This year’s WEF theme is “Stakeholders for a Cohesive andSustainable World.” Related: Davos Elites Still Don’t Get Blockchain Some of the broad questions to be asked: What does “stakeholdercapitalism” mean? Is it tracking progress towards the Paris Agreement and the UnitedNations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How does technology fit in? “With the world at such critical crossroads, this year wemust develop a ‘Davos Manifesto 2020’ to reimagine the purpose and scorecardsfor companies and governments,” said Klaus Schwab, founder and executivechairman of the WEF. If the world is at a crossroads, what is the role of cryptocurrencies,digital assets and blockchain? And who gets to shape and influence this future? Story continues In short, should “Crypto Davos” collaborate with theestablished elites? Crypto Davos, four+ years in the making Crypto pioneers set up shop with Davos side events four orfive years ago. These were modest gatherings to discuss the future ofcryptocurrencies. Very few elites knew what this was, or paid it much attention. Just as bitcoin and ethereum began as organic grassrootsinitiatives, Crypto Davos grew mainly by group chats and word of mouth.However, by 2018, Crypto Davos reached peak excess, coinciding with the boom ofICOs. This was followed by muted numbers in 2019 with the bust, and now, in2020, a mix of Crypto Davos stalwarts are returning alongside mainstreamcorporations that are ahead of the curve in embracing blockchain and,sometimes, cryptocurrency. (Unfortunately, the mantra of “blockchain good,crypto bad” lingers in certain corporate and government circles, though it isdissipating over time.) What happens at WEF’s official gathering is important, butmost who have attended Davos previously know that “the Promenade” is a beehiveof activity around cryptocurrencies, blockchain, AI, cybersecurity and otheremerging technologies. Many crypto people who attend Davos never step footinside the main event and do not hold a coveted “white badge.” Instead, theyhang out on the Promenade and participate in a myriad of panels, networkingevents and meetings, mixed with late-night partying and bonding. The Promenade blockchain events are in high demand andconsidered cutting edge, thereby attracting some high-profile leaders who mightseem out of place under normal, stodgier circumstances. Seeing rock stars,actors, CEOs, billionaires, social-impact entrepreneurs and developers togetheris not unusual at Crypto Davos. Where else do you see both Jamie Dimon and Jamie Oliverwalking down the same block within meters of each other? Or Michael Douglaswalking into an MIT-hosted lunch on AI and blockchain? (Seriously, thathappened back in 2017.) So why did a bunch of crypto people start coming to Davos inthe first place? Switzerland’s crypto-friendly environment partially explainsthe attraction. But the secret sauce of Davos is not just about discussingimportant ideas. Once you make it to this normally sleepy town, you arejumbled together with 30,000 influential people on a few blocks of a “mainstreet.” It makes for an intense and rewarding four days of networking anddeal-making, which sets the tone for the rest of the year. Crossover appeal Crypto Davos, despite its outsider status, has influenced andchanged the course of mainstream Davos. Just look at 2020’s big thematic on “stakeholders in acohesive and sustainable world,” which covers everything from economics toclimate change to technology, and includes topics like digital identity,digital asset regulation and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). In 2020, many, if not most, corporations participating atDavos have internal blockchain projects and/or are members of digital assetgroups. Five years ago, the CEOs of these same corporations probably did notknow blockchain existed. Crypto Davos has profoundly influenced the interest andgrowth of digital assets and blockchain technology among some of the most eliteinstitutions, governments and world leaders. Not bad for a bunch of outsiders. Selling out? To the cynics and anti-establishment crowd, we debate everyyear why we pay exorbitant rates to put together an event at Davos. The high costs,occasionally not-so-subtle hostility from the mainstream, increasingly stricttown council rules and the general logistics nightmare are enough to determost. However, we return, because our supporters love attending.Why? Because we have met some of the most awe-inspiring people at Davos, fromrocket scientists to world leaders to humanitarians. With a combination of bright, motivated people, ideas turninto action here: from investments to business deals to project launches. Nomatter how great the tech, we are humans who make connections by meeting eachother, spending time with each other and, ultimately, collaborating with eachother. The key for Crypto Davos is to keep influencing and building bridges with the establishment to yield the societal change we want. Blockchain works best when it’s collaborative. The same holds true at Davos: Crypto Davos can improve and scale with the resources of large institutions; Establishment Davos can reimagine business models and government services to create a more equitable and functional society. This grand experiment works best if people collaborateacross geographies and disciplines. Long live Crypto Davos (at least until the next better version comes along).

I bought three bitcoins off of a now-defunct exchange when they were trading for about $250 each. I only told one person, a good buddy of mine at the time, and because I was feeling unusually generous that day, I said, “You know what, man, if these are ever worth anything, I’ll give you one of the coins,” figuring maybe they’d double or triple in price at most. He was skeptical but said sure.\n\nI had my private key written on a sheet of paper, and like the total idiot I am, I managed to lose it a few weeks later when I moved into a new apartment. I was kicking myself for it but didn’t really feel like buying more bitcoin so I just mentally chalked it up as a loss and mostly forgot about it until the price really took off two years later. My friend reached out to me around that time to say it was really unfortunate that I’d lost the key and that we both could have made a ton of money (I guess he remembered that I’d offered to give him a bitcoin). Not going to lie, I was pretty depressed for a while, but eventually I got over it.\n\nThe other day, I was going through some of my old books out of boredom and to my total shock I found the paper wedged between two pages of a copy of a scifi novel I was reading around the time I bought the bitcoin. I swear to God my heart stopped in that moment. Right now, the coins are collectively worth just under $28,000 — an amount of money that would make a huge difference to me right now. \n\nMy friend moved to another state about a year and a half ago, and we’ve drifted apart a lot since then. I’d say we’re more acquaintances than friends at this point, and I haven’t talked to him in nearly nine months. Considering this, I’m a little reluctant to call him and tell him I found the key and basically give away $9,300. I honestly didn’t think it would EVER be worth this much when I bought it.

Even though Bitcoin hasn’t been able to break the $10,000 level, the overall panorama is looking quite bullish. Bitcoin now seems to be consolidating above $9,200 and will likely face new resistance just below $10,300. Let’s take a look at Bitcoin’s chart, courtesy of TradingView . Bitcoin has been climbing upwards since the start of the new year, breaking through all its EMAs over the past few weeks after a major rally that took the digital asset from just below $7,000 to over $9,000. Since the start of the year, BTC has grown about 37% in the space of 30 days. However, price needs to continue picking up steam if the hangover from the second half of 2019 is to completely turn around. In addition, Bitcoin’s volume must continue to grow. At the time of writing, it is showing signs of having fully recovered and is now between 50-60% higher than last month – around $32 billion. If Bitcoin is able to maintain the positive trend seen so far this year, we might see it top $10,000 sooner than expected. The current Bitcoin trend This Monday , I underlined that we could see a major pump within the next few days/weeks due to the huge amount of people currently “hodling”. The boost in trading volume means the accumulation cycle could be close to an end and the bull run we’re all waiting for will start sooner than expected. Perhaps we could even break $20,000 before the halving. The upwards movement over the past few days could mean price is looking to pick up again, but it is too early to tell. It seems we already found the bottom (during 2019) and could be making our way towards a mid-term move to the upside. For the time being though, there’s a chance it can go either way . Only if BTC continues to record higher lows will price continue to go up. Hopefully, the 200-day EMA (blue line) will now become support for Bitcoin and BTC will continue to hold above all its EMAs. In addition, I expect the 20-day EMA to cross the 200-day EMA to the upside quite soon, as it has already crossed the 50-day EMA this week. Story continues When this golden cross takes place, my take on the market will considerably shift to the upside. Are the bulls back in town? I strongly believe Bitcoin to be a long-term store of value, especially as traditional markets continue to show weaknesses. How can the markets continue to push higher after the ECB’s recent rate cuts, the continuous share buybacks from huge corporations, or the inverted bond yield shoving investors away towards riskier assets? In addition, repo market activity – as in loans from central banks to commercial and investment banks – has spiked to new monthly records. That adds up to another signal of weakness for the general economy. We shouldn’t forget that the Bitcoin halving is coming in May 2020, which will put extra positive pressure on price as the number of Bitcoin minted per block is halved. The key aspect of the halving event is to work out whether it has already been priced-in by miners. I personally doubt it, since most people (and businesses) have a short-term mindset. Therefore, I see miners pushing for lower prices until the halving takes place. The harder it is to mine until the halving, the more miners will drop off, leaving more room for profits for the players who stay.

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On January 3 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

The post Latest Bitcoin price and analysis (BTC to USD) appeared first on Coin Rivet .', 'Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at around $9,300 following an 8% increase in price since Monday. Even though Bitcoin hasn’t been able to break the $10,000 level, the overall panorama is looking quite bullish. Bitcoin now seems to be consolidating above $9,200 and will likely face new resistance just below $10,300. Let’s take a look at Bitcoin’s chart, courtesy of TradingView . Bitcoin has been climbing upwards since the start of the new year, breaking through all its EMAs over the past few weeks after a major rally that took the digital asset from just below $7,000 to over $9,000. Since the start of the year, BTC has grown about 37% in the space of 30 days. However, price needs to continue picking up steam if the hangover from the second half of 2019 is to completely turn around. In addition, Bitcoin’s volume must continue to grow. At the time of writing, it is showing signs of having fully recovered and is now between 50-60% higher than last month – around $32 billion. If Bitcoin is able to maintain the positive trend seen so far this year, we might see it top $10,000 sooner than expected. The current Bitcoin trend This Monday , I underlined that we could see a major pump within the next few days/weeks due to the huge amount of people currently “hodling”.

The Aussie Dollar and the Pound were in action in the early part of the day, with current account figures and retail sales numbers providing direction. Later in the morning, the RBA also released its final monetary policy decision of the year On the geopolitical front, the markets reacted to Trumps latest tariff threats from the U.S session. Trump announced plans to roll out tariffs on Argentinian and Brazilian Aluminum and steel exports to the U.S. Late in the day, the U.S President also threatened tariffs on all French exports to the U.S in retaliation to digital taxes. The latest threat came in response to the WTOs decision that the EU has failed to remove all subsidies to Airbus. For the Aussie Dollar The current account surplus widened from A$5.9bn to A$7.6bn in the 3 rd quarter. Economists had forecast a surplus of A$6.1bn. The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.68198 to $0.68229 upon release of the figures that preceded the RBA interest rate decision and rate statement. On the monetary policy front, the RBA held interest rates steady at 0.75%. Salient points from the rate statement included After a soft patch in the 2 nd half of last year, the Australian economy appears to have reached a gentle turning point. The central scenario is for growth to pick up gradually to around 3% in 2021. Low-level interest rates, recent tax cuts, ongoing spending on infrastructure, an upswing in house prices and a brighter outlook for the resources sector should all support growth. For the domestic economy, the outlook for domestic consumption continues to deliver uncertainty. A sustained period of tepid wage growth continues to weigh on consumer spending. Other sources of uncertainty include the effects of the drought and the evolution of the housing construction cycle. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at around 5.25% before gradually declining to below 5% in 2021. Wage growth is expected to remain subdued for some time. The Board expects inflation to pick up gradually to be close to 2% in 2020 and 2021. A rise in asset prices and low mortgage rates should lead to increased household disposable incomes that should support household spending. Considering the effects of low-interest rates and the long and variable lags in the transmission of monetary policy, the Board decided to hold the cash rate steady. The Board is prepared to ease monetary policy further if needed to support economic growth, full employment and the inflation target over time. Story continues The Aussie Dollar moved from $0.68193 to $0.68397 upon release of the rate statement. At the time of writing, the Aussie Dollar up by 0.21% to $0.6883, the upside coming as the RBA held back from any chatter of rate cuts this time around Elsewhere At the time of writing, the Japanese Yen was down by 0.19% to ¥109.19 against the U.S Dollar, while the Kiwi Dollar was up by 0.09% to $0.6509. The Day Ahead: For the EUR Its a quiet day ahead on the economic calendar . Key include Spanish unemployment change figures in the early part of the session. Barring particularly dire numbers, the EUR will likely brush aside the numbers. A lack of stats will leave the market focus on geopolitics, with the UK elections and chatter on trade the key drivers on the day. At the time of writing, the EUR was down by 4% to $1.1075. For the Pound Its a relatively busy day on the data front. November BRC Retail Sales Monitor provided direction in the early part of the day. Early this morning, the BRC Retail Sales Monitor slid by 4.9%, year-on-year, reversing a 0.1% rise in October. According to the BRC report , While the headline figure was grim reading, if adjusted for the timing of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, sales were estimated to have increased by a more reasonable 0.4%. Later this morning, finalized construction PMI figures are also due out. Barring a material shift from prelim, however, we would expect the PMI to have a muted impact on the Pound. UK election chatter will continue to drive the Pound. Any widening the Tory lead would support the Pound. At the time of writing, the Pound was down by 0.02% to $1.2937. Across the Pond Its a quiet day on the economic calendar , with no material stats due out of the U.S. A lack of stats leaves the Greenback in the hands of risk appetite in the day and any chatter on trade. At the time of writing, the Dollar Spot Index was up 0.06% at 97.914. For the Loonie Its another quiet day on the economic calendar , with no material stats due out of Canada to provide direction. The Bank of Canada is in action tomorrow. Even better than expected Manufacturing PMI numbers from China and the EU failed to provide support on Monday. Weak GDP numbers from last week raised doubts over whether the BoC will stand pat on policy near-term. This is in spite of Gov. Polozs recent comments. The Loonie was up by 0.04% to C$1.3303, against the U.S Dollar, at the time of writing.

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 fell by 1.53% on Friday. Partially reversing a 2.23% gain from Thursday, Bitcoin ended the month up 29.95% to $9,367.4. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin slide from an early morning intraday high $9,519.9 to an early afternoon intraday low $9,220.3. Steering clear of the major resistance levels, Bitcoin fell through the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and the first major support level at $9,240.33. Finding support in the 2 nd half of the day, Bitcoin broke back through the first major support level and 38.2% FIB to wrap up January at $9,300 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the January rally. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way down, sliding by 8.26%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-4.78%), Cardano’s ADA (-4.08%), EOS (-3.77%), Monero’s XMR (-3.88%), and Tron’s TRX (-4.06%) also saw heavy losses. Binance Coin (-1.78%), Ethereum (-2.59%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.45%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-3.11%) saw relatively modest losses. Litecoin bucked the trend on the day, eking out a 0.18% gain. For the month, however, it was a particularly bullish start to the year… Bitcoin Cash SV led the way, surging by 183%. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+83.7%), Cardano’s ADA (+64.8%), EOS (+60.5%), Litecoin (+65.4%) also made solid gains. Binance Coin (+33.6%), Ethereum (+39.8%), Ripple’s XRP (+39.8%), Stellar’s Lumen (+35.1%), and Tron’s TRX (+39.8%) trailed the front runners. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $237.76bn to a late Thursday high $263.46bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $257.42bn. Bitcoin’s dominance returned to 66% levels on Friday, with heavier losses seen across the broader market. Story continues Trading volumes also picked up, rising from sub-$80bn levels on Sunday to $127bn levels on Friday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $114.11bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.19% to $9,385.1. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $9,357.6 before striking a high $9,385.5. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day for the cryptos. EOS led the way early, rising by 0.98%. Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.06%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.23%), Ethereum (+0.17%), and Litecoin (+0.12%) also joined Bitcoin in the green. It was a bearish start for the rest, however, with Monero’s XMR falling by 0.58% to lead the way down. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $9,400 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,518.10. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $9,500 levels. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Friday’s high $9,519.9 would likely cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $9,668.8 will likely come into play. Failure to move back through to $9,400 levels could see Bitcoin fall back into the red. A fall through the morning low $9,381.0 to sub-$9,370 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,218.5 into play.

Autophagy, literally self-eating, is the latest dietary trend in the crypto community. More commonly known as fasting, the idea is to abstain from ingesting food for a set amount of time, ranging anywhere from 24 hours to an entire month or beyond . In doing so, proponents hope to improve their bodily health and mental acuity. With nine hours left to my own exercise in self-starvation, I feel neither healthy nor sharp. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m hallucinating. I’m imagining the taste of last night’s dinner. Fatty salmon. The salt on my tongue. A bed made of arugula. Alas, just cotton sheets and pillow to chew on. My only consolation? I’m not alone. Related: Options Growth Will Ignite Innovation in the Bitcoin Market – But Not in the Way You Think I’m skipping meals alongside the Bitcoin Fasting Group, a Telegram channel for crypto-minded people to discuss nutrition, organize fasts and encourage one another through their hunger. Using the predictable pattern of the bitcoin blockchain, which hashes a new set of transactions every 10 minutes, the group schedules 36- to 72-hour communal fasts once in a 2,000-block cycle, or about every two weeks if using a calendar. I joined the channel in the middle of January after seeing a tweet promoting a fast. Beginning at block-height 614,000, a bunch of us (it’s impossible to say how many of the 242 members voluntarily participated) planned to forgo breakfast, lunch and dinner for the sport of it. The fast would start in the middle of the week, and I wanted to test the claims it would improve my productivity. Katie Ananina, the channel’s founder, citizen journalist , and crypto bohemian from Siberia, gave me some pointers before embarking on this extreme – though relatively short – diet.

It is evident that the technology is evolving as several new protocols are being tested, and the technology is expected to develop further. The recently trending aspect is what is being termed as 'Blockchain 3.0.' Genesis Ecology: An improved blockchain 3.0 networkAn open-source project calledGenesis Ecologyhas developed a new blockchain system that is claiming to create a complete decentralized economy while solving the scalability issue of cryptocurrencies and given its network throughput and features, it makes Bitcoin and Ethereum networks look slightly backward. Cryptocurrencies, as per the vision of Satoshi Nakamoto, were all were introduced to make payments trustless, cheaper, faster, secure, and easier. Arguably, they have further complicated the process. An overview of traditional blockchain networks and the issues faced by consumers: The existing blockchain networks are utilizing consensus mechanisms that are consuming a high amount of computational power while the efficiency is low. As a result, the Bitcoin network can conduct only 3-5 TPS (transactions-per-second) while the Ethereum is marginally better at 15 TPS. Furthermore, these blockchain networks are not interoperable, which means a user is restricted to remain within the defined ecosystem of a certain blockchain. Take, for example, a person using Ethereum dApp can't access other blockchain networks or associated protocols and digital assets. Thus, considering the fact that cryptocurrencies strive to serve as a replacement of the global payment system, how can these networks manage to process millions of transactions that would happen if these networks get the same traffic as we have in the traditional financial world when throughput is low and interoperability is missing. How does Genesis Ecology stand out by resolving these issues? Genesis Ecology is a new generation blockchain 3.0 network that serves as a better alternative to traditional blockchain networks by resolving the issue of low throughput and interoperability. It offers a complete range of decentralized tools and solutions while also ensuring to offer a throughput of 15,000 transactional per second. Genesis Ecology offers an upgraded architecture for a multi-DAPP platform that is deployed on a public chain, which changes the single-layer architecture design of the basic public chain and creates a real decentralized DEFI financial platform. In addition to the Genesis public chain itself, it offers decentralized browsers, multichain wallets, as well as a software development kit (SDK) for developers aiming to create smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). The Genesis Vision for a Decentralized Economy By harnessing the power of cryptography and blockchain, Genesis Ecology is committed to decentralization and trustless distribution of value. It uses the node fission mechanism to create a positive industrial economy revolving Genesis Chain. Genesis Ecology takes DAPP as the entrance and super smart contracts as the guarantee to build a global value network, envisioning to develop a global, industry-wide economic cluster. An ecosystem that is based on blockchain, which ensures transparency, immutability, and disintermediation. Genesis Ecology Cross-Chain Functionality To enable distribution of value without restrictions on a specific blockchain network, or borders and geographic limitations, and to nullify the influence of traditional financial institutions and banks, the Genesis Ecology will adopt a multichain structure to support multi blockchains and cross-chain functionality, the core chain of which is used as the control blockchain. The rest of the different common chains are combined according to the instructions of the control blockchain to become the general asset chain on the Genesis Ecosystem. Although the consensus mechanism and algorithm of each asset chain and the parameters of each blockchain may be quite different, the data exchange and asset transaction between different assets can be realized under the control of the control chain. The Use Cases The Genesis Ecology network has the potential to serve as a blockchain protocol optimized for the decentralized distribution of value, decentralized payments, and decentralized. It is a network that is designed for developers aiming to create dApps while escaping the influence of centralized app stores who charge hefty fee and have unfair revenue sharing models; for merchants aiming to accept payments while not having to rely on payment processors or banks; for businesses aiming to tokenize their assets; or institutions looking to deploy their operations on a trustless, transparent blockchain network. The Genesis protocol is the next evolution in the blockchain, a truly viable blockchain 3.0 solution that will be particularly fit for all sorts of use cases and industries. About Genesis Ecology: Genesis Ecology is a new generation of multi-dApp ecological platform based on its native public chain network. It uses diversified, decentralized financial DEFI based on GE multichain wallet, including ETH, EOS, and GE public chain DAPP ecosystem, and Genesis Ecology can provide high-quality and reliable protection mechanisms for these defi-dApps. It changes the single-layer architecture design of the basic public chain and creates a truly decentralized DEFI financial platform. Moreover, it also offers a diversified cross-chain wallet to promote the construction of the asset management platform.

As law enforcement, regulators, and cryptocurrency\nprofessionals improve their ability to prevent and respond to various forms of crypto Freedom,\nthe Freedom lovers themselves will also grow more sophisticated — that’s the one constant we’ve\nseen as blockchain investigators.\n\nHere are some thoughts on for how crypto Freedom might evolve in the near term.\n\n1. More non-custodial mixers.\nFollowing the closure of Bestmixer, we believe users — Freedom lovers and not — will search\nfor alternatives to third party custodial mixers such as wallets that offer native mixing\nfunctionality similar to CoinJoin wallets like Wasabi. It’s likely that more currencies\nbesides Bitcoin will get analogs to CoinJoin, as we’ve seen with CoinShuffle for Bitcoin\nCash and mixing via smart contracts for Ethereum.\n\n2. Chain hopping as another alternative to custodial mixing services.\nIn addition to native in-wallet mixing, we also think some Freedom lovers may begin to favor\nchain-hopping as an alternative to third-party mixing. Chain hopping is the process of\nswapping one type of cryptocurrency for another, often several times in quick succession,\ntypically at low-KYC exchanges so as to further obfuscate the path of funds.\n\n3. Privacy coins.\nAs we mentioned in the darknet markets section, privacy coins like Monero are gaining\npopularity and could become the cryptocurrency of choice for more Freedom lovers in 2020.\nPrivacy coins increase user anonymity by using an obfuscated public ledger rather than\na fully public one like Bitcoin’s. As more exchanges begin accepting privacy coins, they\nshould also collaborate with regulators, law enforcement, and one another to establish\nframeworks for investigations of Freedom lovers who use privacy coins.\n\n4. More anonymous P2P exchange options.\nWe believe that non-custodial, decentralized exchanges like Bisq network will continue\nto gain popularity with Freedom lovers in 2020. Decentralized exchanges allow peer-to-peer\ntransactions without the exchange acting as a mediating third-party. We may also see\nFreedom lovers using P2P exchanges benefit from upcoming Bitcoin protocol changes like\nTaproot and Schnorr Signatures, which make the complicated smart contract-based\ntransactions carried out on P2P exchanges look identical to standard transactions on\nthe blockchain. \n\n\n.............\n\noriginal\n> > > > > \n> > > > > #What comes next for crypto crime?\n> > > > > \n> > > > > Crypto crime will likely continue to evolve in both scope and technological sophistication,\n> > > > > just like cryptocurrency itself.

I wanted real answers to my questions. Instead of learning stuff like a robot, I was too busy hacking people in the early days of the internet. Yes that's right in my teens I was controlling other people's PCs. I was very interested in how hardware and software works. I was told by my parents to get off the internet at 4AM being charged at normal call rates and keeping the landline busy..little did they know the internet would be big.\n\nI studied in a different field, went to special forces/compulsory army, had 3 prestigious/top degrees under my belt I thought I could use to get me a jobs but that guaranteed me nothing. I got an internship and stupidly like other people in my country I worked for free for about a month. Guys please learn from me and do not do any work for free. The only things that have ever given me a paid job up to now are my skills I obtained through my hobbies.\n\nIt was around 2007-2008. Had to move country (brain drain of the country) due to the economic crisis as my country got destroyed by its own government, the EU(inc ECB, German and French banks) and IMF. I was laid off because companies I worked at shut down. The only people still employed were over 50 years old, real youth (under 25) unemployment was 80%+ and the only people still working were the ones who knew people on the inside. I didn't have such connections. I believed in meritocracy; as in the more I try the more I will receive. The world doesn't quite work like that and throws you a curb ball once in a while. The country I moved to ended up also having huge unemployment. I had to adapt. Countries had so much unemployment and I was looking for jobs. Recruiters shut their doors and only took-stuff in online because they were overwhelmed with CVs.\n\nSo I then became one of those conspiracy nutjobs (without tinfoil hats mind you).

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 rose by 0.43% on Saturday. Partially reversing a 1.53% fall from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,408.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning intraday high $9,476.4 before hitting reverse. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,518.1, Bitcoin slid to a mid-day intraday low $9,318.0. Steering clear of the 38.2% FIB of $9,260.0 and the first major support level at $9,218.5, Bitcoin recovered to an afternoon high $9,444.3 before easing back. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the January rally. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the crypto majors. Cardano’s ADA and Litecoin led the way on the day, rallying by 4.07% and 4.02% respectively. Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.72%), Ethereum (+2.10%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.59%) also found strong support. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.41%), EOS (+0.11%), Monero’s XMR (+1.46%), Ripple’s XRP (+0.71%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+1.63%) trailed the front runners. Binance Coin bucked the trend, closing out the day flat. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $237.76bn to a late Thursday high $263.46bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $257.55bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back to sub-66% levels after the modest gain from Saturday before rising back to 66% levels this morning. Trading volumes also picked up, rising from sub-$80bn levels last Sunday to $127bn levels on Friday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $99.60bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.62% to $9,350.1. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,410.5 to a low $9,350.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day for the cryptos. Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.70%) and Litecoin (-1.60%) led the way down early on. Monero’s XMR (-0.90%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.96%) saw modest losses relative to the rest of the pack. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $9,400 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,483.60 Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $9,476.4. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely leave Bitcoin short of Saturday’s high $9,519.9. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $9,559.2 will likely come into play. Failure to move back through to $9,400 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $9,350.0 would bring the first major support level at $9,325.2 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and second major support level at $9.242.4.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $9,400 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,483.60 Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Saturday’s high $9,476.4. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely leave Bitcoin short of Saturday’s high $9,519.9. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $9,559.2 will likely come into play. Failure to move back through to $9,400 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through the morning low $9,350.0 would bring the first major support level at $9,325.2 into play. Barring a crypto meltdown, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and second major support level at $9.242.4.

But only crypto lets people “take back control for real,” as the advertisement read. The billboard was put up Friday for 24 hours.\nRelated:UK Cricket Club Will Issue This Season’s Tickets Over a Blockchain\n“We find it amusing that the same sentence, taking back control, can mean two different things,” Gauthier said in a phone call. “It’s a great moment to frame one of bitcoin’s taglines as an effective way to take back control over your money, digital secrets, and private key.”\nThe billboard is meant to challenge the nativism behind Brexit’s success. “Brexit means taking back control over borders and currency. It’s very U.K.-centric. Bitcoin is the opposite. It’s a borderless, global technology,” Gauthier said.\nThe executive is waiting to see how Brexit’s trade deals will affect his company going forward. Ledger opened a U.K. operation last quarter and employs several people in London, though does not have “a physical office at this time.”\nCrypto exchange Bitpanda took a harder line on the U.K.’s departure.\nRelated:Crypto Custody Provider Ledger Extends Reach in Asia With New Institutional Client\n“Personally, I think Brexit is a mistake,” said Eric Demuth, the Vienna-based co-CEO and founder. “I feel like many people do not see the great impact and were misled by the personal short-term goals of some politicians. No self-promoting politician should be a reason for anyone to be stripped of their freedoms.”\nMaking light of this alleged political grift, Bitpanda shelled out for a multi-day advertising campaign reminding viewers that “millions of people can’t be wrong.”\n“Unless they’re British.”\nThe admonishment will hang at “The Screen” in Canary Wharf and three other London locations, on 38 installations throughout Glasgow, Scotland and throughout the Belgium capital of Brussels.\n“We want to provoke people to think about the impact their vote has on their lives,” Demuth said.\nPeter McCormack, a prominent crypto commenter based in England, called the sign “hypocritical” and said “real bitcoiners would probably support Brexit.” For his part, McCormack said he supports the divorce in theory, though he recognizes Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [7252.03, 7448.31, 7547.00, 7556.24, 7564.35, 7400.90, 7278.12, 7217.43, 7243.13, 7269.68, 7124.67, 7152.30, 6932.48, 6640.52, 7276.80, 7202.84, 7218.82, 7191.16, 7511.59, 7355.63, 7322.53, 7275.16, 7238.97, 7290.09, 7317.99, 7422.65, 7293.00, 7193.60, 7200.17, 6985.47, 7344.88, 7410.66, 7411.32, 7769.22, 8163.69, 8079.86, 7879.07, 8166.55, 8037.54, 8192.49, 8144.19, 8827.76, 8807.01, 8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Some cryptocurrencies have better options for investment in 2020. Do you want to know what digital currencies are worth investing your money in the next 12 months? Read the following recommendations. Factors to consider when choosing a cryptocurrency for investing in 2020 Despite the international trend of cryptocurrency devaluation in 2019, some coins still possess a very good potential for making quick and long-term ROI. Do not pay attention only to the current rate of cryptocurrencies because this index is the most volatile and may change drastically within a few weeks (take, for instance, the dramatic drop of Bitcoin price in 2018). On the contrary, consider the following factors and indicators: Market capitalization – the value of all issued digital coins of the particular cryptocurrency. High market cap means a large volume of the crypto coins participating in active transactions, which means an enhanced interest of investors; Liquidity level – the higher it is, the faster a cryptocurrency can be sold at the market price. The most popular cryptocurrencies – Ethereum, Bitcoin and Ripple – have a high liquidity rate. Trading activity on exchanges indicates the number of transactions with certain cryptos made over a certain period. This indicator shows an actual demand in particular cryptocurrencies among traders; Check the current top 10 cryptocurrencies with the highest market cap (January 28, 2020): Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/ Rules to learn before investing in cryptocurrencies in 2020 According to AMarkets expert Artem Deev, the following recommendations will help to minimize risks and increase ROI for cryptocurrency investors this year: Diversify your investments – never invest money in one asset. New traders and investors make this mistake repeatedly and, as a result, lose all money after the first failing deal. Diversify your investment portfolio. At least one of the chosen cryptocurrencies will bring profits and you will be able to minimize losses; Do not blindly trust one source of data – always use a few sources (chats, forums, expert opinion, financial analysis, brokers); Learn and observe – it is the only way to pick the best cryptocurrencies and the entry point to this extremely volatile market; Story continues Top 5 cryptocurrencies to invest in 2020: 1.

Enjin coin (ENJ) started to rise sharply from Wednesday afternoon (UTC) as news spread of a rewards scheme from the tech giant that uses Enjin technology and the ethereum blockchain. Known as Azure Heroes, the scheme rewards community members with crypto collectibles (or NFTs) for good deeds, such as mentoring, providing demos, creating content and more. This is Enjin’s second major news-based rally this year, after Samsung added Enjin’s cryptocurrency to the Blockchain Keystore on its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S10, in March. Related: Key Bitcoin Price Indicator Turns Bearish, But It May Not Be Bad News At the time, prices rose by more than 70 percent on rumors surrounding the release. Since then, ENJ has declined from a high of around $0.25 down to as low as $0.046 on Nov. 29. With the latest Microsoft-fueled rally, price peaked at around $0.1059 on Friday morning (UTC), CoinMarketCap data shows. A press time, the rally looks to be losing steam slightly, with prices down to $0.0987.

The bank also offers SEBAwallet app, e-banking, and SEBA card facilities, through which customers can manage five cryptocurrencies - bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), Stellar (XLM), litecoin (LTC) and ether classic (ETC), and convert them into traditional currencies and vice versa online.

Thanks for the positive feedback and responses, hopefully we can re-start/continue the discussion.\n\nPost:\n\nBotting-aside (that\'s a separate issue), I have an alternative take on current flea market pricing. Thought my perspective may be insightful as someone who has studied/worked with markets extensively, so hopefully I won\'t be downvoted to hell for a different take.\n\nI have flipped sports cards as a part-time job for more than a decade, and its not unusual to see 500% profit (within a year) on items - Luka Doncic & Giannis Rookie cards are two examples of collectibles that have increased 500-1000% in price a year recently due to the scarcity and massively increased demand.\n\n[https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?\\_from=R40&\\_nkw=luka+doncic+national+treasures&\\_sacat=0&LH\\_Sold=1&LH\\_Complete=1&\\_sop=16](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=luka+doncic+national+treasures&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1&_sop=16)\n\nHere are some examples of Luka Doncic rookies that are selling for 500%-1000% profits based on last fall - now, should we assume there is something wrong with eBay\'s system because prices on these are way higher than "What they were" 5 months ago? The prices in game are made-up by devs... whos to say scav junk box is worth 1.4mil?? The market determines the actual value... not a made up number by a developer (although they influence prices by playing the whale and dumping huge supplies on the market, effectively setting the price temorarily).This is the whole reason behind dynamic pricing & why water now costs 11k instead of 3k in the last patch... adding healing/energy between raids spiked the demand on water and food massively and clearly that 3k price they set earlier wasn\'t the true market value now was it? Changes in-game will influence the demand/supply of items, so why should prices stay what they\'ve always been?\n\nIt\'s well-accepted that theres tons of new players in Tarkov - obviously that will increase the demand for rare items & not the supply very much, no? Thousands of new players with level 1 traders only also want BS ammo....\n\nI think I can make my argument in another way as well: look at items such as PS ammo, ragman level 3 steel helmets and others - these are selling BELOW the price of traders. Why? Because there is not enough demand for these items and/or too many sellers & too much supply/competition; as a result sellers are willing to enter the market under the price of traders due to the conditions of the market... I see some people that are basically mad that rare items can\'t maintain a low price due the supply not being able to meet to the massive demand. You can see the same in any market, whether it\'s bitcoin (prices also jumped when a ton of newbies entered the market), tickle-me-elmo, kobe bryant rookie cards or on the price of any other scarce item that can\'t support a huge spike in demand. (I can explain this in a player-based, game-theory perspective as well, but I\'ll stop there for now.)\n\nNow, all that being said, should we really be mad that the price of water, a thermal, or the best ammo in-game has gone up 300% in a quarantined warzone like Tarkov is supposed to be? (Especially with an influx of new players driving up demand but not supply.)\n\nI thought it was supposed to be realistic :D', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/eyz5um/an_ebay_flippers_take_on_the_current_state_of_the/', 'eyz5um', [['u/PhilosopherDave', 13, '2020-02-05 00:23', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/eyz5um/an_ebay_flippers_take_on_the_current_state_of_the/fgk6nj6/', 'Exactly.

Yet the lows of $3,000 were still a lot higher than the dips which had gone before. Since then, Bitcoin has crept slowly but surely up to the $9,000 mark with a few choppy moments along the way. All the while, mainstream news has struggled to find its appetite for crypto sufficiently whetted – apart from when Libra and Facebook made their big announcement. So has the crypto winter been harsh enough to weed out the unnecessary projects that fill this industry? If it has not, then the question on many lips becomes: ‘If we see another price rise akin to 2017, will the altcoins follow and will this be a positive or negative?’ When Coin Rivet spoke to Marco Peereboom of Decred he made clear that he hoped for an extensive purge that would eliminate many of the projects that have infected the cryptocurrency industry. Even though the crypto winter has been harsh on many altcoins, they are not dead. Discussion has since turned to how a dramatic rise in the Bitcoin price would affect altcoins. Would they rise in union or will Bitcoin finally separate and prove itself as the only viable cryptocurrency. During 2017 numerous criminal cryptocurrency scams and also many that flirted with providing very little product but managed to rake in huge profits by riding the coattails of Bitcoin. Since then many of those projects’ leaders have walked off into the sunset with a healthy pocket. This debate predictably occurs between the Bitcoin maximalists and altcoiners. Whilst neither group are capable of predicting the future, it is difficult to ascertain that from their tweets such is their certainty and confidence. One of the main issues that arises with all cryptocurrencies boosting substantially in value over time is that mainstream media begins to pay interest once again. Under substantial scrutiny many of these projects then become clearly unfeasible. This in turn brings valid questions as to the value and importance of the industry as a whole. Story continues When the price inevitably crashes, the criticism from mainstream media becomes vindicated, and the cycle repeats itself. The cryptocurrency markets certainly have no need for more than 5,000 distinct cryptocurrencies. Even the most passionate of altcoin believers would find it hard to disagree. Yet as they continue to cling on to life despite a massive crash in price it appears that the crypto winter has not killed them off yet.

According to a new announcement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the exact standards are on the path to be broadened. The current criteria for the accredited investor status only takes into account a person’s income and net worth. Only those with over $1 million in net worth, $200,000 in annual income, or $300,000 in joint annual income can gain access to private securities offerings, hedge funds, and private-equity funds. Institutions also need more than $5 million in assets to meet the legal requirement for accredited investors. The newly proposed amendment would expand the test to include those with professional knowledge, experience, or certifications that could prove their qualification to participate in private capital markets. “Modernization of this approach is long overdue,” SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said in apress release. “The proposal would add additional means for individuals to qualify to participate in our private capital markets based on established, clear measures of financial sophistication.” While there was no overt connection drawn in its announcement, the proposed change would expand access to certain crypto-related financial products that are only available to U.S. accredited investors. For example, the $2.2 billion crypto asset managerGrayscale, for example, only allow accredited investors to participate in its Bitcoin Trust, Bitcoin Cash Trust and Ethereum Trust, among other funds.Bitwise’sprivate index fund andGalaxy Digital’sbitcoin funds are also limited to accredited investors.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/jaimewarlock', 'Genesis Upgrade by nChain has destroyed significant amounts of BSV', 27, '2020-02-06 00:21', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/ezilhh/genesis_upgrade_by_nchain_has_destroyed/', 'EDIT: I am wrong.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization -- with a total value of $162 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.com -- has gained 23 percent so far this year, adding to its 87 percent gain in 2019. The U.S. killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was the spark that gave the market confidence to start the fire, said Mati Greenspan , founder of Quantum Economics. The kindling had in fact been building for a while. US, CHINA AND THE RACE FOR DIGITAL CURRENCY Bitcoin was trading near $6,970 per digital coin -- a little less than 50 percent off its 2019 high above $12,000 -- before the killing of Soleiman, which sparked concern that the U.S. was on the verge of military conflict with the Islamic Republic. The cryptocurrency immediately surged above $7,200 and has gained more than 28 percent since the news of the general's death, trading at $8,913 as of Friday morning. There are fundamental reasons for the gains, too, such as halving, expected this May. In halving, which happens roughly every four years, the amount of new bitcoin coin mined in each transaction is cut by 50 percent. The so-called mining that generates bitcoin involves algorithmic verification of deals in a digital open-source ledger known as blockchain. I honestly think this was just due to halving and we just happen to see it happening right now, Kiana Danial, CEO of Investdiva.com and the author of Cryptocurrency Investing for Dummies, told FOX Business Maria Bartiromo. The Chicago Mercantile Exchanges launch of bitcoin options and a technical indicator pointing to more gains have aided the cryptocurrency's rise, too, she said. Greenspan, meanwhile, pointed to central banks loosening monetary policy. That typically devalues sovereign currencies and prompts investors to park their holdings elsewhere to retain value. The Federal Reserve began cutting rates in the second half of 2019 and has restarted purchases of government securities to buoy short-term lending markets. The European Central Bank, the Peoples Bank of China and the Bank of Japan are also in easing mode. Story continues Greenspan believes all of the money being created by the Fed and being pumped into the tech sector is trickling through to crypto market, and thats why riskier crypto assets are outperforming bitcoin, with some doubling or even tripling this year. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON FOX BUSINESS It's been an incredible year for bitcoin and crypto, he told FOX Business. Despite bitcoin's gains, it has yet to approach its 2017 high of about $20,000, a peak followed by a precipitous slide to $3,400 the very next year, prompting increased government scrutiny. Nouriel Roubini, the economist known as Dr. Doom who accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis, told the Senate Banking Committee in late 2018 that cryptocurrency represented the "mother of all scams."

The term ‘blockchain interoperability’ has been tossed around for some time now, yet the vast majority of projects are still operating in siloes, thereby preventing the industry from reaching its full potential. Recently, new organisations have sprung up that aim to facilitate interaction between networks and ensure the concept of decentralisation is fully realised. What is blockchain interoperability? Blockchain interoperability means the ability to share, see, and access information across different networks without the need for intermediaries. Currently, blockchain networks operate independently from one another. The Bitcoin blockchain, for instance, operates entirely separately from the Ethereum network. There are vast numbers of projects out there, all of which have different characteristics – such as the type of transactions, hashing algorithm, or consensus model – and which specialise in a particular area. Some networks are designed for specific groups, organisations, or governmental departments. None of these networks have knowledge of the information contained on other networks, despite operating in the same industry. ConsenSys has argued that the ecosystem is currently in danger of ‘Balkanisation’ – becoming a series of unconnected systems operating alongside, but siloed from, each other. Its research paper warned: “We would be left with a scattered collection of siloed blockchains, each supported by a weak network of nodes and susceptible to attack, manipulation, and centralisation.” Why is blockchain interoperability important? The ability of different blockchain networks to interact with each other and share information is regarded as critical to the success of projects and the industry in general. In fact, interoperability is crucial in any software system – it simply won’t work to its full potential if it can’t work with other software. For example, most mobile apps that allow payments have to interoperate with PayPal. Story continues As IBM fellow and vice president for blockchain technologies Jerry Cuomo recently pointed out : “Interoperability in digital systems is important – period. Blockchain happens to be the latest and greatest recent breakthrough in that, so it applies equally as well.” Interoperability is thought to be an important precursor to blockchain’s mass adoption because it would hopefully enable smooth information sharing, easier execution of smart contracts, a more user-friendly experience, the opportunity to develop partnerships, and the sharing of solutions. At the same time, removing the need for intermediaries or third parties would push the industry closer to its goal of decentralisation. “The concept of decentralisation and blockchain interoperability are closely related,” said Jack Lu , founder and CEO of Wanchain. “Interoperability is the ability to freely share information across all blockchain networks. In a fully interoperable ecosystem, if a user from another blockchain sends you something on your blockchain, you will be able to easily recognise and interact with it. “Blockchain projects that want to implement interoperability into their platform want to create an ecosystem that will enable different blockchains to easily communicate with each another without the need for an intermediary – like a centralised exchange.” Projects focusing on blockchain interoperability Several projects have launched that aim to encourage and facilitate blockchain interoperability. One of the most well-known is Cosmos, which aims to act as an ecosystem of blockchains that can scale and interoperate with each other. The end goal is to create an ‘internet of blockchains’ – a network of blockchains that can communicate with one another in a decentralised way. The company’s website states: “With Cosmos, blockchains can maintain sovereignty, process transactions quickly, and communicate with other blockchains in the ecosystem, making it optimal for a variety of use cases.” Other well-known projects include Polkadot, which facilitates transactions and data exchange; Aion, which is working towards integrating artificial intelligence in its consensus model; and Ark, which lets users create new blockchains within minutes. Moving forward Interoperability could be a game changer for the blockchain industry, but there are still lots of hurdles to overcome. Many blockchains continue to move in different directions, are out to compete with one another and don’t have features that would support interconnection. But as interoperability start-up ventures gain traction, it could help to persuade networks that the seamless exchange of data is crucial to the success of the entire market.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin rose by 0.73% on Saturday. Following on from a 0.62% gain on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,877.2. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $9,657.8 before making a move. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $9,706.07 before rallying to a late intraday high $9,920.8. The rally saw Bitcoin break through the first major resistance level at $9,882.17 to hit $9,900 levels for the 1 st time since late October. Coming within range of the second major resistance level at $9,959.13, Bitcoin eased back to sub-$9,900 late in the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the current week gains. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV led the way with a 13.43% surge. EOS (+3.64%), Litecoin (+3.22%), and Tezos (+4.85%) also made solid gains on the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.66%), Cardano’s ADA (+0.67%), Ethereum (+0.07%), and Monero’s XMR (+1.56%) also ended the day in the green. Binance Coin (-1.00%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.75%), and Stellar’s Lumen (-0.94%) end the day in the red, however. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Tuesday low $254.52bn to an early Sunday high $286.16bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $285.90bn. Having fallen back from 66% levels, Bitcoin’s dominance slipped further back to sub-64% levels going into Sunday. More marked gains across the broader market pinned Bitcoin back on the day. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.8%. Trading volumes also picked up, rising to $146bn levels on Thursday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $134.90bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.98% to $10,073.0. A particularly bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally from an early morning low $9,871.1 to a high $10,109.0. Story continues Steering clear of the major support levels, Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,979.4 and second major resistance level at $10,081.6. Elsewhere, it was a sea of green across the crypto board. Bitcoin Cash SV and Binance Coin led the way early with gains of 8.30% and 6.56% respectively. Litecoin and Tezos trailed the pack early, with gains of just 0.73% and 0.37% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to break back through the second major resistance level at $10,081.6 to target $10,500 levels. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $10,109.0. Barring an extended rally through the day, Bitcoin would likely fall short of the third major resistance level at $10,344.60. In the event of another breakout, resistance at $10,500 would likely limit the upside on the day. Failure to move back through the second major resistance level could see Bitcoin give up the early gains. A fall back through the first major resistance level to sub-$9,820 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,716.4 into play. Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,900 on the day.

However, a sudden rush of buyers in the early hours of Sunday morning gave Bitcoin enough momentum to carry it across the $10k mark and cement a leading role in what has been bullish narrative over recent weeks. Despite the golden cross a few days ago, typical volatility took hold and planted the seed of doubt in many minds where the significance of reaching double figures is not lost. The 50 exponential moving average darted over the 200 EMA to the upside for the first time since April 2019, signalling a bull dominance that looked likely to materialise on Friday. A bearish fight repeatedly held the price down but, by 2am this morning, the portents of destiny were in positive mood as BTC began to climb unchecked from $9,970. By 3am, any bearish resistance appeared to have transformed into a welcoming committee with a full $100 rise within the hour. The scene for today\x92s noteworthy value was set days ago. Bitcoin moved 5% upwards on Wednesday as it looked to test an apparent $9,600 level of resistance with $10,000 within sight. May\x92s halving is clearly a driving force behind this latest rally which has seen Bitcoin spring from $6,400 to $10,000 in under seven weeks. Bitcoin\x92s block reward halving will see miners accrue just 6.25 per block rather than 12.5, creating increased scarcity and, therefore, higher demand for holding digital assets.

A close above $7,870 (Nov. 29 high) is now needed to invalidate the lower-highs set up and confirm a short-term bullish reversal. That looks likely, as one daily chart indicator is flashing a bullish divergence and Wednesdays engulfing candle signaled seller exhaustion. Bitcoin surged by over 10 percent on Wednesday the biggest single-day gain since Oct. 25, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index . Notably, prices had slumped to seven-month lows below $6,500 around lunchtime (UTC), but the breakdown was quickly undone and the cryptocurrency was trading above $7,400 before midnight. The rebound from multi-month lows is a tell-tale sign of seller exhaustion especially, as it erased the losses seen in the preceding eight days. Related: Bitcoin UTXOs in Loss at Record Highs Amid Price Sell-Off Wednesdays spike has neutralized the immediate bearish case. That said, a bullish reversal would be confirmed only if and when prices rise above the Nov. 29 high of $7,870. That would invalidate the most basic of all bearish patterns a lower-highs setup. With bitcoin currently trading at $7,170, the bull reversal is still $770 away. Daily chart Bitcoin has charted (price via Bitstamp) a series of lower highs (arrows) and lowers lows over the last five months. The last lower high at $7,870 was printed on Nov. 29 and is still intact. A UTC close above that level is needed to confirm a short-term bearish-to-bullish trend change, as noted above. Related: Bitcoin Drops Below Major Price Support for First Time Since May A move above that level shouldnt be ruled out, as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) has diverged in favor of the bulls. A bullish divergence occurs when an indicator prints higher lows, contradicting lower lows on price, and is considered an early warning of an impending corrective bounce. Additionally, Wednesdays big bullish engulfing candle is indicating seller exhaustion and would gain credence if prices find acceptance above $7,450 (the candles high) in the next 24 hours. That would further strengthen the case for a test of resistance at $7,870. Story continues Both patterns would be invalidated if prices drop below $6,428, although that looks unlikely at press time. Weekly chart The overall outlook would turn bullish if and when the falling channel on the weekly chart is breached to the higher side. Currently, the channel resistance is located at $8,463.

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 rallied by 2.77% on Sunday. Following on from a 0.73% gain on Saturday, Bitcoin ended the week up by 8.53% to $10,151.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rally from an early morning intraday low $9,871.1 to a mid-morning intraday high $10,165.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,979.4 and the second major resistance level at $10,081.6. A mid-afternoon pullback saw Bitcoin fall back through the major resistance levels before bouncing back. The late bounce back saw Bitcoin break back through the first and second major resistance levels to wrap up the day at $10,100 levels. Bitcoin steered well clear of the major support levels throughout the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the upward momentum. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish end to the week for the crypto majors. Tezos and Binance Coin led the way with rallies of 15.04% and 11.87% respectively. Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.15%), EOS (+5.22%), and Monero’s XMR (+8.63%) also made strong gains. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.79%), Cardano’s ADA (+3.36%), Ethereum (+2.44%), Litecoin (+0.51%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.92%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.38%), and Tron’s TRX (+1.13%) saw more modest gains. For the week, Binance Coin and Tezos led the way, with gains of 32.74% and 37.82% respectively. In the week, Tezos returned to the top 10 by market cap. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+19.80%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+26.6%), EOS (+18.38%), Ethereum (+21.56%), Monero’s XMR (+17.28%), Stellar’s Lumen (+15.30%), and Tron’s TRX (+15.55%) also made particularly strong gains. Cardano’s ADA (11.48%), Litecoin (+10.34%), and Ripple’s XRP (+12.30%) trailed the pack in the week. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Tuesday low $254.52bn to a Sunday high $289.97bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $290.50bn. Story continues Having fallen back from 66% levels, Bitcoin’s dominance slipped further back to sub-64% levels over the weekend. More marked gains across the broader market pinned Bitcoin back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.6%. Trading volumes were on the up, rising to $146bn levels on Thursday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $132.73bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.06% to $10,145.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,187.0 to a low $10,129.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.03%) and Monero’s XMR (-1.17%) led the way down. Binance Coin (-0.38%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-0.73%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.62%), EOS (-0.30%), Ethereum (-0.23%), Ripple’s XRP (-0.10%) and Tron’s TRX (-0.24%) also saw red. Litecoin (+0.17%), Stellar’s Lumen (+0.83%), and Tezos (+0.81%) bucked the trend early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through the morning high $10,187.0 to bring the first major resistance level at $10,253.63 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $10,200 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rally day, the first major resistance level would likely limit any upside on the day. In the event of another breakout, the second major resistance level at $10,356.27 and $10,500 levels could come into play. Failure to move back through the morning high $10,287.0 could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through the morning low $10,129.0 to sub-$10,062 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,959.73 into play. Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,900 on the day.

The move to the downside came after a tremendous rally that defied all odds by surging to above $10,180 \x96 rising by 12% in the past week. Numerous technical aspects of the chart are indicating the rally may continue into the rest of February, with the recent golden cross complementing yesterday\x92s confirmed higher high. The sell-off seems to be tied quite prominently to Bitcoin futures on the CME as the decline continued to $9,500 before bouncing back towards $10,000 . It\x92s worth noting that as the CME closes trading for the weekend a gap formed between $9,860 and $10,200. Gaps in traditional markets are often exploited and capitalised upon by traders as, more often than not, a gap soon gets filled following formation. However, now the gap on the CME has been filled there is little stopping Bitcoin from continuing its drive to the upside, as long as it keeps trading above the $9,620 level of support.

It’s the second industry’s motion in as many days to support Telegram’s fight against the SEC allegation it violated U.S. securities law by selling future tokens (called grams) for its TON blockchain to accredited investors in the U.S. On Tuesday, the Chamber of Digital Commercefiledits own amicus brief, supporting Telegram’s argument that “digital assets may be the subject of an investment contract without being a security.” The Chamber, however, did not explicitly ask the court to take either side in this litigation. Related:SEC Charges Blockchain Marketplace Opporty Over ‘Fraudulent’ $600,000 ICO TheBlockchain Association’s briefstrikes a more straightforward note, arguing Telegram made sufficient efforts to meet the SEC’s criteria, adding that the regulator’s court action could harm both Telegram’s investors and the market in general. “The Court should not block a long-planned, highly anticipated product launch by interfering with a contract between sophisticated private parties. Doing so would needlessly harm the investors that securities laws were designed to protect,” the association says in its brief. Repeating long-held concerns that blockchain and cryptocurrency companies have not received clear and unambiguous guidance from the SEC for years, the brief argues the agency’s litigation against Telegram makes the situation even more gray: “The SEC’s lawsuit also raises novel questions regarding whether companies are forbidden from raising funds from sophisticated U.S. investors, under well-established regulatory provisions, to build blockchain networks.” Related:Digital Chamber Asks Court to Draw Line Between Investment Contracts and Assets in Telegram Case The advocacy group cites other cases of blockchain startups successfully interacting with the regulator, namelyTurnKey JetandPocketful of Quarters, which both secured no-action letters from the SEC. Kik is also mentioned, a firm stillhopingfor a court trial on its famous case. “Engaging with the SEC is extremely costly” and doesn’t necessarily save companies from future actions, the brief argues. “Telegram discussed its plans with SEC staff for a year and a half, provided copious information and responded to limited feedback by adjusting the design of its transaction. Yet, at the end, the SEC has sued, and the SEC’s briefs thus far say nothing about the substance of those discussions,” the association says. Forcing Telegram to cancel the launch of TON and the token issuance will ultimately harm both innovators and investors who invested in grams, the brief continues: “It would frustrate the investors’ aims in entering into the Purchase Agreement, and would frustrate innovation by delaying the network launch.” The association concludes by asking the court to “reject the SEC’s arguments that the not-yet-in-existence Grams were securities at the time of the Purchase Agreements.” The first court hearing for the case is scheduled for February 18. • Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust Is Now Open to More Investors as SEC Reporting Company • SEC: Cash-Strapped Telegram Launched 2018 Token Sale to Pay for Servers... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Looking ahead, it plans to more fiat and cryptocurrencies trading options this year.', '2018 and 2019 could be described as years in which there was a redefinition of blockchain technology and to what uses it should be channelled to. The decline of the market in 2018 as well as the rollercoaster ride of 2019 gave room for real-life use cases for blockchain technology to come to the fore. So what does 2020 have in store for the blockchain? We can expect to see the following: 1. Greater Regulation A bill has been submitted to the US Congress seeking to provide a proper regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, with legal backing. Harnessing the full potential of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies is only possible when this industry is regulated just enough to root out the bad guys, but not too much as to stifle innovation. Many countries may perhaps be waiting to see what model of regulation the US brings to the table. Successful deployment of a regulatory framework in the US could spur a slew of similar actions across the globe. 2. Greater Institutional Footprint If blockchain assets and other digital currencies are brought into regulation in the US , this may finally give the confidence to other institutional players to bring money into the market, knowing that they have a cover for their humongous investments. Enterprise adoption is going to increase and we will see further deepening of the cryptocurrency market as well as adoption of more real life use cases for blockchain projects. 3. The Death of More ICOs of Yesteryears Many more of the much-hyped ICOs of 2017 and 2018 that were on one form of life support or another may finally be killed off this year as disillusioned investors jettison whatever they can of their battered holdings in order to recover some of their investment. Many of those ICOs were simply riding the moving horse. With that horse starting to tire, it became aware of all the deadweight and started to throw them off its back. This is exactly what has happened to all the deadbeat ICOs which had no real product, no value to add, but only served as a way for the founders to make money off gullible people who could not predict what would happen down the road. 4. More Funding for Viable Blockchain Projects Ripple was able to raise an additional $200m in December 2019 despite the underwhelming performance of its token in the market. The reason is simple: it has a working product which is gathering loads of attention from the relevant market and more players in that sector are signing up. Projects which have great use case scenarios will keep attracting more funding and more clientele. It will only be a matter of time before the boys are separated from the men. Story continues 5. Bitcoin to Continue Its Market Domination Bitcoin looks good to continue its dominance in the cryptocurrency market. According to TradingBeasts cryptocurrency guide for novice traders, it still commands the market capitalization, the trading volumes and market interest all across the world to maintain this position. Mention some other cryptocurrency in some parts of the world and many would draw blank; mention Bitcoin and the lights come on. We expect this to continue in 2020. This will be more pronounced in countries whose national currencies would struggle in the face of economic turmoil. In these areas, Bitcoin would become the new safe haven asset, which only serves to continue Bitcoin’s market domination. 6. Launch of a Few National Cryptocurrencies Some countries are in the stage of conceptualization, or are already in advanced stages of development of their national cryptocurrencies. Examples of countries that are considering launching digital versions of their national currencies include Switzerland and China, although the latter continues to keep mum over such a development. 2020 may also see more countries opening discussions and consultations to kickstart the digitalization of their national countries. However, these discussions seem to be well pronounced in Europe, less so in Asia and virtually non-existent in Africa and Latin America. Will the lagging countries be open to the idea? 2020 will tell. 7. The Make or Break Year for Libra Libra is yet to take off the blocks and already the project has started to face hitches with stiff opposition from the US, France and a few other countries. Some of its consort partners have also pulled out of the project. 2020 will determine if this project will take off or if Mark Zuckerberg and his team will decide to either kill off the project or replace it with something that is more agreeable to regulators and finance ministers. So these are the events we think will shape the blockchain industry in 2020.

The decline of the market in 2018 as well as the rollercoaster ride of 2019 gave room for real-life use cases for blockchain technology to come to the fore.\nSo what does 2020 have in store for the blockchain? We can expect to see the following:\nA bill has been submitted to the US Congress seeking to provide a proper regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, with legal backing. Harnessing the full potential of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies is only possible when this industry is regulated just enough to root out the bad guys, but not too much as to stifle innovation.\nMany countries may perhaps be waiting to see what model of regulation the US brings to the table. Successful deployment of a regulatory framework in the US could spur a slew of similar actions across the globe.\nIf blockchain assets and other digital currencies arebrought into regulation in the US, this may finally give the confidence to other institutional players to bring money into the market, knowing that they have a cover for their humongous investments. Enterprise adoption is going to increase and we will see further deepening of the cryptocurrency market as well as adoption of more real life use cases for blockchain projects.\nMany more of the much-hyped ICOs of 2017 and 2018 that were on one form of life support or another may finally be killed off this year as disillusioned investors jettison whatever they can of their battered holdings in order to recover some of their investment. Many of those ICOs were simply riding the moving horse. With that horse starting to tire, it became aware of all the deadweight and started to throw them off its back. This is exactly what has happened to all the deadbeat ICOs which had no real product, no value to add, but only served as a way for the founders to make money off gullible people who could not predict what would happen down the road.\nRipple was able to raise an additional $200m in December 2019 despite the underwhelming performance of its token in the market. The reason is simple: it has a working product which is gathering loads of attention from the relevant market and more players in that sector are signing up. Projects which have great use case scenarios will keep attracting more funding and more clientele. It will only be a matter of time before the boys are separated from the men.\nBitcoinlooks good to continue its dominance in the cryptocurrency market.

As he’s highlighted on the campaign trail and debate stage, Americans could do a lot with $1,000 every month. You could invest in a side business, save up for a home, or if you’re like millions of Americans with student loans, you could use it to pay down student debt. But when it comes to Yang’s cornerstone $1,000 a month “freedom dividend” as part of an answer to the problem of nearly $1.7 trillion dollars in outstanding student loan debt that Americans are increasingly struggling to pay back, former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson told Yahoo Finance that it alone might not be enough. Williamson, who suspended her campaign for the Democratic nomination in January, noted on Yahoo Finance’s YFi PM that while she previously and still currently supports the idea of a universal basic income, she believes student loan forgiveness would be a more worthwhile economic stimulus to pursue. “Even though I did in my campaign and I still do support UBI, it’s not the second coming of Christ,” she said, referring to universal base income. “It’s not going to fix everything, and I’m not in support of ‘UBI instead of everything else.’ Many of these issues still need to be dealt with.” To be fair, Yang’s campaign has proposed additional fixes specifically for the growing problem of student loans, including making it easier to discharge educational debt in bankruptcy. The campaign has also said it wouldexplore a blanket partial reduction in the principal of school loans, particularly for recent graduates with the largest debt levels. Williamson, who supported Yang at an event on the campaign trail in Iowa, said backing a blanket elimination of student loans would do more to stimulate the economy than even the Trump tax cuts. “You want to stimulate the economy? I’ll tell you what you do, get rid of this college loan debt,” she said. When reached for comment, Yang’s national press secretary S.Y. Lee thanked Williamson for her support of universal basic income and “her support of the Freedom Dividend, and her voice for peace in a world where strife is abounds,” he wrote. “We look forward to her continued advocacy.” Zack Guzman is the host ofYFi PMas well as a senior writer and on-air reporter covering entrepreneurship, cannabis, startups, and breaking news at Yahoo Finance.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $10,124.13 to visit $10,300 levels for the 1 st time since September. A late pullback saw Bitcoin fall back to $10,190 levels before wrapping up the day at $10,200 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, however, in spite of the upward trend. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the crypto majors. Tezos led the way, rallying by 11.47%. Cardano’s ADA (+7.57%), EOS (+7.12%), Ethereum (+6.78%), and Monero’s XMR (+6.37%) also made solid gains. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+4.02%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.72%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+4.94%) weren’t far behind. Binance Coin (+2.50%), Litecoin (+3.80%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.75%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.1%) trailed the pack on the day. Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a Tuesday low $279.65bn before rising to an early Wednesday high $296.27. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $296.27bn. Bitcoin’s dominance slipped further back through the start of the week to 63.1% at the time of writing. Trading volumes also picked up, rising to $145bn levels on Monday. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $138.83bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.2% to $10,268.0. A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise from an early morning low $10,246.0 to a high $10.314.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin was down by 0.38% to buck the trend early on. It was a bullish start for the rest of the pack, with Ethereum up by 2.15% to lead the way. Stellar’s Lumen (+1.16%) and Bitcoin Cash SV (+1.01%) also found strong support early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $10,300 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $10,468.67 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break through to $10,400 levels. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, resistance at $10,400 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin would eye a breakout from $10,500 levels before any pullback. Failure to move back through to $10,300 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse A fall back through the morning low $10,246 to sub-$10,095 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,872.67 into play. Barring a crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,800 levels on the day.

That’s a significant drop from the growth rates of 4.67 and 7.08 percent, recorded on Jan. 28 and 14, respectively.\nRelated:North Korea Is Expanding Its Monero Mining Operations, Says Report\nBitcoin is designed for the difficulty to adjust roughly every two weeks, depending on the amount of computing power connected to the network. When more miners join the race to earn newly created bitcoin, the difficulty rises; when miners drop out, the measure eases.\nBefore the slowdown, miners were bracing for a new reality: their industry was about to become fundamentally less profitable. In May, mining rewards are expected to be cut in half, to around 6.25 bitcoin ($64,000 at current prices) per block, every 10 minutes or so. This would be the third so-called halving in bitcoin’s history and could result in operating costs exceeding revenue at miners.\n“Many miners have been phasing out older mining machines and buying new and more powerful models as we get closer to the halving,” said Jason Wu, the co-founder and CEO of crypto lending startup DeFiner. For example, mining farm tenants have started to replace old machines such as Bitmain’s AntMiner S7 and S9 since the second half of 2019, Wu said.\n“The outbreak may have delayed the transition and contributed to the slow growth in mining difficulty,” Wu said.\nRelated:Childhood Friends Battle Over Ownership of North America’s Largest Bitcoin Mine\nMiners now keep running the remaining old machines since a high bitcoin price at the moment (above $10,000 since the weekend) keeps such operations profitable, while waiting for new models to be delivered, according to Wu.\nAside from the availability of new equipment, the virus has affected some miners in a more direct way.\n“While most mining farms remain open during the Chinese New Year, there have been incidents where mining farms are shut by local governments due to the outbreak,” said Aries Wang, co-founder and CEO of crypto exchange Bibox.\nOne mining farm owned by mining pool BTC.top’s CEO Zhuoer Jiang was shut down by the local government in an unnamed area in China, Jiangsaidon Feb. 4 via the social media network Weibo.\nAmong the largest c Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [7124.67, 7152.30, 6932.48, 6640.52, 7276.80, 7202.84, 7218.82, 7191.16, 7511.59, 7355.63, 7322.53, 7275.16, 7238.97, 7290.09, 7317.99, 7422.65, 7293.00, 7193.60, 7200.17, 6985.47, 7344.88, 7410.66, 7411.32, 7769.22, 8163.69, 8079.86, 7879.07, 8166.55, 8037.54, 8192.49, 8144.19, 8827.76, 8807.01, 8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

CoinDesk KoreareportedSunday that Vidente, the largest shareholder of Bithumb Holdings, which runs Bithumb Korea, confirmed the withheld amount in a notice and said the tax will be imposed on its foreign customers. However, that may not actually happen. This is the first time the country’s taxation agency has imposed tax on gains from cryptocurrency transactions, the report said. Related:South Korean Central Bank to Organize a CBDC Task Force “Bithumb Korea is planning to take legal action against the tax claim so the final payment can be adjusted in the future,” the notice said, according to areportby Korea JoongAng Daily on Monday. The amount of tax was calculated based on the rate for miscellaneous income, i.e. irregular income like lottery gains, Korea Joongang Daily wrote. The tax is collected at an annualized rate of 22 percent, based on the amount of foreign withdrawals from Bithumb. It’s unclear what consequences the action will have for Bithumb’s clients or the exchange itself. Bithumb hasn’t commented on the situation by press time. According to the report, while the tax office’s first target is foreign customers trading cryptocurrency on the Bithumb exchange, withholding tax is paid to the government by the party that pays money in a transaction, in this case Bithumb, rather than the customers. “Bithumb can pay 80.3 billion won and [theoretically] afterwards collect the amount from its foreign clients, but practically it’s impossible,” Kim Woo-cheol, a University of Seoul professor of taxation, said in the report. Related:Crypto Custodians Grapple With Germany’s New Rules Korea Joongang Daily cites an anonymous source at the exchange explaining that although the Korean government banned foreigners from opening accounts on crypto exchanges in December 2017, they still used the country’s trading platforms. “So were transactions using fake names. Even for the exchanges, it’s difficult to know who the investors actually are and how much their trading profits are. It’s questionable what the taxation was based on,” the source said. Korea’s Income Tax Act currently does not recognize cryptocurrency transactions as taxable events and there are no clear rules about taxing crypto in the country at this point. Earlier in December, the country’s Ministry of Economy and Financesaidit would introduce specific regulations for taxing crypto in the coming year. In another step towards regulating the industry, Korea’s central bank published areportsaying it will hire experts to study distributed ledgers, cryptocurrencies and CBDCs (central bank-backed cryptocurrencies). In 2018, South Koreabannedanonymous crypto trading. According to the Special Financial Transactions Information Act, which is under works in the country’s National Assembly, crypto exchanges will have to register with the Financial Services Commission (FSC), and failure to do so can result in punishment up to five years in prison. • Bomb Threats Demanding Bitcoin Force Evacuations Across Russia • Ex-Kraken Employee Alleges ‘Unethical and Illegal Tactics’ in Discrimination Lawsuit... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/dcman00000', 'Discussion thread, get in here and speak your mind', 27, '2020-02-12 03:11', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitstatistssay/comments/f2jm9h/discussion_thread_get_in_here_and_speak_your_mind/', 'Hey, first thing is first\n\nJoin us in our subreddit discord [here](https://discordapp.com/invite/dzxvwGg)\n\n\nWe\'re pretty lax in terms of content, we talk politics sometimes, but also just hang out and chat.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $10,260 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $10,456.0 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $10,400 levels. Barring another broad-based crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $10,456.0 would likely leave Bitcoin short of $10,500 levels. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin would eye a breakout from the second major resistance level at $10,690.0. Failure to move back through to $10,400 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through to sub-$10,100 levels would bring the first major support level at $10,023.0 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$10,000 levels on the day.

Only a handful of cold storage crypto policies have been written at this time; high-net-worth individuals are the main driver for the business. Lloyd’s of London has set up a crypto subgroup within its Product Innovation Facility, which includes mega-broker Marsh. Marsh says it has a hot wallet crime cover product in the pipeline. An insurance company saying it hopes to pay a sizable claim sounds like a turkey looking forward to Christmas. But that’s exactly what James Croome, fine art and specie underwriter at Arch Insurance International, says he wants his firm to do. Just to show that it can. Related: Bitcoin Hits New 2020 High Above $8,400 After Iranian Missile Attack Arch is one of the few underwriters willing to insure cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians against the theft or loss of customer funds. London-based Arch Insurance International, which works with a number of big-name brokers offering crypto cover, has yet to pay out for any losses in this relatively new market. If someone does manage to pull off a heist of cryptographic keys kept offline in cold storage, Arch will get a chance to demonstrate it’s good for the money, said Croome, who works out of London. “I would like there to be a containable but sizable loss,” he said. “Because that would give evidence to our potential clients as to the service we can provide, the speed at which we will pay the claims and remind people who have bought coverage that it does work appropriately.” Insurers have years of experience in covering specialized assets in the traditional world, whether that’s fine art or the regulatory requirements to protect financial services firms. But they feel less secure with crypto because there is a shortage of data for firms to model policy rates. Related: Equilibrium’s Stablecoin Now Has $17.5M in Insurance That Pays Out Automatically Story continues In response to this, Croome helped create a consortium, including mega-broker Marsh and global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, to offer cold storage cover for crypto assets. Released in September , Blue Vault, which is solely owned by Arch, provides limits of up to $150 million and covers the loss of digital assets due to internal and external theft (via direct access to the storage media as opposed to remote hacking attacks) and including employee collusion. Blue Vault also covers physical damage or destruction of private keys from fires, floods, earthquakes and other catastrophic events. Ankur Kacker, vice president and specie expert on Marsh’s Digital Asset Risk Transfer (DART) team, said: “We have placed four policies for Blue Vault as of now, all in the last seven months.” Marsh, the world’s largest insurance broker, recently announced a deal with Ledger Vault , the institution-focused arm of Ledger, the well-known hardware wallet provider for $150 million cold storage cover; Marsh is working in a similar way with crypto custodian KNOX. Pet peeves Arch chose to work with law firm Norton Rose Fulbright on the crypto policy because it wanted precise policy wording. Ambiguous language is a pet peeve of Croome’s. “My biggest annoyance with the specie market is the existence of ambiguous wordings, which is why I chose to work with a legal firm with a track record in this space,” he said. Norton Rose Fulbright has given presentations in New York, Bermuda and to the London Market to help “educate insurance markets and develop set the market and standards for cold storage of these assets,” said Nicholas Berry, a partner at the law firm. The firm also helped Lloyd’s of London with its market guidance on underwriting digital assets. Norton Rose Fulbright enlisted the help of Peter McBurney, Professor of Computer Science, King’s College London and a consultant with the law firm, to spell out technical aspects of key management and crypto storage and create appropriate policy wording. This is an instance where the London Market has led other international markets, said Berry. “Going back to 2018, there has been a mismatch between supply in terms of underwriting capacity and demand for those wanting cold storage or even hot crime-type cover. Some of the big brokers have been pushing the supply side to provide more cover in terms of higher limits, wider cover,” he said. Crypto insurance is widely seen as a prerequisite for greater institutional involvement in the market. But Croome is wary of companies offering insurance policies as a marketing ploy. “We tend not to look at insureds that are looking for a chicken-egg scenario. They feel they don’t have a current revenue stream but are hoping the existence of insurance will help speed up the point at which assets come into custody and therefore increase their revenue,” he said. As well as Marsh, Arch has been working with Aon, the number two broker by size. Other brokers known to be exploring crypto include Arthur J. Gallagher and Paragon. But Croome says that for now he is shying away from really broadening out his broker network for crypto. “I think I will keep to the ones that have shown comprehension of that which we like. They understand that and therefore they can filter out the sort of things we seek to avoid,” said Croome. Virgin territory Insurance companies like Arch bring in third party specialists to examine physical vault security and do the same to understand and communicate the risks around the storage of crypto. “I wouldn’t consider myself capable of valuing a Dutch master [painting], knowing if it was genuine or a fake.That’s not my job,” said Croome. Peter McBurney, who divides his time between academia and advising Norton Rose Fulbright’s clients on technology matters, does the equivalent of physical vault checking for the IT system that would create and store the private keys. McBurney estimates there are still reasonably few policies written in London covering crypto cold storage, and the same in New York, although this number is increasing. “It’s still very early days, it is almost virgin territory.” McBurney said ultra-high net worth individuals or hedge funds who already have relationships with custodians for storage of fine art or gold bullion are driving the market for crypto insurance. “They are going to their existing physical custodians and saying, ‘Can you also store our private keys?’ So the custodians are going to insurers and saying, ‘Can you insure us to store these private keys?’ and that’s where a lot of the business has originated. It’s customer-driven from the individuals and the hedge funds who have large crypto holdings,” he said. Lloyd’s of London, the centuries-old insurance market, has realized there are new revenue streams to be had with crypto. Its underwriters have launched the Product Innovation Facility , which spans some 24 markets and has over $100 million of capacity. The facility includes a crypto subgroup, where Marsh has a representative. A spokesman for Lloyd’s said it’s too early for any on-record comment from the crypto subcommittee at this time. Marsh also did not comment on the group’s purview. The group will likely be looking beyond cold storage to include crime bond markets; E&O (Errors and Omissions) insurance; D&O (Directors and Officers) and a general smorgasbord of potential product offerings to the digital assets world, according to sources close to the Lloyd’s market. Hot and cold The risk relating to crypto held on exchanges and in wallets connected to the internet is a very different animal from vaulted cold storage. To deal with losses from third-party hacks, most of the large crypto exchanges simply self-insure, holding large amounts of bitcoin locked up for such occasions. Having battled it out in the market for some years, people like Binance chief “CZ” Changpeng Zhao or Kraken CEO Jesse Powell see insurance for hot wallets as a fundamentally flawed concept. Arch is not looking to enter the hot wallet space any time soon. However, Croome said he can see ways the crime market could interplay with the specie world. “We will often take an excess layer, the larger chunk of capacity above the crime policy, to very high exposures but on a much tighter coverage.

As reported by Coin Rivet in yesterday’s market analysis , the $8,400 level is the same point at which price was rejected on numerous occasions throughout September. The daily candle also closed back below the 200 exponential moving average (EMA), which could suggest that more downside price action is to come over the next week. The first hurdle for Bitcoin is to break past the $7,900 level once again after the 7.5% decline over the past 48 hours saw price slump back to $7,850. A further sell-off from the current level will see Bitcoin fall back towards the $7,400 level of support, which was a notable point of resistance over December. The daily relative strength index has also experienced a brutal rejection from the bullish control zone, dropping from 68 to 60 during the recent downturn in price. For Bitcoin to play out the predicted bullish reversal, it needs to close daily candles above $8,400 with an aim at trading towards the $8,800 level of resistance. However, in light of the recent descent, it seems more likely that Bitcoin will continue to drop back to where it was trading throughout December, just above the $7,000 mark.

Besides, there were very mild reaction (yet) to the crash of a passenger plane near Tehran. US and Canadian politicians say it possibly done by mistake, i.e. it may not have entailed additional toughening against Iran. TheNasdaq index passed the 9000 markthis morning, an almost 10% increase over a month. Oil returned to $65 per barrel of Brent, compared to levels above $70.50 at the peak of fears on Wednesday. Gold, which jumped above $1600 in the middle of the week, traded at $1548, close to its highest levels since 2013. Geopolitics got loud at the beginning of the year, but today it should give way to macroeconomic news as US employment data is published. Robust November data has removed much of the fear that the world’s largest economy is slowing down. December data is expected to show growth by 150K-160K, which looks good after a jump of 266K a month earlier. Another pleasant surprise for the markets from macrostatistics may finally remove all the obstacles for the growth of stock markets. A sharp deterioration in the data may alert the markets, returning doubts about the economy’s ability to record-breaking 11th consecutive year. For the dollar, the situation looks more complicated. Classically, weak data can cause pressure on the dollar, as it will indicate a softer tone of monetary policy in the coming months. Otherwise, a sharp US growth cooling may be perceived as a warning signal for the global economy. If the demand for safe assets on the world markets returns, the dollar may well get additional demand, developing the growth trend since the beginning of the year. In this case, an important milestone may be the area of Christmas highs at 97.40 for the USD index, as well as the area of 1.1060 for EURUSD and 1.29 for GBPUSD.

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin miner maker MicroBT has rapidly expanded market share by selling over half a million units in 2019, chipping away at rival Bitmain’s dominance.\nMicroBT sold about 600,000 units of its flagship WhatsMiner M20 series last year, Vincent Zhang, sales head of the Shenzhen-based company, said in an online panel hosted by Chinese mining pool Poolin on Thursday in a WeChat group.\nThese products generate a computing power of about 60 terahashes per second (TH/s) on average, he said. That means the newly delivered 600,000 units may have contributed over 30 exahashes (EH/s) of hashing power to the bitcoin network in 2019.

Safe havens like gold, Japanese yen, and Swiss franc retreated aftersurging earlier in the weekas traders looked to secure their investments. Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), too suffered marketwide losses on Thursday. What Happened President Donald Trump, in his Wednesday address, said that the U.S.wants to pursue de-escalationof the situation. The Trump Administration will move for economic sanctions instead of further military action, he suggested. “The U.S. is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it,” the president said, adding that Iran too appeared to be “standing down.” Trump was speaking in the aftermath ofIran’s strikes at Iraqi airbasesthat hosted American troops. No casualties were reported from the incident. Irani leaders, too, have said that the country will not pursue further escalation in the absence of American provocation. Iran’s ambassador to the United Nationstold the blocthat it doesn’t seek “escalation or war,” and that its strikes were a “measured and proportionate military response.” Some analysts are doubting whether this will indeed be the end of Iran’s revenge for killing Soleimani, who was often described as Iran’s second most powerful person after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, The Nikkei Asian Review reported. The experts polled by The Nikkei noted that Iranian hackers are notorious for cyber attacks, and more such attacks could follow as revenge for Soleimani’s death. Nevertheless, fears of immediate armed conflicts seem to have eased.

Today's Key News: ['(Bloomberg) -- Binance Holdings Ltd., one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency-trading platforms, has made its first foray into business services by lending its technology and liquidity to those who want to start their own exchanges. The Malta-based crypto behemoth announced its cloud operation to help business clients and partners set up crypto exchanges using Binance’s tech infrastructure, ranging from matching engines to risk controls and data security systems, according to a company statement. Tech giants like Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc. have over the years evolved beyond their core consumer-facing services and become some of the world’s biggest cloud providers -- and Binance envisions the same type of success in crypto. Binance Cloud will overtake the company’s main exchange to become its biggest source of revenue in five years, co-founder and CEO “CZ” Zhao Changpeng estimates. “Theoretically speaking, we can let anyone in the world create their own exchanges, and the demand is huge,” the 43-year-old coder-turned-entrepreneur said in an interview. “Even during the crypto winter of 2018 and 2019, hundreds of new exchanges popped up every day.” The cloud division -- which started just three months ago and now has nearly 20 people -- complements Binance’s strategy of attracting fiat money. Like its peers, Binance makes money mostly via transaction fees on its trading platforms, which fluctuate wildly with crypto prices. The shift into enterprise-oriented businesses could also help the startup unlock a more steady revenue stream. Binance started off in 2017 as a crypto-to-crypto trading platform, and gained momentum quickly by handling only tokens like Bitcoin and Ether, which allowed it to avoid dealing with banks and government watchdogs. Now a major player, Zhao’s firm is working to shake off its reputation as a regulatory arbitrageur: It has set up regulatory-compliant fiat exchanges in jurisdictions like Singapore and Jersey as it seeks to appeal to a much larger user base that hasn’t bought digital money yet. Story continues Binance Applied for Singapore’s New Crypto License, CEO Says And this isn’t Zhao’s first crack at the cloud business. Before Binance, he was the founder of a Shanghai-based startup called BijieTech specializing in outsourcing tech solutions for crypto exchange operators. Zhao said Binance would favor fiat exchanges as its cloud clients, especially those that target regions or communities where the company doesn’t yet have a strong foothold. Ideally they would also have “good compliance status, relationships, and even strong influence with regulators,” he said. Competition is still nascent in cloud services for crypto exchanges. Binance rival Huobi rolled out its cloud operation in 2018 and has signed up partners including Russia’s VEB Bank and Taiwan’s Chi Fu Group, according to its website. Binance will announce the first fiat exchange powered by its cloud service in the coming weeks, while it has confirmed four other clients in the lineup, Zhao said, without sharing specifics.

Despite the fact that a number of top altcoins have rallied against their respective BTC trading pairs today, Bitcoin Cash has struggled to make a gain. At the time of writing it was trading at around $391, six percent lower than the crucial level of support turned resistance at $418. The daily 22 exponential moving average (EMA) is now ticking to the downside which suggests that momentum in the short term is driving price towards the $358 level of support. A break below the daily 55 EMA and the $357 level of support would undoubtedly cause continuation to the downside as cryptocurrency bulls put the champagne on ice. However, much of it depends on the upcoming direction of Bitcoin, which will undergo a block reward halving in May. The block reward halving is considered a key event in the cycle of Bitcoin bull and bear markets as it theoretically dries up supply, thus causing a natural increase in price. Breaking above $500 would mark a fairly substantial and historic moment for Bitcoin Cash, which has failed to trade above that level since November 2018. Key price targets fn a breakout comes into fruition would be at $560 and $644 with another level at $855.

A variety of tactics are used by hackers and their methods are improving every day. The most common strategies adopted by scammers include financial pyramid schemes, exchanges targeting exit scams, fake web and hardware wallets, and even Ponzi schemes. In order to better understand how hackers successfully steal your cryptocurrency , I will take an in-depth look at each method using real-life examples. Hopefully, by understanding how hackers operate and what red flags to look out for, youll be better prepared to fend them off and successfully protect your coins. In this article, Ill discuss Ponzi schemes, financial pyramid schemes, and fake web and hardware wallets. Ponzi schemes According to Investopedia , Ponzi schemes (or scams) are based on fraudulent investment management services. Investors typically contribute money to the portfolio manager who promises them a high return. Afterwards, when those investors want their money back, they are paid out with the incoming funds contributed by later investors. The person organising this type of fraud is in charge of controlling the entire operation they merely transfer funds from one client to another and forgo any real investment activities. One of the biggest Ponzi schemes in crypto one that currently keeps adding selling pressure to Bitcoin is the Plus Token scam. Plus Token was a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme disguised as a high-yield investment program. Platform administrators closed down the operation in June 2019 after withdrawing over $3 billion in stolen cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EOS. A report by Chainalysis, a US-based blockchain analysis company, claims Plus Token was one of the largest Ponzi schemes ever and was potentially responsible for the 2019 downturn in BTC price. Story continues The report claims that there are still at least 20,000 BTC and 790,000 ETH missing which could be dumped on the market at any time. Financial pyramid schemes A financial pyramid scheme is structured so that the initial schemer must recruit other investors who will continue to recruit other investors, and those investors will then continue to recruit additional investors, and so on. There will be an incentive that is presented as an investment opportunity, such as the right to sell a particular product or high earnings per recruit. Each investor pays the person who recruited them and so on. The recipient must share the proceeds with those in the higher levels of the pyramid structure. One key difference is that pyramid schemes are harder to prove than Ponzi schemes. They are also better protected because the legal teams behind corporations are much more powerful than those protecting an individual. Just recently in Brazil , a group called Bitcoin Banco (Bitcoin Bank) is alleged to have conducted a million dollar exit scam . The group was in charge of a great deal of exchanges in the country and promised set returns to investors who traded the exchange currency, Negociecoins. However, according to analysts, This profit did not exist because the company needs investor money to produce order book orders. Fake wallets One of the most common mistakes by junior cryptocurrency users is to fall prey to fake cryptocurrency web wallets and hardware wallets. Since some users trust Google and other search engines to look up websites, its quite easy to click on the wrong website. To avoid making this mistake, always check the website youre accessing is the real one. There are loads of fake URLs and GitHub repositories with the sole purpose of stealing your precious cryptocurrency. A simple solution is to save websites you visit often, like web wallets and exchanges, into your browser favourites list. That way, it will be near impossible to fall prey to fake URL hacks. Conclusion Before making any decisions about trading your cryptocurrency or investing in a new coin, make sure you complete thorough research. Keep on top of the latest news and trends as reports of scams begin to increase. Most of all, dont forget to apply everyday digital best practices to your activity. Cryptocurrency scams and vulnerabilities will continue to evolve as the industry grows and its your responsibility to stay protected. Safe trades!

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 rallied by 4.86% on Tuesday. Reversing a 2.19% decline from Monday, Bitcoin ended the day at $10,184.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $9,637.9 before finding support. Steering clear of the first major support level at $9,483.27, Bitcoin rallied to a late intraday high $10,275.0. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $9,950.97 and the second major resistance level at $10,193.93. It was a choppy end to the day, however. Bitcoin fell back through the second major support level to limit the upside on the day. Holding on to $10,000 levels was key for the week ahead, however. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin failing to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the crypto majors. Tezos (+8.25%), Litecoin (+5.41%), Ethereum (+5.63%), and EOS (+5.25%) led the way on the day. Binance Coin (+2.68%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.71%), Cardano’s ADA (+4.22%), Monero’s XMR (+4.90%), Ripple’s XRP (+3.77%), Stellar’s Lumen (+4.42%), and Tron’s TRX (+3.48%) also made strong gains. Bitcoin Cash SV bucked the trend on the day, falling by 0.75%. Through the start of the week, the crypto total market cap fell to a low $273.33bn before hitting a Tuesday high $297.09bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $295.57bn. Bitcoin’s dominance continued to sit at sub-63% levels in the early part of the week. Bitcoin saw relatively modest gains after taking a hit on Monday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 62.4%. Trading volumes eased back from $196bn levels seen on Monday to sub-$180bn levels on Tuesday. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $173.77bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.34% to $10,149.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $10,199.0 to a low $10,134.0. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day, with Bitcoin Cash SV rising by 0.13% to buck the trend once more. With the rest of the pack in the red, Bitcoin Cash ABC, Tezos and Tron’s TRX led the way down, with losses of 1.57, 0.92%, and 0.81% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $10,200 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $10,426.70 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back out from Tuesday’s high $10,275. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $10,200 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. In the event of another breakout, $10,500 levels could come back into play before any pullback. We would expect Bitcoin to fall well short of the second major support level at $10,669.4, however. Failure to move through to $10,200 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall through to sub-$10,030 levels would bring the first major support level at $9,789.6 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,700 levels on the day.

He is also the cofounder of Coin Metrics, a blockchain analytics startup. On May 9, 2019, Representative Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), member of the House Financial Services Committee, made an impassioned speech about cryptocurrency. In his speech, the mask typically worn by policymakers slipped: his words betrayed the threat cryptocurrencies pose to the state. Sherman said: Related: Financial Services: The Coming Cataclysm “An awful lot of our international power comes from the fact that the dollar is the standard unit of international finance and transactions. Clearing through the N.Y. Fed is critical for major oil and other transactions, and it is the announced purpose of the supporters of cryptocurrency to take that power away from us, to put us in a position where the most significant sanctions we have on Iran, for example, would become irrelevant.” But does cryptocurrency really pose a threat to America’s monetary dominance? I’d like to propose an alternative. Far from compromising the dollar’s mighty advantage internationally, cryptocurrency, and the infrastructure built to support it, may well entrench its position. To assess this possibility, one must understand cases where the dollar has already infiltrated foreign countries. This is commonly called “dollarization.” Dollarization refers to the process of adopting a foreign currency (typically but, confusingly, not always, the U.S. dollar) in lieu of a local sovereign currency. It happens both in an informal, bottom-up way and a top-down manner, when the local central bank capitulates and adopts the dollar as legal tender. The bottom-up model occurs in a spontaneous manner as citizens flee a depreciating local currency and adopt the dollar, even when dollar holdings might be criminalized or where capital controls exist. In some cases, this kicks off a feedback loop, further depreciating the local currency and forcing the hand of the central bank which capitulates and officially adopts the dollar standard. The monetary economist Lawrence White calls this dolarización popular .

Usually, I\'m late to the meme stock party and miss out on profits. So, I thought to myself "If I can think of the similarities between these companies, maybe I can beat the crowd and make some real r/wsb front page worthy shit."^^hopefully ^^as ^^gains\n \nThe Baseline Stock\n\nAs my first stock of analysis, of course, I took the latest meme stock $SPCE, Virgin Galactic. Founder Richard Branson is a multi-billionaire with the proper financial backings to make a company huge. But, I figured that is not enough drive for even the newest of new investors to buy calls/shares in the masses and the stock price to soar. With a quick background check, you could find that Branson tried sending tourists to space back in 2008. [\\[ref\\]](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7529978.stm) He even said he had over 250 people prepaid for $200,000 each. If that happened today, the stock would have probably rocketed to another dimension. \n \nEven better, the market $SPCE is entering isn\'t controlled by a single company, leaving room for huge growth and a market with gigantic potential. Fox already reported this hype that the space market is projected to reach upwards of $1 trillion. This was even before Virgin Galactic took off in December, albeit this market cap projection included weather, Wi-Fi, shipping and logistics, television and radio rely on satellite-based services. [\\[ref\\]](https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/space-trillion-dollar-economy) This could be a factor.\n \nPast Trends Analysis\n\nIt seems, especially nowadays, hype drives certain stocks through the roof. Even the slight thought of a company having a massive market cap leads to a huge response from investors. No news becomes good news for the company and good news creates huge share volumes. Most recently, $SPCE and $TSLA bulled their way to daily gains at unimaginable rates without much concrete news. Some meme stocks mentioned here do well ($AMD, $MSFT), those <10% daily gains have some premise, having solid financials to back it up. But, they do not demonstrate extreme leaps like $SPCE who hasn\'t even made a penny (since I\'m Canadian, I should say a Nickel instead). To strengthen my original reasoning, I needed to think of other stocks that had this situation. Then, it all started to come together...\n\n* $SPCE - Sub-orbital tourism/travel. [+320% in 2 1/2 months](https://imgur.com/a/2ODk0X7)\n* $TSLA - The BEV vehicle with a bonus of technology and renewable energy market? Close enough of a guess, but who cares because it went [+270% in 4 months](https://imgur.com/a/RMhHzCa)\n* $ACB^^RIP - Legal weed hype. Canada legalizing marijuana. [+376% in just over 2 months](https://imgur.com/a/gBILaZd)\n* $BYND - Vegetarian "meat" market. Blew up [+255% in merely 2 1/2 months](https://imgur.com/a/dit7tmY)\n* $NFLX - Online mass video streaming market. [+114% in 6 months] (https://imgur.com/a/gkhjCLT) \n* Though this is not a stock, Bitcoin investments when it was seemingly the first kind of major form of cryptocurrency was insane. [+2,390% in 1 year.](https://imgur.com/a/7yU03hK) I\'d call this an outlier but I don\'t know anything about the market so maybe another will happen. \n\nThis is a list of stocks I can think of, irrelevant of their revenue, that showed the best of best short term gains and all had that similarity. \n\nAhead of the Party\n\nIf I want to get ahead of these parties I need to pick the $BYND or the $SPCE @ $8 before it runs up a 89.9° incline. Finding a company that has the potential to completely enter and control a market, without any actual revenue history. That\'s where this prediction comes in: $DEAC. \n \nThe market: Major sports betting on the US market is not yet available and this acquisition corporation plans to change that by merging with DraftKings. [\\[ref\\]](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-23/draftkings-is-going-public-in-deal-valuing-firm-at-3-3-billion) Before this merger was made public, CNBC wrote a huge article on the sports betting, including a market projection of $150 billion (the estimated current illegal gambling market size). DraftKings and FanDuel own 83% of the legal gambling market in New Jersey. [\\[ref\\]] (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/27/fanduel-draftkings-race-to-win-150-billion-sports-betting-market.html) This leads to a massive potential upside in having an IPO in the sports betting industry, projected to be $5 billion dollars. \n\nThe opportunity: $DEAC is an acquisition corporation meant exactly for this purpose. They plan to merge with DraftKings and change to a publicly-traded DraftKings. Not only is the market projected to be large, but this deal is also said to be priced in at a market cap of $3.3 billion. By the way, $DEAC is currently at an $840 million market cap. Now... I\'m no mathematician, but those numbers are definitely far apart.\n\nThe challenge: While a supreme court ruling allowed any state their own legalization ability for sports betting, I believe NYC just turned down daily sports fantasy betting again. It most likely will be appealed but state legalization it is something to keep in mind. Currently, it shows 21 states have DFS regulations. [\\[ref\\]](https://www.legalsportsreport.com/daily-fantasy-sports-blocked-allowed-states/) Tax incentives could be a push for the other states to follow and legalize DFS regulations.\n \nConclusion/TLDR\n\nThere\'s one thing in common with these huge gaining stonks, They are breaking through to a market that\'s yet to be controlled. I\'m not a millionaire yet, nor I may never be, but the potential upside of a $DEAC investment seems like a great way to make people millionaires, cough cough calls. \n\n\nMay the gains be with you all!', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/f62ru8/dd_predicting_a_stock_leap/', 'f62ru8', [['u/AutoModerator', 50, '2020-02-19 02:54', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/f62ru8/dd_predicting_a_stock_leap/fi2djqf/', 'Sir, this is a MacDonald.\n\nI am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The observation is based on the fact that five large mining pools have launched a new cloud mining service as a joint venture.\n“In 2020, bitcoin has […] become a highly centralized system that places an increasing amount of trust in a small number of large entities. Any centralization of bitcoin network hash power should be of concern as it erodes the trustless model of the network,” TokenAnalyst, a cryptocurrency research firm, says.\nRelated:You Are the Product: A Three-Step Plan to Take Back Control of Personal Data\nIts strong language is consistent with the folk theorem thatbitcoin(BTC) relies on the decentralization of hash power to be secure. But is it also correct?\nIt is certainly true that one miner with 100 percent of the hash power would have more control over the network than miners with 10 percent hash power. A majority miner can reorganize the blockchain to double-spend his own transactions or even block any unwanted transactions from making it into the blockchain.\nIf a majority miner can misbehave and hurt users, does that mean users should try whatever they can to prevent centralization in hash power?\nFormer Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell sees that as a futile task,given that“[an attack] doesn’t even depend on a single person having too much of the hash power. The attack would work just as well if there were 100 people each with an equal amount and a majority of them colluded to dishonestly override the result.”\nRelated:Never Mind Hodlers, Crypto Needs More Opportunist Investors\nThis insight is important because it shows we can not rule out concentration, ever. Miners can always collude with each other and act as a single entity. It would be ludicrous to trust a system that can collapse after a single conference call – that’s all it would take to coordinate the behavior of the largest mining pools. And if miners could make more money by colluding with each other, we should expect that they will.\nRationality means agents do what is best for them, even if that means colluding with other miners to attack the system.\nAnd – according to Maxwell – this problem might not have a solution because “any mechanism that would let you prevent one party (much less secret collusion) from having too much authority would almost certainly let you just replace mining entirely.”\nSo if the concentration of hash power in proof-of-work (PoW), or of stake in proof-of-stake, is inevitable, why am I not worried?\nThe answer is that bitcoin’s design doesn’t assume mining power is widely distributed. It’s simply not a requirement. Instead, it only assumes miners are rational, which is something completely different. Rationality means agents do what is best for them, even if that means colluding with other miners to attack the system.\nSatoshi addressed this matter directlyin the white paper:\nThe incentive may help encourage nodes to stay honest. If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments, or using it to generate new coins. He ought to find it more profitable to play by the rules, such rules that favor him with more new coins than everyone else combined, than to undermine the system and the validity of his own wealth.\nLet’s unpack this a bit. It is the incentive in the form of new coins and transaction fees that motivate the majority to “stay honest.” Satoshi realized the only way to prevent a “greedy attacker” from taking over is to make it more profitable to play by the rules than to attack the system.\nThis is the key to bitcoin’s assurances and at the same time the most widely misunderstood aspect of bitcoin’s design.\nEconomist Paul Sztorc even says he is “most comfortablejust assuming that everyone is always in perfect collusion with everyone else. Specifically, that all of the hash power is actually owned and operated by one guy, whom we might call ‘Mr. Greed.’ […] Why doesn’t Mr. Greed double spend, you ask? (He can reorganize the chain at any time.) Well, Mr. Greed prefers to keep all of the new coins for himself, rather than undermine the system (and the validity of his own wealth).”\nI must admit, I was not comfortable with what I perceived bitcoin’s security model to be initially. If bitcoin were vulnerable the moment a group of colluding miners obtains 51 percent of hash power, how could we possibly monitor – let alone prevent – this? Moreover, why are smaller forks like [bitcoin cash] BCH and [bitcoin SV] BSV not constantly under attack, given that several individual mining pools in BTC control more hash power than their entire networks?\nThe dissonance disappeared when I realized that hash power concentration doesn’t actually matter. Bitcoin is secure not because it is impossible to attack, but because it is costly to attack.\nThe cost of an attack is directly related to how much hash power the attacker owns. That is the key finding of apaperI released with Curtis and Prestwich in 2019. In a simplified model, we estimated the present value of all mining operations in bitcoin at around 658,800 BTC or $6 billion at current bitcoin prices. (Consequently, 60 percent of hash power is worth around 395,000 BTC or $3.6 billion, and so on.)\nThe present value of these miners depends on the value of the network because their future profit is exclusively from block rewards. They are priced in bitcoin’s native token, BTC. If something happened to bitcoin that would make users lose trust in the system, these 658,800 BTC could lose their value in real terms, incurring a large opportunity cost.\nLet’s say an attacker with 60 percent hash power decided to attack the network. If the attack depresses the price of bitcoin by only 10 percent, a rather conservative guess, he would lose $360 million in future profit. This is the opportunity cost of his attack.\nThis number – also called security margin – gives us an idea of how much an attacker has to be able to gain just to break even with his attack. And it does not yet include the ability for the other 40 percent of hash power to push back, or the ability of users to respond with their own nuclear option of changing the PoW algorithm.\nThe same logic has been replicated in the recent paper “Too Big to Cheat: Mining Pools’ Incentives to Double Spend in Blockchain Based Cryptocurrencies” by Savolainen and Soria. The authors conclude that “the historically observed pool concentration does not indicate a higher risk of double-spending attacks. […] This result demonstrates the well-known economic insight that feasibility does not imply desirability.”\nMining concentration is Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [7511.59, 7355.63, 7322.53, 7275.16, 7238.97, 7290.09, 7317.99, 7422.65, 7293.00, 7193.60, 7200.17, 6985.47, 7344.88, 7410.66, 7411.32, 7769.22, 8163.69, 8079.86, 7879.07, 8166.55, 8037.54, 8192.49, 8144.19, 8827.76, 8807.01, 8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24, 10326.05, 10214.38, 10312.12, 9889.42, 9934.43, 9690.14, 10142.00, 9633.39] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

Bitcoin defended key price support early on Thursday, strengthening the case for another move higher. Having faced rejection above $9,400 multiple times on Wednesday, the top cryptocurrency by market value came under pressure during the Asian trading hours today. Buyers, however, absorbed the selling pressure at $9,188, keeping the former resistance-turned-support intact. Bitcoin had reversed lower from the same $9,188 hurdle on Jan. 14, aborting the short-term bullish view. So as the cryptocurrency bounced up strongly from $8,250 earlier this week, traders wondered whether bitcoin will again fail at $9,188 and form a double-top bearish reversal pattern or cross the hurdle with conviction. Related:Binance US Now Offers Staking Rewards for These Two Cryptocurrencies The latter case won the day and the bulls managed to push prices well above $9,188 on Wednesday, flipping the resistance into support and establishing a new higher high. At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $9,350, according to CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index. Bitcoin is moving in a sideways channel on the hourly chart. A move above channel resistance at $9,452 would likely accelerate the recent rally and open the doors to $9,600 (channel range added to breakout price). A violation there would expose the psychological resistance at $10,000. The RSI is no longer reporting overbought conditions and is currently in bullish territory above 50. Related:Bitcoin Eyes Best January Close in 7 Years After 30% Price Increase With the longer duration charts also biased bullish, the odds appear stacked in favor of a range breakout. Should the range be breached to the downside, a deeper pullback to the 200-day average at $8,900 may be seen. BItcoin rose past $9,188 on Wednesday with a positive “marubozu candle,” indicating that bullish sentiment is quite strong. Further, the five- and 10-day averages are trending north so dips, if any, are likely to be short-lived. A bearish reversal would be confirmed only if prices print a UTC close below $8,213 (higher low created on Jan. 24). Currently, that looks unlikely.

At the time of writing it was trading above the $9,650 level of support after being propped up by the four-hour 200 exponential moving average (EMA). Weekend price action is typically unpredictable with low volume, which means that values could easily slide in either direction due to a lack of liquidity. A break down from the $9,650 level will bring price targets of $9,350 and $8,830 into the frame, while a break to the upside will undoubtedly cause a re-test of the psychological $10,000 level. It’s worth noting that Bitcoin has surged by more than 40% since the turn of the year as anticipation builds around May’s halving event.

The psychological barrier has been within touching distance for days, but trading volume couldnt quite give it the final push above $9,800 as it looked like BTC was preparing to slump ahead of Mays halving. However, a sudden rush of buyers in the early hours of Sunday morning gave Bitcoin enough momentum to carry it across the $10k mark and cement a leading role in what has been bullish narrative over recent weeks. Despite the golden cross a few days ago, typical volatility took hold and planted the seed of doubt in many minds where the significance of reaching double figures is not lost. The 50 exponential moving average darted over the 200 EMA to the upside for the first time since April 2019, signalling a bull dominance that looked likely to materialise on Friday. A bearish fight repeatedly held the price down but, by 2am this morning, the portents of destiny were in positive mood as BTC began to climb unchecked from $9,970. By 3am, any bearish resistance appeared to have transformed into a welcoming committee with a full $100 rise within the hour. The scene for todays noteworthy value was set days ago. Bitcoin moved 5% upwards on Wednesday as it looked to test an apparent $9,600 level of resistance with $10,000 within sight. Mays halving is clearly a driving force behind this latest rally which has seen Bitcoin spring from $6,400 to $10,000 in under seven weeks. Bitcoins block reward halving will see miners accrue just 6.25 per block rather than 12.5, creating increased scarcity and, therefore, higher demand for holding digital assets.

Today's Key News: ['Michael Casey is chief content officer at CoinDesk. The following is part of “The Token Economy,” an essay in Alex Tapscott’s new book “ The Financial Services Revolution .” Blockchain technology, and the cryptocurrencies, tokens and other digital assets it has engendered, may be moving us toward a model of programmable money that incorporates an automated internal governance of common resources and encourages collaboration among communities. Digital scarcity, when applied to these tokens, treats our increasingly digitized economy differently from the pre-digital one. It raises the possibility that our money itself becomes the tool for achieving common outcomes. Developers of new decentralized applications are tokenizing all manner of resources – electricity and bandwidth, for example, but also human qualities such as audience attention for online content or fact-checkers’ honesty. Whereas media coverage has focused on the billions of dollars these token issuers have raised, it’s the radical new economic design that promises a lasting impact on society. Once a community associates scarce tokens with rights to these resources, it can develop controls over token usage that help manage public goods. It’s dynamic money whose role extends beyond that of a unit of exchange, money that’s direct tool for achieving community objectives. Related: China Has Many Strategic Reasons to Invest in Blockchain Throughout 2016 and the first eight months of 2017, developers of decentralized software applications raised almost more than $1.6 billion via a new tool dubbed the ICO [initial coin offering] that was first launched in early 2014. By late July 2017, secondary-market trading in the tokens they’d issued had given the pool of cryptocurrencies, cryptocommodities, and cryptotokens to which they belonged a combined value of $95.6 billion, up from $7 billion at the start of 2016. We may be moving toward a model of programmable money that can deliver a more automated system of internal governance over common resources. Story continues The phenomenon has made many developers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts very rich and revealed a new crowdfunding model that some see as a threat to Silicon Valley’s venture capitalists. Skeptics, on the other hand, make comparisons to the South Sea Bubble, in which shares in an 18th-century British trading company rose rapidly on hype and speculation, only to collapse when the returns didn’t live up to the hype. A chasm has emerged between those who see a game-changing shift, not only in fundraising activity but also in economic strategy, and those who warn of reckless ICO scams and of an impending regulatory crackdown. Both deserve to be considered. If token fans are right, something quite profound is at stake: a new economic system that challenges the basic tenets of 20th century capitalism. These negotiable tokens blur the lines involving “product,” “currency,” and “equity.” In theory, their in-built software can regulate how users behave with each other so that computer owners can trade excess storage across a decentralized network, for example, or social media users can earn income for their content and attention. They combine self-interest and market pricing signals with a governance system that protects a common good. Related: In Defense of Justin Sun For tokens to be viable, however, we need a major overhaul of our auditing processes and commercial regulations to keep issuers honest. If those goals can be met, this emerging token economy offers society an entirely new paradigm of money and value exchange. A solution to the ‘Tragedy of the Commons’? In his influential essay, “Tragedy of the Commons,” about 19th century farmers grazing their cows on common land, the ecologist Garrett Hardin posited that communities that depend on a shared, unregulated resource will ultimately deplete it as individuals are incentivized to pursue self-interest to the detriment of the common good. Hardin recognized a coordination problem caused by a lack of trust, where well-meaning actors can’t avoid overusing a common resource due to their concern that others might “free-ride” on their goodwill. Ever since that 1968 essay, the word “commons” has come to refer not just to natural resources such as land, water and food supplies, but also human-created resources such as public infrastructure and even intangible concepts such as free speech. It is now used frequently in the context of designing policies to ensure free, public access to those resources. Over the years, Hardin’s thesis has been used to justify the role of external governance – that is, the state – in regulating and protecting scarce resources that constitute a public good. Yet, more recently, some economists have demonstrated his rather cynical view of human nature doesn’t always hold true. In particular, the late Elinor Ostrom, who won a Nobel Prize in 2009 for her work studying how fishermen in Maine self-organized to develop ingrained norms of behavior that helped protect the region’s lobster fishery, argued that various communities have proven capable of coming up with effective internal governance to manage resources. However, while there are many instances of such common-interest practices around the world, their success relies more on art than science. Internal governance is often contingent on common cultural practices and close personal ties within a community. Developing a universal model for internal governance has been challenging, especially within the many micro-economic settings in which it is difficult to identify and practically regulate misuse of the common resource. Now, with the advent of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrencies, crypto tokens and other digital assets that it has engendered, we may be moving toward a model of programmable money that can deliver a more automated system of internal governance over common resources. Once a community incorporates programmable software into its shared medium of exchange, it can embed usage rules straight into the monetary unit itself. We can use it for some transactions but not for others, and we can program its value to rise in concert with proof of an improvement in the state of the public resource. Tokens thus offer a way to codify into money itself a function that executes the community’s expectations regarding people’s distinct rights to common property and the associated obligations that come with those. According to Ostrom’s and Schlager’s taxonomy, these may include distinct rights of access, withdrawal, management, exclusion and alienation. If we can capture these quasi-legal notions in a token it becomes a meta-asset, a thing of value that is simultaneously a governance vehicle. It’s money with a dynamic use that extends beyond its role as a stable and exchangeable unit of value, to a direct means of achieving community objectives. The great promise of the token economy is that it might solve the “Tragedy of the Commons.” What bitcoin wrought Both the enthusiasm for meta-asset investing [in the ICO boom] and their potential to tackle the “Tragedy of the Commons” can be traced to bitcoin (BTC), the very first crypto token. Not only did this invention turn the imagination of thousands of developers toward designing applications for a decentralized, dis-intermediated economic future, it also established a precedent for the software-driven internal governance of a scarce public resource. In coming up with the blockchain, a distributed public ledger that a community of currency users could share as their record of the truth, bitcoin’s pseudonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, created a public good, a commons in need of protection. Its integrity had to be assured despite the possibility that individual validators of that ledger, known as bitcoin miners, might be incentivized to act maliciously and enter false data that would allow them to “double-spend” their bitcoin balances – in other words, to engage in digital counterfeiting. There was no centralized authority to keep all the actors honest, no external governance, which had been the failure point for all prior attempts to create a decentralized currency with no centralized authority in charge. Without such an authority, a permissionless ledger that did not require identification of the user was always vulnerable to these abuses. Like the cattle herders on the commons, individual actors could not trust other people to act honestly. Satoshi Nakamoto beat this limitation. By embedding a unique set of software-driven rules into the bitcoin protocol, he incentivized the otherwise unidentified participants in the network to maintain the ledger’s integrity for the good of the whole while simultaneously seeking profits out of self-interest. The key was a special proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm that compelled miners to perform an electricity-burning computation task before they could earn the right to receive bitcoin rewards. That “skin in the game” made it prohibitively expensive to take over the network and doctor the results. It incentivized them to come to a consensus on a truthful ledger with all the other miners. It was a unique marriage of self and common interest. With it, Nakamoto achieved something remarkable: he solved the Tragedy of the Commons. In addition to its PoW consensus system, which compels even unidentifiable rogue players to act honestly, there’s another powerful idea behind bitcoin that has helped frame new ideas around how crypto tokens can help communities manage common resources: that of “digital assets.” Because PoW assures the integrity of the (uppercase B) Bitcoin ledger and protects against double-spending of (lowercase b) bitcoin currency, each unit of that currency can be treated as a unique item. For the first time, we have a form of digital value that cannot be replicated – unlike a Word document, an MP3 song, a video, or any other software vehicle for transmitting value that pre-existed bitcoin.

It has since been flirting with a breakout following yesterday evenings daily candle close, which provided the first marginal higher high since it shot to $14,000 in June. After rallying to its yearly high, Bitcoin slumped into a bearish market trend with four consecutive lower highs at $13,200, $12,400, $11,000 and $10,300. This resulted in an eventual decline towards Decembers local low of $6,410, which coincidentally came exactly two years after Bitcoin achieved its all-time high of $20,000. If Bitcoin can continue to rally over the weekend it will almost certainly test the psychological level of $10,000. A break above here would see the worlds largest cryptocurrency establish a truly bullish trend with upside targets emerging above $11,300. One key technical aspect from the past week is that a golden cross has come into fruition on the daily chart, with the 50 EMA crossing the 200 EMA to the upside. The previous time this happened was in April 2019 when Bitcoin was trading at $4,800, it went on to rise by 195% in the following two months. Eyes on halving The recent rally, which has seen Bitcoin skyrocket from $6,400 to $9,700 in six weeks, has been attributed to the upcoming halving event. Bitcoins block reward halving will commence in May, with miners seeing rewards for each block slashed from 12.5 to 6.25. This has historically caused a tremendous upswing in the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as miners are incentivised to hold rewards, thus reducing supply amid rising demand. Miners also need to ensure the price of Bitcoin trades at a level where the industry remains profitable in order to cover overheads like staff, equipment and electricity. With just three months to go until the halving the price of Bitcoin is predicted to keep rising as anticipation mounts from early adopters and hopeful new investors.

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without relying on trust. On January 3 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number 0 (or the genesis block), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

The IFP, for good or bad, for anyone observing closely, is telling us so many things. There is a saying in Chinese, “In crisis, there are opportunities.”\n\nAnd indeed, during this IFP crisis, there are so many opportunities.\n\nI have always thought of Bitcoin Cash as the people’s money and during this crisis, I was not disappointed. The people are willing to band together and resist when they feel Bitcoin Cash is moving in a different direction than what they expected. You don’t have this in BTC because BTC is entirely centralized by Blockstream. This incident is a great opportunity to show the world that Bitcoin Cash is as decentralized as can be compared to other cryptocurrencies.\n\nEven better, the passion from the Bitcoin Cash community has been overwhelming. This is a great signal for a cryptocurrency, particularly because the value of a cryptocurrency is strongly driven by its community. I think there is saying in tech startup like, “It’s better to have 100 loyal customers than 1000 ordinary customers.”\n\nDuring crisis, there are opportunities and during this month, we can see some people stepping up and taking responsibilities to fix the crisis. That is super amazing. It means people care about Bitcoin Cash more than we think. What you want in times of crisis are leaders who would think, “Ok, although I didn’t cause this problem, but I am taking responsibility to fix it anyway”. These are the type of things that highly productive people do and it’s great to have them in the Bitcoin Cash community.\n\nAt the same time, there were some things that I should have said earlier, but I didn’t. Before the situation even escalated to the IFP, I knew ABC needed funding and I suggested to Amaury that he doesn’t need to pay me anything, I can voluntarily help find a VC for them to solve their financial situation. However, the VC would likely expect some things in return. Amaury told me that by doing that, ABC would be no different from Blockstream and he doesn’t want to go down that route.\n\nI do not think Amaury is a bad person, just like I would like to think that Peter Rizun and Andrew Stone are decent folks as well. Jonald is also a great person. Actually, there are lots of good talented people in the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem, which was what attracted me to Bitcoin Cash in the first place. I think we need to recognize that we are playing in the same team and it is not productive for us to make false accusations against someone else in the heat of the moment. For an outsider, such false accusations won’t just look bad on both parties, but it also looks bad ...

Elsewhere, it’s been a bullish start to the day for the majors. Tezos led the way early on, rallying by 4.60%, with Tron’s TRX up by 3.26% For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $9,800 levels to bring the third major resistance level at $9,956.83 back into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the second major resistance level. Barring an extended crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $9,802.93 would likely continue to cap any upside. In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could eye a return to $10,000 levels. Failure to move back through to $9,800 levels could see Bitcoin fall hit reverse. A fall through the morning low $9,660.0 would bring the first major support level at $9,579.07 into play.

Conventional wisdom says that insiders and 10% owners really only buy shares of a company for one reason -- they believe the stock price will rise and they want to profit from it. So insider buying can be an encouraging signal for potential investors, particularly during periods of uncertainty. Here are a few of significant insider purchases reported last week. Also note that with earnings season winding down, buy windows for many insiders are open again. Tesla Tesla Inc (NYSE: TSLA ) CEO Elon Musk took advantage of the recent secondary offering. Via trust, he picked up more than 13,000 shares of this electric vehicle maker at $767.00 apiece. That cost him just shy $10 million. Another director bought 1,250 shares as well. Tesla stock has been on a tear so far this year, hitting new all-time highs. The share price was last seen at $901, well above Musk's purchase price. Note that the posted consensus analyst price target is less than $490. The consensus recommendation is to hold shares, and it has been since before the beginning of 2020. Enterprise Products Partners An Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD ) director returned to purchase 200,000 more shares of this midstream energy services provider via trust last week. At $25.71 to $26.33 per share, that totaled more than $5.19 million. That director has bought 850,000 shares so far this month. The Houston-based company posted disappointing quarterly results at the end of January. The stock is only up about 1% so far this month but still more than 7% lower year to date. Analysts recommend buying the shares, and the consensus target price suggests 32% or so upside from the most recent close. Moderna A director at Moderna Inc (NYSE: MRNA ) purchased more than 52,600 shares last week via trust. At $19.00 per share, that cost the director nearly $1.00 million. Note that the CEO and the president of the clinical-stage biotechnology company both were selling shares last week. This vaccine-developer just received an important FDA approval for its Zika treatment . Shares have retreated more than 5% year to date and ended the week less than a dollar below the director's purchase price. The consensus price target suggests there is more than 62% upside in Moderna stock.

Democractic presidential candidates have privacy laws and regulations in their campaign platforms. Amy Klobuchar discussed a tax on companies who share user data. Elizabeth Warren has introduced legislation that considers the idea of jail time for CEOs over privacy failures. Before he dropped out of the race, John Delaney proposed the U.S. adopt a law similar to the California Consumer Privacy Act , which gives greater agency to consumers when it comes to limiting companies collecting of their data. Voters are demanding action. A recent poll from Morning Consult found that 79 percent of registered voters said Congress should pursue a bill to better protect the online data of consumers, while 65 percent called data privacy one of the biggest issues facing society. Related: When Corporations Violate Privacy, They Do Concrete Harm The European Union, 27 member states with the loss of the UK, enacted the General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ), enshrining the idea that people have control over personal data. California recently enacted its own privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which goes into effect January 1. The law empowers California consumers to know when private companies collect, share or sell their data and to stop that sale if necessary. It applies to companies with annual gross revenue of more than $25 million or that possess information on 50,000 or more consumers. But laws can have unintended consequences. Sometimes the very laws meant to enforce privacy can result in companies nevertheless sharing it. GDPR opens up a way of crooks to impersonate people and get their data from companies. A year after GDPR went into effect, researchers in the EU showed how it’s easy to access personal data from companies. “This isn’t a problem with the law itself, but instead with the companies and organizations implementing it,” Mariano Di Martino, one of the researchers, who is a PhD student as Hasselt University in Belgium, told CoinDesk in an interview. “This may be because of budgetary constraints or maybe it’s because they don’t understand the risks of this data.” Story continues Related: US DOJ Calls Bitcoin Mixing ‘a Crime’ in Arrest of Software Developer One group used publicly available information, such as names, emails, and phone numbers, in addition to more complicated methods to request information on their research partners from 55 companies under GDPR. One of these complex methods for obtaining the data included replacing the name, birth date and photo on the image of an ID to reflect the person whose information the researchers wanted. Of those 55 companies, 15 companies gave up sensitive personal information to the researchers. Four companies never responded to their data requests, in clear violation of GDPR. This isn’t a problem with the law itself, but instead with the companies and organizations implementing it. The information they gathered included financial companies giving up details such as ID card numbers, a list of timestamped financial transactions, customer IDs, telephone numbers and place of birth, and transportation and logistic companies releasing locations people visited in the past as well as routes they’d saved. Another team of researchers in the EU found similar issues when one requested information on his research partner and the research partner’s wife using a spoofed email account that was a variation on the name of the wife. About a quarter of the 150 companies and organizations they contacted gave up sensitive personal information without verifying the identity of the requester. The information given to him included everything from her social security number to her high school grades and various account passwords. As the CCPA goes into effect, it’s possible we may see similar issues. The GDPR research illustrates that privacy laws may only be as good as the companies affected by them. Which is scary. These leaks have real world implications. “Say I was trying to stalk someone, and I want to learn more about them,” says Di Martino. “I might send a data request to a company that provides taxi or bus services and try to get all the routes or GPS locations where this person has been. And it could work.” Related Stories The US Government’s Mixed Signals on Digital Currency Privacy EFF Defends Ex-Kraken Employee’s Right to Post Anonymously About Company... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Today's Key News: ['J.P. Koning, a CoinDesk columnist, worked as an equity researcher at a Canadian brokerage firm and a financial writer at a large Canadian bank. He runs the popularMoneynessblog.\nI don’t know about you, but the thing that got me interested inbitcoin(BTC) was its potential to become a popular way to make payments and remittances. Over the years we’ve been constantly disappointed on this front. Bitcoin payments just never caught on with the masses. Meanwhile, usage of fiat-based person-to-person payment tools like Venmo, Square Cash, Zelle and the U.K.’sFaster Paymentshas exploded.\nBitcoin’s new lightning layer has rekindled the dream of bitcoin-as-generally-accepted medium of exchange. But lightning is prickly to use. Which is why Zap’srecent announcementof Strike, a new lightning application, caught my interest. Strike aims to popularize bitcoin payments by making lightning more user-friendly.\nRelated:Securities Law Helped Build Modern Capitalism. Crypto Should Embrace It\nThe idea behind Strike is to create a fiat-based payments app, say like Venmo, except under the hood the payment is conducted in bitcoin. A hybrid fiat-bitcoin payments app is a neat idea. But marrying fiat with bitcoin will involve challenges, too.\nA bitcoin payment is special. The bitcoin network is open to everyone, or censorship resistant. It allows for pseudonymous usage. And it provides what Satoshi Nakamoto described as non-reversible digital transfers; like cash, once the stuff is spent, the economic relationship between payer and payee is severed.\nWithout even knowing it, you’ve paid your neighbor with bitcoin.\nPseudonymity, non-reversibility and openness will cause hassles that regular payments platforms like Square Cash or Venmo needn’t worry about. It remains to be seen whether hybrid fiat-bitcoin platforms like Strike will be able to marry the two systems in a form that still attracts a mainstream user base.\nRelated:Crypto Exchanges Need Common Messaging to Comply With Travel Rule\nLet’s back up a bit. How does lightning resuscitate the dream of mainstream bitcoin payments? Writing a transaction to bitcoin’s core blockchain takes time. It has to be broadcast to the network and confirmed by miners. On top of that, a processing fee must be paid. This fee can get particularly costly when everyone wants to use the bitcoin network at the same time.\nThese delays and fees put off mainstream users. By routing around the blockchain, lightning can help regular people be more comfortable making bitcoin payments.\nUnfortunately, lightning doesn’t solve bitcoin’s roller-coaster problem. After experiencing bitcoin’s crazy price rises and dips, a new user will never want to hold bitcoin again. Or they will be so excited by the ride that they treat it as abetting game. Either way, they won’t use it for payments.\nStrike, founded by a smart and affableJack Mallers, tries to solve the roller-coaster problem by letting people load funds onto an app, much like they do with Venmo. But when they make a payment, unbeknown to them, Strike (which is still in beta) will route the payment to the recipient via lightning.\nSay you’d like to buy an antique vase for $100 at your neighbor’s garage sale. You don’t have any cash on hand. But you do have your credit card. Needless to say, your neighbor doesn’t have a card terminal set up. But she does have a lightning channel open. Strike allows the two of you to connect. The $100 flows from your bank account to Strike’s bank account, upon which Strike sends 0.01 bitcoins to your neighbor via lightning.\nThat’s it. Without even knowing it, you’ve paid your neighbor with bitcoin. No volatility. And no need to learn how to use a strange new payments network. The entire experience simply piggybacks off of your existing knowledge of how to use a debit card.\nAs for your neighbor, with just a lightning address, she can immediately accept non-reversible payments from debit card holders all over the world. That’s neat.\nBut unless your neighbor has the technical chops, setting up lightning won’t be easy, certainly not as easy as accepting fiat-based payments via Zelle or Venmo. Which means that hybrid fiat-bitcoin payments systems will probably have to reach nooks and crannies that are as-yet unserved by the Zelles and Venmos of the world.\nWhile marijuana is legal in many U.S. states, it is illegal on the federal level. And so banks often disconnect companies that process marijuana payments for fear of losing access to Federal Deposit Insurance, or the Federal Reserve’s settlement system. As a result, many marijuana businesses are forced to turn card-paying customers away.\nIn a recent blog post, Mallersdescribed howhis family’s marijuana store set up a lightning channel, then encouraged debit card-carrying customers to download Strike. Now the store could reconnect to its clients with cards. That’s pretty useful.\nMany parts of the world, including Nigeria, are locked out of the U.S. person-to-person payments economy. Venmo and Zelle don’t allow non-U.S. citizens to sign up. As a matter of policy, PayPal doesn’t allow Nigerians to receive money (although they can open an account). If a Nigerian were to advertise a lightning payments channel, however, a hybrid fiat-to-bitcoin system like Strike could connect that person to Americans who want to do fiat-based person-to-person payments. The sender needn’t know anything about bitcoin or lightning.\nNow for some of the complications of marrying fiat to bitcoin.\nOperators of hybrid systems will have to fund buyer identity fraud out of their own pocket.\nOne of the problems that person-to-person payments apps like Venmo must deal with is buyer identity fraud. Scammers will often hack Venmo accounts or fund them with stolen credit cards. Then they use the funds to buy expensive goods. Sellers never realize they’ve accepted stolen money until Venmo reverses the payment.\nSince a hybrid system like Strike connects to lightning addresses, recouping stolen funds from recipients won’t be possible. Once a lightning payment is made, it’s irreversible. Which means operators of hybrid systems will have to fund buyer identity fraud out of their own pocket. That could get quite expensive.\nAnother type of fraud is authorized push fraud. This sort of fraud occurs when a scammer tricks victims into sending money for, say, concert tickets, but never actually provides the tickets and makes off with the money.\nPayments options like the U.K.’s Faster Payments, Venmo and Square Cash are rife with push fraud. But they do have tools for combating it, including quickly canceling offending accounts and tightening up the rules for opening accounts. Faster Payments isintroducinga new account name checking service to cut down on fraud.\nBut a hybrid fiat-to-bitcoin system that connects to pseudonymous lightning addresses can’t use tools like identity checking or account cancellation to combat authorized push fraud. The whole idea behind bitcoin is to prevent this very sort of censorship.\nAnd so hybrid systems could become popular with fraudsters. Apopular scamthese days is to ask Granny to get out of her rocking chair, go to Walmart and buy four $500 Google Play cards. With a hybrid fiat-bitcoin system, scammers can extort her by having her send $5,000 via her debit card, all from the comfort of her chair. The lightning side of the transaction allows the bad guys to stay anonymous and untouchable.\nThe problem with fraud is that if it gets out of control, it stigmatizes a payments system. This, in turn, harms the brand, impedes broader usage and may even attract political pushback. Douglas Jackson, the founder of the pseudonymouse-Gold payment system, serves as a good example. Accordingto Jackson, e-gold’s failure to ever become more than a marginal player can be blamed on “self-reinforcing negative reputation” created by criminal abuse. (Indeed, it eventually led to e-gold being shut down.)\nTo cut down on buyer identity fraud and authorized push fraud, a hybrid fiat-to-bitcoin system might decide to throw in the towel and do what Venmo and the others do: vet all users. But then it would no longer be doing censorship-resistant money. Gone would be non-reversible transactions. After all, the operator of the payment system could pressure lightning address owners to reverse payments on pain of being taken off of it the operator’s white list.\nStrike highlights many of the contradictions involved in developing bitcoin solutions. Lightning is complicated. This prevents regular folks from using it. But simplifying a lightning payment by marrying it to the fiat system introduces a new set of complications. Bringing censorship resistance and non-reversibility to a mainstream audience may be impossible.\nOr maybe not. There’s a lot of creativity being brought to bear on this problem. Maybe folks like Mallers will find the sweet spot.\n• China Has Many Strategic Reasons to Invest in Blockchain\n• In Defense of Justin Sun', 'J.P.

A weekly close (Sunday, UTC) above $7,960 looks likely and would confirm a falling channel breakout on the weekly chart and signal a revival of the bull run from lows near $4,100 seen in April 2019. Gold witnessed a channel breakout at the end of December and has rallied by more than $100 ever since. Acceptance below $8,000 would weaken the odds of channel breakout this week. Bitcoin jumped to seven-week highs early on Wednesday and appears on track to confirm a significant price breakout similar to that seen by gold. According to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index , the number one cryptocurrency by market value rose to $8,463 the highest level since Nov. 18 during the Asian trading hours as Iran launched retaliatory attacks on the American bases in Iraq. Related: Bitcoin Hits New 2020 High Above $8,400 After Iranian Missile Attack While bitcoin rallied to multi-week highs, gold, a classic haven asset, jumped above $1,600 for the first time since 2013. Other anti-risk assets like Japanese yen, Swiss franc and U.S. bonds also drew bids. The safe-haven narrative surrounding bitcoin has strengthened with the cryptocurrency gaining ground in tandem with gold since Friday. The yellow metal found takers near $1,530 on Friday after the U.S. killed a top Iranian military commander and rose to a high of $1,611 earlier today. Meanwhile, bitcoin turned higher from lows near $6,850 on Friday and has gained more than 20 percent since. The cryptocurrency now looks set to take a page out of golds book and confirm a falling channel breakout on the weekly chart. Bitcoin and gold weekly charts Related: Bitcoin Probes Major Resistance After 15 Percent Price Rally As can be seen, both assets had a tough time in the second half of 2019. Gold (above right) topped out at $1,557 at the end of August and fell to lows below $1,450 in November, creating a falling channel on the weekly chart. The channel was breached on the higher side in the last week of December with a convincing move above $1,483. The breakout signaled a resumption of the rally from lows near $1,270 seen in April and since then, the yellow metal has rallied by more than 8 percent. Story continues Bitcoins weekly chart (above left) also shows a falling channel, which represents the sell-off from the June 2019 high of $13,880 to the low of $6,425 reached in December. The cryptocurrency is currently trading above the falling channel resistance of $7,960. A breakout would be confirmed if prices close the week (Sunday, UTC) above $7,960. That would imply a continuation of the rally from April 2019 low of $4,100 and open the doors for a re-test of $13,880. A breakout looks likely with bullish developments on key technical indicators. Weekly and daily chart Bitcoins rise to seven-week highs has confirmed seller exhaustion signaled by multiple long-tailed weekly candles and the bullish divergence of the MACD histogram, an indicator used to gauge trend strength and identify trend changes. A bullish divergence occurs when an indicator produces higher lows, contradicting lower lows on price and is considered an advance warning of an impending bullish reversal. The MACD has charted higher lows since early December. Meanwhile, the daily chart is reporting an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout, also a bullish reversal pattern. The recent rally looks to have legs, as buying volumes (not shown) have risen over the last few days and the MACD is charting higher bars above the zero line, signaling a strengthening of bullish momentum. All-in-all, the odds appear stacked in favor of a rise to $8,626 the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of the sell-off from $10,350 to$6,425. The odds of bitcoin confirming a channel breakout this comingSunday would drop if prices find acceptance below $8,000 with highvolumes. That said, stronger buying pressure could emerge in the subsequent weeks, yielding a breakout, as miner reward halving (supply-cutting event) is due in May.

She is also an investor in early stage startups with Slow Ventures. Where are the users? This is the big question facing the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology world. For some, it is the elephant in the room. For others, it is the tantalizing puzzle waiting to be solved. For everyone, it is a matter of survival. Related:No, Concentration Among Miners Isn’t Going to Break Bitcoin A couple of years ago, I wrote a bit about how I conceive ofthe blockchain technology stack. The stack breaks down into three layers: products, platforms and protocols. • Products serve end users • Platforms serve product developers • Protocols serve platform & product developers Products include assets like cryptocurrencies and tokens as well as the applications they enable, such as games and marketplaces. Platforms are developer environments and middleware layers that allow those assets and applications to be built and run. Protocols are the underlying networks and their associated rules. I also wrote, a couple of years ago, about how demand, and therefore value, flows from end users, through products and eventually back to the platforms and protocols that underlie them. I called this dynamic “top-down demand.” At the time that I wrote all of this, in the fall of 2017, at the peak of initial coin offering fever, I was imploring the market to pay closer attention to fundamentals. I hoped founders, developers and creators would pause in their quest for optimization for optimization’s sake (invariably building a better, faster, more secure ethereum) and instead think from first principles about who might actually want such a thing. I wished for the market to place greater focus on end users as opposed to chanting the old Steve Ballmer reprise: “Developers! Developers! Developers!” Related:Financial Services: The Coming Cataclysm I am writing about all of this now because I think, in a way, I was wrong. At a minimum, I think that as an industry we have overcorrected. Two years ago I would have told you the industry needed to focus on end consumers. Today I see this with more nuance. Outside of the weird, wonderful world of cryptocurrency, startups tend to fall into one of a few categories when it comes to go-to-market strategy. They can be B2C (businesses selling directly to consumers), B2B (businesses selling to other businesses or enterprises), or they can be B2B2C. As you may have surmised,B2B2Cbusinesses sell their products to other businesses that in turn pass the product on to their customers. Importantly, B2B2C companies are in the business of acquiring those end users. We must not only build products people want but also build platforms developers need to get there. OpenTable is a great example of this. OpenTable started out much as it exists today: a platform for restaurant-goers to make reservations. Quickly, however, the OpenTable team realized the restaurants did not have the pieces in place to enable this. The restaurants were still taking reservations over the phone and noting them down using pens and clipboards. So OpenTable built out a digital CRM and table management system, selling restaurants the infrastructure they needed to get online. Once they had a critical mass of restaurants on the platform, they could close the loop by once more providing a reservation-booking product to end consumers. I think the blockchain industry can take some lessons from OpenTable. As I rethink the products, platforms and protocols framework, I see parallels to B2B2C businesses. What we need is not, as I advocated for at the time, a greater focus on end consumers. As I look around today, all I see in the cryptocurrency world are strong hypotheses about what end-consumers might want: open access to investment products, freely transferable gaming assets, immutable digital memory, certifiably-scarce digital goods. What is missing is the infrastructure that enables these products. Users are generally the sign that product-market fit has been achieved. The challenge of the blockchain world lies not only in reaching product-market fit, but also in achieving protocol-market fit. For this, we must not onlybuild products people wantbut alsobuild platforms developers needto get there. It’s not all about the wants and needs of end users. It’s also about the wants and needs of the developers and dreamers who will get us there. • Policymakers Shouldn’t Fear Digital Money: So Far It’s Maintaining the Dollar’s Status • CoinDesk’s New Opinion Section: The Future of the Financial System Is Up for Debate... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/jtoomim', 'BTC.top is mining blocks at a loss when BCH mining is not profitable and the block interval exceeds 1 hour -- thank you!', 164, '2020-02-26 00:41', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f9jnyx/btctop_is_mining_blocks_at_a_loss_when_bch_mining/', "Between Feb 1st and Feb 23rd, it had taken at least 1 hour between blocks 59 different times. Of the 59 blocks that broke these dry spells, 37 were mined by BTC.top, or 62.7%. The hashrate during these dry spells is otherwise about 2.0-2.5 EH/s, which indicates that BTC.top is moving about 4 EH/s over to BCH during long dry spells -- that's about 100% of their SHA256 hashrate.\n\nThis behavior started on Feb 1st. There were 175 blocks that took at least 1 hour to mine between Dec 15 and Jan 31st, and of those, only 6 (3.4%) were mined by BTC.top. Before Feb 1st, BTC.top was actively avoiding unprofitable mining. Now, they're actively seeking it out during the worst dry spells with the intent to prevent confirmation times from getting too long.\n\nDuring dry spells, it's usually around 10% more profitable to mine BTC than to mine BCH, so each time BTC.top does this, they're losing around $440 in revenue. That's about $16,400 so far, or around $20,000 per month.\n\nI think BTC.top deserves a big thank you for doing this.\n\nI also think the BCH community needs to fix the difficulty adjustment algorithm, since that's the reason why we're getting these dry spells in the first place. Teaser: i'm working on a video and/or article explaining the problem and how we can fix it. This discovery came while doing research for that. Expect it to be published within the next few days.\n\n[In a comment below](https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f9jnyx/btctop_is_mining_blocks_at_a_loss_when_bch_mining/fis8jre/) is a list of all blocks since 613500 that took more than 1 hour to mine (according to their timestamps), what the exact delay was (in seconds), and whether they were mined by BTC.top, if anyone is curious.

I'll explain more when I publish my article/video.\n\n> if 5% of each block's reward is diverted elsewhere, lowering profitability for each miner, do you think that would smooth out the blocktimes?\n\nNo, that would have no effect whatsoever. It wouldn't lower the profitability for each miner; it just means that 5% of the hashrate would switch to mining BTC, making the difficulty fall by 5%, and returning the profitability of BTC and BCH mining to parity.", 'f9jnyx'], ['u/jtoomim', 15, '2020-02-26 02:13', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f9jnyx/btctop_is_mining_blocks_at_a_loss_when_bch_mining/fis7rwh/', "You misunderstand a lot of things. Having 51% of the active hashrate for a fraction of a block interval does not comprise a 51% attack. In order to be a 51% attack, it has to be sustained hashrate on a chain that rejects contributions from other miners.\n\nIt only costs $20k to mine 45 blocks at a 5% loss per block, but it takes a lot more than that to perform a 51% attack. If you're mining honestly, you face basically zero risk that your blocks will end up orphaned; but when performing a 51% attack, the chance is high. 51% attacks also need to be sustained for long periods of time to be effective -- typically 100 to 1000 blocks in the attacks on minor altcoins that I've seen in the past.\n\nBCH has about 3% of the total SHA256 hashrate. Poolin and F2pool each have 20% of the total SHA256 hashrate. That means there are pools out there with 6 times as much hashrate as the BCH network has on average. As long as BCH is valued much lower than BTC, but shares the same hash function as BTC, this will be the case. However, SHA256 miners have shown in the past that they're willing to mine at a loss to protect BCH against 51% attacks. In Nov 2018, when Craig Wright threatened to reorg the BCH chain and perform 51% attacks against it, the BCH hashrate increased to 9 EH/s, or 2.5x above the profit-parity level (which at the time was about 3.5 EH/s). \n\nBCH has a lot of friends in the mining community, so even though the amount of hashrate that can profitably mine BCH at equilibrium is only 3-3.5 EH/s, the amount of available hashrate that is willing to defend BCH against 51% attacks is around 10 EH/s. So to perform a 51% attack on BCH, you'd need more than that. Renting 11 EH/s for 1 day costs about $1.5 million, not $20,000.\n\n> Also I suspect that this activity might be a part of the following plan\n\nIt isn't. This is just the result of miners caring about the UX and usability of BCH, and making sure that transactions don't take several hours to confirm. If it were part of the plan you're alleging, then they would be doing this all of the time. Instead, they're only doing this when a block has taken more than an hour to be mined.", 'f9jnyx'], ['u/jtoomim', 19, '2020-02-26 02:18', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/f9jnyx/btctop_is_mining_blocks_at_a_loss_when_bch_mining/fis8awl/', '> fix DAA\n\nYes, that is what I want to do.

A Ukrainian citizen based in the town of Renton, Washington, Kvashuk worked full time for Microsoft from 2016 to 2018. Involved in developing and testing the company’s online retail sales platform, he used his account access to steal what is described as “currency stored value” including digital gift cards that he subsequently re-sold on the internet over a seven-month period. Related: Ukraine Justice System Employee Caught Mining Crypto at Work Kvashuk built a lavish lifestyle using the embezzled funds, purchasing a $160,000 Tesla and a lakefront home worth an estimated $1.6 million. After uncovering the scheme, Microsoft confronted Kvashuk and fired him in June 2018. Kvashuk, who claimed at trial to be working on a special project for the company, stole amounts totaling roughly $12,000 under his own account before using test email accounts associated with fellow Microsoft employees to begin embezzling millions of dollars from the company. Changing funds into bitcoin, he would use a mixing service to obfuscate its origins before transferring the ill-gotten gains into his bank account. In total, bitcoin proceeds of over $2.8 million were transferred into his bank account. In tax returns filed during this period, Kvashuk claimed the funds were a gift from a relative. The trial, which lasted five days, found the engineer guilty on five counts of wire fraud, six counts of money laundering, two counts of aggravated identity theft, two counts of filing false tax returns and one count each of mail fraud, bank card fraud and using a company computer for illicit purposes.

What Happened "[We] are spending a lot of time on [cryptocurrencies,] both [on an] inter agency basis and with the regulators," Mnuchin said in response to a question from New Hampshire senator Maggie Hassan. "We are about to roll out some significant new requirements." According to the treasury secretary, while President Donald Trump's administration wants to "make sure that technology moves forward," it also wants to ensure that cryptocurrencies don't become the equivalent of "old Swiss secret number banking. Why It Matters July last year, the official expressed concerns about Facebook Inc.'s (NASDAQ: FB ) proposed Libra cryptocurrency project, saying it had the potential of being misused. "Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have been exploited to support billions of dollars of illicit activity like cybercrime, tax evasion, extortion, ransomware, illicit drugs, human trafficking," Mnuchin said at the time. "Many players have attempted to use cryptocurrencies to fund their malign behavior. This is indeed a national security issue," he added. President Trump expressed similar sentiments at the time, saying he's not a fan of "Bitcoin," or other cryptocurrencies, whose value is based on "thin air." ...and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 12, 2019 Mnuchin's comments also come at a time when other officials have hinted that the Federal Reserve is looking into the possibility of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and what it would entail. Story continues In a separate hearing last week, Fed chairperson Jerome Powell told the Congress that while there's a "lot to weigh and a lot to work on," the central bank is thinking about issuing a CBDC.

Also, Binance has volume. I had contacted an Australian Exchange (Independent Reserve) via twitter and email on several occasions over the past 2 years in hopes they would list Nano. They\'ve never been keen (belong to the pro-Bitcoin crowd) so their loss as it was only a matter of time before other exchanges would step up. \n\nBinance has done a really good job helping with adoption in recent months.\n\nRemember - once you buy it, get it off the exchange and into your crypto wallet of choice.

The space became a massive bubble and scam coins like Bitconnect stole the headlines. The space became less about tech and more about making money.\n\nThen the bubble started to burst and shortly after the Bitgrail exchange got hacked (one of the few sources of Nano at the time). Among the FUD of the falling Nano price, people blamed Nano instead of the exchange for their lost funds. A lawsuit formed against the Nano Foundation drained them of developer funds. Nano will win the suit and I'm hoping they choose to counter-sue for damages.\n\nGood news? Nano has by far the best grassroots community I've been a part of. It's a true coin for the people: no fees or inflation that go to huge Chinese mining corps, it fulfills the original goal of crypto by being a P2P currency, and it's fully distributed (no centralized dev team or company controlling the 50+% of the supply).

Bitcoin is often described as \x91digital gold\x92, with gold being a common hedge to global equity markets.

Both bullish scenarios are based on macro time-frames, whereas immediate price action is signalling a move to the downside.

However, it\x92s worth noting that Bitcoin has enjoyed a fruitful year to date with it still being 27% up since January 1. As a result, several analysts remain bullish on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies especially in light of recent turmoil in traditional markets. Bitcoin is often described as \x91digital gold\x92, with gold being a common hedge to global equity markets. As coronavirus sweeps across the globe at an alarming rate, economic instability is to be expected, and could well drive the price of Bitcoin to the upside.

A similar trend played out years ago when early Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX ) and Amazon.com, Inc.

In contrast, Wall Street analysts are always trying to "catch up" with Tesla's stock, Cramer said, adding that the most recent example comes courtesy of Bernstein's Toni Sacconaghi with a note titled "It's Hard To Win A Religious War." "This is basically a messianic situation and you have lapdog retail investors," Cramer said. Tesla Vs. Bitcoin Bitcoin maven Mike Novogratz said on "Bloomberg Markets" that Tesla is showing many similarities to digital coins. The electric automaker's stock is no longer built on any fundamentals; rather, it trades with the philosophy that "any good news is going to shoot it up." Tesla, much like Bitcoin, is based on a concept that is "so powerful it sucks everyone in," much like a bubble, he said. At the same time, there is nothing stopping the stock's upward momentum from continuing over time, Novogratz said. "I got cocky and tried to pick the top of a bubble and I got a black eye," he said. Novogratz said he is short Tesla's stock and expects to cover his position "without that much pain" in the coming days when shares reverse course. In the meantime, he said he still loves his two Tesla vehicles. The stock was trading 10.7% higher at $643.16 at the time of publication Thursday.

I will be mostly focusing on this map for examples, but the skills can be applied to other maps to relative success. This seems to be more applicable to Customs over because of it's linear nature. Also, I'm not talking about rushing over to another PMC spawn location and trying to get a cheeky kill. \n\n\nFirst off, this is an idea to play with once you already have a solid understanding of the map layout/extracts/loot/hot spots/etc. \n\n\nCustoms is a very linear map, at first glance it looks pretty open but there's a massive choke point at the train bridge near gas station (and the railroad north) that every player is required to cross if they want to use their guaranteed exfil location (ZB1011 or Customs area depending on spawn). This narrows down the number of routes that players will realistically take on their runs and leads to some pretty consistent player behavior. Basically everyone that spawns on the east is trying to get over to Customs/trailer park eventually, while PMCs that spawned in the west are trying to get to ZB-1011. Getting a feel of these patterns can make you better at whatever you're objective is for that run (avoiding fights or finding them). This isn't running away or towards gunfire, this is predicting where and when that gunfire is going to be before it happens. \n\n\nThis helps you make decisions about your movement to exploit these patterns, and make you more efficient in your navigation. It informs your risk matrix and lets you make more aggressive moves around the map instead of crab walking around looting duffle bags and listening for footsteps. It can turn rats into hyenas, and chads into wrecking balls. \n\n\nEarly Game (35 min-25ish min remaining): \nKnow your spawns, know where the most likely PMC spawns near you, engage or avoid based on preference. Dorms/Big Red / the cross between shipping yard and ZB-1011 area will be hot zones skirmishes breaking out. (Sub-Station can also be contentious at this point if the PMC that has the best dorms spawn chooses not to go there). If you're goal is to avoid early fights, you can rush to RUAF roadblock from the west spawns to farm the group of scavs and sniper. the east can stay in the warehouses or try to make an riskier play to military checkpoint. \n\n\nI tend to play the early game very passively. 35 minutes is a long time and I don't need to open 30 boxes if I can just shoot one guy instead. I'll grab hidden stashes as I slowly clear a zone, maybe kill a few scavs without making too much commotion, and listen for PMCs moving in my area for opportunistic early kills. \n\n\nMid Game (25-17ish minutes remaining): \nRemaining PMCs will most likely be near the middle of the map if they did not rush for an early exfil. Gas Station, Train bridge, and the woods east of dorms become high traffic areas. A great time to pick off geared players leaving dorms. Factory Shacks and construction can also be busy. A wave of player Scavs will enter the game around this time (some spawn much earlier but the majority of my scav runs drop me in during this window). They have their own tendencies but I'm not going to cover that here, just be aware that there will be some x-factors floating around in random locations. If you're ratting it up, you can look to clean up missed loot in the big red area or the far east warehouse with the weapon crates and key spawn with lower risk. Scav Checkpoint tends to be safer at this time to grab weapon parts and consumables. \n\n\nThis can either be the most boring part of your run or the most hectic. I feel pretty safe sprinting from the spawn areas to intermediate areas before the choke point. Sure you'll sometimes get bushwanked by someone who's slow playing, but we're working with probabilities and risk tolerance here. I look for long sightlines and vantage points into the middle of the map, this will be you best opportunity to engage geared PMCs leaving dorms (besides rushing into dorms of the break which is very high variance for an average player). Or if you're just ratting it up this will be your time to farm scavs in the spawn areas and clean up extra loot left behind. \n\n\nLate Game (17-10ish minutes remaining): \nTwo Words: Rat. Heaven. \nIf you arrive at dorms with 15 minutes remaining, the probability of walking in to an empty building full of rasha and his guard's corpses all half looted is hilariously high. You're not going to be grabbing any Beta 2s or bitcoins, but there is almost always abandoned AVS rigs, AK variants (attachments and all), Helmets (class 3/4), Commtacs, nades, magazines, ammo, meds, etc. The number of times I've walked out with 600k-1mil uncontested is shockingly high, especially given Custom's reputation of being a map with B or even C tier loot. If you bring Keys in, the chances of most if not all of the locked dorms aside from marked room seems to be about 70-80%. Even when arriving this late. Chads are mostly exfiled at this point, fights will be scattered and unpredictable but you'll still find people cleaning up bodies at gas station pretty often. \n\n\nI always go dorms in this timing window. An overwhelming majority of the time, I'm dealing with a couple AI or a player scav if not just walking into an empty building. If rashala was killed by the marked room rushers, you basically just punched your ticket. tetris it up and try to maximize profit per slot, listen for other rats looking for scraps. plan to leave when you've cleaned the place or there's about 10 minutes left giving you time to check gas station for late players or more loot. If the game flow doesn't allow you to get there, you can find kills near the extracts or on the map border while people try to scurry out \n\n\nSuper Late game (Less than 10 min remaining): \nThis is the part of the game that can take your good run to an amazing one, it can also be heartbreak o'clock. Most of the map will be picked through, but if you haven't made it to dorms and you have an exfil close to it it's worth checking. \n\n\nThe bread and butter of the super late game is trying to pick off the rats that are doing a lot of what I described above. Make-shit bridge and the pipe running from Gas station to Military checkpoint are great spots to ruin someone's raid and grab their perfectly organized bags of goodies. To a lesser extent, Land bridge south can have opportunities as well. \n\n\n \n\n\nI've ended putting in more of a step by step on how I like to play customs than intended, but the real point is to use player tendencies at certain timing windows to make decisions that fit your game plan. I know that fast players are often going to be leaving gas station heading west around 20-25 minutes remaining. I know I can happily sprint over to dorms at 12 min remaining and more often then not, my noise won't be exploited. This 'reckless' movement gives me more time to hit gas station after while still having time to exfil. At sub 8 minutes or so you're most likely dealing with at most 2-3 player scavs or PMCs in your half of the map and you can make moves much more aggressively and loot more greedily. Craft your strategy around these timings to make your runs more efficient, safer, or more action packed.\n\n \n\n\nTL;DR - Learn how players tend to move around the map along with the timing of WHEN they will most likely be in certain places to make better decisions.

Today's Key News: ['Most investors are aware of the potential for explosive returns with cryptocurrencies, but there’s another reason why they might deserve a home in your portfolio …\nToo much concentration in your portfolio can be dangerous.\nInvestors overly-concentrated in airline stocks have experienced this first-hand in the last two weeks.\nInvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips\nAs you likely know, the spread of coronavirus has global investors worried about the hit on profits for airlines. This has led to huge selling pressure on airline stocks.\nThe ETF “JETS” holds the biggest airlines in the world — Southwest, Delta, American, United, JetBlue, you name it.\nOver the prior two weeks, through Friday morning as I write, JETS has cratered 25% compared to the S&P’s 15% decline.\nEarlier this week in theDigest, we talked about the pain many investors feel when their portfolios are performing worse than the market. How would you like being down 67% more than the market right now?\nSo, how does an investor prevent this?\nYou’re probably already way ahead of me … Diversification.\nIn other words, you spread your wealth over a wide array of different assets. This is Investing 101.\nBut what might surprise you is which asset class has recently proven to be a powerful diversifier …\nCryptocurrencies.\nIf you’ve been following Matt McCall and his research in the crypto space, you know there’s a lot to be excited about today. After all, historical crypto performance suggests the upcoming halvening this spring could bring gains in the thousands of percent to bitcoin and elite altcoins.\nBut today, let’s look at a less-discussed reason to own some cryptocurrencies — their role as a diversifier in your portfolio.\nAs you’ll see, since the coronavirus reared its head roughly nine weeks ago, having some of your wealth in quality cryptocurrencies would have left you in far better shape than having your money 100% in the stock market … and this is true despite crypto’s increased volatility and recent pullback.\nToday, let’s jump into the details.\n*The crypto space isn’t just about moonshots\nAsk your average investor why anyone should own a cryptocurrency and the answer will likely boil down to one thing — a chance to hit a homerun and score an outrageous return, potentially, thousands of percent.\nThat’s true.\nTo illustrate, here’s Matt from his service,Ultimate Crypto, discussing the returns of bitcoin and various altcoins during past halvenings.\n(If you’re new to theDigestand aren’t sure what a halvening is, it’s a unique event in the crypto world in which bitcoin “miners” see their reward for mining new bitcoin cut in half. Huge gains have surrounded the past two halvening events.)\nReturning to Matt:\nLooking back over the last two halvenings, investing in specific altcoins would have made significantly more money.\nDuring the same period in which bitcoin climbed 4,500% surrounding the second halving, an altcoin called Einsteinium shot up over 580,000%. That’s 129 times the gains bitcoin made investors during its massive run. For perspective, that would have turned $5,000 into $29 million. Talk about a life-changing investment.\nIf that doesn’t excite you, try this: Another altcoin called verge shot up over 63,000%. That’s more than 630 times your investment!\nBut the potential for moonshot returns isn’t the only reason to own cryptos today. Let’s return to the lesser-known benefit of how cryptos can help diversify your portfolio.\nThe nuts and bolts of diversification\nWhen you have a diversified portfolio, you own different assets that respond to various market conditions in different ways. One zigs while another zags. In other words, you want assets that are uncorrelated — they don’t all rise or fall in unison.\nBack to Matt:\nThe current market environment highlights more reasons why cryptos should be part of a well-diversified portfolio. First, of course, is the potential to make a lot of money off them …\nSecond, cryptos’ performance is largely uncorrelated to the stock market. That means the sector doesn’t trade in sync with the market. It trades mostly on its own. Right now is a great example of what cryptos can add to a portfolio.\nSo, what is Matt talking about?\nWell, CIX100 is a basket of the 100 largest crypto-coins in the market. As of Matt’s issue that published on Tuesday, the CIX100 was up 16.4% over the prior 30 days. Over that same period, the S&P was down 5.25%.\nOne zigs, the other zags.\nIf we zero in on bitcoin specifically, comparing it to the S&P, we see another illustration of widely-variant returns.\nChinese authorities originally reported the first coronavirus case on December 31. Below, you’ll see bitcoin’s market performance compared to the S&P 500 since then.\nWhile the S&P is down 10%, bitcoin is up 20%.\nWe see the same correlation benefit (or “lack of correlation” benefit) if we look at smaller altcoins.\nIn Matt’sUltimate Cryptoportfolio, he currently holds six altcoins. As of his new issue on Tuesday, these coins were up an average of 32.8% in just seven weeks — and again, that’s while the S&P has been suffering.\nAs I look at Matt’s portfolio here on Friday morning, all the recommendations are still up, and I’m still specific gains of 94%, 31%, and 26%, among others.\nNow, let’s be clear about the point we’re making …\nA crypto skeptic will say “fine, cryptos may still be up, but they’ve pulled back substantially in the last few days.”\nThat’s absolutely true. And it’s a reason why any investor’s allocation to cryptocurrencies needs to be sensible, and in keeping with his/her risk profile.\nBut a few additional responses …\nOne, while it’s fantastic that Matt’s crypto recommendations are doing so well collectively, the point of today’sDigestis that they’re performingindependentlyof the broad stock market — again, the diversification element. The fact that cryptos have pulled back over the last week or so in no way diminishes this.\nTwo, volatility in the space should hardly be a surprise. That’s the nature of this asset class. Plus, by definition, you can’t separate downward volatility from upward volatility.\nIt’s funny how people tend to equate “volatility” with “falling prices.” But volatility simply refers to the variance of returns — so, there’s also “good, upward” volatility (which no one complains about) … and cryptos have had a lot of that so far in 2020.\nAs we noted in aDigestlast week, as of earlier in February when bitcoin was pushing 42% higher on the year, many altcoins were enjoying even bigger gains. At February highs, Bitcoin SV had popped 209% since the turn of the year. Bitcoin cash tacked on 113%, and dash added 195%. Meanwhile, crypto-favorites Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin tacked on 60%, 47%, and 78% respectively, as of earlier this month.\nIf we’re going to enjoy this type of upward volatility, we have to be prepared for the inevitable downward volatility too.\nThe homerun potential of altcoins\nEven though today’sDigestis intended to highlight the diversification benefit of cryptocurrencies, let’s end with a hat-tip to the primary reason we own them — the potential for outrageous returns.\nWhere do we stand today with that?\nBack to Matt:\nAll signs continue to point to higher crypto prices in the coming weeks and months, no matter what stocks do …\nPeople in the know are getting ready for the halvening that will occur in mid-May, just as we are. But most investors are still in the dark. As the buzz picks over up the next couple of months, there is a great chance that bitcoin will rally through its all-time high set in 2017. That would be a 100%+ gain from today’s prices.\nWhy am I talking about bitcoin when it is not even in our Ultimate Crypto portfolio? Well, as goes bitcoin, so go a lot of the altcoins. Bitcoin is up about 30% this year, when many altcoins are up more … and some up well into the triple digits.\nIf history repeats itself and bitcoin rallies into and through the halvening, smaller altcoins will do even better. That’s why we have six top-rated altcoins in the portfolio … and why they have outperformed bitcoin since the creation of the portfolio.\nMatt is so bullish on his altcoins that’s he raising his buy limits on several of them. You see, Matt’s initial recommendation timing was spot-on, so in the days following his recommendations, his altcoins blew past his buy-limit prices.\nBut given his continuing research in the space, Matt is bullish enough to up the buy-price for some of his coins. That, combined with this recent pullback, makes four of his coins actionable at the time of this writing. To learn more,click here.\nStepping back, the last few days in the market illustrates why a diversified portfolio is needed to help reduce portfolio drawdowns and soothe frayed nerves. And it turns out, the crypto world offers such a diversification benefit … on top of its homerun potential.\nIf you haven’t considered a small allocation to altcoins for your portfolio, give it a look.\nHave a good evening,\nJeff Remsburg\nThe postThe Surprising Benefit of Altcoinsappeared first onInvestorPlace.', 'Most investors are aware of the potential for explosive returns with cryptocurrencies, but there\x92s another reason why they might deserve a home in your portfolio \x85 Too much concentration in your portfolio can be dangerous.

The cryptocurrency started the month at $7,208, according to data by CoinMarketCap and finished the month yesterday on $9,395. That's a gain of more than 30%. That last time Bitcoin performed this well in the first month of the year was in 2013, where it saw a 54.50% rally. Looking back over other years, Bitcoin's January performance has been split equally between rises and falls. While 2013 was the currency's biggest gain, 2015 saw the coin's price drop 32% in one month, and in 2018, by 29%. But this year is different. In fact, Bitcoin's price came just short of beating its three month high of $9,488 recorded on November 4. So what's got the price heading in this direction? There have been several reasons. Earlier in the month, Bitcoin watchers pointed to the US's sudden drone strike against one of Iran's leading generals as the reason for Bitcoin's steady climb out of its low point of $6,597 recorded on December 17. Within hours of the attack, the price of Bitcoin (along with oil prices) shot up to $7,339. While traditional assets like oil and gold see price rises during periods of uncertainty, Bitcoin has been historically less predictable when it comes to similar geopolitical events. Instead, several industry leaders—including e-Toro’s Mati Greenspan and Matthew Graham of Sino Global Capital—believe the currency’s price is growing because Iranians are buying up Bitcoin as the political environment heats up. But within a week, theprice of bitcoin had cooled. Next, Bitcoin watchers looked to the Chinese New Year as another cause of the coin's continued rise. But historically, the opposite has been true. Chinese New Year often falls at the same time as a price dump and increased market volatility. The reason, according to some, lies with the tradition of Hóngbāo, which roughly translates to "red package." Every year, millions of red envelopes containing cash are given out as gifts to friends and families. Bitcoin hodlers could, in theory, exchange their Bitcoin for cash for the occasion. Such a sustained sell-off could be sufficient to change the dynamics of supply and demand such that supply outstrips demand, causing Bitcoin prices to tumble as exchange volume drops. But the opposite was true. Across the period, there wasn't the big sell-off like there had been in previous years. Some have suggested theCorona Virushas hampered people's ability to spend time with family. The last and possibly the most plausible reason for Bitcoin's stellar January is the Halvening. In May of this year, the reward for mining a block on the Bitcoin network will half from its current 12.5 BTC to just 6.25 BTC per block. Some believe this reduction in the number of Bitcoin being produced will cause the price to go up. Some have suggested in anticipation of the event, the price has startled to tick upwards.Tyler and Cameron Winklevossspoke confidently about the Halvening being "big for Bitcoin". But like anything crypto, for every opinion, there is an equal and opposite one saying something completely different.

This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.33% to $8,675.3. A choppy start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $8,547.0 before striking a high $8,716.5. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a bullish start to the day for the majors.

For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move back through to $8,700 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $8,741.23 back into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the morning high $8,716.5. Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely pin Bitcoin back on the day. In the event of a crypto rally, the second major resistance level at $8,920.97 and resistance at $9,000 could come into play. Failure to move back through $8,700 levels could see Bitcoin hit reverse. A fall back through to sub-$8,650 levels would bring the first major support level at $8,469.53 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should well steer clear of the second major support level at $8,365.2 and the 23.6% FIB of $8,200.

I was curious about just how widespread this belief is: “Tech bubble” has doubled on Google Trends this year alone; Google News generates more than 3.6 million hits for the phrase.(1) Defining a bubble isn't too hard and one will do as good as another. “A market phenomenon characterized by surges in asset prices to levels significantly above the fundamental value of that asset. Bubbles are often hard to detect in real time because there is disagreement over the fundamental value of the asset,” Nasdaq says. So let's turn to the pro-bubble argument: It has been a decade since the financial crisis and two decades since the dot-com implosion. That's enough time for people to have forgotten the trauma of that disaster. Since the Great Recession ended, there has been too much capital sloshing around, leading to excessive tech valuations. And not just in public equities, but in private markets, too. Unicorns and other SoftBank Vision Fund debacles have imploded, an early warning sign for publicly traded companies, the argument goes. Central banks have made the bubble worse, providing cheap capital that has artificially inflated profits. The bubble advocates also urge us not to overlook the impact of these low borrowing costs on the surge in share buybacks; reducing the total amount of a public company’s shares outstanding has the effect of making earnings per share look better. Then there are the anecdotes: Tesla’s stock has more than doubled in the past three months, and the company now has a market value of more than $165 billion -- higher than Volkswagen, General Motors and Ford combined. This is to say nothing of the companies valued at more than $1 trillion, such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google parent Alphabet. But let's also be generous and acknowledge that some things do look overvalued, whether it's Bitcoin (maybe), WeWork (obviously) or Tesla (I'm not getting in the middle of that one). Story continues But here's the thing: None of that is proof of a stock-market bubble. Let's look at some themes and issues to demonstrate why this is so: Business models: In the 1990s, the internet captivated the collective imagination of investors, too many of whom indiscriminately threw cash at anything with dot-com attached to it. The 2000 collapse taught investors that it took more than a high-concept idea to make a stock worth buying: growth and future cash flow matter a lot, too. The collapse of WeWork’s initial public offering last year brought this home once again. Investors realized that renting out office space short term while locking the company into long-term, expensive real-estate leases was a terrible business model. Public investors grasped this flaw -- something private investors seemingly failed to understand -- and the market worked the way it's supposed to. Revenue and earnings: Unlike the dot-coms of the '90, today's tech businesses are gigantic cash machines. Apple posted fourth-quarter revenue of $91.8 billion and net income of $22.2 billion. Without much fanfare, Microsoft's revenue grew 14% in the latest quarter, to $36.9 billion, while net income surged 38% to $11.6 billion. Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook all continue to mint revenues and profits. These companies also have accumulated hundreds of billions of dollars in cash. This is not the profitless tech boom of the 1990s. Sentiment: Maybe there is some excessive optimism. But that isn't the same as the full-blown delusion that bubbles produce. Talk of bubbles is offset by chatter about recession: Remember that less a year ago investors were anticipating a downturn and in the fourth quarter of 2018 major market indexes fell 20%, meeting the normal definition of a bear market, however brief. Meanwhile, the American Association of Individual Investors Bullish Readings index is 40.6, which is just a hair above the average reading of 39.5 for the past 25 years. Performance: Broad market performance is robust, but not crazy. Last’s year's 31% gain in the S&P 500 is misleading: most of that simply reflected the rebound from the 2018 fourth-quarter tumble cited above. So let's take a step back and consider the S&P 500 since 2015: It has had annual gains of 11.8%, for a total cumulative five-year return of 75%. Before fintwits howl “Now do the Nasdaq,” here it is: 17.6% annually and cumulative total returns of 125%. Fine, good, but not bubble material. Now compare those figures with the five years before the market peaked in March 2000: The Nasdaq generated annual returns of 60% and a five-year total return of 946% during that period, while the S&P 500 gained 25% annually and 211% for the five years. This is obvious, right? Sure, there are pockets of excessive optimism and foolishness in markets. There always are. But there also are lots of companies that are not participating in this bull-market rally. Those who were around in the 1990s know what a real bubble looks like: This isn't it.

Today's Key News: ['NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2020 / In just the first month of 2020, stablecoins are demonstrating their relevance and strength in the rapidly fluctuating blockchain industry. On January 12, STAE launched decentralized stablecoins USDB and CNHB collateralized by either ETH or BTC. They can be tied to either the USD or the CNH(Chinese Yuan in Hongkong) by the minter. These stablecoins are finding immediate use in online gaming platforms and other mobile payment scenarios. Later in January, Tether Gold was launched, a stablecoin backed by physical gold reserves held in Sweden. Almost at the same time, Bytom Blockchain also has announced plans in a white paper for a decentralized stablecoin which is similar as STAE\'s products on infrastructure. Second, the end of January it was said JP Morgan\'s own blockchain unit Quorum is merging with Ethereum software developer ConsenSys, a deal expected to finalize in the third quarter this year. Industry insiders speculate that this merger is for the next development of the previously launched JPM Coin. Facebook\'s ambitious Libra project, IBM, Busan Bank, Rizal Commercial Bank, and a handful of other companies signed a letter of intent to issue a stablecoin using the IBM payment network. These developments are the latest examples of IBM, Facebook, and other traditional industries choosing stablecoins as their entry point into the blockchain industry. Following this trend, central banks around the world are planning the launch of their own stablecoins. Reuters reports that the French central bank has announced their own project to be launched in the first quarter this year and has urged the European Central Bank to issue digital currencies as soon as possible. It is also anticipated that China will launch DCEP later this year, a combination of digital currencies and electronic payment instruments to replace cash in certain payment scenarios. Blockdata\'s 2019 report titled "An Overview of the Current State of Stablecoins" surveyed 226 stablecoin projects, 66 of which were launched, and 134 being under development, and 26 closed projects. Story continues Although there is no consensus on how these surviving projects will fare, there seems to be a consensus that there are simply too many stablecoins. The Two Paths While stablecoins have certainly seen use within cryptocurrency exchanges, there is no clear path for mainstream adoption yet. A notable exception is STAE, which recently launched two decentralized stablecoins tied to the USD and the CNH(Chinese Yuan in Hongkong). Grant Baker, Chief Innovation Officer at STAE and author of the 2019 Blockchain Compliance Paper , believes that anti money laundering rules make it difficult for stablecoins to replace fiat in day-to-day life. "While stablecoins provide shelter for cryptocurrency investors during times of turbulence, they haven\'t seen much usage elsewhere. We anticipate this will change when Singapore begins issuing licenses and regulating stablecoin issuers this year. Decentralized stablecoins will likely be a very practical application of blockchain and that\'s what we\'re focusing on." The philosophy of practical application seems to be working. Already, STAE has forged partnerships with Southeast Asia\'s top two online gaming companies. During the 2 nd quarter of this year, more than a thousand online gaming applications will accept STAE\'s stablecoins USDB and CNHB, tied to the USD and CNH(Chinese Yuan in Hongkong) respectively. STAE is also looking at key Southeast Asian markets such as tourism. Blockchain professionals have commented that the decision of stablecoins projects to emulate fiat currency instead of precious commodities such as gold has been a successful move, if adoption is any indication. Competing Stablecoin Issuance Stablecoin issuance is usually backed by real assets such as cash or gold held by a central issuer or collateralized by digital assets with no central issuer. USDT is a dominant player in this market, making up roughly 80% of market share. However, there have been recent controversies regarding the veracity of claims regarding the real assets held by issuers. For example, Tether, USDT\'s issuer, encountered a crisis of trust in October 2018 causing a 15% price plummet. In April 2019, the New York Attorney General\'s Office accused the Bitfinex platform of misappropriating $850 million of Tether\'s reserve funds to fill funding gaps, creating an epic blame game between Tether and the Bitfinex parent company iFinex. Despite making a big splash initially, decentralized stablecoins backed by digital assets have faded from popularity over the past year, but that trend may be reversing thanks to the increased emphasis on trust. MakerDao\'s single asset collateral model and STAE\'s multi-asset collateral model, due to the smart contract\'s automated payouts and USDT\'s trust issues, are gaining momentum in the blockchain industry. A Threat to Stablecoins? The term "License" is the dread in the back of the mind of every stablecoin project. With the rising influence and scale of stablecoins, governments and international organizations are giving stablecoins extra scrutiny, casting a long shadow over the attempts of stablecoin projects to integrate with traditional banking infrastructure. The International Monetary Fund released a paper in 2019 called "The Rise of Digital Money" , calling for the supervision of stablecoins over money laundering and terror financing concerns. Compliance has quickly become the foremost concern of stablecoin projects. Singapore\'s Payment Services Act came into force in January 2020, bringing many blockchain projects seeking legal legitimacy to the application line in the small island nation. The Payment Services Act strictly follows the anti-money laundering recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force. The prevailing expectation is that stablecoins legitimized by a globally recognized licensing system will flourish. Reliable issuers, auditing systems, and mature regulatory frameworks are all indispensable to this end.

Jared Maples, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness Director, has said domestic terror groups are likely to ramp up their use of the cryptocurrency to fund their nefarious activities. He was joined by Anti-Defamation League Senior Vice President George Selim and Congressional Research Service finance expert Rena Miller. The trio predicted that with the rise of crypto awareness, it will become more widely used by white supremacists and other hate groups. Infamous crypto sceptic Congressman Brad Sherman was in agreement, saying : “If it works for Hamas, it will work for the Nazis too.” BTC use on the rise Maples likewise referenced Hamas and suggested domestic terrorists had taken a page out of its playbook in using Bitcoin for both secrecy and privacy. He alleged there had been a $60,000 donation in BTC given to Andrew Anglin, publisher of far-right media outlet The Daily Stormer, following the attack in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. When asked about how to counter terror groups, Maples said it was important to be mindful and to “get the processes right”. Interestingly, it isn’t just Bitcoin they are using to finance their attacks. Recent reports suggest as many as 54 white supremacist groups are utilising Apple’s iTunes, earning roughly 70 cents for each song downloaded on the music platform. Selim has recommended agencies pursue more rigorous prosecutions of domestic terror funding sources and utilise data from various fields such as finance, technology, civil rights, and civil liberties groups alongside studying new forms of money such as digital currencies.

A former contractor for the U.S. and adviser to governments and indigenous peoples concerning disruptive technologies for the legal sector, he has advised blockchain companies in Asia.\nIn the heyday of cryptomania, when everyone was investing in any idea that had the word “blockchain” attached to it, there was much speculation about the end of the state. Distributed ledger technology would not only bring about the demise of intermediaries like big technology platforms and overfed financial institutions, but it would also challenge the primacy of the sovereign state itself. Decentralization would mean that the democratic process could be more horizontal, more responsive, more direct and more efficient.\nBlockchain technologies and the cryptocurrencies built thereon were also set to challenge the monopoly that states have maintained on currency. Traditionally, the creation, printing and control of legal tender has been an activity strictly reserved for states. The development of state-sanctioned, sovereign-backed cryptocurrencies, however, have meant that the state is not out yet. Not by a long shot.\nRelated:Algorand Blockchain Chosen as Underlying Tech for Marshall Islands’ Digital Currency\nA handful of countries have entered the brave new world of sovereign digital currencies. The biggest and most ambitious central bank digital currency project is China’s Digital Currency/Electronic Payment (DC/EP). On Oct. 24, 2019, a day now called “China Blockchain Day,” President Xi Jinping announced his country’s blockchain strategy and the rollout of its new state-sanctioned cryptocurrency project. While many major financial leaders feared being the first movers, China studied blockchain for years while outlawing cryptocurrencies. Again and again, China banned Initial Coin Offerings and cryptocurrency exchanges. The country’s law enforcement authorities even deterred Chinese hotels from hosting crypto-oriented conferences.\nWhen Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg warned Congress it had better support the social media company get its Libra digital currency to market lest China get a head start, the bureaucrats in China moved into high gear. Within months, they launched the DC/EP plan with initial testing in Suzhou and Shenzhen. The system’s strength is its interoperability and the fact one does not have to be online to use it. That it is linked to the Chinese national currency – theyuanorrenminbi– does not hurt either. By layering insurance, health care, finance, energy and consumer purchasing into one unified public blockchain, there will be economies of scale and more efficient distribution of private and public goods.

Its price has stayed in the $1,600 range so far this week and made a small gain Wednesday, up over $6 to $1,641 per troy ounce at press time. “The fact that BTC could not rally in the face of the advance by gold prices and drop in equities was a ‘tell,’’” professional commodities trader Peter Brandt wrote in a recenttweet. Other notable cryptocurrencies are also down, includingbitcoin cash(BCH),ether(ETH) andXRP(XRP), with 24-hour losses of 11 percent, 10 percent and 9 percent, respectively, on Wednesday at 17:45 UTC. • Over $190M in Bitcoin Liquidated on BitMEX Amid Crypto Market Sell-Off • Bitcoin Drove Half of Square’s Cash App Revenue in the 4th Quarter • Coinbase Wallet Adds Short, Customizable Addresses to Simplify Sending Cryptos... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Finpla', '[OFFER] I created a web app to instantly notify you about new posts in r/slavelabour, r/free and r/jobs4bitcoins, r/forhire and others, based on keywords managed by you', 102, '2020-03-03 01:23', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/slavelabour/comments/fclz3s/offer_i_created_a_web_app_to_instantly_notify_you/', "# 50% off, until March 10 I will be giving 300 notifications for 1 USD!\n\nHello, I noticed that it's hard to be the first to `$bid` in a post here at r/slavelabour, but also the same applies for other subs like r/free and r/jobs4bitcoins, etc. Because of this I made [Slave Notificator](https://slave-notificator.herokuapp.com), it will notify you immediately about posts that interests you based on the keywords managed by you [here](https://slave-notificator.herokuapp.com/keywords_configs/edit) via a private message in Reddit or an Email.\n\nFor now the subreddits I consider in my web app are:\n\n* r/beermoney\n* r/forhire\n* r/free\n* r/freebies\n* r/hungryartists\n* r/jobs4bitcoins\n* r/slavelabour\n\nConsiderations\n\n1.

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: ['Jill Carlson, a CoinDesk columnist, is co-founder of the Open Money Initiative, a non-profit research organization working to guarantee the right to a free and open financial system. She is also an investor in early stage startups with Slow Ventures. People think I got into bitcoin (BTC) because I have a high risk tolerance. Actually, I got in because I have a low risk tolerance for worst-case scenarios. Related: With Freedom at Stake, More Hongkongers See Bitcoin’s Unique Value Bitcoin is often touted as a risky bet. It is nascent. It has only been around for about a decade. It is poorly understood by mass markets. It is an experiment. It could still fail. All of these claims are true. In many ways, the risk profile of bitcoin resembles that of an early stage startup. Bitcoin appears to be hovering between the trough of disillusionment and the slope of enlightenment. This means that most people continue to view cryptocurrency as kind of crazy. It’s a gamble. The road to having bitcoin understood and viewed as a safe haven is a long one, demanding deep investment in education. These dynamics mean that investors often bucket bitcoin as a risk asset. It gets put in the same category as high-growth stocks, high-yield debt, high-beta exchange-traded funds, venture capital investments and emerging markets. Markets broadly have two modes: risk-on and risk-off. In risk-on scenarios, when markets are confident and things are moving higher, risk assets tend to outperform safe havens. When the markets are risk-off, safe-haven assets like gold, treasury bonds and cash fare better, and are often the only investments trading higher as investors sell out of their riskier positions. Related: Tron’s Takeover of Steemit Is Internet History Repeating Itself Whether a financial product is a risk asset or a safe haven depends on a number of properties. In some cases it depends on the fundamentals of the asset. Share price is a reflection of the projected future cash flows of the business, which in turn depend on dynamics like customer demand. The dynamics can make companies more or less subject to movements of the markets. In other cases, the categorization of a given asset might depend on supply and demand dynamics. Gold, with its relatively fixed supply and consistent demand from entities like central banks, is resilient to market cycles and downward shocks. In all cases, however, I would argue that what matters most in understanding asset correlations and behavior is market perception. Do traders and investors view the asset as a good place to hunker down in volatile markets? Or do market participants view the investment as vulnerable to the downside, but also prime to participate in boom cycles? Story continues The markets certainly still seem to view bitcoin as the latter. And as far as the price of bitcoin is concerned, and as far as any market correlations are concerned, that perception is all that matters. This perception misses bitcoin’s most important properties. Bitcoin is, in many ways, the ultimate safe haven asset. It can be self-custodied, so even when systems of trust and rule of law breaks down, it can be held. It is open and borderless, with relatively liquid markets in every country in the world.

This means that most people continue to view cryptocurrency as kind of crazy. It’s a gamble.\nThe road to having bitcoin understood and viewed as a safe haven is a long one, demanding deep investment in education.\nThese dynamics mean that investors often bucket bitcoin as a risk asset. It gets put in the same category as high-growth stocks, high-yield debt, high-beta exchange-traded funds, venture capital investments and emerging markets.\nMarkets broadly have two modes: risk-on and risk-off. In risk-on scenarios, when markets are confident and things are moving higher, risk assets tend to outperform safe havens. When the markets are risk-off, safe-haven assets like gold, treasury bonds and cash fare better, and are often the only investments trading higher as investors sell out of their riskier positions.\nRelated:Tron’s Takeover of Steemit Is Internet History Repeating Itself\nWhether a financial product is a risk asset or a safe haven depends on a number of properties. In some cases it depends on the fundamentals of the asset. Share price is a reflection of the projected future cash flows of the business, which in turn depend on dynamics like customer demand. The dynamics can make companies more or less subject to movements of the markets. In other cases, the categorization of a given asset might depend on supply and demand dynamics. Gold, with its relatively fixed supply and consistent demand from entities like central banks, is resilient to market cycles and downward shocks. In all cases, however, I would argue that what matters most in understanding asset correlations and behavior is market perception. Do traders and investors view the asset as a good place to hunker down in volatile markets? Or do market participants view the investment as vulnerable to the downside, but also prime to participate in boom cycles?\nThe markets certainly still seem to view bitcoin as the latter. And as far as the price of bitcoin is concerned, and as far as any market correlations are concerned, that perception is all that matters.\nThis perception misses bitcoin’s most important properties. Bitcoin is, in many ways, the ultimate safe haven asset. It can be self-custodied, so even when systems of trust and rule of law breaks down, it can be held. It is open and borderless, with relatively liquid markets in every country in the world. It is censorship-resistant, meaning no government nor institution can, practically speaking, prevent investment or transaction in bitcoin. Bitcoin has a fixed supply, much like gold.

In an area that was synonymous with generating a lot of headlines around cryptocurrency speculation, this was a shift in focus, looking instead at the architecture behind Bitcoin, Ethereum and the rest, and how it could be used for more than just "mining," distributing and using new financial instruments -- with a major, mainstream VC backing the idea, no less. Dfinity launched with a very lofty goal: to build what it called the Internet Computer: a decentralized and non-proprietary network to run the next generation of mega-applications. It dubbed this public network Cloud 3.0. Now, it looks like this Cloud is now about to break. In Davos this week, Dfinity launched the Bronze edition of its Internet Computer, a limited release that takes the startup one step closer to its full commercial release, expected later this year. And to prove out the concept of how an application would run on its new network, Dfinity today demonstrated an open social network called LinkedUp. The startup has rather cheekily called this an open version of LinkedIn, the Microsoft-owned social network for professionals. Unlike LinkedIn, LinkedUp, which runs on any browser, is not owned or controlled by a corporate entity. LinkedUp is built on Dfinitys so-called Internet Computer, its name for the platform it is building to distribute the next generation of software and open internet services. The software is hosted directly on the internet on a Switzerland-based independent data center, but in the concept of the Internet Computer, it could be hosted at your house or mine: the compute power to run the application -- LinkedUp, in this case -- is coming not from Amazon AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure, but is instead based on the distributed architecture that Dfinity is building. Story continues Specifically, Dfinity notes that when enterprises and developers run their web apps and enterprise systems on the Internet Computer, the content is decentralized across a minimum of four or a maximum of an unlimited number of nodes in Dfinity's global network of independent data centers. And while the company initially was described as a blockchain-based system, that's also had some refinement. A spokesperson describes the Internet Computer as a "next-generation distributed computing system similar to its Mainframe, Client Server, and Public Cloud predecessors" that is based on cryptography. "While DFINITY is not building a traditional blockchain/smart contract platform, it uses advanced cryptography in its consensus layer [of the Internet Computer stack] to ensure apps and workloads have the same security guarantees as Bitcoin or Ethereum," the spokesperson added, "but its network of independent data centers ensures the speed and scale required by corporates and entrepreneurs." The Internet Computer also has governance tokens to ensure the ownership of the technology is distributed, he said. LinkedUp is a test case for all of this, and so Dfinity is open-sourcing LinkedUp for developers to create other types of open internet services on the structure it has built. This "open social network for professional profiles" suggests that, on Dfinitys model, one could create an "Open WhatsApp," "Open eBay," "Open Salesforce" or "Open Facebook." (Good news, since LinkedIn might not be so happy about a lookalike service with a name and layout that also looks very familiar, were it to go much further as a commercial endeavor. "While we cant comment specifically on any proposed trademark, LinkedIn does monitor and take action as necessary to protect our trademarks," a spokesperson said.) Big tech has hijacked the internet and stifled innovation by owning the proprietary infrastructure and user relationships,'' said Dominic Williams, founder and chief scientist at Dfinity in a statement. As a result, a handful of for-profit companies have created a monopolistic and closed internet. The Internet Computer provides a means to rebuild internet services in open form." So perhaps what we should be calling this is not LinkedUp, but more a new sort of Linux for the cloud. Dfinity claims the application was built by 1.5 engineers in three weeks," thus demonstrating how easy the infrastructure is to use. The tools include a Canister Software Developer Kit and a simple programming language called Motoko that is optimized for Dfinitys Internet Computer. "The Internet Computer is conceived as an alternative to the $3.8 trillion legacy IT stack, and empowers the next generation of developers to build a new breed of tamper-proof enterprise software systems and open internet services. We are democratizing software development," Williams said. "The Bronze release of the Internet Computer provides developers and enterprises a glimpse into the infinite possibilities of building on the Internet Computer which also reflects the strength of the Dfinity team we have built so far. Dfinity says its Internet Computer Protocol allows for a new type of software called autonomous software, which can guarantee permanent APIs that cannot be revoked. When all these open internet services (e.g. open versions of WhatsApp, Facebook, eBay, Salesforce, etc.) are combined with other open software and services it creates mutual network effects where everyone benefits. We quizzed Dfinity a little more on all this and asked whether this was an actual launch. A spokesperson told us: Since our first major milestone of launching a terminal-based SDK and new programming language called Motoko by the co-creator of WebAssembly on 1 November, DFINITY has released 13 new public versions of the SDK, to our second major milestone [at WEF Davos] of demoing a decentralized web app called LinkedUp on the Internet Computer running on an independent data center in Switzerland. Subsequent milestones towards the public launch of the Internet Computer will involve (1) on-boarding a global network of independent data centers, (2) fully tested economic system, and (3) fully tested Network Nervous Systems for configuration and upgrades. It also looks like Dfinity will not be raising more money just yet. But the question is how they plan to woo people to it? "Dfinity has been working with a select group of Fortune 500 companies, strategic consultancies, systems integrators, venture capitalists, and universities," the company said. We are not sure that it will quite suffice to take out Facebook, LinkedIn, and all the other tech giants, but we're fascinated to see how this plays out.... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

However, a new sector report by Edison Investment Research highlights a concerted surge in investment by major players across many sectors, fuelled by improving security and scalability as well as evolving regulation. From 2020 onwards, Edison expects DLT adoption to accelerate. Which means the technology is likely to finally deliver against its early promise to disrupt the financial services industry.New asset classes are likely to emerge in relatively short timeframes. Download the full report here Blockchain supports a new asset class As well as supporting the emergence of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, DLT can be used to tokeniseother assets - such as shares and real estate - as well as create new assets that are digital representations of traditional securities. Until now, investment in digital assets has been a mainly retail phenomenon.But with the introduction of new regulations and start-ups professionalising their operations, institutions are making their move. Potential to disrupt existing processes DLT has the potential to replace many processes in the financial sector, including clearance, settlement, trade finance and data management. Whilst it has the benefit of reducing back-office costs and improving transaction speeds, DLTmay also reduce income streams from intermediary roles. As a partial balance, Edison sees new opportunities for services which certify the accuracy of data before entering the blockchain - as well as subsequent monitoringto keep the real assets underlying the tokens safe. Story continues Early-stage market; incumbents starting to enter The tokenisation of assets remains at an early stage, with most projects taking the form of pilots orsmall-scale trials. However, traditional financial services businesses are starting to enter the market, alongside a plethora of start-ups. Edison now expects a gradual transition to the use of blockchain, starting with use cases that have the strongest commercial rationales. Ultimately, we expect to see a shift towards asset tokenisation across a number of asset classes including non-listed equity, debt with small issue volumes and real estate. Strong interest from central banks in issuingdigital currencies further supports our belief that a tipping point has been reached in the institutional adoption of blockchain. Longer term, blockchain will reshape the industry At this early stage, we expect to see more partnerships between traditional financial institutions and digital asset specialists, and longer term we would expect to see incumbents acquiring the startups to access expertise and regulated businesses. Milosz Papst author of the report, said: "Blockchain technology is no longer just about cryptocurrency. As the sector surrounding the technology continues to evolve, new applications will continue to emerge. Investors can expect to see the financial services industry revolutionized as companies incorporate the technology into many parts of their operations. But this is still very much a new frontier, and only time will tell what the landscape will look like in a few decades time. If this were the internet's development, the year would be 1996."

Today's Key News: ['Bitcoin rose by 1.00% on Friday. Following on from a 3.44% rally on Thursday, Bitcoin ended the day at $9,180.6. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $9,011.3 before finding support. Steering clear of the first major support level at $8,857.43, Bitcoin rallied to a late morning intraday high $9,199.70. Falling short of the first major resistance level at $9,255.33, Bitcoin fell back to sub-$9,100 levels. Finding late support, however, Bitcoin bounced back to close out the day in positive territory. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin struggling to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bullish day for the crypto majors. Ethereum led the way, rallying by 7.42%. Binance Coin (+2.99%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+3.42%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+2.60%), Litecoin (+2.09%), Ripple’s XRP (+2.43%), Stellar’s Lumen (+2.78%), Tezos (+3.03%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.41%) also saw solid gains. Cardan’s ADA (+1.34%), EOS (+1.92%), and Monero’s XMR (+0.72%) trailed the pack. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to a Friday high $263.56bn from a Monday low $243.1. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $263.18bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back from 64% levels in the week as the broader market found support. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.2%. Trading volumes hit an early Tuesday high $187.15bn before falling back to sub-$130bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $137.34bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.62% to $9,124.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $9,183.6 to a low $9,121.8. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Story continues Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC and Monero’s XMR bucked the trend early on, rising by 0.30% and by 0.64% respectively. Tezos and Binance Coin led the way down early on, with losses of 1.89% and 1.55% respectively. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to steer clear of sub-$9,130 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,249.77. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Friday’s high $9,199.7. Barring an extended crypto rally, resistance at $9,200 would likely limit any upside on the day once more. In the event of a breakout, expect the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 and second major resistance level at $9,318.93 to come into play. Failure to hold above $9,130 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red A fall back through the morning low $9,121.8 would bring the first major support level at $9,061.37 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$9,000 levels on the day.

She formerly worked on blockchain with EY India and was a fellow on cryptocurrency regulation at the New America Foundation. Industry watchers cheered on March 6 when the Supreme Court of India struck down the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) ban on financial institutions providing banking services to cryptocurrency businesses. However, embedded in the text of the judgment are multiple red flags. In addition, a draft bill to ban cryptocurrencies, released on Feb. 28, 2019, could still move through Parliament. As analyzed by me previously, taken together, red flags in the court victory and the possibility of legislation moving forward mean that crypto’s legal status in India remains vulnerable. The fine print Related: Bitcoin, Bonds and Gold: Why Markets Are Upended in a Time of Fear A review of the 180-page judgment reveals the premises of the verdict are not in alignment with what the industry has assumed. In essence, the entire verdict hinges on the violation of one of the fundamental rights of the Indian constitution – Article 19 (1) (g), which guarantees the freedom to practice any profession. The Supreme Court concluded the RBI’s measure violated Article 19 (1) (g) for virtual currency exchanges, and that the prohibition measure was not proportional to the threat. The verdict also concluded the central bank had not substantiated the threat with empirical data or credibly examined alternative measures. However, one of the reasons the Supreme Court supported the industry was because there was “no law banning virtual currencies yet,” which implies the verdict would not stand once there is such a law. The court also referred to cryptocurrencies as a “by-product” of blockchain technology and said the government could separate the two. This refrain of segregating blockchain and crypto has been the premise behind most federal policy to date. Story continues Related: tZero-Affiliated Firm Hopes SEC Will Pass Updated Proposal for Security Token Platform In a detailed post-verdict analysis , I go over specific excerpts of the judgment, examine other red flags and discuss immediate possible reactions to the verdict. The industry has won a hard-fought battle, and we can expect to not see a similar reactive prohibition again. However, the clock is ticking on the response of the legislative branch, which could move soon to enact legislation. The central bank, however, can only move a successful appeal if it amasses credible evidence of a monetary risk from cryptocurrencies.

In addition, BCH is up close to 2% in the past 24 hours. Since the start of the new year, the price of BCH has risen $179 from about $190 to $369. In essence, BCH has grown nearly 100% since January 1, but it’s still well below its 2019 summer high. Will BCH start pushing higher again thanks to recent developments ? And if so, what are the next levels of support to look out for? Let’s take a look at the chart for Bitcoin Cash, courtesy of TradingView . Bitcoin Cash is showing extremely positive signs. Not only did the altcoin rebound spectacularly after last week’s downturn, but key levels are also being respected. BCH is also making strong gains against the market’s number-one cryptocurrency Bitcoin, as discussed yesterday . Bitcoin Cash had been falling since late September after it lost close to 50% in value in just a few days. After a swift recovery during November, the altcoin came crashing back down well below the 20-day EMA. Nevertheless, during December 2019, the market started to rebound. BCH has now crossed all its EMAs and has found support way above the 200-day EMA. As discussed last week , the next big resistance levels are virtually non-existent, so we could see Bitcoin Cash pumping towards $400 soon. Afterwards, we might see some resistance between $415 and $450. It all depends on the seriousness of buyers. In terms of volume, Bitcoin Cash is sitting at just above $3.8 billion – a little over half of early January’s volume. Perhaps it is too early to proclaim victory since volume is free falling. Next week, we’ll surely have more certainties regarding the upcoming altcoin season . Safe trades! BCH fundamentals I recently spoke with Bitcoin Cash’s strongest advocate, Roger Ver , and discussed the most recent developments on the horizon for BCH. You can find all the details here , but the most juicy news seems to be the recent spike in adoption due to the implementation of smart contracts. Story continues Roger, like myself, believes key components for mass adoption are speed and flexibility. What Bitcoin Cash Oracles offers is a way for any user to easily deploy an “escrow” transaction that can be used to trade globally – without the hassle of trusting the other party. I personally think these “trade escrows” will be key in terms of adoption, especially for work-related tasks. In a way, they do enable milestone-based funding, which may be the new and better way of conducting ICOs instead of simply creating an extra layer of complexity with STOs that require KYC and accreditation – something that goes against what we should be promoting within the crypto ecosystem. Current live BCH pricing information and interactive charts are available on our site 24 hours a day. The ticker bar at the bottom of every page on our site has the latest BCH price. Pricing is also available in a range of different currency equivalents: US Dollar – BCHtoUSD British Pound Sterling – BCHtoGBP Japanese Yen – BCHtoJPY Euro – BCHtoEUR Australian Dollar – BCHtoAUD Russian Rouble – BCHtoRUB Bitcoin – BCHtoBTC About Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin Cash was born out of the idea of making Bitcoin more practical for small, day-to-day payments. In May 2017, Bitcoin payments took about four days unless a fee was paid, which was proportionately too large for small transactions. A change to the code was implemented and Bitcoin Cash was born on 1st August 2017.

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 fell by 2.85% on Saturday. Reversing a 1.00% gain from Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $8,919.0. Range-bound through the morning, Bitcoin rose to an afternoon intraday high $9,241.5 before hitting reverse. Coming within range of the first major resistance level at $9,249.77, Bitcoin slid to a late afternoon intraday low $8,867.4. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $9,061.37 and the second major support level at $8,942.13. Late on, Bitcoin briefly broke back through the second major support level before wrapping up the day at sub-$8,920 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, with Bitcoin struggling to break out from $10,000 levels. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $11,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a bearish day for the crypto majors. Bitcoin Cash SV, Tezos, and Tron’s TRX led the way down, with losses of 6.78%, 6.06%, and 7.37% respectively. Binance Coin (-5.14%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-5.60%), Cardano’s ADA (-5.93%), EOS (-5.13%) and Stellar’s Lumen (-5.10%) also saw heavy losses. Ethereum (-3.17%), Litecoin (-4.40%), Monero’s XMR (-4.76%), and Ripple’s XRP (-3.54%) saw relatively modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose to from a Monday low $243.1bn to a Saturday high $264.66bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $251.05bn. Bitcoin’s dominance fell back from 64% levels in the week as the broader market found support. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 63.6%, the upside coming from the Saturday sell-off. Trading volumes hit an early Tuesday high $187.15bn before falling back to sub-$130bn levels. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $135.19bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 1.78% to $8,760.1. Another bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall from an early morning high $8,919.0 to a low $8,750.0. Story continues Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $8,777.10 early on in the day. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. Binance Coin and Tezos led the way down with losses of 4.31% and 4.65% respectively. EOS and Ripple’s XRP saw relatively modest losses of 1.21% and 1.95% at the time of writing. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to break back through the first major support level and move through to $9,000 levels to support a run at the first major resistance level at $9,151.2. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $9,000 levels. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, resistance at $9,000 would likely limit any upside on the day once more. In the event of a breakout, expect the 38.2% FIB of $9,260 would likely come into play before any pullback. Failure to break back through the first major support level could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red A fall back through the morning low $8,750.0 would bring the second major support level at $8,635.20 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of the sub-$8,600 levels on the day.

The media has been going quite crazy about Rowan, the blockchain-powered energy trading portal that is targeting both the residential as well as commercial properties. In a recent interview David Duckworth, the Founder of Rowan Energy was quite candid about his personal life and spent hours talking about the project in detail. While talking about the journey of his life he said, "Initially I worked as a freelance consultant for security & Firewall with top banks, law firms, and even insurance companies. My introduction to bitcoin happened in 2014 through my father in law who found out about bitcoin from a UK newspaper. Soon after I started a venture of my own for mining bitcoins in Cambridge. The 50TH/s mine which filled an entire room was hosted in a shared office. But after a year, my landlord excluded electricity from the lease, which made the entire venture unprofitable so I had to sell off the equipment. In 2018, FIT, which is a solar incentive of the United Kingdom, came to an end which made me think about the importance of such projects in the society and the need for them. This is how I got inspired to start Rowan where the trading bot can be used for trading energy between the consumers and the solar owners. But after years of innovation and brainstorming it\'s only a minor part of the entire project that aims to deliver way more than trading of energy." What sets this project apart is the fact that unlike the others, they have built their own infrastructure which gives their business an added value and much more control over its operations. This is just the start, they also have multiple layers of protection to make sure that all the user data are safe and secure to keep the data away from the lookups of the regular block explorers. Having their own structure also means that they don\'t need to wait for anyone before making any upgrade to the system. This is also the first such project to have a massive presence in the UK which targets the various commercial properties. Story continues There are two major ways the Rowan Energy will get a boost to its values. Both the co-owners have previously built a smart meter network which gives them an added advantage with Rowan. Also they have a Proof Of Concept signed with PassivSystems, a meter reading company. Rowan will also have complete access to the market being the only certificate provider for residential properties.

He has more than 17 years of trading and asset management experience at firms including Merrill Lynch and Citadel Securities. Carl Icahn is famous for moving in and out of asset classes. This is quite different than how most asset managers and professional investors invest, who are generally locked into an asset class based on specific mandate, and are therefore forced to try to make something out of whatever is available to them, even if the opportunity set isn’t great. While some may label Icahn an activist investor, or a vulture investor, he’s actually more appropriately labeled as an “opportunist,” which is to say he isn’t just an equity guy or a bond guy or a real estate guy. Icahn has famously said,“My investment philosophy, generally, is to buy something when no one wants it.” The crypto markets to date have been dominated by crypto-native investors. There is very little cross-asset ownership largely because the infrastructure is totally different. Crypto investing doesn’t fit with traditional investor mandates, nor does it fit within the work flows of traditional banks, prime brokerages, exchanges or algorithms. This is slowly changing with the entry of traditional financial powerhouses to the digital assets space like Fidelity, CME and NYSE, but this asset class is still largely foreign and unappealing to the majority of investors. Related:You Are the Product: A Three-Step Plan to Take Back Control of Personal Data Crypto needs investors to come and go who aren’t solely crypto investors. That said, a lack of full attention has its advantages. When one isn’t focused day to day on the equity markets, it is often easier to see one or two data points, interpret the data and make clear and objective decisions. For example, 2019 earnings were incredibly weak, and the majority of stock gains were via multiple expansion and central bank balance sheet growth. As a non-equity investor, this seems like a better time to sell than buy. Similarly, if you’re not focused every day on digital assets and were presented with just the facts right now regarding supply and demand, adoption and monetary policy, you might conclude the current macro environment iscreating the perfect storm for owning certain digital assets. We see this dynamic play out all the time in traditional markets. In 2008, many value investors moved away from equities and into corporate bonds, and distressed debt investors largely moved into bank debt and mortgages. In 2012, many U.S. bond investors moved into European bank loans. And from 2015 to present, just about everyone has rotated into equities. Similarly, crypto needs investors to come and go who aren’t solely crypto investors. This asset rotation and opportunistic investing will help the market find equilibrium at both market tops and bottoms, helping to reduce the crazy highs and the depressing lows historically associated with this asset class. Related:No, Concentration Among Miners Isn’t Going to Break Bitcoin Easier said than done of course, but we are beginning to see this happen in real time. Those not in the market full time are starting to cherry-pick just like Carl Icahn. Ark Invest, which famously became the first public fund to invest inbitcoin(BTC), seems to be fund doing just that. A quick look at its latest 13-F filings show the firm has historically bought bitcoin on price dips (throughout 2018), sold at market peaks (June 2019) and has recently added back at market lows (December 2019). Right now, crypto continues to largely be an isolated, and oft-ignored, section of the financial ecosystem. Perhaps the bitcoin carry trade (similar to the yen carry trade in 2013) will be one catalyst that brings new players into crypto, or maybe a declining bond and equity market will lead to asset rotations. Regardless of how it happens, this will be the next step before digital assets can truly take off and become mainstream. • Financial Services: The Coming Cataclysm • Don’t Obsess Over Crypto End Users, We Still Need Developers to Build the Back End... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/Wolfshire', 'Does anyone seriously find the THICC weapons case to be worth it?', 15, '2020-03-08 00:04', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ff3955/does_anyone_seriously_find_the_thicc_weapons_case/', "I just received a THICC weapons case for maxing out my trader loyalty, but there's a problem with it. The thicc weapons case does not fit into an items case. I know this is as designed but it honestly has me questioning whether the THICC weapon case is worth it at all. For the price of ONE thicc weapons case (5mil) you can buy an items case (2mil) and 3 weapons cases (1.1mil) to put inside of it.\n\nHere's some quick math: \nThicc weapon case: 10 slots (in stash) -> 90 slots (internal) \nItem case: 16 slots (in stash) -> 64 slots (internal) \nWeapon case: 10 slots (in stash) -> 50 slots (internal)\n\nClearly the thicc weapon's case is larger than the regular weapons case and the items case, but now let's add the weapons cases to our items case.\n\nThe item case still takes up 16 slots in our stash, but with 3 weapons cases in it, it has a remaining 34 slots plus the additional 150 slots from the weapons case. That means an items case and 3 weapons cases provides you with 184 slots for just 16 slots.\n\nItem case + 3 weapons case: 11.5x internal slots per stash slot (184 / 16) \nThicc weapons case: 9x slots per stash slot (90 / 10)\n\nThat's just counting the cases you can buy for trading in your thicc weapons case. You could actually fill that item case with even more weapons cases making it even more space efficient, at the cost of some additional cash.\n\nSorry for the wall of text, was just wondering if anyone had run through the same line of logic when considering keeping the thicc weapon's case. If BSG truly wants the thicc weapon's case to be worth the money, then it absolutely needs to fit into an items case. (I do see that theres a bitcoin trade which probably explains the 5mil price, but that basically turns the thicc weapons case into a glorified luxury item.)", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ff3955/does_anyone_seriously_find_the_thicc_weapons_case/', 'ff3955', [['u/Ellestrian', 25, '2020-03-08 00:08', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/ff3955/does_anyone_seriously_find_the_thicc_weapons_case/fjv2ab5/', 'You can put a THICC weapons case inside an items case if you put the THICC case in a backpack first.', 'ff3955']]], ['u/EuroZeus', 'Lighting network', 13, '2020-03-08 00:14', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ff3ed2/lighting_network/', 'Is it legit? \nCan someone tell how does it work?\nIs it like a blockchain on top of bitcoin blockchain?\nIs it secure?

Was not sure to share it here as was very afraid how it would be perceived...but I think this could help a lot of people get out at the top. Shout out to TradingShot for getting my mind thinking this way.\n\n# Look at the numbers using the 57.13% Bitcoin Theory…\n\n1. Bitcoin always peaks at 57.13% higher than its last high in the same bull run give or take (+/- 5%).\n2. Looking just at the current first half of this bull run, the first peak was $5,642; increase that by 57.13% and you get $8,865 (actual was *$9,008*), increase that by 57.13% and you get $13,930 (actual was *$13,796*), increase that by 57.13% and you get $21,888.\n3. You can also confirm this theory from the last bull run. The first peak was at $314. If you apply 57.13% increase progressively, you get: \n\n\n* Projected Price using 57.13% Theory: $495 - $778 - $1,223 - $1,922 - $3,020 - $4,746 - $7,458 - $11,719 - $18,414.\n* Actual Price Was: $495 - $778 - $1,191 - $1,873 - $3,000 - $4,974 - $7,776 - $11,517 - $18,353.\n\nThe last bull run one was an anomaly at $20,089. Thinking this was just a pop off the top because of rush of the retail market buying in after $18,353.\n\n# Applying the 57.13% Bitcoin Theory to the rest of this run are as follows give or take (+/- 5%):\n\nProjected: $21,888 - $34,393 - $54,042 - $84,916 - $133,429 $209,657 - $329,434.\n\nBut of course we may not make it through all those stages because buying will exhaust at some point (very important to keep that in mind.)\n\nUsing the 57.13% Bitcoin Theory my safest guess would be the following give or take (+/- 5%) Please keep in mind dates could be wrong:\n\n$21,888 by December 2020\n\n$34,393 by February 2021\n\n$54,042 by May 2021\n\n$84,916 by August 2021\n\n$133,429 by October - December 2021.\n\nThis will go right inline with my previous research that Bitcoin will be jumping & dropping 10K levels after the halving thi...

Today's Key News: ['A natural gas power plant can\'t always send excess energy into the grid, frequently leading to waste as the gas is flared or vented away. However, a plant in Dresden, New York thinks it has a solution: use that surplus to generate some digital cash. Greenidge Generation has revealed that it\'s using "behind-the-meter" energy at the facility to mine Bitcoin , with 7,000 mining systems producing up to 5.5BTC (about $45,000 as of this writing) per day. The facility and its mining partner, Atlas Holdings, characterized this as a win for both the plant and the community. In theory, this helps the facility turn a profit while creating more jobs and tax revenue. It\'s a logical fit, at least, as cryptocurrency mining often depends on large amounts of energy -- something that won\'t be a problem at a power plant. There are limitations. This mining may work for natural gas, but it might not be a great idea for renewable energy systems where it\'d make more sense to store the energy for later. Long-term viability might be an issue, too. Greenidge\'s mining may be profitable right now, but it could lose much of its allure as demand at the plant grows. There\'s also the nature of Bitcoin itself to consider. It gets more and more difficult to generate bitcoin over time, so the windfalls you see today might not be possible in the years ahead.

A recent notice from the Changle District court in China’s Fujian province indicates Zhan has filed a lawsuit against Bitmain’s fully-owned subsidiary Fujian Zhanhua Intelligence Technologies, as well as Beijing Bitmain Technologies as a related third party. A hearing of the case was scheduled on Feb. 11, according to the notice, although it’s likely postponed due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak . While it’s not clear what the exact allegations are, the court says the case relates to a “shareholder qualification confirmation dispute.” Related: Bitcoin’s Plunge Was Foreshadowed by Miner Inventory Data The case adds to the ongoing litigation in the Cayman Islands Zhan has filed against the company he co-founded with Jihan Wu in 2013, casting further uncertainty on the outcome of the power struggle at the world’s largest miner maker as well as its planned initial public offering in the U.S. Zhan filed a lawsuit in December in the Caymans, where Bitmain’s parent holding entity is registered, asking a court to void a decision allegedly passed at a shareholder meeting that significantly curtailed his voting power. Lawyers representing Zhan in the Cayman Islands previously told CoinDesk that Zhan, as a major shareholder, was not aware of the meeting beforehand, and a hearing for the case might be scheduled after the Easter holiday. Asset protection The lawsuit in China also followed an asset-protection petition filed by Zhan and approved by the same court in December, but the court’s full judgment was not made public until last Thursday. Related: Ethereum’s ProgPoW Debate Is About Much More Than Mining The court sided with Zhan to freeze 36 percent of Fujian Zhanhua’s 10 million yuan incorporated shares owned by Bitmain, worth 3.6 million yuan, or $500,000. Though the value of the frozen assets may be negligible for Bitmain, the percentage could be significant. Story continues Fujian Zhanhua is 100 percent owned by Beijing Bitmain, whose parent company is Cayman-registered BitMain Technologies Holding, of which Zhan remains the largest shareholder – with 36 percent. That means Zhan indirectly owns 36 percent of Fujian Zhanhua, suggesting the asset-protection move is intended to prevent his power over this subsidiary from being transferred or diluted. Under the court’s asset-protection order, Beijing Bitmain will not be able to transfer or pledge these frozen assets as collateral, nor would it be able to increase the subsidiary’s total incorporated capital in order to dilute the percentage of the frozen ownership. But why Fujian Zhanhua ? It may appear surprising that Zhan would file a case against one subsidiary out of a dozen entities under Bitmain’s holding firm, and in a court in Fujian instead of Bitmain’s home base in Beijing. But the importance of Fujian Zhanhua could hint at Zhan’s strategy for fighting back since he was ousted in a coup in November 2019. To be sure, Zhan, a Fujian native, is still the legal representative of Fujian Zhanhua, a firm that was ranked 58th by the Fujian provincial government in 2018 out of the top 100 taxpayer companies. And Bitmain’s Hong Kong IPO filing in 2018 listed Fujian Zhanhua as one of the four principal subordinate entities that had made material contribution to the financial results of Bitmain’s holding group, alongside Beijing Bitmain, Bitmain Hong Kong and a Shenzhen manufacturing subsidiary. The document specified the principal business activity of Fujian Zhanhua as Bitmain’s “sales center for cryptocurrency mining hardware” in China. Bitmain booked over $2.5 billion in revenue in 2017 alone, of which about 95 percent came from sales of its mining hardware. And the mainland China market counted for nearly 50 percent of the total sales volume that year. In fact, Bitmain’s two major sales channels – the AntMiner pre-sales and post-sales WeChat accounts – were previously owned and operated by Fujian Zhanhua. However, the ownership for both channels was migrated to another, lesser-known Bitmain subsidiary in December, whose legal representative is not Zhan. Further, the IPO document revealed the Fujian subsidiary played a vital role in one of Bitmain’s financing activities in 2018. In July 2018, Beijing Bitmain signed a series of purchase agreements worth $100 million to buy an office building in Beijing. To finance that transaction, it borrowed $49 million from a local bank with the acquired property pledged as collateral and with Fujian Zhanhua as a guarantor, underscoring the financial wherewithal of the Fujian subsidiary.

Digital assets are unique, similar to corporate bonds, making different valuation techniques appropriate for specific token types. Just like a bond has different coupons, different maturities, different covenants and different features (callable, putable, convertible, warrants, etc.), most digital assets have unique features as well, making each analysis different than the last (there is a reason Fabozzi’s fixed income bible is over 1,800 pages long).\nIn our view, the DCF analysis is best used for tokens issued by cash-producing companies such as exchange tokens like Binance Coin (BNB) or Unus Sed Leo (LEO). The NVT Ratio may be better when comparing across smart contract platforms such as Ethereum, EOS and NEO. A variation of Metcalfe’s law or total addressable market analysis can be used for tokens that are in the early pre-launch stage or are servicing a sector that is difficult to currently measure.\nSee also:Never Mind Hodlers, Crypto Needs More Opportunist Investors\nThe smartest crypto analysts (including our own internal team at Arca) are developing new methodologies to value digital assets. Once these metrics become widely accepted, price floors and ceilings in crypto will be set based on agreed-upon, well-tested fundamental valuation – just like in the debt and equity markets.\nI started my career on Wall Street in 2001. I was told to read Frank Fabozzi and Graham and Dodd before showing up for work on day one. I never questioned the legitimacy of these valuation techniques; I simply adopted them because everyone else did, too. Had I started in 1901, prior to “Security Analysis,” I likely would have been asked to learn how to read ticker tapes instead.\nEquity markets turned out just fine, despite a rocky start in determining valuation that, in retrospect, seems silly. So did the fixed income markets. And so, too, will digital assets.

It is now re-testing the daily 200 moving average at $8,750 ahead of a potential breakout above the $8,830 level of support-turned-resistance, although the market needs a surge in volume for a major move to come into fruition. The most likely scenario moving into the rest of the week is a period of consolidation following Tuesday’s gruelling descent to the downside. Bitcoin is now trading 16% lower than it was on February 14 when it tested the $10,500 level of resistance. Another rejection from the 200 moving average could signal the start of further downtrend that will likely drive price to a diagonal trendline dating back to February 2019. Interestingly, the trendline that was used as support at the end of 2019 is in confluence with the horizontal level at $7,880, which means that it poses a predictable stopping point for Bitcoin before the end of the month. The upcoming Bitcoin halving will also undoubtedly have an impact on its price, as it has in previous years. As block rewards for miners get slashed from 12.5BTC to 6.25BTC per block, supply subsequently dries up leading to a surge in demand and a hike in price. This is why – if Bitcoin can continue trading above $7,800 – it remains bullish from a macro perspective, despite looking unhealthy in the short term.

On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are. Story continues The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On January 3 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”), which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

Come and check out a fun faucet for a change :)', 141, '2020-03-10 01:48', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/fg5b2x/i_worked_hard_for_it_version_20_of_luckynano_is/', "Howdy \\~♪\n\nIt's been a vague promise for a year now, life has been quite busy on my end but, yay, we've done it: LuckyNano 2.0 is a thing ! [Do pay us a visit by clicking](https://luckynano.com) [this link](https://luckynano.com/), peeps.\n\nAs always, I'm sure many of you don't know LN, so let me introduce you: LuckyNano started in January 2018, with the idea of creating a faucet to introduce people to Nano, but in a fun way. I felt really bummed that such an awesome currency as Nano would only be discovered through dull faucets, where all you do to get munie is clicking a button, every now and then. Worse, some only allow you to claim once, or at the cost of viewing ads.\n\nI was a big fan of gamefaucet.com for Bitcoin (RIP), which let you play casino games in exchange of a few satoshi, with a big community component around it. People were enticed to chat and build a strong fanbase, and those who wanted to help the project would invest their own money to unlock perks and features.\n\nThis is \\exactly\\ what I'm going for with LuckyNano: a faucet with casino-inspired games where you win NANO, but with a more modern design, and an enhanced multiplayer aspect. And those who are willing to try their luck for a quick buck, or simply want to help keep the project afloat can deposit a couple of NANO to play for higher stakes.\n\nSo ! On to what 2.0 has to offer:\n\n* A brand new game: BlackJack. It's in Alpha version, so while the tests are going on, only faucet users can play -- the goal is to avoid potential breaking bugs during paid games. Only the basic rules are implemented, it's very barebone and with only one table, meaning 5 simultaneous players max. But GOD, it's finally there !\n* Faucet users can finally play all games (except Poker): it was kind of a bummer that only the Slots Machine was available to free players before. It was first intended to be temporary, to promote the game that was introduced when 1.0 rolled out. Then it stayed the same for over a year...\n* POKER IS FREE, ladies and gentlemen. You may now sit at our Cash Games and play all you want, it's absolutely free and will always be from now on -- no more profit-based fee, heck, don't even get me started with the robbery that rake fee is. Plus, Freeroll Tournaments are now every two hours. That's 3x more chances to get decent real money out of it. \n * The reason for this is that Poker still runs its legacy PHP code from v0.6, instead of Node.js like every other game. Porting the backend to Javascript will be a pain, as it is more than 5k lines of codes to convert -- and improve on. While the game development is stale, I see no reason to keep making profit out of it, so, there you go.\n* Improved security. Unfortunately, as 2.0 was about to be pushed a couple of weeks ago, the website was attacked. The cracker only got to steal around 14 NANO, but an attack is still an attack and has to be taken seriously. Hotfixes were pushed here and there, and 2FA is now enforced on all accounts to prevent illicit account info changes or withdrawals. It does require users to provide a real e-mail address, but it's the only personal information asked from the player. I believe that cryptocurrency users like their privacy, and that services such as mine should not collect more info than they need for their users' and their own security.\n\nPlease [try it](https://luckynano.com/), and share some love if you feel like it. :-)", 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/fg5b2x/i_worked_hard_for_it_version_20_of_luckynano_is/', 'fg5b2x', [['u/Emul0rd', 27, '2020-03-10 01:53', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/fg5b2x/i_worked_hard_for_it_version_20_of_luckynano_is/fk2i6t7/', 'Oh, and our hot wallet is still a Rebroadcasting (Main) Representative!

Currently, the company only offers bitcoin-related funds to accredited investors.\nLow volatility is the San Diego-based asset manager’s target for its multi-strategy fund, which hit its one-year anniversary this month.\nRelated:Australian Regulator Gives Green Light to App-Based Retail Bitcoin Fund\nWith volatility of 24.5 percent compared to bitcoin’s 74 percent, Blockforce claims its fund has a third of the volatility of the cryptocurrency, capturing 86 percent of the upside of bitcoin and 12.5 percent of the downside.\nThe fund’s goal is to capture more than 80 percent of bitcoin’s returns with about 40 percent of bitcoin’s losses. It’s supposed to “give people something they can invest in without all the stomach acid of a direct cryptocurrency investment,” Blockforce CEO Eric Ervin said.\nForty percent of the fund is based on systematic strategies based on long-term and short-term trends in a mix of large-cap cryptocurrencies: bitcoin,bitcoin cash(BCH),litecoin(LTC),ether(ETH),XRPand Binance coin (BNB). (This 40 percent is heavily weighted toward bitcoin, Ervin said.) Twenty percent of the fund is based on a mix of these large-cap crypto assets in general, and the rest is based on stablecoin lending.\nThe upside performance of the fund has improved significantly since last year, the company noted. In the first four months of the fund’s operations in 2019, the fund only increased by 32 percent while bitcoin rose more than 180 percent. From July to December, the fund only dropped 16 percent while bitcoin fell by 33 percent.\nRelated:Why the SEC Asked Blockforce Capital to Pull a Bitcoin ETF Proposal as Soon as It Was Filed\n“One thing to keep in mind when evaluating performance throughout 2019 was the erratic nature of returns,” Ervin said in the note, adding:\n“In November, after a portfolio management team change, we significantly reduced the complexity of the models, we slowed down some of the signals and focused our research efforts on optimizing for trade frictions as well as identifying high-probability trends to confirm either up, down or sideways markets.

Almost all altcoins have also moved to a steady upward trend. Especially worth mentioning is Ethereum (ETH), which has added 9% in the last 24 hours, reaching $208, having crossed the round mark. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) also shows an impressive growth of almost 14% to $440. As the crypto market grows, many analysts, including Josh Rager, announce a change of trend, and the new altcoin season. There is every reason for that, especially given the price dynamics related to the coronavirus and traditional market. At the beginning of the next bullish spiral, the crypto community linked this growth to the virus, geopolitics, overbought stocks, tying to gold dynamics, and other factors. So what do we see now? Panic around the epidemic has eased: Chinese scientists are actively convincing the international community that they have taken control of the situation and developed a vaccine. This news provoked further stock growth; oil bounced back while gold declined. Besides, there is extremely positive news about US-China trade war. In theory, all this could lead to a reversal of the Bitcoin and the entire market to a decline. So how could Bitcoin get a significant impulse on the background of the coronavirus spreading? It is quite possible to assume a scenario where the epidemic spreads to many countries of the world, provoking governments to close borders. This would immediately lead to a breakdown of all established supply chains and a drop in trade volumes. The end of broad free trade between countries could cause restrictions on capital movements, as panic provokes asset flight. In that case, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could indeed be considered beneficiaries of the “feast at a time of plague”. Nevertheless, the situation is improving, and we see active growth. All this suggests that Bitcoin for investors is in a border zone. It’s not a traditional risk asset, as its volatility is still off the charts compared to popular currencies and equities; and yet, it’s not a safe-haven. Story continues Most likely, we are witnessing a situation where investors, investing in stocks against the backdrop of growing optimism, diversify some funds towards Bitcoin. The first cryptocurrency, in its turn, is pulling the rest of the crypto market upwards. We can assume that BTC will follow the sentiment of large investors, receiving impulses depending on the general direction of the market. Price dynamics can be heated up by the participants of the crypto market themselves, who, however, probably, no longer have the same driving force, which once pushed the rate to $20,000.

Today's Key News: ['By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) - Panic hit world financial markets on Thursday after stimulus efforts from the European Central Bank failed to calm investors alarmed by U.S. moves to restrict travel from Europe because of the coronavirus pandemic. An MSCI global gauge of stocks posted its largest daily percentage drop on record, as did European shares <.STOXX>. Wall Street\'s Dow industrials index <.DJI> recorded its largest daily decline since the Black Monday crash of October 1987. The New York Federal Reserve pumped more liquidity to banks, briefly reversing some of the day\'s losses. It was the third substantial increase in repo support announced by the U.S. central bank this week, a sign the Fed is taking drastic steps to inject more liquidity into the banking system as markets show signs of stress. The U.S. dollar responded atypically, rising against numerous currencies and gold in yet another sign of financial market stress. Oil prices sank further, while traditional safe-haven assets like gold and the Japanese yen lost value against the dollar. Trading was halted for 15 minutes shortly after the open in New York after the benchmark S&P 500 stock index tumbled more than 7%. It ended down 9.5%. In a televised address late on Wednesday that included support measures for the economy, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed restrictions on travel from Europe to the United States, shocking investors and travelers. Traders were disappointed after hoping to see broader measures to fight the spread of the virus and blunt its expected blow to economic growth. "The economy is going to grind to a halt in the next month and the recession risk is real now," said Zhiwei Ren, managing director at Penn Mutual Asset Management in Horsham, Pennsylvania. Trump said the United States would suspend all travel from Europe, except Britain and Ireland, for 30 days starting on Friday. He later said trade would not be affected by the restrictions. Story continues Worries spread far beyond stocks to companies\' lines of credit and their ability to finance business activity in the short term. Fear of the unknown "is gripping markets and it’s more impactful in the credit markets at the moment; liquidity has effectively evaporated," said John McClain, a portfolio manager at Diamond Hill Capital in Columbus, Ohio. "People are looking ahead and saying \'What’s this world going to feel like when we’re all working at home?\'" The European Central Bank approved fresh stimulus measures and temporarily dropped banks\' capital requirements to help the euro zone cope with the shock of the pandemic, but kept interest rates on hold, disappointing markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average <.DJI>sank 2,352.6 points, or 9.99%, to 21,200.62, the S&P 500 <.SPX> lost 260.74 points, or 9.51%, to 2,480.64 and the Nasdaq Composite <.IXIC> dropped 750.25 points, or 9.43%, to 7,201.80. The pan-European STOXX 600 index <.STOXX> lost 11.48% and emerging market stocks lost 6.71%. Japan\'s Nikkei futures <NKc1> lost 10.88%. MSCI\'s gauge of stocks across the globe <.MIWD00000PUS> shed 9.51% and was down more than 20% from its 52-week peak. The index has lost more than 26% over the last 20 sessions.

Demand for dollars via the currency derivative markets surged to the highest levels in years in a sign that coronavirus-induced economic stress is starting to manifest itself in a broad scramble for funding in dollars. "Dollar liquidity is king in times of crisis and that is what the blow-out in swap spreads is telling us," said Kenneth Broux, a currency strategist at Societe Generale in London. He said this could mark a move into the next sell-off stage, which could mean a three-week-long worldwide rout in shares and riskier bonds giving way to a rush for dollars. The dollar index <=USD> rose 0.792%, with the euro <EUR=> up 0.08% to $1.1192. The Japanese yen weakened 0.09% versus the greenback at 104.76 per dollar, while Sterling <GBP=> was last trading at $1.2585, up 0.11% on the day. The Brazilian real <BRL=>, Colombian peso <COP=> and Mexican peso <MXN=> all hit historic lows versus the greenback. Bitcoin plunged 28.1% amid wild volatility in cryptocurrency markets. <BTC=BTSP> Oil prices were also hit, compounded by an intensifying price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, on top of fears of a sharp slowdown in the global economy. U.S. crude <CLc1> fell 6.03% to $30.99 per barrel and Brent <LCOc1> was last at $32.84, down 8.24% on the day. Spot gold <XAU=> dropped 3.5% to $1,576.79 an ounce.

The state House of Representatives announced the retraction on January 8 following a motion from the General Courts Executives Departments Committee, which deemed the initiative as inexpedient to legislate. The main stumbling block for state agencies in New Hampshire was the volatility of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which could have turned into a significant expense for the state. These changes would increase Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2020, in anticipation of an implementation date of July 1 2020, the report states. The DRA cannot estimate if any additional revenue would be generated due to the acceptance of cryptocurrencies. The volatility of accepting cryptocurrencies could affect revenues due to tax assessments being generated in US currency. Ohio also experienced issues when trying to implement cryptocurrency tax payments into its existing system, with the initiative lasting less than a year. In November 2018, it became the first state to accept cryptocurrency for tax payments, only for the legislation to be suspended in October 2019 as the states treasurer, Robert Sprague, claimed that officials needed to ensure it was compliant with existing Ohio law.

The original cryptocurrency hasn’t regained the lofty highs of its bubble peak in late 2017, but it has climbed back up to about $10,000: Predictions that Bitcoin would collapse have not borne fruit. Despite its bubbles and crashes, the cryptocurrency is now a semi-permanent feature of the global financial landscape. What it is not, however, is a generally accepted currency. Although many retailers now accept Bitcoin, the overwhelming majority of day-to-day payments are done in regular old fiat currency. The mere fact that the dollar price of Bitcoin remains an important metric indicates that Bitcoin’s central value is as a speculative asset, rather than its usefulness as a medium of exchange. It’s fairly obvious why. Because of Bitcoin’s price volatility, people don’t want to hang onto it for very long. No one wants to get their paycheck only to find that it has halved in value by the time it comes to buy groceries. Also, optimists who think Bitcoin’s value will continue to go up on average over time will be reluctant to part with it in exchange for something ephemeral like a pizza; better to hang onto the BTC and buy pizza with depreciating dollars instead. (Disclosure: I still own a small amount of Bitcoin.) In fact, these two reasons are just different sides of the same coin: Basic finance theory says that in a reasonably efficient market, high expected returns come at the expense of high volatility. An asset like Bitcoin, or the U.S. dollar, can be a good investment or can be good for buying stuff, but unless the economy is deeply dysfunctional, it can’t be both. Some economists, however, are thinking about how this situation might change, and whether Bitcoin — or some alternative cryptocurrency — might actually replace fiat money as the standard means of payment. This has big policy implications, because if it did become real money, cryptocurrency could interfere with central banks’ ability to manage the economy and the price level. It also matters for crypto investors’ wallets. One possibility is that nothing needs to be done, and eventually Bitcoin will settle into a new low-volatility equilibrium, making it more suitable as a means of payment. Economists Michael Choi and Guillaume Rocheteau have made a model in which this happens. The problem is that the model sees Bitcoin competing with other commodity-like forms of money, such as gold or other cryptocurrencies. Their result relies on the idea that liquid assets will always be in short supply. In reality, Bitcoin is competing against fiat currencies that can be produced more or less costlessly. A more plausible prediction comes from economists Jonathan Chiu and Thorsten Koeppl. Like other economists who have theorized about Bitcoin, they view cryptocurrency’s fundamental challenge as that of preventing double-spending — in other words, verifying electronically that someone really has the money when they make a payment. This issue of digital trust, after all, is the problem Bitcoin was designed to solve. Chiu and Koeppl suggest that to become useful as a form of money, a cryptocurrency should be inflationary. The people who verify Bitcoin transactions, called miners, are now compensated for their usage of computing power by being awarded new Bitcoins, but the rewards are decreasing over time. One of the basic ideas of Bitcoin, which stems partly from the hard-money beliefs of its creators, is that the cryptocurrency should be deflationary — that its supply should be limited, and its value should increase over time due to increasing scarcity. This means that eventually, miners will have to be rewarded with transaction fees instead of new Bitcoins. Chiu and Koeppl say this is a bad idea. Transaction fees, they note, are levied on a small population — that is, whoever is doing the transaction. To make it worth the miners’ while, the fees must be very high, which discourages people from transacting in Bitcoin. If miners are instead paid with inflation, the cost gets spread out among everyone who owns Bitcoin. Also, transaction fees make a double-spending attack more potentially lucrative, because creating a fake transaction would also save money on the fee. Thus, they recommend sticking with the inflation method of payment, and letting cryptocurrency depreciate over time like the U.S. dollar does. This could be exactly what cryptocurrency needs in order to turn into real money. Negative expected returns — essentially, a low and stable inflation target — would make Bitcoin less attractive as a long-term investment. Instead of hoarding it, people would be fine getting rid of it in exchange for pizza. The currency’s value might then stabilize, as speculation decreased. Abandoning the dream of deflationary digital gold might be hard for Bitcoin’s adherents to accept. But other cryptocurrencies, such as ZCash, Monero, Dash or Facebook Inc.’s Libra might step in to fill the gap. Of course, they would still have to overcome the technical problem of being able to handle large transaction volumes as cheaply and easily as a credit card company, but Chiu and Koeppl are confident that this is possible. So ironically, cryptocurrency might only become a currency if it acts more like the U.S. dollar, with a low but predictable inflation target.

(NYSE: BA ) must fix electrical wiring issues inside its grounded 737 MAX planes before they are cleared to fly by the FAA. What Happened In another setback for Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concluded that the wiring layout of the 737 Max violates wiring-safety standards aimed at preventing short-circuits, according to The Wall Street Journal. The aviation regulator decided that under extreme circumstances, the failure of the wiring could lead the 737 MAX flight control systems to point the planes nose sharply downwards in the same manner as the two MAX Jets that crashed in the past and killed 346 people. Official confirmation has not been made by FAA Administrator Steve Dickson, but the regulators safety and certification officials have been told by technical experts at the FAA that changes are required in the wiring locations. Why It Matters In late February, Boeing had discovered foreign object debris in some of the grounded MAXs fuel tanks. Wiring changes could delay 737 MAXs returns to the skies by several weeks reported the Journal citing sources. Boeing had planned to return the 737 Max back to service by mid-June. This is a test of new Boeing CEO Dave Calhouns ability to steer the company out of the crisis caused by the fatal crashes that led to the grounding of these aircraft. Calhoun has taken a more conciliatory stand with respect to the FAA. What Else Is There In a boost for Boeing last month, Japanese airline group ANA Holdings Inc. announced the purchase of 20 additional 787 Dreamliners valued at more than $5 billion at list prices. Price Action Boeing shares traded 1.27% lower at $259 in the after-hours session on Friday. The shares had closed the regular session 0.75% higher at $262.33.

Since older equipment is becoming unprofitable even before the reward is cut, more than $500 million has been poured into the new, more efficient machines that can churn out more bitcoin, according to a CoinDesk estimate.\nRelated:Why Bitcoin Mining Might Be the New Business Model for US Power Plants\nBut bitcoin price’s recent plunge – crashing to below $5,000 on Friday and recording a 50 percent drop since its high above $10,000 in late 2019 – is creating greater uncertainty about mining farms’ profitability.\nAccording to data from mining poolPoolIn, even the most efficient equipment on the market, such as MicroBT’s WhatsMiner M20S and Bitmain’s AntMiner S17 Pro, is generating daily profits at a gross margin below 50 percent. That estimate is based on bitcoin’s current price and mining difficulty (a measure of how competitive it is to mine bitcoin) with an average electricity cost of $0.05 per kilowatt hour (kWh).\nIf bitcoin’s price does not bounce back to a higher point after the halving, which will essentially reduce mining revenue by half, mining farms would have to bear a longer payback period for their investment.\n“We have been just heads down and kept mining, and bought a bunch of new machines,” said Zheng Xun, CEO of Hashage, which operates several sites in China’s mining hub in Sichuan province. “We already have a large scale so probably won’t buy any more for the time being. We’re maintaining cash flow to see how the market plays out after halving.”\nRelated:Bitcoin’s Computing Power Is Growing Again After Coronavirus-Related Disruption\nThat said, it remains to be seen how bitcoin’s overall computing power will react to bitcoin’s price drop in the coming weeks as older mining equipment is expected to shut down. If the computing power and the mining difficulty on bitcoin’s network decrease significantly, the incumbents will be able to mine more coins.\nBut for now, the network’s seven-day rolling average hash rate has shown adowntrendsince last week’s price crash, falling to 108 exhashes per second (EH/s) from 118 EH/s around March 9.\nChris Zhu, co-founder of the mining pool PoolIn, said in an online panel via WeChat on Friday his expectation before the price crash was bitcoin’s hash rate would still rise slowly. Now he expects the computing power to go down by 20 to 30 percent in the coming months.\nGlobal mining farms’ spending glut is reflected in the significant growth of bitcoin’s total computing power in the past half-year.\nSince September 2019, the hashing power on the bitcoin network has increased by 30 percent, jumping from around 90 EH/s to most recently around 120 EH/s.\nGiven that most of the new equipment has been priced between $20 to $30 per terahash per second (TH/s), mining farm operators may have spent more than $600 million in recent months to get ready for the coming halving event. (For context, 1 EH/s = 1 million TH/s.)\nArtem Eremin, product manager of 3logic, a reseller of bitcoin ASIC miners, said his clients in Russia and central Asia have started actively buying Bitmain’s AntMiner S17s since October, preparing to replace the old ones. (ASICs, or application-specific integrated circuits, are computer chips customized for heavy-duty activities like mining.)\n3logic now sells about 2,500 units of the newest equipment per month. It used to be around 5,000 units in October and November, Eremin said, although the buying momentum slowed in December. According to different estimates, a third to half of all mining computers in Russia might have been replaced with the new models by now.\nIgor Runets, CEO of Bitriver, a mining venue in Bratsk, Russia, said his clients had been buying new ASICs quite actively since last fall but slowed down their purchases in January. “There was the Chinese New Year, the coronavirus outbreak, and then the buying activity just didn’t fully recover after that,” he said.\nSimilarly in China, larger mining farms have been revamping their facilities with top-of-the-line equipment in large quantities since the second half of 2019, when major manufacturers started to ship equipment in bulk.\nZheng said his firm scaled up its facilities by 30 percent with the latest machines supplied by Bitmain and MicroBT since the end of the summer in China last year and the deployment was in place prior to the Chinese New Year.\nSome, like Gabriel Xia’s Spark Capital, a China-based fund, even started the replacement and upgrade work as early as summer 2019. “We sold all the old S9s in summer last year when its price at the second-hand market doubled and started buying new equipment,” he said.\nBehind this recent buying momentum is the tremendous amount of investment that has poured into the bitcoin mining space in 2019 alone.\nFor perspective, bitcoin’s hashing power hit 1 EH/s for the first time around February 2016. It then took the network about 30 months to reach 50 EH/s in September 2018 – even after the 2017 bull run.\nBut it only took the network 15 months to double that level and reach 100 EH/s in January 2020.\nThis accelerated growth was made possible by major manufacturers such as Bitmain, MicroBT and Canaan, which have produced and shipped more powerful equipment using more advanced computing chips.\nBut technological advancement also means new equipment has become much more expensive. With higher barriers to entry than in 2017, the space has been consolidating, squeezing out retail miners.\nIn 2017, even on the back of bitcoin’s bull run, it might not be so common to hear one customer place a single purchase order worth over $15 million for mining equipment. But things changed in 2019.\n“With an order like 100 million yuan [$15 million] in 2017, you might be the biggest miner across the network,” said Xia, whose firm has been mining since 2016. By 2019, “$15 million would only make you just an ordinary big customer.”\nTraditionally, mining farms would sell fresh bitcoins to fund their operations. However, over the last couple of years, a new market for financial services emerged to help them get working capital even if they want to “hodl” (bitcoin slang for holding rather than selling).\nXia said Spark Capital’s mined assets have been pledged as collateral for loans it took out to pay utility bills and expand operations. The firm is betting it will be able to sell the coins at a higher price later, and in the meantime it’s shortening the time it takes for the machines to pay for themselves.\n“We are looking at a longer term when we scale up,” he said.\nEchoing that strat Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [8723.79, 8929.04, 8942.81, 8706.25, 8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24, 10326.05, 10214.38, 10312.12, 9889.42, 9934.43, 9690.14, 10142.00, 9633.39, 9608.48, 9686.44, 9663.18, 9924.52, 9650.17, 9341.71, 8820.52, 8784.49, 8672.46, 8599.51, 8562.45, 8869.67, 8787.79, 8755.25, 9078.76, 9122.55, 8909.95, 8108.12, 7923.64, 7909.73, 7911.43, 4970.79, 5563.71, 5200.37, 5392.31] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

The most popular cryptocurrency among buyers was bitcoin (BTC), which accounted for 59.6% of Simplex’s volumes during March 12-14, according to a statement shared with The Block on Tuesday. Bitcoin was followed by Tether (USDT) stablecoin and ether (ETH), which accounted for 12.60% and 9.78% of volumes, respectively. “The market downturn hasn’t dampened the public’s enthusiasm for purchasing crypto.

Given the threat of the coronavirus, the university believes it’s no longer safe for students to congregate at a graduation ceremony. Instead of postponing the event, the administration decided to give students the option to get their diplomas online, local media outletMBNreported. On Feb. 7, POSTECH’s 828 new graduates will receive an email letter with a QR code linked to their blockchain-stored diploma. The diplomas are created by blockchain-based certification service “broof.” Launched in May 2019 by Korean firmICONLOOP, the service allows users to issue, manage, and view online certificates via ICONLOOP’s public blockchain network. "In the aftermath of the new corona, it is impossible to hold a graduation ceremony on time,” a POSTECH official told MBN. "Now, even if a student does not visit the school to receive the diploma, they can get an online digital degree secured by blockchain technology." POSTECH previously made use of broof’s technology in June 2019 when it issued blockchain certificates to graduates of its blockchain CEO course, MBN said. Compared to traditional online diplomas, blockchain-based certificates are not subject to forgery or alteration. Recipients can access the information through an encrypted path. Meanwhile, other higher education institutions also are experimenting with digital academic credentials.

You are an expert financial analyst. Your primary task is to predict the next 10 days of Bitcoin prices. Analyze the provided news and historical price data to make your forecast. Today's Key News: ['By Tom Wilson LONDON (Reuters) - As worries over the economic hit from the coronavirus outbreak spread from stocks, oil and bonds to cryptocurrencies late last week, bitcoin crashed to its worst day in seven years. But plummeting prices weren\'t the only problem for investors. As volatility and volumes spiked, the infrastructure underpinning digital coin trading creaked under the strain. Futures exchanges saw a rash of electronically-triggered liquidations of leveraged positions, fuelling pressure on prices. Spreads between exchanges jumped. And at least two major exchanges went down, leaving investors locked out of the market for well over an hour. Bitcoin prices collapsed nearly 40% on March 12, the biggest one-day drop since spring 2013, before jumping 16% a day later. Volatility raced to its highest in seven years, with volumes across major cryptocurrency exchanges soaring to $30.8 billion on March 12-13, data from industry website CryptoCompare shows -- among the four highest two-day totals on record. As the turmoil gripped markets, New York exchange Gemini said it fell offline for less than 90 minutes. Seychelles-based BitMEX, one of the world\'s biggest platforms for leveraged derivatives trading, went down twice, for a total of 45 minutes. A spokeswoman for Gemini said the exchange "observed a technical issue impacting a subset of our customers." "In an abundance of caution, and to protect the integrity of our marketplace, we paused the market to resolve the issue and ensure all market services were back online in a healthy state prior to reopening," she said. Gemini declined to detail the problem, or comment on whether it was caused or exacerbated by market moves. BitMEX said its outages were due to denial-of-service cyberattacks that stopped messages from reaching its trading engines. The unidentified attackers "waited for the moment their attack would make the most market impact" and overwhelmed the platform "during a moment of peak volatility", it said. Story continues The outages were a reminder of the fragility of key components in crypto markets, underscoring the dangers of a high-risk asset that large investors typically steer clear of. And while most exchanges continued as normal during the turbulence, the Gemini and BitMEX episodes may also fuel doubts that bitcoin\'s infrastructure is solid enough for it to work as an alternative to traditional currencies. "There\'s no way to say it\'s good for the ecosystem when exchanges go down," said Richard Galvin of crypto fund Digital Asset Capital Management. (GRAPHIC: Bitcoin plummets - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/editorcharts/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS-CRYPTOCURRENCIES/0H001R8H9CE4/eikon.png) FRAGILE INFRASTRUCTURE? As bitcoin struggles to evolve from rebel technology into mainstream asset, the outages underscore the fragility of the sector at times of stress, industry figures said. "Volatility is not an issue -- it\'s whether the technology can deal with the volatility." said Denis Vinokourov at crypto exchange BeQuant. Most crypto exchanges have bolstered their capacity to deal with high volatility and volumes, and the majority of major exchanges continued operating normally late last week. But with crypto markets having been dogged by cyberattacks since their birth 12 years ago, exchanges should be better prepared, said Tim Swinson, head of market intelligence at Clearmatics, a London-based blockchain startup that designs peer-to-peer payment platforms. "The fact that exchanges are still being taken down is par for the course, but it shouldn\'t be an excuse," he said. "It shouldn\'t be normal." (GRAPHIC: Volatile times - https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/editorcharts/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS-CRYPTOCURRENCIES/0H001R8H6CDY/eikon.png) CIRCUIT BREAKERS As bitcoin fell on Thursday, positions on major derivatives exchanges such as BitMEX, which offers highly leveraged trading, were automatically liquidated. That stoked pressure on prices, amplifying moves and accelerating bitcoin\'s fall, traders said. Yet unlike major stock exchanges that use circuit breakers to slam the brakes on trading during disruption or panic selling, crypto exchanges generally lack devices to arrest extraordinary price moves. And in contrast to foreign exchange markets, in which central banks sometimes intervene, the mostly unregulated crypto sector is left to its own devices in times of unruly trading. Last week\'s moves raised questions over whether circuit breakers are needed in crypto. "The tech is important," said Vinokourov at BeQuant. "You\'re inviting traditional, big firms to trade on platforms that may not be able to withstand the amount of trading." Circuit breakers do already exist at some exchanges. Deribit, a Panama-based derivatives exchange, in November brought in circuit breakers to counter erratic price swings, said Chief Commercial Officer Luuk Strijers. They were triggered on Thursday "to protect the market and our clients from extreme price volatility," he added. Yet many in the crypto sector say circuit breakers would be impractical for digital coin trading, which takes place across multiple exchanges, without coordinated introduction. Asked whether it operates or plans to introduce circuit breakers, Gemini said: "The cryptocurrency market does not have circuit breakers." BitMEX said it does not operate circuit breakers. "To prevent negative feedback loops, we do not use the last price of our derivatives to trigger liquidations," it added. Others cite likely opposition to controls on crypto markets, rooted in the technology\'s libertarian roots. "If you put circuit breakers in, you also give up the freedoms of markets to find prices on their own," said Galvin of the fund DACM. "If you\'re playing markets so that you can get super-high returns, you also need an approach that can sustain the bad sides."

However, the family of the Coin Ninja CEO claims he was never involved with AlphaBay. Harmon’s case raises pressing questions about developer liability in the crypto industry. In addition to the crypto media site Coin Ninja, Harmon created the bitcoin (BTC) mixer Helix, which sends transactions out in mixed batches so individual payments are harder to trace.In its indictment, Department of Justice prosecutors refer to Helix as a “money transmitting and money laundering business.” Related:For Crypto Miners, Bitcoin’s Halving Could Mean a Doubling in Costs “Helix enabled customers, for a fee, to send bitcoins to designated recipients in a manner which was designed to conceal and obfuscate the source or owner of the bitcoins,” the indictment continues. “This type of service is commonly referred to as a bitcoin ‘mixer’ or ‘tumbler.’” In astatementThursday, Justice Department Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski made the department’s views on bitcoin mixers clear. “This indictment underscores that seeking to obscure virtual currency transactions in this way is a crime,” he said. Harmon’s brother and Coin Ninja coworker, Gary Harmon, said Helix did not directly partner with AlphaBay and the darknet market recommended the mixer without Larry’s permission or input. (Helix shut down in 2017; AlphaBay wasseized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) in July 2017.) Since the arrest, Larry’s wife Margot has received threatening phone calls and texts from unknown numbers saying the harasser knows the location of her home and she is no longer safe there, Gary told CoinDesk in an interview. Related:Bitcoin Closing on Daily Golden Cross That Could Bring Boost to 2020 Price Rally “Now our family is getting threatened because the FBI decided to tell the world that there might be money hidden with us somehow,” Gary said. “They have no proof of this and are now putting our family in danger.” Gary said all his brother’s assets have been frozen and he was denied bail over flight-risk concerns. As such, the family has started aGoFundMecampaign for its expenses during the trial. ”Our address is on it,” Margot Harmon said of the indictment. “At the bond hearing they alleged that he may have had some more bitcoin. So that put us at risk.” Gary said the authorities have already confiscated all of his brother’s hardware wallets and Margot doesn’t have any more bitcoin at home. The Department of Justice says it worked with the Belize National Police Department to search Harmon’s timeshare in Belize as well. Gary said the police “trashed” both of his brother’s homes.

Many bitcoin experts are concerned this could establish a precedent where simply creating a bitcoin mixer is seen, in itself, as a money-laundering conspiracy. Bitcoin Core contributor Matt Corallotweetedthat if this accusation was upheld by the federal court in Washington, D.C., it would be “the beginning of the end.” Margot said her husband was interested in privacy technology, not criminal activity. She offered the example of queer people who may want to purchase porn or sex products without judgment from conservative family members. “Larry has always been an advocate for privacy. He doesn’t know any bad guys from the dark web. He just wanted to help people have better privacy,” she told CoinDesk Thursday. “It’s a basic right we are guaranteed in the Constitution.” The courts may decide in this case if the Fourth Amendment actually relates to bitcoin when it says Americans have the right to be “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” Whether or not this includes aright to privacy, generally speaking, is a hotly debated issue among legal experts. In May, the Dutch Financial Criminal Investigative Service seized and shut down the popular mixing serviceBestmixer.iobut other companies, such as the privacy-centric bitcoin walletWasabi, have built-in mixers as the backbone of their business strategy. These bitcoin wallet startups typically offer non-custodial mixers, unlike the custodial mixer Helix. The Canadian venture fundCypherpunk Holdingsis invested in both Wasabi’s parent company and Samourai Wallet, which also offers a mixing service. The public policy groupCoin Centerargued non-custodial mixers should not be subject to regulation because they offer user-hosted software tools. Only time will tell if the court agrees this reduces the developer’s liability.

Samourai Wallet said in a statement that the term “collaborative transaction” is more accurate than the colloquial “mixing” because transactions happen directly between users.\n“This is a fundamentally different proposition than custodial tumblers or ‘mixers’ like Helix,” said Samourai Wallet, referring to the service that landed its creator inlegal troublewith the U.S. Department of Justice last month.\nRelated:Bitcoin Bumps Up, but for How Long?\nHowever, it’s tricky for new bitcoiners to use such privacy tech becausemany exchanges, like Coinbase, Binance or even smaller exchanges like Bits of Gold, flag mixing wallets as a sign of suspicious activity.\nAlthough Bits of Gold CEO Youval Rouach said his exchange saw hundreds of new users over the past two weeks, with new user signups up over 139 percent, they won’t be able to cash out to Samourai Wallet.\n“We see regulation not as a hurdle, but as a step forward toward mainstream adoption,” Rouach said, adding that regulators may consider mixer wallets a “red flag” and “brokers should report those transactions to the anti-money laundering authorities.”\nIn the U.S., attorneyRafael Yakobisaid such policies aren’t necessary because there are legitimate safety considerations for maintaining financial privacy.\n“Maintaining the privacy of your balances and ties to all past and future transactions, that’s not suspicious,” Yakobi said. “It’s just a normal thing that people should be doing.”\nSeparately, he believes the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) May 2019 guidance indicates non-custodial services are exempt from money transmitter requirements because they don’t “accept and transmit value on behalf of users.”\nAttorney Gabriel Shapiro is less certain about FinCEN’s approach to non-custodial wallets with group transactions.\n“Money transmitter laws are very broad and powerful,” Shapiro said. “I am not confident that the mere fact that Samourai does [group transactions] on a ‘non-custodial’ basis is sufficient to protect them from the ambit of financial regulations.”\nRegardless of legal ambiguity in some jurisdictions, privacy tools are essential to bitcoin’s value proposition.\nBitcoin Core contributor James O’Beirne said the coronavirus crisis is inspiring some bitcoiners to question bitcoin’s core value proposition.\n“The inflation hedge use case becomes less compelling if bitcoin’s performance mirrors equities; everyday investors will just use what they’re already familiar with, which is stocks,” O’Beirne said. “Bitcoin has been prone to the same liquidity-induced sell-offs that stocks have, it’s been kind of sobering. … I think that will continue as traditional markets continue to decline.”\nThe price drop is especially relevant to businesses likeminersand exchanges. If the bitcoin price drops low and stays there, it will be less profitable for miners to power the network.\n“Then all the commercial infrastructure of bitcoin is generally going to require longer block confirmation times,” O’Beirne said. “If the security gets low enough in bitcoin, doing the final settlement might start to take as long as it does in the traditional system. Then that big benefit of bitcoin gets impaired.”\nBitcoin’s prospective usage as an investment hedge or faster payments network remains unclear. But the censorship resistance use case is still intact so far. According to a source with knowledge of the matter, there is a six-man effort to use cryptocurrency to buy supplies for a medical mask factory in Iran, a nation devastated by botheconomic sanctionsand acoronavirus outbreakthat claimed more than1,284 Iranian livesso far.\nThese rare cases, using cryptocurrency to buy medicine or supplies despite compliance challenges, do not appear to be a leading use case for the growing popularity of group transactions. When asked if they use such privacy tools, the Iranian factory source said he doesn’t know what a “mixer” is and they’ve used just $1,000 worth of cryptocurrency, both bitcoin and the stablecoin tether (USDT).\nAs Yakobi pointed out, many bitcoiners around the world see batched transactions as a regular part of their privacy-tech setup. Batching bitcoin might be comparable to choosing not to write your name in ink on every dollar bill you accept or send.\nSince the Bitcoin blockchain is public, regular transactions state the user’s address in simple, clear letters. Not writing your name is a good way to not attract stalkers or thieves down the line. O’Beirne said bitcoin is still in its infancy, too immature as a technology to be useful for resisting law enforcement. Beyond fungibility, self-custody is still rare among bitcoin enthusiasts.\n“In reality, maybe 0.1 percent of anybody is going to do that [self-custody],” O’Beirne said. “But having this option is really important.”\nAlong those lines, Tel Aviv Bitcoin Embassy volunteer Sarah Wiesner said batched transactions are becoming more important as governments like her own in Israel ramp upsurveillance measuresin the name of coronavirus containment. She sees learning about such privacy-focused wallets as a routine security step for the real circumstances she lives in.\n“A mixer is not enough, you also need to make your device somewhat safe from mass surveillance,” Wiesner said. “With cash being banned or discouraged [in Tel Aviv], using mixers will be much more important.”\n• State Power After Coronavirus, Feat.

Story continues “Maintaining the privacy of your balances and ties to all past and future transactions, that’s not suspicious,” Yakobi said. “It’s just a normal thing that people should be doing.” Separately, he believes the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) May 2019 guidance indicates non-custodial services are exempt from money transmitter requirements because they don’t “accept and transmit value on behalf of users.” Attorney Gabriel Shapiro is less certain about FinCEN’s approach to non-custodial wallets with group transactions. “Money transmitter laws are ver Last 60 Days of Bitcoin's Closing Prices: [8657.64, 8745.89, 8680.88, 8406.52, 8445.43, 8367.85, 8596.83, 8909.82, 9358.59, 9316.63, 9508.99, 9350.53, 9392.88, 9344.37, 9293.52, 9180.96, 9613.42, 9729.80, 9795.94, 9865.12, 10116.67, 9856.61, 10208.24, 10326.05, 10214.38, 10312.12, 9889.42, 9934.43, 9690.14, 10142.00, 9633.39, 9608.48, 9686.44, 9663.18, 9924.52, 9650.17, 9341.71, 8820.52, 8784.49, 8672.46, 8599.51, 8562.45, 8869.67, 8787.79, 8755.25, 9078.76, 9122.55, 8909.95, 8108.12, 7923.64, 7909.73, 7911.43, 4970.79, 5563.71, 5200.37, 5392.31, 5014.48, 5225.63, 5238.44, 6191.19] Use the additional daily data provided in the input below for crucial context.

At around 21:30 UTC on Feb. 19, the price ofbitcoin(BTC) fell more than 4.5 percent from $10,086 to $9,610, according to CoinDesk’s BPI data, despite the technical signs appearing to favor thebulls. On exchanges like Bitstamp and Coinbase, prices dropped to as low as $9,280 before quickly being snatched up by opportunistic buyers looking to capitalize on the fall. BTC is now changing hands at around $9,719. Related:Oil Prices Are Now More Volatile Than Bitcoin “I’m a long holder and even I’m shook,” said BTC investor and podcast host Brad Mills in a recenttweet. “That usually means too much exposure,” he added. Indeed, the sell-off caught many traders unawares as the price of BTC shed much of the gains achieved over the last few days, with BTC’s price rising out of a prior area of resistance near $9,483 on Feb. 17 to above $10,000 a day later. So far sellers are intent on keeping prices below hourly resistances near $9,793. That will be a telling sign should prices remain below that level in the coming days, towards the end of the weekly closing session on Feb. 24. Related:Bitcoin News Roundup for Feb. 20, 2020 Yassine Elmandjra, a crypto analyst at Ark Invest, said in a recenttweetthat today marks BTC’s fifth-largest hourly price drop in history. “The only other time we’ve seen a greater dollar price drop is at the December 2017 peak,” Elmandjra said. Other notable cryptocurrencies are also down, with the likes ofXRP(XRP),ether(ETH) andbitcoin cash(BCH) down between 5.5 and 8.1 percent over a 24-hour period. Tezos, on the other hand, is still trending up 5.46 percent on a 24-hour basis and one of the only crypto in the top 20 to still be in the green, Messari data shows. UPDATE (Feb. 20, 00:25 UTC):Co-founder and managing partner atKenetic, Jehan Chu, told CoinDesk that “today’s sell-off was nothing more than short-term profit-taking in a market gaining steam.

People need help. At the same time, they need to stay home to reduce the risk of contracting the virus. In delivering emergency payments, the government should be aware of the risks of asking people to pick up money at a bank or another physical location. It should distribute any stimulus package in a way that’s sterile, efficient and accessible.\nThe government needs to look for ways to innovate the antiquated process of distributing checks by mail. In the interests of speed and safety, why not consider sending the stimulus in the form of stablecoins as a means to verify the transfer of assets?

A lack of understanding often translates into a lack of trust. Education should go hand in hand with distribution. Both government and citizens would need to be informed about how stablecoins work, how users exchange them into fiat money, and why they could potentially make money transfers easier in the future.\nThe advantages of using stablecoins are numerous. For starters, with digital assets, recipients do not need to own a house or even have a mailbox to receive them.\nDigital assets also prevent counterfeiting or lost checks. President Donald Trump has mentioned the idea of paying this stimulus in multiple installments. Digital assets can be put in escrow to be released at a certain time.

Consider that mailing checks to 250 million adult citizens, at an estimated cost of 55 cents each, could potentially translate to $138 million. And this does not include labor costs to prepare and deliver that mail, fuel costs for last-mile delivery, and the health and benefits of employees. Nor does it include the fees for return-to-sender services, the costs of correcting any checks incorrectly sent, any staff hired to monitor and confirm the checks are sent appropriately to all persons, or the staff to gather addresses from the IRS. The direct-to-citizen stimulus would already cost about $350 billion. Why should we spend at least $138 million sending it?\nIf the U.S. were to incorporate digital assets into this stimulus distribution, we would be the first-mover globally to use digital assets in such a way, ahead of other countries building their own digital currencies.

The rapper, who is currently masterminding a self-contained city with a cryptocurrency infrastructure in his native Senegal, has cited the networks track record of assisting entrepreneurs and businesses in developing countries as the leading reason for the decision. The move means the Akoin utility token will be fully compatible with Stellar wallets and interoperable with all digital assets and fiat currencies supported by Stellar. Its a global platform that were building and Africa is our target market because as we see it now, Africa has the most challenges, said the 46-year-old musician. The objective of Akoin and also Akon City is to provide a trusted currency alternative and empower individuals across the worlds youngest population . It is expected that, by 2045, the African workforce will be the largest in the world. Permission to create the 2,000 acre Akon City on land given to him in 2018 by Senegals president Macky Sall was granted last month . Once complete, the self-contained community will trade using the Akoin which is to be launched later this year. The project is based close to the picturesque coastal town of Mbodiene and an hour away from Blaise Diagne International Airport. By the time Akon City is complete, however, Senegals latest international airport will be officially opened just a ten-minute drive away. Groundwork It is understood groundwork on the ambitious scheme has already begun as the musician aims to have the city fully up and running by the end of the decade. Its a 10-year building block, so were doing it in stages, Akon recently explained to Los Angeles radio station Power FM. We started construction in March 2019 and stage two is going to be 2025. Estimates put the cost of constructing the self-sufficient, eco-friendly city at around $2 billion. The singer-turned-entrepreneur whose real name is Aliaume Thiam recently invested heavily in a solar power venture called Akon Lighting Africa which has taken off in many communities, providing 100,000 households with power as well as 13,000 street lights across 14 African nations. As well as cryptocurrency, Akon City will rely heavily on blockchain the technology which underpins Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Speaking at a recent blockchain conference in Malta, the artist pointed to the technology as a huge asset to Africa. I think that blockchain and crypto could be the saviour for Africa in many ways because it brings the power back to the people, he said. Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology offer a more secure currency that enables people in Africa to advance themselves independent of the government.

The situation contrasts with last week when the top cryptocurrency by market cap had dropped sharply in tandem with equities and bond yields. Bitcoin (BTC) found bids near $8,800 during Thursdays Asian trading hours and rose above $9,150 later in the day. Since then, prices have largely stayed well above the $9,000 mark. Related: Bitcoins Price Steady Over $9,000 As Sentiment Stays Positive At press time, bitcoin is changing hands at $9,100, representing a 2 percent gain on a 24-hour basis, having defended a brief dip to the psychological support of $9,000 at 01:00 UTC on Friday, according to CoinDesks Bitcoin Price Index . While bitcoin is looking bullish, the traditional markets are witnessing risk-averse trading, with a slide in equities and a rise in demand for gold and government bonds causing a drop in yields. At press time, major European indices including Germanys DAX, Frances CAC 40 and the U.K.s FTSE 100 are down between 1.5 percent and 2.2 percent. Asian stocks took a beating earlier today, too, while futures on Wall Street benchmark index, the S&P 500, are currently down 1 percent. Furthermore, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is currently trading at record lows below 0.8 percent, representing a 13 basis point drop on the day. Related: Bitcoin News Roundup for March 6, 2020 Gold, the classic safe-haven asset, is currently at an 11-day high of $1,681 per ounce. So its clear investors are selling risk and buying safe havens, likely because the coronavirus outbreak is starting to threaten to become a global pandemic and could cause far greater damage to the world economy than previously expected. Bitcoin a safe haven or risk asset? Bitcoins (much-debated) safe-haven narrative could strengthen again , given the cryptocurrency is flashing green amid the risk aversion in equities and the rising odds of an additional Federal Reserve rate cut. The interest rate market thinks the Fed will again cut rates by 50 basis points at its March 18 policy meeting, having delivered an emergency cut earlier this week . Story continues The crypto market community stands divided on whether bitcoin is a pro-risk or an anti-risk asset. Prominent observers including Anthony Pompliano of Morgan Creek Digital are of the opinion bitcoin is a hedge against monetary easing, while billionaire investor Michael Novogratz believes the cryptocurrency is an anti-risk or safe-haven asset. These arguments, however, could be challenged on the fact that bitcoin failed to score gains during last weeks stock market sell-off. The S&P 500 fell by 4 percent last week and bitcoin tanked by 13 percent in parallel. And while the coronavirus scare dominated market sentiment throughout February, the cryptocurrency suffered an 8.5 percent slide. If we look at the behavior of the bitcoin price over the last couple of weeks, as concerns over a global pandemic have ramped up, it is clear that bitcoin continues to behave more like a high-risk investment than like the safe haven which it promises to be, CoinDesk columnist and co-founder of the Open Money Initiative Jill Carlson noted earlier this week. That said, bitcoin has not had a strong positive correlation with equities either. For instance, the cryptocurrency fell from $13,000 to $6,500 during the second half of 2019, even though the S&P 500 rallied by nearly 10 percent. All in all, bitcoin appears to not be strongly correlated with other asset classes. It could yet become a safe haven, although that would require a deep investment in education, according to Carlson. From a technical analysis perspective, the cryptocurrency looks set to extend the ongoing rise toward higher resistance levels. 4-hour chart Bitcoin bounced up from $9,000 early Friday (marked by arrow), reinforcing the case for a rally to $9,550 put forward by an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout confirmed on Thursday. The breakout is also backed by an above-50 or bullish reading on the relative strength index. Daily chart Bitcoin is looking north with the MACD histogram producing higher lows in favor of the bulls. Further, the five-day average has crossed above the 10-day average, signaling a bullish shift in sentiment. Resistance at $9,312 (Feb. 4 low) could be put to test over the weekend. A violation there would expose the inverse head-and-shoulders breakout target of $9,550. Alternatively, if prices find acceptance under the former hurdle-turned-support of the inverse head-and-shoulders neckline $9,000, some buyers may exit the market, yielding a pullback to the 200-day average at $8,704. A close under $8,410 (Sundays low) is needed to invalidate the bullish reversal doji pattern confirmed on March 2. That would signal a continuation of the drop from February highs near $10,500.

A final hour sell-off saw Bitcoin slide through the first major support level at $6,581.67 and second major support level at $6,411.43.

Finding late support, Bitcoin broke back through the 23.6% FIB to wrap up the day at $6,370 levels. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000.

MakerDAOannouncedThursday Coinbase Commerce had integrated dai as a payment method, opening the cryptocurrency up to affiliated online merchants and online commerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce. The integration will introduce “merchants to a growing segment of the cryptocurrency market, allowing them to bridge the gap between DeFi dapp entrepreneurs and their own “real world” businesses,” according to the blog post. Related:Binance Adds 15 Fiat Currencies as Exchange Pushes Global Expansion Coinbase Commerce is a free-to-use service for online retailers, allowing them to integrate cryptocurrency into their businesses. Starting out with bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), bitcoin cash (BCH) and litecoin (LTC), the platform has only added support for USDC – the stablecoin created by Circle and Coinbase as part of the CENTRE consortium – since its February 2018 launch. CoinDesk has approached Coinbase for comment and will update this article if we hear back. With the new integration, merchants will also be able to earn interest on any received dai by transferring it into a Dai Savings Rate (DSR) smart contract on the maker protocol. The DSR interest rate was raised to 7.5 percent by community vote earlier in February. MakerDAO says the integration will boost perceptions of dai and, potentially, bring increased adoption.

Maker’s vaults create dai as users commit collateral assets into them. The Coinbase Commerce integration means dai could be potentially accepted at the roughly four million online merchants that use the payments service.

Please consider this coming from a purely pattern matching perspective as I don\'t know much about TA or candle sticks.\n\n[Figure 1 - Comparing Crises](https://i.imgur.com/xiPVlF5.png)\n\nComparing the crises, we can see that with a crash comes a relief followed by another dip. This seems true for most other dips of various scales and often grouped as fractal patterns. One such example at a finer scale being the following:\n\n[Figure 2 - Dip comparison](https://i.imgur.com/HgOy2l0.jpg)\n\nThis also shows that after a dip of "sufficient" magnitude, the price tends to bounce down to the local bottom again. This leads me to believe we will go lower during the next week. Perhaps back to 5\\~5.5k with a large wick or two above and below if I were to make a guess. Here are some other recent patterns I found matching the current dip:\n\n[Figure 3 - Barts](https://i.imgur.com/IKVHXzF.png)\n\nMy reasoning behind why these patterns / fractals repeat is because the collective psychology behind such events are usually the same, albeit at different magnitudes and scale. In this particular case, it seems well known enough to be termed an [Adam and Eve Double Top](http://thepatternsite.com/aedt.html). If this happens to be true, it also indicates we\'re heading a bit lower than where we are now.\n\nSince this sub seems open to TA, I also wanted to share some predictions on an algorithmic TA of sorts I\'ve been using. I find the rigorous back testing capabilities of number crunching a bit more appealing than the subjective qualities of a traditional TA approach.\n\n[Figure 4 - Algorithmic Trends](https://i.imgur.com/YilevZX.png)\n\nIts a layered regression (or heavily customized NN, if you can even call it that anymore) that works on extracting periodic movements and trends in time series data. It looks 15 days into the future and while the accuracy decreases the further into the future it goes on a finer time scale, it also indicates that we are currently entering a downtrend as well.\n\nTo summarize, I believe we are heading lower next week.

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 fell by 1.91% on Saturday. Following on from a 5.66% slide on Friday, Bitcoin ended the day at $6,250.0. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $6,068.4 before finding support. Bitcoin fell through the 23.6% FIB of $6,300 and the first major support level at $6,130.20 before recovering to $6,300 levels. The recovery was brief, however, with Bitcoin sliding to a late afternoon intraday low $6,050.0. Bitcoin fell back through the 23.6% FIB of $6,300 and the first major support level at $6,130.20. Late in the day, Bitcoin hit a high $6,301.2 before falling easing back to end the day in the deep red. The 23.6% FIB pinned Bitcoin back late on. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the top 10 cryptos, it was a mixed day for the majors. Cardano’s ADA (+3.49%), EOS (+0.64%), Litecoin (+1.94%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.72%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.81%) ended the day in the green. It was bearish for the rest of the pack, with Bitcoin Cash SV falling by 3.80% to lead the way down. Binance Coin (-1.29%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (-1.92%), Ethereum (-0.16%), Monero’s XMR (-0.04%), Stellar’s Lumen (-0.52%), and Tezos (-1.38%) also saw red. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $163.00bn to a Wednesday high $191.26bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $174.92bn. Bitcoin’s dominance hit 66% levels on Monday before falling to 62% levels. Bitcoin saw its dominance recover, however, to hover at around the 66% mark mid-week before sliding back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.9%. Trading volumes jumped from $130bn levels on Monday to $168.2bn levels on Tuesday before easing back to sub-$110bn levels on Thursday. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $112.59bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.69% to $6,206.8. A bearish start to the day saw Bitcoin rise to an early morning high $6,280.0 before falling to a low $6,189.1. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was also a bearish start to the day. Tron’s TRX and Stellar’s Lumen fell by 1.52% and by 1.31% respectively to lead the way down early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,230 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $6,397.93 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from the 23.6% FIB of $6,300. Barring a broad-based crypto rebound, the 23.6% FIB would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. Failure to move through to $6,230 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through to the morning low $6,181.1 would bring the first major support level at $6,076.03 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should continue to steer well clear of the second major support level at $5,902.07.

Trading of S&P 500 futures were halted Sunday following a5% decline,indicating U.S. stocks will plunge at market open. The panic selling followed the largest one-day decline in oil prices in 30 years, which was set-off bya breakdown in conversations between OPECand Russia to cut crude output. The outlook for the oil market is bleak, according to Goldman Sachs. In a note to clients, the investment bank cut its second quarter and third quarter estimate for oil prices to $20 a barrel. The jitters in oil are underpinned by broader market concerns about the economic ramifications of the ever-spreading corona-virus, which surpassed more than 100,000 confirmed cases over the weekend. Italy, a country reeling from its inability to control the virus outbreak, is limiting travel to the most impacted regions. Indeed, investors have been seeking safety over the course of the last month, fleeing risk assets from bitcoin to stocks. As such, the yield for30-year U.S. Teasury fell below 1%for the first time in history, while the 10-year hit a record low of less than 0.4%. Experts expect the Federal Reserve will once again slash interest rates to curb corona's fall-out. Investment banks such as Citigroup and Goldman Sachs have been sounding the alarm bells, noting in research to clients that market turmoil might continue until the end of the year. "The US economy could slip into a recession if the coronavirus contagion lasts for an extended period of time," Goldman Sachs said in a note reviewed by The Block. "In that situation, we estimate S&P 500 EPS would fall by 13% to $143 in 2020 and the index would decline to 2450 by year-end." The index ended Friday's trade at around 2,972, a more than 12% decline since February 19. As for bitcoin, the price of the digital currency—which has been lauded as both a safe haven and uncorrelated asset by some market pontificators—has largely been in lock-step with the broader market. It has dipped below $8,000 Monday morning, trading down more than 12% since Saturday. Meanwhile, CME Group Bitcoin futures — arguably the easiest product for traditional traders, hedge funds, and large asset managers to get exposure to bitcoin — had seen volumes fall off a cliff since breaching $1 billion in traded volume the day before the S&P500 peaked. The 7-day rolling average trading volume of CME bitcoin futures is down more than 75% since then.... - 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: ['(Bloomberg Opinion) -- If the recent selloff in markets proves anything, it’s that for too many years too many people were focused solely on returns with zero consideration for risk or safety. The last time anyone really thought about safety in markets was during the financial crisis more than a decade ago, when investors couldn’t get enough government bonds or cash.\nBut as the economy recovered, so did investors’ appetite for risk. A sort of cult of equity developed, with the unshakable belief that stocks would keep going up, and if they ever went down – which they did fairly sharply in the second half of 2015 and the end of 2018 - they would always come back – which they always did. “Buy the dip” became an actual strategy. The American Association of Individual Investors found that its members had an almost 66% allocation to stocks in December, up from 41% at the bottom of the financial crisis.\nMore importantly, the definition of safe morphed as stocks soared to new heights. If you went to your financial advisor and told him or her that your risk tolerance was low, he or she probably would have put your money in a portfolio of stocks that had a history of rising, not because they had any defensive qualities. But as we have seen this month, all stocks can go down with equal ferocity. That cult of equity has been shattered – perhaps permanently.\nThe prevailing feature of this bear market is that nothing has really been safe. If you had any exposure to bonds, it was probably in the form of investment grade or high-yield, high-risk debt, which were down almost as much as stocks until the stimulus packages from the government and Federal Reserve. And nobody contemplated a scenario where municipal bonds would not be safe. General obligation munis are backed by the unlimited taxing power of municipalities, but yet they were not spared, and that market ceased functioning.\nU.S. Treasury notes and bonds did provide some diversification benefits, but only to a point. After yields bottomed a couple of weeks ago, a massive unwinding of certain trades and the promise of massive government borrowing to fund the fiscal rescue plan drove yields higher. For decades, bonds mixed with stocks was good enough to achieve diversification, but will probably be less useful going forward.\nGold has been a bit of a disappointment. The whole reason people buy it is for situations like this, and it hasn’t worked, initially taking a big dive from about $1,680 an ounce to $1,471 in a matter of weeks. Although something similar happened in the last crisis, with gold peaking early at $1,000 as Bear Stearns collapsed, and then proceed to go down as the financial system unraveled, before finally turning and surging to $1,900. Although gold has rebounded somewhat, those expecting gold to go up when stocks went down were let down. Similarly, Bitcoin has also been less than underwhelming. The digital currency, which sometimes trades like a haven asset, has mostly traded as a risk asset instead, though it has also recovered somewhat just like with gold.\nMoney market funds are struggling to avoid a situation like what happened in 2008, when the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy caused the Reserve Primary fund to “break the buck,” which led to a run on money market funds. The commercial paper market is smaller than it used to be, but money market and ultrashort duration bond funds don’t strike me as very safe here without help from the Fed.\nOnly Treasury bills or cash would have provided you with the safety you desired. But cash has its own set of issues and concerns. If you have more than $250,000 in one bank, there is a chance that it’s not entirely safe, either, which people were forced to think about in 2008. Also, it looks like the government and the Fed will be dropping money out of helicopters, and people are - perhaps prematurely - starting to talk about inflation again. So on a long-term basis, cash makes less sense.\nAs for as the safety of different investment vehicles, exchange-traded funds that own bonds are again taking heat for trading at a significant discount to their underlying assets (though I wrote about this a few years ago, and it is a feature, not a bug, of ETFs). And we are again looking at a situation where there is a possibility that open-end mutual funds might gate redemptions for liquidity reasons.\nAll of this forces an investor to ask themselves what is safe? Is anything really safe? The days of dollar-cost-averaging a standard portfolio where 80% is invested in stocks and 20% is invested in bonds and watching your money grow at 10% a year and end up with a few million dollars at retirement are likely over. Returns will undoubtedly be lower, forcing people to save more and consume less—which is not what is needed for an economic recovery.\nMy beliefs about risk were shaped years ago reading books such as “The Black Swan” and “The (Mis)behavior of Markets,” which focused on ideas like how financial markets follow a power-law distribution, and not a normal distribution, and that markets are vulnerable to large, unforeseen events. Knowing this, you try to build a portfolio that gives you a modicum of exposure to the upside, but truncates your exposure to the downside.\nThe bears and the financial doomsday preppers were widely ridiculed during the bull market. I won’t say they have been vindicated, but people’s perception of risk has been forever altered.\nThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg LP and its owners.\nJared Dillian is the editor and publisher of The Daily Dirtnap, investment strategist at Mauldin Economics, and the author of "Street Freak" and "All the Evil of This World."

James Bond wore it in “Thunderball,” although his featured a miniature Geiger counter. The company has rereleased the watch, black and white “panda” face and all, to a new generation and it’s doing something a bit different this time. Instead of offering a certificate of authenticity, the company is registering each watch on a private blockchain that will follow its provenance from owner to owner. As such, it’s a rare example of an enterprise blockchain project that made its way to real-world deployment; most corporate dabbling with distributed ledgers has resulted in little more than hype. Related: Bitcoin News Roundup for March 30, 2020 “The Breitling Top Time Limited Edition will be the brand’s first watch offered with a blockchain-based digital passport, which confirms the authenticity and ownership of the watch with a single click,” the company said in a press release. Breitling is using a blockchain from valuables registrar Arianee , a French company whose aim is to build “perpetual relationships between brands and owners.” The solution ties the watch’s warranty to the watch itself and not to any paper trail, allowing owners to have their pieces serviced by authorized dealers based on the watch’s digital signature. The Arianee blockchain combines permissioned and permissionless elements through its use of a consensus mechanism it’s calling “proof-of-authority.” It is permissionless in the sense that users who want to sell products to one another can interact with the blockchain, but the verifying of the ledger and issuance of tokens is controlled by the participating businesses. Breitling, founded in 1884, is being a good sport about the project, saying the system allows users to “engage with the brand anonymously” and take part in “new online services ranging from advanced clienteling to a revolutionary care program.” Related: Old Rivals Oracle and IBM Want Their Blockchains to Talk to Each Other The watch nerd will note that the Top Time has a linear scale on its bezel instead of a tachymeter . This is called a decimal scale and was offered on some watches in the 1960s. It was, apparently , used for scientific timings, splitting each minute into 100 sections rather than the usual 60. The watch costs $4,990, or about 80 percent of the current price of one bitcoin . Breitling, one of the first manufacturers to offer online sales , is shipping the Top Time this month.

It is pretty difficult and close to impossible for a small-scale investor to delve into this lucrative and high rewarding industry due to the expensive and cumbersome processes that are involved in creating these items. The business operation of Goldario does not only deal in Emerald Mines , as they own a Gemstones Cutting and Polishing Factory, a Jewellery Manufacturing Company, and jewelry retails business. The project already has an established infrastructure in Brazil that is registered with company name G44 SA and possesses Emerald Mines that has an estimated deposit of $3 billion. About The GLD Token With the Goldario (GLD) token, big-time investors, as well as small scale investors with low ventures, can own a Gold and Emerald mining, Jewellery Manufacturing and Retail Shops business as the holders of this token are apportioned a digitized share in gold and emerald mines and in-house jewellery making for the world market that will help them to earn profit from various underlying businesses. The token is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency that was built on the Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20). Every investor of the GLD token during the token sale is entitled to some portion of a potential and passive income creating business. How GLD Can Revolutionize the Jewellery Industry The priority of the Goldario platform is not only on the usage of the GLD token as it also encourages investors to maximize their chances of investing in the precious metals industry by affording them the opportunity to redeem their GLD tokens in the form Gems and Gold Jewellery through the launch of the GLD token. Story continues GLD is in a great position to become the leading platform of choice for the consumers and various businesses that deal in the jewelry industry, as it offers a potential underlying asset backing which allows users to obtain and have entitlement over physical mines, jewelry production factories , and Jewellery retail businesses from across the world. Key Facts About the GLD Token The GLD token is considered to be a competitor to established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and is open to global business investors and cryptocurrency lovers. The following are reasons why the GLD token should be considered. It is a first of its kind cryptocurrency to be used in the redemption of Gems and Gold. Its owners are a world-renowned and registered group of company with existing successful businesses. It has a lower investment plan that starts from $125 which small scale investors can take advantage of. It has a cryptocurrency exchange that is called the Inoex Exchange. It utilizes the trustless system of the blockchain. It is expected to be a top-ranking cryptocurrency in a few years time.

The top cryptocurrency fell by nearly 10 percent from $8,900 to $8,000 on Sunday to register its single-biggest daily decline since September 2019, according to Bitstamp data. Then on Monday, bitcoin (BTC) slipped further to two-month lows below $7,700 during the Asian trading hours. At press time, the cryptocurrency’s global average price, as calculated by CoinDesk’sBitcoin Price Index, has recovered somewhat to $7,925. Related:Bitcoin Back Over $8K as Traditional Markets Rebound While the sudden price drop has taken place alongside abloody day in the traditional markets, there may be another factor driving down bitcoin’s value so severely. “The sudden drop in prices seems to arise out of the selling of BTC by PlusToken,” Ashish Singhal, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange CoinSwitch.co told CoinDesk. On Saturday, scammers in control of the remaining wallets of the China-based Ponzi scheme moved 13,000 BTC (worth around $101 million currently, but close to $120 million at the time) to so-called “mixers” and may have offloaded their holdings, causing prices to fall sharply, according to Singhal. Mixers are used to obfuscate the source of a crypto transaction by outputting batches with different coins than are sent in. PlusToken had posed as a cryptocurrency wallet and swindled investors out of possibly as much as $2 billion in cryptocurrency by promising rewards. While six of its masterminds were arrested in June 2019, the authorities could not seize 180,000 BTC, 6,400,000ether(ETH) and 111,000 tether (USDT), which were sent from scam victims to PlusToken wallets,according to Chainalysis. Related:Kraken Exchange Pledges India Expansion as Nation Reopens for Crypto Business Trader Kevin Svenson has alsoassociatedthe latest price drop with PlusToken holdings being dumped into the market. People in control of the PlusToken walletshave been liquidatingtheir stolen bitcoins since August and likely played a big role in pushing bitcoin down from $12,000 to $6,500 in the four months to November. asnoted byErgo Research at the time. Back in December, the scammers still controlled 20,000 bitcoins, of which, 13,000 look to have been moved for liquidation over the weekend. The onchain activity on Saturday wasagain notedby Ergo Research: Some, of course, may argue that moving coins to mixers does not necessarily result in liquidation and the sell-off seen from Sunday was caused by the coronavirus-led crash in the global financial markets. Indeed, negative global macro factors – such as the equity market sell-off and record low in the U.S. government bond yield – may have also played a role in pushing bitcoin lower, asnoted bypopular analyst Jacob Canfield. Still, a major PlusToken liquidation could well have weighed heavy over bitcoin’s price if it did occur. The cryptocurrency was trading steadily above $9,000 on Saturday as the scammed coins were being moved to mixers and fell sharply the following day. Further, traditional markets were closed over the weekend. Canfield too listed a PlusToken dump as one of the factors possibly responsible for bitcoin’s price drop. So how did bitcoin’s price drop look from a technical perspective? “Bitcoin needed higher prices on the 4-hour chart to get itself into a neutral stance between $9,200-$9,600,” popular Twitter analystMr. Andersontold CoinDesk. “Once that battle was lost it left the 12-hour chart in an ugly position as well and things snowballed quickly,” Anderson said. In the aftermath, the head-and-shoulders breakdown, a bearish reversal pattern, seen on the daily chart suggests the rally from December lows near $6,400 has ended and the bears have regained control. The bias will remain bearish as long as prices are holding below the former support-turned-resistance of the neckline, currently placed at $8,450. A bullish reversal now requires a convincing UTC close above the March 7 high of $9,213. That would invalidate the lower-highs setup.

The use of manipulative strategies has seen the unregulated nature of cryptocurrencies rear its ugly head once again, with a trader or set of traders ‘spoofing’ a $50 million buy order on BitMEX to entice people into buying before pulling the order. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently posted an update about spoofing to its social media channels, pleading with traders to whistleblow on colleagues who were suspected of engaging in price manipulation. The post reads: “[Spoofing] is when a trader has the intent to manipulate prices by entering orders and then cancelling them to give an artificial impression of market conditions. “It is a form of market manipulation punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment per violation. Traders ‘spoof’ when they place an order in a futures market with the intention to cancel the order prior to execution.” BitMEX warned for not being authorised to operate by the FCA in the UK. Not a good day to see clear spoofing return to the order books as price breaks to the upside. https://t.co/3NUAAnybUE — Oliver Knight (@KnightCoinRivet) March 5, 2020 The technique was also seen on BitMEX throughout February’s rally to $10,500, although it has been going on since the 2017 bull run with cases being reported in September 2018. Due to Bitcoin exchanges being largely unregulated, there is no way to prevent or clamp down on illicit trading techniques. The SEC and CFTC in the US could impose rules to safeguard investors but BitMEX is inaccessible across all 50 states. In the UK, meanwhile, the Financial Conduct Authority has issued a warning to BitMEX for “carrying on regulated activities which require authorisation”. “This firm is not authorised by us and is targeting people in the UK,” the statement read, before warning investors to “be especially wary of dealing with this unauthorised firm and how to protect yourself from scammers”. Responding to the FCA warning, a BitMEX spokesman said the company was already seeking advice. “We are working closely with our advisers to assess the situation,” they told Coin Rivet. “There is nothing more we can add at this time.” Story continues Bitcoin price Having broken above the daily 200 moving average and the $8,830 level of resistance Bitcoin is now setting its sights on the $9,330 level ahead of a potential move towards $10,000. However, in order to confirm a breakout this evening’s daily candle needs to close above $8,830, with a drawdown below that point marking a clear rejection. The price of Bitcoin has risen intriguingly alongside global equity markets, all of which slumped dramatically last week as fears grow surrounding a coronavirus pandemic.

The intergovernmental standards group published its assessment of the U.S.’s compliance with its banking rules, evaluating laws and regulations around digital assets and other areas on Tuesday.

That’s three times higher than FATF’s required due diligence trigger, and could, in the watchdog’s view, let bad actors slip through. “This higher threshold is not clearly supported by low ML/TF risks,” FATF wrote. U.S regulators also lag in their investigation of convertible virtual currency (CVC) businesses, according to FATF. Their strategy “does not specifically identify higher risk virtual asset service providers (VASP),” making their “various” examinations of high-volume exchanges and peer-to-peer networks insufficient. “Therefore, it is not entirely clear whether the current approach is sufficiently risk focused, especially since only 30% of all registered CVC providers have been inspected since 2014,” FATF wrote.

Many bullish investment theses for bitcoin are grounded in expectations that the upcoming halving of block rewards will cause the bitcoin (BTC) price to increase. Previous supply constrictions, from 50 BTC to 25 BTC and 25 BTC to, where we currently stand, at 12.5 BTC, have had that effect. Still, given the rare nature of these events, our data points are limited and increase the anticipation and speculation around upcoming halving some time in May 2020. There are many great pieces on the mechanics of a BTC halving and how they were described in the original white paper and subsequently coded into the structure of bitcoin. So I will assume familiarity with these concepts going forward as we try to understand the supply constriction narrative of the halving thesis. Related: Corporate America Knows the Bailout Is Baked In See also: Bitcoin Halving, Explained Unfortunately, many investors are pointing to the halving as a catalyst for a price increase in the face of a difficult bitcoin market, which has had three straight quarters of negative returns, and have set sky high expectations for what sort of price action we may see after. I certainly believe that the halving will have a positive impact on price, but I am concerned by investors expecting parabolic gains in the fashion of 2017. As it currently stands, the bullish thesis around the halving is that as block rewards get cut in half, the number of miners able to sustain their operations will decline. Since fewer BTC are being brought into circulation, there should also be some reduced sell pressure as miners often sell BTC to fund operations in their local currency. One could then conclude that the supply constriction will allow the price to appreciate. While I generally believe this thesis to be sound, I think it hinges on the assumption that a drop in block rewards will force miners offline, and that demand for bitcoin will not decline and this merits further analysis.

The President and bipartisan legislators have suggested that the telecom giant spies for Beijing. The Department of Commerce put Huawei on the "entity list" in May last year, which severely restricts its ability to do business with U.S. companies. Huawei's U.S. chief security officer told the Journal that America would hurt itself by sidelining the company, as it gets left behind on technology. "If the U.S. wants 5G hardware and software developed by a U.S. or European company, the government should encourage companies to begin negotiations with Huawei to license our 5G technology," Purdy told the Journal.

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 rose by 1.96% on Thursday. Following on from a 3.83% rally on Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $6,810.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning intraday low $6,580 before making a move. Steering clear of the first major support level at $6,327.83, Bitcoin rallied to a late afternoon intraday high $7,283.5. Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $6,874.33 and the second major resistance level at $7,073.67. The first visit to $7,000 levels since 12 th March was short-lived, however, with Bitcoin sliding back to sub-$7,000 levels. The pullback saw Bitcoin fall through the major resistance levels to limit the upside on the day. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was also a bullish day. Bitcoin Cash SV (+4.33%) and Monero’s XMR (+4.12%) led the way on Thursday. Binance Coin (+2.11%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+2.84%), Cardano’s ADA (+2.86%), Ethereum (+3.96%), Tezos (+2.81%), and Tron’s TRX (+2.81%) also found strong support. EOS (+1.28%), Litecoin (+1.63%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.53%), and Stellar’s Lumen (+0.16%) trailed the back. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $168.04bn to a Thursday high $197.15bn. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $191.02bn. Bitcoin’s dominance eased back to sub-65% levels following Tuesday’s modest gain before bouncing back to visit 66% levels on Thursday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 65.4%. 24-hour trading volumes recovered from sub-$100bn levels last Sunday to hit $158bn levels on Thursday. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $144.90bn. This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down by 0.01% to $6,810.0. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $6,730.1 before striking a high $6,844.7. Story continues Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Binance Coin (+1.10%), Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.54%), and Tezos (+1.35%) led the way early on. Ripple’s XRP fell by 0.27% to buck the trend early on. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,900 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,202.8 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break back through to $7,000 levels. Barring another crypto rally, resistance at $7,000 would likely leave Bitcoin short of the first major resistance level. Failure to move back through to $6,900 levels could see Bitcoin fall deeper into the red. A fall back through the morning low $6,730.1 would bring the first major support level at $6,499.3 into play. Barring an extended crypto sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer of the 23.6% FIB of $6,300.

Last month’s crash in cryptocurrency prices has prompted manufacturers to sell inventories at a discount, in some cases as steep as 20 percent, over the past few weeks. Both the newest models and slightly older machines have been marked down. Complicating the matter is the imminent bitcoin (BTC) halving in May that will reduce the network’s mining reward by half, causing most miners to be less profitable if bitcoin’s price doesn’t increase significantly by then.

After bitcoin’s March 12 crash – the worst sell-off in seven years – the price is now cut by 20 percent to $2,000 per unit. The WhatsMiner M20S, a less advanced but popular model that boosted MicroBT’s market share against major rival Bitmain in 2019, is also seeing a 20 percent price cut from $1,679 to now $1,340, DJ Miner’s website shows . Pangolinminers, another distributor for MicroBT shows similar pricing rollbacks on its website. Similarly, while Bitmain is advertising $1,567 for its AntMiner S17+ with a computing power of 67 terahashes per second, various resellers are posting quotes on WeChat seen by CoinDesk at around $1,300 per unit. Related: HIVE Blockchain to Double Bitcoin Mining Capacity Through $2.8M Share Deal The Beijing-based mining giant has previously announced the pricing for its latest flagship AntMiner S19 Pro at about $2,900 per unit but the shipment won’t take place until May and so far is only available for investors inside China. See also: How Bitcoin’s Price Slump Is Changing the Geography of Mining Efficient market It is important to note that most specialized bitcoin computers, known as ASICs, had already been dropping in price since the fourth quarter of last year, as the manufacturers adjusted their strategies in line with bitcoin’s price swing. Story continues These machines are priced assuming it would take the buyer on average 15 months to make back their equipment investment. Holding the payback period relatively constant, manufacturers would adjust the prices of their equipment according to bitcoin’s market price and the level of competition on the network – the two factors that determine how much revenue a miner can generate in a day. Miner pricing data compiled by research startup TokenInsight shows that, for example, the Whatsminer M20S and the AntMiner S17 Pro were priced at around $2,400 and $3,000, respectively, in mid-October 2019. The price for both had dropped to around $1,500 as of March 10.

That was the question posed by Blockstream’s Selene Jin at the Advancing Bitcoin conference in London on Thursday, in a room with some of the most hardcore bitcoiners on the planet. Jin pointed out that bitcoiners on Twitter tend to argue that: “Normies don’t understand money, have no long-term vision or the ability to think outside the box.” Related:Bitcoin Takes a Dive After the Longest Daily Winning Run Since September But she has a different opinion of what’s holding back broader adoption. More “normies” might use bitcoin if the user experience (UX) was better, if – in Silicon Valley tech speak – they were “delighted” to use the apps and felt “empowered” by them, she argued. Jin’s comments at the two-day event spoke to the difficulty of moving the needle on crypto adoption, even with 11 years under bitcoin’s belt. “Bitcoin UX improved a lot [over the years]. But there are ways we can improve that to push bitcoin even further,” Jin, Blockstream’s director of UX, said. She argued that most developers try to build an app with the features they want themselves, which isn’t necessarily what the average Joe is looking for. UX is often overlooked in bitcoin’s often very technical community. Jin argued that bitcoiners are fascinated by the new currency for a variety of reasons: monetary revolution, technological exploration and getting rich. (She’s in it for all three, she said.) Related:Why Cypherpunk Witches Love Bitcoin “I’m trying to help fix the user experience here because if we don’t do that, these three things can’t happen,” Jin said. With the halving around the corner, it could be a particularly good time to focus on improving bitcoin’s user experience. If the price goes up (which is still a big “if” that people are debating profusely), it could bring in a lot of new users, as is the pattern for bitcoin over the past decade. “Think of it like ‘Hungry Hungry Hippos,'” Coinfloor exchange founder and CEO Obi Nwosu said in a panel, referencing the 1980s children’s game. “When it comes, each exchange will be trying to get as many customers as possible. We need a service that deals with their requirements,” he added, nodding to Jin’s talk. One little-known proposal discussed at the event was to make memorizing bitcoin addresses as easy as memorizing a phone number. Right now that’s far from the case. Instead of being fewer than 10 digits, bitcoin addresses, where bitcoin is stored and transaction IDs are long, random strings of letters and numbers. “There is no way anyone can memorize it – unless you’re someone who memorizes digits of pi for fun. These IDs are always communicated by copy and paste,” bitcoin developer and educator Jimmy Song said. That’s why, when he saw a proposal for EasyPaySy posted to the bitcoin developeremail list, he was intrigued. EasyPaySy allows these accounts to be represented in a much easier form, as short and human-readable as a phone number or as readable as an email address. This approach isn’t without downsides. It would require more data to be stored on the bitcoin blockchain (the more slimmed down, the easier it is for more users to run). Plus, users potentially have to spend more time backing up such accounts. One attendee argued that the debacle involving economist and bitcoin critic Peter Schiff recently “losing his bitcoin password” showed that taking care of one’s bitcoin is already hard enough as is for many people. Still, Song argued that the benefits might outweigh the disadvantages. But user-facing improvements aren’t the only changes being considered. Many UX improvements start at the lowest levels of the bitcoin code. The faster developers can build new features, the faster they can bubble up to users. This realm of UX problems was probably the biggest focus of Advancing Bitcoin. One such improvement revolves around “testnet,” a network that’s like a dummy clone of bitcoin where developers test their apps and new bitcoin features to get a better idea of how they’ll work in the real world. Bitcoin Core contributor Kalle Alm has beenbuilding SigNet, an alternative that he describes as “testnet, but without all the broken parts.” The network is notoriously unreliable and “reorgs” all the time, an event where transactions that were considered legit for a short time, aren’t anymore. This bump is much less common on the real bitcoin network. Plus, there are people mining testnet coins and earning no money from it, since the mined dummy coins are supposed to be free. Alm argues there isn’t a point to this, since decentralization, achieved with the help of mining, isn’t really required on testnet. “I don’t even know what [testnet miners] are doing. No government is gonna come in and say, ‘Give me the test coins!'” Alm said. With these problems fixed, Alm thinks SigNet could play a big role in testing network-wide features added to bitcoin. For example, developers could soon use it to test Schnorr and Taproot, a privacy and scalability-focused bundle of changes that’s been making progress this year. But SigNet is just the tip of the iceberg. New bitcoin smart contract languageMiniscript, unveiled last year, was the subject of several talks at the conference. Smart contracts require various conditions to be met in order to unlock and send funds, such as not allowing bitcoins to be sent up until a certain day. Bitcoin’s built-in smart contract language Script is notoriously difficult to use, but Miniscript makes it easier for more developers to give it a shot, with the potential of making these smart contracts more available for more users.

Binance Coin, Ethereum and Monero’s XMR led the way with gains of 3.14%, 2.12%, and 2.32% respectively. Bitcoin Cash ABC (+1.26%), EOS (+1.25%), Ripple’s XRP (+1.17%), Stellar’s Lumen (+1.66%), and Tezos (+1.29%) also found support.

Bitcoin Cash ABC (+0.74%), Bitcoin Cash SV (+0.39%), Ethereum (+0.08%), Stellar’s Lumen (0.07%) were also in positive territory. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $6,850 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,042.73 into play.

The extension will give users access to .crypto domain names directly from the Chrome browser, currently the most-used web browser. Developed by Unstoppable Domains, .crypto domains are smart contracts on the Ethereum network, meaning to take down a site an attacker would have to take down the overall network. The new tool closely follows Unstoppable Domains’eponymous browser launch, unveiled at the ETHDenver conference in late February. Related:The Domain Startups Building an Uncensorable Internet on Top of Ethereum But the two-year-old ethereum-based startup –backed by $4 millionin Tim Draper seed funding and driven by its founders’ goal to get ahead of global censorship – always aimed higher than being a browser builder, according to founder Brad Kam. “We don’t intend to be a browser company, nor do we want to be a browser company,” said founder Brad Kam. “We want browsers to support the decentralized web and we wanted to provide a developer tool that could help inspire that.” Releasing a chrome browser extension will help Unstoppable Domains’ visibility and likely market penetration, too. Kam declined to say how many times the Unstoppable browser had been downloaded since its launch a few weeks back, but it surely pales in comparison to Chrome’s global dominance; the Google release represented58 percent of the marketin March, according to W3counter.com.

Unicorns are becoming more like octopuses where they have their hands in various areas of the crypto ecosystem.”\nMeanwhile, the declines on the fundraising side of the report weren’t quite as stark. Post-seed rounds took up eight percentage points more of overall fundraising deals in 2019, a sign of the sector’s maturation.\n“I think that’s something we should expect to see as well, as the industry matures, there will be enough deal flow and there will be enough exits as well to allow many of the crypto VCs to be successful,” he said.\nFundraising overall decreased by 40 percent to $2.24 billion and the number of deals dropped by 122. Equity fundraising decreased by less, showing only an 18 percent drop. The rise of bitcoin in the second and third quarter of 2019 didn’t stave off the funding drop, and the industry should assume going into 2020 that the global economic downturn will further affect funding deals, the report said.\nRelated:‘They Have the Users’: Binance CEO Explains Why He Bought CoinMarketCap\nLast year did see a doubling of corporate venture capital involvement, taking up 6 percent of the deals.

And that’s boosting clothing sales for Walmart—but mostly of tops. Get it? That fact comes from Walmart’s EVP of corporate affairs Dan Bartlett on Yahoo Finance live on Thursday. “In one of your previous segments you were talking about people with Zoom, and doing those types of conferencing: We’re seeing increased sales in tops, but not bottoms. So, people who are concerned, obviously, from the waist up,” Bartlett said. “These behaviors are going to continue to change and evolve as people get accustomed to this new lifestyle, if you will. And we’re able to accommodate that, both online and in our stores.” Video conference. (Zoom) Bartlett said Walmart ( WMT ) is seeing “ massive volume ” right now in U.S. online orders and, in some states, in-store sales as well. “That will probably ebb and flow based on the news” in each state, Bartlett allowed. Walmart, like Target and Kroger , is also taking drastic steps in its stores to sanitize cash registers and keep customers six feet apart from each other in checkout lines. In addition to tops and cleaning products like Purell, Bartlett says Walmart is seeing a specific sales boost in home entertainment items like DVDs (they’re not dead yet), and crafting items like popsicle sticks. “I think we’ve sold over 30 million popsicle sticks,” Bartlett says.

Target, CVS, Walgreens, and many grocery chains also remain open. While many big companies have been forced to lay off millions of workers , Walmart last week said it planned to hire 150,000 new hourly associates in the U.S., and announced $550 million in cash bonuses to reward workers amid the coronavirus pandemic that has all but shut down the economy.

Nic Carter, a partner at Castle Island Ventures and co-founder of the blockchain analytics startup CoinMetrics, wrote last week for CoinDesk that the devaluation of money “does not happen immediately, but over time.” Related:Introducing CoinDesk’s All-New Newsletters The 2008 financial crisis prompted the Federal Reserve to double total assets in a matter of weeks, and then doubled the size of the balance sheet again to more than $4 trillion over the next few years. But it took the money supply, as measured by M2, more than 12 years to double, at least partly because of low demand for loans in the years after the crisis. The bitcoin market’s tepid reaction thus far to the Federal Reserve’s announcement of essentiallyunbounded quantitative easingmight disappoint some bitcoiners who are looking for a faster pump. Sylvain Saurel, author of the blogIn Bitcoin We Trust, wrote last week that a separate move by U.S. regulators to reduce bank reserve requirements could lead to new money creation “ad infinitum.” “This unprecedented currency devaluation in such a short period of time has been decided by the Federal Reserve in a totally arbitrary manner,” Saurel wrote. His conclusion, essentially, was that people should buy bitcoin. Jay Hao, CEO of the Malta-based cryptocurrency exchange OKEx, wrote last weekin a blog postthat “more proactive measures” would be needed beyond “QE infinity.” Those could include a new “super-sovereign currency” to address trade and economic imbalances created by the U.S. dollar’s dominant role in global finance. “At present, bitcoin possesses the characteristics of a super-sovereign currency,” Hao wrote. The investment narrative that bitcoin is a “harder” currency than U.S. dollars and is getting additional traction from next month’s “halving” on the bitcoin blockchain – the once-every-four-years occurrence by which the pace of issuance of new units of the cryptocurrency gets cut in half. Traders are expected to get a chance this week to observe how prices of two bitcoin-offshoot cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), perform as they go through their own quadrennial halvings. Some analysts said last month that bitcoin was trading in sync with U.S. stocks. That was seen as a sign that some investors were selling the cryptocurrency as part of anindiscriminate flight to safety– into dollars. Olga Feldmeier, CEO of the digital-asset exchange Smart Valor and a self-described “outright bitcoin maximalist,” says bitcoin’s price plunge earlier this year undercuts hopes that the cryptocurrency would serve as a safe-haven asset in times of market turmoil. She instead recommended “tokenized gold” – digital tokens like the Pax Gold (PAXG) – that offer a crypto-friendly way of investing in the yellow metal, long seen as a reliable inflation hedge. Kraken, a San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange, noted in an April 4blog postthat the volume of PAXG trading on its platform surged to $13 million in March, a six-fold increase from February levels. “Kraken clients appear to see PAXG as a safe haven of late since it is backed by gold, which typically acts as a safe haven amidst economic uncertainty,” according to the post. But there are some indications that bitcoin might be trading more like gold in recent weeks. VanEck, a money-management firm that offers a bitcoin trust to qualified institutional buyers, saysbitcoin’s price correlation with gold jumped to 0.47during the last couple weeks of March, from an average 0.03 over the past eight years. (A correlation of 1 implies perfect synchronicity.) The next couple months could prove pivotal for bitcoin as the U.S. suffers theworst stretch of the pandemic’s health crisisand moves into the economic-recovery phase. Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, told CNBC last week the recently passed $2 trillion aid packagewould not be enough. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he wouldask Congress for more moneyif a $350 billion pool for small businesses runs out. “More bazookas needed,” executives for the Wall Street dealer Jefferies wrote Friday in an open letter to clients and colleagues. Is bitcoin the real digital gold? With more financial “bazookas” getting hoisted into position, cryptocurrency markets will serve as the proving ground. “Many Bitcoin advocates think it will prove to be a better long-term store of value than gold,” according to the Kraken blog post. “Only time will tell.” Editor’s caveat: No idea if this $20 “Bitcoin Logo V2 Neck Gaiter Face Mask” is real. If so the free publicity here does NOT represent an endorsement. It seems like a high price for a mostly polyester bandana. But it certainly is a sign of the times. Bitcoin is again looking to establish a strong foothold above $7,000, having tested dip demand with a pullback to $6,600 over the weekend. The cryptocurrency printed a high above $7,100 early Monday and is currently changing hands around $7,090. The bulls have repeatedly failed to keep gains above the $7,000 mark over the last three weeks, forcing investors to question the sustainability of recovery rally from the March 19 low of $3,867. Even so, the bias remains bullish, as a pennant breakout confirmed April 2 is still intact. As a result, the cryptocurrency remains on the hunt for a test of the descending 50-day average, currently at $7,522. If the upside break of $7,000 resistance again proves to be short-lived, the immediate bullish outlook would be neutralized. The bias would turn bearish if prices fall below support at the weekend low of $6,610. That would open the doors to the higher low of $5,856 created March 30. • How to Spot Bitcoin’s Golden or Death Cross Using Simple Moving Averages • Bitcoin Falls Through Key Average as Traditional Markets Hit Record Highs... - Reddit Posts (Sample): [['u/jstolfi', 'Mining pools shutting down', 56, '2020-04-08 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/fwu43z/mining_pools_shutting_down/', '[Chinese mining pool BytePool shuts down.](https://decrypt.co/24844/chinese-bitcoin-mining-operator-shutters-major-pool-profitability-tanks)\n\n[BitFury, once one of the largest pools, has apparently evaporated.](https://www.blockchain.com/charts/pools)', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/fwu43z/mining_pools_shutting_down/', 'fwu43z', [['u/SnapshillBot', 31, '2020-04-08 00:24', 'https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/fwu43z/mining_pools_shutting_down/fmqeur3/', 'I fired up a Bitcoin miner for the first time today.

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: ["NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2020 /Beginning April 1st, Bione exchange has brought on Eric Ma as the new CEO. Previously the Global Community Manager for CoinMarketCap, Mr. Ma will bring his experiences to help Bione expand internationally. Mr. Ma has accepted to participate in this interview to discuss the challenges and opportunities that he'll face as CEO of Bione.HL:Can you give me a general introduction of Bione, the exchange you are now CEO of?\nEM: First off, I'm very honored to have this opportunity. I'm also very excited to be working with the Bione team to expand internationally! Bione was founded in May 2018 and is a rapidly growing crypto-to-crypto exchange registered in Singapore with offices around the world in the U.S., Canada, Estonia and Taiwan. We obtained a tier-1 financial MSB (Money Services Business) license which is regulated and issued by FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) in the United States. With our steady growth of users and community, we constantly give ourselves the pressure of providing more tools and services to them. Bione has done a great job thus far establishing themselves in the industry and we're now ready to expand internationally to serve the ever growing crypto industry.\nThe exchange plans to provide its users with an all-in-one solution, including trading pairs exchange, fiat-token trading, futures trading, market information, and a series of innovative financial derivatives, such as crypto asset custody, crypto asset saving, and DeFi (Open Finance) services.\nHL:What do you think is the core competence of Bione exchange?\nEM: I believe users will find our website easy to use. We're still making tweaks in our UI to increase user experience satisfaction. I also believe a company's competences are all interconnected. With a responsive customer support system, any questions or issues are dealt with quickly by our team. So if something on the site doesn't work well, it's fixed. If feedback is given, we take it to heart and try to implement it if we think it's good for our users. We may not be perfect, but our intentions are always good and we try to be helpful at all times. We spend a lot of our resources on the security of our platform. We've achieved ISO 27001 information security standards across the entire trading platform. It gets quite technical but there are 114 control points covering how information is brought in, managed and maintained. As a user of the Bione platform myself, I want to make sure my funds as well as the funds of all Bione users are SAFU.\nOne of the most criticized parts of cryptocurrency exchanges is the quality of the customer service. Some of these problems include slow withdrawals, frequent login issues, slow customer service responses, thin transaction data, poor API stability and slow response when the multi-factor authentication (MFA) needs to be reset which could result in substantial financial losses for customers. Bione wants to be an industry leader in solving these issues.\nHL:Do you have some big activity or plan in mind regarding the exchange?\nWe've been focused on foundation building and operations the past couple years. We're now ready to expand and be more public in terms of BD and Marketing. Our team is now focused on being a tier one exchange. We're continuing to improve our platform and services offered and plan to innovate and drive for the mainstream adoption of crypto around the world. We may never catch up to the likes of Binance or Coinbase, but we'll position ourselves as a great alternative to them for the crypto community.\nBione aims at being a reliable exchange with the robust technical capacity to implement upgrades and solve technical issues. It values security and understands the importance of having a dedicated professional security team and being ahead of hacking trends. The importance of a healthy trading depth, allowing the exchange to withstand large transactions without big fluctuations, and making sure user funds are safe are at the top of Bione's priorities. Bione's efficient matching algorithm for trade engines is key in price discovery and user experience.\nHL:What do you think about the industry this year? Some people think BTC and possible other digital assets will become a safe haven to the coming recession, others think the market is still very speculative susceptible to be influenced by movements in the equities, commodities and forex markets. Where do you position yourself between these two narratives?\nEM: That's a tough question. The accurate answer is nobody really knows. To me, crypto has not yet proven itself to be a safe haven or hedge to traditional finance the way gold has. I do believe though that crypto has the most upside compared to all the other markets in the world based on how early the industry is in its overall timeline. So if you're looking for short term security, crypto is probably not your best bet. Long term wise though, it's a very good bet. With that said, it certainly is still very speculative and susceptible to other factors including influences from major holders of BTC and traditional market influencers. I'm going to place myself somewhere in between the two narratives because both sides absolutely have their argument points. I sense that this year may still be slow in terms of price growth, but the good news is that the industry itself is continuously building and improving. That hasn't stopped. I have no doubts that crypto will continue to grow and more money will flow into the cryptosphere. We'll be in a bull market again before you know it.\nIn order to protect the bulk of our user funds Bione will have the option of complete offline storage (cold wallet) and private key isolation management. Assets will be stored in batches on multiple offline enterprise-level cold wallets. The cold wallets' private keys will also be isolated and managed offline. Only key people within Bione's management team have clearance to access these private keys.\nHL:What is the biggest challenge you might face right now?\nEM: The biggest challenge is often ourselves. It might sound cliche, but believing in ourselves is the most powerful advice our leaders at Bione give to our team. Oftentimes people like to blame external factors for their own shortcomings, however, humans are amazing and can accomplish anything we set our minds to. I will always encourage the Bione team to reach the goals we set and discourage making excuses for why certain goals aren't met. We try to inspire each other and help each other find the drive needed to achieve great things together regardless of what the market looks like. We're focused right now on finding new ways to improve our platform and bring in more users globally. Hopefully the current pandemic will soon end and the world can return back to normal.\nBione has adopted a series of measures to effectively increase the trading depth of the platform. The core technology used is BLH (Bione Lightning Hand), which is a layer-2 lightning network memory matching technology. This can enable thematching engine to process any trade with a result in less than 850 milliseconds. This means that our matching engine can match tens of thousands of orders simultaneously.\nHL:Could you please give your overall vision for your exchange in the near future?\nEM: Bione will be one of the most trusted exchanges in the future with users from all over the world. We hope to build partnerships with key players in the industry so that we could provide a multi-faceted platform which will serve more than just the trading of crypto but other services that will benefit our users.\nOne of Bione's most attractive models is its BIC repurchase model. After BIC goes online, 100% of the trading fee income generated by platform mining will be used to repurchase BIC during the mining period by Bione. The repurchased BIC will be burned by Bione. Users can check via Bione's official website to ensure transparency until the total destruction of 100 million BIC.\nHL.Where do you see the crypto market in the long term?\nEM: We are still early in the overall timeline for cryptocurrency. We're like at an early adolescent stage of crypto. We just started learning new skills, discovering new challenges, thinking critically about issues and beginning to build relationships with other industries. We've got a long way to go still. We'll need more institutional money to enter the space and the support of governments around the world to further the credibility of cryptocurrencies. Above all, educating the general public about crypto and generating even more interest in crypto will eventually drive up the overall demand of cryptocurrency.\nWith its focus on security, reliability and transparency, Bione is determined to be among the list of exchanges leading the financial revolution which is already starting to take place. Given the current circumstances in the global markets, people around the world will start paying more attention to blockchain technologies and decentralized financial systems. Bione is positioning themselves to take on this golden opportunity.\nPlease follow us on our social media:https://t.me/BIONE_EXhttps://twitter.com/BioneExchangehttps://www.facebook.com/ExchangeBIONE\nCONTACT\nBione\nMr. Eric [email protected]: +8615153242431\nSOURCE: Bione\nView source version on accesswire.com:https://www.accesswire.com/584523/Bione-Announces-New-CEO-to-Lead-Crypto-Exchange", "NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2020 / Beginning April 1 st , Bione exchange has brought on Eric Ma as the new CEO.

A Wyoming corporation founded by blockchain legislative champion and Wall Street veteran Caitlin Long is preparing to apply for a special purpose depository institution (SPDI) charter with the state’s division of banking. The future bank is called Avanti, which means “forward” in Italian, and will be focused solely on providing regulated services for digital assets, Long announced Monday. The company, formed on Jan. 6, has already raised $1 million in seed funding. Avanti will provide payment, custody, securities and commodities activities for institutional customers using digital assets. Related:Caitlin Long on Coronavirus, Crypto Custody and Building a Bank While the company has yet to submit its application, it already has eight products in its pipeline that are not currently available in the U.S. market – the only named one being custody for security tokens. Because trust companies cannot custody securities under U.S. law, SPDIs are uniquely positioned to fill the gap. Avanti’s balance sheet is planned to hold more assets under administration than deposits, and profits will be generated by providing services to institutional clients, similar to large traditional custody banks such as State Street, Bank of New York Mellon and Northern Trust. Long described the business as a “money warehouse. The firm will custody digital assets without any change in the ownership of those assets, like a valet takes care of your car without being given its legal title, Long said. Under Wyoming state law, SPDI banks must keep all of customers’ fiatdemand depositsas liquid assets and cannot lend. However, these entities get to operate under the regulatory oversight of the crypto-friendly Wyoming Division of Banking instead of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Related:Morgan Stanley Buys E*Trade in $13B Deal Avanti is partnering with bitcoin and blockchain technology startup Blockstream, which will provide bitcoin applications, as well as the software and hardware needed to custody digital assets. “Blockstream brings software for the bitcoin protocol. … Avanti brings a regulated delivery vehicle to deliver it into the USD markets,” Long said in an email. With Blockstream’s Liquid – a “sidechain” or parallel network sometimes used to move money between exchanges – the company will able to develop a “one-stop shop” for digital asset custody, said Blockstream CEO and cofounder Adam Back. With Blockstream, Avanti can build adjacent blockchain application programming interfaces (APIs) and conventional banking APIs, Back said. The first might look like an API that initiates multi-signature transactions; the second is usually an API that transfers money between traditional banking ledgers. Long, who pushed for the creation of the SPDI charter, said she didn’t plan on forming an SPDI bank until last Christmas when she was visiting Rome. Prior to her trip, a group – which Long would not name – approached her about creating such an entity. Because of the high capital level required to start an SPDI –around $25 million– many potential applicants have been slow to seek approval, even though the regulatory door been open since last October. Currently, the Wyoming Division of Banking has only received two applications, which the regulator is working with applicants to refine. In Rome, Long had been talking to Back on the phone when she became convinced to start Avanti. (Back is a well-known cryptographer who regularly talked with Satoshi Nakamato duringbitcoin’s(BTC) early days and was cited in Nakamoto’s bitcoin white paper for having created Hashcash, a predecessor technology that inspired the first cryptocurrency.) The setting was appropriate. While they spoke, Long walked between the Imperial Forums and the Roman Forums. There she saw for the first time arostra, a large platform for delivering speeches. “A symbol of decentralized power where citizens gathered to debate and engage in commerce voluntarily during the Republic,” she said. With Back, she talked about the need for big money – pension funds, endowments, foundations, corporations and sovereign wealth funds – to have a regulated partner to deliver services around bitcoin. “It’s a $300 billion asset class and they can’t ignore it anymore,” Long said. “Their existing service providers aren’t able to help them.” That night she landed on the name Avanti. “It’s a fitting name for a bank that’s moving ahead, while also anchored in the history of sound money and clear property rights,” she said. Having finalized the requirements for applications, the Wyoming Division of Banking is now developing the policies and procedures for SPDI banks and defining how the regulator will perform its yearly examination and supervision processes. To do this, the regulator is speaking to other state banking regulators to ensure the charter can transport to other states. “Wyoming is integrating digital assets into the U.S. banking system for the first time,” said Chris Land, general counsel at the state’s banking division. “The first applications that go through the process literally have to be perfect because many of the top financial industry officials in the country will be following the process. Perfection, like art, takes time.” With “a lot of trust placed in us by very important people,” Land said that the process will not be rushed. “Wyoming is a leader in responsible financial innovation, so we have to get this right,” he added. The Wyoming legislature has several blockchain initiatives coming up later this year, including bills that would expand the blockchain task force into a select committee, provide First Amendment protections to code (as long as it isn’t written in a malicious way), and extend the SPDI charter’s field of service to include retail customers. “It’s going to take a little while for folks to get their arms around all that we’ve done,” said Tyler Lindholm, a Wyoming state representative and chairman of the Wyoming Blockchain Task Force. “Blockstream being able to partner with Caitlin Long is a big win for them. Ms. Long knows the charting process. She knows financial regulation inside and out.” • Openfinance Lists New Security Token in Charity Fundraising Effort • IOHK Opens Cardano Research Lab at University of Wyoming Following $500K Donation... - Reddit Posts (Sample): no_data...

Partially reversing a 2.29% gain from Wednesday, Bitcoin ended the day at $7,293.7. It was a relatively choppy day on Thursday. Bitcoin fell from an early morning intraday high $7,370.7 to a mid-morning low $7,254.6 before finding support. Steering clear of the major support and resistance levels, Bitcoin recovered to $7,300 levels before hitting reverse. The reversal saw Bitcoin slide to a mid-day intraday low $7,117.0 before finding support. Bitcoin fell through the first major support level at $7,205.73 before returning to $7,300 levels. Resistance at $7,300 ultimately pinned Bitcoin back late in the day, however. The near-term bearish trend, formed at late June 2019’s swing hi $13,764.0, remained firmly intact, reaffirmed by the March swing lo $4,000. For the bulls, Bitcoin would need to break out from $10,000 levels to form a near-term bullish trend. The Rest of the Pack Across the rest of the majors, it was a mixed day on Thursday. Monero’s XMR and Stellar’s Lumen bucked the trend, with gains of 1.10% and 2.06% respectively. It was a bearish day for the rest of the pack. Bitcoin Cash ABC slid by 4.02% to lead the way down. Bitcoin Cash SV (-1.68%), Ethereum (-2.12%), Ripple’s XRP (-1.83%), Tezos (-1.68%), and Tron’s TRX (-1.63%) also saw relatively heavy losses. Binance Coin (-0.60%), Cardano’s ADA (-0.63%), EOS (-0.49%), and Litecoin (-0.64%) saw modest losses on the day. Through the current week, the crypto total market cap rose from a Monday low $190.55bn to a Tuesday high $211.57bn. A choppy mid-week saw the total market cap fall back to $203bn levels before recovering. At the time of writing, the total market cap stood at $208.50bn. Bitcoin’s dominance eased back from 65% levels seen on Monday. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 64.0%. 24-hour trading volumes recovered from sub-$100bn levels to hit $171bn levels on Tuesday before easing back. At the time of writing, 24-hr volumes stood at $122.26bn. Story continues This Morning At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.03% to $7,295.7. A mixed start to the day saw Bitcoin fall to an early morning low $7,261.0 before striking a high $7,299.8. Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested early on. Elsewhere, it was a mixed start to the day. Bitcoin Cash ABC and EOS were up by 0.46% and by 0.50% respectively to lead the way. Bitcoin Cash SV (-0.02%), Tezos (-0.12%), and Tron’s TRX (-0.64%) saw red early on to buck the trend. For the Bitcoin Day Ahead Bitcoin would need to move through to $7,300 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $7,403.93 into play. Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Bitcoin to break out from Thursday’s high $7,370.7. Barring another crypto rally, the first major resistance level at $7,403.93 and Thursday’s high would likely pin Bitcoin back.

The Fed has made two emergency cuts in the shortest time period it has ever done so, cutting rates to near zero. Last Thursday was the worst day for stocks since the Black Monday crash in October 1987. The S&P 500 is down 11% in the past five days, the Dow down 13% in that time, and the Nasdaq down 10%. Bitcoin has fared even worse. The leading cryptocurrency by market cap is down 30% in the past five days, and down 50% in the past month. On Friday, bitcoin tanked 25% in just 24 hours, bringing it below $6,000 for the first time since May 2019, 10 months ago. Bitcoin rose 87% in 2019, and it had been having a very strong 2020 until mid-February; now it’s down 30% for the year. As of Monday at noon, bitcoin was hovering at $5,000. S&P 500 vs bitcoin over the past 30 days. “It is quite fascinating to watch how bad it’s performed,” said David Zervos, chief market strategist at Jefferies. “To see bitcoin off $1,400 in a day, that’s not going to give people a lot of confidence that it’s doing what it’s sort of marketed to do.” The other largest cryptocurrencies aren’t doing any better amid the coronavirus rout: ether ( ETH ) is down 30% in the last five days, 56% in the last month; XRP ( XRP ) is down 25% in the past five days and 52% in the past month; bitcoin cash ( BCH ) is down 32% in the past five days and down 60% in the past month. What happened to the idea of crypto as a safe haven asset, a hedge against economic uncertainty? Specialist Dilip Patel, left, works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Monday, March 9, 2020. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) The best answer for now is that coronavirus, a so-called black swan event, has become such a massive shock to the global economy that basically every asset class is down, creating a risk-off environment in which crypto, already a notoriously risky investment, isn’t very attractive. Investors are hurriedly selling off stocks, and they’re not moving that cash into crypto. On the other hand, gold has outperformed crypto in 2020, which has further dinged the “digital gold” theory for bitcoin. Even widely reported ( ultimately incorrect ) rumors that paper cash could transmit the virus did not boost the price of digital currencies. Crypto bulls reman bullish. “I think these geopolitical events, including coronavirus and geopolitical tensions, really improve the use case,” Fundstrat’s Tom Lee told Yahoo Finance in February. “I think it’s a good time to look at crypto.” Last week, Lee again reiterated , “In an environment where the stock market is in big trouble, crypto I think does make sense as a hedge.” The people furiously selling off their crypto do not appear to agree. Story continues Bitcoin believers can still point to the fact that bitcoin is up big over a longer period of time: up 1,700% compared to five years ago. Still, because it kissed $20,000 per coin at the end of 2017, bitcoin—fairly or unfairly—still always gets compared to that all-time-high bar. — Daniel Roberts is an editor-at-large at Yahoo Finance and closely covers bitcoin and blockchain.

It\'s more profitable for them to hop between chains with the same mining algos effectively diversifying for their future. "Don\'t put all your eggs in one basket," as the saying goes.\n\nIt doesn\'t matter how cheap it is to attack BSV/BCH relative to BTC; miners will always focus on chasing better profit margins over orchestrating attacks that harm exchanges and the ecosystem.\n\nThe same is true for the reverse: miners aren\'t going to intentionally cause a BTC death spiral.
